The reasons why most people don't work out are a) Life. As time has progressed, many have to work schedules that are killing any motivation and b) "working out is boring" Also the workout industry keeps portraying if you "do this one thing you'll be buff like me". No, it isn't a magic trick. Workout correctly...eat correctly...rest correctly... repeat. The meta analysis is clear. Magic woowoo doesn't work, work...works. For a) that takes a concerted effort. Even if all you can do is walk further to work and drink less soda's, every bit helps. Also, try to press for changes in the local, and regional support structures to ensure workers rights if you can. Contrary to what certain groups espouse, workers aren't lazy and yes they do have rights. For b) find something... anything active. That's safe and doable. After talking with your doctor. Then work on dietary protocols to bring your nutrition intake into healthy parameters while still achieving satisfying meals. Unlike many things, working out *is a lifestyle choice*. You don't just slot into a gym. Some run, some yoga, some dance, some lift, some catch spears thrown at them and throw them back (what don't @ me) If the body exceeds calories in, it will call on reserves. If the body exceeds calories out, it will build reserves. Be the calories out coming from running, lifting, sports etc. And you're allowed to change routines. Do something every day. One day walk far, next: RUclips dance video aerobics, next: yoga stretching routine. Whatever. It is an active lifestyle, with consistency in activity levels and dietary protocols that results in sustainable change over time. Challenge the body with unique stimuli, fuel the body with filling nutrition, with a lot of fiber and a balanced nutrient intake and allow rest periods. That *includes* getting *sufficient sleep nightly*. As a wiser man than me said "there is no supplement you can take for consistency" and it's true. Find what you can do, every week, for the rest of your life. If you are trying to lose weight, throw your scale away, work on cutting calories while still being full, work with your doctor and keep at increasing your activity levels doing things you like. The scale will demoralize you. Don't be a slave to it Don't build a dietary protocol that you are constantly hungry, or that you do extreme restrictions and then bounce back. 1) you'll hate it 2) on the rebound you'll eat worse. If you are losing more than 1 kg, or 2 ish pounds *a week* and it isn't newbie losses, get with your doctor. That could be a warning sign, or you could be hurting yourself. 1) extreme quick weight shifts, up or down, are hard to maintain and 2) extreme levels of weight loss can either be a sign of medical problems or be very hard on your system. Channels like Shredded sports science, Jeff Nippard, B.U.F.F. Dudes, and Pure Bullfit have series of videos, highly researched, accessing the primary lit for citations if you wish to see topics explained in a eli5 manner. During activity, watch form, and protect your joints. Ego anything will end up making you regret doing it in the long run. Your knees, spine and rotator cuffs are more important than any ego. Remember, the influencers on Instagram work on their body for their job, they didn't get that shape with a 5 minute tabata routine. Neither will you. Thank you for attending my Ted talk. Source: I'm a scientist who does metabolism stuff, and I've had to have my spine rebuilt from the ground up because of a genetic issue in my bones and blood, and I've worked with a dozen experts on this for years.
Also, you are not a "fitness failure" until you give up trying. *Stares hard* That's advertiser talk... don't listen to advertisers they're trying to sell you stuff. You just haven't found a style that you'll obsess over yet.
"Have you been dead before?" My Revenant character: "I've been dead so often the Raven Queen gives me a high five on my way back to the Land of the Living."
"Death seems to be fine as long as it's not someone we like, but cannibalism seems to be off-limits!" Stomach: I would like to object! That would have made for a great live RP moment, though x)
...I mean this with praise and no insult when I say I'm so invested in this medics story now. Aisling's great, but now I just can't stop imagining roleplay set in a fantasy world as non-adventurers just trying to deal with the setting they live in. The concept amuses me and I might need to make a one-shot of it someday...
Hm...RUclips commenters are saying they want more casual little videos in between the big ones....have a dnd podcast coming out soon....I have my characters costuming in the mail....do I have time? I don’t know...god this is so tempting though. Well done.
I am.... so tempted to do this for my next character and now I’m all kinds of excited. ALSO holy crap that work out adventure looks like EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THANK YOU FOR PROMOTING!!
....Next character? Oh, do tell! (PS, I don’t think we’ve gotten to see how your D&D characters from a year ago have been lately. ‘Gestures to Alben’ I want to see~ my~ little~ boy~....)
