Step 1: have friends.
.... Fuck
Ethan Jensen Step 1. Look for a local games shop or search online.
Step 2. Ask around for a group to play with.
Games cons are usally good places to start if you find some of the smaller festivals.
There is a DnD like game called revolution virtual playspace on Steam. Then you can invite random people but not over to your house or theirs, but online.
The True Aniflex And if you don't have money you can use Roll20.net ;)
RaketenKuhGewehr Oh yeah I saw that one! I completely forgot about it though.
Ethan Jensen hahaha, that's exactly where my checklist ended
I had a campaign where we used LEGO people as our miniatures.
If I start I might use lotr Lego people at the start
TheMstrpwnr lmao same. my friends and i used our lego kingdom pieces and we used the board for Risk as our map
TheMstrpwnr THAT IS A FANTASTIC IDEA THANKYOU
let's hear it for low-budget minis
Holy fucc
In 10 years or less D&D will be even more amazing when hologram tables become more mainstream.
dylan bellerose Become even more mainstream? Pretty sure those don't exist yet man, slow your role.
I think there is augmented reality though! you just have to look through your phone
dylan bellerose it would actually be cool if you would actually see the characters move and act base on what your saying or command, making the attacks immersive and cool looking, though it may take the imagination away sadly...
The Japanese invented a vertical 'tv' that projects upwards. Yes its a matter of time...
pffft! I did that today.. with Chewbacca.
The most important things that this game seems to need are the terrains, buildings and scenescapes, but in reality, it is your imagination.
And having friends,
+Lorewalker Choo M. D. I would say that hte most important are the map and something to keep track of your equipment (a notepad, cards, whatever). The characters can be anything and everything else can be made up
+migueeeelet You don't need a map, just character sheets and the PHB.
PHB? I say a map so players know distance, obstacles in the way, etc. Else you'll have to play with a "I move from D5 to G5" style
+migueeeelet Yeah the Players Hand Book. You do not need a map whatsoever. I very rarely pull the map out. It's a theater of mind game. If you need a constant map, you're probably relying on combat too much to play your game and your roll playing rather than role playing.
mjmoore87
Hmh.
Well, it depends. If you play your RPG in a battle, you'll do better with a map. If it's mainly roaming towns and stuff, it's more optional.
Shame this stuff is dismissed as for "nerds" or "losers". It's actually pretty damn awesome with all the possibilities you can do with it
Trevor Phillips mmm I think society is slowly moving away from all this "only for nerds" thing. I rarely hear the word "nerd" anymore.
Well for those you can tell that Vin Diesel loves D&D
Eetu Lähteenmäki David Hayter, the voice behind the main protagonists in the Metal Gear Solid Saga, is also known to play D&D.
David Hayter is the most badass voice actor on earth
Trevor Phillips I used to be one of those people until I actually watched people play it. Now I want more friends so I can start playing, I can see why my Dad played D&D in college.
Don't let Sam bring you down, skeleton dude! :(
You can be whatever you want!
Scamspam Mr. Bones will remember your statement sam.
Scamspam Dont let your dreams be dream!
Scamspam Don't let your memes be dreams
Scamspam doot doot
Scamspam that skeleton dude will NEVER be more than a skeleton dude!
Now I just need friends :/
healingduck or kidnap younger relatives
there is a podcast of a guy who plays with hookers *****
healingduck Roll20.net looking for group and pick out the game type you want to play best of luck to you.
@Alec Carr sure yeah just go to the comic book store and start chatting up to strangers asking them if they want to play board game..
@@Stavol2Dual those poor kids
The biggest hurdle to overcome is finding a group that will meet more than once! I've seen many group fall apart from wishy-washy people who just want to dip their toes into the world of D&D.
Being in a group is a commitment. It's kinda like being in a long-term relationship.
KirKanos08 which is why best friends are good for it
Even best friends can be tough though, people are always busy/on different schedules.
The Dragon Between Podcast I recently played my first game and I really got into it, but the two other people there had also never played before and I don't know if they are too keen on playing again, any advice?
Rocky 713 just bum them
My D&D campaign The Ten Thousand Islands : Greeks and Vikings is open to new players via Discord ...

