The cast of ST did a D&D stream to celebrate the fourth season and the stream chat was filled with people complaining about how slow and boring it was. Hilarious.
oh 100% dnd is childrens golf.
Was it being watched by D&D fans or just ST watchers?
@@koopagrandfleet mostly likely ST watchers
They actually did two sessions of Dnd one was for a christmas special oneshot. Most of the comments on the actual video seemed liked they enjoyed it though! Then again, i didn't watch the stream.
I loved the sessions, especially the second one. B Dave Walters did a fabulous job. The people in the chat complaining have probably never actually played a game. Which is fine; but to expect the actual game to be the same as a TV show is naive.
This guy thought all of stranger things DnD was real, then still wanted to try it. Props to them for the bravery.
Taking those props away for performing the sacrifice. 😳
Such stupid courage.
Well I mean if you were a warlock or cleric or a paladin it would be terrifying. Cause you could basically be as scary as a demigod in history if not a lesser god and be like "have you heard of our lord and savior Keto? Ruler of all the seas so powerful even Zeus asked her for help? Mother of monsters of the sea ocean of life to us?"
I would say a religious bard is scarier.
Next up, the people who watched Critical Role first.
They make elaborate backstories that give the DM an entire city to work with. And the DM has to tell them that he already has a story prepared, but the backstory can always be worked in later.
Reading this hurts me so much cause i just got into DMing and i had players upset at me for not being more like Matt Mercer.
Hey, thats me. I created a city state on a gate to ancient, magical, closed up country, with history backing 200 years to its foundation and 5 Great families.
We will come back to it probably in 3 years of real time. Neat.
That's the difference between those 2 origins, Critters give the DM more to work with, Stranger Things fans less.
There's worse things...
Just make sure that people know that you're not Matt or Brennan and that your campaign settings or storytelling won't be quite as elaborate.
My DM asked me, and another friend to help make cities for his up coming campaign, so I made a couple of small cities, with factions, and guards, and such. I didn't do much as he still wanted freedom in city layout kind of as that way we wouldn't have the map until we were there. I did ask if I could build one for the back story of my character as they come from nobility, they said sure, so I spent a lot of time designing this city, the lore of it, the layout while still giving him the ability to flavor it, and I even got into 3D modeling a bit to make the castle, spent a few hours on that alone.
And after all if that he was like "actually I want to do a completely different campaign now in a completely different world." I was a kinda pissed
My experience with someone who watched Stranger Things was that they thought that every campaign had Vecna in it. Then I had to explain that you can literally do anything and they didn’t understand what I meant.
Every D&D campaign does have Vecna in it, but don't tell anybody... it's a secret.
shhh they can never know the truth about how vecna is everywhere
@@apollo6988 Surprise Vecna
@@fraidnaught9067 and once they'll discover him, it will already be too late. Now bow to your new Undead God!
but...but not even every campaign in the show has vecna lmao
"Okay, people who joined D&D because of Stranger Things sit on the left side of the Table, Critical Role on the right side, Baldur's Gate 3 at the end. What about you? You got into D&D because of... One Shot Quips? Really? You can sit right here next to me... I'm not crying, you're crying."
I got into D&D because I think mindflayers and beholders are cool
@@genericname2747 Fun fact: The MMORPG Tibia used Beholders, but was forced to change the name.
i got into dnd by getting recommended r/dndmemes
@@schwarzerritter5724 Should've named them Belookers
I got into D&D because a friend suggested we play it online during the covid pandemic. We had a lot of fun, and I fell into the rabbit hole from there.
I found out about dnd from Gravity Falls. There was an episode, where they were playing "Dangeons, dungeons and more dungeons". At first i had no idea about real existance of dnd, but after ST i searched it, learned it and now im a forever DM since 2019
Honestly I’d say d&d&d sounded more like AD&D 2 or some old complicated system like gurps
I also found out about dnd from Gravity Falls. Now its one of my favorite episodes from the show
Curse of the Forever DM.
Welcome to the fold
"I'M TURNING INTO PURE MATH, WHAT ARE THE ODDS!!!!*
Isn’t it like, fairly obvious that the creatures coming to life isn’t what’s supposed to happen and that they’re just naming the Shadow Demons *after* DnD monsters?