I loved that interaction! It was cut together so well, if I hadn't already seen the previous video I would have had no real idea they weren't intentionally both filmed to react to each other. This turned out so well, I hope you've got more of these to sessions planned for the future. Maybe something where Jester is trying to patch someone up, or setting up a pranking?
This was wonderful. Not just in how smoothly you intergrated the various character-building questions, but the overall way you portrayed both Aisling and Ellie so that even though it was you in both roles, they still felt like entirely distinct characters, not just a costume change.
I love this! I've totally been using all your character development things to help me flesh out my characters! Really appreciated. Also! I totally relate to your "I do not workout. Every once in awhile I try and get into the habit, and then I realize that exercising sucks and I hate it, and then I stop." Bahahahaha it's why I love LARP so much. Fighting with swords in the mountains really helps me get exercise without hating it! Totally gonna give this podcast a try xD
I'm overweight and not healthy, so this Adventure Workout seems like a great thing to look into. I'll definitely check it out, I'd like to get into shape again and actually keep that and not just stop. This was super cool! I just started to roleplay and I'm super awkward but these videos were very helpful and this was cool to see it with your characters pov!
GINNY! Recently you're outdoing yourself every week and I am so here for it! Absolutely in love with this concept (and also Aisling, even more so than before!)
I am absolutely excited to see more of these and to send them to my players to (hopefully) get them more into roleplaying! Thanks again Ginny for the wonderful content, please keep it up
"That's a nasty scar, how'd you get it?" I don't know why, but I responded in my head as my Half-Orc Arcane Assassin, "My brother tried to kill me." And then I started laughing! I'm so sorry, Corvus!!
I was totally expecting "you eyes are blurry and there's a ringing in your ears, the last thing you recall is that you were being chased by - SHEILA BUFF"
The follow up! Ah you did such a good job seamlessly incorporating both for a Smooth interaction, added to my list of things to do, make a vid of my own role playing my character and responding to your questions while being stitched up. You inspire me to continue developing my Characters!
Ginny I love this. The Healer's wig btw is gorgeous! I'm curious if you'd do Aisling replies to all your NPC POV videos, or just this one? I love learning more about Aisling everytime you share her~ Your upload schedule also happens to be the same day I run my own dnd campaign, so seeing your dnd videos always gets me excited for my game! And you're one of the few channels who's sponsors are actually companies and Kickstarters I'm really interested in. I too have repeatedly failed in my attempts at getting into workouts, but this one sounds pretty neat!
With all the p.o.v. Tik toks going around you might’ve actually started the next trend! I hope to see more videos like roleplaying exercises like this for dnd! Thank you so much for making this
This is Workout Adventure creator here... Yes! Zombies, Run was the only thing we could find that was like what we were wanting! But it was more horror than fantasy... so we made Workout Adventure, cause sometimes you have to make the thing you want if it doesn't exist yet. haha
This was awesome. :) I really love the back and forth between the two characters in this. :) And having had seen the first one, I love that you decided to expand it more and play around with it.
Ginny D you have no idea how awesome this was! I watched the original video and responded as my character Nora and it was really fun. Watching you also deal with this crazy healer was even more fun! Good luck on future projects!
How Half elves becomes... Have your parents ever told you about when *Insert famous human bard* came to the elven high court...? Well... *CENSORED* ...Aaand that how Half elves come to the world.
This is *amazing* ! I may gather up the confidence and what items are needed to film a response someday, but for now I’m looking forward to watching others! More NPC videos would be fantastic.
I do think this is a very interesting format, even given the limitations to certain D&D races being a little... less susceptible to arrow piercings. It could be fun to work out how my Warforged, Three, would react to the healer being covered in SOMEone's blood, since it theoretically isn't his. He kinda can't do that
Two things: 1) both the previous one and this one were pretty darn cool and I’m thinking of ways to use it, 2) I really would like to get some kind of exercise program that allows me to exercise even with my badly screwed up knee (go go arthritis).
so glad she brought up the warforged because that's what I'm currently playing, mycharacter is pretty blunt so I was laughing at my own blunt answers to her questions
I'm hopeful for a Warforged/Artificer one, purely for the sparks and reflective goggles visual. That was very entertaining to watch. Gave a lot of insight into Aisling's personality.
I would love to see a continuation of this. Maybe have the healer go and amputate a leg off of a barbarian character you also role play? I could watch this roleplaying all day!