When I was first dragged into D&D all we had was a simple notebook of grids, pencils, and our own drawn-out character sheets traced on blank papers, and our DM was an author who acted as a storyteller to paint the scenes in our mind and the grid pages were for mechanical reference / hard-placement of where everyone is from a birdseye view of all our little dots on the grid (Lines / maps drawn around them).
You don't even need the books, just read from online sources. The internet, paper, pencils, that's all you really need if you seriously want to start playing but are poor/broke. (Online dice rollers).
Kate Clementine Agreed, from an outsiders perspective D&D seems expensive and time consuming, but all you really need is the basic rules, a list of character stats and dice or something to the same effect.
Simon May You definitely don't need every book but I HIGHLY recommend that the dm gets the dungeon master guide. And atleast one player has the player handbook (or dm can have it and share it with the players.) AFter that everything else is optional.
demonickilla32 The problem is that the dm also needs a Player's Handbook (possibly more than a pc does). The fact that they are expensive means that I, as the dm, have to tell everyone prices and rules.
+Ryan Baillie 90% of the time you only need one... For your whole group... Have a Sesson zero, just to make characters
demonickilla32 Internet. Google. SRDs. Just saying, everything is out there. You don't -need- the physical copies to play. If everyone has a mobile/tablet/laptop, everyone can have all the tools/books.
"I am an amzing adventurer, and you are just a peasant," lol, that's funny. You sold it well.
PC to console gamers
I mean really you don't need any of this stuff. Just download the Player's handbook, monster manual and dm's guide, buy some dice, get your friends together and use your imagination. You don't need a map, some miniatures or any terrain, you just need 3 pdf files, some dice and some friends. heck, you could even use online dice if you want! just have fun with it, and don't get bogged down by models, miniatures and the ridiculous amount of money you would have to spend
It does make it more fun.But you don't need it!
sure its alot of money, and ita not for every one, but remember, you are invesring in a proud memory that helped make bonds and empowered your and who ever was envolved with your game's imagination. As a grown person, I wish my parents invested a smidget of money and time here as they did paying people to do shit for them. I saw we were all at a loss.
I agree. Me and my friends are playing D&D for a couple months now, and we haven't paid a dollar; you can find every D&D book online (in pdf form), and there are some amazing dice apps out there, also you don't really need a map, I think that imagination is much better because it lest imagination flow.
A lot of mechanics function on positioning, so at least a grid to track that does matter. But you don't need anything fancy for that, just some paper.
We should all be far more angry about this unimaginative approach. May as well play monopoly if you're gonna do it like this. I'm livid!
I love this. How to "start" playing D&D and then the guy goes into all these miniatures. We never used miniatures. They're cool, but they're certainly not needed to start playing D&D.
......lmao your not a good listener are you? -_-
Angry_Old_ _Man_Gamer lmao (see, I can act like a 5 year old too). Maybe you're not intelligent enough to understand what this guy said, but one of the ESSENTIALS he mentioned was the grid!!!!! Then he goes into his miniatures. This is NOT a video on how to play, but a video on what to buy, and this guy seems to think miniatures are a necessary item. Did I miss one second in this ten minute video of what to buy in the form of accessories where he said you don't need any of this shit?
Maybe you don't know the meaning of the word "essentials," which would mean "necessary" to play. We didn't need something to represent the characters, or a grid. THAT was my point. The essentials are the rules, and maybe some dice. That's it.
Blue Shard I know. That's what I said.
My group are the same; we just lounge around someone's front room and talk. As long as we've got somewhere to roll dice and write notes, we're good. :)
"Something to represent your characters, whether it be PAPER CUT OUTS or miniatures." That is what led to the miniatures to be talked about.
Super cheap alternative to minys... Bottle caps. When I was first starting out I had about 150 some odd water bottle caps for small creatures and 15 milk caps for large creatures... and so on. All you have to do is write a letter on them in marker and describe the monster.
ReadySetTech Genius, or play Doh
+ReadySetTech You are brilliant.
I'm already collecting bottle caps, for a different reason tho
falloutfish scorpion that’ll be 200 caps please
@@funguscrusader5509 I have 15 coca cola bottlecaps
This was a good guide to starting D&D. For anyone that is curious about starting up but don't know about the cost, there are starter sets they sell too that are only 20 dollars and work for 4-6 players to just test to see if it is right for you. It comes with a basic rulebook for levels 1-5, an adventure for the DM to run through, and some dice to get everyone going. They sell em at Walmart too, so you could one day just say "let's try D&D." It's easier than ever to get into it now that Wizard's made it more accessible to the masses.
