Right! Matt picks on the ‘mudflood’ or resets community too much, but it’s honestly the most interesting and mind opening exercise that’s available in the truth community. It was a deliberate attempt to get everyone alive today to forget our collective history since it tells us so much about ourselves (including how to live or ‘step 2’ doing the work if we study how people that may have been more spiritually aware lived in their day-to-day than modern people who just slave labor all day for things we don’t actually need to survive).
I'm 44 yrs old and have never played D&D, but watching this makes me think maybe I've actually been playing it all my (many) life(s). Once again thanx Matt ❤
Right. Ghost writers wrote hundreds of articles in Dragon Magazine in the 70's and 80's. I still go back and read his development notes. It's all there in the old Dragon Magazine articles.
@@quantumofconscience6538 I agree, instead say "I apologize" this seems to have dignity. I say this because Matt you are far from "Sorry" - Love your work my brother.
I was a Heavy Metal kid growing up in the late 80/early 90's. Most of my Metal friends were Freaks & Geeks who were into D & D but I never made that jump.
Matt, I don’t know if you’re aware of the backlash situation fans have with Wizards of the Coast who bought TSR and made D&D woke a la Disney Star Wars. “Made bad on purpose”, gender fluidity and no bad guys and no races, losing millions, hating own fans, etc. Woke feminist CEO resigning in the aftermath… Same with Magic the Gathering, It’s the same thing with Warhammer, and others.
It's trippy how when you start peeling away layers of a lot of things in this world/realm whatever, things get very weird. I completely agree with your take about how the game came after the fact. This stuff is way too detailed for it to just be a game. I get why you'd want to flesh out the lore and all but this is next level.
Stranger Things and Vecna is another DND series with 911, back to future etc. embedded all thru the series. Black body radiation seems to be what the driving force behind the evil. Like in the Matrix movies when Neo is consumed by the black stuff.
My folks confiscated my D&D collection when I slashed my older brother with my Swiss Army knife during one of our epic fights. Maybe they were right, and it had satanic influence over me. Or maybe I just hated my brother because he bullied me out of jealousy since I was a baby. 🤷🏻♂

Damn Matt! I used to play Dungeons & Dragons heavily when I was in 7th and 8th grade. I enjoyed it, I let my imagination run wild and created a whole bunch of characters. I quit because I realized girls, at the time, were repulsed by it.
lol could have just kept it a secret. Hopefully you no longer change the way you behave for women, although since you are on an obscure video in this corner of RUclips, I doubt it’s still a problem.
Hey Matt, I have a shit-ton of information on D&D, and before I write an entire paragraph or two that you don't care about, would you like to know the current state of it (not the alphabet soup stuff; I mean it's role in video games, pop culture, the degree of information utilized, and the folks playing it), because you're pretty off as far as how integrated it is into the modern zeitgeist. It seems most of the commenters are not really involved, but I promise you, it's role in this place is massive. Thanks for the video though; always fun.
If I got 2 thumbs up, am I to believe I'm not shadowbanned at my favorite content creator? 🤔 Btw, since I'm on a roll...I feel an awkward-odd shudder when I use notnilc terminology. "Content creator" is up there at the top for me. Im sure there's more. I'll keep going...Matt just said he enjoyed playing. I'm in, guy. Autumn sunset DnD around the The Russian rocket stove...😊😊
I am excited so please excuse an early comment, but i wanted to mention this before watching the video in entirety. I do enjoy d&d not gonna lie, but i do get suspicious rolling the dice anymore. When i roll the dice, i tend to roll doubles or the "spooky" numbers over and over like 333 or 666 in different ways. I will roll double 6's more than half the time, and ive tested different dice, different rolling surfaces, ive thrown them on the dang floor! And they roll consistently the same numbers. Im not always into religious superstitions but it makes me think twice when this happens and it doesnt happen to friends... Ive also considered hitting up the casino, maybe im good at craps?! Lol.
Same been playing board games my whole life but over the past couple years I have been rolling doubles triples etc. like crazy just the other day I rolled snake eyes 6 times in a row me and my wife got so freaked out we stopped playing! And yes it was with two different sets of dice! Never happened in my life and I looked up the probability of that happening and it’s pretty much impossible!
It's a subtle initiation. The same thing with World Of Warcraft... at it is is the Occult world in game form. Be sure they're living in another world, another plane.. their own little world. Halloween is their favorite holiday because it's the one time when the veil between their world and our world cross over.
Hey buddy thank you for your consistent interesting "presentations " I'm 52 and you're right we were 11 or twelve and i absolutely loved these games although it was mainly geeks and weirdos that played here in upside down nz.i mostly loved the dice,or die set.🎉❤

This has got me excited ffs! Gonna have to roll one up and head out and listen to this. Some of them old original 1st editions are worth a few bob now.
I believed in 2012 the world as we knew ended and we now live in an alternate world that makes no sense to those that can’t download the new work programming
It's another "Revelation of the Method" and no one person could aggregate such a library of esoteric work without an internet. Gygax must have had access to some giant occult library by some secret society or "Alphabet Gang".
According to his Wiki bio, Ernest Gary Gygax attended classes at the anthropology department of the University of Chicago. That would be the breadcrumb they're giving us for the source of the surplus of information in D&D lore -from- *about* other cultures and ancient cultures.
Thanks for another consistently good program Matt. The game Dungeons and Dragons as it existed in 1980 would never take-off in 2024, for the uncomplicated reason that kids simply don't read anymore.
I've always LOVED fantasy and cosmology of all these fantasy stories and worlds. I now know its occult truth drops and probably bad for us, but I still love it...its been such a huge part of my life and comfort since I was a child. Always had a very active imagination.
