Sometimes roleplaying is way more fun than power gaming. I played a paladin who was convinced our halfling rogue was actually a child, so he always went out of his way to protect her (despite her being probably the best character lol). It was so fun riffing that game
Watching this reminded me that my druid should actually have a higher strength Stat instead of me using it as a dumpstat because he's a chef and chefs use a d lift heavy objects a lot...somethings gonna have to take a couple of points tho....
This felt like an obvious decision given the context.... even if I couldn't heal them and we weren't facing a tpk I would ready an action or roll medicine or anything... not deal the final blow on another players main antagonist.

I didn't realize how good it was until you pointed it out. I always immediately read it as the gigachad face, but never really thought about what it takes for a man to make it.
I unironically love that if in each scene the Chad is playing the same character then he’s got a prepared caster/paladin/rogue multiclass with lightning bolt and is also reminiscent of Kratos. That character is honestly *the* Chad character.

In my opinion lightning bolt can often be much better when in close quarters combat so that you don’t hit your party members. Also more enemies resist fire than lightning
@@cupcakewithatophat1131if you watch Dimension 20, Emily Axford plays a storm sorcerer / tempest cleric at one point during their season A Crown of Candy, and in one combat in particular she kills I'm pretty sure over 10 enemies with an upcasted lightning bolt, it's pretty glorious to watch lol
@@beadymore once per long rest to deal massive damage :( Lightning bolt is situational and deals the same damage as fireball, so it's quite hard to maximize its potential.
These gigachad videos have genuinely helped contextualize all the “how to be a good player” advice out there in such an entertaining way. I love that “help everyone else have fun” is always at the forefront too. Great work.
I know right? I have got to go back to card shops and done some DM stuff for groups. On occasion if someone is missing I have my regulars I play with all the time fill a spot and they tend to be mentioned NPCs and I have had a few players go "Wow... how do you do this so well?" and the simple answer is... we have played a 3 year long campaign. That is how they know what to do so well, their OC is fleshed out obscenely well because... that is just what happens.
I was playing a Naruto MMO and needed to find Jiraiya in the open world to unlock sage mode. I had a GM teleport me to Jiraiya and say "ill only do this once". I said "No thanks, ill earn my Sage Mode" and walked off, waited a few hours for Jiraiya to be in a different spot. Then I spent about 3-4 hours lookin for him cursing myself out for not accepting the Gms help. Then after finding Jiraiya, and obtaining sage mode I felt AMAZING that I did it without a handicap.
Given the title of the video, I expected Average ttRPG Enjoyer to answer, “Well I was also disappointed, but I already own 3 other RPGs with different systems to run Flying Laser Bathtub battles, so I could easily use those in a D&D game if I need to. That seems like a more healthy way to engage with this hobby than constantly complaining about WOTC’s products but still buying them.”
I'd love to run some FLB battles just to work out tactics. Sounds like a splish-splashin' good time. I better get some gorram rubber duck grenades though. Always bring grenades (and rope).
I know Jacob does each character in seperate takes but I'd like to imagine he pauses after each scene and swaps costume to the other character rushing to the other side of the table each time they swap and presses record again.
I love seeing when gigachad works with the other players to make the game the best it can be for them... but what about more interactions with the DM? I could see the experienced gigachad player playing in a newbie GM's campaign, and avoiding all the pitfalls of rule-lawyering, while still being able to teach the GM how it works.
My current Swordmage Volstrucker OC in our Exandria game specifically is themed around Lightning, and hated all the Wizard kids at the academy obsessed with Fireball. So that entire interaction made me die because that was literally him dealing with those fellow snobby students. "You should definitely learn Fireball instead hnnn." "No. Lightning fun." *Casts Chad Face*
I agree. Its awful that the book basically tells DM's to just skip to the boarding and run it like a normal combat. With Avernus and Saltmarsh, Wizards already had a good framework for ship combat. It shouldn't be up to the DM to homebrew core rule systems.
I think they only made it because they knew that WoTC zombies would buy it and leave the superior Starfinder on the shelf. Basically, the same game but one is good and doesn't use predatory business practices.
I've been into D&D on and off for about 4 years now, and I've played games but eventually evolved into the forever DM for my main friend group, however, it wasn't until early last year when I started running a D&D game for some Dive bar buddies (these guys haven't really touched D&D since 1-2nd edition) that I was actually genuinely thanked for running a session. It never really happened before and it gave me a huge feeling of validation. So please, remember to thank your DM, especially if they took the time to homebrew craft the very realm you play in! We really appreciate it!
Thanking your DM goes a long way. Once, one of my players told me they liked the music I played during the game, and that I did a good job choosing it. I rode that high for like a month.
Yeah, I had a location called the Mystic Mine, Which was the habitat of plane-touched creatures known as the Crystal Beasts. For those in the know: Yes, I made a dungeon out of Yu-Gi-Oh references. No, most of my players didn't get the references. Yes, they made it their new base of operations after the druid and the cleric had a jousting match on a pair of Psychic Snails to show the Amber Mammoths that they were stronger if together than alone. Players still bring it up every now and then.
