The Party: "But you didn't really _do_ anything." The Bard: "Doesn't matter, had sex."

[@discokossan]

Lmao

[@milesmatheson1142]

When your entire party is getting gank'd and you're just a Bard... . . . . . . . . . . . *plays lute, tears streaming*

[@milesmatheson1142]

"A woman under each arm, and I know where we're going next!" Lol, Bards done right!

[@milesmatheson1142]

"Try not to get shanked by an angry Dwarf" Excellent advice, in-game, and in real life.

[@oathkeeperofoblivion972]

the vid that inspired me to try to start a d&d club, teacher: "its not educational" me:"maths" teacher:" it's too violent" me:"you don't HAVE to kill ANYTHING" teacher: "satanism and witchcraft." me: *facepalm*

[@weslooos]

It does depend on the dm an the game you run but a list of arguments you can give next time. Its trains social skills. how to handle social situations, problem solving, Teamwork, how to keep a agenda. as a dm.. wel: creative thinking, problemsolving, conflict resolution, improvisation. Group management skills, communication skills. math. Project planning. RPG games like D&D or pathfinder or 13e age or something is very educational. And well you don't have to use demons and such. -_-

his name is Jeffery

[@lucas23453]

Don't forget to have it be possessed by the soul of strahd so that it is also a vampire, and have a werewolf scratch it and it be a full moon all of a sudden. And give it a horrible disease where every time it is hit, a pustule bursts to create a black pudding that makes baby rust spitters.

[@sylusvegeta]

To take a note from cinemasins... '1 minute 4 seconds for one intro. On an internet video.'

[@TtheWriter]

This series has one hundred and thirty-three episodes planned (so far) and they average between forty and sixty minutes. This series is NOT for the impatient, they're long videos with long stories. It's not unusual to have a cold opening that explains what a series is and what it entails. (That and I have all my own music so I wanted to use the whole thing at least ONCE) Show some patience, and the introductions will be shorter from here on out. =|

[@robertlombardo8437]

[@alexandersmith1777]

Hoping to start a mostly Family D&D group whilst hiding from Covid-19. Will give a full report later but I plan to use Fifth Edition's original starter set to train myself as a proper Dungeon Master and later explore the Forgotten Realms setting. Your one of my big inspirations for this idea, T and most of my family said yes to this experiment! My father even came out and said he used to play Keep On The Boarder Lands while in collage.

[@whodunitassassin1072]

I was just thinking of rewatching your older videos starting with Spoony and this pops up in my subscription feed. Great new intro man, although I do miss the bookshelf.

[@TtheWriter]

We all do, but my studio space is limited and sound quality was always a thing so some sacrifices had to be made in the name of progress.

It's fitting that a younger person, who's obsessing over *Diversity* , would be in a Berlin-like city.

Hey thanks! I'm glad to bring it back and give it a proper telling now that I'm not pausing, stuttering, drinking a drink and sitting in awkward silence in front of the camera, hahaha! It felt "right" this time around! :)

Hey, T! Some time ago, I asked for some advice with my new tabletop gaming channel. I took your advice, and my channel is now in full swing! Thanks for your help.

[@TtheWriter]

Hey excellent! Good luck to you, make sure you have fun with every single video! It's a labor of love. :)

[@g0lddenpanda828]

I remember a time when in D&D my character had gotten an experimental repeating musket and my first shot with the thing i got a nat 1. This caused for it to misfire and all the gunpowder ignited, instantly killing me and another person in my party. The other party member was critically wounded. But with my musket exploding the shrapnel hit almost every enemy in the room letting the remaining party member kill off the drow in the room and stabilize me and the other that got knocked out. It was a good time that day......we also found a tarusqe (probably spelled wrong) egg-that was fun......

[@ShackleYT]

this is one of, if not my favorite d&d story, I've retold it several times, and because of it, I've gotten some of my own stories to share. (most notably the time our barbarian literally flipped a warehouse) but this is still probably in my top 3. I LOVE IT! ROCK ON SPOONY!!

[@Rumige]

I’ve missed these stories

[@ThatGuyOrby]

With my summon monster spell i killed 3 lvl 1 trolls with a lvl 1 poisonous frog. I was with one side character who was an inept fighter who was full of himself. The poison frog could only do 1d3 +1 poison. All the trolls were asleep and i poisoned all of them and gradually wore them down with a frog they only needed to be hit once to die and he did...one turn before the last troll died of poison.

The joke with the barmaid is from "the gamers"...

[@TtheWriter]

Yep.

[@TheBestestKitty]

Yes, I suppose normies would be cowed by the grand intellect of us aspies Tbh they’re way more common than you think. We just try to fit in as much as possible.

[@quicwaterr8527]

I go by the logic all normies just haven't found their place yet and since they have no group or chatroom or whatever they don't get good enough to join just with skill, don't insult the normies invite them! plz.. I'd like a table...

[@stevewright8284]

Question: I’m assuming the factions needed all 5 pieces to make the demon. So why not just get one of the pieces and be done with the quest. You’ve stopped them from recreating the demon at that point.