I had to step away from WoW shadowlands for a bit. There was a theme throughout entire expansion and it was based around the renting of the movie action Jackson. And, now you can play as a Draconian dragon character.
Stranger Things, Vecna and the upside down world. That series has so much symbolism within it. Black body radiation seems to be the evil force behind Vecna 🤷🏻♀️ If a 7.4 Earthquake hits 80 miles north of Indianapolis then we will know there’s something to it. Black body radiation seems to be the evil force behind Vecna . ..whatever that means 🤷🏻♀️ Coincidentally one of the producers name is Rand Geiger. Lol. You can’t make this stuff up.
Very interesting Matt - the D+G franchise is hugely mainstream plus it's 100% fictional nature is perfect for the necessary disclosure. Allegedly of course. I've never met anyone from the Gygax family.
I think what Matt says about the game being after the fact may point to why this detail appears within the game books. This takes place before the internet. If you want this information to be spread beyond the likes of researchers etc then these books seem like a great way of doing that. Even more so if you want people to have the info without attracting attention. If you have a set of esoteric grimoire type books on your shelf that could invite suspicion, but if instead they're in the form of books for a game no-one will think twice. 999 out of a 1000 of the holders of these books likely rarely even bother reading all the background info as they're focussed on the game. The 1 out of a 1000 initiated ones however may treat them in the inverse way, not bothering with the game and going straight to the esoteric goodies?
WAI......T A SECONDOMG!!! The Knights Templar didn't go "underground" to protect Holy Relics and precious gnosis.... they invented DnD to not only be Monty Python ISOTHG for realz but to transfer the Library of Alexandria into a multi player game of skill, chance and strategy. Bewitched with an anti glamour enchantment. calling to those that are rebirthed from the ones who propagated this plan, this masterpiece of Masterminds. I AM BEING 100% ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE I JUST POPPED IN THAT LAST PUZZLE PIECE. HOLY SH!T... ALL YOUZ FREE KNGHT ILLUMINATI ROSEY MASONS... DON'T COME FOR ME. Or do.. I bet my spark is bigger than yours.
I have an advertently left my body. I have also seen a 3 foot tall, black faceless figure when I was five years old I used to meditate but I learned that you do not have to meditate. It is about living the meditation you step into a room meditate and, then it’s done. You are back to the matrix and all the noisy ambience.
Thanks Matt! I was one of the first wave of ADVANCED D&D (ADD … not kidding) players starting in 1979. Gygax lived 15 miles up the road in Racine, and my buddies and I always joked and made up stories that he lived in a castle, etc. Absolutely loved the game until I hit high school three years later and discovered girls. My mom wanted to whip my ass when I sold the books, dice, and figurines to the library.
I was born into to the christian Cult, Baptist to be exact. We were programmed to beLIEve that all other religions were cults and that we were not supposed to even look into the other cults. In high school my friend introduced me to Dungeons and Dragons the role playing game. I ended up buying some of the books mentioned today. The christian Cult programming was so heavy that I ended up burning those books and repenting for playing such a satanic game. I started to read the bible and over time I came to the realization the the ju deo myths in the bible were no different than the Dungeons and Dragons books I had read. I now know that the bible is used to imprison the mind of whoman consciousness in order to control the masses. When I decided to cast our the evil spirits, father, son and ghost, I stopped feeling like a worthless sinner and started living free from the chains that bound me to those possession spirits. Thank you Matt for more great content. How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and [how] hard it is to undo that work again! Mark Twain “Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man.” -Thomas Jefferson “Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies.” - Thomas Jefferson
The stories are there so we can understand more than our experience has provided. I wouldn't recommend just cutting off these important truths of life.
I agree. Mythology is a tool for the human mind and imagination to interface with the mysteries of existence. It only becomes destructive when people take mythology literally and form religious cults around it.
@@93komuso Anyone who takes this life too seriously is a dangerous person. Which is wild considering how quickly we change and adopt new thinking. There are many normal people walking around today that would have been hunted 100 years ago. Believing they were correct in their justice. Funny thing it is to be human. Don't forget that the stories are there for you, not to be used against you. That is the beauty of parables. Enjoy the ride, anything else is wasted time, and time is ticking.
I played D&D as a kid and still look at some of the books and old modules from time to time. I didn't do a deep dive, but... He created a game called Chainmail in 71 that turned into D&D. He was born in 1938 and died at 69.
Listened to this earlier today, then sat down to read the latest issue of Smithsonian and it has an article about d&d. Talks about the demonic aspects of the game a bit too. And Gen con is coming up, it's getting me too excited. I need to go pet my dog and take a nap
Its fun. People leave their home, go to the tabletop games place. Talk to other people in real life. Have coffee or a soda. Laugh. Smile. Say "goodnite see you next week" after an hour or two.
I played the game from when it was a little boxed set. I met Gary Gygax, but I knew better some of the other guys who wrote those rule books. One let me proof read the rules, and forwarded my changes and corrections for the published editions. I'm sure some were used. But I remember all those printed things about the planes and all. I didn't know anyone who used that stuff, and I don't think most players ever used it. Jim Ward played about the wildest games, but I had the impression he was just making up the adventures and the rules off the top of his head. He wasn't a weirdo or an occultist as far as I could tell. Everyone just seemed like wargameras who had adopted role playing as one of the things they did. Most continued to do what we had started doing, what had already been done: wargames with tanks, battleships, or soldiers on a big scenic board. It was all serious rule driven strategies and tactics in wargames. It involved being able to do quick mathematical calculations of probabilities, combined with measuring out movement and shots on the game board. The best players made up the stories off the tops of their heads and played fast and loose with the rules, except as a general structure. The dungeon master wouldn't let you go backwards even if you caught him violating the rules. He would make up and excuse of how some particular freak occurrence changed the odds of your character being hit by a freak incident. The object was to keep the fun going and not get bogged down in rules disputes. Most of those original players were normal, working, men, geeks, wargaming geeks, having some fun over their beer and chips. There were no girls, although they would have got a lot of attention. Some wives at home, sure, but not gaming wives. Anyway, all the planes information that you are talking about just seemed to be filler - some nut's imagination. I wouldn't be sure Gygax wrote that part, because it was a sort of collective enthusiast's endeavor. Now, I wish I could go back in time and ask around about who contributed that part of the rules.