Lightning bolt is actually a great alternative to fireball. DM's often dont group enemys up in groups because they know lots of casters run fireball. As a result, you'll be getting more multi hits from lighting bot than fireball. Also, your less likely to hit your own teammates with lightning bolt! Edit: forgot to mention Lightning damage is generally better than fire.
One of my casters realised that they didn't have a backup plan for combat in tight spaces. But the enemy had lightning bolt, Which turned out to be a little too effective. It was a learning experience for them.
This is so true. I switch to lightning bolt for this exact reason. I found I never ended up using fireball, because there's ALWAYS a fucking fighter or barbarian in the way.
The Lightning Bolt vs Fireball bit hits so hard. I consider myself an optimiser (maybe a little bit of a min maxer) but I always pick spells or abilities that fit my character best.
Yeah, from an optimal stance it is hard to justify Lightning Bolt which is a shame. Fireball should probably do less damage but whatever. I remember in the first Gigachad Player video I was "upset" over him blowing a Healing Word and taking the Help action instead of attacking. Yeah it's suboptimal but maybe that's the point.
As a DM that killed a character with lightning bolt, I can tell you that there's definitely situations where this stuff comes up. They were fighting in a crammed area where the players had underestimated just how much the lack of mobility hurt their tactics. As the enemy shot a lightingbolt at 2 of the characters who were perfectly lined up thanks to a lack of space for proper positioning. The Barbarian saved and tanked the damage, but the caster behind the barbarian got knocked out. Then the other caster said: "I wish I had considered taking a spell that doesn't nuke the whole party right now, but even my healing spell deals damage."
Here's a secret technique i've learned: build your character idea around the spells and abilites you wanna take so you can be optimal AND flavorful! Who said you can't do both?
@@momqabt being a decent person with morals is someone who isn’t doing anything bad. Being a nice person means going out of your way to ensure everyone is having a good time.
That last 10 seconds was SPICYYY!!! Also, I'm incredibly impressed by Jacob's ability to look and sound like two different people. Like if I didn't know better, and you told me these two characters were being played by two brothers, I might actually believe you.
@@tomfoolery7797 I think he has a point in so far as some people take 5e way too seriously when it really shouldn't be. at the same time, there is a genuine problem with WotC just going "fuckin'... IDK just homebrew it" when they should definitely add new subsystems to their settings books. Some people do overblow it for the sake of clout chasing, but that doesn't mean there aren't legit problems worth criticizing, so I understand what you mean.
Jacob hits the nail on the head here. It's incredibly sad what "fandom" has turned into over the years, at least on social media. It's just become a toxic cesspool of hate and trolling.
@@bigmikebeebee fandoms have always been that way. It’s just now it’s becoming more apparent in the D&D fandom because, well, it’s grown so much over the past few years.
People who don't thank their DMs at the end of every session are probably the same people who put grocery store products back on a random shelf when they don't want to buy it anymore
I get the reaction but let's not forget that some folks, especially in the ttrpg space, struggle with social anxiety. Expressing thanks makes you vulnerable, if you do it at the wrong time you sometimes get chastised for it. Just remember that sometimes people really want to say thanks but aren't sure when it is appropriate and get deep in their own heads about it. Something like the above can really make someone feel like trash for their insecurities. I know that wasn't your goal or anything.
@@DampeS8N i know you probably mean well but i have to inform you that this is an insane response and that saying thank you when you feel grateful is always, all of the time, a good thing
@@DampeS8N I have social anxiety myself, but I never ever heard or even thought that someone would chastise me for saying "thanks". I sometimes don't know when to say it, but that doesn't stop me from saying it because I've literally never created a weird situation like that and actually, saying "thanks" always makes me feel better afterwards because I feel like I could get at least some appreciation across and maybe make the other person feel better about themselves.
Lightning bolt may hit less targets, but think of the aesthetics. Lightning looks cooler and is underrated. And if the DM is nice enough to line up a bunch of targets for you, it's real fun and satisfying to pop one off.
The realtalk in the end. Also: Thanks for the new "Chad-Jacob"-episode. Hopefully there are some more to come, really enjoying this new "cast-member" :D
In fairness being upset about spelljammer and actually being able to justify your feelings on the matter is more valid and useful than "but i liked it"
When I Play and DM D&D lately, I kinda turn into the D&D Player a bit. But when I play other TTRPGs I'm very in line with the TTRPG Chad... so needless to say I'm playing in a Cyberpunk Red campaign and in DMing a Star Wars 5e campaign atm. The D&D break has been well needed after Spell Jammer failed to deliver on Flying Laser Bathtub Rules.
@@loganshockey4041 Yeah, I know that feeling. I just bought Cyberpunk Red and have been showing it to all my friends in a not-so-subtle attempt to make them want to play. I think DnD causes the sort of mentality you see in the video because A) Its community is absolutely huge and thus it's easy to get absorbed into its polarized opinions and B) It's mostly a wargame and so it encourages people to choose the 'optimal choice' rather than the narratively appropriate choice. plus the fact that most people playing 5e have been playing only 5e for the past little while and have a bit of tunnel vision. Obviously, I have no harsh feelings toward 5e; it does what it does well, but I think we'd all benefit from playing a wider range of TTRPGs to gain a bit of perspective.
