I had my first DnD game last night with a group of friends. Without spoilers for Baldur's Gate, we had to protect this woman from a band of pirates coming for her. Right when the combat started, one of the city guards was leaving the room, and I was going to let him go. But my friend rolled persuasion (Char 6) and convinced him to stay in the fight.... We definitely would have lost without his tanky health pool. Something so small did so much! Love DnD.

My very first character was a human valor bard, all the way back in 2014, sadly, I never got to play him more than 1 session. My friend who ran the game moved away due to financial reasons, and the guy who took over ran "politics and dark souls" the dnd campaign, where he jerked himself off all for telling all the players to figure it out when no one spoke Draconic and the only quest he was allowing was coming from a dragon who spoke only Draconic... Currently, my favorite combination is hexblade warlock/forge cleric.

To be honest you should not take notes on things related to the basic info of the setting you're playing in (unless you realy want to), thats why we have compemdiums with these info, and if it is a custom made scenario the DM is the compemdium. Otherwize the players will be writting an enitre book of info by the end of the first hour of gameplay. Players should take notes of stuff pertaining to the adventure they are going on, cause thats their responsability, in my games if I tell ppl the name of a contact for example and they don't take notes and forget the name, then thats their problem to solve how they are gona locate the contact they don't have the name of anymore, but basic scenario backstory should be public knowledge provided in material acessible to the players (or by the GM when asked).

Altorin Currently playing a Pathfinder version of one of my most played characters, Lazam Janzin. The quintessential Halfling Rogue, with a utility belt of random situationally useful objects like flour, ball bearings, caltrops, chalk, a crowbar, oil, etc. His best friend is a big, ugly Half-Orc Barbarian named Thorn Bloodfist. Not only is he nearly always on Thorn's shoulder, but Thorn also serves as his pack mule for all his goofy little items. I initially had a 6 in Strength that was reduced to a 4 because of the Halfling racial penalty, but upon doing some math, we found out that I wouldn't even be able to wear my armor without breaking my light load (and getting disadvantage on basically everything as a result). Swapped around stats a bit to get a 6 in Strength post-penalty, so that I could at least wear armor and carry a weapon. Thorn carries everything else. Really fun way to interconnect two characters, opens up loads of RP potential.

Question... how did you pitch "I want to teach kids D&D as a class" to admin? I realize it's an AV class but I feel like I would bump into a stick in rump scenario should I try. Love it though. Keep it up.

I think it's the afterschool AV club
@BillAllanWorld6 жыл бұрын
Here's the set up: all of these kids are advanced students in my media class. We have a full TV station at the high school (on cable and the web), and kids can take the class as a repeated elective. Sean, for example, has taken the class like 13 times. So, the advanced group decided to make the show their ongoing series (instead of something like a talk show, news program, etc.) We also have the club, which allows kids who are not in the class to participate in LTTV. So sometimes the crew are kids from the club. So really, there was no pitch to admin, because we've always had student-produced programming. My administration is very supportive of our program, and they see the value of kids taking control of their own learning and embracing our program. What's cool for me personally is that they wanted to do D&D after they learned of my love for the game.

Got ya. Very cool. I'll admit I showed bits of I believe S1E3 to my "AV" class last week as an exemplar / help push some ideas / discussing lighting and angles and showing them what other students had done as a preface to their upcoming project. They asked "Is that what we have to do?" inside I might have pouted, but no, I'm not forcing their project down any road. Thanks for the reply. Props to the kids. \o_

This is baaaasically the High School version of something like Critical Role, just with relatively inexperienced players. It’d probably be easier to sell a project like this to school administration using that & what Bill & the LTTV students have done here as examples. Theater / Improv / TV Production all naturally ties in & if you bring the students in on world building / lore you could even tie in Creative Writing as you assemble a show bible.

I hate to be that guy, but the rogue should have gotten sneak attack when riding on the halforc's back. All you need is for an ally to be within 5 feet of the person you're attacking to get sneak attack. Also, the warlock should be adding her proficiency bonus to her spell attacks. Otherwise, fun stuff.

YOU GUYS SHOULD DEFINITELY STREAM
@BillAllanWorld6 жыл бұрын
We're able to stream. But where we're still in limbo is where and when to stream. Twitch or KZbin? Do we stream when the class plays the game (Fridays at 2 pm)...and if so would anyone be watching at 2 pm? One thing we were thinking was maybe having 1 live streamed game per month, kind of like a special thing, with student moderators on the chat. What do you think?
@VanxHelsing036 жыл бұрын
Streaming in twitch is better and announcing it on you tube is the way to go from what I heard. Streaming is also real hard. I assume the students still have school to worry about and has a limited time to prepare and stream. Oh yeah, normally D&D streamers play for 3-4 hours per session. Why do you guys only play for 1h 30mins? It's better for you guys to set the time yourselves because the viewers will have schedule problems regardless. Just like me who will probably only watch replays. If you guys steam on week days. Streaming once a month is also a nice start. Since you guys are stil in internet limbo. I recommended streaming because you guys will get more donations by streaming. 1,000 twitch viewers are stronger than 100,000 views in youtube. it also comes with giving more effort to communicate with the viewers. It's either you keep the chat on while playing(not recommended for D&D streams) or schedule a Q&A video once a month maybe... Like I said, steaming is really hard. Lastly, love the show and I wish I had a awesome teacher like you in highschool and sorry for righting a novel.
