Sending to party now

There was only one time I fudged rolls and that was when I kept rolling nat 20s and had to stop myself from slaughtering the party.

Our party has agreed with our DM that he won’t fudge rolls because “sometimes the dice want to tell a story, and sometimes that story is a tragedy”, we’ve had 4 TPKs in the last 2 years. At least he re-uses our characters instead of letting them get lost forever, the “undead adventuring party” trope somehow stays interesting

Our players just don't understand.

Hey 👋 that’s me!

wow, what an adventure! The DM absolutely nailed the Middle-earth vibe, blending Tolkien’s epic world with D&D mechanics perfectly. The players were super into their roles, and the mix of action, humor, and heartfelt moments kept me hooked the whole time. I can't wait to see more from them

Hell yay a tavern brawl being the pain let's how mean critical headshots i can get >:)

S&S is the pre-cursor Grimdark.

There is a plan?

Don't forget that dnd is about having fun with your friends

bro what is michael schofield doing

good riddance

Who is that guy?

Yes, but the Bard from "The Evilest King" can now deal 31d6 damage from a single insult... you're not lasting very long 😂

Hey 😄👋 finding this video a good year and change later... Nice introduction, nice to meet you and looking forward learning more!

I personally like the world of Conan the Barbarian over LOTR. With the budget of LOTR Conan could have had more impact. LOTR has no real ICONIC role nor Character like Conan.

Actually I believe Conan the barbarian came out in the 1980s. Perhaps I'm wrong though.

The final piece of advice is critical: I've had both players that try to be lone wolves and not interact with the rest of the team, and players that believe that this is some kind of PvP game, and both approaches usually result in disaster.

First day of kindergarten in Austria

I used to love this movie kindergarten cop

The first day of kindergarten in Austria

I prefer high fantasy. It has more story driven boundaries that I can wrap my head around a lot easier. Sword & sorcery is fun to watch the characters and how they interact with the world but it just doesn't have that storyline that I like most of the time.

I would really like to learn how to DM myself. But I also would learn. Would like to find a group at some point. Is there any way you could help?

Im glad that i found this i started dnd recently in 2023 after high-school and i have been looking for a main group to play because i want dnd to be one of my hoobies thank you so much

The best answer to this question is "Roll for initiative"

"Let's find out."

S&S for adults, fantasy is for the uninitiated

Its getting near dawn

Well you weren't before!

this has absolutely nothing to do with the video but im learning this song on drums

both. they're both a sadist and the storyteller but mainly a sadist

Gobs vs kobs everybody

I absolutely love that the first roll was for a trenchcoat for the Kobolds. Amazing.

Straight people is the difference

Umberto Eco reacted to the Sword and Sorcery phenomenon with some condescending bemusement in the 1970s; as a European, he didn't know what to make of it.

Sorry but i am GM, play many years with many RPG but i only speak French ... 🦕

Really like your videos, Adam.

My favorite movies too. I also draw and art that genre. Fan for life. Absolutely love it

I was reading through the terms on the site, and one thing sticks out. If we as GMs are independent contractors, by definition you can't restrict us from working on other platforms. That's just how the law works. Also, what percent do you take from the total payment? Startplaying gives the exact numbers on that on their site, but if it's disclosed on yours, I haven't been able to find it. I'm genuinely interested to see some competition in this space! It's good for everyone. Still, I do think you need to address these things.

This video is Game Master gold! So many great tips and advice.

I could actually envision scenarios written for Call of Cthulu: Dark Ages going either way. Its typical for horror plots to focus on characters in a particular place. What happens to them individually, do they escape, do they defeat the terror? However, an investigation with twists, turns, red herrings, and a few unfortunate deaths among rounded characters is probable in stories involving mystery.

When people say textbooks are dry, they mean this is what's missing. There's no motivation or story, no personal detail or explanation, just a bunch of facts and events and dates we're supposed to remember even tho we care nothing for those involved. We would of course, but we're given no context. And good teachers fill in this gap. It's the same, as you say, with gaming. Without any pc relevance or other reasons to care, it's just info-dumping.

I started off getting into fantasy with Shannara, which I'd classify as High Fantasy, and stuck with that kind of stuff for a long time. But I gradually became more and more interested in Sword & Sorcery over time. I think the change started when I read The Black Company; that has a very character-driven style, where the world itself really only exists to support the characters.

Goku be like: wow you’re strong let’s fight

I have always gotten my most serious roleplay out of my goofiest characters. Yeetus Cornfather is a name known and feared throughout the realms.

True

I can understand why you might would think so, and there is some truth to it, but I think it's inaccurate to say Conan follows a "might makes right" code. He is a thief, a warrior, and eventually a king, all done and justified by might, that is true. But he also regularly fought against the strong in defense of the weak. Which he would not have done if strwngth was his only moral consideration.
