Ryoko's Guide is here if you want to check it out. *Thank* *you* *for* *everything!* www.kickstarter.com/projects/dndshorts/ryokos-guide-to-the-yokai-realms-a-5e-tome?ref=78om9q
hi, I've checked kickstarter page, but I didn't quite understand what's exactly this guide is. Is that a bunch of content for other DMs to include in their campaigns or is that a full campaign for players to play? Could you please clarify a bit? P.S: Love your channel
Please tell me there will be a Ryoko stat block
@@Deathixful There are actually two books, Ryoko's Guide and Wrath of the Kaiju! Ryoko's Guide includes tons of things to expand and enhance D&D for players and GMs, like a bunch of new races, subclasses, mechanics such Combo Attacks, Gargantuan Monster fighting rules, and Harvesting and Crafting rules. It also includes a bunch of monsters and each one comes with lore and history for GMs to use if they like.
Wrath of the Kaiju is 5 full, ready to play adventures that culminate in a clash against a Kaiju, complete with maps, locations, NPCs, puzzles, etc. everything a GM needs to run games pretty much! Hope that helps!
Just backed the project. Can't wait to check it out, though. i am wondering if there is gonna be a play test phase. Saw the samples and would love a space to give feedback to make things better
Man, two years of this. How much have things changed and where you were before hand. This is really wholesome and made my day to hear this, take care man.
I'm glad success hit you, but never be too quick to deny your hard work. Putting passion and effort into the videos and being an authentic and genuine person goes a lot farther than any analyst will say outloud. Keep up the passion and the support will keep coming :)
I destroyed your 69 likes😅
This is the way
This 100%. The amount of effort he goes into for editing, audio, backgrounds, and even scripts is really well spent. It makes a package that made him popular and I'm glad he got that opportunity
I couldn’t agree more. You do an awesome job and your genuineness is a huge draw for me. Thank you.
Was afraid this was going to be a something-went-wrong video, but super happy at how wholesome this was. Thanks as always for all you do!

Now that's just wrong, we all care. We're glad we can give back to you what you deserve for all the amazing things you have done for this community, even ignoring (somehow) Ryoko's, which is honestly the book that made me decide to not transfer to 1DND properly when it releases.
You are godsent my guy, you are the heart and soul, and the passion of this community all into a single bundle. Don't feel bad bout the breaks, you deserve them.
Lots of love from us all, please keep it up
You’re consistent, that’s more vital to the success than anything. Consistently making good content is what got you here and I’m glad you’re enjoying the fruits of your labor!
*THIS IS NOT A JOKE!*
You are welcome sir! Love your content!
The amount of honesty, humility and overall pure kindness in you will always keep us together and attract more people interested in dnd, funny stories and super content( videos, shorts, kickstarter, patreon...)
we all love you and hope you the best !
And thank you for being part of our voice when it mattered earlier this year. You've been a big inspiration to all of us and I hope to support you more in the future.
I'll second this. Beyond how entertaining your content is and how infectious your enthusiasm is what you did during OGL problems was amazing. Many creators complained but I feel like you more than anyone wwee a voice for all of us yelling, "this isn't okay." Your expose on the background and internal bits of the problem alone has earned the communities respect and support.
Thank you for everything you have done and I can't wait to get a copy of your book.
I'm literally crying. I'm glad to be a part of this. People like you are inspiring me to start my own content creation and do what I've wanted for most of my life. I literally can't handle the intense feelings I'm getting from finally doing what I want. It's really us that should be thanking you. So thank you for being an inspiration.
I appreciate expressed gratefulness this way much more than a generic “thank you”, and it makes me feel like a part of this community you’ve fostered 👍
Yeah I mean the thanks is going both ways. It is a thank you for lets face it _people making what WotC never will_ people love D&D and hate WotC and this is a creator and a community both thankful that if they will not make it... we will.
As an OG d&d guy, this content supports Gary's original vision of the game.
You are welcome! I've been playing for over 40 years and I love your content. Thrilled to back Ryoko's. Finding something you're passionate about and succeeding is a huge blessing. It's been like that for me in my business, and I'm thrilled that you have achieved this as well. It's made the whole community stronger.
Hey, don't blame yourself. The fact that you stayed humble and didn't wanna brag is a good thing. You care about the same stupid nerdy stuff that we do, and that's what matters. Stay awesome, mate!