I am going to be playing 5e for the first time in years after ages of just OSR and Call of Cthulhu and stuff like that. Going in with a different vibe than when I first played it 😌
The other stuff was funny, but the thanks for running the game was pure wholesomeness. I don't need to hear it every time, but whenever I do hear it from players, it's what I live for. Edit: I take it back, the part about healing the other player so he can defeat his backstory monster is actually so cool. That's serious gigachad energy.
unsure how to feel about the pro "Wotc writing books telling you to make it up yourself" stance taken. I mean, I like making stuff up myself, thats what my party finds fun, but its not good for the game if people are paying to be told to do so I feel
that whole bit about making characters inspired by other media is great, i love taking a character from a media I love, putting them in D&D while putting my own twist on the character and seeing who can guess who i'm running that campaign
I ones was in this exact situation with lightning bolt. We were playing desert adventure, so i decided to pick lightning bolt instead of fire ball, because in my mind everything in desert probably gonna have fire resistance, and i also wasn't evocation wizard, so lightning bolt was easier to aim and not hit my friends. But my group still though that I'm bad wizard for that
This. If you're not evocation wizard then you have to worry about fireball hitting allies a lot more. Lightning bolt also just feels good to use like you're being tactical with positioning.
As a forever DM I love this video I want more content with our favorite player. Also I love the blooper reel. Please keep those in your future videos it was hilarious.
Okay but people ARE gonna want to use those flying laser bathtubs to fire lasers, and the book tells us "hey don't, just run normal combat, these lasers we've mounted to the bathtubs are just for display purposes" Whiny Nerd Character has a point, he's just being more emotional about it
I think his point is more fleshed out at the end where he points it more at influencers/content creators who just want to farm outrage for profit. The point could've been made a lot better, unless he is just targeting everyone criticising wotc in which case yeah hes literally a consOOOOmer
@@legopenguin9 Yeah, normally Jacob's pretty even-handed so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here, but yeah its comes off as a little consoomery
also there was another very bad and racist thing wrong with the book that he conspicuously didn’t mention and knowing that plus seeing Gigachad just go “I liked it” makes Gigachad look…uh, not great
@@brandongiles7240 If that were mentioned by the ranty player it’d look Jacob was making fun of the Hadozee situation. Also, while it’s clear he’s talking about Spelljammer, he’s made a silly version for the purpose of applying the video to any D&D release.
Not even to mention the fact that there are a number of very...questionable rules decisions. Changing the travel time while keeping the air envelope times is weird, making it so that your air envelope is instantly spoiled by contact with a lower grade one (regardless of size) is very bad (prior editions had it based on size of the objects), and the Giff for some reason can shoot a musket 8 times in 6 seconds as a high enough level fighter. And they didn't even give a cool lore reason why! Just made the feature and shrugged. I get that muskets are unfun when you're only blasting a single attack roll as a character with extra attacks, but why not just make them get some sort of bonus on the damage of that single attack roll for each extra attack instead? Or give them access to wheellocks or something. It just seems like Wizards is ticking boxes and phoning it in.
I’m running my first ever campaign this week and if someone says “thanks for running todays game I can tell you put a lot of work into it” to me the 10s of hours this week will be worth it.
These have definitely become some of my favourite skits. Also, I'm happy to say that several of my players fall into the Chad category! Also, many fall into the regular gamer category! I think many of us fall in a nice gray zone: many times just happy to play, and yet constantly scheming and metagaming for that next juicy item/level, heh!
Jesus. Minutes after posting my comment, I get a reply saying I've won something on fucking Telegram. Is it safe to say everyone already knows this is a scam?! Fucksakes.
Although I understand the feeling I'd recommend not presenting it as such. It can feel pretty bad when it feels someone is telling you "here is what you should do", especially because it can feel like "here, is what you should do for me", and in my experience this does little in improving self-awareness, I know I'd feel a bit awkward if one of my DM did that. Like, imagine how you would feel if they'd send you out of the blue the "Gigachad DM" video as a lesson to take ? Ever since I got kicked out of an online group I liked to play with, I watched tons of content about how to be a better player, and understood better the mistakes I made and how to correct them, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been as efficient if someone else had tried to make the effort for me.
As an experienced DM running a homebrew game for 6 players... good luck 😂 Okay, but to be serious, you'll love it when the energy starts flowing. But it's also chaos, and it can get tense. Make sure you're giving each player a moment to shine here and there. Most importantly, be patient. That goes for you and your players.
Skits like these make me love my dnd group that much more. I knew they were all Gigachads, but it’s a good reminder. No, but seriously I’ve only really played with one group who are all really nice. I didn’t even know there were players out there that end sessions without thanking the DM 😨
let's be honest now....the gigachad guy would be fun first couple times , but if he just does shit because it's cool every time , it would get really tiring , really fast. Especially in harder encounters
GigaJacob is his default state: he’s been making a face this whole time just for content, but finally gets to relax and be himself with this “character” 💚
I complain about spelljammer because i wait for it for a long time and it is unfinish... 😞 They even mention a spell in the story that is not in the guide .-. I love the theme and i will use all the content but i homebrew a lot to my and my players personal taste.