Very much so
(horrifying traumatic experience happens) wow. this is just like dnd. haha. im going to die now
yeah they literally go through the process of naming them based on the campaign lol
Imagine if the actual Demigorgon showed up, lol. Praise be to the Demon Lord of Madness
Let me tell you, the Upside-Down monster looks far more terrifying than the double-headed mandrill.
Let's admit it: if you really could summon creatures through D&D our streets would be flooded with shy goblin girls and orc mommies, so many they could eat that nightwalker for breakfast
True, also Half-Elf Dommie Mommies:)
Sounds good lol
Wizard
gross
@@Momofan69 dont kink shame 😂😂
Petition for members of the community like Duke and Jacob to cameo in season 5
ABSOLUTELY
Where can I sign
Herehere
I know a Duke/Jacob crossover hasn't happened yet because the universe still exists.
@@DolFan316 if this was a perfect world… Duke and Jacob would’ve colabed…
…but this is not a perfect world
Id like to see "When the new DM finally trys to make his own story"
There is no such thing as "own story"
It's all kit bash of DMs favourite ... stuff and things.
And I am not complaining.
@@12SickOne34
Pretty much, yeah.
To be fair, at least half of all DnD Campaigns could honestly work as some weird extensions of the C.S. Lewis' Narnia...
Tell me if this is unoriginal. A campaign where the players are playing as different kinds of devils, following a plot through the Nine Hells of mystery and danger. There are a bunch of backgrounds for the different devils and there is one who has radiant powers, despite the form they are trapped in. Tell me if its been done before and if so, tell me how it went, and if it hasn’t then I’ll elaborate on it.
@@heatherramirez6141 I can't say for certain, but it probably has been done somewhere out there. But if it hasn't, then the idea is likely a remix of other concepts/stories you enjoyed and mashed together into something brand new (just as all new ideas really are).
I would love that, I’m currently in that position
the funny thing is due to the time period where the show takes place, the characters aren't even playing the same D&D that the fans will end up playing lol
Oh, so _that's_ why the ritual didn't work last session...
What tickles me is that WotC _really_ likes the extra sales that the Stranger Things crowd provided, but WotC also _really_ doesn't want to make the Psion Class a thing.
Well see, it's more WOTC isn't in the market of, ya know, making content. They'd rather write books of fluff and go "YOU FIGURE IT OUT! YOU'RE THE DM NERD!" for actual content.
Psionics for 5th Edition sounds like....ya know....actual work.
@@YourFriendTheComputer
Actual work, that is also weird.
That Class sounds okay, but when you read into it, it gets weird.
@@TheCursedCat1927 Haven't seen the show, what's the psion class?
@@RhantheSlayer It’s just a potential class that can use psionics which is the name for psychic abilities in dnd and there isn’t a class yet that uses them and the joke is that stranger things is about psychic abilities but dnd doesn’t want to add a psychic class even tho it would appeal to the stranger things popularity
They could probably just makes it a sorcerer subclass and call it a day. Wouldn't be as difficult as making an entire class and people would probably still play it for the flavor even if its bad
"I thought the rumors were true and we are all just satanic and trying to bring these creatures to life"
The guy thinks this, and joins anyway...
I have concerns...
That would explain the stabbing...
The fact that this comment is at 333 likes
Sounds more like Yugioh
Two things. Firstly, I find it funny how Stranger Things has made some kids believe DND is Satanic and they have to have their parents tell them it isn't. It's literally the Satanic Panic from the '80s in reverse. Secondly, although I've never experienced this, I've heard of a lot of kids who think that DND is a Stranger Things game where you play as the main characters from the show and fight monsters in an '80s town. Apparently "When do we go to the Upside-Down?" is the new "Why isn't this like Matt Mercer's campaign?"
I recently introduced a friend to DnD who was amazed the game from the show actually exists.
@@iododendron3416 Now THAT is an odd one!
My parents believe it's satanic and they have believed that since before the show came out
Send them Kids on Bikes or Tales from the Loop RPG and tell there are TTRPGs for many different things and D&D isn't what you said.
