As someone who runs a D&D game for kids through online, this video speaks to my soul XD
Tell me about it 😂
Why aren't you running games on a platform?
@PrimePal discord is still online. As someone who played on discord, all these issues still happen.
@@NicholeParker Yea i use discord and theres still issues with mic audio and people cutting out. But we manage! 😁
@@NicholeParker except for dice roll lying, if you use discord you can have a bot for it, like we do.
And this is why we have a dice bot in our server
Bruh, dice bots HATE me 😂😂
@@OneShotQuesters probably a good thing for a gm
@@OneShotQuesters I honestly can't tell the difference. I never roll above 12 anyway
@@OneShotQuesters Once had a for fun 1v1 against an NPC(think like a mock fight).... Four Nat 1s in a row(two for me and two for the NPC)
Yeah this shit happens all the time. Our dm will go silent on discord and then 4 minutes later he comes back in and is like "did any of you hear that?" And we'd say no and he'd just go "God damn it!"
That is a mood right there
Same but with a player. He mutes himself because there's always noise in his house. But he always forgets that he's muted
I used Discord once on a call and I can strongly suggest never using Discord for calls.
@@THEPELADOMASTER maybe he should switch to push to speak? Harder to forget.
@@Katerina-kqkq lol it's so funny, someone else in another comment said the same thing
Yeah you'd think that would help, but he already does use push to talk. And yet he forgets he's muted. He might be beyond help at this point
Trying to play D&D online is either convenient and well used, or pure pain. The pain of connection issues, players not paying attention, etc.
One person I play with will scroll through instgram whenever his character isn't involved. He says that it makes it more realistic since he won't be able to metagame.
@@Crispybacon7734 I have someone who uses the same excuse, it's a middle finger to everyone present. Sure, you can't Meta, but it also lets me know that you really don't care about what your friends are doing at the moment
I try to pay attention. The only issue is that doing that will make me risk falling asleep, so I try to look at some other things while listening to what the other players are saying.
So, just playing with a group at all?
@@commandercaptain4664 I've had mostly good experiences, So my view is probably biased. D&D is fine, in a good group. But it can be downright awful in a bad one.
The DM is still gonna suffer in every video...
This is facts
Yeah.... I'm starting to think twice about taking over DMing....
@@christineherrmann205 its fun but very challenging, can be like a full time job sometimes.
We’ve been playing online since the pandemic hit and honestly its been going well, we just finished TOA and may start Rime of the Frostmaiden soon! The only real issues we seem to have is people showing up on time and connection issues
We also switched to online when the pandemic hit and we honestly get to play more dnd now which has been awesome.
@@dungeonslug5244 Honestly thats the ironic part of this pandemic for us D&D players. Being forced to play online means its easier for people to show up now that they don’t all have to congregate to one place to play XD
@@Leif47 That's a problem for our table as some people are getting TOO comfortable and they start getting up to cook something and we hear them baning in their kitchen, or they start eating loud or crunchy foods or slurping drinks u muted. And then despite being at their home they bail at the same time they wood in person to say they need to head to sleep.
Which is normally innocuous in person due to travel, but it's always 30 minutes before the game ends and when it's online it's clear they have no travel time making the early leave necessary.
This is all a single person.
Wait people show up for you?
@@Blitzwaffen Maybe, I dunno, ban that player?
Our online sessions actually have been going pretty well so far. Sure, there's some people talking over each other at times, but with Covid and our group being a few cities apart it's been going okay. (we're also a pretty honest group, there haven't really been any super-suspicious rolls so far).
The wonderful power of technology 🥰
I play internationally, and it's surprisingly a lot easier to find people to play with when you have a world internet-connected world to pick from.
The only thing that gets between things now is occasional mental health days and too much work load, but that's like a "we gotta cancel bc there's really no other way" type thing. I always let my players know that if they need a mental health break, just take it, whether you tell me 10 days ahead or 10 hours. Thankfully, they allow the same for me (even though I still feel like a dickhead cancelling a game for anything lol).
How do you fumble a roll online? Do you not use a dice roller that everyone can see?
@@THEPELADOMASTER everyone rolls with their actual dice, but we're just all honest about it (or at least I am)
@@dawnfyre3337 I mean I just do it online out of convenience. Having a program where you click the weapon or ability and it just rolls the dice and adds everything up is just faster and easier. And it has the plus of being public and not being able to cheat. Not that I don't trust my group, I do. But with this I don't have to rely on trust.
