    Nothing is better when the players come up with a solution to a puzzle that just didn't occur to you when you created it!

    • @DungeonClass
      @DungeonClass  Pƙed 4 lety +6

      That is one of the funnest parts about putting a challenge like these in front of your players! They Never do what u think they will. lol

    Really loved how @WallyDM summarized puzzles. They're a great link between players and the environment, and solving them can be amazing memorable moments for the group. Including "easy" puzzles is also a great tip 👍

    • @DungeonClass
      @DungeonClass  Pƙed 4 lety

      Absolutely! We are big fans of memorable moments. Good to see you, my friend.-Mark

    I'm Mark's youngest sister and don't know anything about D&D, but love watching the videos! They're very intriguing. Maybe.... just may-beee my interest and curiosity will lead me to diving into this mysterious game. Hahaha

      Don’t forget favorite sister. Wait, Jodi won’t see this will she? Nah, she wouldn’t see this. We are good:-)

    This is proving to be a interesting mix. Great video concept and topic. Exploration is puzzles, great point.

    My first d&d game the dm gave the 5 of us a puzzle box asking us to alight the contents by value. We didn't ask what 'value' ment and spent an hour locked in a library trying to figure out the value of items. Needless to say after an hour of utter cluelessness I smashed the box and then rolled a Nat 20 and smashed the door down.. wisdom test fail, strength test made.

    When and where can we see @WallyDM actually DM a game?

    DMing my first campaign and totally used Raiders of the Lost Ark as inspiration for a large portion of the game. The reveal of the traps in those opening scenes were so cleverly done.
    “Stay here.” “...if you insist senior.” Lol
    I also used the “burning down bar fight” for an encounter and the “lost city” motif.
    Those movies are idea goldmines. Just add magic.

    6:22 What movie is this from?
    EDIT: Found it. Idiocracy.
    The only problem I have with Intelligence checks is players who are like "I keep rolling Int checks until you TELL ME the answer." *proceeds to roll 20d20 plus Int mod*

    • @DungeonClass
      @DungeonClass  Pƙed 4 lety +3

      That is Drag Me to Hell by Dark Signal and is a copyright free song. czcams.com/video/w8RpaXrXf28/video.html

      @WallyDM Pƙed 4 lety +2

      Yeah, that outro is exciting. Gets me pumped up for more D&D

  • @danobra
    @danobra Pƙed 3 lety +1

    I very much dislike puzzles because I don't see someone building a defense system that cannot hold back clever people

    • @person9164
      @person9164 Pƙed 2 lety +2

      It could be as simple as a passworded door.
      Only the creator "should" be able to open it, but that's where the players start finding clever ways to subvert.
      Either by finding the password, finding a way around the password, or even around the door itself.

  • @Arnsteel634
    @Arnsteel634 Pƙed 2 lety +1

    Why do u put puzzles and traps in d&d? Because it’s d&d

  • @Arnsteel634

    Looking for D&D puzzle ideas and I get this crap. I suspect that’s where most of your views are coming from.

    • @DungeonClass
      @DungeonClass  Pƙed 2 lety +2

      If you check out WallyDM’s channel you will have more puzzle ideas than you know what to do with. Sorry we didn’t deliver what you were looking for.