Your stuff always makes me smile, even on horrible grey days like today, and it's made me better at playing d&d. Thank you for the fun and joy you bring into our lives. Also this video made me tear up, you monster.
“you monster.” 😂😂😂
As a person who was one of the first to back the edition, I’d been waiting for this for about a year now, to see your hard work come to fruition, the blood and sweat and tears is such a beautiful thing to get to take part of.
Thank you for sharing your vision, thank you for your passion and dedication. Thank you so much for being you
Don't be ashamed to be thankful, just stay out of internet drama.
Skill, imagination, and hard work are a powerful and extremely unlikely combination. You and your supporters deserve all the credit.
Congratulations, and thank you
You deserve everything good that has and will come your way, you gave the D&D community a voice when we needed it most and that will never be forgotten.
Feels like a "If you build it, they will come" story.
Charisma and passion will draw a crowd, but you still had to put in the work. You deserve all of this.
Hey, thank you man. Fact is, you and other creators have inspired me to start a (currently empty) channel, even as I'm about to turn 40. I know it's insane to feel like success to this level for talking about DnD is deserved, but you've built a great community who likes your content. Best wishes!
Me too! I keep thinking about it but maybe I should just do it.
I totally get hit it may feel awkward - both talking about it and not talking about it. But I think you did an excellent job of once again just being yourself, honest and genuine. I am glad you are here, your videos have been a great addition to the D&D community, and I am thrilled that Ryoko's is such a great hit!
It's such a bummer to not be able to actively get into Ryoko's right now (hope to be able to later) but it's still so awesome to see it all unfold. For me personally this channel was that one interesting thing in my RUclips shorts that kept me scrolling to find more that has now evolved into me actively choosing this channel to help with my (future) characters and campaigns. It, this, you, actively inspire people, you help people and your family while not letting it get to your head. Say thank you and celebrate all you want, it is definitely deserved.
You may have needed to say thank you over and over, but this success is due, in part, to our desire to say thank you too. You inspire so much joy with your videos, whether it’s 1 minute or 15 minutes at a time. Nothing but love, man.
The most incredible thing is realizing that people love what you do, so don't ever feel like saying "thank you" so many times gets old! For the people that love you and what you make, we shouldn't get annoyed by your gratitude! Keep doing what you're doing for you, because THAT is exactly what we love! You're incredible mate! I've never backed a Kickstarter before, but knew that I absolutely needed to for you! You deserve to strive in this community, and I'm so excited about everything you make in the future!
Man, you simply being honest and having your personality show through in your editing and humor and small tips. It's what brought me to the channel in the first place and it's what continues to make me want to watch and share them. Just keep that up and thank you!
Being grateful is the coolest feeling. I have been having that feeling a lot lately too. It's so good to express that. I'm glad you made this video!
No. Thank you! For all the entertainment, your wonderful view of D&D 5e. You are a great person and provide awesome outlook on our fandom.
It’s simple, we love what you’re doing and you deserve all of these wonderful things. Just keep being you (PS: I haven’t forgot the advice you gave me at GenCon, thanks for keeping it real.)
Wholesome comment
I started writing my own book two years ago and the OGL situation really put me down, resulting in me stopping the project for months. D&D was basically all I've played my whole life and I felt like in a lose-lose situation. However, I rewrote most of the material making it system agnostic and man, that's the best thing that happened to the book. Once freed from the D&D shackles, I had total liberty to be as creative as I wanted. Now I'm at the proof-reading stage and I hope to be able to release it by the end of the year. There's always a silver lining out there, you just have to look for it. I wish you all the best.
"I've never properly thanked you"
Nah, you thank us every time you post a video. The excitement when I see your videos pop up in my recommended are MORE than enough reason to support you❤
Very happy for you and the rest of the team behind the book! ❤
Gratitude is never wasted. Thank you for what you do!
You're welcome. 😁
You've definitely earned this. So congratulations.
We love your passion and enthusiasm for all of your D&D videos.
Channels like yours are why I love RUclips. I love watching folks nerd out about whatever it is that they love, and if it also happens to be something that I love nerding out about?? That’s golden. Thanks for your passion and all of the work you put in. So happy it’s been able to get you into these spaces and able to support you in a real way! That’s so amazing! I hope there’s lots of good yet to come your way.
Wait, it's only been two years? I feel like it's been longer. Congrats and the book's success. You and the team clearly deserve it.
