Forral I know exactly what you mean. All that's missing is the stereotypical camera angle where the narrator walks down a corridor, explaining something all the way, then finishing their sentence just in time to turn and enter a doorway.
YES I seduced a changeling dancing drunk on a table to dance with me and then grabbed him and asked what he knew about the body. Turns out he was enchanted to dance and I saved the party by seducing him with my charisma! I'm playing a teifling version of Heather Chandler rn, so I've got loads of charisma, and no intelligence basically.
This video was actually pretty helpful. I’ve watched some other videos to try to understand the game but none actually explained the basics like you did. My friends are playing d&d and asked me to join once. I did and I was a total noob, didn’t know what anything was or what to do. Hopefully I’ll do better next time. Great video!
Bikaca V I’ve recently joined with a group of friends. We are all pretty new to it but the DM who knows much more is very welcoming and even helps out with rolls like telling us what numbers to use etc.
Bikaca Art Productions how do you not get lumped in with the stranger things bandwagon players, I mean I do like stranger things but I want to play because I’ve been wanting to learn for years even before I watched stranger things
Actually, rolling a natural 1 or 20 only affects attack rolls and death saving throws. While most DMs rule otherwise, you technically aren't supposed to be able to critically fail at picking a lock. This isn't to discredit the video of course, it is a great quick guide to D&D. I just thought I'd add a little trivia for interested people.
Yeah I facepalmed a bit on seeing that he'd included this common rules misconception in a video of the most fundamental basic rules >,< otherwise, a fantastically concise and accessible video!
this video is incredible, not only because it's informative but because of the rediculous things that you do in it thank you as always, Mark! keep doing what you are doing, it's amazing
Should I start playing dungeons and dragons? I am thinking about getting because it looks really fun and unique it but it looks more complicated than most games and none of my friends like board games.
I think you should, me and my friends weren't too sure, but since we made a fairies versus nazis war campaign that lasted 5 months we really saw how absolutely ridiculous and fun it can be lol
@@thedipperdapper3806 Essentially it's set in Nazi germany. The idea was the germans are so powerful that their minds can't be controlled by the fairies, for the first time in human history. So there's a Nazi vs. Fairy war, with the heroes being the Nazis trying to save the human race from being "brainwashed" by the fairies. There were everything from panzers with flamethrowers to fairies with love potions they threw at you. It was a bit chaotic but honestly ended up as a lot of fun, they made it through the portal to the fairy dimension and slaughtered the fairies in their thousands. It was actually just disgusting describing the bodies and blood everywhere. At one point one of the characters Sadolf Shitler fucked a fairy until it blew up. Weirdest campaign I've ever run but one of the best at the same time.
I just had a friend ask me today at work if I wanted to try dnd with him and some others. apparentally they are all new, most of them hardly know anything about it. I knew absolutely nothing about it either and told him ill check out some videos. Now I can politely tell him no thanks.
So happy Mark has his own channel now! I've been wanting to play D&D for so long with my friends but none of us have ever played and they want me to be DM, thankfully these videos and High Rollers are getting me used to it!
just found out w my friends the we play dnd and so they assigned me as the dm. literally just made a story where everyone is a criminal lmao. It’s been like more than 6 yrs since i played the game tho so watching this really helps thanks
This will be really helpful to me my gaming group brings new people into role play all the time and they have no idea what to expect. I'll be sure to link this every time now as a brief tutorial. Great video Mark you did a really good job at keeping it interesting looking forward to your next video
first 15 seconds and i feel mistified finally someone who can explain stuff without it being painfully boring. like i clicked on it and thought "eh, i wanna learn it so :/" and then it sounded so cooooool ahhh
This explanation was really clear, concise, and entertaining. Other people's videos that I tried to watch were 30 minutes to an hour long and were tedious or confusing. Your video helped answer some key questions that I had. Thank you!
god, this seems so complicated- I wanna try this out, but I'm horrible at memorizing even the most basic things so this would be one hell of a trip I might just be willing to take.
@@percussionfellow6168 the best way is to find a party where you’re the only one who hasn’t played & they’re willing to help you out. That way you just learn as you go along :)
In all seriousness though, I do love the small jump cuts you make to new poses and scenery, it keeps the video fresh without feeling like a long winded lecture that unfortunately tends to happen when explaining something in vid form
Thank you for your video. I have absolutely zero knowledge about dungeons and dragons other than its a group game and lots of people are very committed to it once they start. Thank you for the simple explanation.
Dam very concise. Camera angle was sometimes a bit wierd but i liked the overal vibe. Imma use this for reference to help introduce people to the idea of D&D
This is incredibly helpful. As I have no friends that are in interested in d&d my parents and brother said they would play. There is one problem, they have no clue how to play. Definitely gonna show them this video and hope it helps.
Consequences. Seriously though, HUGE fan of these videos, as well as everything on your channel so far. Really giving me the urge to acquire and play some board games. Thank you so much, and best of luck with the channel!
Wow, this was insanely helpful! I’ve been spinning in circles trying to understand all of the rules/ information and you laid it out in a way that was so easy to follow and understand. Thank you x1000!
Me and my friends play a very basic version of DND while at Boy Scout camp outs. We use one or two six sided dice. Our characters are pretty simple, we just pick a race, describe them and if they have any weapons. Pretty fun and a quick way to pass time.
Lol Mark, you're getting so much better at this. Was watching the first few episodes and was worried but you seem to have got the hang of it all and you're making some pretty entertaining videos. Good job, I like the graphics and the format
