- Being a first time Dungeon Master (aka a DM) can be intimidating, but Madeline is here to help you with the first steps!
Dungeons and Dragons is a game all about telling stories, becoming a character, and having fun with your friends. It’s set in a fantasy world of swords and sorcery, but whether you want to join a pirate gang, explore a jungle, or take part in a political plot is entirely up to you. Everything is your decision, from what you look like, to how you act, to what happens next. The dice just help you along. Most of all though, it’s about spending time with your nearest and dearest, sharing dwarven ales, and making memories.

When my 8 year old daughter wanted to start playing, I started incorporating her pick a number between 1-20, then she rolls. If she hits the number exactly, she succeeds gloriously at whatever it was, if she's one or two numbers off, she succeeds, but barely. If she rolls a 1, something hilarious happens. She wanted to shoot a bandit with an arrow from across a town square as he was escaping, she rolled a 1 and even though her aim was perfect, a bird flew into the path of her arrow and she stuck it to the bulletin board and the crowd cheered because they thought she was amazing. The bandit got away. It makes the game flow faster than having her constantly checking her sheet.
This is a wonderful way to introduce her to the idea of tabletop roleplaying. 👏
I'll use that idea with my youngest 😆
I want to play with a DM like that! EVERY ROLL IS A SUCCESS! and you can literally do anything.
The ultimate fantasy world, no rules, no failure, everything is permissible.
Madeline's enthusiasm is really contagious lol. Couldn't have picked a better host for these series. 👍
She's like a European Elizabeth Olson, without the weird fingers.
Doesn't hurt that's she's beautiful
I love how concise this is. Well done!
@Michael Johnson lol are you really trying to impress ppl with the amount of time you've spent playing a video game?......Bwhahahahhahaha
I liked this mini vid. It was well put together and delivered!
This is the best simplified way to show my friends!!! Im so great full for this series thanks so much
Those earrings which are swords and at the same time crosses are super cool.
Love these shorts! When my son was 11 and ran Dragons of Storm Wreck Isle these videos and the accompanying series for the set were both awesome. I also love the way Madeline pronounces “call.” Where I live in Middle America the short a abounds.

or get Gary Gygax's book "Role Playing Mastery" & read it.
How to be a DM:
Step 1: say "yes, and" or "yes, but", or "you can try" to every prospective action the PCs ask or suggest.
Just say no.
@@gattzflappa6306that’s lame why would you say no?
2:47 never underestimate the power of cupcakes!!!!
I'm genuinely surprised at how useful this advice is.

Love it, thank you!
Ready to run your first game? Here's everything you need to know!
READ THE BOOKS!
dont read them please
This is fun to listen to (she is a good presenter) but not all that helpful. I was looking for more of a manual, but this was more like the synopsis on the back of a manual.
Deep Dark Fantasies
I wanna play a Raksha-sa Sorcerer Skald of Obliat! The decision making would be so easy - What's the most self-serving action here? Okay, I charisma for that.
Seems like a lot of work for what it's worth in my opinion. I'll stick to playing the games and reading the books
I roll to persuade the beholder
STOP NOW WITH THAT FUN
I was looking for something other
Weirdly enough I find it fascinating to watch this video without sound ... it's like watching a female younger version of Doc Brown orchestrating, I mean explaining time travel, I mean D&D. :-)

Damn, this is all I need to know in 4 minutes? Good thing I didn't waste my time with the PHB, DMG, or MM. This 4 minutes is all I needed to know so I'll run a campaign tomorrow! Thanks so much! 🙄
Step 1 don't play DnD 5e
sorry to say but i doubt you know it ??? but im ready to give it a chance, now that was mistake nr 1 its not about all having fun that is like someone who told all others this is how its done and now all are doing that, but if that is what all feels like dont let me stop you, but that is not that Gamemasters is about, now you want to hear my version i think you have to be loyal to one thing as a Gamemaster and that is the world / the players have to keep themself what ever they want to be that is not youre job to keep the happy or anything.. youre job is to roleplay the world make adventures... let the players handle themself dont protect the playes dont be that nanny gamemaster,,,, and in jump a figher and save the day the players live you are robbing them of being Hero's
what?
