I've always wanted to play a hercules barbarian aasimar

And another day passes that I miss web dm

kinda funny how TPK was the last topic

Lulz at the intro

This was super helpful! Thanks for the content.

I love how people think guns are controversial in a game with DRAGONS

Completely new to DND looking to be a mountain dwarf fighter. What is the max height a dwarf can be and what is the max weight of dwarf can be these are not Homebrew rules.

Never expected an ODB reference on Web DM 😂

I keep coming back to this one because I get different inspiration each time I need it. Big monster fight coming up.

I just came back to say "I told you so" though I wish I couldn't. Today WebDM is pretty much gone. My concerns about 5e being a hegemony in the hobby turned out to be true. Whoever the moderator of the chat was, it's too bad you and folks like you didn't listen to me and others like me back then. Perhaps WebDM could continue to be a part of the conversation, rather than being betrayed and dying off from the corporate hegemony / ecosystem. Would love to see WebDM come back for other RPGs someday. Best to all of you.

my DM found somewhere an idea for an introductory episode where we meet eachother in what we dont know is a dream. at the end, a beholder showed up and told us to meet up in a town to start the real adventure. i recognized it once the monster showed up as the dream spell, and he didnt even know it was a thing.

As someone of Celtic heritage, I'm offended that Jim couldn't be bothered to offend me

I like what you said about find familiar, as far as it remembering. the way I interpret it, you aren't creating a spirit but "finding" one or essentially trapping a thing from another realm and forcing it into a physical gorm of your choice. I told my DM this early on and that the thing hates my wizard for it, especially when stuck in the locket dimension, and is more than willing to be killed because that's the only way to go back to Mount Celestia.

Mystic is the GOAT class. I will accept no argument or rebuttal! 🐉 Jk, kinda, But someone who enjoys taoist occultism well I really like em.

the real fantasy in this game is that the PC's lives arent ruined by each fight, because the monsters are balanced to lose to you (unless your DM is a dick, or you were a dick to the DM, in which case RIP). if this was at all realistic, I dont think anyone would fk with monsters like oozes, it would just be "welp, theres an ooze in the dungeon, goodbye prisoners, time to build a NEW dungeon... maybe this time it wont get filled with monsters like the last 2". Getting damage as simple as bludgeoning or stabbing is pretty traumatic if its coming from something or someone with the intent to kill or eat you, let along magic or friggin acid.

Low-magic settings are just easier for relatively new players to connect with and immerse themselves in. High-magic settings pull the stakes out of concepts like life and death, illness and injury: you name it. High magic reminds me of latter-day star wars, conjuring up new powers whenever the plot requires them.

Miss your vids! Hope you and Pruitt are doing well!

Jokes on your Pruitt I got an ad blocker on.

I’ve listened to this for 20 minutes and I’m now just annoyed that you’ve not told me anything.

Necro-ing this comment thread obviously, but I find the note taking app Obsidian to be extremely useful. Allows for organized notes and interconnected pages, perfect for quick referencing etc.!

y'all went of the rails a little bit with this one..

Slime, Pudding, Jelly, Flan, Oozes, Blob. No matter what you call it they are awesome monsters. I even made a new slime in my own video game on RPG Maker. I call them Death Bubble and later on Spicky Death Bubbles. They are the insperation of skull bubbles you see in Zelda 2 the adventure of Link.

Where’d Jim go? Anyone know what happened to this channel?

Sorcerer's magic runs in there blood if players can do it NPCs can to. Level1 Sorcerers, Level 1 fighter NPC villagers with 21hp.

A Forrest Gnome Paladin is, actually, really solid. Due to Gnome Cunning giving you Advantage on the 3 mental stats against spells, if you go for a Dexadin, you're granted good DEX saving throws, which all only get better once your aura kicks off. You practically have the Diamond Soul ability in regards to the saving throws that will come up in a game (and way before the monk gets anything similar).

Still watching in 2024!

Would an illusory flare make you react? Maybe not blind you, but you'd react.

I often play chaotic good Tend to want to help people and not hurt people. But also having semi-crazy ideas and quite impulsive. A house with a locked door? Let me climb up on the roof!

alignment deleting is awful tho it was used to describe what your characters drive and motivation is, now without it you can freely do shit thats completely unrelated to what your character should do. At this point you dont even need a game you can just tell each other stories about what you imagine a character doing.

returning because this channel is and will always be the greatest

I like the idea of the background profession mirroring the secondary multiclass.

