It's like responding to a text paragraph with "k"

It sounds so weird, yet I did the exact same thing when I started playing. I was just like: ... Couldn't think of anything to say, idk why lol

When I said that in my very first game, the DM decided to throw in exploding crows because he could. I lost an arm and the rest of that campaign had us all developing a phobia of birds. When we had others join us later on, they were really confused as to why we refused to walk on a path full of pigeons. The DM just laughed the entire time.

the half-elf barbarian (don't ask) in our party contracted rabies from the one rabid wolf in the pack that attacked us. -2 to int wis and cha, but +2 str and can start raging one additional time a day.

I was really surprised by how quickly a level one can die when I first played.

James Eversole druids suck m8 we have one in our campaign and he doesn't do shit...

Andrew Lim maybe because he sucks at being a druid

Arctic yeah maybe

He sucks at being a druid then. Our druid, in a Curse of Strahd campaign, saved our asses many times. We would have died during our first encounter with Strahd without the druid.

"I will kill you" the DM said calmly

She rolled a Perception check before the battle though.

But if you look at it, it can only go downhill from there.

That's literally a 1 in 400 chance to crit 2 times in a row...And they were her first attack rolls in D&D ever.....That's insane lol.

I had my nat 20 but only on my first roll..... and I got so stealthy that the party I'm suppose to meet up with didn't notice me at all lol That was a fun first session for me (It's my first not theirs)

I think the students were trying to copy their new mentor.

Rogues in 5e, with Expertise in Stealth, can start getting good (especially if they go Assassin) the higher they gain in level because the proficiency increases, even with a Dex of 18/19 (+4 mod). Now, I know that 1's on attack rolls aren't necessarily good but in terms of certain skills as a Rogue, rolling a 1 won't really matter.

I had my first D&D game a month ago, I got critted in the 1st encounter almost died. Then on the 2nd encounter took a sweet 30dmg crit and died instantly as an Half-Orc Barbarian. Yikes

valid

colin kuykendall minis and a map make ALL the difference!

I honestly think they are overrated. Every RPG is an imaginative game. If you use "things" you lose every chance to actually describe things.

True Kenar, but they do help with immersion. In fact, many people are visual learners, so the map and mini's help. Plus, if you enjoy tactical gameplay, the ability to know you can get to a flanking position, pull creatures 10ft with vinewhip, etc make those effects much more meaningful.

As great as the visual aids are, if they make all the difference for you, you're playing the wrong game.

we've been playing for months and we are now just finally getting a map. I can't tell you how many times the DM has forgotten how many damn skeletons we're fighting. "Ok so you go over to Wilhelm who still has two skeletons on him," "Hey wait I thought I just killed one of them," "Oh shit yeah okay yes Wilhelm only has ONE on him right now," or alternatively, "Shoot I forgot there was actually ten of them okay so the other two start making their way toward Cal..."

@@benjamingeiger "I like sex and money too!"

Yes..This is a very important point.Good catch.But I imagine he was very involved in getting them hooked.and was focused on the basic idea of DnD.

Correct.

Yeah, he wants to keep it simple, i mean it's their first game.

There is simple, and there is scripted, as I've said I didn't mean to sound harsh, so sorry if it came that way. And hey! by any means, it's his and their's game... I'm no one but a dumbass viewer... I was just pointing out a lil bit of constructive criticism, that was not meant to sound like "you shouldn't touch d&d ever again in your life!!! *rage + madness*" 😂 Just personally think that new players, especially young who game a lot, would find something fresh in multiple tiny plot hooks and the absolute freedom of choice to roam a city for example... and from these tiny plot hooks perhaps start a travel to somewhere else, now suddenly they're not following a scripted path, they are heading specifically where they chose to go, and suddenly facing the dangers of the wild and setting camp becomes very immersive and personal. That being said, I do understand his approach of scripting it, in order to teach them the mechanics of d&d, which they learned... but, did they really play d&d? I don't know, maybe I'm an ass for pointing that out, I'm sorry, I apologies, feel free to ignore me if you'd like! haha.. I'm not trying to be an asshole, just this is not at all the way I would explain d&d to people, then again I play a lot of videogames and so are the people I interact with, so my perspective could be very different than his.

No worries - it's all good.

tryingnot my school has one

we really should

I do like the name, though my DM's been using it for ages

I thought at first he said Phill instead of Bill, I was like "Fatass???"

I like this concept, nothing more disappointing than a low critical hit damage roll.

