a guy rolled 2 20's and made a dwarf in heavy armor fly by flapping his arms really hard
Ah yes, amazing a flying heavy armored dwarf flapping his arms, normal shit
That's - that's not something you see everyday
I don't think I'd allow that. There's limits to what nat 20s can do.
@@LnPPersonified Precisely. Unless your game is running off Rule of Cool or Rule of Funny instead of the standard rules, a Natural 20 on an ability check only means "the best possible result under the circumstances." Flapping of arms is never going to make a dwarf fly. The best possible result is that someone passing by thinks the dwarf is putting on an impromptu street performance and throws a few coins. ;)
I wonder if he's still flying in the clouds today... (lol)
I love how this video doesn’t just help a new player before going to a game, but me as DM to remember a great outline to explain when a newbie shows up. Good work!
Thanks!
Played my first day in a campaign ever, and I didn't know anybody going into it. The people who play this game are so knowledgeable, but kind and understanding enough to want to help me play along. Love this game.
"Just go." Well, I'd love to, but finding a group is the difficult part haha.
I have no friends who have any interest in *"nErDy GaMEs"*
@@ami876 this is so true
Well, I have a group, but nobody completely explained me how to play DnD. I know the basics, but I often have to ask what dice I have to use next and what I need to think of next.
@@ami876 Most nerds don't even know what d&d is. In the states it's a very niche hobby but where I'm from it's literally non existent xd
@@hwdp2558 It may have been niche years ago but its pretty much mainstream now, you can buy official books at Target lol
This is it. I came here BECAUSE didn't really understand what saving throws were or what you roll the dice for either. You not only told me both of those things but also gave me ample information about the game itself. Thank you, I'm definitely subscribing
Thanks! Happy gaming. :)
OK. So I have officially decided YOU should be the only one to be on RUclips to help newcomers learn how to play DND. Your explanations are clear and concise and you go slowly enough to help us keep up. Great job and keep them coming! And of course, Thank you!
You're too kind. :)
I want more videos!!
Totally!! I always end up going back to his videos!
I have been wading through “how to play D&D” and “how to DM” for months on RUclips. This is the first time I’ve walked away feeling closer to actually being able to play or run a game.
I can't seem to find anywhere to play online, (partly because my e-mail got fucked up) could you point me to some online group or site where i can go?
i’m super duper dyslexic and have ADHD so the enormous rule books made me think i’d never learn. you’re a life saver dude!
I'm an spaniard English teacher and I'm starting to use D&D in small classes of 2-3 students. Eventhough it's extremely hard to play as a DM in my second language I enjoy it a lot, thanks for your videos!
You should be Teacher of the Year :D
Teaching English through roleplaying games? You, sir, are a genius! =D
I wanna be in the room where it happens-
Lol I love how you're an English teacher but you said "eventhough" "an Spaniard". Eventhough is not a word, they are two separate words, "even though". Also, It's "a Spaniard" in English we use "an" before a vowel sound and "a" before a consonant sound. Here's an example. "An Lamborghini" is wrong, it's "A Lamborghini" you also still use "a" before y's and w's. For instance "an wonder" isn’t right even though w is more of an open less constructed sound, it is still a consonant, along with y in "an yellow". The precursor word should allow the a or an to easily flow into the next word without restriction. "An elephant" can be said as "anelephant" because the n allows the resetting of the vocal muscles to allow the next vowel to be said directly from the last letter without the need to reset and start a new vowel, whereas "a elephant" requires the breaking of the flow of speech unless you mess up the word and say "uhhelephant" but even then, you have to change the conformation of your vocal muscles mid speech to start the new vowel and you must accent the beginning of each vowel successively which sounds conflicting and unnatural. Hope this helps :)
@jameswillie Thanks for your reply, I do what I can! However, I think I have improved in two years. Btw, in Spanish we pronoumce an e before the s, so that is the reason to my mistake.
Solid start to what will be a fantastic series. Good work man.
Thanks, Jeremy!
don't think to much into it when it happens it happens
Me and my friends are all new to DnD and were gonna try out our very first campaign soon, thanks a lot man.
How’d that go because thats what my buddies and I are doing
@@luisegene2023 How'd your thing go because my buds and I are gonna try this.
Just joined a dnd club and this honestly helped so much
Dude last night me and my cousin decided to try dnd. We went and bought the starter kit and since we have no one that is experienced we went through the rules together. We decided that next weekend we will start and over the week we get to know the rules. This video basically summed up what took us 2 hours to get in 9 minutes
No joke, I was just looking for something like this. tyty
same!
About to start my very first campaign as DM.. This stuff is so good to have handy.. Definitely suggesting my players to watch these videos..
I tried watching a "beginner's guide" with a guy named Sherlock Hulmes and while he annoyingly spends the first 5 minutes of his 30min essay on how not to dress for D&D you actually explain the game core and dynamics in a couple sentences and without silly little "vlogger" gimmicks and editing to overextend your video for that extra profit. Thank you, glad to see someone is doing it right
Hahaha you've almost made me curious to what that video is about, I used to play 2nd edition with a DM that worked at TSR, Inc. and 'how not to dress' wasn't even a thought, since no one cared about that.