Are you saying that you don’t normally role multiple nat 20s in a row and max damage?
I always do that 🎲🎲
It’s crazy how the chances of rolling these have gone up by 30%
I too roll multiple Nat 20s and full damage.
You didn't hear the dice roll because i rolled it in my mind
I remember rolling 3 critical failures in a row (3% chance) in another RPG so... seems possible to roll two nat 20s and get max damage ^^
My friend: rolls two Nat 20s on Roll20
Me: So it CAN happen
Me: rolls two Nat 1s on Roll20
Me: Just not to me 😌
I hope someday a local pub sponsors OSQ, so he can make a Bar-Ad-Barian pun
Yesssssss!
I have playd a one shot before over discord. I was tempted to fudge the roles after rolling a nat 1 5 times in a row trying to use a bow. To hit a none moving target
Got to play it how it lands 😂
@@OneShotQuesters I eventually land a hit....on my temate XD
@@G_foxy at least you didn't kill yourself, like our ranger.
Got down to 1hp. Rolls to attack. Nat 1. We play with crit fumble table. Rolls d100. He somehow shot a pillar, the arrow bounced back and shot himself.
He downed himself.
@@THEPELADOMASTER I was at 4 hp during that moment tho >w< it wasent moving but it hurt like heck when it took a swing
I feel your pain. My character decided to use throwing knives for the first time in the campaign, nat 1, nat 2, nat 1, nat 4, nat 3.
I then looked the enemy in the eye, dropped the rest of my throwing knives on the ground, and walked away with a new flaw on my character sheet.
*Oh no, it can't be, The Adbarian!!! Run, everybody RUN!!! Before he get's into your head!!*
He’s already infiltrated…
God, we have a player that always forgets that he's muted (he mutes himself because there's always noise in his house). It's his turn or whatever and it's just silence... We tell him it's his turn... Then he unmutes "god damn it, I was muted"
Dude if you constantly mute yourself then that's the first thing you should check every time you go to speak!
If it's a possibility for them, I'd highly recommend using some sort of push-to-talk. It's been the best way for me to deal with background noise personally, it's easier to remember to hold down a button than it is to keep switching between muting and unmuting, for me at least.
@@Pancakeli He uses push to talk.
The problem is he's an idiot and forgets that he's muted and doesn't push the button to talk.
I was wondering what would happen if instead of fudging your rolls high you instead fudged them low instead. Basically you do a Whil Wheaton every game
I do that all the time. If I have advantage, my second roll is "always" a nat 1.
Why? Because I have one die I like to roll (and the other ones are weighted towards a 18 anyways because they are cheap) and don't want to take the time to roll it twice, so I just stick with my initial roll no matter what it was.
Oh yeah I remember that show and when is the show coming back
It is unfortunate that this is how we’ve been playing all this time, but it’s certainly a better alternative to getting hit by the ol “ray of sickness” if you know what I mean.
Playing DND online without Roll20? The madlads!!!
Look up Foundry VTT, you'd be positively surprised :)
My current group lives across multiple states, so we use Tabletop Simulator. It actually works out well enough that I think my current campaign is the best one I've been a part of so far.
@@jacobmfamexo Honestly, I think that Foundry VTT just can't compare, it has a dynamic map, actual animations, torches which actually burn & produce light, dynamic lighting.
It's the way to take your game to the next level. As well as super simple to use.
But, Tabletop VR, that, would be awesome :3
I don't remember ordering vicious mockery for dinner tonight
_cries in a corner_
I actually love playing online dnd.... but i also play without Dice, we use Beyond 20 for the rolls :D
We do too lol
Beyond 20 is absolutely fantastic
Wow this one is too true… been playing for a year online and I have experienced every single one of these things.. EXCEPT!! I think you forgot about the player who REFUSES TO TURN ON THEIR CAMERA!!
we never played with camera and it's just fine :)
WE DONT NEED CAMERAS WHERE WERE GOING
To be fair, I'm one of those because having my camera on makes my comp crunch bad
people who fake their dice rolls ruin the game for there own gain they are awful
Worst game I ever played in, someone constantly was rolling 18 or higher. Then I heard the number call out before the dice stopped rolling. It was not a fun sessions 😂
People! Just get a dice bot ffs, this is the one shitty thing about online DnD that's fixable.