I haven't watched Stranger Things, but I've dealt with fans of the show... like that kid who made a Batman (monk type character) and immediately asked me if he could have the spell Power Word: Kill. He also asked me several times about the "Dermogorgorn", which I couldn't answer because I was trying not to laugh at his pronunciation.
Ah, if I had a dollar for every time a new player asked for a 9th level spell or legendary+ item right at the start of a level 3 campaign. Ahh noobs.
Answer: Yes, but for that you need to skil mostlyl all you can into another Class than Batman.
Also, point him the Way of the Demogorgon-Informations and to the Informations how D&D (and Tabletops) really work, so he can enjoy the D&D (TTRPG)-Reference-Jokes he clearly did not get the first Time.
Well, to be fair, my DM pronounced "wyvern" wrong, sooo...
@@volosguidetomonsters3440 To be fair, you're most likely to pronounce something wrong when you don't know how to pronounce it.
@@indie_gamer7 Fair enough
The soup joke was the funniest thing for me. It was so damn stupid. And that innocent, calm face. Perfection.
So damn stupid, but I want to know more about the character and why he offers soup to people...
@@deathsheir2035 Plot twist. He actually saved them all by killing the real villain trying to serve demonic soup that once ingested would use their souls to open up a portal to hell that would summon an endless horde of demons. The nice guy act was just that, an act.
There is always one
@@kopicat2429 you seem stressed out, have some soup~
I got into DnD because an ex boyfriend of mine would play it with his friends and wouldn’t let me play. So later when I was dating someone new (my now husband) he said he was going to join a group having never played before and wanted me to play with him. The rest is history. We both love Stranger things too.
That's cute, would watch a movie based on this story
(Also i am happy for you)
@@indie_gamer7 bruh who the hell would watch a movie about that
@@Rigby350 Me
@@Rigby350 I mean, @indie Gamer 7 has a point
How I deal with Stranger Things's fans who want me to introduce them to D&D :
- Send them the Player's Handbook as a PDF and tell them to just read the introduction.
- Tell them to pick the class and the race they want to play. They don't need to read anything more beside the few paragraphs of description at the beggining of what they are instersted in.
- Reassure them that they don't need to fully grasp the rules or read the 300 pages, just the descriptions. If they are not satisfied with the races in the PHB and want to play a human cat, I can give them more options.
- Tell them that once they'll choose their race and class, we will have a one to two hour personnal session to create their character sheet. I will then explain the basics of the rules, and help them imagine a backstory and a personality for their character.
- Tell them that once all of that is done, we will be set. We will just have to find a four to six hour periode where everyone is available to play the game.
- ????????
- Never ear from them ever again.
And this is how you get rid of Stranger Things fans. You're welcome.
To be clear, I'm not a gatekeeper. I love to introduce new players to TTRPGs, and I'm sure there are a lot of Stranger Things's fans that became great D&D players. Let's just say the five I met did not.
So Simple. However, simplicity doesn't do it for me. If you did that with me, expect me having read the entire PHB cover to cover, and have already created 20 characters during each read through, to ensure I understood correctly. Any confusion would be cleared up when I talk to DM proper, and make my character proper. I have about 40 characters for Pathfinder alone, that would likely never see the light of day in a campaign because of my need to create as I read, and they having 0 input from any DM.
this honestly works really well, my brothers only watched the show and was interested in playing after seeing it and had an absolute blast
odd 🤔
Can I get a link to that pdf of the players handbook?
I mean 😭 that is in no way gatekeeping, it's how you are inteoduced to dnd
Hey we have a new guy at the table let's be kind as we introduce him.
*Introduces nightwalker as beginner fight*

The nigthwalker is a balanced fight for a lvl 1 party
Too bad the only thing that never seems to translate over is the cleric's resurrection spells.
Everyone thought Will, Eleven & Hopper died but they came back.
Sorry, Bill.
Right? RIP Eddie.
Eleven literally used resurrection on max in the end of season 4. Guess she multiclassed into cleric.

Funny enough, we have a campaign on Saturday, and we've got a new player as of last weekend.