It's like how I sort of wish I could go back and ask my grandmother every detail she remembers about the Chicago World's Faire. It was her mother who met her father there, but she might have heard things about it from her mother. I didn't think to ask about it when I was a child.
Gary Gygax died a long time ago, but someone wrote a great biography, and it was like a flashback to read it. I had no idea what was going on with the business aspect of gaming at TSR, but they offered me a chance toi buy preferred stock before it went public. There was a time when they had severe financial difficulties just before the game broke big on ET. Is that another coincidence? My parents wouldn't let me sell some gift tock from my grandmother to buy the stock, thinking I would be throwing away my money on my weird fad. I would have been rich, but I was too young to sell stock. But it was wild times in Lake Geneva in that era, and the book recaptured the wild West cowboy era of role-playing gaming, just as its popularity was growing, and people started fighting about the money. Gary Gygax had an Arabian Horse farm in Wisconsin, just like my parents at the time. That had to be a coincidence.
I have to add that I always loved those Wild West atmospheres, where things were happening and the doors were open for anyone with enthusiasm to get involved. Everybody made contributions of ideas and they were welcome if they made sense. Seattle in the Eighties was like that. But everyone was fleeing the high prices and the traffic by the late nineties. It had attracted artists from all over the country in the eighties. Anyway, there is no telling who contributed the well researched astral plane and occult information. As nobody seemed to use it, it might have been a financial backer who asked to include it.
My friends and I played dnd in highschool. We didn't want anyone to know so we said we played Monopoly. Lol. We had alot of 3.5 edition books 100$ of dollars worth. Very late nights going into 4am playing awesome times. The imagination ran wild. It did feel dark at times even resulting in throwing up the energy got so dark. I think the Dm we had really got into it, I swear he was channeling spirits to act out the Npcs. We really got into it. Definitely something to it. its fun but you have to be very careful its like a opening to a type of ouiji board but way more in depth way more detail. Imo. good video, you would be a good DM Matt. And trying to make it into a video game, Idk, the game is so open minded, it would take so much space. Unless they came out with series of Campaign books? But a DM creating their own world with everything all the books have to offer would be to much detail and you would have to add a massive world builder with NPcs, tunnel networks,towns, villages, cities, endless random encounters, quests and endless decisions. I remember playing with my friends and starting in a town and so much random stuff could happen and there never was a end. Just a end of a quest and on to the next quest or if your player died of old age but we didn't calculate time like that. The dms I played with said this game never ends. Until your character dies.
I regret that I only just saw this video now! I absolutely love DND and anything related. I'm sure that it played a huge part in this community in opening people up to the truth in the same way that movies did for you. And DND was the foundation for modern high fantasy which played a huge part in waking me up. Aside from that, the majority of the fantasy genre probably derives from DND! There are many DND video games such as Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nighs, or Dungeons and Dragons Online, and countless ones that were intentionally based on DND such as EverQuest so I can't agree that DND never made it into the video game space. These games all have similar vocabulary, similar "planes" of existence, stat allocation, tropes, references, teachings, characters, etc. as the original DND if not more so just due to how much DND and fantasy lore have been expanded upon since its creation in the 70s.
"Why is it in the game? What's it here for?" To cause us to ask, "Why is it in the game? What's it here for?" Well and of course to assist us in forming belief systems and ideologies just like everything else. It's all mind control to get us to identify with "the mind", a fiction in itself but nonetheless a very seductive illusion.
The books are used to create your own worlds to adventure within, based on this world’s history. This video will get lots of views, also a new (p.c./ woke) version is due out in a few months 5.5Edition.
Another great topic, Matt. I never played these games but went down the occult rabbit hole for some time. It was mind boggling and got complex. Overload on the brain for sure. I now go with the theory........if it's complex it's not real. The occult rituals give people a false sense of power when they are just on another animal farm. They too have been tricked by the higher demon gods/fallen ones, thinking that they have the secret knowledge to spiritual advancement. I read the book, The Spiritual Hierarchies and the Physical World: Zodiac, Planets & Cosmos by Rudolf Steiner and I don't think this is our spiritual world but the spiritual world of the demons. It seems to be set up just like here on planet earth. In the real spiritual world there is no hierarchy like a corporate organization chart. I tend to believe more on the side that the true god is a frequency. You cannot put a face or body on it. The gods with faces and bodies are the fallen ones. They have to use their technology to manifest changes in this world. We are more powerful and don't need the technology, but unfortunately we have been kept in the dark as to our true spiritual abilities. How simple this world would be if everyone would just stop feeding the beast. Walk away and never turn back. But perhaps there are just too many artificial souls here for this to ever happen.