Love my D&D group so much. Thanks for sharing these, almost a whole group of DM/Player Chads and it is fantastic fun. Hardest part is making time as adults and parents but we get almost weekly!
Unironically, playing other TTRPG's besides D&D (it was my first) changed my whole perspective on how I play D&D. Even playing a couple sessions of Everyone is John had a crazy result on how I play.
Sometimes moving from one game to another can have a heterodyne effect... imagine playing Call of Cthulhu, then Paranoia, then D&D... and your first dungeon chamber has a mimic in it.
I'm very new to DND/TTRPG and these videos never fail to entertain as well as guide me to have good etiquette. They set an inspiring standard that I hope to achieve.
Everything hits home, except that I agree more with the non-chad about the lack of actual rules I can use from official D&D books, they are lackluster so I don't even bother, haven't bought a new WotC book since 2019. I probably wouldn't care if I had more time to homebrew.
While I understand that there are circles of people in the fandom that have over criticized the Spelljammer books, I don't think ignoring the complaints about it and pretending that the lack of ship to ship combat is in fact a problem, is some how a Chad move. I think what would have been the Chad move would have been to acknowledge that there are problems with the books but try to highlight some of the more positive aspects of them too. Then go into how that great thing about tabletop gaming is that we CAN homebrew "patches" to fix or fill in rules that don't work unlike in video games where the rules are hardwired into the experience. Over all I liked the video but that one skit just didn't sit right for me.
Yeah, like.. there are more circumspect and zen ways to respond to a poor product than toxic complaining, so that was a point that was begging to be made with that setup. But, just dismissing concerns and saying "well, I like it" isn't one of them. If anything, that's more like foisting the burden of critique and product quality off on everyone else, and that does not fit in with a gigachad.
You took a lot of interpretation from the response of "I liked it" from being asked what he thought about it. There isn't anything to suggest the gigachad character thinks the book is without issues. Saying you like the books when someone is complaining isn't ignoring criticism, and getting really annoyed at that part of the skit purely because of that projection is sorta the negative mob mentality behavior that was being made fun of. And to be clear, I understand the frustrations with the books and I understand that the skit probably felt like it was targeting your legitimate frustration, but I just don't believe the skit was doing what you say it was

In my opinion lightning bolt can often be much better when in close quarters combat so that you don’t hit your party members. Also more enemies resist fire than lightning
"they're lining up"
"Well they're excited"
Also: tempest cleric
Plus, imagine grabbing someone by the lapel and casting it. Fry them up real nice 😫👌
@@cupcakewithatophat1131if you watch Dimension 20, Emily Axford plays a storm sorcerer / tempest cleric at one point during their season A Crown of Candy, and in one combat in particular she kills I'm pretty sure over 10 enemies with an upcasted lightning bolt, it's pretty glorious to watch lol
@@beadymore once per long rest to deal massive damage :(
Lightning bolt is situational and deals the same damage as fireball, so it's quite hard to maximize its potential.
Every line the Gigachad says is delivered so perfectly that I keep skipping back to watch them over again.
These gigachad videos have genuinely helped contextualize all the “how to be a good player” advice out there in such an entertaining way. I love that “help everyone else have fun” is always at the forefront too. Great work.
"I'll earn that 20" is such a weird but legitimate flex
I can get 20 dex in next score improvement which sounds fun but I need wisdom
I know right? I have got to go back to card shops and done some DM stuff for groups. On occasion if someone is missing I have my regulars I play with all the time fill a spot and they tend to be mentioned NPCs and I have had a few players go "Wow... how do you do this so well?" and the simple answer is... we have played a 3 year long campaign. That is how they know what to do so well, their OC is fleshed out obscenely well because... that is just what happens.
I was playing a Naruto MMO and needed to find Jiraiya in the open world to unlock sage mode. I had a GM teleport me to Jiraiya and say "ill only do this once". I said "No thanks, ill earn my Sage Mode" and walked off, waited a few hours for Jiraiya to be in a different spot. Then I spent about 3-4 hours lookin for him cursing myself out for not accepting the Gms help. Then after finding Jiraiya, and obtaining sage mode I felt AMAZING that I did it without a handicap.

@@joeygawl4346 What was this in, out of curiosity?
“What did you think about the flying laser bathtubs in the new book?”
“I don’t take baths”
*music begins playing*
@XP_To_level3. this guy's a sus scammer probably, but as for the host comment, es funny
Given the title of the video, I expected Average ttRPG Enjoyer to answer, “Well I was also disappointed, but I already own 3 other RPGs with different systems to run Flying Laser Bathtub battles, so I could easily use those in a D&D game if I need to. That seems like a more healthy way to engage with this hobby than constantly complaining about WOTC’s products but still buying them.”
But that'd require Jacob to imply that actually playing other rpgs is a good idea, can't have that in my Christian dnd household
I'd love to run some FLB battles just to work out tactics. Sounds like a splish-splashin' good time. I better get some gorram rubber duck grenades though. Always bring grenades (and rope).