He plays a female dwarven cleric. His cousin is our dwarven barbarian and they're playing twin brother and sister characters.
Anyways, me and the DM were going over manuals we both own (book and online) and when I said " the Vecna dossier" he piped up with "Oh, Vecna from Stranger Things?". I told him "No, Vecna from DnD that Stranger Things is based upon".
He didn't even realize, after watching the series, that it was based upon a DnD game.
I haven't even watched it and I knew that.
I didn't watch the last season and i could have missed something, but i wouldn't say that Stranger Things Is based upon D&D: it's a serie with supernatural stuff and the younger characthers just use some concepts from the game to explain that stuff
@@graziano2308 Aren't all the monsters from DnD, though?
Like I said, I didn't watch the series but that's pretty much the feel I got from everything I've seen about it.
@@johnpatrick1647 Sorry i didn't pay attention to the last phrase of your comment.
I'll use an example: 4 kids of the main cast play d&d, when they meet a girl with psychic powers they say that she's a wizard; but she doesn't have a spell book, it's more of a sci-fi type of power (later in the serie we learn that the CIA did some experiment on her mother while she was pregnant), connection like that are frequent when the kids are on screen (especially when they talk about a monster), but that doesn't happen with the adult characthers.
I'd say that D&D is not that important in the serie's plot, but it's just my opinion
@@graziano2308 Cool. Cool.
Is it really any good? Worth a binge or nah?
@@johnpatrick1647 i liked it, it makes you want to binge it (it uses a lot of cliffhangers). I think that the 3rd season is a bit different, the monster feel less mysterious; but it's been a while and i don't remember the details (i may confuse the 2nd and 3rd season).
You know it’s accurate when Duke named his character dart
The “that is unfortunate” when the night walker showed up had me dying
Dude has Calm Emotions casted on him constantly 😂
I had a friend who thought vecna and other stranger things monsters were in it. They were like “what? Vecna isnt in dnd? I thought dnd was based of stranger thingys?!”
But... Vecna IS from D&D? ST didn't invent him.
Vecna is in dnd...
“Wait! Is that Thanos from Fortnite!”Bro, this is Fortnite all over again…
But... Vecna is in D&D.
@@azzaelulbrinter1515 Not a D&D character, a Critical Role character. Those are still 2 seperate things.
Never mind I mixed something up there, I just confused Vecna and The Whispered One.
"I think murder is a perfect excuse to end todays session!"
Do you even know how hard it is to find a time where the whole party is free? Especially if 1 of those are going to jail
"Hey dude, can you make it this week?"
"Please stop texting my son, your group _killed him,_ remember!?"
"Ah, ok. But you'd better be here next week!"
One of my ex gfs legit freaked out when she learned I played Vampire The Masquerade, because she thought we actually bit each other's necks while playing.
I mean you can bite everyone's neck while you play but it's not required
"dude what the hell are you trying to do?"
"I'm just a bit thirst bro"
"Bro ...are you trying to get my blood bond?"
@@carljoosepraave2102 is that Jared Leto playing VtM as a method roleplayer?
@@thehuntersburrow7453 What a coincidence! "You can bite everyone's neck, but it's not required" is my ethos
I know of people who left specifically because some players were getting bitey
Stranger things is the reason I teached 15 peopel in one month how to play dnd.
Most was sadly muderhobo, but a few are planning to play again, and some now love the game.
So thanks stranger things.
This is utterly insane. And extremely funny. You're great Duke.
I've been wanting to play for 17 years but something always got in the way. I gave up a few years ago but Stranger Things rekindled that interest and stuff happened and well. I had my first session last weekend and I couldn't be happier. Things are slow atm bc everyone has busy schedules but boy I can't wait for the next session!
ST introduced a lot of people into it and while that comes with some problems I'm glad it happened. There's a lot more people I can potentially play with than there were 17 years ago. It's awesome!
thats so sweet to hear i hope your next session goes well
This is a pretty accurate depiction of how people respond to a nightwalker.
What about dragonborn's puberty ?
Next week, we promise!
(Note, I have no involvement in this channel)
That’s next week
give us Dragonborn puberty
Its still the same week. So next week as promised.
