Sorry about the audio on this one, folks! I'm still setting up my new filming space, and consequently I ended up with a bit of background hiss here. I'll have that sorted for next time.
Forget the audio. Where's the 'Stache?! 😱
R.I.P. to the beard
I'll chip in to the diamonds for the True Resurrection fund
@@ninjabreadman22 Much like a dragon's breath weapon, it recharges on a 5-6, so we just gotta wait a few rounds and the beard will be back in business.
@@TalesArcane I LOVE the clean look! ❤ No rush to a 5-6.
Rule 1: Also, if you review your character sheets, you can remember that skill that that player really wants to use and *set that up for them* See also: Shoot your monks.
I've been Dming for two years, it's never a bad idea to refresh yourself with the basics. And running mock combat by yourself is a great idea.
NO! The mustasch's dead again!
Also, could you maybe do a tutorial on how you make a world/region map?
Keep up the great work, mate! 😎
The season of the moustache is over, but like all seasons, it'll come round again in time 😇
Also, yes, good idea for a video! I'll get that done.
@@TalesArcane I will mourn the stasch, but rejoice the upcoming videos!
The timing of this video is impeccable. I've just started preparing my first campaign (after putting plans on hold for FIVE YEARS) and while I know lots about the game, I'm a first-time GM taking an extremely ambitious leap. Thanks for all the helpful content!
So, I’ve never played d&d before, but my friends have been wanting to do it with me for a while now, so I finally agreed. When we were trying to decide who was going to dm, they all chose me because I’m writing a book and love world building. I love telling stories, but I’ve never played d&d before, and they all chose me to do this, so now I have to! I have the story part down, I just don’t know how to actually run the game! You would think they’d pick someone who’s actually at least played before and knows the rules!
I just dm for the first time and it was also my first time playing dnd and it was nerve rackingggg but when I got confused or stuck on the rules I just asked if anyone knew 💀 and it was rlly silly but it was fun. I hope your friends are understanding of how much it can be sometimes
Okay, beard's gone. He is young again.. 🎉
Fire video! Helped a lot🤙
Great video, thank you
I play on a VTT, and it's excellent. Short-cuts a lot of the thinking. But really, it's the other tabs that have google searches that are the greatest. I have a bunch of stuff bookmarked - conditions being one of the most frequently referenced ones!
Nice excellent advice.
Great Video, I'll definetly try that!
@@GarrrfieldDM Hope it helps!
NOO where is your beard??? haha
you are the best dnd channel out there, you helped me a lot. i wish you had more subscribers
Bro, I thought some AI channel is using your likeness with slight alterations fr. I'm about to go on the offensive. But hey it captured my attention.
@@alderinjan Tbf we're probably only a few years away from that being a very real issue 😅
I like how most of the comments are about the moustache being gone. I'm also going to join my voice to those of other commentors, it's part of the brand :p
Good advice as usual ! Im yet to run my first session soon but I've written two adventures in my world and I've got two groups interested but I'm currently facing the strongest badest of all bbeg; scheduling.
I’ve been DMing for decades and still have to look up rules - totally agree with having players help with spells especially - hopefully they know what they’re trying to cast when they make that decision🤞🏿 - Looking sharp with the trim and shave 🪒
@@TwinSteel Absolutely, I don't expect I'll ever fully memorize the rules, there's just so many specific iterations. And thank you, mate! With the hot weather coming in, it was time 😁
@@TalesArcane same & no worries 👍🏿
I only started using my moustache bcuz of you my man. I cannot express the sadness
@@fabiomendesmajczak2283 It will grow back by fall, don't worry 😂
Hey, do you have good one shots on your patreon? I am a new dm and want to introduce dnd to a couple of friends, with a one-shot.
Me too! I have the exact same question.
I, for one, welcome your new shaved face
I second this. Clean-shaven looks GOOD.
Under hour
@@Doauwed Early days!
Who are you!? Wheres the moustache????
My moustache failed its death saving throws.