Keith Baker did the Eberron gnomes a solid: Zil assassin culture, the Trust, Mark of Scribing dragonmarked house, and now the seafaring Lorghalan gnomes with a lost island vibe, but elementals. What’s not to love?

🥳❤️👍🏿

Loving this so far. Adding my own world ending threat, which ties in all my players plots and goals. They've got their stories woven into various chapters. Been a lot of fun!

I'm late to this party by five years, but... All my exes live in hexes

I miss this duo :(

I know I’m splitting hairs here, but your atheist paladin is actually an anti-theist paladin. I know, I know, but words matter. I think I’m gonna try this. My character will have been raised in a cult by a false prophet. His path of vengeance began with slaying the cult leader. He won’t choose a god, so it will be interesting to find out where the powers are coming from

Critical roll was D&D in the first season. But it has become a tv show about D&D. Tv shows are meant to be watched not played. I agree with you : D&D is a GAME not a show.

Warhammer Fantasy RPG... that is all. Or, better yet, Mork Borg.

I have been going through and defining my old homebrew world since the late 90s, I am actually using book 3 from the OD&D as well and playing my adpted version of the Man-to-Man rules from Chainmail for combat which is a lot changing the monsters in OD&D to fit

DND is only a few steps away from removing everything that makes the races different. In the pursuit of woke points people will basically be playing grey blobs.

I love watching these old videos. They were, by far, the best table-top-tubers. I hope they are doing well, and someday make a return.

You guys left out the Slithering Tracker! Talk about body horror: the Monstrous Compendium mentioned that it was theorized to be the result of a wizard's curse: Rendering an enemy into literally a boneless blob! 😆

I hope you're all well. Thanks for the years of entertainment, and a hope for the triumphant return!

5e PHB states magic is prevalent. I'd assume nearly everyone knows at least a utility cantrip like Prestidig/Thaumat/D. Craft, Mage Hand, Mending, etc., and that Lv. 1 spells or similar effects are common. Lv. 2 & up get into the rare or legendary. It would be the odd person who Can't use magic. If I ever DM, a cantrip would be almost a prereq during character creation, if not Magic Initiate, BUT no damaging spells. Races of PCs & NPCs include elves, Asimar, & literal descendents of dragons & demons. You expect me to believe only the 'rare' adventuring types have access to magical effects?

I have a DM that won't let us cast Guidance and hold it up on someone. He doesn't really set up the scenarios that gives us an opening to cast it. He just thrusts us into Skill checks before we can react. I tried to talk to him about it, but he won't let me "Cheat" in an extra d4, so I stopped using it. Please don't be this guy.

I briefly played a pre-made anime-styled halfling monk, and had a great time. I would enjoy playing another one. Perhaps a halfling child sent to (or left on the doorstep) of a temple, who grows up under the tough but kind schooling of the temple masters, learning how to be both a skilled combatant, and also a humble servant of the people. After graduating from the temple, he leaves to explore the world, and serve & defend others in need. His actions are his only sermon. Perhaps he eventually falls in with a halfling shire somewhere, whose sheriff decides he'd make a good (and cheap) deputy. And now he slowly patrols the perimeter of their shire, keeping the locals safe from the edge of the wilderness. Busting up roving bandits, and warning villagers of forest fires, trolls & hill giants. ALTERNATIVELY: A luchador-themed monk! They often come from extended wrestling families who form their own stables. Kind of like the varieties of classic kung fu schools, which can frequently have competitive rivalries, sometimes having all-out blood feuds. Luchadors monks may have clan rivalries, though perhaps they try to save it for the ring. Perhaps the local town has 2 or 3 family-run public gyms, and their luchadors battle in the ring of city-run downtown venue. Their demeanor in battle (in and out of the ring) may be hyper aggressive, or outlandish (crazy, bestial, etc.). They tend to act with over the top showmanship, when they can. And short-stature characters are heartily welcomed to the glory of the luchador world. "NA-CHOOOOO!!!!!" 😃

Sounds like he hasn't read the comic "Goblins" lol