That is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a long time. Nicely done. I’d really like to see more of these. Very inspirational, especially for us solo gamers.
It is one thing to create things that bring you joy personally, but to create something that opens up possibilities to others, and to share that creative process, is altogether absolutely AWESOME!!! I always praise the fact that you inspire others to make their own works, but now you've gone a step further, and made it possible for so many people to not only create, but to collaborate with you as well!! You have spearheaded a truly amazing form of creative endeavors for anyone and everyone, and helped to share the joy that comes from such works on a whole other level!! Like I have said before, you inspire, you share, and you help make art that reaches out to many different avenues!! That is why you are forever going to be one of the absolute greatest content creators out there!!!!
I want more!! I didn't think anything could top last weeks video but double roleplay is so fun! You did a great job editing and can't wait to see more Aisling & upcoming content 💚 Take care Ginny~
I have been following your stuff since back in your Not Literally days, (Still watch Carol of the Brains every December) but this may have just taken over as my all time favorite Ginny Di video. Even if I was not into DnD, its just a fun little skit with silly jokes, entertaining banter and great cosplay. Your tone of voice and facial expressions are also very emotive. You really do a great job of portraying a feeling with the way you move your eyes and mouth. Thanks for continuing to share your passions with us. Also, yes to bloopers and more bloopers. Love it!
This was so much fun to watch! Aisling is such an interesting character and it was great to hear more about her! I hope Nightshade won't be too mad at her 😂💗
I might try this. I really loved that first list of questions. I wrote them down and plan to use it for all future characters. Yesterday I literally wrote a 4 page letter from my current character to her family. She was basically saying bye and I love you, because they’re about to go fight a magma dragon, and she’s afraid of fire, so is real scared. My party may or may not ever see it lol.
I know this is a bit of an undertaking, but for a long-term project I think it would be really interesting if you made a sort of RUclips RPG. We click on answers and it takes us to a video that goes with our answer until we get to the end. Markiplier and Jacksfilms have done interactive things like this but nothing quite like a fantasy game
It's all just in time for DnD on Saturday!!! I'll have to go back and rewatch the healer video to get into character! SUPER looking forward to the next ones, thanks Ginny!
This was CAPTIVATING and I don't even do D&D or anything like that! (I found you because of a cosplay video and just like you as a person! hehee) You really sucked me in. Awesome video!
Ahh I love this so much!! Aisling seems like such a fun character, and it's really cool to get a sense of her other party members from her small mentions of them. I would love to see more of these!! It would be funny to see the Bandit Alarm Clock interaction :P
I'm not playing in a game right now, but I plan to DM soon. These questions and the list of 50 from before have helped me discover some surprising personality traits for some NPCs. Plus, in my first instinct answers, I have created some neat events or incidents around some characters. These are amazingly helpful, and I'd love to see more character builder stuff as well as more Aisling content!
Not only did I love this but also THANK YOU for continually introducing me to really cool shiz through the sponsorships that you accept!!! I am totally interested in gameifying exercise - definitely going to check that kickstarter out.
This sounds weird I love this video but what I really love is the way your healer is clearly using this chat to distract her patients and isn't actually fully invested in the conversation yet pulls off the right level of empathy like she cares for her patients and loves her work but her attention is on the medical needs and the conversation is to make sure her patient doesn't make those needs worse. Not sure if that is what you were going for or if I'm reading too much into it but if it was it really came across I saw it in the first video too but I think it shines out so clearly when you added the 2nd half
Geez, your character is talkative! Mine wouldn't say that much about themselves, revealing only what they wouldn't care others knowing. Awesome video once more!
Yeah, I mean... this kind of video is also only really useful if your character is willing to talk! If they normally wouldn't be, I'd suggest finding a way to justify them being unusually talkative - maybe they're delirious from the pain, or they're more talkative during an adrenaline rush, or something like that. Personally, I don't really see the point of creating a roleplaying character who doesn't engage with anyone, so all my characters are pretty talkative! Roleplay is talking, mostly!!
@@GinnyDi Well I used it to prompt both conversation and reflection, playing my character's silence/subject divertion and still think about what was said. For a video, I agree that you need to be talkative (just imagine if you had said nothing for the whole time, that would have been a weird one haha), but in the comfort of one's home it's still great for more silent type characters, trying to find ways to say things without divulging what you want kept secret. I found it to be an excellent exercise in character building and roleplaying at least!