You complain a lot, that video was actually very useful and you might have understood a drop of it if your attention span was greater than 2 minutes.
This is the only class where I’m not bored out my mind
A good friend of mine got me into playing years ago and to teach me, had me organize the game as the DM using his manuals. A bit of an unorthodox approach to teaching a newcomer but it worked; he was able to participate in the game, giving me a clear example of how to PLAY, and help coach me as a DM which gave me a great understanding of the inner-workings, rules, and so on.
Appreciate you, man. Rediscovering D&D during this long hiatus at home. Teaching my wife how to play. You are dusting off some serious cobwebs and I'm very thankful for that. 👍 Subscribed
Oh man! These are the kinds of videos I needed when I was starting out. Your older videos certainly came in handy, but these Rule School videos are going too be incredibly useful for new players.
try man
Excellent stuff Nate, thanks! I like the way you condense the core mechanics of the game into a couple of elegant guidelines about how to play, and dice rolls - works really well.
Finally, someone who doesn't talk fast and uses visual props to assist learning!
Thanks so much!
Oh thank you so much... been playing for 5 weeks and learning as I’m playing but now understanding a little more on why things are done.
Man loving the presentation here this works for even me, very specific & clear details love it.
hmmm first time actually knowing what D&D is when i was asked to possibly play it next week with some ppl from school. heard name dungeons and dragons before but never knew what it was...
This is so helpful. I’ve been confused about how to roll in combat for so long and I finally understand. Thank you
This is great! Both for myself as a novice DM and my gaming group who are still trying to learn all of the rules! Very well organized, clear and concise!
Dude YESS I love the way you’re explaining things and you don’t ever forget any detail or loose end. Your desciptions are precise and enjoyable. It’s a pleasure to learn DnD from you, thanks so much for these vids ur the best!!
Great stuff Nate ! Very clear and concise.
Thank you so much for your D&D videos. My wife and I recently purchased the Fifth Edition Starter Set, and your videos have given us an idea how to get going, making it much less intimidating. We look forward to seeing more in your series
Thanks. It means a lot for me to hear that. Happy gaming to you both and I hope upcoming videos will be of great help!
Nate this is great. A no nonsense, non-aggrandized way of giving small details to new players in a series. Thanks so much for doing this!
You should have more likes and views for this. Been looking to get into D&D and needed more information on how things work. This series has helped me so far. Thank you!
Super concise and easy to understand! Thanks for making this series; can't wait for the next video!
THANK YOU! Fairly new to all this (played a bit before but not much) and soon to DM for first time. This is a very nice breakdown of my meaty manual. Easy to watch and understand- super grateful!
I'm terrified of making any mistakes while playing or before playing or anything like that. So I'm just watching a bunch of RUclips videos for newbies and wishing some patient long playing dungeon master will take me under their wing.
Hey loved you video. I've played d&d off and on for over thirty years. I'm starting out my new generation of player's and I'm coming into the new rules blind, so thanks for the refesher course! 🤗😀
This is OUTSTANDING! Thank you so much for this series! Just discovered this!
Thanks for the videos man you helped me get my nephew to learn d&d he enjoys so much now you have my respect and gratitude
Nice Background! And even better illustrations! You clearly put a lot of work into the presentation!
You are an extremely underrated channel, I have no idea how you don’t have at least 2 million subscribers, you have been a massive help to me and others! Thank You
I've been looking for some school-friendly videos to point my after school students to. Excellent job man!
Looking forward to this new series! I'm a veteran of 2nd & 3rd edition, skipped 4e and moved to Pathfinder. Now I'm playing 5th edition. It's great to be a part of D&D again! I love the simplicity of the new rules. Thanks again for this series. Even an old school veteran like me can use a refresher on the rules!
Once again this was really helpful to us beginners,thanks Nate
Great job. Looking forward to the next episode in the series.
who else is here because of baldurs gate 3
I love that BG3 is getting people into D&D!
I just had my first session last night. I really enjoyed it. You're helping me learn what basic ideas and tips I should use and its really making me want to play more haha
I have recently wanted to start playing this, and this helped so much!!!
Thanks so very much for making this video! Very straight forward and easy to comprehend without all the fluff. As a DM, this video is a perfect reference for DND first timers. Keep up the great work! ✌️
Trying to start a DandD club at school but neither myself or the students have ever played before so this has been excellent to help us get started. Thank you 😊
THANK YOU. I love this explanation and I’m glad you could refer me to new DM campaign ideas. I wanted to start out premade so I get the idea to create my own.
I came back home and met an old friend. Him and his friends play D&D and so i joined them for an evening at first to just hang out. I found out i love the concept of D&D and now i want to play :)
Very well done! Direct and to the point!
AWESOME! thank you for the video. I am learning a lot from these videos. looking forward to the next one.