As a newcomer, this taught me absolutely nothing on how to play. It was more of a list of things I should buy rather then a "how to".
"A how to start..." the title didn't mislead me at all.
thats really all it seemed to be. Really all you need is a Players Handbook, a set of dice, pencil and paper, and some people to play with.
You dont have to use battle grids but its usually more enjoyable that way, any grid will do, and anything can be used in place of miniatures- dice, bottle caps, coins and so on.
A lot of game/comic book/ trading card shops usually let D&D groups gather in their venue certain days, and sometimes even have sign up sheets for groups that are looking for new players. Though you end up playing with complete strangers, and sometimes they arent the easiest people to spend a couple hours sitting at a table with.
How to play D&D in 3 words: Have an imagination.
If those 3 words dont do it for you then read the books they have more words in them ;)
I'm the DM for a campaign in my group and one thing I was struggling with was the rules, like what are the stats? how to set up stats? when to use stats? do I have to keep track of all the stats every player has? etc etc. Although my questions aren't answered directly in the video, I learned a lot by just watching how he conducted a game. I suppose D&D is one of those games where you just get better as you experience it.
Look up the "How to Play DnD" playlist on the channel "Never Stop Learning". It's long, but it goes over everything you really need to know
sounds like fun. I'd like to see fully animated hololens augmented reality D&D
you can also do this with legos! That what i did
Pipdockan Same here!
Pipdockan How many times I've bought sets for the only purpose of filling space in my games, or when I think "That would make for a great town/dungeon/etc thing!", that is amazing, also with all the new chess and miniatures being released by lego (the random bags) it has come to a point where it is amazing to use for the D&D games.
Pipdockan With minifigs? Genius...
That's what I'm doing with my friends. I have a ton of Legos from when I was younger.
Using Lego's, especially for minifigs, works great, I agree!!
chills, it's almost like you guys knew i wanted to start playing D&D. The coincidences are strong with me today
MitchieDBBC Baader-Meinhof phenomenon
Would it be acceptable to use LEGO minifigures for D&D?
DragonaxFilms I've used pennies in place of monsters before. I've also used marble chess pieces I had lying around., both as enemies and as statues or coffins. D&D is about imagination, you don't even need minis, or walls, or maps. You can do whatever you want.
That what I use ;.;
+DragonaxFilms very acceptable
+Feraligatr Star Wars D&D
+DragonaxFilms it is totally acceptable, plus if you have the parts you can make a lot of different characters.
I really really hope that you guys will do another D&D campaign. I enjoyed watching it so much and it was so much more entertaining than any other of the sort you might find on youtube. The story was great and Brandon, D, and Niko were all great players when it came to helping make the game enjoyable. I just hope to see more of it. :)
My mom _is_ a badass assassin!
You started out great, but way too much emphasis on miniatures.
True. I would only use minis during combat or sneaking
well to be fair they bring out a better visual and immersion on a character your team approaches i dont wanna imagine every character i come across i mean if thats the case we might as well not have a board at all and only have dice and cards
JamesBondRPG I've been playing for two years, never used a mini once
Miniatures are what make it for me I love them
You dont NEED minis but having them can definitely add to the experience, I've used monopoly peices on grid paper before.
*BEHOLD THE FEARSOME POWER OF MY THIMBLE!*
After watching your first campaign, then watching this video I got so emotional, this convinced me to take the plunge and follow these rough instructions. Been playing every other weekend for little over a year now! Thank you sir.
I have been thinking about starting D&D for a while now and this video really gave me the final drops of inspiration. Thanks!
Dont forget Roll20.net !
Bump
James Dreger double bump
Quadruple bump. Did I do it right?
All Me and my friends first used were some notebooks and dice. We didn't even have miniatures or grids. I would dm most of the time( I was the only writer of our group. lol), and I would just paint a picture of the scene and they would act it out in game, then we would basically just get a good idea of how large the location is and go from there. It's a simple but still a fun way to play.
Im starting with DnD. A few friends of mine play it already and to not lag too much behind I started watching campaings here on CZcams and listen to the High Rollers Podcast on spotify. I have learned alot by watchibg different campaigns
every time i watch your guys D&D videos i always want to play it so watching is basically the closest i’ll get to experiencing it
I hope you guys do another D&D adventure in the future! :)
Justin Carson Well they've done 3 so far so maybe a fourth is coming. (2 Years late.)
