This is great
Davy Chappy:No it aint
no
I'm sorry. But I see that costume as "Uncle Iroh" From Avatar: The last airbender. I thought you were gonna talk about making an "Uncle Iroh" character that dies. And THAT"S what would torture a party.
Bout time you got the official Dungeon Master uniform. Now you can be legit.
You gotta have Dungeon Master Guy face off with BigDickWizard6969!
my favorite part of this is that several of these are things he has literally said that he does in his games
Torture is ok when preformed between consenting adults
@@Flowtail bruh, this is some high tier masochism

Jokes aside i find weapons having hitpoints interesting. Gives me a dark souls vibe

Well done, you've created a new monster to be added to Monster Manual.
awesome! =]
Kyle Pessell the scary dm
I will pay you to add Jacob in the OFFICIAL Dm outfit to the monster section.
And we thank you, we got a new Mario NPC out of it.
"I just rolled three 4s."
"With a Strength and Dex that low, looks like you won't be playing a Fighter."
Me: With a Con that low, looks like you won't be playing at all.
I've played with an exceptionally low con before...on a 3.5ed wizard (which means a d4 hit die).
I think I had 2 hp with only a 25% chance of gaining more than 1 on each level up. Went through multiple combats (at least 3, probably more like 5) and did not die. Only damage I took was accidentally from another party member and it was subdual (non lethal and goes away quickly).
i'm more bother by the fact the DM referred to "Ability Scores" as "Skills"
@@Femaiden It adds to the torture.
Nothing a Moon Druid cant fix
1 time a was a Sorecerer whith -2 un Con, all muy stats seré shot exept my Charm 20. With that shitthy i play a age 5 Tiefling Sorcerer of wild magic
“What’s that?”
“Umber Hulk”
“Ha! It looks stupid!”
“Suddenly, An umber hulk appears in front of the fighter.”
I see no problem.
ikr, that was funny as hell
thats just fair play on the DM,
Who dares disrespect the umber hulk?
“Wait no”
if i was proud enough to display a mini and some one dissed it, damn right they are gonna have to fight it right now.
"All your weapons have hitpoints and they deteriorate!"
All the wizards and sorcerers: "Neat, sounds like a fun mechanic."
"Oh, thanks for reminding me! Wizards' spells burn from their books after you use them, so you better get to copying!"
"Spellcasting focuses have hit points too. Cantrips damage them as normal spells do."
"your mind is your weapon"
casting cantrips damages your limbs individually, and we'll roll to check for dismemberment after each firebolt.

"...and a spell scroll of True Strike"

And was more valuable that way earlier this year
@@akrinornoname2769 wait for the second wave
Apparently, Wizards can't even learn Cantrips from scrolls, so that sucks even worse than I was thinking it did.
Imagine going to wipe but you stop and accidently cast true strike. Now you have to wait til your next turn to wipe with advantage
You want to buy that dagger. That will be 1 "ELECTRUM PIECE".
You truly are a monster!
Ok, I've got a higher tier piece.
"The shopkeep does not have change."
Ugh, ok, FINE, I've got a pretty good amount of money, just keep it.
"The shopkeep has a high amount of integrity and refuses to accept overpayment."

Player: "I open the door to the next room"
DM (suddenly looking very interested): "Which hand do you use?"
I was gonna say mage hand, but casting it has somatic components...
My DM legitimately said something almost exactly like this. I was holding my holy symbol in one hand and placing the other hand flat on a wall where a disappearing magic door used to be, and she asks, "Which hand are you placing on the wall?" I was like..."Shit, why should that matter??" I never did find out why that mattered. 😞
I’m going to steal this
@@Rosawyn I've had a door that I trapped with a sticking spell, while triggering a fight. Lead to some interesting things while the party maneuvered around the fighter, unable to move and without their dominant hand.
@@RosawynI’m gonna be honest as a dm I do that every like 4 seconds
“Wow!”
*a spell scroll of true strike*
“This is worthless”

"I would like to rage." *flips table*
Can I just cast it right now so I don't have .25# of extra weight on me?
Jacob: We're not using DNDBeyond.
Sam Reigel: So you have chosen death.
Why use dnd beyond tho? you have to re-buy every single book from THEIR store which is absolute bs, use Dungeon Master Vault or just keep them on roll20's vault, those ones at least support actual homebrew unlike the stupid system of dnd beyond