Camazotz= 666 (Reverse English Sumerian) Camazotz is a bat god. "Batman"= 666 in the same cipher as well as "Dragons" hahaha This is a good video thank you for sharing your books. :)
There was an earlier version of this called Gods, Demigods and Heroes. A paper back published in 1976. And yes, even back then when I thought it was odd to say the least. Cool beyond words but odd in that there was this basic game of characters running around super complex underground dungeons and then this master work of the worlds mythology. I also kept much of my original material.
I've only just started watching. I have the same collection. I found my old Gamma World too. I wrote my own module that I still have as well...in cursive even! Circa 1982.
I had access to this in 5th grade. My question would be who wrote those original guides transformed from the original “chain mail “ game? That’s 100s of modern day movies worth of content
@@LowEndBCC Found a cache of PDF's a few years back on some rando deepweb site. Had all the Dragon Magazines also. Every issue going back to the very first one. I re-read a bunch of the old articles. All the different mail-in ads bring back good memories.
Matt, is that the older edition of Deities and Demigods that has the Cthulhu and Melnibonean mythos? Later editions removed them due to copyright. Never mind, you answered late in the video. That's a rare book you own.
Matt I love a lot of your videos...and then some of your videos like this one just make me really confused how you can be so smart and insightful at other times. Because this is just so completely anti-intellectual and just seems to be made to attack imaginative people. This all is "required" to play. The game is more fun the more lore you can weave into the world and for your character. That's the point. The entire game is just imagined in your head. The more the game book can describe of the world the more fun it is. This is just hateful against nerds.... nor your best video I'll say that. And I don't even play DnD. You sound like the bullies that made fun of me and my friends in middle school. Just not cool man. Idk how someone that's created an entire religion and spiritual framework of their own creation for themselves to believe can be so closed minded but it really weirds me out.
First off... with about 2,000 videos made... you gonna like em all? Second... I disagree. The amount of legend, lore, and background information on religious pantheons, gods, and "planes of existence" EXPOSE THIS as being..... "much more than a game." No.. not necessary for the game play at all. I knew nothing of this playing the first 10 modules through Tomb of Horrors....
A player needed one book. The Players Handbook and even that was optional because you could always grab somebody else's if you needed to look things up. The DM needed two books and a way to shield his area. The Dungeon Master's Guide and the Monster Manual. That's it. Everything else was and is optional fluff. Technically all you need to play AD&D is a notebook, a pencil and a set of goofy dice. One person needed to actually understand the rules.
along a similar vein, the white wolf (the 'vampire the masquerade' people) game 'mage the awakening' is a documentary... one could hardly ask for a better description of occult, conspiracy, technological or spiritual reality creation tecniques and information. .
Matt, you should cover the espys. Creepy Sarena Williams is hosting and started right off the bat with 23 and magenta. I have a feeling this will be a juicy Notnilc event for you to dissect.
Matt, you did a deep dive in this before. Remember? How come every time you revisit a topic you act like it's new? You did that before when you did a second video on what Notnilc is and acted like it was the first. Why? I can email you the files you did before of the same topics if you want.
Great commentary on the D&D books, most of the information is useless and pointless IF it’s solely intended for RPG gaming. There could be intention to publish information and veil the information in the cloak of being a game.
as to why so much stuff is packed into the game consider that most writers get paid by the word and this gaming company was just trying to sell as much product as possible while it was hot.
I had a friend in 1980 who lived to play this game, he was "High up" according to him and his group that tried to recruit me to play, I never did... in 1982 he committed suicide. I often wondered, what part this game played a role in his decision?
One just has to look at the imagery to know this is evil. If people want to just explain it away and justify it, then that's on them. People send themselves to hell.
Don't know if you have seen it or done a deep dive on it, but movie: "Project Ithaca" (2019) basically covers a lot of the mechanics of your Notnilc though for the record (I don't believe in off planet visitors). I hope all watching find the real purpose for this life, and it is not the battle field. The battle is real but the purpose for the war is different. Find Jesus at the universal "Cross"ing point and you will find the purpose.
I grew up reading history on medieval times and greek and roman history and mythology and folklore stuff and way back in i think 1985 or 86 i bought the red box DnD, im pretty sure it was the Beginners set, got it the mall's KayBee Toy store when they still existed. Idk, i guess i presumed it was like other games and you just play it out of the box after learning rules,but i got into it and realized its like ya fabricate the game scenarios as ya go and required one person to be a dungeon master manager. Well, i couldnt get any of my friends interested in it and the recent methods of soloing rules systems didnt exist as far as i knew so i just returned it back to store. Lol I mean, i thought, well if im just having to generate whats going on in my imagination then whats the point of needing all the extra mapping and planning and writing story, talking it all out? I can just makeup all that in my imagination.
the mudflood thing makes sense of all the crazy dungeons being basically just buried cities.

Our world is imaginary. If the quantum/Mandela effect I see is any proof. My life is a waking nightmare so I drink of course.
@@colincrawford1111 maybe?
I am excited so please excuse an early comment, but i wanted to mention this before watching the video in entirety. I do enjoy d&d not gonna lie, but i do get suspicious rolling the dice anymore. When i roll the dice, i tend to roll doubles or the "spooky" numbers over and over like 333 or 666 in different ways. I will roll double 6's more than half the time, and ive tested different dice, different rolling surfaces, ive thrown them on the dang floor! And they roll consistently the same numbers. Im not always into religious superstitions but it makes me think twice when this happens and it doesnt happen to friends... Ive also considered hitting up the casino, maybe im good at craps?! Lol.
Same been playing board games my whole life but over the past couple years I have been rolling doubles triples etc. like crazy just the other day I rolled snake eyes 6 times in a row me and my wife got so freaked out we stopped playing! And yes it was with two different sets of dice! Never happened in my life and I looked up the probability of that happening and it’s pretty much impossible!
