Don’t know why you don't have more subs

And the suspicious texts lmao

THE TENSION

I think they reprinted the book with edits, I got a physical one recently and it doesn’t have some of the misprints you mentioned. The video is super helpful though, I’m more of a visual and audio learner, so long reading for rulebooks is hard for me.

I love that you involve your community in your videos! Very enjoyable!!

Well Sir please accept this humble Like for your amazing explanation

I really appreciate how you set the stage in this video! That context makes your players opinions shine, and using three perspectives made this shine :) I am very glad for your channel, while I am never a DM, it's an interesting niche topic that you cover and you do it well, making it accessible to a wider variety than just those that DM. Nice work, thanks for the video!!

this is amazing do you have any open campaigns lol

Ah, finally a good explanation that isn't full of snide asides aimed at other systems. Maybe i can actually get people to start playing.

I love u

Great video! I cant recall if I've fought one of these, have just been in proximity, or am fabricating the entire memory lol

I always thought that the +2 performance would be outside of the five points in social

sweet 🎉thank you

I've seen rules lawyers shut down a game for up to 30ish minutes arguing with the DM about something. I've never seen it done benevolently. It's people who want to get an edge, trying to find any means to do so.

This is great perspective, and is a wonderful tool to help empower the players narratively at the same time as being mechanically fair. Literally win-win. I'll be checking this channel for more wisdom in the future.

I no longer run any D&D, but back when I did I used to be open to creative use of game mechanics. Since I never understood my position as the one running the game to be adversarial to the players, but as cooperative. Well, that is why I moved even further to narrative focused games, and design my own system to work without the need for a game master. And advantage or the like is not needed since I discarded the notion of rolling for competency or to check for capabilities of the character altogether. My system is about who the characters are and not so much what they can do.

The rules provide a framework for modeling combat dynamics in a fantasy setting, and your initial mistake was deciding that the mechanic (sneak attack bonus from an adjacent ally) could only be explained in one way. The mechanics are an abstract model, so try asking the player to narrate how they are getting their bonus within the fiction. Your second is in assuming that “your job is the story.” Your job is to handle the mechanical elements of the game, and provide challenges for the players to overcome as they live out the story. Leave it up to them to describe how and why their abilities work in the world, and both sides of the table will be happier.

Thank you so much!! I sent this to my players before our 0 Session. I think I'm going to allow a few changes and implement some house rules to allow more customized charcter creation. I fell like they were trying to pigeon hole the players into the og team. I have my complaints but it will still be fun

Even though I concur on the premise that too often newer GMs have not enough steps in their adventure, I would say that all the suggestions miss a crucial element. it just blows up the scope but adds no depth to it, thus I would say to make all the added stuff, the foils, the obstacle, the thematic factions, they all need to tie into an underlying meaning -- a leitmotif. Without that you just added garbage to get through, but if there is a through-line that transforms the conflicts into something more than just conflict for the sake of it, then the larger scope will translate into a more memorable fiction.

Somehow missed this one; glad I came back to watch it! I feel like this topic is the interpersonal/IRL version of the "my precious world" problem. Always appreciate your insight :)

Experience for gold, treasure and defeated monsters!

Sorry for the pedantry, but it should be 'Affect' in the title.

Story is in my opinion something that is emergent in the roleplay hobby and not being told. My approach is that I provide the payers with a thematic framework and then let them play in a character driven manner, exploring the theme how they see fit.

I thought this said "fonts". Still watched it though.

This game is fun but I had to wing a few things for the first session

This is a great example of a prop that is easy and cost-effective that most DMs can make. Thanks for sharing.

top notch roleplay ideas

Holy smokes it’s real

Dodging is a a super underestimated power move, especially on a raging barb if your party makes sure to slap you and keep your rage going.

I love this. Thank you. ❤

I would appreciate a part two plz

I understand what you were doing but the tropes in MMPR means that the leader of the power team would be Red/White/Green. Making it Black Ranger doesn't fit the trope and even your build seems more like the second in command to me.

About to start a PR campaign, in fact having zero session later today. This was eminencely helpful! Thank you very much for making this!

I definitely have a preference for role-play when GMing, especially with social encounters... going so far as to remove Charisma as a stat. Not saying it's for everybody but I'm a rather theatrical GM and I try to bring my NPCs to life, such that it feels icky for me to allow them to be manipulated by the roll of the dice (c.f. the outrage if a GM were to roll a Persuasion check against the PCs and expect them to abide by it). So I asked my players, "Do you want high-rez NPCs or do you want Charisma? Cause, to be fair to myself and the effort I put into prep, I can't let you have both." Now, knowing that not all players are comfortable with heavy role-play, I make some concessions... 1. Players may still use their mental stats to try and get hints. 2. Players may also "slip into exposition" (i.e. I lie to the shopkeeper, telling him that his sister was involved in an accident and urgently needs his help). There were some growing-pains but, after a few sessions, we don't miss CHA at all. That, at least, is what worked at my table! 🙂

Drama queen

The Yin and Yang of the story telling games

Great video! Very insightful

Thanks this was super helpful, also i think the mew edition rule books have fixed some of the issues, sush as light weapons are now in the book, it explains when to do the upgrades

Plz more

Fairly solid explanation, but turn up your RECORD VOLUME!!!

This is a really good idea! I’m definitely making something like this for my DnD group now!

Real cool!!

😢beautiful 🎉

I wanna play at the amazing table

9:22 getting your “immediate friends” to play is awesome lol

The hardest part of running any game like this, is capturing the original "vibe" of the IP. Unless you personally have never had anything to do with the IP in its original form, because then you have no theme accurate expectations. I myself would only want to run this game with players that would be willing to do the homework of watching 5 or more episodes of one of the Power Rangers seasons, in order for us as a group to capture the feel of Power Rangers. One of my chief aims when running an IP related rpg, is accurately seizing the theme of that IP.

This helped a lot, trying to understand the rules and how it works with the lack of defined terms it was hard for me to conceptualize. Character creation is fun and my players like that as well but it doesnt matter when the gm section feels like a rough draft. This helped a lot thanks
