As a dice goblin, LET ME HAVE MY SHINY MATH ROCKS 😭 Also, good to know there is actually an introductory site for newbies, now. I'm quite happy to be in an era where D&D has gained so much popularity for social gatherings🥰 (...because I can't interact with people like a normal person, unfortunately😓)
It can be even harder to learn D&D lingo after a decade of playing a totally different system. Also learning the lingo of a new system after playing D&D for many years. I have a friend trying to do the former, while I and a different group are doing the latter. 😹
It occurred to me that growing up with video games helped me immensely when starting DnD; lingo like "HP" and "RNG" are so common to gamers that the extra ones like "BBEG" just fit right in
The most important lingo for DND is DBP. It's very important for everyone to know. What's DBP you ask? Well Dragonborn Puberty of course! Did you know-
D&D lingo isn't half as bad as forgetting that most people don't know a lot of medieval terms. I can't count how many times I have had to explain what a Fletcher does or what a Flail is.
The stars have perfectly aligned for Duke and Ryan George (who both make videos about talking to themselves) to collab on a video about the new DND movie. Please make it happen!
On top of that, imho there's a plethora of "homebrew-lingo" for each table, referring to insider gags or a certain players personality, especially in groups who know each other very well. At my (German speaking) table, we're working exclusively with the English core books, all modules I run are in English, so there's tons of opportunities to lose yourself in translation. One of my favourites is our habit of calling a "Dexterity Saving Throw", in short "Dex Save", a "S*x Dave" - and I think, it's beautiful. Totally adolescent? Sure. Cringy af? Hell yes. But: It never gets old.
Oof, I remember THAC0 from Baldur's Gate. Given how young I was when I was playing, all I got from it was "high number bad, low number good." Had no idea how it was calculated or how it played into the actual combat.
This is hilarious and I think I picked up most of the lingo from osmosis when I learned. Then again, I got the basic books pretty fast and studied long before my first game so maybe that helped bridge the gap for me. Thanks for the new video! Will be at the movie 🍿 🎥 this evening and see you there!
Just got finished with my groups weekly session. Last week my character intimidated the boss into doing what she wanted and this session we all tried to kidnap a child to bring with us on our quest. It did not work because we are all blind apparently but we ended up befriending a manticore instead. Can't wait for our next week session where we try to kidnap a grandma and my character gets to ride said manticore we just befriended
Oh man, I JUST had a session zero a couple hours ago and have a totally new player and we were explaining some lingo so the fact I found this right after is hilarious.
Idea: You make a video about the problems with every D&D class, such as the wizard's squishieness and the warlock's need to take naps. Maybe you could do something where someone makes a character and the DM is like "You sure? It struggles with (INSERT PROBLEM HERE)" and the person picks a new class and the DM is all "Actually, it's not good at (INSERT PROBLEM HERE)" and this just continues for every class.
There was a One Shot Ad-Venture where his friends went on a quest to bring him back! It's on the channel under the "Live" category if you want to check it out!
I will humbly love to play a D&D campaign with you. Recorded, video streamed and live. You can call me a noob, but I read and created 2e campaigns and custom everything at a young age. So... being at your mercy at the expense of everyone's entertainment to attract potential players and DMs, I'd be happy to oblige - I'm serious ! Please message me if this is an avenue you'd like to talk about. Your channel is amazing and I've been following for over a year now.
In our group, we have to say the words "hit points" because HP gives the computer repair techs PTSD. Just as a PSA, do not under any circumstance buy Hewlett Packard laptops, they're cheap garbage.

@@danieldonnert3747 Yeah you right
I would put the adbarian onto a little short of their own just this 1 time.
This man walked into the house of a dude he never met and sent him a text. If I was the dm I'd be wondering how he got my number
oh that's easy, he got the number beforehand so they could work out scheduling
@@kurtmayer2041 that’s a boring answer though.

To be fair, it's the ONLY disease one might want to have. Well until our wallets cure us.
No longer play and STILL have 3 dice sets.
Ngl, before I had actually played, I learned most of the lingo from watching your sketches 😂

i havent still played but i have played the video games and thus now mostly everything from thac0 onwards

Genius, humbly, genius
So does that mean he got you playing? 😊

Looks like ad-barian took a level in bard. Nice!
But only one level XD
Would that make him a bardbarian? Like Mr. Torgue in Wonderlands?

It occurred to me that growing up with video games helped me immensely when starting DnD; lingo like "HP" and "RNG" are so common to gamers that the extra ones like "BBEG" just fit right in
I concur
I agree
idk what BBEG is, i grew up with BAM (Big Ass Monster)😂
"That was my favorite pair of dice" the pain in his voice 😂
For the longest time I thought BBEG stood for Big Bad End Game because I understood it as the big bad you fought at the end of the game.
Me too!
That works too 😀
The most important lingo for DND is DBP. It's very important for everyone to know. What's DBP you ask? Well Dragonborn Puberty of course! Did you know-

never stop making genius content. thank you for the belly laugh
Educational today. i like it.
At least they don´t have to explain THAC0...
No, we´re not having tacos, Jake.
...
Friday is pizza night.