@@rompevuevitos222 Well if you don't already have the books and don't want to use up the space for them, It's a good alternative. Not to mention, you don't have to buy the entire books, you can just buy certain things from the books that you need for just a few dollars.
"The mage casts create water and pours water onto the wizard, permanently ruining his spellbook"
And thats why you buy waterproof spellbooks
.thissiht doneenos I'veeveI .YeppwY
That’s why spellbook pages are vellum rather than paper.
That's why I keep my spellbooks in plastic zipbags while also having them waterproofed. Rule number one of playing tabletop - never underestimate the water.
that's why you get an induring spell book
"Weapons now have hitpoints" Hooray for mending! Praise the wizard!
DM: Oh thanks for reminding me spell Casters, your spells burn out of your spell book as soon as they are casted, you better get to copying! You too Clerics! You just call it a "Prayer Book!" Oh you're a Sorcerer? You know take damage of 1d6 × Spell Level to cast (minimal 1d6).

@@alnu8355 This sounds less like annoyance and more like a DM versus Player Thing, the DM trying his hardest to be the biggest douchebag in the group that even 2 “That Guy” players wouldn’t handle it.
@@Predator20357 I found most terrible annoyances in D&D are Player vs. DM kind of things and it's usually the DM being a dick head flexing his "power" because said DM has no controll in life.
"I'm going to roll individual initiative for each zombie" is more how to torture yourself.
And here we see one of the advantages of the virtual tabletop. Too bad it's got so many downsides too. T.T
@@Syenthros Honestly once you start hitting 20, even in virtual tabletop you might want to group them.
Until you "accidentally" skip someone's turn...
And then everytime a zombie falls u have to roll to see if they stay alive, which will probably happen a lot with a horde so... yeah, fun stuff.
@@Nionivek Aha! But I have a macro to automatically roll individual initiatives for all tokens I have selected! :D
"Alright, you fight 12 bandits...and you all die. Too bad."
"Did you change the battle to account for the two missing players?"
"That wouldn't be realistic."
Imagine balancing your encounters at all lmao
Yeah, at least d&d versions have gotten better about preventing pc death at the hands of a random bar brawl or a tiger jumps out of the bush and gets 4 surprise attacks AND their regular turn before the players can react...
Literally me
"That wouldn't be realistic". The only time I ever have a situation like this is if I have warned the party in advance that there is no possibility of getting through 3 players down. Thankfully, the group I have is rather intelligent and can find work when players are missing. Or we just do a 1 shot to sub for the missing peeps. We only had one situation when a player engaged a fight they could not win while the rest of the party was not there. And the funny part is it was not because the players were missing, they were just three doors down checking out another abandoned house. So what does the Monk do? Punch the spirit that is guarding the book and otherwise not attacking them. I had not even asked them to roll Ini. -smh-
I did that when the problem player of the group decided to go solo. At that moment the evil wizard they let go had recruited an army of gobbos and laid an ambush on the road. The party stayed in the hills trying to finish their quest while the problem player walked right into the ambush.
The gobbos caught him and the wizard made a deal, for his service and help against the players his life would be spared. So the player led the gobbos and the wizard to the player who at that moment were dealing with a necromancer and his zombies.
Now of course the player decided to betray the wizard. But the wizard being a wizard accounted for this and used charm person on the player to pacify him while the gobbos and the zombies duked it out. The ranger died to the warlock, the rogue disengaged from the fight and the sorcerer fought an epic duel against the wizard and won. So did the zombies.
"I'm going to be using a new homebrew mechanic where your weapons have hit points that deteriorate over time!"
So it's _Fire Emblem_ now?
BRO I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING

@@jayhill8892 I played it for almost two years before we quit because it was making us miserable. We felt railroaded from the beginning but spent six months trying to figure out WHY we were doing what the story told us to do. Then it's written so that nothing you do really makes a big difference to the bad guys, you're just supposed to scrape by, getting there too late and missing things until you snatch victory from the hands of Tiamat by the skin of your teeth at the last possible second.