Never watched the show but I think I get the gist.... you should do one with an older player returning and having to play with 5e rules. It was interesting for me.
I had some prior experience with 3.5 with my Dad as the DM and siblings being my fellow players before the show, but it definitely contributed to my interest and later joining of the TTRPG club at my Uni. My favorite college experiences and friendships happened as a result of joining that club. No regrets 😌
i actually started playing because of diary of a wimpy kid in book 7 i think they play a game called Magick and monsters i loved the concept so much i checked out all the 4th edition books at my library and i have been playing ever since😄 changed my life for the better!
Good on you for playing a good edition
Oh hey same! Buuuut I did not know about d&d, so i tried to make my own. When i was 10. I did not know a six sided die can have more sides.
It didn't end well.
Only when i turned 17 i learned about d&d 5e 🙂
I got the 4th Edition books for my birthday and after reading them I knew I'd never play the game
I got my kids into it after they watched a My Little Pony episode featuring a game modeled after D&D called Obelisks & Ogres or something like that. The episode had a character in it that is voiced by the actor that played Q on Star Trek (which is what got me to watch the episode), and the character he voices in MLP has some similarities to Q.
@@logangraham3689 you should give it another try! the 5th edition books are much more streamlined and easier to understand for new players! its also a super fun game!
I'd like to see the reaction from the stranger things people when they see a druid just being chaotic by turning into an animal and messing with a town because they were bored yes that happened in one of my campaigns the druid turned into a bluejay and started stealing everything because boredom.
I like turning into a rat or giant wolf spider when I want to terrorize. I might have to try bluejay next time.
@@volterra8974 My druid went bluejay because they would do things barely out of sight and try to throw the blame on another npc or make the town think it was a spirit just in case you want to try it fully.
I'm playing a druid/sorcerer and my druid thought she should play a prank on a random bard student by turning into a spider and scaring him. She rolled nat 20 to bite the poor dude and then rolled max damage for the attack, so double max damage and poison damage...and then the guy failed his con check. My druid left thinking it was a funny prank, but I've been kindly informed the guy is completely dead and it's not the first time her pranks have ended in innocent lives taken lmao
@@knitwit9447 you realize your character is chaotic evil just by that story right? Have her start singing the doom song from invader zim as a response to pranking
@@johnmcconnell7052 oh yeah she's definitely gonna have to face the shit she's done eventually, because she grew up in a temple that preached compassion for those less fortunate and in pain, so she's trying to fight against some fucked up forces that are hurting the innocent and justifies most of her violence with that. It'll bite her in the ass eventually 😅
I started watching Stranger Things with my gf recently and everytime they play dnd, I have to stop myself from yelling "That's not how dnd work!"
didn't they one shot a monster resistant to fire damage with a fire spell at one point?
@@apollo6988 If iam remembering correctly almost all of them were with 0 hitpoints except for the mage who casted the fireball as a last resort
Thank god I got into DnD because I have several friends who play DnD, and not through Stranger Things or Critical Role. That way, I got to play my first game without any expectations... Though I really do appreciate what series like Stranger Things, Critical Role or Dimension 20 are doing and how they're making DnD more popular. Everyone getting into a hobby needs some kind of access to that hobby, and if pop culture facilitates that, all the better.
I found out about D&D from Gravity Falls tbh
I searched it up, found out the game they were playing was the non-copyright of D&D and started looking more into it!
I've been playing for a while now and I love it :)
I don't care how they started, WELCOME BROTHERS AND SISTERS, CHOOSE YOUR HERO WHILE I WEAVE TOGETHER A DESTINY FOR YOU.
When you said ‘dungeon master’ my captions translated it to ‘Dutch ambassador’😂

“Have some soup”
I need a guy like this in my sessions.
I need this Cleric Soup Domain sub-class.
same.
Oh I thought the soup guy was a bard... hmm...
My druid-friar cast Purify food every time he cooked a stew for the party.
Cleric? Will!?
I've been playing D&D for 30 years this year. I'm glad things like Stranger Things and Critical Role are bringing in new players. Yeah they're a little wet behind the ears but so were we all at one point.