@@generatoralignmentdevalue you do know people can do it in real life, right? If the dm is trusting enough they will just roll (no pun intended) with whatever the players say they rolled
Believe it or not, I did roll a nat 20 max damage. But I had advantage I was not so lucky otherwise.
There is a way in discord to roll a dice, so you can evade cheaters
players disconnecting is my biggest problem thanks for reminding me.
Mine is my internet just SUCKS 😂
As someone who only plays online d&d, I spend my days by my window, yearning for good Wi-Fi and wondering when my player who had to grab a charger 40 mins ago will come back
Oh the charger but 😂
“Am I water bending, or am I 70% water?”
Moving your body is as close as most people get to blood-bending.
I don't care if it's like this lol I just want to find a group to play even if it's online.
Check out our discord link in the description!
And while it's funny to look at all the bad stuff that can happen, I think it's a great way to enjoy the game. I've done a good bit of both, with a lot more time online. I started playing and dm'ing in online groups well before the backstreet boys reunion tour hit, and the biggest thing is finding the right group for it. Just like with in-person games, if you're in a group that doesn't mesh well, you'll have a terrible time, but if you're in a good group, it's an excellent time.
Check out fantasy grounds or roll20's looking far a group page.
@@matan8074 I'm 15 lol nobody's gonna want to group with me
@@evinrodgers6729 or are groups specifically for teens or groups for new players can often accept younger ones.
Love seeing this on live streams 🤣🤣
Ahahahahaha……..no 🤣
And the BBEG is……. H……. (Disconnected)
wait... you're saying I am NOT the only one with those f*** online problems?!?!?! 😂🙈❤️🤗
Have you seen our live D&D sessions? 😂
@@OneShotQuesters now I know I should! 😊👍
Woah, so many memories from my first ever dnd campaign, it was online. Ok, maybe not so many, we did like one session and after that everyone kept cancelling half an hour after the selected hour, so I guess it's kind of like a real dnd campaign...
Couple of relevant house rules I like to use as someone who’s been playing online since before the pandemic:
-Mics stay on unless you have excessive background noise or someone walks in
-Cameras are optional
-Only the DM uses his own dice, everyone else rolls openly on Roll20, Discord, or Foundry. You can whisper roll to the DM if you feel it’s important
-No drawing on the maps (this is the only one I can never enforce, why is there no way to revoke drawing privileges Roll20???)
-The DM spent time preparing, so the least you can do is engage; give feedback if you’re not enjoying the games
And this is why we roll on a virtual tabletop or with dice cam :D
Weird, my mates and I had no issues... outside of time...
Sorry I can’t make it, I have to go to “insert event here that should have been predictable” and I didn’t know it was going to be right now
Weirdly, we don't even have that issue. We usually play on tuesdays, and whenever someone has an event, that week we play on fridays.
I guess everyone understands that the game is also an event in your week, like going to the gym or practicing an instrument or whatever other activities.
@@THEPELADOMASTER I wish it was like that in my group
@@lolzyay2417 yeah after seeing others experience I gotta say I'm pretty lucky with my group
I found your channel like... yesterday... and have watched every single skit and tiktok compilation lmao
I cannot express how relatable this is to me over the last year! Brilliant video, loved it!
"Or I could be in a mimic INSIDE of a mimic!"
*muffled screaming*
I can't wait to start holding sessions in person again 😭
Ive been playing online for years, the mute thing still happens in our group. We just forget we're muted because we're eating, sneezing, or taking a break and forget to unmute.
Our group has a running joke that whenever I was describing a particularly dramatic or emotional scene, my voice would get garbled and impossible to understand. Screw you Skype, I don't miss you.
One player always has discord issues when we play. Like, it never happens at any other time. Only when we play.
By doing DnD at discord, you can end up being moved for no reason to other vc with just you and the dm and make the rest of the party have a heart attack
Actually when I first started DND it was over discord, the problems that we had were sometimes peeps showing up late or never showing up at all and thats kinda it, me myself i haven't cheated with the dice but idk about the other players but i trust they didn't, i also miss DND it's been a long while since I played it
I started playing D&D during the pandemic, so online is the only kind of play that I know... 😅 It's mostly fine, except for the occasional connection problem and sometimes the delay can make roleplaying awkward. However! We are finally going to play face to face for the first time in just about 3 weeks! I can't wait! ❤
LOVE UR VIDEOS
BUT I LOVE YOU!!