[@Grizzdrop]

*based on the first bit of the quest* if I was a player here and not the gm (this sounds like something I would have run ) my first question would have been to inspect the vault and try and find out HOW it was broken into

[@The_Totes_Adorbs]

I so can't ever get enuff of Spoony, how would he do in Zombie Town? :U

[@alexsgamingshow2474]

Currently listening to your stories whilst righting my first 3.5 campaign inspired by Marvel's Infinity War! Maybe I'll tell my story in a similar format of your channel! :D

[@bluehoseok]

I have a feeling I am going to enjoy your re-tellings. I like the new intro too :)

[@TtheWriter]

Thank you very much! The series intro was a bit longer than I wanted, but everything pictured is mine and the music and pixel art are all mine. So I'm safe from copyright strikes and such here on youtube. This is gonna be one MOTHER of a project to redo and retell just about everything. But the step-up in quality and such will be worth it! :D

[@bluehoseok]

I like it :) You've come a long way since you and I started some years back. I'm happy to see you become so successful. Keep up the good work!

[@guypalperson928]

I hope to one day genuinely play D&D, and the first thing I'm gonna play? A Spoony Bard.

[@frodolives6671]

I have to write a 10 page essay, I remembered this channel from a few years ago and I'm exited to listen again!

[@frodolives6671]

I don't know how old it is but I'm loving the new music for the intro and outro

[@umbreongaming7788]

So glad you're retelling this Tony, it's probably my favorite story or tied for it, can't wait for part 2.

[@TtheWriter]

Should be in just a few days. I'm recharging my studio lights as we speak. :)

[@umbreongaming7788]

Thinking about it I've given a few of my friends your original telling of this. He was dying laughing, then I gave him Noahs video. Now time to give him this video too. Btw, did you see that Noah uploaded a new video the same day you put this out? The stars aligned apparently :) But I can't wait for the next part!

[@TtheWriter]

I didn't see that! Thanks for telling me, this should be fun to watch!

[@umbreongaming7788]

It was, until my mother asked what it was because I was playing it without my headphones, and then she said D&D was demonic and evil, and my worse nightmare was realized... but yea, never watching critical role again like that.

[@danielramsey6141]

UmbreonGaming Sorry to hear that. Clearly certain aspects of D&D are not for some people.

[@pepethesquid3827]

I made an Elf-like Batman who is also an Arcane Trickster

[@ladyj.9350]

The plague = resident evil

[@benjamincameron3427]

Hey great job! I personally I never watched the earlier episodes, such as this one. But hearing it now is amazing! I wish my campaigns where like this. The only thing I can really remember is the time I tried jumping on top of a bug bear that was about to cut my friends head off, (long story) and missed, landing right next to the bug bear in loosing my tooth instead of on top of it. Still did confuse the ever living hell out of the beast though.

[@TtheWriter]

I figured my skills had developed enough to warrant redoing the early stuff and increasing the overall quality of the show. :)

[@rileyshelton3147]

Love your videos

[@exterminator122]

I played a utility wizard once, for roughly 4 sessions. I ended up talking in private with DM asking him to kill me off because i wanted to reroll, then i regretted it afterwards because he was so fun to play. The DM was happy to kill it off because for the few sessions i played him, i always came up with a clever way to solve a problem and had a spell ready for any situations. My only damaging spell was the cantrip acid splash, and i had a crossbow, that i used once and missed.

[@TtheWriter]

That's the thing with magic users. They often have very simple solutions for very complicated problems and DM's can balk and them sometimes. XD

[@tzimiscelord8483]

around 27, the back to back resi 4 and elder scrolls references are the best. SKOOMA FOR DAYS

[@MojaveX07]

Love the retelling and all the new details....Also getting a few new ideas to use in my Friday games >:3 (especially the door rigged with dimension door, hehehe)

[@TtheWriter]

It's just mean isn't it? But its a great way to disorient players based on location. There's always that one player that walks around trying to map the place, so it's fun to mess with them that way.

[@harveynorton3666]

I like your music choice for the video. What is the name of the song? I would love to play it at a local open mic... Peace, love, and light

[@EugeneRedgrove]

Man I have to say that this was a great idea. It really doesn't even sound close to the original story with the greater amount of details and descriptions. Hope to see more retellings!

[@TtheWriter]

More to come soon, this video already has almost a thousnad views in a day. I need to get hot and make this happen!

[@kang-yq2ub]

[@marten7715]

Haven't listened to these in forever. Sad to see that the old theme song finally died.

[@TtheWriter]

Yeah. I was digging after the guy that originally did the jingle and the other guy that did the song itself, but both of them are out of the music business now and won't do anything new. And its very hard to find a serious musician that would do a "theme song" for something like this. At least I have a few pleasant jingles to use, still. :)

[@retrored9289]

I liked the higher amount of detail in the retelling, I do remember you stating DM street is after multiple hallucinations in the actual first episode, but you only talk about one this time although the fact we learn it's 'the world eater' is interesting, but the monk was right it was kinda a big giveaway.

[@pathfinderb-sides6077]

@@TtheWriter that really sucks. I think that video is what caused me to fall in love with dungeons and dragons. My party (like, a session after I saw your video) went into the sunless citadel, and we met Calcryx (that white dragon wyrmling?) And I fed it and it became my partner. I fell in love with dragons and have had a dragon in every campaign I've run, even creating an entirely new breed of dragon for my universe. The Purple dragons have got stone breath, which they use to store their food, and can use the same breath to turn stone to flesh, to eat their food.
