  • D&D Krakens are a staple of pirate adventures and just general DnD sea shenanigans. But can a Kraken stand against the hat? No! That's why I made a whole adventure about them for Kraken Week!

Decir que eres un creador increíblemente divertido, constante y de una calidad asombrosa para el "poco" tiempo que llevas en la plataforma es quedarse tan corto que ni te empieza a hacer justicia. No sabes cuantísimo me han ayudado todos tus consejos y creaciones para hacer mi primera campaña (y lo mejor es que esta aventura además me viene genial), y lo mucho que disfruto de cada vídeo que sacas. A veces casi siento que te robo por la enorme cantidad de genialidades que compartes con nosotros sin ponerlas tras un muro de pago (que me hubiese hecho imposible acceder a nada por mis ingresos). Para mi, tú encarnas completamente todo lo bueno del mundo del rol: la creatividad, la positividad, la aventura y la experiencia colectiva de crear historias junto con tus amigos y con gente de todo el mundo. Espero que este evento y todo lo que hagas en el futuro salga genial, yo aquí seguiré, esperando cada vídeo nuevo y plagiando tus liches para hacer flipar a mis amigos >:)

    Fun Fact on the inconsistent look of Krakens: That's because they're known for augmenting themselves magically and alchemically to suit their own wants and desires. The default octopus look is actually how they look while young, before modifying themselves. Honestly, in addition to other modifications, Krakens should be one of those monsters that has like 3-4 tables for extra abilities it has. Not only to buff them but to make them distinct from other Krakens. Here's just some ideas for some of those abilities:
    -A Polymorph Form to appear as a Humanoid, akin to a Dragon.
    -A Hypnotic effect across there body akin to some Cephalopods
    -A Poison Effect on it's Tentacles similar to some deep sea fish or sea anemones
    -A Telepathic Network ability letting it guide and control it's minions far easier.
    -A Shell that's a mix of a Turtle Shell and Coral providing them both higher AC and some added coral powers
    I could go on but that's probably enough

    • @TheIronarm
      @TheIronarm 3 месяца назад +6

      Super proud of this enemy. Part of my world’s (Disney music cue) lore is an offshoot of Greek mythology, with the Olympians being worshipped and the titans being jerks, and an early baddie was a previously unknown son of Uranus thinking he’d get an easy victory and rule the world (probably justified since he was about a thousand feet tall), but he severely underestimated the tenacity of the heroes and the strength of the magic. All he got for his trouble was a dagger infused with the purest manifestation of death shoved up his nose into his brain which instantly killed the supposedly unkillable titan, and he fell into the northern sea to fester and rot for an eon. Cut to about a dozen millennia later, a new huge baddie is about to destroy the world, and the new heroes can only come up with one solution, the same death dagger still lodged in the titans brain cavity. Despite carefully planning the underwater expedition, the moment they removed the dagger the desiccated corpse started thrashing around and threatened all of civilization from tidal waves alone. After many deaths of their NPC minions and all but one of their ships shattered, they had to systematically dismember it bone by bone to keep it from regenerating fully and win without giving up the dagger again. Tartarus was able to get a much needed renovation from the bones, and the heroes were able to turn around and defeat the darker foe. The titan kinda had a water attack but technically more necrotic than aquatic, so don’t think he counts as a kraken…

    Thank you for everything you do for the community ❤

    You and Ginny are easily my 2 favorite creators for tabletop rpgs, and this kind of thing is exactly why. This sounds incredible

    Cape Coral is a real city here in Florida 😂😂😂 it's the "Venice of Florida," because it has canals that residents move their boats through.

    Honestly, I don't comment much on videos much, but I have to say, I really really enjoy your videos the more I watch them. They are such high quality and both you and Ginny absolutely knocked it out of the park with this.

    @rosemarywhitney7156 3 месяца назад

    Thank you so much for this!! I am working on an adventure with my lower level party where they are investigating strange sightings and the "thinning of the veil" between their low-magic world and the previously-unheard-of feywild. They dont know it yet, but portals are being broken open and terrifying creatures are coming through. This would be PERFECT for a sea-portal adventure!
    (Should they survive this current one and decide to steal one of the king's ships and become pirates, which is something they HAVE discussed...)