Now I know how to play Jenga.
Thanks guys!
Shew Moo you can use jenga in Dread
I’m confused on your joke.
I've never even seen anyone using all this stuff before I think that's amazing I feel like it would be a lot more fun doing it this way I've only ever played with just talking about scenes. this really brings it to life.
Thank you!!! So helpful, I know that these D&D vids don't get as many views as other videos on the channel, i.e airsoft, and certain video games. However, I think that these D&D vids are something you guys find fun, and are clearly passionate about. However many views they get. Don't loose sight of that passion, keep up the great work!!!
I personally use Lego minifigs instead of miniatures when I play D&D :D
5:37 "He could be a sick assassin.. He could be, uh.. your mom."
~~***SAVAGE***~~
Yo yer mum look like a man🤯😮
My favourite moment was the wrestle between the howlbear and Bran. Great work guys.
This video is exactly what got me into DnD. Thank you, Node.
This video was so incredibly helpful! Thank you!!
The official Wizards of the Coast D&D channel here on youtube held a few round table discussions with GMs and the question of how to get players started came up. One of them said: give them an armor class and a d20. Everything else about your character can be decided on the fly.
Ideally, of course, it's better to have at least a set of ability scores, the usual strength/constitution/etc stuff, but the armor class is enough to get started with if rolling 4d6 and taking the highest three results six times is too daunting for a newbie.
Also, for new players, the 5th edition player's guide and basic rules for DMs have been made available on the WotC website. It's pared down quite a bit; for example, most of the classes have three variants and the freebie handbook only contains one, but you and your friends could easily grab the two free PDFs and start playing in a couple hours.
Personally, for 4th edition I relied heavily on tokens and accurate maps I drew by hand on quad paper. I used pennies for 1-hit point minions. 5th edition however, I did away with maps and tokens entirely. My first campaign went well, even though all I had was a partial world map to provide some context, with the entire campaign taking place in less than a square centimeter on the large map.
As long as you have the battlegrounds in your head as the DM and can accurately describe what's happening to your players, you don't need any table dressing at all. I spent a lot of time and money making popsicle and toothpick furniture for my 4th edition games, but I've discovered it's not necessary and actually slows the game down a lot. But that's a matter of taste. I do love to see all the stuff the DMCraft channel makes with cheap materials.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You really got me wanting to build my own D&D world!
My friend plays D&D and I've really wanted to play it with him or play my own games with friends, but never been able to get good info as to how to play it and I just wanted to say this was really helpful and fun, thx.
Of coarse you don't NEED all these things to play D&D but tbh a game of D&D without miniatures and at least some sort of grid or terrain is just roleplaying. Which is fine but definitely not the full D&D experience.
Except for the part where the full D&D experience was some guys with dice and imagination...
To many of us, D&D IS roleplaying.
i was wondering where they got the towns folk cause I've been needing some and can't find them
I've played D&D without miniatures or a grid just fine, and it helps fuel my imagination more that with miniatures or a grid, but that's just me
Well it is a Role Playing Game after all... Some people prefer it old school just using their imagination when it comes to how the battle field looks like, how the big bad dragon and the castle look etc. When you can imagine these things, grids and miniatures aren't just useless but also a needlessly annoying distraction. It it only when the DM is really bad at describing things that there's a need for toys all over the table or when there's that one really dim witted player that just won't get where the enemy is unless they can see little versions of themselves and the monster. Even then, some meeple or even coins will do.
this isnt about start playing D&D. the title should be "what equipment can you use to spice up D&D"
I want to start playing d&d with a group of friends and we're all new. just reading the starter set rules and looking at the player feels daunting enough, before going through the very big player handbook and dm guide. your videos are very nice and well-made, I'd like to see a much more basic version of it for new starters.
I was lucky with my introduction to D&D in that I had brothers to play with and a square patterned carpet for a grid. Miniatures are the easiest thing to wing from random things lying around and if you have a grid building environments and structures is as easy as laying down pens, cutlery or whatever. Really just getting started you don't need anything item wise as you will be able to find a stand in in your house somewhere.
I lack the only thing you really need to play this game
Friends
Tristan Verbruggen search if there is clubs in your school. If yes then there is a chance there already is a D&D club. If there isn’t already a D&D club the make one!
