This video was freaking PERFECT. Concise, incredibly easy to follow. Phenomal organization and visual aids. Man it’s an actual masterpiece. Usually these lore dumps are a slog and legit I didn’t want it to end. When everything wrapped up I could have watched 30 mins more, I was like “wait!! What happens when the worlds merge!!! Tell meeeee!!”
Really good video, there's a few too many sound and visual effects though, the content is really good and well written I think if enjoy it more if it was the forefront, the screenshakes, sound effects and transitions are really prominent
Great summary video! Back when dragons a giants fought there were many more chromatic, metallic and gem dragon varities. Yellows, oranges, purples etc. They still exist but stay hidden some say until their numbers swell once again
I'm thinking Ed Greenwood should've stretched the time span by billions of years. Considering on Earth, modern humans are 3 or perhaps 400k. And hominids are about 6 to 8 million years old. The last dino was 65 million years ago. Ed is a writer not a scientist. It's what I do in my campaigns. Thanks for your hard work brother.
Fr though, I had it on in the backround, and it just made it completely unlistenable lmao, I hope he doesnt keep doing that because I would like this if it wasnt for all that
this was not meant as an attack or anything. just honest feedback. the writing/audio is very informative. more people will enjoy the video if you take the effects down a notch.
Wow! That was a well-done, concise, and informative summary of the timeline. Thanks for doing the hard work of distilling the essential, big-picture information. Much appreciated!
I never knew that SCP-049 played D&D! I really enjoyed listening to this video. I really do hope that you make more of them on other D&D facts, history, items, etc.
This is an awesome video for any new Dungeon Master - in 20 min or so, clear concise, not too deep , you’ll know just enough to go on about tieing in your campaign to actual D&D history / lore; beautifully done ✅ VERY useful in building a foundation for a campaign. Thank you for consolidating this into a short video - it really helps me with my campaign as I’m strapped for time and was in need of a comprehensive history video of the D&D world.
Age of dawn is the best era you mentioned but before you mentioned their was a time before gods with the Obyrith but in 5e law the oldest as they are not present is the aboleth of the Oerth. These being existed before mortal life or the gods who are basically in short eldritch terrorising being beyond the gods or mortal understanding. I like Dragons & giants but monstrosities as well to aberrations are the best monsters followed by undead or demon as a close 3rd - 4th. What is a dragon or giant compared a Neothelid, Purple Worm, an elder brain, Behir, Beholder, Balhannoth or a Kraken. Most of what I mentioned player have no idea what they are besides the kraken which they still have trouble with. The most terrifying monsters are the ones that the party knows nothing about! Well done video but the blue age/cleansing war is not the beginning for beings lurked in the void long before as the further you venture from the material planes you eventually enter the outer planes & outside that is the void.
Another channel makes an in depth look at each age. Jordphan , check it out. I really like this one though because it’s a comprehensive crash course that plunges a new DM into just enough knowledge to tie a campaign into some legit D&D lore in a concise 20 minute video. Very well done.
Incredible you managed to fit all of this in 20 minutes. I know other videos that go in depth and they are hours long. Really great to get an overview, currently I'm watching some other series that start from the beginning but end at the age of humans, was wondering if there was anything significant between that and the times of trouble (where I know the lore from then on) but sounds like not really.
"D&D lore" is such a weird concept, because there can't really be any. Sure, there are specific worlds with canon storylines, events and characters, but that only matters if you play in those specific settings. There are many different officially published settings, and thousands upon thousands of unofficial ones.
wft is up with the camera bobbing, i got sea sick from watching 1,5 minutes of this. hard pass! others do this without carnival masks and shacking frames. just sayin
i tried to watch this video..really did. but the constant shaking of the text...of the graphics.. it was all jarring .. had to stop it 1 minute into the video.

i rly enjoyed that part of the video. so please keep doing what ya doing.

Great video. I hope you do more of these. Easy to digest and very interesting. You get my sub good sir.
this would be a real nice video, but the constant bobbing effect makes it unwatchable
I have epilepsy and I just got back from the hospital after the vid gave me a seizure. Informative video tho 👌
@@ChrisHansen6900 omg 😟

The effects are a bit to loud but nice video🎉❤
A masterpiece of a dnd lore video. Perfect explanation! well done my friend
I never knew that SCP-049 played D&D!

Haha, your the first to notice the look I was going for 😂

Would be cool to see each separate video on each age in more detail. As for a general overview of the history this video did a very good job!
tysm for the video, I'm new to dnd and trying to learn, probably will make my own story or campaign
Thanks for this! Very nice primer
Nice video would be nice to hear about that clan wars
i dont play D&D or know much about it but this was awesome
You should make make a video for each age going more in depth ❤
Of course ! Will put it on my to do list 😎 thank you for watching 😊

Playing Neverwinter Nights 1 again and I needed a refresh on the Creator Races in particular.
Did a gen alpha helped you with the editing?
This was perfect! Thanks!
Crown Wars in-depth please!
I’d love an expansion on what the dawn age specifically
I loved the video :D
Please Karsus's folly
Of Course! Will add it to my to do list! Thank you for watching:)
Interesting. Never saw editing ruin a video this much before.
thank you 🤍
the constant shaking and zooming and changing color is very distracting. but great content nonetheless !
👍👍👍
that was a lot of distracting foley, I gotta say. Made it hard to understand what was said at times.
I enjoyed the content and you, hated the edits.

Soooo... basically it is a copy of lord of the rings lore with a few changes.
the constant annoying sound effects are unnecessary and distracting but otherwise it's a great video
Sorry your sound and music made me move on -
The constant bounce animations are way too much, too hard to watch, dislike
I'm sorry, this ADHD method of explaining things is unwatchable. It's great info, but I can't with this...
I stopped watching because of all the sound effects. Chill with that shit and your video would have been 100 times better
Christ all these sound bytes are annoying
Thank you
