You are a glutton for punishment...3 group games. How do you find the time...😮👏🏻 Keep an eye on your dice around toddlers.🎲👀

I like the idea of a creature infested with other creatures that burst out when it dies, so I'll havt to do that to my 9lv group next session but with something that will be a danger to them...🤔👍🏻 Have to look for your wearrat EPS now to see how it went.

I played along and got an aasimar barbarian with the soldier background.

No, you cannot have expertise unless a feature says it explicitly gives you expertise. If you get proficiency in the same skill from say a background or a feature, then you can pick another skill instead. Otherwise, nothing happens. Also, you don't roll your hit dice on the first level. First level is always hit point max (aka hit dice + con mod) and from level 2 and onwards, you roll. So you should have 8 hp.

This is a super cool concept! I was worried for a second that you’d end up with a warlock without eldritch blast, but luckily you got it on the reroll! Also your voice is incredibly relaxing!

This is a fun idea. I hoped you'd do some analysis of how feasible that character would be by the end of the video tho...

First Comment I'm honored. I love the idea of a random character.

On which page is the last one?

If you haven’t found it already, “Return of the Lazy DM” has been the most valuable book ever. Especially as an improv DM

Pretty awesome. You don’t sound like a noob!

Video popped up on my dash & ofc the 'noob' in both the title as well as username caught my attention. Then "Gross bugs" and a few other things and I was like: "Ew bugs, but....." You have a rather earnest looking face and you looked rather proud/had a pleasant smile. So I'm gonna book mark this for later and watch when I have time and upvote now. as what little I've seen shows you're doing this for the delight of the craft and family time. I'll try to let you know what I think later! Good luck and thanks for sharing with us. I hope you and your son get to have more game sessions together in the future.

Ours doesn't

"do you know what's the worst part of the new player's handbook is?" Me: "the non existent balancing of conjure minor elementals?" THE SCRATCHY PART ON THE BACK IS GONE! Me: "oh yeah that's worse"

Yeah all the new junk is defective there's no soul left in Dungeons & Dragons anymore Hasbro is continuing to destroy it

Improv as a DM is great. If you allow a roll, let there be possibility for reward.

Check out some of the anthologies. You might be able to drop a few in at appropriate levels and embed some Vecna seeds for what’s to come. There is a chapter in Storm King’s Thunder that has short descriptions for dozens of locations across the forgotten realms, if you’re looking for inspiration to make your own situations and encounters.

Not sure you're a dice goblin yet as you didn't say.... Ah sure I'll open another one.... I can always get some more!

I always was interested in adding, but I call survival systems. Something like upkeep for equipment or needing to get new equipment over time. However, during my time of playing fifth edition, there are so many other systems going on especially on the player character sheets it just bogged down the game. Now that I play less convoluted systems I have a much easier time adding systems to game. Games like shadow dark that really lives off of survival. D&D is about doing heavy damage and casting cool spells, not about surviving the wilderness and having to stop at a town to buy a common sword. Meanwhile, shadow dark characters are always making sure they have a back up weapon because it’s not uncommon to lose the sword and when you’re in a dark dungeon, sometimes you can’t find it.

Cons of the new book: Many of the pictures are for the tr...h. But, the content of the gameplay stuff looks actually create, Most of the stuff is nice or better as before (i only complain, that the evoker wizard has his sculptur skill re-placed to lvl6, instant of lvl 2, when that was the save zone ability for his aoe, but, the new 3. lvl skill looks nice to).

I am also about to DM Vecna Eve of Ruin. I disagree with many poor reviews it's had. From reading the book, It looks so awesome and it's flaws can be easily fixed.

There are a lot of quality of life inprovements in the updated rules... some things that will probably get an errata eventually too, but overall I like them.

i allow PCs to use the classes/subclasses from 2014 or 2024 rules, following the wotc intent for compatibility: PCs can mix options, but if a PC uses anything from 2024, they must use the 2024 version for anything that exists in both. As a DM, i'll use the 2014 rules for conditions until there's a non-ugly DM screen for 2024.

wow, good luck!

One of my groups has lost equipment to being arrested and gray ooze's. Its pretty good because it gives them something to spend money on and it makes some great moments when they forget their statistics/attributes/ac has changed.

Sorry you wasted your money on that.

A pizza party is the ultimate conflict resolution tool 😂

Baro-viiaa ~~☆

Crazy that you got 39 sessions AND level 10 out of Icespire!! That’s genuinely kind of a feat. Both strahd and Dragonheist are good. I love Dragonheist and City Games in general

The players got pretty good luck aside from strahd’s final confrontation. And yes a in game card reading would supersede this as written

It's great, but I totally agree, it's tough. It's a shame there's not more child friendly content. I was doing Minecraft and Pokémon DnD as well but it's actually easier just sticking with natural DnD and tailoring it for kids. I tried to make it funny too, Orcs tripping over their boot laces on a natural 1. I drew little puzzles on paper for them to solve or gave them some Lego blocks to 'make' a key.

That’s a pretty fun way to set up a campaign. I got to convince some people to play D&D.

Thank you!! ive been wanting this for so long.

The change to species was made to more accurately represent what the difference between an elf, an orc and a dwarf for example. They're not just weird-looking humans, they are entirely different species. Interbreeding is still a thing discussed in the rules, something you'd know if you actually read the book. Basically, since it'd be a near impossible task to create the thousands, maybe even millions, of different combinations of species they're instead just saying "if your parents were of different species you may take whatever cosmetic traits you want from both of them but mechanically you'll have to choose one of them." It's a way for them to broaden what species can interbreed, not restrict it.

The Tyranny of Dragon is so much work for the Dungeon Master. Plus, it is very unbalanced. Of the choices shown, I would go with the Waterdeep ones for the "new" rules.

Are doing both d20 to hit and damage dice? Are they rolling all the dice together in one throw and you interpret? Everybody loves a fist full of dice ^.^

Well, uh, that's the cutest dragonborn of all time.

why are you so stupid? D&D is coasting along on label recognition. WotC and Hasbro have openly stated that they "HATE WHITE PEOPLE" and "CAN'T WAIT TO GET ALL WHITE MALES OUT OF GAMING." why are you giving them your money? Why can't you look at the game math and see that its idiotic? why can't you look at a game mechanic like "Advantage" and understand that that mechanic is in their game because it is utterly pointless to play without "advantage" helping you to cheat? They hate you. PERIOD. They think you are STUPID, and every red cent you give them prooves them right. Play anything you want, but DO NOT PLAY DUMMIES AND DIPSHITS!

The last 3 campaigns I've run I gave my group at least 3 options and let them choose. Almost every time the group has been unanimous and choose the next campaign together.

Sounds like a good time!

Does this young dragon has a parent that cares that its offspring was slain? EDIT: dragon family! Nice!

Curse of Strahd can be a challenge as it usually requires a lot of improvisation from the DM. fortunately since it's the most popular 5e adventure, there's a ton of videos giving advice on running it. Not all the advice is great, but you can get a lot of ideas.

Nice : )