Thanks I wanted to play dnd for a long time now and this is reinforcing what I know about dnd’s key requirements. 😊
as a starting dnd player, i really enjoyed this and its basic so i can understand it without freaking out. thank you very much.
Starting to see why people love the D&D world... Just subscribed. Just started to learn.
I've been watching the Paint to Life channel and the Facility D20 channel. But as awesome as they are (and they are), you're the first to explain rules and the hows.
Very cool.
Just about to start my first game in many years. Just found this channel. Excited!
Thanks so much. I was really confused about armour class so this has been a great help.👍👍
I love that you called the DM her!! I've been a player for years but I'm now branching out to try my hand at DMing myself
Very new to the game but I love it so far. You were the most helpful out of any video I watched and your attitude is great!
Thanks so much!
An excellent video! Really useful, and with all concepts crystal clear. Thanks!
Outstanding. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you. Our group is almost complete and I NEED to learn now.
OMG A DEMAGORGON IS ON THE TABLE YASSS
Never played D&D before, but always wanted to. So I’ve started to DM. I need these desperately, thanks man
Awesome video Nate! Can't wait for more!
Thanks, Jeff.
Oh dear, having not played in 40 years my family have decided I have to DM their next play session of the New Year. All their books and stuff look, feel and read so differently from my misremembered and very hazy thoughts on the game and what the rules and tables were for. So thanks for helping me get back into the proverbial saddle and get back into this amazing game.
Haha! Good for you, Stuart. I'm sure they'll be in good hands with you. Glad I could help.
I was falling asleep reading the rules online. Thanks for the vid!
I found my group tonight, damn. Most fun I've had in so long honestly 😂
"Ask questions if you like". - My advice, always like! Always ask questions about the scene, even if you have to think about a question for a moment or two, the DM will rarely reveal all you need to know unprompted, either because he forgot, or there are secrets you need to seek out actively.
I play again D&D after a break of 20 years +.
I was used to AD&D 2ed, D&D 5e is very good and i decided to swap to this last édition. Your vids are a great help after reading the PHB. Thanks. Greeting from France.
Omg I love this just from the start the whole classroom backdrop LOL
As a new DM who grew up on 2nd this really helps!
Awesome video Nate!! Thanks as always
I'm arranging and playing my first game with a few friends online. This video is so informative and so very useful. Thanks! ❤
Glad it was helpful! Happy gaming!
Keep it up man! These are so great!!
We’ve been doing a few mock battles to get ready for our actual campaign. I worked it out with the DM that I could just be a skeleton wizard. In one of our battles, me and one of my friends fought 2 baboons. I died due to my head being smashed in by a rock, but im not technically dead according to my backstory, just a pile of bones on the ground. So, I convince my friend to throw my skull as hard as he can at one of the baboons, he roles a one. So in turn he throws me a singular foot and the baboons are stnnued for two turns because they are absolutely laughing their asses off at the pathetic throw.
Sounds fun
Nate your the only youtuber who tells me in a understandable way
Thank you so much for this. I just got fifth edition and was not looking forward to learning a new system from that dry book. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
You explained this so well! Now I understand.
I wish I had found you when I first started playing. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you! = )
Ah I can’t wait to show this to my new players! Ty so much for this, I’m not good at explaining stuff and they can go back if needed or if they forget something! Ty ty ty!!
Enjoying your content IMMENSELY
Solid and fun video to learn the rules!
Fantastic video, thanks for the gift!
Awesome! Very accurate and informative!!!
Looking forward to more episodes!
At the end thank u so much for the armor class stuff. I couldn't figure it out but now I know!
I love how this isn't just an explanation for people who have SOME experience with the game, it's also targeted at people who have little to none and it's very nice
I don't know why that detail of it stuck out at me but it just makes it neato
As someone who hasn't played in about 15 years (3.5e), I appreciate this video. I got invited to play with a few of my youth group kids. Thanks!
Thank you for making D&D eXciting to me
I started watching TableTopTerrors and they explained it well to an extent but then I still had know idea how to play I just knew what the stuff did, then I watched your videos and now I'm gonna play my first game so TYSM :D
I’m trying to become a DM from the get go. Only played dnd once or twice years ago and I NEEDED this video.
This is what i needed, i hope the next videos you talk about how to use the other dices because i only know how the d20 work.
Definitely will!
This was great review! I’m relatively new but have general experience in the game and thought this helped clarify some questions.
Great!
LOL. "unusually happy ending. . " Nate is used to being crushed? Great video and use of environment man. Entertaining.
Well done, Nate! This looks like it will be a great series!
Thanks!
@@WASD20 that wedding ring is my kryptonite. Grrr
Great Video. Loved it. Can't wait for more...
Cool. Thanks for the comment!
Had a miserable day but your video made me smile again. Thank you nate
Aww, sorry to hear that, Nick. Hope your week gets better and I'm glad a funny looking bald dude talking DnD could cheer you up for a bit. :)
I concur... Great job and a perfect start!
Thanks!
Starting tomorrow as a noobie with my brother after wanting to play for years. Can’t wait to rock my Leonin Barbarian!