I know Jacob does each character in seperate takes but I'd like to imagine he pauses after each scene and swaps costume to the other character rushing to the other side of the table each time they swap and presses record again.
The flying laser bathtub lore is very complicated but interesting enough to easily get invested in.
I love seeing when gigachad works with the other players to make the game the best it can be for them... but what about more interactions with the DM? I could see the experienced gigachad player playing in a newbie GM's campaign, and avoiding all the pitfalls of rule-lawyering, while still being able to teach the GM how it works.

Can't get enough of the giga chad videos lmao
Seriously. Realistic Jacob is always a Chad
No editing.
The chad just does that
"Why didn't you just slay him and then heal?!"
CHAD: "It's what my character would have done."
My current Swordmage Volstrucker OC in our Exandria game specifically is themed around Lightning, and hated all the Wizard kids at the academy obsessed with Fireball.
So that entire interaction made me die because that was literally him dealing with those fellow snobby students.
"You should definitely learn Fireball instead hnnn."
"No. Lightning fun."
*Casts Chad Face*
Spell jammer was interesting, but in a book about space dnd with spaceships there definitely should have been more about space combat.
I agree. Its awful that the book basically tells DM's to just skip to the boarding and run it like a normal combat. With Avernus and Saltmarsh, Wizards already had a good framework for ship combat. It shouldn't be up to the DM to homebrew core rule systems.
@@NarhiFaunlha its a shame they couldn't put that info in a book even if its been in a book before
i’m sure this bit of the video really does open the conversation of what we should expect from from a developer and what is delivered.
the only real indepth part of spelljammer that i felt like was enough ( not read the campaign yet ) was the monsters amd the lore
I think they only made it because they knew that WoTC zombies would buy it and leave the superior Starfinder on the shelf. Basically, the same game but one is good and doesn't use predatory business practices.
I've been into D&D on and off for about 4 years now, and I've played games but eventually evolved into the forever DM for my main friend group, however, it wasn't until early last year when I started running a D&D game for some Dive bar buddies (these guys haven't really touched D&D since 1-2nd edition) that I was actually genuinely thanked for running a session. It never really happened before and it gave me a huge feeling of validation. So please, remember to thank your DM, especially if they took the time to homebrew craft the very realm you play in! We really appreciate it!
Welcome to the club I guess😅
I always am appreciative to my group's DM only he could come up with a campaign where we run a magic food truck in a dnd setting.
Pre 2015 ppl used to always thanks their GM that's the custom. It was lost with playing online (unless I already knew those players).
Thanking your DM goes a long way.
Once, one of my players told me they liked the music I played during the game, and that I did a good job choosing it.
I rode that high for like a month.
Yeah, I had a location called the Mystic Mine,
Which was the habitat of plane-touched creatures known as the Crystal Beasts.
For those in the know: Yes, I made a dungeon out of Yu-Gi-Oh references.
No, most of my players didn't get the references.
Yes, they made it their new base of operations after the druid and the cleric had a jousting match on a pair of Psychic Snails to show the Amber Mammoths that they were stronger if together than alone.
Players still bring it up every now and then.
that ending is the real gigachad moment, imagine making your dm feel like you care about the story they are making for you
"I think the progression through the game will be fun."
Me, nervously looking at the rogue and barbarian class features. 😅
I love this guy. Your acting is certainly improving. I always forget everyone in your video is not actually different people.
He's like youtube's peter sellers
Lightning bolt is actually a great alternative to fireball. DM's often dont group enemys up in groups because they know lots of casters run fireball. As a result, you'll be getting more multi hits from lighting bot than fireball. Also, your less likely to hit your own teammates with lightning bolt!
Edit: forgot to mention Lightning damage is generally better than fire.
One of my casters realised that they didn't have a backup plan for combat in tight spaces.
But the enemy had lightning bolt,
Which turned out to be a little too effective.
It was a learning experience for them.
The latter is exactly why I would take lightning bolt for some characters.
@@AkiAmeko having the ability to line up your shot more precisely is really nice.
Also it's Kurt's favorite. Win/Win
This is so true. I switch to lightning bolt for this exact reason. I found I never ended up using fireball, because there's ALWAYS a fucking fighter or barbarian in the way.
The Lightning Bolt vs Fireball bit hits so hard. I consider myself an optimiser (maybe a little bit of a min maxer) but I always pick spells or abilities that fit my character best.
It's silly too because there are many situations where you don't want to hit many targets like a fireball would
Yeah, from an optimal stance it is hard to justify Lightning Bolt which is a shame. Fireball should probably do less damage but whatever.
I remember in the first Gigachad Player video I was "upset" over him blowing a Healing Word and taking the Help action instead of attacking. Yeah it's suboptimal but maybe that's the point.
Isn't picking the right spells the minimum bar to be considered a min maxer?
As a DM that killed a character with lightning bolt,
I can tell you that there's definitely situations where this stuff comes up.
They were fighting in a crammed area where the players had underestimated just how much the lack of mobility hurt their tactics.
As the enemy shot a lightingbolt at 2 of the characters who were perfectly lined up thanks to a lack of space for proper positioning.