I met my current party through an internet game and we are nearing our 1 year it's been a blast and I love em so much
As funny as this is I do have to say I’ve been playing with a group on discord for over a year now and we’ve have relatively few issues. We’re actually about to have our first in person session and I’m super excited! I guess the group you have is a big factor as well.
Flashbacks to my online DND sessions....
*Vietnam Flashbacks*
As someone who ran two campaigns via zoom, this is accurate, including the WiFi trick lol!
With my group, like, nobody talks when we're online. Just did my first in person dnd session this week, and it was great, so I'm looking forward to others.
Honesty I can see this for many people's online games with random people. I play with a group of close friends and we just figured out a system that works so we don't have many of these issues. Discord tho can be frustrating at times, the music bots also are a pain.
I'm glad for my sessions online xD I had problems with a flickering camera the last two times, but it's fixed now, and sometimes one of my players disconnects for a second, but we've never had anything too bad 🤧
As someone who is nearing the end of an almost-year-and-a-half campaign online, and has done many other campaigns online, OH BOY HOW ACCURATE MUCH OF THIS IS
As someone who does this all the time, and has to record it, this is totally totally true. I love this so much!
The muted bit hit home hard. I've got one guy I play with (as a player amd as his GM) who regularly gets caught completely forgetting he's muted.
played D&D online once and I can relate 100% to this
Nice sponsor transition
Thank you!
That's why I'm trying to get my groups back in person soon.
As someone who’s only ever played online (my group is spread over 4 timezones) this is especially funny. At one point the dm literally had to ban physical dice so he could see our rolls
I'm DMing online and I told everyone that they can roll physical dice if they want to have a camera pointing at them. My warlock rolled stats this way and got an 18 for his charisma.
Nailed it! In person is definitely better. Plus you can actually have more then one conversation going on at the same time.
I play multiple games with different groups online and have been since the pandemic began, and you honestly hit the nail pretty good on the head. The only things you missed were: 1: mic courtesy - someone will INEVITABLY be talking to their roommate, taking their dogs out, or eating chips or something, so everyone has to yell over them. The rest is pretty accurate - and 2: discord off-topic meme sharing during the game whenever the DM describes a situation or monster. Also how roll20 dice like to roll nothing above a 4 for the players. ¬¬
I was in literally exact the same group one time. Thats too scary xD
And Adbarian is killing it all the time!
This was very funny. You should be very proud of your performance.
That ad-barian is amazing
My whole quarantine and last Summer was literally just this.
I feel that all. Especially the end with the one distracted player, that ends up being the worst.
This video makes me glad I can play with my friends in person.
Everything except the dice rolling and messed up camera is exactly how it went with my practice sessions on Roll20 with my players.
Gods of D&D bless you for brightening up our days.
I've only ever done D&D online, and yes, this is exactly how it is, just add the random distractions that get the DM sidetracked and you have my sessions down perfectly
This video hits me so much.
I hear about these kinds of issues ALL THE TIME and how so many people refused to try online play (or did but bitched about it for a year) during this pandemic because of these exact problems. The thing though, is that I've been playing in an intercontinental online group for over 6 years now and NONE of these things are issues....
I mean yeah sometimes someone is on mute, and every so often someone's internet kicks out, these things certainly happen, but it's not like playing in person doesn't result in similar issues, like someone gets a phonecall and steps out, or just plays on their phone in general, or you're plagued by side conversations, etc.
There are "problems" no matter how you play, we're all human afterall, but honestly after playing in an online group from vastly different time zones for quite a while without any of the issues that became main bitching points during this pandemic I really just believe these really only become problems when the people causing them simply aren't really trying to avoid/handle them. If your group actually cares about playing, for real, in an online setting almost every single one of the main issues can be avoided by simply caring enough about your game.
Now someone who reads this might be thinking "you just implied that I don't care enough about my session because of some internet problems I had!" The answer is yes, if you continuously have internet problems to warrant crying about it as a reason to not play online then you can get better fucking internet. If it's not continuous, then stfu and deal with it when it happens.
