  • Tired of players not knowing what the hell's going on! Why not try a recap video!
    Make it and get players to watch it ahead of the session, then you can crack straight on when it's game night!

    If you'd like a more in depth video on how exactly to make a recap video, including sourcing clips, editing and adding voiceover and music, let me know, and I'll make one.

    I started the video thinking: that's crazy! But definitely ended the video thinking: yeah, I could probably do that.

    As a DM, I don't do recaps. That's the players' job! Stop babying your players while they make you do all the work.

    Been making video recaps for years, especially useful as I also play with groups that rotate players in and out. Recent example: czcams.com/video/iNFEAtxbFvM/video.html

    @kidneytheft8285 Před měsícem +1

    Another great video. I must say, though, I often take pretty good notes for myself, but if the players ask what happened last time, I shrug. I mean, how much work is being a player really? The least they can do is take some notes. Mind you, I only had to shrug for two sessions before everyone started taking notes.

    • @DexSaveDan
      @DexSaveDan  Před měsícem

      I mean lack of recap could work if players won't make notes. Play as if they all have short term memory loss. "what just happened?" "I don't know??" "Why am I missing an arm?!?!" "WTF DUDE?!?;"

    :-D yeah new crazy video *hype*
    also: i don't do the recaps that's the job of my players so i can see if / how good i was able to get all the neccessary plotpoints to them. As a player... i kinda try to do notes but mostly forget them. Funny though i can remember much of the stuff even without writing them down and since i mostly play Thorwalians (viking type ancestry from The Dark eye) or some Hacker in Shadowrun who mostly plays games when the our Face is talking to Mr. Smith (or watches some gay p.... and yeah my hacker got caught doing this) i'm not EXPECTED to know everything xD
    also for Fu.. sake i spit my water on the screen when the stick figure recap came and the jokes with the nuts came 😀i think i'm still 12