Wow.. those books… it brought me back!🤓
Me too, random Matt fan, me as well.
Beautiful little cat
It's a subtle initiation. The same thing with World Of Warcraft... at it is is the Occult world in game form. Be sure they're living in another world, another plane.. their own little world. Halloween is their favorite holiday because it's the one time when the veil between their world and our world cross over.
Hey buddy thank you for your consistent interesting "presentations "
I'm 52 and you're right we were 11 or twelve and i absolutely loved these games although it was mainly geeks and weirdos that played here in upside down nz.i mostly loved the dice,or die set.🎉❤
I've never played it, but back in my time, I practiced every kind of sorcery, magic, and witchcraft under the sun.
How'd that work out for you?
@TheHaughtyOsprey It worked out just Jim Dandy. Im peachy keen. I've stored up my personal power and have recapitulated my entire life. 86% of my enemies have perished, and those who remain "They can't touch this"!¡ I'm a fit sorcerer with vim and vigor, and very VERIL .
wHOA 🙀 Holy BLaNKeTY BLANK dude, I just had some serious lightbulb moments watching this... but mostly I just want to Thank You for yr enduring calmness & fierce constitutional steadfastness in "It IS what I SAY It IS" .. this alone, keeps me grounded in the face of storms .. 🙏🖤🦋
4.5 mins in I got the sense that one person definitely did not come up with all this but like everything else, part of the scripting and directing the dream
This has got me excited ffs! Gonna have to roll one up and head out and listen to this. Some of them old original 1st editions are worth a few bob now.
Love it when he says ‘smoke em if you got em’. Know it’s a banger when that phrase is mentioned
Im smoking some Baja Fog!!
I believed in 2012 the world as we knew ended and we now live in an alternate world that makes no sense to those that can’t download the new work programming
Something happened
It's another "Revelation of the Method" and no one person could aggregate such a library of esoteric work without an internet. Gygax must have had access to some giant occult library by some secret society or "Alphabet Gang".
He is a frontman with the resources of notnilC behind him. It’s very likely Gary is not even a real man…
In a sense, it's a perfect example of how "Revelation of the Method" works.....
According to his Wiki bio, Ernest Gary Gygax attended classes at the anthropology department of the University of Chicago. That would be the breadcrumb they're giving us for the source of the surplus of information in D&D lore -from- *about* other cultures and ancient cultures.
Thanks for another consistently good program Matt.
The game Dungeons and Dragons as it existed in 1980 would never take-off in 2024, for the uncomplicated reason that kids simply don't read anymore.
I've always LOVED fantasy and cosmology of all these fantasy stories and worlds. I now know its occult truth drops and probably bad for us, but I still love it...its been such a huge part of my life and comfort since I was a child. Always had a very active imagination.
I had to step away from WoW shadowlands for a bit. There was a theme throughout entire expansion and it was based around the renting of the movie action Jackson. And, now you can play as a Draconian dragon character.
Sad
@@Kat-I-am3333sorry, we can't all be perfect like you!
@@Hero_Of_Old yes, you can, you just don't want to do the work, even knowing shzit is bad for you? Enjoy
How is a "truth drop" "bad for us", unless it isn't truth or truth hurts? Which is it?
Stranger Things, Vecna and the upside down world. That series has so much symbolism within it. Black body radiation seems to be the evil force behind Vecna 🤷🏻♀️ If a 7.4 Earthquake hits 80 miles north of Indianapolis then we will know there’s something to it.
Black body radiation seems to be the evil force behind Vecna . ..whatever that means 🤷🏻♀️ Coincidentally one of the producers name is Rand Geiger. Lol. You can’t make this stuff up.
27:00 I wonder how many kids combined D & D & thé Oijai Board “””toy”””
Plus we added ♟️ chess...
The endless quest books were fun to go through. I still have some of them such as Return to Brookmere...
I lent all my books to a “friend” never got them back😞
hate when that happens
You can find pdfs of most of any type of book for free online like pdf drive or rare books or online archive.
Gotta love a kilt and conical hat combo. May use that in a drawing. What a great resource, wow! That’s a LOT of research!
Ohhhhhh yeah classic AD&D now we’re REALLY talkin’!
💯
Very interesting Matt - the D+G franchise is hugely mainstream plus it's 100% fictional nature is perfect for the necessary disclosure. Allegedly of course. I've never met anyone from the Gygax family.
Been waiting for this video
I think what Matt says about the game being after the fact may point to why this detail appears within the game books. This takes place before the internet. If you want this information to be spread beyond the likes of researchers etc then these books seem like a great way of doing that. Even more so if you want people to have the info without attracting attention. If you have a set of esoteric grimoire type books on your shelf that could invite suspicion, but if instead they're in the form of books for a game no-one will think twice. 999 out of a 1000 of the holders of these books likely rarely even bother reading all the background info as they're focussed on the game. The 1 out of a 1000 initiated ones however may treat them in the inverse way, not bothering with the game and going straight to the esoteric goodies?
No one says hi to me and everyone thinks im wierd
Hi Dude !
Hi
WAI......T A SECONDOMG!!! The Knights Templar didn't go "underground" to protect Holy Relics and precious gnosis.... they invented DnD to not only be Monty Python ISOTHG for realz but to transfer the Library of Alexandria into a multi player game of skill, chance and strategy. Bewitched with an anti glamour enchantment. calling to those that are rebirthed from the ones who propagated this plan, this masterpiece of Masterminds.
I AM BEING 100% ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE I JUST POPPED IN THAT LAST PUZZLE PIECE. HOLY SH!T... ALL YOUZ FREE KNGHT ILLUMINATI ROSEY MASONS... DON'T COME FOR ME.