This is actually how I always play all the time, bc my main dnd Champaign was online :)
I am so happy my players (especially one *AHEM*) roll their dice on FoundryVTT, this way I can check their rolls.
As someone who has only had the opportunity to run online... and only recently had an opportunity to run irl... this speaks to me on a whole other level
Having done a lot of online and in-person play, they each have their own pros and cons and I'd never give up on either. You could come up with a list of "problems" just as big for either, but those problems don't matter because we love dnd enough to work through those problems. If your group isn't willing to do that with you, find a different one, it's tough but super possible.
The rolling the dice part and not being seen is such a power move that I hate it because it's happened to me
I actually got two nat 20's on disadvantage playing online (I got 3 20's in a row). I was the one having the hardest time believing it.
As someone who only recently started playing dnd and doesn't have a group to play with irl, I feel this SO HARD
And the best part of online D&D:
They even ported over the scheduling issues so you can have them *online*
This gave me flashbacks to playing tabletop with my BF online when he lived in another country.
We only really started playing when the pandemic hit. Always wanted to but the friends who were interested live several hundred km away. Then a VTT ad popped up on my instagram and I could kick myself for never having thought of playing online.
Fortunately we're all MMO gamers so internet is good, voice chat fine with good mics and decent webcams.
Can't wait to play face to face one day though
Minus the dice rolling, this is my group
Ad-Barian is 70% water, 30% angry water
I'm currently running a campaign online through discord. Have to do it online because one player is in Egypt and another is in Hungary while the others are scattered throughout the U.S. It's going well though. Having lots of fun.
As someone who only plays D&D online this hits home really hard XD
Ad-Barian made my day again
And this is why I just taught my roommate how to play and DM so we did single player campaigns. No lag when you're in the same room.
I have personally only ever played online
Edit: Also we use virtual dice so everybody can see it but even if we were to play actual dice I trust my fellow party members
So true
This video is sooo accurate to how it is doing it online! I’ll be the guy who’s internet always sucks when doing it:)
Literally every session during my friend’s hombrew campaign on Discord:
My friend: “Who’s causing an echo in the voice channel?”
Me: “Sorry my bad.”
At the beginning of lockdown we tried to play dnd and it was just- confusion, miscommunication and awkward silences.
I play DnD online actually, started a few months ago, started online. Our sets are in Tabletop Sim, character sheets on DnD Beyond, we use to dice roll in TTS but it broke so my one friend decided to make a dice rolling bot for our discord so that's what we use now.
Heh. In our case - hooray - our D&D group is honest on dice. I think the willingness to cheat on dice rolls depends a lot on the players and their attitude toward the game - if they have a "gotta win" mindset, I think the temptation is probably higher than those with a "let's see what happens" mindset. In our case, in person or online, our group pins down that bell curve. We have one player that rolls stupidly well very consistently, one that rolls well consistently, but occasionally is lower on the curve (my Hubs), one who rolls high and low and not much in the middle (that's me), one who rolls consistently middle with only occasional high/low, one that rolls middle to low with occasional highs, and one that basically channels Wil Wheaton. The REALLY funny thing is that when the player who rolls the worst pinch hits playing the character for the player who rolls best, she rolls amazingly well. It's like that character has some kind of dice karma.
But the internet thing...yeah. That's annoying.
Me too my friends online.
Me (DM): alright so what is your character
Friend: it’s a secret.
Me:… I’M THE DM!
Adbarian: I just became a planeswalker thanks to our sponsors at Planeshift. All you have to do is support the kickstarter and a team of trauma agents will do whatever it takes to ignite your spark. Including shoving you in a mimic for that perfect fear factor.
I just started running a session of Fantasy grounds for my group, we had hella technical difficulties this last game XD but at least I make all dice rolls visible in chat, not in chat, not in game lol
For those curious how online only players roll dice, dnd beyond shares the rolls with the whole party and the dice use a physics engine, so its actual rolls vs a random number generator ;)
This is incredibly accurate
That. Was. Awesome.
The whole truth. I have never been a fan of pnp rpg online. maybe I'm old but the joy of playing it live
We all lice really far apart and some of us board, and we couldn't deal with any more zoom calls, so we just do it over the phone. It's not ideal, but after a year we are used to it, and use things like online dice platforms and source book sharing
The part where he got up with his headphones still in does hit different
I run two campaigns online and this is exactly what it's like
