    We hope you enjoy the new, live acted Session Zero adventures.
    While I (the dm) know the general adventure, the players have no idea what is about to happen, the reactions real and solutions are improv.
    Many years from now we hope to look back at this video, and see the beginnings of something great :)

    It took me longer than I care to admit to twig onto the fact Mullac Drab was Bard Callum backwards.

    Derping aside, hot damn guys, the new setup is amazing! Grats and best of luck to the lot of you with Session Zero going forward! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I saw we're all looking forward to a host of flute-based shenanigans, awkward barbarian social interactions, magical bloodbaths and a literal mountain of dead Timmys left in your wake.

    I don't consume a lot of D&D content. I often find it's too long, I don't much care for the 5e rules, and I don't like comparing myself to other DMs. But I've been waiting to see Josh DM and I'm excited to continue watching this series.

    Minor request, and I'm sure you would have done this soon anyway, but adding this to a new playlist would be great. Due to timezone differences I'm pretty much going to be excluisvely watching the uploads after the fact, so having a playlist to save will make it easier for me to watch the subsequent sessions. *Edit: I see the playlist has now been created.

    Small feedback, don't take it the wrong way, just want to help. I know you want to show off the set you've built, but the camera angles are horrible and protagonists are very smalls in their frames. Lot's of empty space around them. We don't need to see the table and their paper sheets and dice. I don't know the setup you got there, but it would be nice to lower them cameras to their eye level, zoom in a bit and if somebody sits by a window, make the window part of the frame, so we can see outside. Game is about characters, so they should be the center of the frame. In a close up. The hammer is cool, I get it, but like I've said, game is about the characters. I don't look at the props for an hour. Also no need to show his DM's " hiding wall" and the white empty space behind him. There is a windonw behind him. It should be visible what's outside (I know its a monitor. You've put tons of work into making them and we can see crap :).
    It is session zero, so I figured feedback would be wanted.

  • @HelasHandProductions

    I find your lack of actual rules very odd xD Why are they never rolling any actual skills? Just "a d20" always with no additions to the rolls.
    Mostly just curious what sort of ruleset you're using or if it's genuinely designed to be as crunch-less as possible.
    Good story and characters though! Looking forward to more.

      like she rolled a 4 and succeeded anyway, i don't see the point. they'd do awesome with a diceless game where they just went with the most dramatic and interesting story option as they played.