Or do.. I bet my spark is bigger than yours.
Thank you. You are on to something big.
I have an advertently left my body. I have also seen a 3 foot tall, black faceless figure when I was five years old I used to meditate but I learned that you do not have to meditate. It is about living the meditation you step into a room meditate and, then it’s done. You are back to the matrix and all the noisy ambience.
Thanks Matt! I was one of the first wave of ADVANCED D&D (ADD … not kidding) players starting in 1979. Gygax lived 15 miles up the road in Racine, and my buddies and I always joked and made up stories that he lived in a castle, etc. Absolutely loved the game until I hit high school three years later and discovered girls. My mom wanted to whip my ass when I sold the books, dice, and figurines to the library.
I was born into to the christian Cult, Baptist to be exact. We were programmed to beLIEve that all other religions were cults and that we were not supposed to even look into the other cults. In high school my friend introduced me to Dungeons and Dragons the role playing game. I ended up buying some of the books mentioned today.
The christian Cult programming was so heavy that I ended up burning those books and repenting for playing such a satanic game.
I started to read the bible and over time I came to the realization the the ju deo myths in the bible were no different than the Dungeons and Dragons books I had read.
I now know that the bible is used to imprison the mind of whoman consciousness in order to control the masses.
When I decided to cast our the evil spirits, father, son and ghost, I stopped feeling like a worthless sinner and started living free from the chains that bound me to those possession spirits.
Thank you Matt for more great content.

The stories are there so we can understand more than our experience has provided. I wouldn't recommend just cutting off these important truths of life.
I agree. Mythology is a tool for the human mind and imagination to interface with the mysteries of existence. It only becomes destructive when people take mythology literally and form religious cults around it.
@@93komuso Anyone who takes this life too seriously is a dangerous person. Which is wild considering how quickly we change and adopt new thinking. There are many normal people walking around today that would have been hunted 100 years ago. Believing they were correct in their justice. Funny thing it is to be human. Don't forget that the stories are there for you, not to be used against you. That is the beauty of parables. Enjoy the ride, anything else is wasted time, and time is ticking.
Yet another mind control device.

I played D&D as a kid and still look at some of the books and old modules from time to time. I didn't do a deep dive, but... He created a game called Chainmail in 71 that turned into D&D. He was born in 1938 and died at 69.
Oh.. Gary G. you must be referring to. I didn't know that.
Listened to this earlier today, then sat down to read the latest issue of Smithsonian and it has an article about d&d. Talks about the demonic aspects of the game a bit too. And Gen con is coming up, it's getting me too excited. I need to go pet my dog and take a nap
Its fun. People leave their home, go to the tabletop games place. Talk to other people in real life.
Have coffee or a soda. Laugh. Smile. Say "goodnite see you next week" after an hour or two.
I played the game from when it was a little boxed set.
I met Gary Gygax, but I knew better some of the other guys who wrote those rule books.
One let me proof read the rules, and forwarded my changes and corrections for the published editions.
I'm sure some were used.
But I remember all those printed things about the planes and all.
I didn't know anyone who used that stuff, and I don't think most players ever used it.
Jim Ward played about the wildest games, but I had the impression he was just making up the adventures and the rules off the top of his head.
He wasn't a weirdo or an occultist as far as I could tell.
Everyone just seemed like wargameras who had adopted role playing as one of the things they did.
Most continued to do what we had started doing, what had already been done: wargames with tanks, battleships, or soldiers on a big scenic board.
It was all serious rule driven strategies and tactics in wargames.
It involved being able to do quick mathematical calculations of probabilities, combined with measuring out movement and shots on the game board.
The best players made up the stories off the tops of their heads and played fast and loose with the rules, except as a general structure.
The dungeon master wouldn't let you go backwards even if you caught him violating the rules. He would make up and excuse of how some particular freak occurrence changed the odds of your character being hit by a freak incident.
The object was to keep the fun going and not get bogged down in rules disputes.
Most of those original players were normal, working, men, geeks, wargaming geeks, having some fun over their beer and chips.
There were no girls, although they would have got a lot of attention.
Some wives at home, sure, but not gaming wives.
Anyway, all the planes information that you are talking about just seemed to be filler - some nut's imagination.
I wouldn't be sure Gygax wrote that part, because it was a sort of collective enthusiast's endeavor.
Now, I wish I could go back in time and ask around about who contributed that part of the rules.
It's like how I sort of wish I could go back and ask my grandmother every detail she remembers about the Chicago World's Faire.
It was her mother who met her father there, but she might have heard things about it from her mother.
I didn't think to ask about it when I was a child.
Gary Gygax died a long time ago, but someone wrote a great biography, and it was like a flashback to read it. I had no idea what was going on with the business aspect of gaming at TSR, but they offered me a chance toi buy preferred stock before it went public. There was a time when they had severe financial difficulties just before the game broke big on ET.
Is that another coincidence?
My parents wouldn't let me sell some gift tock from my grandmother to buy the stock, thinking I would be throwing away my money on my weird fad.
I would have been rich, but I was too young to sell stock.
But it was wild times in Lake Geneva in that era, and the book recaptured the wild West cowboy era of role-playing gaming, just as its popularity was growing, and people started fighting about the money.
Gary Gygax had an Arabian Horse farm in Wisconsin, just like my parents at the time.
That had to be a coincidence.
His enthusiasms were more worldly that occultism.
They pooped.
I have to add that I always loved those Wild West atmospheres, where things were happening and the doors were open for anyone with enthusiasm to get involved.
