CelebriD&D with Joe Manganiello (Full Version)

[@imrbrt]

I've never been exposed to D&D at all aside from small bits from tv/movie. Happened upon this video from another video where Joe got a new D&D table. This was pretty awesome! It was like watching a movie with a choose your own adventure twist to it. And the dungeon master was phenomenal. Bravo!

@imrbrt if you liked this i recommend checking out *Son of a Dungeon* which is on the youtube channel *Corridor Crew*, they're all cgi artists that did a 10-ish episode season-long d&d campaign and have 3d printed maps and dungeons that they cgi their characters into, it's pretty awesome.

Joe is so low key- until his turn, then it's like a lightning strike. Any being that can steal the Hand of Vecna from Vox Machina gets major respect.

[@zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba0]

He kinda just swings, hopes for crits. And then does like every paladin and asks for D8's like he made the class. Or me an my entire table laugh at him cause Fire breath isn't a bonus action. But he does it at every fuckin table lol.

[@theherrdark4834]

That low-key is possibly from his yinzer background.

[@norandomnumbers]

@@zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba0 Fire Breath should be a bonus action though. It's worthless in combat 99% of the time otherwise.

[@donjonmastergaming5911]

@@norandomnumbers with the new dragonborn UA (likely coming in the fizban book) Dragonborn can use breath weapon in place of one weapon attack, which feels MUCH nicer

[@norandomnumbers]

@@donjonmastergaming5911 I'm not waiting on UA or books for the fix, I run a homebrew campaign and allow my players to use it as a bonus action. The problem with allowing it to replace one attack is that often just hitting with your weapon is still way more effective than using the breath weapon.

Jesus.. Joe would be a nightmare for a control freak DM. He knows his shit, he built a very capable character and there is very little hesitation in his play style. A weak DM would simply lose control of the table. A control freak DM would kill or cripple his character somehow.... but a good experienced DM that wants to create a fun challenging experience would love him. New players can learn from this guy... ive played dungeons and dragons since 1979. He is one of the best players I've ever seen.

[@andreacallegari7137]

I mean, he has built a simple paladin. The DM built the oneshot around his character- there were undead foes that he could control, no flying enemies that he was unable to reach (I have the feeling the Manticore wouldn't have fought them while flying). How a DM could lose control of the table or become frustrated over a DMG subclass is beyond me

[@joeholtz5395]

When Jaffe rolled the 2 20's he should have gotten a much bigger part to act. He said he'd never done that and he's been playing forever. I would have made something miraculous happen.