Yo, I’m going to be honest, I don’t play DnD but I follow your stuff. You show a lot of love and knowledge. And you produce solid content. You were an amazing guide during the OGL debacle, and I hope you know you are valued. Congrats on your book!
So happy for you and the Ryoko team. You're making the kind of content this hobby deserves.
I'm so happy that you get all the support. I also think that, saying "thank you" is nice. However, also remember that those people decided themselves to buy your content because it probably is very cool.
Also, for the whole standing up to wizards, that was for all of us, which was nice.
I think the biggest testimony to your character is how far you went public against the OGL situation. It would of been safer and easier to remain quiet but you went all in. Risking the last 2 years of your career because you believed it was the right thing to do.
Those actions alone would of harbored the loyalty you've seen with Ryoko's. But not only, it is a fantastic product. The kickstarter is our way of giving you a direct thank you - a thank you to the RUclipsr who fought tooth and nail against the umbrella they built their foundation on.
I’ve literally never been this early to a video
Same 🥳
And he rolled a nat20 on that CHA check
It's incredibly humbling to have so many people, a great deal of these who you've never met, think so very highly of you and your work. But credit where it's due, you utterly deserve it! I've been playing and DMing TTRPGs for over 40 years and I wouldn't have a clue where to begin doing what you do. Your amazing personality and love for what you do shines through in every video you make. I'm really looking forward to picking up a copy of your guide once it's released and using it in my own campaign. Please keep up the most excellent work!
I'm honestly so excited for Ryoko's Guide. It looks amazing, and this video feels... incredibly authentic and is touching.
I'm constantly impressed by how supportive the DnD / TTRPG community seems to be. Congratulations on all your success!
My favorite DnD Shorts video! Expressing gratitude is always a good thing - it's what RUclips should be!
Proud of you and all you've done for the community :D Thank you for your passion, your dedication and all the off the wall builds!
Keep doing you dude!
Man, you have consistently put forth entertaining, informative and fun content. Your personality and excitement keep bringing back, even when I had lost interest in D&D.
Not only did you earn this, we want to support you. 🙏
The journey of dnd content creation is crazy and a fun ride, we haven't had the larger scale success that DnD Shorts has but we get to meet all kinds of amazing and wonderful content creators in the community on our podcast. I completely get where he's coming from cause we are grateful for everything at our scale, being in his shoes is like how do you process that and express what words can't convey.
I believe sincerity and irony don't necessarily diminish each other.
As I feel you've made the whole of D&D community much better over the years with your content, your humor and all your definitely hard work, I also want to express my gratitude. So thank you D&D Shorts, thank you Will 😃😇❤️
And thank YOU for regularly coming into our videofeed with heartfelt content. Even when it might not always be what I was looking for it has always been real and authentic.
You can tell you make videos for you because of the enthusiasm and life you bring to your content. It's not fake, its not a character you've made up, you can genuinely see you just like to talk about what you talk about. I haven't even gotten into playing D&D yet, still sit on the fringes trying to find a group / time to do so but your content is entertaining even for me. Keep doing what you're are doing man.
I did NOT expect the number to be that high. That is so awesome. Congratulations to everyone!
I appreciate you. DnD Shorts is absolutely my #1 D&D RUclips channel. Thanks you for your work, and please keep it up!
One of the reasons I love the D&D space in this day and age is that I get to support creators like you. I love having the chance to see peoples' creative ideas and dreams come to fruition and then be able to use them in my games. It's so much fun and fills me with such joy that someone can literally make a career out of D&D and the TTRPG space in general. Congratulations on your success!
Backed it on first payday. Can't wait to see all the fun stuff you come up with.
You (among a couple other creators) literally got me into the hobby with your wacky builds, so I think it's fair to say, no need to thank for anything, and thank you for making DnD such a great experience for everyone.
47K views in 4 hours means we your fans and fellow DnD nerds are really invested in a fun hobby and an even more amazing community. Keep being yourself and know that we've got your back (as in, backing you on Kickstarter, because Ryoko's is looking awesome!).
You are one of the biggest reasons I'm able to survive my work week. When I listen to you I actually feel better about what I do. Thank you for what you do for all of us.
This is such a lovely video, DnDShorts really makes his community feel seen 🥰
You're wrong about one thing: we obviously care! And it's heartwarming to know how you feel about things. I, for one, supported Ryoko's because you seemed genuinely excited by the project, and I will always support someone who is excited by their work, rather then a faceless corporate machine.