The Barbarian saved and tanked the damage, but the caster behind the barbarian got knocked out.
Then the other caster said: "I wish I had considered taking a spell that doesn't nuke the whole party right now, but even my healing spell deals damage."
Here's a secret technique i've learned: build your character idea around the spells and abilites you wanna take so you can be optimal AND flavorful! Who said you can't do both?
Gigachad has inspired me not only to be a better first-time DM, but a better player too. Thank you!
Jacob, I just wanted Spelljammer to have more tables for Wildspace systems and more customization options for making spelljammers.
Spaceship 😎
Honestly gigachad is such an amazing roll model, man... If we could all play like him he is such a CHAD.
Dude is a role model AND a roll model.

That last 10 seconds was SPICYYY!!!
Also, I'm incredibly impressed by Jacob's ability to look and sound like two different people.
Like if I didn't know better, and you told me these two characters were being played by two brothers, I might actually believe you.
That was definitely a take. Not sure if I agree with him on it but I can see where he's coming from.
@@tomfoolery7797 I think he has a point in so far as some people take 5e way too seriously when it really shouldn't be. at the same time, there is a genuine problem with WotC just going "fuckin'... IDK just homebrew it" when they should definitely add new subsystems to their settings books.
Some people do overblow it for the sake of clout chasing, but that doesn't mean there aren't legit problems worth criticizing, so I understand what you mean.
@@TheSonicShoe Yeah there are definitely two sides to this issue.
Jacob hits the nail on the head here. It's incredibly sad what "fandom" has turned into over the years, at least on social media. It's just become a toxic cesspool of hate and trolling.

"You took lightning bolt? BRUH" Is my now favorite xp to level 3 quote
Thanks for your videos, Jacob. I can tell you put a lot of work into them and it shows.
People who don't thank their DMs at the end of every session are probably the same people who put grocery store products back on a random shelf when they don't want to buy it anymore
I get the reaction but let's not forget that some folks, especially in the ttrpg space, struggle with social anxiety. Expressing thanks makes you vulnerable, if you do it at the wrong time you sometimes get chastised for it. Just remember that sometimes people really want to say thanks but aren't sure when it is appropriate and get deep in their own heads about it. Something like the above can really make someone feel like trash for their insecurities. I know that wasn't your goal or anything.
@@DampeS8N **music plays**
@@DampeS8N k. I have social anxiety too but I guess whatever.
@@DampeS8N i know you probably mean well but i have to inform you that this is an insane response and that saying thank you when you feel grateful is always, all of the time, a good thing
@@DampeS8N I have social anxiety myself, but I never ever heard or even thought that someone would chastise me for saying "thanks". I sometimes don't know when to say it, but that doesn't stop me from saying it because I've literally never created a weird situation like that and actually, saying "thanks" always makes me feel better afterwards because I feel like I could get at least some appreciation across and maybe make the other person feel better about themselves.
Chad D&D player is actually my favorite person ever. I would love more of this guy if you can find fun skits to write for him
Gotta say I'm loving the new Gigachad character. If he ever joined hands with the Fireball Wizard, the world ends.
This is easily your best series you make. I love how you convey so much good advice in a way that makes people laugh and pay attention
Jacob makes that face SO WELL, this is a good bit to keep going.
Giga Chad is by far too powerful of a being. And so likeable, which makes him more powerful. He can’t be stopped. But I trust him wholeheartedly
Lightning bolt may hit less targets, but think of the aesthetics. Lightning looks cooler and is underrated. And if the DM is nice enough to line up a bunch of targets for you, it's real fun and satisfying to pop one off.
Plus in any dungeoncrawling game, lightning bolt is crazy. Any long thin hallway can easily become a killzone with that
Perfect avatar for this comment
Lightning is the stoic dad who watches over his Fireball son learn to focus on the goal.
Emily Axford’s legendary lightning bolt in Dimension 20’s Crown of Candy comes to mind.
The realtalk in the end.
Also: Thanks for the new "Chad-Jacob"-episode. Hopefully there are some more to come, really enjoying this new "cast-member" :D
In fairness being upset about spelljammer and actually being able to justify your feelings on the matter is more valid and useful than "but i liked it"
This is my favorite series of skits by this channel. It's entertaining and informative.
the DnD player reminds me a lot of the "annoying younger cousin" that the family makes you interact with on holidays
When I Play and DM D&D lately, I kinda turn into the D&D Player a bit. But when I play other TTRPGs I'm very in line with the TTRPG Chad... so needless to say I'm playing in a Cyberpunk Red campaign and in DMing a Star Wars 5e campaign atm. The D&D break has been well needed after Spell Jammer failed to deliver on Flying Laser Bathtub Rules.