"What's a b-beg" wow that got me
"actually, DM stands for dungeon master"
"Oh, ok" *doesn't question this specific term that ALSO has a second meaning*
So I see that AdBarian has multiclassed into Bard.
Ah yes, back when I saw BBEG and thought it was pronounced bb-bblerrg.
Ok, Duke has to do more musical numbers. It is decided.
Ad-barian survived the dragon?! I'm so happy!
magic the gathering slang can be even weirder. That's the game where you crack a fetch to grab a land from the library
I need more singing Adbarian!!
Duke really out did himself on the sponsor segment this video. Best part of the video
Perfect segue from sketch to Ad(barian). 👏🏻
The best lingo word we have to learn is “Yahtzee”
YAHTZEE! 50 POINTS!
Wait what is happening
The reactions from hearing they hired somebody to help them is priceless. XD
"We're playing on a train?" hey a train heist or train mystery isn't a bad idea!
duke learned fast about the terrible dice goblin disease
the adbarian's segment truly was beautiful!!

Can't wait for our next week session where we try to kidnap a grandma and my character gets to ride said manticore we just befriended
I remember seeing the term BBEG on social media, and it took me a couple of times to realize what it stood for lol
I don't play D&D, but I love this channel! Keep being awesome!
When did Ad Barbarian take levels in Bard
As someone completely new to D&D, this is accurate.
That was one of the best Addbarian's performances yet. I loved it!
Oh man, I JUST had a session zero a couple hours ago and have a totally new player and we were explaining some lingo so the fact I found this right after is hilarious.
Ok but even I had a lil tear after that performance, bravo Ad-Barian.
I have never actually called dice anything other than dice or d-whatevers... I know what the term "math rocks" is but I've never used it IRL lol
This pains me as a forever Dm, but is very relateable.
Ad-Barian now sings show tunes.
Everyone, meet Show-Barian.
Ad-Barian was great! 😂 Also lovely transition. Great work everyone
4:20 lol nice
My players feel this
Hahaha! There really is so much lingo in the game, I almost forget some of it at times :P At least its all usually spaced out when its used :P
I haven’t watched it yet but i know it will be great!
Edit: Yep amazing as i imagened
What?
Ad-Barian is evolving!!
Congratulations! Your Ad-Barian evolved into Bardbarian!
Loved this whole sketch. This has the right vibes for "Who's on First?"
Don't worry too much. This is a real type 2 DM, the dungeon will probably be a Monty Hall full of Snarfs.
"that was my favorite pair of dice" lmao
I really like how everyone at the table still was supportive, even though the newbie didn't know shit. Just like irl ^^
Thank you so much for explaining bbeg
I expect that song to be in the new movie

I’m with the new guy on this. We need to get ride of acronyms ASAP.
ad-barian finally took some levels in bard
Why you gotta call out my inner dice goblin like that? 😅😅😅
Did we just witness the “Ad-Bard-barian”???
We're playing on a train! Lol got me 😂
noted dice goblin is a new disorder
Let us absorb the newbies
It's been awhile, I thought the ad-barian was dead. What happened?
There was a One Shot Ad-Venture where his friends went on a quest to bring him back! It's on the channel under the "Live" category if you want to check it out!

In our group, we have to say the words "hit points" because HP gives the computer repair techs PTSD. Just as a PSA, do not under any circumstance buy Hewlett Packard laptops, they're cheap garbage.
I've waited all along where the newcomers gonna says "W8 the Dungeon Master isn't about a BDSM thingy ?!"
If I hadnt had a crush on this guy anyway already, the bardbarian would have got me there
Playable character? Its player character?
I think I might have the dice goblin disease.
Same-
But… but “P.C.” stands for “player character” not “playable character” 😬
We’ve all been there but… I feel bad for this guy.
"What's your AC?"
"My apartment doesn't have AC"
This is comedy gold!
I died laughing when they came to the conclusion that being a Dice Goblin is in fact a disease.

>that feel when I bought a ridiculous amount of dice for cheap back in the early 2010s before the hobby exploded in popularity and the price for dice went stupid
Just wait until they get into the OSR and have to explain THACo.
I’m impressed at their ability to make a conversation with themselves seem awkward.
that was the best comercial ever
before this video i actually said that "bbeg" stands for "big bad evil guy"
never played before but if i ever did i think it might be funny to make my pc bipolar so every so often i change from the nicest guy ever to complete murder hobo
When i first saw bbeg i thought it meant babygirl because I was introduced to the language of the simps before i was introduced to dnd
sees video length; haha nice
that's the weed number
And then there's me, who sits there and pretends I understand until eventually I have enough context that I do- 😂
This is why I gave my new players a full rundown of all the jargon I knew before we even started anything LOL
1:35 "No no, he's got a point"
3:27 "The Bard is also the Barbarian... Bardbarian"
Never knew what "bbeg" meant til now. i feel dumb for not putting it together
dice goblin = pokemon card collector. change my mind
ADBARIANS RULES!!!!!
This is an unfortunate and painful truth
Thanks it's will help me a lot
Started playing dnd last year