I hosted a panel at a con recently for new DMs, and I mentioned your channel once in regards to an audience question. I saw many people in attendance nod and murmur agreement. You're talented, passionate, and funny. That resonates with this community. I certainly appreciate your content. Keep up the good work.
So excited for ryoko's guide. Stay true to yourself and keep striving! We all appreciate you 🙏
You say thank you to us, but we as well must thank you for all your work. You've inspired many aspects of my and many other's DnD characters and I've loved watching your channel grow even though I don't really comment and just lurk and like.
Thank you, ❤
As a 40+ year D&D player, I could not have, in my wildest imaginings, thought that D&D would be so popular that not only would it register even a blip on the cultural landscape, but that it would spawn so many fascinating artistic endeavors, to include your channel.
Passion is contagious. Doing what you do with genuine passion and truth to yourself is exactly the kind of content others want to share in. Well done!
we love you, man! thanks for all the content you've been putting out for us to enjoy
This is a pure honest and humble reaction, in all its awkwardness. And I am so glad you shared this, you're awesome and I'm glad you got such great support.
i wouldn't say its humble. Maybe a humble brag.
I've been working on a tabletop RPG for the longest time. Up until recently I had been feeling completely burnt out on the project and seeing you share the amazing work you've been doing on Ryoko's has cast a full-blown True Resurrection on my motivation. You bet I'm backing it, and let me say thank YOU for being an incredible creator and inspiration to myself and the countless others out here in the community.
I'm glad you found this success man, you have been an entertaining source of content and it definitely comes across as genuine
Your channel has been consistently fun the entire time, I hope your success continues
I've been watching your videos for like the last year as they keep being recommended by RUclips to me. Just realized I wasn't subscribed (fixed now) and I also backed Ryoko's Guide. Thanks for the honestly and sincerity in this video.
I found your channel a few months before BG3 dropped at all.
Ive been getting more and more curious about D&D and thats how I found your page/videos.
I just started watching them for the humor, the knowledge on how to genuinely just break the game and honestly sheer curiosity.
Your videos are awesome. The shorts too. You're a genuine person with a genuine passion and you managed to find an audience of people who share that passion too.
Congrats on the success and I look forward to the next video.
You're welcome. And thank YOU for the content you put out. You are insightful and hilarious, and you put a lot of work and research into what you do. Looking forward to hearing what you think about DC20 from The Dungeon Coach!
How the duck plucking, son a slop farmer is this video considered "boring"!? This is a man being vulnerable in a way that is needed these days. I thank you for communicating this to us. Truly. Thank you for sharing.
I for one and i am sure the other hundreds of thousands of subscribers and non subscribers can see and appreciate honesty, and especially heart felt honesty. Celebrating milestones is good, but what i saw and noticed during the last year of coming to see your content is that you care for the game, you care for the craft. Its important to you, but you also care for the countless people who also love the craft like you who play right now and the players who will play in the future. So, this is my heart felt thank you in reply. Thank you so very much for putting your reputation and livihood on the line for the rest of us.
Im so proud of how much this channel has grown, and thank you for all the hours of enjoyment i have gotten from your videos
I'm glad you were able to make this video. It gives you a chance to humilize and give thanks to the people who supported you, including me. DnD forever!
Man, thanks for creating all the stuff you do. The D&D community may be centred around a game, but at the heart of it, it’s a group of people who all share a common interest. We’re all so grateful for all you do, keep up the good work!
You have been one of the best figure in my life, to get me into DND. You never need to thank us man, if anything, you changed our lives for the better. Plus the beard is just perfection (like no joke, I one day aspire to have my beard be like yours). Thank you for all of your amazing work, and I will forever appreciate you as a content creator. Thank you from the bottom of my heart man
Happy to enjoy your content. And its nice to see a content creator who is both enjoying where they are and appreciating it. Question though. For those of us who can't support the guide right now is there going to be somewhere to pick it up at a later date?
I’m always here if you need to talk
𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
WE DO CARE!!!!! Thanks you for making my DnD journey not feel like I'm too late to start, for the friends I've made because of the game, for the joy it has brought my children. I can't wait to share Ryoko's with them!!!
You've been a breath of fresh air when the days seem longer than they need to be. Thank you for doing what you do and making an effort to make great content. Seriously thinking about making content of my own.
