Dungeon Dudes & @DnDDeepDive Studio Hangout Q&A

[@kallebuchholz2156]

A few weeks ago, I started my second Drakkenheim campaign. In my first campaign, I had a gang of optimizers with a good tactical mind on the table, and it was fun, but after Temple Gate, I threw my monster books away and designed my own creatures to challenge them. Now, in my second attempt, the players are all old (almost my age), and they are returning to DnD after a long break. None of them cares for optimation, and just one of them has the knowledge to optimize. But all of them are surprisingly versatile roleplayers, and my job right now is to lay back and watch them get into trouble. Both groups are fun, and thank you Dudes for all the books.

[@rayzor2121]

Regarding running short arc seasons. As well as Dimension 20, Oxventure also do roughly 10 episode seasons of DnD and other rpgs. It would be worth checking out, especially their non-dnd ttprpgs.

[@oscarius4]

Yeah, for non D&D stuff as well I work on a show called Mystery Quest, it's short self contained series 1-7 episodes in a variety of systems

[@njames206]

I love how Kelly is like "I'm doing so good not spoiling what's next," and Monty is like "here's what it's called, here's a bunch of the themes and tone we're going for, etc, etc, etc." lol

thanks

[@rasmub18]

Did not expect a Taylor Swift discussion on the front end of this. Love it! :)

[@AllNighterProduction]

Thought for Colby on team up builds. You could consider building a full team centered around a concept or just work well together and present them one at a time somewhat like Loquitor RPG does and not all at the same time.

[@Ozzma84]

Oh man I ficking love Arcane!!

[@mcphadenmike]

I love everything about this video.

[@mattfitzgerald7836]

25:00 D4B3 'D&D Deep Dive's Book of Big Bads'? or D6 'D&D Deep Dive's Dungeon Dads'? :)

[@carlosbaroni1158]

At the point at 1:08:55. In my games with my friends from time to time we invoke the “rule of cool” where we ignore or change rules in favor of a cool scene or event.

[@DojoBelok]

Colby, I said Guild Wars for one of my top games. The fact that you did is amazing. Would love to see you make a Mesmer in DND

[@DnDDeepDive]

I loved that game so much. Tried to get my wow guild to move over and it never stuck. So sad. The vistas! The WvWvW! So good.

[@DojoBelok]

@DnDDeepDive they just released a other expansion. It's a lot of fun with the flying mounts and exploring maps differently than when we only had jumping or gliding back in the day. Curious what your favorite class in GW2 was?

[@envytee9659]

​@@DnDDeepDive Glad to see more GW2 fans. Such a good MMO. I haven't played since End of Dragons and the end of the Elder Dragons Saga, however I've hear the community is as big as ever these days.

[@DnDDeepDive]

@ thief and dagger mage/wizard (can’t remember what they called them!)

[@DojoBelok]

@@DnDDeepDive probably Elementalist! Cheers

[@gimlym6641]

On the same page with Monty re: Rangers being the pet class with multiple Mark of the Xs instead of just "Hunter's Mark".

[@matthewwade8849]

Love to see another one shot together

[@jemimaunicorn6446]

In a 20th level oneshot I did a dance bard dip as a blade warlock to get better ac (using charisma for ac) . Alongside a dragon mask I had better ac than all the front liners (25ac with a few other items). It’s a useful dip for cha casters without armour.

[@av1dgamer]

What happened to Colby's sleeves?! 😂

[@averywhitaker3513]

He flexed

[@alexrobinet7576]

He min maxed his sleeves 😂😂

[@DnDDeepDive]

I stopped working out a long time ago. Instead, just buy progressively smaller shirts.

[@KelticPhoenix]

@@DnDDeepDivesomehow i think that is a lie. 😂

[@nikcantsnipe]

​​@@DnDDeepDive I know it is a lie but it is kind of a funny "genius" lie because I bet someone has done that.

[@av1dgamer]

Drizzt had a pet waaaaaay before WOW. Guen FTW!

[@Houster1000]

I like when players have resources in fights. It makes them way cooler. I like 1-3 encounters per long rest, where all combats are hard.

[@kallebuchholz2156]

»Colby’s tome of overpowered options« would be a bestseller. A book of species, subclasses, and feats.

[@iskandarthegreat0487]

Loved it guys! Wish I could have made the live!

[@av1dgamer]

Thor is an EK Fighter/Tempest Cleric for sure! 😁🤘

[@mezcla191]

With the new conjure spells sustain damage is not a problem. Matter of fact Treantmonk did a video about this (conjure woodland beings) is a problematic spell/playstyle. When it comes to casting a single spell that just wrecks a dungeon/BBEG lair then it becomes passing the druid or cleric with Spirit Guardians.