This is so cool! Good job :)
Thank you for taking this sponsor! Part of my problem exercising is the boredom. I’m excited to do this!

Also the workout industry keeps portraying if you "do this one thing you'll be buff like me". No, it isn't a magic trick. Workout correctly...eat correctly...rest correctly... repeat.
The meta analysis is clear. Magic woowoo doesn't work, work...works.
For a) that takes a concerted effort. Even if all you can do is walk further to work and drink less soda's, every bit helps. Also, try to press for changes in the local, and regional support structures to ensure workers rights if you can. Contrary to what certain groups espouse, workers aren't lazy and yes they do have rights.

"Have you been dead before?"
My Revenant character: "I've been dead so often the Raven Queen gives me a high five on my way back to the Land of the Living."
My character has only been dead once. But his grandmother is the goddess of death. So who knows how many more times he will die and get sent back.
My Revenant who is hiding the fact that he’s dead/his horrible has burns with a glamor: ...no (internally: *they ask you how you are*)
"I mean... a couple of times..." ~ my Twilight Druid.
Sometimes death is just a minor inconvenience. XD
*All is dust* for the 15th Legion...
I love this edgy little comment chain. :D
That one second of “You meant to eat, right?” To “Okay you’re fine” had me laughing 😂 everything about this video is so perfect
"Sometimes he even hurts himself in the battles? I'm not sure how he manages to do that."
"It's good to have people you can rely on."
A nod to Bloodhunter?
or berserker
stupid me thinking "how is she going to have enough time to respond between questions" not realizing this is also a video she can edit.
I was thinking the same thing but for it I ever did this with my characters but then I was like oh wait you can edit a video lol
"Some elf on elf action!" -Ginny Di, 2020
*OH YEAH!*
Do I need the premium subscription for that?
I'm laughing so hard at Aisling's sudden fear with the "only if she's not drunk!" it speaks of experience lololol
Ginny: Adventuring is a bit of a young persons game don’t ya think
My 73 year old human Druid: YEP TOTALLY
You too have an elderly human character. He is a cleric and believes that adventuring is nothing compared to church politics.
263 year old gnome here
The 22 year old fighter I’m going to play in our next campaign: ;-;
Have fun
My 315 year old vampire blood hunter: Oh definitely dear
I had to pause because I am laughing WAY TOO HARD at "you meant to eat, right?"
Dang Ginny’s hair is flawless this video
Just this video?
You forgot the 'as always'.
Is it possible to learn this power?
@@RaptorRocka not from a Mage of order....
Dang Ginny -'s- -hair- is flawless -this video-
"Death seems to be fine as long as it's not someone we like, but cannibalism seems to be off-limits!"
Stomach: I would like to object!
That would have made for a great live RP moment, though x)
...I mean this with praise and no insult when I say I'm so invested in this medics story now. Aisling's great, but now I just can't stop imagining roleplay set in a fantasy world as non-adventurers just trying to deal with the setting they live in.

You totally should! It’s such a fun and often over looked idea
Hm...RUclips commenters are saying they want more casual little videos in between the big ones....have a dnd podcast coming out soon....I have my characters costuming in the mail....do I have time? I don’t know...god this is so tempting though.
Well done.
PLEASE!!! MO MO!! PLEASE!!
Omg this is such a crossover for me!
Yess Momo! I would love this!
Doooo ittt!! Also I love you Mo Mo!
So want this crossover!
Honestly watching this again with Asling answering the questions helped me to develop my own character's answers, which was fun.
I am.... so tempted to do this for my next character and now I’m all kinds of excited.
ALSO holy crap that work out adventure looks like EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THANK YOU FOR PROMOTING!!
....Next character? Oh, do tell!
(PS, I don’t think we’ve gotten to see how your D&D characters from a year ago have been lately.
‘Gestures to Alben’
I want to see~ my~ little~ boy~....)
I would love to see that!! please do
I actually watched yours before coming over here. Blueberry is hilarious! 😁❤️
I was just watching your videos and omg I think that would be perfect for you 😁
Briiiizzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyy hiiiiii😄
Ginny demonstrating the power that comes a well executed f-bomb!
