      Yeah, it's one video, from one 3-4 session campaign and I got the impression she doesn't play except that one time.
      I mean she's a sweetheart but she isn't anywhere near a dnd creator.
      It was a little jarring that Ginny D right after got a B, (who's whole shtick is DnD) and Emi got an S.
      Methinks Blaine is a bit biased.

    Ay! Highrollers!
    Edit: Just wanna enlighten y’all on the joys of the show, as Blaine simple didn’t really cover it. I don’t blame him either, as 300 odd hours is a lot of time to sink into a thing, so I’ll try and convince you that Highrollers is a defo A tier! They have 3 different main campaigns, 2 of which ongoing and many, many one shots, so pretty much got everything you’d want.
    The first campaign they did, Lightfall, is a little rough around the edges, as several of them were newcomers, but definitely still worth checking out! The second campaign, Aerois, I would defo give a watch. It is a sci-fi/fantasy mixup with airships, flying islands and cool outer space stuff to go along with it.
    Finally, their most recent venture is a slightly modified Curse of Strahd adventure. Some of the main story beats have been modified so it will still seem fresh even if you have already played or watched through it. Not recommended if you can’t deal with lots of tension and character death, but otherwise give it a watch.
    Mark is an excellent DM and all the players are amazing as well. If you wanna catch up on the Aerois campaign, they recently released 2 Rhicaps, which cover the first 12 or so episodes, but more will be released in the coming weeks, so you could be caught up in no time!

    They’re not necessarily a D&D channel, but Node’s “Call of the Wild” campaign is, at least to me, fantastic. Each episode is fun and engaging and only around 30 minutes long, which makes it a bit more approachable than something like Critical Role. They also use miniatures and such so you can see what’s going on easily. It’s part of what got me into D&D, so I definitely recommend it.

    I personally think the official dnd channel isn't bad if you realize its purpose. Mainly, they post vods of their twitch campaigns, as well as some talks about upcoming products. They have only posted the : "how to play dnd" videos recently, and they were most likely due to newer fans not knowing how to find dnd resources or youtube channels, so they just go to the official.
    Personally I would give them high b, as most of their campaigns are really good. At the moment, I really like Nights of Eveningstar. It is a campaign where a few nobles are trying to run a city, while trying to find out plots against the crown.

I was really excited to click this video cause who doesn't love finding new creators, but this is one of the lowest quality, lowest effort and misleading lists i've seen. Half the rankings he admits he doesn't know anything about the channel.

    One fun thing I'll say about high rollers is that dang "rescue" arc from when they were still on the yogscast channel proper. Spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen
    Essentially the Tiefling Monk goes back to the mini dungeon on her own (with the druid following), activates a trap that was meant for the full party, gets knocked down by enemy and crit fails death saves while the druid as a large purple wolf drags her out. The entire next arc is a mission to help elves versus some orcs and in a temple to get an item to let an archfey revive her with a cost. This got me incredibly invested in this party and what they'd do to help their fallen friends that they've only known for an arc or two

    You're missing almost all my favorites!! Big time creators you need to check out:

    Web DM: Great topical analysis in long-form, and a good amount of charisma to boot.
    Taking 20: Probably the deepest analysis of any creator on RUclips in terms of mechanics, melded into great topics. The "Kill Your Party With *monster" series is particularly fantastic.
    Dungeon Dudes: Also very good mechanical analysis of its own flavor, along with discussion from the two hosts that.
    I hope you would give any of these an S or at least A tier. Check them out!!

    3) Taking20 - DnD Tips for Players and DMs. They've done a host of different topics of discussion, so you may find something you like.
    4) The DM Lair - A channel gives a whole host of advise on different tips for DMs. I think they also give some for players, but a lot of it is for DMs.
    5) WebDM - A couple of guys talking about different things in DnD. Ranging from Player Races to Classes to a whole host of other topics. Their discussions feel like they would fit best as a Podcast to listen to, so there's that.

    AJ Pickett for A, if not S tier. +
    "How to be a Great GM", an easy A tier.
    I'm sure a number of others have already recommended these channels but I figured I'd still mention them.
    AJ posts a weekly lore video, on par with Me Rexx in my opinion, and a weekly live stream.
    Guy has been making GM tips and Player tips that cover every subject related to table top gaming. From building and pacing your game, to manners and practices at the gaming table, to world building and improved Role Playing, he covers it all!

    I’d you ever make a sequel, there’s some pretty decent content creators known as CoolBoyShane and Artistic Rubbish, and there’s also ABD illustrates, who is just... *Mm!* 👌 I’d highly recommend them, and if I come up with any more, I’ll put it into the replies of this comment.

      ABD’s content is great! I didn’t even think of him missing in this video somehow. I love his content (loved his crown of madness one, very cool), and the I like listening to the podcast stuff from the rest of the Shrieking Wizards crew too. And of course HHLR is amazing.

    Highrollers has a main homebrew campaign about 107 episodes long, with "Rhi-caps" to give a good summary of previous chapters.
    They also have a 30-40 episode Curse of Strahd campaign which is easier to catch up on.
    The personalities are great and Mark is an excellent DM. It is well worth giving them a shot

    thanks for shedding some light on creators i might not have considered before, as well as reminding me of some that i wasn't already subscribed to for some reason (seriously, why wasn't i subscribed to XP to Level 3???)
    i do have one question: what about Seth Skorkowski? sure, he's more of a general TRPG channel than a D&D channel, but he still makes good videos (his RPG Philosophy videos in particular are really good)

    if your looking for a shorter form campaign "dnd" youtuber (they mainly do pathfinder) the thrilling intent from the third wheel channel is excellent.