Nein herman wouldn't that be patass?

outlier 07 yeah but it would sound like fatass ;)

Many people have said similar things, and I would agree about his style. But season 1 was very short and very fast paced due to actual deadlines (the end of the semester). Check out season 2 - the players have a lot more room to grow.

Exactly and let them be maltie class caz an all human game play is boring.in my game 👁️ have players that are maltie class in race and class like elfs, dwarfs,half links which R hobbits, half orcs, kolbals, werbear 👁️ Also have Centors.& in those races there's magic users,bards thiefs, rangers,palidans

@@erniecorella7676 Can you say that again, but this time in English? From what I gathered it seemed really interesting.

@@Evravon "Exactly, and let them be multiple classes (let them multiclass?) cause all-human game play is boring. In my game I (?) have players that are multiclasses and races and classes like elves, dwarves, half links which are hobbits, (I assume they are either half hobbit, half humans or just a renamed hobbit?), half orcs, kobolds, werebears. I also have centaurs and in those races there are magic users, bards, thieves, rangers, paladins." Now, the races were restriced because of the restrictions behind the first season as was explained under the first video. It is the campaign setting, and it makes it easier for the players to get into a game quickly. Some of those races are quite common already and supported in the official rules. Hobbits already exist, they are renamed halflings because of LotR having the copyright to the word hobbit (same with ents being renamed treants btw), half orcs, dwarves and elves are supported and kobolds are supported in one of the extensions. Centaurs and werebears I don't believe are currently supported, but it could easily be done with some simple homebrew. I disagree with the sentiment that all-human is boring though. Races are basically just cosmetic changes in the average RPG. They have some mechanical differences, but I don't think that really removes any potential boredom as much as good RP could. An all-human party could still be loads of fun if the RP is good. Multiclass can only happen after they level up, unless you homebrew something, so they can't do that quite yet, but it is very possible they'd be allowed to do that. I assume they don't know about the possibility, so Bill would have to introduce the concept to them first.

I’ve been thinking exactly the same. So bossy lol.

Dungeons & Coffee Tabletop RPG Show What about now? Is this feeling gone? I am wondering, because I am newb and I want this feeling keeps forever.

I feel like it lasted about a month for me.

The feeling fades, but, with the right player and DM attitudes, and new characters, it never dies.

It really depends on you, the group, and the DM in my opinion. If you want to see an example of a group of people that still hold on to that wonder and keep the game amazing you should watch some of Vox Machina. The page is Geek & Sundry, the series is called Critical Role RPG Show. I am in love with watching/listening to them and they are what helped reinstate my need to delve back into the fantasy worlds. And I am so very thankful! Hope this helps and you enjoy the direction I pointed you in as well :D

I've been watching CR since the beginning, and DMing for more than 30 years. Play is more fun and fantastic when players try to stay "in character", including using each other's character names in game.

Yeah, right? Craziest rolls for a newbie I ever saw!

Your feedback rings true. Hopefully you'll see a lot more player freedom in Season 2, because we've changed the format a bit.

Bill Allan I ended up getting to the end of the series and really enjoyed the boss fight and the interview and I'm really glad they'll be doing it again

I thought the same thing when I watched this. Also, when the kid playing the ranger ignored the guy playing the rogue who said he didn't want to cluster with the group in the forest because he would be all sneaky staying back in the shadows. But instead he was forced to stand there and wait for the wolves to show up. I get that they are learning how the mechanics of D&D work, but that rogue kid should have been praised immediately for roleplaying his character well. And it kind of sucked that the only girl in the group got labeled "the healer" from the get go, even though she picked a druid, not a cleric. The ranger would probably know herbalism and basic medicine as much as a druid would, maybe even more so.

I would say, think of this as a Telltale Games sort of thing. He makes just about everything happen for them, but leaves somewhat big decisions up to them. I think it's perfect for introducing anyone into a game like this where the only limit is your imagination and the imagination of those playing with you so that you can expand upon each others ideas, words, thoughts, actions, etc. Later when you have a lot more experience and you challenge your own imagination enough to come up with crazy ideas that may or may not work, that's when you can really get into a good game. I myself have never played D&D before (learning from videos here and there), but from what I *have* seen in plenty of videos, this seems to be the case. If you don't have a great imagination, you can't really get all that immersed in a published world or one created by the DM/GM because you just can't *see* things the way everyone else that is playing can. The way to change that is by starting small and, again, expanding and challenging your imagination. Which is what is going on here in this campaign that he designed for them.