I loved that interaction! It was cut together so well, if I hadn't already seen the previous video I would have had no real idea they weren't intentionally both filmed to react to each other.
This turned out so well, I hope you've got more of these to sessions planned for the future. Maybe something where Jester is trying to patch someone up, or setting up a pranking?
Oh dear... the neighborhood got *FLUFFERNUTTERED!!!* X/
I wonder how Aisling would handle being around Jester... lol
The fact that she gets so many sponsers makes me so happy! Well done!
THANK YOU 🙈 I'm so grateful, especially because every single sponsor is just such a cool company?!
Ginny Di they are pretty cool sponsers.
This was wonderful. Not just in how smoothly you intergrated the various character-building questions, but the overall way you portrayed both Aisling and Ellie so that even though it was you in both roles, they still felt like entirely distinct characters, not just a costume change.
You definitely need less imagination than with Ryan George
i can watch like 50 more of these
It was silly, charming, and fun to watch! I agree with the Role Play practice angle!
Thinking of how my Lizardfolk Barbarian would do here... He's a (very) big growling-gurgling Alligator boi.
"Shirt not mine, grrrglglrrr."
I love this! I've totally been using all your character development things to help me flesh out my characters! Really appreciated.
Also! I totally relate to your "I do not workout. Every once in awhile I try and get into the habit, and then I realize that exercising sucks and I hate it, and then I stop."
Bahahahaha it's why I love LARP so much. Fighting with swords in the mountains really helps me get exercise without hating it! Totally gonna give this podcast a try xD
I'm overweight and not healthy, so this Adventure Workout seems like a great thing to look into. I'll definitely check it out, I'd like to get into shape again and actually keep that and not just stop.
This was super cool! I just started to roleplay and I'm super awkward but these videos were very helpful and this was cool to see it with your characters pov!
GINNY! Recently you're outdoing yourself every week and I am so here for it! Absolutely in love with this concept (and also Aisling, even more so than before!)
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!!
"or if you actually like exercising, you monster!" XD
'' That must have hurt ''
"F***k"
I'm in stitches! 😂
I see what you did here
I am absolutely excited to see more of these and to send them to my players to (hopefully) get them more into roleplaying! Thanks again Ginny for the wonderful content, please keep it up
Happy to help!! I hope your players find them useful!
They better, or it's disadvantage for the night
I love all of these! It’s wonderful to see Aisling again!!
Plot twist: Ellie is Aisling's half sister!
“Any party member in particular you we're worried about?“
“Robby the little squeamish Tiefling. Is his head still ripped off?“
"That's a nasty scar, how'd you get it?"
I don't know why, but I responded in my head as my Half-Orc Arcane Assassin, "My brother tried to kill me." And then I started laughing! I'm so sorry, Corvus!!
The more I see of her work, the more impressed I am by this young woman. She is very talented!
I was totally expecting "you eyes are blurry and there's a ringing in your ears, the last thing you recall is that you were being chased by - SHEILA BUFF"
Yes more of this💗💗 I really want to see Momo O'Brien do a response
Oh by goddd YES
@@chai7218 @RenaKuro scroll up and comment and tell her!! :D
"You meant to eat, right?" darn near slayed me.
(Also, the "YOU MONSTER!" in the sponsored bit caused me to spit out some of my dinner....)
I play 2 characters in my campaign. I have had a 5 min conversation with myself while my friends rofl'd
The look on your face when you said
"I don't love it"
PERFECT
The follow up! Ah you did such a good job seamlessly incorporating both for a Smooth interaction, added to my list of things to do, make a vid of my own role playing my character and responding to your questions while being stitched up. You inspire me to continue developing my Characters!

"Are there any secrets your keeping?"
"Yes."
"... ..."
"... ..."
"Well it's good to have people you can rely on."
Elf-on-elf action is always the best action.
Don't judge me.
(I really like Aisling's hair, btw.)
It was kinda funny how because of Ellie being filmed first when Aisling mentioned her patron Ellie just ignored it every time and changed the subject.
That's a really cool workout idea, sounds like a cooler version of 'Zombies, Run!'
This is Workout Adventure creator here... Yes! Zombies, Run was the only thing we could find that was like what we were wanting! But it was more horror than fantasy... so we made Workout Adventure, cause sometimes you have to make the thing you want if it doesn't exist yet. haha
This was awesome. :) I really love the back and forth between the two characters in this. :) And having had seen the first one, I love that you decided to expand it more and play around with it.