My friends and I haven't been playing long but so far we've been using theatre of mind where we don't need miniatures or a grid.
Sean Parenti play it though roll20.net
Sean Parenti the best way.
Been playing roll 20 with my cousins and has been the most fun I've had in a while.
I started D&D a few years ago. I've never been a DM but I've got the books on my PC as PDFs.
It started with a friend who had an older brother who DM'd for us, and then he started DMing himself.
We don't have any buildings, but he had a butt-ton of character figurines, and Warhammer 40K Sisters of Battle miniatures work great for Dwarven Mechs!
He makes a lot of props for us himself;
He made a map of the game world by drawing it on a sheet of paper, soaking it in tea to give it an old color, and crumpling and tearing it in places, and we choose after each adventure, where on the map we'd like to go next.
He made a checkered game board for us out of softwood.
And here's the best bit, he has an small chest, that he used for a potion set. He gave us a recipe book, and in the chest were ingredients (made up of random spices from his kitchen, but given names like "moontears" or something) in small vials. He said if we wanted our character to drink a potion, we'd have to "brew" it using the ingredients we had (mix the ingredients into some water), and drink it ourselves! We'd end up having to choke down a shot of salty chili water if we wanted a potion!
Have you ever thought about making a video explaining at least the basics of being a DM? It's something I've always wanted to try but it seems like you have to know a lot and be able to improv a lot. Anyone here know of any good tips, videos, websites, etc that could help out?
geekandsundry.com/tips-for-the-novice-dungeon-master-story-edition/
This is really helpful Sam thanks for the video
Commercialization for dnd is crazy
Gonna start my 1st D&D game on Saturday, your videos are awesome!
Always love coming back to this video, brings back great memories..
Digital
With D&D, Wargaming, Trains etc. using a big screen they should have digital miniatures.
- Tabletop gaming is fine
- Dioramas
- Kids toys to play with
Also -- you don't /have/ to have a grid. you can play d&d entirely without battle grids and minis, if you don't want to invest the money & fight the limitations that come with trying to have physical representations for everything in your game.
I'd hate for anyone interested in d&d to think you need to collect and invest in all this stuff. having this amount of minis and maps and stuff is unusual & optional.
Sam doesn't show them here but the cardboard cutouts he was talking about are called Pathfinder Pawns. A set of around 200(ish) goes for about $30, so it's a much more cost effective way to get tons of variety. Maybe not as cool as really nice minis but they still work perfectly. (plus imho the artists for Pathfinder have a much more interesting and engaging style than the artists WOTC hired for 5e)
i love node playing d and d i started playing path finder which is similar and me and my friends just cant stop ... and if u are worried to play d and d because u r worried that u may be seen as a nerd then don't worried it is some of the most fun i have ever had
I know this is 3 years late but I'm playing my first game with a few mates this week I'm dm I'm looking forward to it
I'm a year late to your comment. How did the session go?
Please do another D&D series at some point.
Good to see people still make video to help out new players.
As for minis, i bought a bag of little cheap plastic dinosaurs and we each painted them up to personalize them, so we had everything we needed in that regard for under $5. Worked nicely. You can also use bottle caps, bullets or any other small thing you can tell apart. Recycling can be fun.
"Use paper or you can buy some officials" me: **uses r2d2 figure and Lego minifigs**
This only goes into the aspects of hardware, which is optional. D&D 5th-edition in particular is tending more to "Theater of the Mind" play where you don't illustrate anything with props.
A better title would be How to Gear Up for Playing D&D, since it doesn't say anything about how to play itself.
I thought the Call of the Wild was a promotional video to show how appealing D&D can be, and I was surprised at how humorous the players were. A year or so later I came across Corridor Digital when I was looking into some film stuff, and I recognized the crew.
So, it's seriously amazing that the video is made by guys who really love the game. It's also great that I found this group through two totally separate paths down CZcams's rabbit hole.
please make more campaigns. I keep looking on CZcams but I can't find a single episode that is entertaining as you guys are. the set up is perfect the dm was magical and it felt real. please please make a new series!
I dunno if you've seen them or not but a lot of people are putting televisions flat facing up on a table. No need to pay for maps any more.
I must be old; my immediate mental image was of a CRT telly lying on its back. Somehow, I don't think that'd work so well... :p
Heroes and Halfwits?
