    DM: "You can't fly because you're -"
    Dragon: "Stupid, yes."
    = Me imagining why "orphaned and raised by dragons" isn't a common backstory, because "time to leave the nest" involves a lot more screaming.

      The Golden Age comic book superhero "The Black Condor" could fly because he was raised by condors after his parents were killed and he studied the birds until his flapping paid off. He also impersonated a dead US Senator. Honestly, I want to see this film rather than Bruce Wayne's parents being shot as a string of pearls snaps and falls to the ground in slow motion again.

      Its the curse of any group. My 13 year old son has just gotten into D&D really hard and half the time he is telling me about a new character idea he has and the other half he is complaining how hard it is to get a group of 13 year olds together at the same time every week. I told him that lucky for him it will briefly get better when they turn 16 and can start driving and you may find a golden age in your late teens and early 20 when you are in college and find you can play a lot more. But then adulthood hits and it will just get harder and harder until one day it will just not be worth the hassle. I imagine that in my 50s, once my kids are grown, I will find time to play again and will be one of the old Grognards telling stories of 3rd edition multiclassing and prestige classes

    There's such a tiny thing, in the middle of all the surrounding gloriousness in this video, but it's a particularly spot-on ABK observation. The DM's little moment at 1:25:
    "Oh-kay, as youuu... _slap_ the skeleton into pieces...?!"
    I've never played D&D, but I've taken part in enough other roleplays (Warhammer Fantasy, etc.) to perfectly recognise that hesitant tone of amused exasperation - the incredulous shake of the head, then the resigned wave of the hand. It's the universal reactions of any GM confronted with a player hell-bent on doing something _really_ random, plot-irrelevant and quite possible fatally stupid, trying to treat this with both patience and the contempt it deserves. And preparing to bring the roof down on them if truly necessary.

      @@Gruntvc Well actually, Fizban's Treasury really mixed things up and that's not necessarily the case anymore; sure, there's a tendency towards certain alignments, but it's not 100% all the time an inherent trait anymore. there's ideas in there within tables that have the possibility of Good Chromatics, Evil Metallics, Non-Neutral Gem Dragons and even mix-ups on the lawful-chaotic axis.
      Welp, a few settings like Eberron and quite a few homebrew settings already had that possibility, so having it in an actual official book really is interesting btw!

    FYI: Many reptiles and related animals (LIKE BIRDS!) mate through a process known as "Cloacal kissing" where they align their urogential openings in a "kiss". Then they exchange sperm. So when a dragon says "right in the kisser" he/they might actually be talking about the cloaca, or the butthole.

    Lol that was unexpected. Nice work, ABK! Your comedic talent is something else and your delivery is pure gold: some videos are very surreal, others are completely random yet genius at the same time, and most importantly I think is that you never fail to make a positive impact 😁👍 there doesn't seem to be many out there with quite the same caliber or repertoire. Of course there are, but it's rare.
    Thank you also for the Scandinavian Crime Drama bit that you did a while ago. I found it by complete accident when it was only out for like a couple weeks. From then on, I've been a big fan.
