That dungeon master has a glorious future at Electronic Arts.
We can’t start selling Loot Tables like they are Pack Pulls!
Oh, man
I came gere to comment just that huasahuasasahusa
Man, imagine this. As the DM if you had conducted a good experience, and impressed your patrons, your reputation would grow and you'd be able to host more sessions for new players and therefore make more money potentially. Don't ruin the experience for all to indulge the self.
Yeah, he is thinking too short term, if he got a lot of people who liked his experience, he could get more groups and even charge a bit more per person. Instead this guy goes for the quick payout and losses it all!
That dm was Greedier than a goddamn Eastern European politician
I extort snacks from my players. Not for better stuff but I do add things faster with snacks in hand. They pay for speed over quality.
Somebody get this man a ribeye steak 🥩! 😀
@@keithomilak3693 Okay, I have now designed a ring of pimp slap: Allows advantage on unarmed strikes to knock opponents prone, quivering steel knives: deals double damage to golems, and the wine skin of infinite kool-aid (Berry cool flavor): This protects from the effects of heat but not fire and lasts four hours.
That pretty shitti of you. "Provide me ding dongs or I do math slow" your players wait a long time between sessions for you to do this garbage
Any transaction above 5 dollars should be called a macro transaction
I agree with that, they say “micro transactions” on $25 items, that’s just straight up full price DLC
@@lootgoblinmarketplace they'd be put on a stake if they would dare to call a single non gameplay altering item a dlc 💀
I honestly thought the DM was going to microtransaction homebrew add-ons, not a pay-to-win.
This is the only D&D story channel where I can tolerate 100% of the video every time.
Thank you, I try my best not to drag the video out. I love sharing these stories with people
So... They're playing him to DM... but that isn't enough? Don't do microtransactions, (I'm not saying what he did was right) but if he wanted money that desperately he should charge more per session...
Yeah that would be the real answer if he felt like he wasn’t making enough
Microtransactions shouldn't be in a DND campaign. I don't mind paid DMs myself but if everything gets locked behind a paywall its stupid.
So you understand the modern state of videogames.
@@dwaynejackson551 yep!
Greed just feels so unnecessary most of the time anyway.
For the past 2 years, the local game store has had a DnD game once a week for $5 for three hours, first come first serve. If the main group fills up (8 people), there is a back-up game for everyone else. The main game is almost always full, and after a awhile some people show up just for the side-game in and of itself (different DMs switching off different weekly campaigns). Most of us also buy a few dollars worth of snacks. To be fair, I'm not sure how much they profit from this directly, but they have developed a regular customer base.
Another good video from you.
Thank you 😊
How dare they make dnd pay to win
Yeah, I did not expect pay to win to become a thing in D&D, but I guess it’s just all over gaming culture now
Hey dont judge its a good business model.
@@RicoTonetti🤢
@@einholzstuhl252 what? It is. If it wasnt then it wouldn’t be done to death. Its not up for debate. Its a fact that it is a good model
@@RicoTonetti No it goddamn isn't, it's not sustainable and creates long-term bad will for short-term profit. It reduces the pool of people enjoying the game to a comparatively small pool of whales, and at the end of the day they're going to move onto the next source of immediate pleasure for pay.
paid DMs? what
Payed to win. Hhahahahahaha
I can aways find another dm
Definitely worth bailing for a new DM the moment you see this!
Baoh im a newbie, but i would rather dm myself then pay 20$ + micro transactions
My brother and I got started by making guesses based on stuff we didnt actually understand (we were like 12 and 10 lmao) in our Dad's old 2e and 3.5e books... I'm 23 now, I STILL don't understand THAC0. But I'd still take those nonsense sessions over paying a dm
My dnd server pays for sessions online because it’s or DMs only way of making money, she also allows alternative payment for those who can do art or make maps for Foundry
Other than that, she does most of the work by herself making encounters and a majority of the maps for 8 campaigns a week
Why would you even pay for a DM to begin with?
Activision is hiring
No kidding, he’s perfect for the job 😂
Hey Loot Goblin, do you have an opinion on Pathfinder 2nd Edition? I'm about to learn it myself so I'm in need of opinions.
It’s been my go too lately because of the 3 action turn. It makes everything a lot smoother because you don’t have to think about swift actions, move actions, and standard actions. It more times than not offers more flexibility.
@@lootgoblinmarketplace Cool. Do you have any tips or video guides I can use to learn the system better other than reading the rulebook? I loved Jocat's Crap Guide To DND because it helped me learn DND 5E through short videos and funny jokes in those short videos
did he work at ea
It's OK to pay up front but nickel and dime each session, no.
I don't like paid Dungeon Masters. Sure, it's a lot of work, but if you're not doing it for the enjoyment of the game, then you need to find another place to "hustle". If a group wants to play, one of the players needs to step up and DM.
If I get to the point to where I want to pay to have fun adventures in a fantastical world of swords and sorcery with friends, I'll fire up BG3 or FFXIV. Fuck paid DM's, fuck the greed ruining gaming, and fuck the very concept of capitalism itself because its entire purpose is to monetize the things that make life worth living and to change every interaction into a financial transaction.
You shouldn't equate paid games with the Adventurers' League. The "official " paid DMs there run fan-made modules that don't really go through a screening process and are usually boring, unbalanced, or just plain nonsensical. Furthermore, anyone can be a DM there, including people that have no business being behind a DM screen like the guy in this story. A lot of paid games are really good, and you can be sure that it won't fill up with people that don't take the game seriously or be left on the message board it was posted to despite being filled. You can also usually be sure that independent paid DMs can be held to a higher standard since they're not just running games as a favor to you; you're also their customer.
First! 😊
Glad to have you here!