1:00 so in Chrono Cross, at one point you can get a musician on your team. He asks if you want to hear a song in celebration of it. A menu pops up giving you three responses to choose from: "No thanks." "Nah." and "Maybe Later."

@@sarahross975I have a Cleric who's just George Harrison.
That reminded my last DM in curse of strahd:
>Sanity stat that we roll each time we see new undead species and eventually causes us to get behavior/personality and stat degradation
>No paladins allowed
>Strahd is "not strong enough" so now he is a stronger variant with 25 charisma among other things and can also shapeshift into a Balor.
>Some of you caught in the castle elevator trap? A couple of hags carry you away and hack off one of your limbs and also take away the sunsword and the icon of ravenkind and send them to Strahd who destroys them and now you have to later fight him with one arm and no magic weapons. Also your party member that ragequit earlier is also a vampire spawn helping Strahd in the fight.
Aside from the last point (and possibly the second), that sounds neat honestly, as long as some unsaid details are good (i.e. in-world explanations, a bit of forgivingness about it, etc). Brutal mode campaign.
@@celestialtree8602 Everything goes as long as everybody is happy with it.
That's terrible all around jeez
Sanity doesn't sound too bad
I can understand the no paladins rule
This is a problem. Aside from anything else, Strahd is an intelligence caster
I have no words to express my hatred of the last point. I hate that DM
„WAIT, THEY‘RE IN ORDER?“ classic.
that is the OG way.
I HATE THAT SO MUCH. My first IRL friends group's DM was that way. He even made us roll actual d20's for stats.
@@caleb688 D20s? He was going easy on you. Back in the day it was 3d6 and that's the way we liked it!
@@toshomni9478 3d6 is faar more likely to roll an average stat
3d6 means you have a 1/216 chance of rolling a 3, and a 1/72 chance of rolling a 4. Your average stat is 10.5, and almost half of all stats are between 9 and 12. It's decently balanced for pure randomness.
he has the spirit halloween dungeon master costume, so you know he's legit
I actually saw that and I was very happy that the old cartoon is finally getting recognised

@@AuntieHauntieGames is call it ‘split alignment’. One or the other, never between.
THE OFFICIAL DM UNIFORM!!!!
"Congratulations you have gotten your basic needs together, what an excellent 6 hour session."
This was the entire first 4 sessions of the survival campaign the DM decided to run.
We also had magic blocked for like 6 sessions, so of course we had a party consisting of a druid, bard, wizard, and cleric. Only non-magic dependents were me and the rogue (even so, I went eldritch knight).
I like how a quarter of these are actually fine, and another quarter also suck for the DM
Now I can take Jacob seriously, he’s finally in professional attire
No joke, I just started a campaign where the DM just said "There's no common language, instead there's this list of a dozen continental languages that are spoken around the world because why would I ever want to simplify something, right?"
Edit: I quit the game because half of our session time was the DM boasting about how great his worldbuilding is, it got old very quickly...
just tell him that he boosts too much, or yeah, just quit
Yeah thats a red flag for a dm who just wants to read you his fanfic, not play a campaign.
It could be fun if it was abstracted away as int/wis checks that get harder the further from home you are.
Actually, I like the idea of not having common, but having more languages like in real life. Done properly it can help a lot in world building and gives more merit to certain spells, items, and feats. Just needs to be done correctly. If in your campaign you are traveling the world, maybe dont stick your PC's in a situation where they cant speak the language.
@@notbob555 unless it’s abstracted to a degree, or is gradual based on location. Unless you go to another continent most issues will just be slang or things with obvious root words that can Still be understood (the northerners call their leader Jarl and graybeards are basically monks.)
"So the music playing npc joins your party! So anyway, here's Wonderwall."
Nah mate, you gotta start the party off as homebrewed level 0 characters that have, at maximum, ten hit points and pit them against CR 5 monsters
We're also using homebrew stress rules, variant resting, and brutal criticals
Oh, and darkvision doesn't see in complete darkness
oh, a man of culture. May I assume you are talking about Darker Dungeons?
@@HitomiXKaori Yes indeed I am
stress rules u dont even need to homebrew. is in the dmg