8:57 my person would just be like "90? That's so young, i started adventuring around 100"
Ginny D you have no idea how awesome this was! I watched the original video and responded as my character Nora and it was really fun. Watching you also deal with this crazy healer was even more fun! Good luck on future projects!
I love this. As much as I like the POV role play with the healer, I love Aisling role play
"Some elf on elf action" inb4 we get wave 2 of people whining about the healer being an elf bc they don't understand half elves...
How Half elves becomes...
Have your parents ever told you about when *Insert famous human bard* came to the elven high court...?
Well... *CENSORED*
...Aaand that how Half elves come to the world.
I specifically wrote in a line where Aisling mentions that the healer is a half-elf because I got so many comments about it on the last video, haha!!
This is *amazing* ! I may gather up the confidence and what items are needed to film a response someday, but for now I’m looking forward to watching others! More NPC videos would be fantastic.
I do think this is a very interesting format, even given the limitations to certain D&D races being a little... less susceptible to arrow piercings. It could be fun to work out how my Warforged, Three, would react to the healer being covered in SOMEone's blood, since it theoretically isn't his. He kinda can't do that
Two things:
1) both the previous one and this one were pretty darn cool and I’m thinking of ways to use it,
2) I really would like to get some kind of exercise program that allows me to exercise even with my badly screwed up knee (go go arthritis).
ooh, I love working out and I love D&D! this may be the first sponsored thing by anyone I'll actually check out.
I have done two of the workouts now and they are awesome.
"That was comically terrible" is a great phrase lol
so glad she brought up the warforged because that's what I'm currently playing, mycharacter is pretty blunt so I was laughing at my own blunt answers to her questions
I love this, when I started watching your pov vids I didn't really know how to do it. This is a good example of how to get in character
I'm hopeful for a Warforged/Artificer one, purely for the sparks and reflective goggles visual.
That was very entertaining to watch. Gave a lot of insight into Aisling's personality.
I was totally hoping to do almost this exact same thing, but will probably never get around to it, so I'm glad you did it!
I would love to see a continuation of this. Maybe have the healer go and amputate a leg off of a barbarian character you also role play? I could watch this roleplaying all day!
These are my favorite videos, love the Aisling role play even more than I love the POV role play. Cannot wait to see more.
That is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a long time. Nicely done. I’d really like to see more of these. Very inspirational, especially for us solo gamers.
It is one thing to create things that bring you joy personally, but to create something that opens up possibilities to others, and to share that creative process, is altogether absolutely AWESOME!!! I always praise the fact that you inspire others to make their own works, but now you've gone a step further, and made it possible for so many people to not only create, but to collaborate with you as well!! You have spearheaded a truly amazing form of creative endeavors for anyone and everyone, and helped to share the joy that comes from such works on a whole other level!! Like I have said before, you inspire, you share, and you help make art that reaches out to many different avenues!! That is why you are forever going to be one of the absolute greatest content creators out there!!!!
Loved the Video Last week! I am very excited to see how you Rp this! Thank you for making such Fun Dnd Characters
I want more!! I didn't think anything could top last weeks video but double roleplay is so fun! You did a great job editing and can't wait to see more Aisling & upcoming content 💚 Take care Ginny~
I have been following your stuff since back in your Not Literally days, (Still watch Carol of the Brains every December) but this may have just taken over as my all time favorite Ginny Di video. Even if I was not into DnD, its just a fun little skit with silly jokes, entertaining banter and great cosplay. Your tone of voice and facial expressions are also very emotive. You really do a great job of portraying a feeling with the way you move your eyes and mouth. Thanks for continuing to share your passions with us. Also, yes to bloopers and more bloopers. Love it!
This was so much fun to watch! Aisling is such an interesting character and it was great to hear more about her! I hope Nightshade won't be too mad at her 😂💗
I might try this.
I really loved that first list of questions. I wrote them down and plan to use it for all future characters.
Yesterday I literally wrote a 4 page letter from my current character to her family. She was basically saying bye and I love you, because they’re about to go fight a magma dragon, and she’s afraid of fire, so is real scared. My party may or may not ever see it lol.
That's so SO cool. Can you create a hashtag for everyone to use so it's easy to find them and watch them all?