No need to pay for maps anymore (pays for TV)
"He can be your mom" xD
I'm really hopeing to see a new D&D campaign, I don't have the time anymore to play myself, but watching it can be just as good and sometimes better than playing myself.
What ever you do, keep it up!
This is great! I love to see that my hobby gets so much love :)
I have been playing a lot of pen and paper RPGs now for a long time. Fantastic vid, hope a lot of new adventurers and budding DMs come out of this.
For people who feel like getting all of those miniatures and gridmaps looks daunting, I must tell you that in my playgroups we like best to play without grids at all, as it hampers your imagination. We keep some paper on hand for the DM to explain stuff that the players find a bit fuzzy instead!
I would love to see more from you guys! Maybe even a premade adventure? Players often love to compare their experiences if they have played the same story! ;)
Keep up the fantastic work! :D
You could also try Legos too!
Step 1:get some actual friends to play with me
Thanks for the videos, wanted to play this game sense I was 7.. I'm now 34 and about to finally start playing
I'll be real simple when I say this: please do another campaign
Where can I find townsfolk minis like that?
Miniatures and a grid make movement and combat easy to understand and grasp as a new player. Yes you can play without them but during combat when you have a lot of enemies it's extremely difficult to keep track of for the DM and players.
Nice overview on getting into the game. Really like the table layout and buildings.
were can i get villagers like the ones displayed in this video?
You guys better do another story again pls.
Jonny Diaz They're going to do another campaign.
Can I ask when?
Man, on this youtube channel is everything. I'm definitely subscribing.
thank you so much i watched your call of the wild playthrough and it made me want to play D&D and this video helped me so much

Thanks guys for the video. I've been trying to figure out how to get started playing and this really helped me out a lot. Now just time to get a group of friends or at the very least my brothers to play with me. :-)
After seeing the awesome setup you have there, the first thing I thought of was all the amazing things Hololens (and just AR in general) could do for this game.
Please do a new campaign

Thanks a ton for this! I've always wanted to play, but always thought I needed to find someone who already knew how to DM to play...this is great news! Can you do a video breaking down DM'ing?
It is nice of you that you explain everything with real passion, thank you sir.
I came here because Stranger Things
Kin Atera Same! That show was amazing.
#thedemigorgon
Me too, plus my friend kept telling me about d&d
Kin Atera LMAO ME TOO IT LOOKED SO COOL
Same here!
who else is here bc of stranger things
Thank you for making this video, I have watched many D&D videos of people playing and it caught my interest so I do want to some day be involved. (I love things that involve imagination, and as an unpublished author, I love creating stories and characters so something like this would be really fun.) And while I’m an adolescent who doesn’t have a lot of friends (only two) so I have a feeling it will take awhile to get a game started, hopefully I can get the books soon and review them as I try to find a way to play D&D. (It may happen when I’m a bit older and find the correct people but until then, I’ll just enjoy others playing it.)
I want to start playing soo bad! I have thought about it for years. I have been listening to tabletop champions podcast and it really helps me get through my boring shifts.
Sam you need a haircut lol
Not sure spending hundreds of dollars on miniatures is what someone should be doing when they're merely interested in trying out the game...
Jared Arbizu if you get the minis you've spent a shit ton of money on it so you feel forced into playing as to not waste money
That's probably his way of thinking about it. Jk
Excellent, I could listen to this for hours.
Just started looking for information on how to play and get started with dungeons and dragons, thank you.
Thank you for this. I started watching your dungeon and dragons videos and wanted to try it out but didn't know anything about it D:
All but one of my friends and I have never played D&D before, but they nominated me to be the DM. I know the basic rules as I've (briefly) played some other tabletop games, but this will certainly be a learning experience. I'm really excited to get into the game as I love the unique, creative, and endless aspect of it. I've been searching for some DIY ideas to make the game really special for us all, and I just wanted to say that your maps are gorgeous (as in, I may have gasped aloud a few times when I saw them. Wow).
Some other people have already said stuff similar but medieval legos are super great and versatile with buildings and people. There are even medieval lego chess sets that come with lego grids and soldiers that my friends and I use.
The music during the entire thing was so chill especially toward 6:30.
Nice, thanks for the ideas. Im trying to try d&d for a while and you give me a lot of great ideas. Thanks.