more to do with the format of the videos, seemed a little hard to follow what you were saying when you were just in the same position for the whole video. Glad to see that you're mixing it up a bit though. I was going to leave a comment back then on the previous videos but I wanted to see how you'd do on your own
I'm teaching myself and playing by myself (I'm gonna use notebooks to keep track of everything) so this vid was very useful! My ADHD is very thankful for all the different shots through this video!
It’s refreshing to see a channel like this with your background versus the streamer with a bajillion video games behind them. Books not video games! ❤️
Thank you for the immediate humour. I was a little overwhelmed at which video to chose as my intro to RUclips dnd guides, and I’m so glad I chose this one. Stress has disappeared. I am in good hands. Looking forward to learning from your vids:)
Pretty good video. My only issue was the mention that a 1 or 20 on ability checks means something special happens. As for as I can tell this is just a homebrew rule that has become widespread among experienced players but in 5e a 1 has a special consiquence only for death saving throws, and a 20 has a special consequence for death saving throws and combat. Neither will determine if a skill check is a automatic failure or success since the modifier needs to be taken into account against the DC.
I just want to say I love your video technique. this video was a treat from start to finish, your work is what I aspire to create and this is the first video I've ever seen of you
So I'm trying to learn how to play this because a guy I'm seeing plays it. I'm already fairly nerdy with video games but this game has allways seemed super confusing when I've heard people try to explain it. But yours is the first video I've actually watched to try and learn and it was soooo much easier to understand! I love that its super simple and basic and makes what my friends said actually make sense now.
This is a REALLY well made video and deserves way more views!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to link it every-time people ask me about D&D or a new player joins our group :)
First video I've watched of yours. First thought was: "wow, that's actually a pretty decent accent! not many americans can do it that well." Then you spoke in your regular voice 😂
Thanks so much dude. My friends play DnD and I have to learn how to play and I didn’t feel like watching an hour long video lol. This was very informative and helpful!
My friends and I are wanting to learn how to play DnD and they want me to be their Dungeon Master so I'm trying really hard to learn as much as I can, this was really helpful XD
Its great Mark! Im soo happy that last year Jingle Jam made you to create HighRollers and now this! As DMs our duty is to spread the awesomeness of D&D to whole world!
Me and my long distance best friend are meeting up soon and she has been talking a lot about this game so I bought her a pair of dice for the game (I know nothing about this game) so I came to this video to learn more and it helped me a lot so thank you! 🙂
I'm loving these videos! I look forward to them especially. I think this channel is a great addition to the community and is really helping to get those who want to play some tabletop games into it. Plus the awesomely awkward house tour model poses are always a plus! XD
Cool! A bunch of my friends and teachers play D&D and I've never had much interest at all in it until recently, when one of my teacher's brought "Here to Slay" and said it was basically D&D but cards and no rp. I LOVE "Here to Slay" so D&D sounds really cool too.
My brother plays D&D with a group of his friends, even bought his own set of dice and everything, and I draw pretty good if I do say so myself so he asked me to draw his D&D characters (it was mostly just 20 questions and showing him a bunch of reference pictures for him to pick out which ones are closest to how he imagined them) and he also shares some of the happenings to me so I kinda wanted to learn the basics so i can keep up since it sounds interesting.
Hahahaha - I came here because a friend who has never played D&D is going to a D&D party and I was hoping for a way to explain what it is all about. I don't know why there was an immediate assumption that I would know anything about it but if we dial back to the period of around 1985 to 1990 - no cell phones and no internet. But we did have the Gauntlet arcade game and the Pool of Radiance RPG video games series and we did have LOTR, The Hobbit, the Magician series, the Elfstones of Shanarra and the Dragonlance series and as correctly portrayed in Stranger Things, we had Advanced D&D. Loved those days and power to anyone who gets into it. In one incarnation I was a Chaotic Neutral Samurai (I had a sword in each hand so two attacks) - Loved it!
Only had one 2 hour session so far and it wasn't super in depth. But for what I've picked up from Highrollers and this, it's cleared a few things up for me. So cheers anyway!
You really helped clarify the complexity of this game. I've been kind of worried about playing this because the rules seem very intensive, but since I'm playing to primarily play with my family, I could easily narrow down our games to these more basic rules. As long as we use our imaginations and work together to create unique scenarios, we should be fine.
Dungeon Master: You are being attacked by a pack of wolves-
Player: Can I roll to boop the snoot?
Misty Ghosts what is this, undertale? are you trying to do a pacifist run?

For some reason this had the feel of one of them videos you watched in science class that you had to take notes on and write about after.

@@marcmarc1967 And the DM could also have the broken end of that lockpick suddenly fly back into that character's eye... :P
Don't forget for the lock to accidentally become harder to unlock. Now not even the master key can unlock it! Good job Rogue!
Agreed, this is a good video, but homebrew crit success or fail doesn't fit learning the basics for the game.

So much nostalgia I used to play d&d and WoW in high school ( me and a few friends were one of the top 100 clans back in 2009)
Pretty good video. My only issue was the mention that a 1 or 20 on ability checks means something special happens.

I've been kind of worried about playing this because the rules seem very intensive, but since I'm playing to primarily play with my family, I could easily narrow down our games to these more basic rules. As long as we use our imaginations and work together to create unique scenarios, we should be fine.
I love that you actually went with stream's suggestion to just keep cutting to weird angles
