How To Keep Your Players’ ATTENTION In D&D

LET'S PLAY D&D!! 🌟 Patreon: www.patreon.com/bobworldbuilder Click "See all 4 levels" to see the Keystone +Plus tier and join my upcoming campaign! :D

[@JordanQureshi]

Do you know anything about the summer camp taking place? It hasn't been officially cancelled yet, so I was wondering if you had any inside information.

[@BobWorldBuilder]

You know about as much as I do! I'm hoping it happens, and I know there will be pretty drastic health and safety changes if it does

[@PercussiveGuy13]

I may be super late, but are there any openings left in the online campaign?

[@harpymaslow]

I don't know if you've already been told but I think you're the Bob Ross of D&D. Kind, calm and with awesome advices

[@BobWorldBuilder]

I have been told this and I always like hearing it xD Thank you!

[@dndlover28]

This !!!

[@cferdinandi]

Was literally just thinking the same thing!

[@DrIngo1980]

Love it! That's a great comparison.

[@dustinthewin]

That is the most accurate description! Completely agree

[@Aaron-mj9ie]

"If you're still watching, it worked." Okay, ya got me.

[@paulhorn7855]

I wish I had teachers like you when I was in school. I would have done soooooo much better. Thank you for helping to build a better tomorrow sir..

[@BobWorldBuilder]

That is very kind! Thank you :)

[@ricardo.sander]

I started to DMing recently and I am D.M. a campaign fully based on character's background. I had luck my players wrote backgrounds with hooks I could use and they are loving it. Every section I ask them publicly and privately what they liked, loved, disliked and what they think cold be better and it is being very helpful.

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Then you are doing GREAT! You're going to have an awesome and memorable campaign if you keep that up :)

[@_evillevi]

"Never check the rules" is beautiful and I'm never going to stop using it.

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Haha, admittedly that’s one I don’t always do because it’s pretty quick to share spell details with online d&d, but I still highly recommend it! :)

[@stuartmccubbin932]

Your experience as an educator really shows in your speech patterns structure and pacing, loving the videos keep it up :D

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Thanks a ton!

[@HHSDaily]

Another tip to elaborate on tip 7 Use eatable enemies for combat encounters. It is super satisfying getting to eat your adversary after a lengthy combat session. Great tips. Definitely be using these in my future DMin endeavors

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Ahh, of course! Thank you for the bonus tip, Jaime! :D

[@samsharp5352]

engaging player backgrounds has 2 benefits: keeps them engaged and you as DM don't have to come up with as many hooks and plots from scratch. When running multiple campaigns, I fin it gets very difficult to keep coming up with new, interesting, original ideas, so prompts are defo my saving grace.

[@omicroneridani7456]

This guy's really got a way. Mellow, confidential approach, soft show of expertise, laid back eloquence. No wonder he's getting popular!

[@M240-x7y]

I am a first time DM at the moment but have been in several campaigns as a player over the past year, and I'm trying to do Icewind Dale: ROtF right now. Your guides have been incredibly helpful, thank you!!

[@Lightrider-oy2qb]

That Michael Bay gag was amazing

[@DungeonClass]

These are Great tips and usable techniques for even the experienced Dungeon Master! I especially like tip 3, check in with your players, super important! Great job Bob!🙂

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Thank you, coach! I agree that one is right up there with setting expectations as some of the most important guidelines for a fun and long-lasting campaign :)

[@DungeonClass]

Bob World Builder 😂lol It’s DungeonClass not Dungeon Coach but that happens a lot. I’m sure He will agree that this was a good video.

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Oh sheesh! I hope I haven't done that before xD He tends to comment early, and your comment even had a similar tone to his haha. Thank you for understanding! Lol

[@daviddobbs6296]

So glad you made this video. My ten year old just told me last night our sessions have become a little boring and upon reflection I realized I had stopped doing many things you brought up in this video. Speaking of working with kids...how much do you share with younger players in regard to helping them along with the game? My 16 year old needs no help but my 10 year old struggles. Really hope the best for you during this time.