Everybody made contributions of ideas and they were welcome if they made sense.
Seattle in the Eighties was like that.
But everyone was fleeing the high prices and the traffic by the late nineties.
It had attracted artists from all over the country in the eighties.
Anyway, there is no telling who contributed the well researched astral plane and occult information.
As nobody seemed to use it, it might have been a financial backer who asked to include it.
@timothykuring3016 what a wonderfully insightful comment. Thanx Tim 😊
My friends and I played dnd in highschool. We didn't want anyone to know so we said we played Monopoly. Lol. We had alot of 3.5 edition books 100$ of dollars worth. Very late nights going into 4am playing awesome times. The imagination ran wild. It did feel dark at times even resulting in throwing up the energy got so dark. I think the Dm we had really got into it, I swear he was channeling spirits to act out the Npcs. We really got into it. Definitely something to it. its fun but you have to be very careful its like a opening to a type of ouiji board but way more in depth way more detail. Imo. good video, you would be a good DM Matt.
And trying to make it into a video game, Idk, the game is so open minded, it would take so much space. Unless they came out with series of Campaign books? But a DM creating their own world with everything all the books have to offer would be to much detail and you would have to add a massive world builder with NPcs, tunnel networks,towns, villages, cities, endless random encounters, quests and endless decisions.
I remember playing with my friends and starting in a town and so much random stuff could happen and there never was a end. Just a end of a quest and on to the next quest or if your player died of old age but we didn't calculate time like that. The dms I played with said this game never ends. Until your character dies.
I regret that I only just saw this video now! I absolutely love DND and anything related. I'm sure that it played a huge part in this community in opening people up to the truth in the same way that movies did for you. And DND was the foundation for modern high fantasy which played a huge part in waking me up. Aside from that, the majority of the fantasy genre probably derives from DND! There are many DND video games such as Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nighs, or Dungeons and Dragons Online, and countless ones that were intentionally based on DND such as EverQuest so I can't agree that DND never made it into the video game space. These games all have similar vocabulary, similar "planes" of existence, stat allocation, tropes, references, teachings, characters, etc. as the original DND if not more so just due to how much DND and fantasy lore have been expanded upon since its creation in the 70s.
The silver cord is in Ecclesiastes, the third book of Solomon
"Why is it in the game? What's it here for?" To cause us to ask, "Why is it in the game? What's it here for?" Well and of course to assist us in forming belief systems and ideologies just like everything else. It's all mind control to get us to identify with "the mind", a fiction in itself but nonetheless a very seductive illusion.
Hey Matt, my kids are digging the sounds of Alpha.
Love you man.
Yea.. my favorite.....
The books are used to create your own worlds to adventure within, based on this world’s history. This video will get lots of views, also a new (p.c./ woke) version is due out in a few months 5.5Edition.
Really?!
Oh No! :0
LMAO.
I was watching some of the old LOST episodes now i know the ending and its pretty interesting. They do have Revelations with the S written in it...
Another great topic, Matt. I never played these games but went down the occult rabbit hole for some time. It was mind boggling and got complex. Overload on the brain for sure. I now go with the theory........if it's complex it's not real. The occult rituals give people a false sense of power when they are just on another animal farm. They too have been tricked by the higher demon gods/fallen ones, thinking that they have the secret knowledge to spiritual advancement.
I read the book, The Spiritual Hierarchies and the Physical World: Zodiac, Planets & Cosmos by Rudolf Steiner and I don't think this is our spiritual world but the spiritual world of the demons. It seems to be set up just like here on planet earth. In the real spiritual world there is no hierarchy like a corporate organization chart. I tend to believe more on the side that the true god is a frequency. You cannot put a face or body on it. The gods with faces and bodies are the fallen ones. They have to use their technology to manifest changes in this world. We are more powerful and don't need the technology, but unfortunately we have been kept in the dark as to our true spiritual abilities. How simple this world would be if everyone would just stop feeding the beast. Walk away and never turn back. But perhaps there are just too many artificial souls here for this to ever happen.
Camazotz= 666 (Reverse English Sumerian)
Camazotz is a bat god. "Batman"= 666 in the same cipher as well as "Dragons" hahaha
This is a good video thank you for sharing your books. :)
There was an earlier version of this called Gods, Demigods and Heroes. A paper back published in 1976. And yes, even back then when I thought it was odd to say the least. Cool beyond words but odd in that there was this basic game of characters running around super complex underground dungeons and then this master work of the worlds mythology. I also kept much of my original material.
I've only just started watching. I have the same collection. I found my old Gamma World too. I wrote my own module that I still have as well...in cursive even! Circa 1982.
ZARA IS SOOOO GORGEOUS!!!!
The Royal Mail here in uk have recently released a D and D stamp set - the artwork is pretty good
Oh my God it's getting so weird!!!
I had access to this in 5th grade. My question would be who wrote those original guides transformed from the original “chain mail “ game? That’s 100s of modern day movies worth of content
All the people involved were very active on Dragon Magazine in the 70's and 80's. Second Edition AD&D is literally a compilation of magazine articles.
@@ameliaward7429 i admire the style . Like Matt said, they compiled all that before the internet. I remember those magazines! They were awesome.
@@LowEndBCC Found a cache of PDF's a few years back on some rando deepweb site. Had all the Dragon Magazines also. Every issue going back to the very first one. I re-read a bunch of the old articles. All the different mail-in ads bring back good memories.
Tramp Artwork is still Amazing
You wouldn't believe Matt the manner in how you sorta backdoor wingman'd with that rocket stove video for me. 'Preciate it man honestly 🤣
Have fun stormin da castle!!!!