You are so very very welcome. Weird things you can do in D&D is one of the things that has gotten me through the last few years, and I'm giddy with excitement to get my hands on Ryoko's guide. I splurged for my birthday and got the deluxe box and the dragon, and I genuinely look forward to getting my mitts on them.
im struggling myself with school, family, and mental illnesses, but i want to make something cool that people can play for dnd and i've always been worried about how well it would turn out or if people would even buy the thing im making, but this was kinda inspiring. I love dnd shorts its great and amazing so thank you
One of the things I love about you and your channel is how natural you are in your videos, you just come across as a geek having fun with something they love. Now I can add your humility to reasons I love watching you. I wish I could afford to support you through patreon or through your Kickstarter, since I can't I will just keep watching you
Dude youre one of the funniest, nicest, most creative and informative D&d channels ever. You are not only talented but also hard working and you absolutely improved my tabletop sessions with your content. I'm incredibly happy your hard work is paying so well, guys like you deserve it 100%. All the best to you brother!
You are one of the few channels where the person on screen is the best part. Like, this same script wouldn’t be half as good with any other host. We love you man, you’re a cool guy and super fun.
Also saw you in dnd horror stories, that was super cool man
I'm amazed by the how humble you are, during last year my involvement in dnd had dropped substantially and 4 youtube channels gave me the magic i couldnt participate in, you sit at the top of that list. The energy and effort you put in and your genuine love for your videos really do show, you kept dnd alive for me and now once again im ready and able to play again regularly and i would've drifted away from dnd without you, the dungeon dudes monekydm and ginny d (not in any ranked order) im excited for Ryoko's guide and can't wait to see it implemented into my games my group already plan to use the book in our game. Thank you! ❤
My german DND-Group and I, we love and appreciate your content! You are a great human being. You helped a few of us get through tough times and made us smile and wonder! Thanks a lot man!
I care. I love listening to your insane builds and fun facts about D&D, and I gotta same you have given THE ABSOLUTE BEST ways to show off sponsors. I never skip over your “commercials” in your videos. Can’t wait to get Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms
This is 100% legitimate. Rational people feel guilty about success, they often feel like they didn't earn it or deserve it. The fact that you were such a major rallying point for the DnD community says a lot about how much you care about this game we all love. You deserve every bit of success you have and have earned everything you have.
This is how it feels to be a successful writer! It really is impossible to provide the thanks that you feel should be given, but you did far better than I ever have! We appreciate you man!
It is so confusing why you and other content creators don't get that it is so exciting a good feeling to see creators, their work, this medium we love, see success. SAY IT LOUDER! We are celebrating with you!
Shorts said "We" a lot during this video, which makes me feel two ways. 1: it's really heartwarming to know he sees the channel as a link to the community at large and feels comfortable to talk about those things in a public way. I've been supporting him on Patreon for like a year, and I've never seen a creator put as much time and effort into everything that he does
On the opposite side: dude! This is an achievement for you! You're totally allowed to be proud or cheer or whatever man! I'm happy that you don't bog it down with platitudes, but also, take pride in your successes!
That was kind of a long one, hope the point came across
You greatly inspire me to write and create new things. I don't work with D&D, but you're a reference of "how to make good, fun, quality content"
THANK YOU for each and every thing!
No, thank you! Your content is AWESOME and your passion about doing this shines through. It is so infectious that one can't help but want to watch and support more.
Thank you.
it is great to see a content creator that takes the time to truly show their gratitude. So many people tend to forget that their customer puts them where they are. So as a consumer of your content it is great to see that you understand the relationship between content creator and customer.
I always thought you make stuff about one of by hobbys in a very entertaning way. I love it. I need to apologize that I never thought you might do this not only because it is your hobby but you do this for a living. I mean this as a compliment! You look like you have as much fun as your viewers have. Keep it this way!
"Goal of $20,000. We hit 1.2mil"
HOLY CRAP! That's awesome, the community can see that you've made quality stuff that you care about.
This way of expressing gratefulness, not even this, but the genuity on your voice and expression is a plus that makes viewing your videos even enjoyable, and to be honest, i'd laugh at it and share it with my friends even if you had only 100 subscribers, i'd definitely be one of them, cheers mate, the community is big and even if it doesn't look like, we are here enjoying the content you work so hard on creating for us!
Bro you are Hella funny and I’m filled with uproarious laughter every time I get the opportunity to see your shorts; you do fantastic work and I’m excited for your success my guy