I was a Stranger Things fan before I was a DnD player, but I got started in DnD separately from my interest in Stranger Things. In fact, once S4 came out I was like "oh yeah they play DnD too" obviously they play a much earlier version than I do and of course it's going to be played the way it can translate into a narrative show, which is why it feels so different
As predictable as the ending could be, I had to hold my laughter when the dark hand started materializing, very well made
That stranger things guy will become one of the most invested players any dm will love
Ok but what about DnD lovers who watched ST because it was featured? My friend kept trying to convince me to watch it and that was how she won me over😂
Did you like it?
@@aesliix9975 I have to admit that I only saw the middle of season four. It looks ok but there are other things I’d rather watch
Just played the latest Halloween one shot at my college as Eddie Munson, lmao.
Also, I quite love how Stranger Things doesn’t even recognize the fact that the D20 system wasn’t common place until 2000.
Edit: I know D20s existed back then but they were not easy to come by.
I love, how you show us which character is currently making an expression by putting in the effort to wear a different shirt for each player.
I had this. I run a club at school with 20+ ppl but after one game it dropped because people didn’t think it was like dnd, now there’s only 12 of us and 2 partys
Cue the next video where he has someone fill in for him doing all of the acting, making us truly wonder if it was all real
Yep my family tried to learn playing d&d because they watched stranger things but don’t get me wrong, I did appreciate the fact that they were interested it’s just that they didn’t really understand it when they thought they knew what they were doing, and eventually they stopped because “it took too long”
My friend was so afraid of encountering THE Demogorgon in a random forest. I had to explain that that would never happen (we were in a level 1 campaign)
I actually joined it because of Stranger Things. It has been some years now, i enjoy it very much, and i think i actually prefer to be a Dungeon Master.
I watched this in my car and when the camera started to zoom in and go black around the edges the sun went behind a cloud. It came back out when the guy finally realized the game isn't going to come to life and they all stood side by side
Having played for years I never thought about the newbies from stranger things
If it can suck your soul out from 30 ft away, then it's not killing you, just leaving you a husk.
A living husk.
Like life isn't doing that already.
I think its worse when people join because of critical roll and then berate the dm because they dont do voices or have vast house rules that professional players and voice actiors do.
this happens too much.
My friends and I started playing because if stranger things only to find out that we had accidentally bought 4th edition books and Barnes and Noble
Jokes aside, that is genuinely good DMing to introduce a new player
Just the idea of things coming to life from d&d makes me shudder. Can you imagine the amount of tarrasque that would be running around,or dragons.
Me being a ST fan and a DND player, this video is right up my alley
I told one of my friends once that I was gonna play dnd with some of my other friends, she responded “oh like in stranger things?? That’s so cool!”
……a little part of me died when I heard that
the irony being Duke was certainly at fault for the Night Walker coming to life, since he's the one who believed in it so much ^^
The best part of these new videos is the dicey being at the end no longer gets dizzy and is happy.
This was significantly more detailed than I was expecting!
I'm going to be honest: Stranger Things is the reason why I joined D&D. Well I guess not the reason, but the cause.
I don't know if i had heard of it before i watched the show and tbh i didn't even thing much of it when it was mentioned. honestly it seemed kinda boring. but the important thing was, it introduced me to the concept. then i started seeing posts about collecting dnd dice, random dnd posts coming up on my pinterest, etc and thought "hey wait i wanna do this so bad, fantasy is my main special interest". it had been a while, but finally i was able to join d&d club at my school . ive only been in this a few months, but i am a fucking joy to have in your party
DM: The Nightwalker comes closer, what do you do?
The Necromancer: Oh man I've been hoping for this! I use my Command Undead ability!
the groupmate whispering "read the prompt I gave you" is literally the most wholesome thing ever
Me, walking in to my first campaign:
Other new kid: so what got you into this?
Me: **points at friend across the room miming his bard’s action** his fault. What about you?
New kid: oh, stranger things!
Me: o f c o u r s e
I have nothing against her, she’s nice. She also offered to DM, so, yknow, bonus points
His name was dart from stranger things for those who don’t know dart appears in season 2 he’s a slug that grows up to a demodog then dies in the end of season 2
So he knowingly joined a game that he thought would summon real monsters. That's what's really worrying.