My first psychonaut adventure
I enjoyed it and prepared me for the new age, for better or worse…
Matt, couldn't all this be true of all those weird online RPG games that people play today too?
Had all those books once
Matt, is that the older edition of Deities and Demigods that has the Cthulhu and Melnibonean mythos? Later editions removed them due to copyright. Never mind, you answered late in the video. That's a rare book you own.
I played Dungeons and Dragons on a Apple Macintosh computer when computers came to schools.
Quetzalcoatl was in the first movie Twilight just fyi
This game was designed by A.I....totally not human.
I enjoyed the info & artwork of AD&D books more than playing.
Reminds me of the 2017 movie 'Dark Tower'. It had a few large actors in it.
Oh no. There go the grimewares following Matt!
The thumbnail. 😂
The Deities and Demogods is worth hundreds upon hundreds of dollars is it has all original published mythos
A huge number of these characters from all these mythologies are all around 15 to 20 foot giants
Gary Gygax once worked for an insurance company, so that, to me, makes him suspect…
Matt I love a lot of your videos...and then some of your videos like this one just make me really confused how you can be so smart and insightful at other times. Because this is just so completely anti-intellectual and just seems to be made to attack imaginative people. This all is "required" to play. The game is more fun the more lore you can weave into the world and for your character. That's the point. The entire game is just imagined in your head. The more the game book can describe of the world the more fun it is. This is just hateful against nerds.... nor your best video I'll say that. And I don't even play DnD.
You sound like the bullies that made fun of me and my friends in middle school. Just not cool man. Idk how someone that's created an entire religion and spiritual framework of their own creation for themselves to believe can be so closed minded but it really weirds me out.
First off... with about 2,000 videos made... you gonna like em all? Second... I disagree. The amount of legend, lore, and background information on religious pantheons, gods, and "planes of existence" EXPOSE THIS as being..... "much more than a game." No.. not necessary for the game play at all. I knew nothing of this playing the first 10 modules through Tomb of Horrors....
I'm sorry you were bullied in school for being into d&d.
You didn't deserve that, and I hope you can heal from it.
A player needed one book. The Players Handbook and even that was optional because you could always grab somebody else's if you needed to look things up. The DM needed two books and a way to shield his area. The Dungeon Master's Guide and the Monster Manual. That's it. Everything else was and is optional fluff.
Technically all you need to play AD&D is a notebook, a pencil and a set of goofy dice. One person needed to actually understand the rules.
@@quantumofconscience6538 Btw, nice job keeping those books so pristine. Wow.
@@quantumofconscience6538 call him a troll.
along a similar vein, the white wolf (the 'vampire the masquerade' people) game 'mage the awakening' is a documentary... one could hardly ask for a better description of occult, conspiracy, technological or spiritual reality creation tecniques and information. .
Why do you think all the gods have -2 armor?
Some of those old D&D books are worth some good money
Man I used to love to play that game when I was like 12/13
Matt, you should cover the espys. Creepy Sarena Williams is hosting and started right off the bat with 23 and magenta. I have a feeling this will be a juicy Notnilc event for you to dissect.
Or seemingly
So if this existence is just too much to cope with it's ok to escape in any way you can or want?
No.
The game persists even when we make choices we believe will end it. Game on.
Matt, you did a deep dive in this before. Remember? How come every time you revisit a topic you act like it's new? You did that before when you did a second video on what Notnilc is and acted like it was the first. Why? I can email you the files you did before of the same topics if you want.
Great commentary on the D&D books, most of the information is useless and pointless IF it’s solely intended for RPG gaming. There could be intention to publish information and veil the information in the cloak of being a game.
Eh th ear eee all (syllables)
Another thing that is exactly this are the MUD realms. Interesting.
And I thought 3-D Chess seemed complicated.
Dat RICEist
Yeah, Camazotz was used as the name of the evil planet in A Wrinkle in Time. Which came first? D&D or Madeline L'Engle's book?
You're way more real than Joe Rogan
My older brother still has those same books!!
as to why so much stuff is packed into the game consider that most writers get paid by the word and this gaming company was just trying to sell as much product as possible while it was hot.
But then the information doesn't exactly need to be accurate.
I'd pick Nirvana in case Cobain is there ❤
I had a friend in 1980 who lived to play this game, he was "High up" according to him and his group that tried to recruit me to play, I never did... in 1982 he committed suicide. I often wondered, what part this game played a role in his decision?
One just has to look at the imagery to know this is evil. If people want to just explain it away and justify it, then that's on them. People send themselves to hell.
Don't know if you have seen it or done a deep dive on it, but movie: "Project Ithaca" (2019) basically covers a lot of the mechanics of your Notnilc though for the record (I don't believe in off planet visitors). I hope all watching find the real purpose for this life, and it is not the battle field. The battle is real but the purpose for the war is different. Find Jesus at the universal "Cross"ing point and you will find the purpose.
"JJ what am I doing here"
I grew up reading history on medieval times and greek and roman history and mythology and folklore stuff and way back in i think 1985 or 86 i bought the red box DnD, im pretty sure it was the Beginners set, got it the mall's KayBee Toy store when they still existed.
Idk, i guess i presumed it was like other games and you just play it out of the box after learning rules,but i got into it and realized its like ya fabricate the game scenarios as ya go and required one person to be a dungeon master manager.
Well, i couldnt get any of my friends interested in it and the recent methods of soloing rules systems didnt exist as far as i knew so i just returned it back to store. Lol
I mean, i thought, well if im just having to generate whats going on in my imagination then whats the point of needing all the extra mapping and planning and writing story, talking it all out? I can just makeup all that in my imagination.