And I love D&D but man is it nice to take a break and try out other things after 5 years of playing 5e primarily
@@loganshockey4041 Yeah, I know that feeling. I just bought Cyberpunk Red and have been showing it to all my friends in a not-so-subtle attempt to make them want to play. I think DnD causes the sort of mentality you see in the video because A) Its community is absolutely huge and thus it's easy to get absorbed into its polarized opinions and B) It's mostly a wargame and so it encourages people to choose the 'optimal choice' rather than the narratively appropriate choice. plus the fact that most people playing 5e have been playing only 5e for the past little while and have a bit of tunnel vision. Obviously, I have no harsh feelings toward 5e; it does what it does well, but I think we'd all benefit from playing a wider range of TTRPGs to gain a bit of perspective.
I am going to be playing 5e for the first time in years after ages of just OSR and Call of Cthulhu and stuff like that. Going in with a different vibe than when I first played it 😌
"You took lightning bolt? BRUH" this line made me laugh until I couldn't breathe
I am elated to see more gigachad. I will never tire of this sketch series
I was really hoping 1:14 would go like this:
"What did you think of it?"
Gigachad: [looks pointedly] "I haven't read it."
The other stuff was funny, but the thanks for running the game was pure wholesomeness. I don't need to hear it every time, but whenever I do hear it from players, it's what I live for.
Edit: I take it back, the part about healing the other player so he can defeat his backstory monster is actually so cool. That's serious gigachad energy.
unsure how to feel about the pro "Wotc writing books telling you to make it up yourself" stance taken. I mean, I like making stuff up myself, thats what my party finds fun, but its not good for the game if people are paying to be told to do so I feel
"Thanks for running today's game. I can tell you put alot of work into it" If only my player know how much it meant to me :(
The fact that he could hold his face like that for so long is impressive.
that whole bit about making characters inspired by other media is great, i love taking a character from a media I love, putting them in D&D while putting my own twist on the character and seeing who can guess who i'm running that campaign
Jacob has absolutely MASTERED that face.
Absolutely based and glorious.
Glorious, yes. Based, ehhh....
I love the chad character, it might get old eventually but for now it's still very enjoyable!
@XP_To_level3. L
I ones was in this exact situation with lightning bolt. We were playing desert adventure, so i decided to pick lightning bolt instead of fire ball, because in my mind everything in desert probably gonna have fire resistance, and i also wasn't evocation wizard, so lightning bolt was easier to aim and not hit my friends. But my group still though that I'm bad wizard for that
This. If you're not evocation wizard then you have to worry about fireball hitting allies a lot more. Lightning bolt also just feels good to use like you're being tactical with positioning.
I like how he chose something other than fireball and chose a spell that makes sense for his character
As a forever DM I love this video I want more content with our favorite player. Also I love the blooper reel. Please keep those in your future videos it was hilarious.
Okay but people ARE gonna want to use those flying laser bathtubs to fire lasers, and the book tells us "hey don't, just run normal combat, these lasers we've mounted to the bathtubs are just for display purposes"
Whiny Nerd Character has a point, he's just being more emotional about it
I think his point is more fleshed out at the end where he points it more at influencers/content creators who just want to farm outrage for profit. The point could've been made a lot better, unless he is just targeting everyone criticising wotc in which case yeah hes literally a consOOOOmer
@@legopenguin9 Yeah, normally Jacob's pretty even-handed so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here, but yeah its comes off as a little consoomery
also there was another very bad and racist thing wrong with the book that he conspicuously didn’t mention and knowing that plus seeing Gigachad just go “I liked it” makes Gigachad look…uh, not great
@@brandongiles7240
If that were mentioned by the ranty player it’d look Jacob was making fun of the Hadozee situation. Also, while it’s clear he’s talking about Spelljammer, he’s made a silly version for the purpose of applying the video to any D&D release.
Not even to mention the fact that there are a number of very...questionable rules decisions. Changing the travel time while keeping the air envelope times is weird, making it so that your air envelope is instantly spoiled by contact with a lower grade one (regardless of size) is very bad (prior editions had it based on size of the objects), and the Giff for some reason can shoot a musket 8 times in 6 seconds as a high enough level fighter. And they didn't even give a cool lore reason why! Just made the feature and shrugged. I get that muskets are unfun when you're only blasting a single attack roll as a character with extra attacks, but why not just make them get some sort of bonus on the damage of that single attack roll for each extra attack instead? Or give them access to wheellocks or something.
It just seems like Wizards is ticking boxes and phoning it in.
Wotc did make a bad book tho. Critizing a product does not mean you are not a chad, it's called taste.
Now for the ultimate showdown of Chad Jacob vs. the Wizard, if possible
you nailed how people who enjoy something tend to share how they felt vs other. 100% bruh Great stuff keep up the awesome work!
I’m running my first ever campaign this week and if someone says “thanks for running todays game I can tell you put a lot of work into it” to me the 10s of hours this week will be worth it.
These have definitely become some of my favourite skits. Also, I'm happy to say that several of my players fall into the Chad category! Also, many fall into the regular gamer category! I think many of us fall in a nice gray zone: many times just happy to play, and yet constantly scheming and metagaming for that next juicy item/level, heh!
Jesus. Minutes after posting my comment, I get a reply saying I've won something on fucking Telegram. Is it safe to say everyone already knows this is a scam?! Fucksakes.
