    Hey, Fam! We are toying with the idea of running some more D&D content, perhaps even on a channel of its own. Let us know what you think and how you liked THIS vid. Thanks for watching!

The play style of the group was horrible and not my vibe, one of our party members kept going nonverbal then disappearing into the house, we could never meet, the last time we scheduled a meeting the whole group canceled 20 minutes after it was supposed to start and then my dog died not even two hours later.

    I like to make unique fun characters. Like an "otherkin" who is an half-elf but believes he is a cat. Thing is, he's a druid so sometimes he IS a cat. It's fun to go into a tavern and order 6 ales, then slowly push them off the table and watch them fall. Or ordering a bowl of milk to drink. Getting into a bar fight, having someone knock you milk onto the floor, looking at it and saying; "well there's no use crying over that" After a hard battle going back to the inn casting summon woodland creatures; kittens. "I'm taking a kitten break."
    Also chasing dancing lights spells, as close as we get to a laser pointer.

      Have to agree with atlas3611 here. You are playing a TTRPG with dices and you think it involves no math? I sure hope you don't think something like Buckshot roulette doesn't involve math because it does.
      Also. It is very basic math. If you have issues with this level of math, you are going to have serious issues in life.
