Thanks for this gift. Those of us with dyslexia, thank you. I really wanna know the information in these books, but when it takes a couple days to read the first chapter with time permitting, the rest of the book looks like a mountain. I will never climb. This is a great help.

Need to work on those pesky pronounciations…

Thanks for doing this! Exactly what I was looking for

😂 You'd think being called a 'halfling' would be more offensive than being called a 'demi-human'.

It was difficult to both play and run in 3.5. I used a lot of this book in 5th edition and the toughest aspect for my players was the lack of rest/space place. After their first foray in the DW, they started to ration their use of powers... Barbarians without rage... Nice... Whenever you run the DW, the alienness and the constant threat and pressure is your friend, whichever edition they play...

Thanks for putting this out there, Jim! Only three minutes in to the first video I've watched on your channel and you've convinced me to subscribe to the channel (and ring the bell icon). Great stuff, excellent takes, please keep up the awesome work!

MAYBE, benefit of the doubt, that ridiculously huge number of magic items is including A LOT of consumables like potions and spell scrolls?

I'd add that the Far Realm is a place where the PCs should not ever return from unscathed, if they return at all. So if that is the sort of thing a DM wants to avoid, they probably want to stick to having the adventure take place in a region affected by the Far Realm through rifts and such, rather than going into the plane itself.

thank you i have a hard time concentrating when reading so this helps a lot !!

I’m running a Saltmarsh-based campaign now so this section is perfect

Thank you, despite my funds, my time is also precious. This will pass the time while I work today. a second and mighty heroic thanks from the pocket multiverse! Also, Impressive resume my friend. I will tell my friends to invade this world.

I think that potential confusion about the orbs is why WoTC left out any mention of them in the Carceri section. That way, DMs who are new to Carceri who read that can just make each of the layers be one singular expanse instead of a string of giant evil pearls nested in each other. Also you didn't mention it, but that art in the Carceri section is pretty cool imo. The party is standing right above a gigantic eldritch horror in what I'm assuming is Agathys, and the entity is just looking up at them like "Sup, mind if you let me out of this ice? I totally won't make you regret it."

This DMG is very much geared to fans of Critical Role IMHO.

I incorporated this adventure and the expedition to the ruins of Greyhawk in the same campaign to huge success. Good video, good adventure.

What do you think of using the demonic possession curse from Chapter 3 in the Abyss? How likely should that be to happen to a PC while exploring the plane, or is that something to avoid doing since it runs the risk of compromising player agency?

To play archdevil's advocate, I think the table could be used as a jumping off point if the DM wants to have a planar adventure, but is struggling to figure out which idea they want to go with, so they let the dice decide the initial premise and work out the campaign from that random decision. This could especially be useful if they decide to do something in the Upper Planes, since people might have a harder time thinking for adventure hooks there than in the Lower Planes, where the hooks just fall off trees.

i really like this and thank you so much doing this for us

They mentioned dark sun? That’s a surprise.

Wow, this is a great idea. Thank you for doing this! I have the new DMG but this is great to experience it this way

Critical Fumbles in 5e for attack rolls are bad game design, period. A level 1 character who only attacks once or twice is less likely to have a critical fumble compared to a 15th level character who attacks many more times. As you get more experienced, the more likely you are to have a critical failure? I still don't understand people who like this house rule. Make it make sense.

Cheers for this, some good advice in here

If you strip out most of the D&D flavoured overlay (the silly monsters, the global zoo of player races etc) then there is some useful generic advice in this. The monster behaviour tables, for example, are good for solo play or random encounters. It goes off the rails when it turns into a miniatures wargame, but some of the earlier role-playing content isn't bad.

I got the dmg myself, but I appreciate getting to listen to it audiobook style plus your commentary

Read The Fine Manual … lol

The fact that they removed the section on customizing villains is one of the strangest changes of this book for me. I'm not entirely sure why it was removed since, in my opinion, creating a memorable villain for your campaign is arguably one of the best parts of DND

This is great, very helpful!! I'm so interested in getting into DM stuff but I'm always so unsure of what to do 😭Thank you so much for this!!! 💛💛

I get the book later this month so this was great to find!

Ya, he's back. Glad to see you on RUclips again. Putting this on my watch list!

amazing video but the voice is very low. hard to hear.

Fun video! I’m just getting into dnd and am really fascinated by the planescape setting. Thanks for taking the time to cover some highlights from this book! I think I’ll have to pick up a copy!

plan to do the great modron march by chance?

Thanks for this.

X4 and x5 are not set in Ylaruam.

I went through this with a split class fighter/assassin/magic user and devastated the monsters. The rest of the party died and they actually let me go as I was Lawful Evil and they told me "you will be back when you die".

It should be miserable being in extreme cold, the party must be prepared for the weather.

I recently used the Allip for a very cool encounter in a deserted temple. My unfortunate players character went mad scribbling away for hours on end. And then, decided to keep the scroll she had written the secret on. The entire party, including her, refuse to read the scroll. What would you do in that situation out of curiosity as it'll be a week or two before we get back to that session? TIA

G1, G2, and G3...The best!

Great video! There's a noticeable lack of videos like these about 3/3.5e modules and your way of going through them is both thorough and engaging! I've noticed you've been away from RUclips for several months now, and I really hope you'll make more videos like these at some point.

"Die Vecna die" is just German for "The Vecna the".

One thing I'd point out In terms of converting D3 to 5E: the encounter with the Succubus and Vampire is far more brutal in old AD&D since both opponents drained character levels back in the day. Which in turn left characters even more vulnerable to the rest of the module. In 5E as a DM you might even want to beef up the pair in this encounter, depending on the makeup of your player party.

Excellent video. This is a subject very near and dear to me. I've been diving into the GDQ modules for years now and you have touched on a lot of excellent topics. Respectfully, I think the rabbit hole goes much deeper but I assume you were limited by time for the video. If you ever have the time to discuss the G or D series modules further I would love to speak with you.

cool

I wanted a review of the module not how to convert it to 5th edition

5 minutes into the ad&d bashing and I quit watching.

Your audio was very quiet in this video

Thank you for making this video! The only thing I ask is to turn up your mic volume some, had a hard time hearing. But thank you for making this and I’m hoping to try and run a 5e version of this

Love the tactical breakdown good video!

Heck ya, love these in depth reviews.

I love the idea of a "living gate" - in tradegate obviously a trader. I envision him putting daily usages of the portal for auction or something.

Sigil...Hard G! They'll lock you up for that.