Missed opportunity to have AD-Barian spook everyone at the end.
What is a nightwalker? Pretty much a giant, but much more gangly, disturbing, horror inducing, and undead. Like the embodiment of a malevolent shadow. Not something you’d want to happen upon while out walking at night.
I mean...I wouldn't say I _joined_ it because of Stranger Things. Definitely took it back up after a decade long drought, though (in addition to several other factors, such as podcasts doing it and old friends talking about it)
You know in my first campaign at my house I ran a necromancer villain and I think this video is right, I've seen so many skeletons around my city I think they're taking over
Stranger Things totally got me interested in D&D. Then started watching Oxventure and researched into D&D, played some with some colleagues and then really got into BG3.
The shocking part would be that the DM hasn't watched Stranger Things. It's the best thing Netflix has ever produced and one of the best shows of all time already.
Incorrect! Stranger Things is FAR from “one of the best of all time” status. Not even among the best ON NETFLIX.
@@bionicbirb9104 Millions of people disagree with you. Don't be so sure of yourself when it comes to things that are opinion based anyway. It just makes you look like an unreasonable jerk... Have a good day and try to be better.
But DM. I gotta ask.
Why do dragonborn tails drop off?
This happened to our group,
Two boys (we will call them J and O for their privacy) spent 6 weeks trying to tell me how to run the D&D club I had independently owned and runned for a year.
“You need figures to play”
“I’m a level 16 immortal vampire” (first session)
I eventually had to kick them out on the 7th session because of their behaviour
Most ironic thing, they both called their character dart
I got into dnd 4 years ago because of one of my friends and that freind was OBSESSED with stranger things and would not shut up about it when we were playing and every time there character got remotely close to death they would cry there eyes out. Goes to show some friends are not the beast dnd friend’s
Stranger Things has set up unrealistic expectations in new players on how much time combat encounters take.
i’m surprised that people didn’t know dungeons and dragons even existed before stranger things because of how many other shows and cartoons reference the game.
Fun fact: Dart is the name of Dustins pet mini demogorgon.
we hosted club booths at my school, and I was one of the nerds at the DnD club table. The amount of guys who came up and said "Oh, like from stranger things?" Was really annoying. luckily none of them showed up at the meeting and the club is actually pretty chill.
They show up in the 'hellfire club shirt' and make stranger things reference's all the time as a dungeon master I don't let them do it or they are out
The killing the most lovable character scene killed me! R.I.P. Sam, (season 2 spoiler), (season 3 spoiler), and (season 4 spoiler)
damn, not even adbarian intervened at the end
The downside to ST is that I had at least one player who insisted that every one of the monsters in the game was, “Not the real one. Especially Demogorgon, Mindflayer and, Vecna.” I quickly had to pull him aside and give him a stern talking to because he was being extremely rude. Ever since then ST always leave a bad taste in my mouth.
You've done it. You've finally convinced me to watch the last season of Stranger Things.
My first time playing DND was at my school so after I made my character, I joined my friends in their campaign, and as I sat down. I was fighting a giant snake.
I start playing the "Ordem Paranormal RPG" (an brazilian rpg) with my friend, and then i started playing D&D, BUT NOW I AM AN DM!! I really love D&D and my friend is so exited in my seccions, im so proud of my self!! (Sorry for errors in my pronunciation)
Watching this having never seen or read a thing about stranger things while high is a fucking trip yo
"Don't be silly there is no creature coming to kill us!" top ten moments said before disaster
I could not care less about Stranger Things, but god damn did they have to name their creatures after our game? Now we're known as "That Stranger Things game".
Dude it's literally not a big deal. DnD is in Stranger Things because the creatures love DnD, it's complimentary
@@pandakatiefominz It isn't a big deal, just a slight annoyance XD
This video is perfect in SO MANY levels
I found out about roleplaying games via streams i was watching about campaign in Fallout made with GURPS. It was also a system i wanted to play (still want), but now i am preparing for my first campaign in DnD as a DM