I know this is a bit of an undertaking, but for a long-term project I think it would be really interesting if you made a sort of RUclips RPG. We click on answers and it takes us to a video that goes with our answer until we get to the end. Markiplier and Jacksfilms have done interactive things like this but nothing quite like a fantasy game
I totally want to make a POV response video now... amazing roleplay/editing, the interactions are so natural!
It's all just in time for DnD on Saturday!!! I'll have to go back and rewatch the healer video to get into character! SUPER looking forward to the next ones, thanks Ginny!
Loved last week and so excited at a bunch more of these now and in future 😊
This genuinely was so fun and enjoyable to watch and sparked so much joy. Thank you for creating it
I genuinely love watching your characters interact with each other
Stumbled in here because of Patreon retweeting you. Thoroughly enjoyed it even though I had no idea a scene like this even existed.
Getting the back and forth to flow so well between both of your characters like that is really impressive. I would be crap at doing that myself. lol
This was CAPTIVATING and I don't even do D&D or anything like that! (I found you because of a cosplay video and just like you as a person! hehee) You really sucked me in. Awesome video!
Ahh I love this so much!! Aisling seems like such a fun character, and it's really cool to get a sense of her other party members from her small mentions of them. I would love to see more of these!! It would be funny to see the Bandit Alarm Clock interaction :P
Totally getting Doctor Who "Blink" vibes with this interview. Love it!
This feels like professionally made npc to npc conversations.
You know these follow up videos where you RP with yourself is VERY interesting!
I would love more of those scenarios! They're amazing.
I really like these character development/role playing practice videos! They’re very helpful to flesh out my characters!
This was so fun to watch! I loved learning more about Aisling
I always love seeing Aisling content!! I adore her and your costume! Loved hearing more about her and the video!
I loved this! THANK YOU for such great vids during these trying times
this is so fun!! also I relate so hard to the workout thing and workout adventure actually makes me want to try again!!
This is so awesome, I love these character building videos.
These videos help me so much!! I just wish I had a campaign for my character
I'm not playing in a game right now, but I plan to DM soon. These questions and the list of 50 from before have helped me discover some surprising personality traits for some NPCs. Plus, in my first instinct answers, I have created some neat events or incidents around some characters.
These are amazingly helpful, and I'd love to see more character builder stuff as well as more Aisling content!
Not only did I love this but also THANK YOU for continually introducing me to really cool shiz through the sponsorships that you accept!!! I am totally interested in gameifying exercise - definitely going to check that kickstarter out.
This sounds weird
I love this video but what I really love is the way your healer is clearly using this chat to distract her patients and isn't actually fully invested in the conversation yet pulls off the right level of empathy like she cares for her patients and loves her work but her attention is on the medical needs and the conversation is to make sure her patient doesn't make those needs worse.
Not sure if that is what you were going for or if I'm reading too much into it but if it was it really came across
I saw it in the first video too but I think it shines out so clearly when you added the 2nd half
This is so awesome. You are awesome. If someone complains because they are a cleric they need to work on an alt. ❤️
That was so fun to watch! :D Would definitely love to see more, I love Aisling!
Some of your answers were opposite of mine which is interesting because I kinda though my character and yours sounded similar. Loved this video btw.
Geez, your character is talkative! Mine wouldn't say that much about themselves, revealing only what they wouldn't care others knowing. Awesome video once more!
Yeah, I mean... this kind of video is also only really useful if your character is willing to talk! If they normally wouldn't be, I'd suggest finding a way to justify them being unusually talkative - maybe they're delirious from the pain, or they're more talkative during an adrenaline rush, or something like that. Personally, I don't really see the point of creating a roleplaying character who doesn't engage with anyone, so all my characters are pretty talkative! Roleplay is talking, mostly!!
@@GinnyDi Well I used it to prompt both conversation and reflection, playing my character's silence/subject divertion and still think about what was said. For a video, I agree that you need to be talkative (just imagine if you had said nothing for the whole time, that would have been a weird one haha), but in the comfort of one's home it's still great for more silent type characters, trying to find ways to say things without divulging what you want kept secret. I found it to be an excellent exercise in character building and roleplaying at least!
I love the POVs!!! Also your shirt is awesome!
7:38: The whole video is worth watching just for this moment! xD
Wow this was awesome. I would love to see more like this!
I would love to see you do this with other characters you have made!
