I already put in a ton of work for my sessions. I’m not creating a video recap for players that can’t bother to read their char sheet before a session.
If you'd like a more in depth video on how exactly to make a recap video, including sourcing clips, editing and adding voiceover and music, let me know, and I'll make one.
Been making video recaps for years, especially useful as I also play with groups that rotate players in and out. Recent example: ruclips.net/video/iNFEAtxbFvM/видео.html
I miss the moving toys! It was so playful. And thanks for introducing me to a new favorite channel - Deficient Master. Looking forward to more. Maybe I’ll try the videos … but it’ll probably just be a talking head. I’m too lazy for more. 😂
Another great video. I must say, though, I often take pretty good notes for myself, but if the players ask what happened last time, I shrug. I mean, how much work is being a player really? The least they can do is take some notes. Mind you, I only had to shrug for two sessions before everyone started taking notes.
I mean lack of recap could work if players won't make notes. Play as if they all have short term memory loss. "what just happened?" "I don't know??" "Why am I missing an arm?!?!" "WTF DUDE?!?;"
Take notes from The Dungeon Minister and Merlinstergandaldore, then put the Zac Speaks Giant spin and voila your recaps are the next hit RUclips Shorts D&D channel 😀
My second to last session recap (all happening at the same time): - Majora's mask moon falling GIF - Anime standard harem forming - Fight and explosion of antimatter
This is something that we did miss out, GIFs and memes on discord. That said if I put that up on a video it would be non sensical gibberish..... pretty standard.

I love having a scribe Otherwise, the players who were there last time roll a d20 and the ones who get the worst result (high or low depends on the system) is the one doing the recap This is a cool way, but I need my players to do it then xD
:-D yeah new crazy video *hype* also: i don't do the recaps that's the job of my players so i can see if / how good i was able to get all the neccessary plotpoints to them. As a player... i kinda try to do notes but mostly forget them. Funny though i can remember much of the stuff even without writing them down and since i mostly play Thorwalians (viking type ancestry from The Dark eye) or some Hacker in Shadowrun who mostly plays games when the our Face is talking to Mr. Smith (or watches some gay p.... and yeah my hacker got caught doing this) i'm not EXPECTED to know everything xD also for Fu.. sake i spit my water on the screen when the stick figure recap came and the jokes with the nuts came 😀i think i'm still 12
Glad you liked the stick men! If I give my players the responsibility to make notes and recap I'll literally just get bits of paper with knobs drawn on them.
Hey Dan, it's Sarah. Loving this.
For the love of god.

As a DM, I don't do recaps. That's the players' job! Stop babying your players while they make you do all the work.
But, they're useless!
"But, they're useless! "
Spoken like a true DM.

Yeah Dan I'm gonna need that gnome shirt. I'll even wear it for a video*!
*You won't see it, but I'll wear it.
Put me down for one too.
Love your vids
DM, it's already in the post.
I started the video thinking: that's crazy! But definitely ended the video thinking: yeah, I could probably do that.
Do it! Do it to the max!!

This is awesome!
My group has not got together in months, a video recap would be very nice lol
Get on it! Does us a treat!

That'll work! Maybe wear some silly hats?

@@DexSaveDan Lol that would be a fun night.
Love your drunken scribe notes in our sessions 😂
is that a real moving toy? very eerie
They're gonna get ya!!!!!!!!!!!!
My group share a written recap ahead of the session. This video idea is much better.
Tell me about it!!!
Take notes from The Dungeon Minister and Merlinstergandaldore, then put the Zac Speaks Giant spin and voila your recaps are the next hit RUclips Shorts D&D channel 😀
To the bank!!
I have a player that writes songs or poems about each session. It’s great.
This is great! Our bard player did start this but I think he lost inspiration.
One question, one question only.
Where can I buy the shirt?
I thought I replied!!!!! You don't need to buy a shirt.
0:14 best boy Eddie!
He is the BEST boy
@@DexSaveDan he truly is the BESTEST boy!
Doggos master race!

@@DexSaveDan yeah, it is a lot of fun but wouldn't make much sense to other people outside
I ask, "Now where were we?" and let the players fill in gaps. I agree with @thespawner don't make me work that hard while you eat all the pizza :)
Honestly, I slack off in every other respect I have to do something!!
@@DexSaveDan Understandable. LOL
Yes, I have actually tried this! Where can I send you a link?
Can you put it in the comments? Never tried that before.
@@DexSaveDan RUclips tends to automatically hide or refuse to post comments with links in them. I'll post my link after this reply and you'll see what happens.
@@DexSaveDan Can you see that? I don't believe you will see that.
You’re right. Doesn’t show up. My email is in the channel description.
I WOULD HAVE COMMENTED! 😂
Why do you keep using those particular fingers to count?
What do you mean? That's how we're taught in Essex. You're a maths teacher right? Is that not correct?
I thought he was super annoying at first, then I saw that (3:32) and cracked a smile. :)
@@DexSaveDan It’s the Essex way.😂
I love having a scribe

This is a cool way, but I need my players to do it then xD
I do have a player that does it, I just make sure they haven't f""ked it up!
@@DexSaveDan I need this too!
And yeah GM supervision is very important
Dex Save Eddie!
Woof.
100% doing this!
…80%
:-D yeah new crazy video *hype*

Video recap is nice, but if anyone uses AI at my table they can find somewhere else to play.
Why have such a blanket stance on AI? Some random guy making an image isn't hurting anyone when no artist would have been paid anyway.
I'll sit out of this one team. Please feel free to discuss.
Nice idea.