Ah so Darkest Dungeon
"uh, I'm gonna be rolling individual initiative for every single one", I'm sorry thats not torturing the party, thats torturing yourself.
Funny enough, my experience has been the opposite. Having ini's rolled individually for a large group of say, 20, has made a huge difference on how my party approaches their encounters and fights. And the real kicker is they even asked me not to use hoards because of how much more difficult the encounter can be. It has become a bit of a norm that the party I have will always have 2 wizards or some other class that has at least 1 reliable crowd control attack. We have a dedicated healer, a character than can fight at range (typically a role passed to our wizard who can snipe with eldritch blast), and a tank to cover the front line. The first two roles tend to fall on people who play a character who can also run in the front line.
Nah I prefer that a lot.
Gives way more depth to players turns rather than having a huge wave of enemies do every single thing at the same time
@@Marpfie i only use group initiative when i am using a stupid amount of the same statblock.
Ugh ur telling me. I hate using horde mechanics because it makes the horde less challenging when the creatures don’t have as much agency do I do individual initiative a lot of the time. Even 10 monsters can be over whelming I can’t imagine doing 20
The Wizard must come back and defeat this monster.
Why would I need to defeat someone who's read the first chapter in my guide on how to DM?
@@BigDickWizard6969 because fireball?

"Personally I think the feywilde is a bit underdone in 5th edition---"
That's it. You are my favorite.
Also I like variant encumbrance -because I'm a masochist.-
Honestly I also like variant encumbrance. I also won't say I hate D&D beyond in and of itself, but I do hate a certain subset of players who use D&D beyond as an alternative to actually knowing the rules at all. This inevitably results in having to explain to them how their character works three times per session.
"all right everyone, we're starting at level one!"
_this hits stronger than it should've_
Technically if you have new people to d&d it's not a bad thing to start at level 1 for session 0 or something like that. You can easily let them skip a level after this session and continue at level 3...
@@blacksarlacc91 I kinda agree, have them level up after one session feels like a great reward
Wait we were not supposed to do that
@@BreakerX42 More experienced players like to use at Level 2 or 3 to skip the "literally anything could 1-hit you" section of the game and start with being able to do stuff.

That fighter had it coming.
he's wearing the Official Dungeon Master's Uniform. Gods help us all
I thought it was the cartoon uniform of the DM
As a DM and player that likes the early levels the most and always starts at Level 1: I am offended.
its really more a problem with 5e. theyre built to be dumbed dow. for newer players because wotc didnt think veteran players would like actually earning things at lower levels
You ever try something like call of Cthulhu or cyberpunk? I also prefer lower level play, but my 5e players hate it because DND is so much power fantasy
@@rikusauske No I didn't. I am the willingly forever GM and have Pathfinder2e as my main game which fixed my complains with 5e. Now I also really like higher Levels haha.
I don't like sci-fi much, but always wanted to try CoC, but never had a situation, or an idea for a one-shot where I would use CoC. Also how adaptive is CoC? Could I use it in a medieval or medieval fantasy setting?
If the fighter was underground it actually make sense that a Umber Hulk appears out of nowhere. That's what they do.
"an umber-hulk" that sounded so sad.
That fighter had it coming
Unironically one of the dms I played with put a party of 4 level 5s against two Umber-hulks.
Khaeldranis they’d have to pretty lucky to have little trouble. Umber hulks aren’t pushovers, and their gaze is likely going to be quite the surprise for any character that doesn’t know much about the underdark. It’s not impossible, but it’s unlikely even with good tactics and smart playing.
@Khaeldranis my dude, it was an ambush, in the middle of a forest.
Khaeldranis preparation can only do so much. There’s hundreds upon hundreds of entirely unique creatures in the underdark. Learning about all of them to the extent that you would know the exact capabilities of each and and every one would take a lifetime, not a quick trip to the library. And even if you could somehow learn most of it, carrying useful equipment to deal with every possible situation wouldn’t be feasible. And in the end, all of your preparation can be for nothing if the dice decide that this is the day you die.