As a new DM running a homebrew game for 6 players I am very much considering sending them the gigachad playlist as a “how to be a good player” guide
Although I understand the feeling I'd recommend not presenting it as such. It can feel pretty bad when it feels someone is telling you "here is what you should do", especially because it can feel like "here, is what you should do for me", and in my experience this does little in improving self-awareness, I know I'd feel a bit awkward if one of my DM did that.
Like, imagine how you would feel if they'd send you out of the blue the "Gigachad DM" video as a lesson to take ?
Ever since I got kicked out of an online group I liked to play with, I watched tons of content about how to be a better player, and understood better the mistakes I made and how to correct them, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been as efficient if someone else had tried to make the effort for me.
I upvoted your comment even though having 69 is a nice number, I feel you could use a higher number.
As an experienced DM running a homebrew game for 6 players... good luck 😂
Okay, but to be serious, you'll love it when the energy starts flowing. But it's also chaos, and it can get tense. Make sure you're giving each player a moment to shine here and there. Most importantly, be patient. That goes for you and your players.
Dude, these videos are kind of trash half the time.
It's okay to be critical of things, Jacob.
while whiny fans are definitely a thing, maybe the blatantly rules-anemic Spelljammer book wasn't the right example here
THANK YOU.
Skits like these make me love my dnd group that much more. I knew they were all Gigachads, but it’s a good reminder. No, but seriously I’ve only really played with one group who are all really nice. I didn’t even know there were players out there that end sessions without thanking the DM 😨
let's be honest now....the gigachad guy would be fun first couple times , but if he just does shit because it's cool every time , it would get really tiring , really fast. Especially in harder encounters
Alright I agree with the ending on everything...
except spelljammer
the Virgin Fireball vs. the Chad Lightning Bolt
All of this is on point except for the Spelljammer criticism shade BRUH
3:20 this bit feels like it was a long time coming and I can't agree with it more.
The "bruh" was so spot on it hurt. I remember dudes like that.
Ah, the return of the Gigachad, I'm glad this is becoming a bit. Great video, very entertaining.
Genuine question how long can you hold the Chad face and does it hurt?
GigaJacob is his default state: he’s been making a face this whole time just for content, but finally gets to relax and be himself with this “character” 💚
I complain about spelljammer because i wait for it for a long time and it is unfinish... 😞 They even mention a spell in the story that is not in the guide .-.
I love the theme and i will use all the content but i homebrew a lot to my and my players personal taste.
You're right to complain, Jacob is wrong to dismiss criticism.
@@8Smoker8 i think a right amount of polite criticism is good yes 👍
the way he moves his hand when he says “bruh” is amazing LMFAO
It would be amazing if my group complemented me on running the game, being dm is seriously under appreciated
Love my D&D group so much. Thanks for sharing these, almost a whole group of DM/Player Chads and it is fantastic fun. Hardest part is making time as adults and parents but we get almost weekly!
Flying Laser Bathtubs…
*Write that down Write that down!*
yeah do it since wizard wont do it!
Unironically, playing other TTRPG's besides D&D (it was my first) changed my whole perspective on how I play D&D. Even playing a couple sessions of Everyone is John had a crazy result on how I play.
Sometimes moving from one game to another can have a heterodyne effect... imagine playing Call of Cthulhu, then Paranoia, then D&D... and your first dungeon chamber has a mimic in it.
The fake account is trying to scam you. Don't fall for it. Report the fake account @XP_To_level3
HILARIOUS! Love the outtakes too. I have enjoyed every Chad video so far, but this is one may be my favorite
I'm very new to DND/TTRPG and these videos never fail to entertain as well as guide me to have good etiquette. They set an inspiring standard that I hope to achieve.
Everything hits home, except that I agree more with the non-chad about the lack of actual rules I can use from official D&D books, they are lackluster so I don't even bother, haven't bought a new WotC book since 2019. I probably wouldn't care if I had more time to homebrew.
While I understand that there are circles of people in the fandom that have over criticized the Spelljammer books, I don't think ignoring the complaints about it and pretending that the lack of ship to ship combat is in fact a problem, is some how a Chad move.
I think what would have been the Chad move would have been to acknowledge that there are problems with the books but try to highlight some of the more positive aspects of them too. Then go into how that great thing about tabletop gaming is that we CAN homebrew "patches" to fix or fill in rules that don't work unlike in video games where the rules are hardwired into the experience.
Over all I liked the video but that one skit just didn't sit right for me.
Yeah, like.. there are more circumspect and zen ways to respond to a poor product than toxic complaining, so that was a point that was begging to be made with that setup. But, just dismissing concerns and saying "well, I like it" isn't one of them.
If anything, that's more like foisting the burden of critique and product quality off on everyone else, and that does not fit in with a gigachad.
You took a lot of interpretation from the response of "I liked it" from being asked what he thought about it. There isn't anything to suggest the gigachad character thinks the book is without issues. Saying you like the books when someone is complaining isn't ignoring criticism, and getting really annoyed at that part of the skit purely because of that projection is sorta the negative mob mentality behavior that was being made fun of. And to be clear, I understand the frustrations with the books and I understand that the skit probably felt like it was targeting your legitimate frustration, but I just don't believe the skit was doing what you say it was