[@BobWorldBuilder]

At your service, David! :) That's pretty funny though, most players aren't that honest and will let a game spoil rather than tell their DM how they feel! As far as sharing with players, I guess it depends on the situation, but I rarely withhold any information. Like after the first round or two of combat, I tell them the AC and give pretty clear hints about how much HP the enemy has left. If it's regarding a puzzle or simply where to go next, encourage the players by just going along with anything they suggest, but coming up with some reason to make it seem the they found the "correct" answer. Basically, there should never be only one way for players to do something. Once the players are more comfortable trying out their ideas, the game will run much more smoothly

[@daviddobbs6296]

Bob World Builder Thanks!

[@RIVERSRPGChannel]

Good tips I try to use these at my table. With 10 players it's tough to keep them engaged. Sorry about the lay off, good luck.

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Wow! 10 is crazy! I did that with a group who had never played before and it went okay, but I doing that on a regular basis would be exhausting! And thank you, uncertain times ahead, but I'm confident it will turn out alright :)

[@edgreenwood4255]

What a cool cat. More D&D channels like this, please. I.E. a real human being, not fastidious hyper-nerds or smug, aggressive little child-men, or even a half-tyrannical taskmaster. Genuine humanity, like Web DM or the Dungeon Dudes. Wonderful video, signor.

This is my first comment to ever leave on KZbin but I want to do everything I can to help. Best to ya

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Awesome, thank you so much! The easiest way to help is to share my videos with people you know who like D&D or want to learn about it! :)

[@CoachIQ]

Really appreciate the tips and advice you have been giving! Sorry for the temporary loss. That being said, I literally started back up in D&D in December for my son and his friends with Dragon of Icespire Peak and your page provided WONDERFUL tips and advice in running the campaign more efficiently! I now currently am running it again but with two different groups and still refer back to your page since you keep providing great tips and advice! Keep up the great work! Thank you and good luck!

[@BobWorldBuilder]

It's awesome to hear these videos are becoming a long term resource for you! Definitely share them with your other groups if any of those players plan to run DoIP in the future! And please let me know what topics you would like to hear more about (DoIP specifics, or any D&D topics)! :)

[@ataubjr]

Hey, Bob. I've been playing tabletop RPG for about 20+ years now. I'm a DM most of the time and our group plays anything, but for the most part of our lives, we've been playing GURPS. It's been like 1 and half since our last play session and we're about to start over again, and now we'll go with a brand new D&D campaign (as it saves preparation time for busy adults like us). I've been watching your videos for a couple of weeks now, looking for tips to get rid of the rust and, thank you very much. I think I'm ready to go! Greeting from Brazil and keep the good work!

[@Nix7c0]

As someone who watches tons of DnD DM-tips videos like podcasts throughout the day, I could tell quickly how well crafted and thoughtful this video was going to be, and it absolutely was! Keep up the awesome work, I look forward to your further videos :)

[@BobWorldBuilder]

I appreciate that! This one really flowed while scripting and thinking of graphics and jokes. The topic helped a lot, haha

[@kaiit10]

To engage them i have a player that goes to be an antagonist. The thing is, he is "supposedly a vampire" but it's only a blood hunter with charm and a life stealing rapier. But they don't know that. They just encounter with him, he spaced out a player on a room and literally terrorised the others on the other side of the locked room. Now a player is marked and this character know where he is every time. Good session.

[@ChrisN1973]

Hey Bob. You just became my favourite KZbin D&D channel. Thanks for all your fantastic work and I wish you continued success, brother!

[@dreamingforward]

Some great ideas! I'm surprised I never heard anyone suggest a timer before. An egg timer or something that gives regular ticks really would get the blood going. Under "stacks and drinks" you should have mentioned to put your Doritos in a bowl, rather than listen to the continual distraction of players eating out of a crinkly bag.

Great stuff as always. Sorry to hear about your job...it's a tough, scary time for sure. With these tips applying primarily to in person games, I was wondering if you would consider doing a video on tips to keep your online sessions engaging? I DM a campaign as well as play in another campaign, both online. As a player, I sometimes find myself zoning out as it's hard to really get a feel at times for what is going on, so I simply just tag along until I can focus back in. We have a great DM so no complaints there, but online play definitely presents its own challenges. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@BobWorldBuilder]

So now my group consists of a wizard with an imp familiar, a fighter/rogue with a wolf companion, the goblin Droop they saved an made friends with, and now this beast of an owlbear. Not sure if there just wanting it for a meat shield/tank or if they learned all the consequences there murder hobo action had(cause there was a few...) and maybe there trying to be "nicer".