[@jericksonaudio1667]

1:18:01 Dropout mentioned!!!

[@trevorgreenough6141]

Arcane Hand? Cool. I have also made a monastic tradition for monk, Way of the Eldritch Blade. It is very difficult working within a tight framework to accomplish making something like that.

[@jamesfukai6064]

Dude! Colby as a metal dude with kids….swifties are the 8:19 Best fans 😊ever

[@guardiantree8879]

Top 3 games: Dragon Age, Mass Effect, & Super Smash Bros. I easily have the most hours in Skyrim, but it’s not necessarily my favorite. Still up there though. Honorable Mentions: Zelda, Fallout 4, Assassins creed Black flag, pokemon, digimon world/ cyber sleuth, Stellaris, Dragons Dogma & kotor (stars wars games in general though). As for missing subclasses, give me a plant & light themed circle of the Sun Druid.

[@misbac6105]

As someone with a cozy cottagecore silent valley campaign i feel called out.

[@shotgunridersweden]

I love the Drakkenheim products so far, the campaign is very well outlined, my only complaint is that the roll20 adaption has to many generic tokens without art for each npc . Its easy, but timeconsuming to fix on my part, but id love for this not to be the case in the monsters of drakkenheim book

[@ducky36F]

2:18:15 Veilguard warrior superiority 😂 Dragon Age 2 is my second favorite behind the original

[@SIratt180]

I just started watch the first season and I found it better then crit roll myself. So Much more real life play . that just my opinion tho. I watch all your guide on class for years never knew you did campaigns.

[@ShellySummers]

Favorite game hours played and I go back to. CITY OF HEROES!! Resident Evil, Elder Scrolls, Diablo Hot take: get rid of attack o😊f opportunity from non martials!

[@saintpaulsnail]

In comparison to the 2014 rules, I miss the Hexblade Warlock dip, and the Bladesinger.

[@TheCasualGM]

Answering a few of the questions for myself that the Dudes answered: "What character would you play in a Drakkenheim campaign:" I'm DMing the Drakkenheim game my group is playing, but if I were to be a player I would be Shadow Domain cleric from SCGD, seeing as they don't have a dedicated healer or a full caster. "Favorite Video Game/Top 3 Video Games series:" Favourite video game is Zelda Ocarina of Time. Top 3 favourite series are Zelda, Metroid, and Resident Evil. Favorite Metriod is a tie between Metroid Prime 3 and Dread, favourite Resident Evil is Resident Evil 4, both the OG and the Remake "What subclass that was missing from the 2024 PHB would you like to see get the 2024 treatment?" I have two answers for this, the Arcane Archer fighter, I really like the idea of it but the small amount of arcane shots really hinders the class and hope that it gets addressed, the shot choices also need to scale up sooner then 18th level. Second one is Alchemist Artificer, it had a good idea but poor execution. The free Experimental Elixir's you get per day need to not be randomly determined and also need to scale at some point (maybe at level 9?). Also needs an option for making poisons

[@danielandrae9743]

I made the BBEG of my game Zuggtmoy. You could either join her or fight her. In my game she kills loth and becomes a god

[@adamguy1984]

Love you guys… from someone watching friends m Texas as Canadians talk about tacos 3 hours in is triggering haha

[@av1dgamer]

Baldur's Gate 3, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, Elden Ring Ghosts of Tsushima, Diablo 2, RDR2, Witcher 3, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Shadow of War, Need for Speed Underground, Half Life 2, Warcraft, StarCraft, WoW, Destiny, Dawn of War, Borderlands 2, etc., ad nauseam. 😁🤘

Sounds like Monty should play Draw Steel! the MCDM RPG.

Someone’s gotta go through this again and then just transcribe all the quotables somewhere 😁 ~_~

[@garethhamilton1252]

When MCDMs Flee Mortals became too big they split it into two and gave backers the choice of paying extra for the Where Evil Lives book. I think most backers paid extra for the additional content.

[@sixaethereal5011]

the initial backers were under the impression that they would get 1 complete book for their contribution though

[@garethhamilton1252]

@@sixaethereal5011 true, but the extra cost was not large, just covering the shipping if I recall.

[@danjamin905]

I would argue ranger pets came from Drizzt.

Was intrigued by this, but it looks like it's spanish. Casa Bonita is a mexican restaurant in Denver, Colorado. Apparently it's famous because it was featured in a South Park episode :) the more we learn!!