Is it really that bad to start at level one. Cause I was going to start a new campaign pretty soon. My players are pretty new they have only played like half a campaign that I started like a year ago. Should I bump up the level.
Thicclander Yes, I prefer to start at level 3 or 5 that way I have at least some more basic customization for my builds. Starting at level 1 isn’t that bad though.
@@thicclander6785 level 1 is the best level
@@thicclander6785 My first ever campaign (it went all the way to level 19, was amazing) started at level 1. Now that I know the mechanics, I'd pretty much rather start a big campaign at 2 or 3 for subclass stuff.

Not to be that guy, but I'm pretty sure it was more about that specific dungeon being annoying in theater of the mind due to it's complexity.
it works, except for combat more than about 3 enemies.
1:21 We're not gonna use DND BEYOND, 2 years later and this is actually not a bad idea!
"We're playing the Hoard of the Dragon Queen"
Me, who played that as my third session: "That was kinda hard and long, lol"
“Why am I even playing a bard?!”
XD
Its the eternal question really.
I absolutely love the new outfit
Also lots of this stuff has happened to me sadly. and i have many horror stories about it
That is not an outfit, is Jacob's crippling body
Some of these sound like ways to torture yourself. Like "I'm going to roll initiative for every single one."
Agreed, who wants six full hours of combat.
Man I love these skits sooo much!
EDIT: Don’t need help anymore. Keep scrolling. Smart dudes answered already.
Can someone answer a question that’s been pestering me for a while? There’s this page I’ve seen in RUclips videos from WoTC and I need to know the book it’s from. It’s got different weapon pictures and stuff like the falchion, warhammer, war pick, and scimitar. It’s in black and white. Please someone answer if you know it’s been bothering me a whole lot.
seven likes already and not a reply, so here's this useless one because I have time.
Doesn't the base game have War picks and warhammers? Falchions and scimitars are just short swords, in the same way short swords can also be re-skinned as Katanas
This sounds like it's probably from the 3.5e weapon pages in the PHB.

You may be thinking, unless I’m mistaken, of the 3rd or 3.5 edition players handbook, around the section discussing weapons. They have item descriptions along with pictures. I may be wrong tho.
Andrew Hughson I appreciate your diligence.
tbh weapon durability might be an interesting mechanic, if instead of hitpoints it has something similar to points of exhaustion where the effects can be reversed by maintenance and/or paying an npc blacksmith a few silvers to a gold (more for magic items).
You take that hoard of the dragon queen comment back right this instant
Are you trying to torture your players, or start an arms race of pain? (edit): never mind, I forgot, *that's all D&D is*
I always start lvl 3, otherwise I feel all fighting classes are the same and all the spell casting classes are the same, but on lvl 3 you can already tell 2 wizards apart
Honestly the look he had when the "fighter" was insulting the Umber Hulk hit me in the feels
Same, He Was So Sad
Give your party an airship. Boom, fixed that damn book
Thanks, Jacob, I'll be playing with my friends this weekend and needed a guide
My worst experience: "you find yourself in a maze"
My eye twitched when he said they found a scroll of true strike
"We're not gonna use D&D Beyond"
"WHY"
Well that aged... interestingly!
I thought you were gonna give tips for like CoS. Torturing the characters and not the players.
That was amazing. Also, the Toad impression at the end - 10/10. It's like you've watched the Super Mario Bros. Super Show before.
Liked and saved for the post credits bit alone, absolute gold!
This video essential describes the core rules of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e. Pain, suffering and no mercy for the players :D
"We're trying to be positive here on XP to lvl3"
I saw the thumbnail and just started laughing. 10/10.
thank you, i needed that laugh and flash backs from the crap i been through 20 years ago
I personally enjoy every single one of these and can't wait to implement them at my game table.
Me in the beginning: "I have been hearing only good ideas"
Says roll d20 for stats: *"HEATHEN"*
Me later in the video: "thats a couple good ideas" and "hey, I do a few of those things"
Me when I remember the vid title: "oh sh*t, wait a sec"
"We're going to be playing Hoard of the Dragon queen". I feel ya, had the terrible idea to DM It before Rise of Tiamat module
You forgot, "Okay so to determine the order of actions taken for this NON-COMBAT RP session, we will now roll initiative and replace the Dex modifier with a Wisdom modifier."
I definitely do like half of these; Level 1, Durability, Variant Encumbrance (with the coins), Lingering Injuries, and all the wilderness stuff