I completely agree with you. He may be the expert at this table but this DM still has much to learn himself! Also labels such as "healer" should avoided at all costs as they reduce potentially complicated character choices to one dimensional behaviour. (i.e. She heals stuff, he kills stuff, he sneaks around, he casts spells...etc)

Did you call her a natural because she rolled two nat 20s in a row, or because she's a druid?

Because you probably won't show up with a shirt on.

Exactly

Kieran Yeet one time i got four nat 1’s and got nat 20’d on in a row, and that’s how you lose your favorite character

The thing is, if I roll 2 d20's and I roll a 7 and a 13, I could also say: woah, the chance that I rolled a 7 and then a 13 is 1 in 400.

@@pomonoli while that may be true, that's also saying specifically if you wanted a 7 and then a 13, the thing is that they got specifically 2 20s, which is exactly what you would want

Either plan a multitude of possibilities so that they eventually find something that they want to do, or force something on them without directly controlling their characters. If you plan 20 different possible quests for them to go on and they just say no to everything, perhaps they just don't want to play? Talk with them about why they are refusing everything. Either they are just deliberately ruining the game, at which point playing is pretty pointless, or maybe they don't think your hooks are good enough, which could be an opportunity for you to improve and to find out what kind of game it is the players actually want to play. Maybe they are looking for political intrigue and you're giving them monsters to slay, or maybe they just want to crush monsters and you're giving them moral dilemas they don't want to deal with. If you just want to throw them into a fight, you could have the town be attacked, forcing them to either escape or fight for their lives. You could then block any attempts at fleeing to force them to fight, or maybe make the very act of trying to escape into a badass moment, thus turning their deliberate attempts at ruining the game into a fun game itself. You should only really railroad players if they are being deliberate assholes though. There are ways to make it work in other situations (see Dimension 20), but that often requires the players being fine with it, which would require talking to them about it first. And you can do it every once in a while without risking the players feeling like they have no freedom. This episode was a bit railroaded, but it's also acceptable with completely new players that are just trying to learn the mechanics. You should let them have choices, but you don't need to leave everything up to the players all the time after all.

the game wouldn't have just ended...

nickey g you can always buy a battle mat. It’s just a large graphing paper esc. mat that you can use marker on. Honestly if you just describe the scene well enough the miniatures aren’t needed. If you need help with setting the scene I suggest you try reading some fantasy and see how they set up scenes because that’s basically what you are doing. You are a narrator. It doesn’t come easy, I myself have been playing for 3-4 years and I’m not even close to being fantastic. you just gotta trust in your vision. The miniatures will accumulate through time

Our group has made a bunch of props out of card board boxes left over from pizzas and amazon orders. paint + cardboard = stone keep... also use water bottle paint them to look like tower turrets. you can also find free 3d paper craft buildings on the internet ink for the printer is the most expensive part. i also suggest printing on card stock for the 3d paper craft. you can pick up an 80 pack of card stock for 5$ or less at walmart

Try playing a halfling, if they ever roll a one they can reroll one time and take the next result.

Awesome! Check out Season 2 - it goes a lot longer and really shows the growth from newbie players.

I played, back in the day, in the mid-80s 1st edition AD&D, a now accepted convention (a "house rule"), which was that a "natural 1" always missed, and a "natural 20" always hit. A second 20 was (another house rule) was double damage. (A VERY common house rule until 2nd ed., when it adapted to "Roll again", and if you get further 20s in a row, the multiplier increased. Stupid rare, but happened.) One session I had, in 1986, actually mimicked the 3.5 version, but the DM (who had played with Gygax in GenCon sessions, and he [according to reports and some of the artifacts in the old DM's guides] tended towards lots of magic items/artifacts in order to have very High Fantasy encounters where he would totally screw over characters: think Celtic mythic fantasy and Old Testement regarding the fall out ) had a table from a different game for crits. I nailed 2 nat 20s, in a game when my 3rd level fighter should never have had a chance to hit the Type IV demon with a magical longbow. Normally 3x damage, but again there was this crit table he had longed to use the third tier of. "Roll again". I got an 18. DM Steve stated, "Never used this tier, so... Close enough... Roll percentile dice." I rolled. Something that paralyzed the demon by slicing through its spine. It had, with 3-4 of its buddies, risen up from a "bottomless pit". He ruled the bugger was one-shoted by a 3rd level human fighter. Her name was Amious SImmerblade. She retired after that adventure, though by the end of it she had a keep, thanks to a Deck of Many Things, a magical set of full plate mail, and was level 7.