  • @Finding_Arcadia
    @Finding_Arcadia 3 месяца назад +15

    Ya know what's wild?? Ginny & Hat's adventure is a really great analogy for modern Caribbean society. Previous king? Attempting to become decolonized from European masters. Yearly kraken and vast migration? Climate change and megaurbanization causing most locals to move to another country cuz there is little long term future staying home. (Every island is different, don't @ me)

    3) Would recommend to others to check this out.
    4) I hope you all do this again next year. Maybe even play a one shot game as an example of what an underwater game and encounter could look like.

    Just want to say I love this! Storm Rising seems to hit so many of the things I specifically adore. Choice driven gameplay, branching narrative, factions… nautical themes! Kaiju style battles! Pirates! Freaking selkies!? I honestly can’t believe this is a freebie. Well done Pointy Hat, Ginny and everyone who’s made Kraken Week my new fave event!

  • @DungeonsLover
    @DungeonsLover 3 месяца назад

    Thank you so much for doing this, Pointy! Having thematic events in the D&DTube community is a great way for us viewers to be reminded that our favourite creators don't exist in separate universes and actually enjoy each other too. I'm so watching every video on the playlist. Already excited for the next event! Fingers crossed!

    I, for one, would like to thank you for all the incredible amount of work you've put in for this event. You always give us not only great videos but also great game material for free, and now you're giving us a 65 pages free adventure ! As a self concious, kinda awkward procrastinating DM, you inspire me to put myself and my campaigns and adventures out there for my friends to experience. Thank you so much for being the main reason why I've not quit DM altogether.

    You and Ginny have made something so incredible, and I am just blown away by Kraken Week's impact. Thank you all for your incredible work. I cannot wait to figure out a group to play this with. HAPPY KRAKEN WEEK 🦑🦑🦑

    I have a big fight in my campaign coming up and was a little lost in how to handle a big siege like that for the first time. They also recruited factions to help and your siege rules finally feel like a solution! ❤

    This wasn't was I was expecting for Kraken week. I expected a cute video about something underwater themed. However, you have literally planned basically an entire campaign FOR FREE. It takes a lot of gall to drop something like that. Damn, it has inspired me to continue writing my next campaign LOL
    Thank you for constantly exceeded my expectations. You and Ginny are the G.O.A.T.s! :)
    I also hope you are feeling better after that 40 degree fever! ;-;

    I am a bit disappointed that it got immediately overshadowed by previews for D&D 2024; I wish there’d been another week in between.
    Anyway, I’m super inspired to run a pirate campaign now! Thank you very much for this community event! I hope that another one can happen in the future ❤

    Also don't tell @DungeonDudes but I am 100% adding this to my Drakkenheim campaign if my players make the mistake of going near the ocean.

  • @yonikut5245
    @yonikut5245 3 месяца назад +1

    Another awesome video
    A lot of what was presented is literally perfect for my campaign.
    Just like in the adventure the main purpose of the campais gathering allies and assets To fight the BBEG Lich.
    The players are at level six And I've gotten
    the idea that they need an ally with navel assets. Cape coral is perfect for this. The characters already made a name for themselves trying to gather allies and going on adventures To help cities and kingdoms. So they can prove themselves in a council.They will lend their ships to them.
    I'm also looking to cap the campaign At the end of the year with a massive fantasy battle Where the different armies and allies they made can contribute and I think the siege rules are great for that. And even better, I can introduce them now, and later on When I use them again for the big battle , they will already be familiar with them.
    So again, thank you very much.
    And congratulations for kraken weak.

Seriously you're my hero for this!!

    I was about to watch Runesumith's video when this popped up and was like:" Well, this is weird." I had NO IDEA you made this huge community event, dear god, what a fantastic idea.
    I always loved Kraken's and all things ocean-like, so I'm really having the time of day with this community event.
    When I started to watch your videos all that time ago I never thought you would've made it this far on DnD RUclips. I'm so glad I stuck around.
    Love the video, keep this up. ✌️
