In other words ... don't play a thief and then pull he DM aside for some side thief adventure. Everyone hates "OK, hang on, I have too talk to the DM" then "OK, DM, so I sneak away from the party and do X". ie; the game is for everyone, not several separate mini-games.

I accidentally volunteered to be a DM for my younger cousins (I'm 26, they're all around 15/14). They all have pretty bad social anxiety, and we aren't very close. They really want to play, but needed a DM. I'm hoping this can be a fun way for us to hang out, and bring them out of their shell a bit! Thank you for making these videos, it really helps. I want to learn as much as I can before our first session!

I can relate, it's really hard to get into group activities when you have social anxiety. I would recommend online D&D at first. People are usually friendly with beginners and if you do not like the group you can just disconnect. Local shops and D&D groups are risky, because you might run into a bunch of idiots first time and that is a way harder impression thenan online one and might make you lose interest completely in the game.

I’m about the same age, I got into DnD while deployed in the army. We had limited resources and no power, so it was perfect for down time. I now play pathfinder in a group of about 10 we are all prior military law enforcement guys and we’ve had the campaign running for about 6-7 years. It’s tough to learn but stick with it and don’t be afraid to go to your local gaming store see if there are any groups you can play with. I’ve had so many laughs, memories and good times playing. I’m currently about to start teaching my wife and three sons how to play, maybe spark interest and have good family laughs as well. Good luck on your journey! Biggest tip I can give once you learn the rules, build a character that fits your own personality. Find something that comes naturally to you or you enjoy. Do you like gambling? A chaotic based character might be for you. One of the most fun characters I played personally was a witch. I didn’t do lots of damage but I made such a headache for my DM when fighting just being in a supportive role and the utility I brought to the group made me feel like a valued part.

Excellent video as always Nate, and welcome to any new D&D players (or those considering it) who are watching! Definitely agree with your advice that it's best to find someone else who already knows how to play and join a session. You can even ask to "observe" a few sessions first to understand how the game works. Or just grab/borrow a box set or the Player's Handbook and try to create a character or two to get started, that's how I began 😄

Critical Roll and shows like Big Bang theory, Dangerous creatures even the actual movie itself have assisted in creating interest in the Hobby. This can be seen as a good thing. The down side is the investment as the costs of books and the rules updates are a thing that can impact new players. What would you invest in a few hundred dollars of books and sets only to have to replace them in a few years time. Unlike a board game you can essentially just get the one box and run it without the problem.

I like the videos for beginners in 1982 I started with the majenta boxed set then the expert set then ad&d books came out , no easy access no internet just reading the books and slugging through things we had fun , argued about uncertain rules ( grey areas) It was a tougher way to learn, but it kept us out of trouble in the summer and winters. I would'nt change how I learned.However, it is much easier with youtube videos you can comment and ask questions when you get stuck. Bringing more people into the hobby is great fun !

I have two other suggestions: 1 videogame, 1 5e compatible. Sometimes people learn by doing and with a videogame angle Solasta: Crown of the Magister would be a good place to get your feet wet with 5e in video game form since its the closest in accuracy to how the 5e system works. Tho bear in mind your gm cannot replicate what Solasta does and you may have to pay a bit more for other classes but if you wanna be familiar with 5e it wouldnt hurt to play Solasta beforehand. Alternatively if you wanted a more streamlined approach to 5e based on an older version of dnd then Izegrim Creation's Bugbears and Borderlands might be worth checking out. For a dollar for the core book (or two for seperate versions for both player and gm) you will be able to play 5e in said streamlined format whilst still able to play all 5e modules (albeit with some cross referencing since skill checks have been trimmed in favor of direct ability checks) though converting bugbears and borderlands pcs to 5e proper might need some work due to said streamlining.

I would argue that buying the "Old School Essentials" rules book, is a good way to get into D&D, and then move onto 5e later, if you want to. OSE (using ascending armor class!) is quite newbie friendly! It's basically the old D&D Basic/Expert rules, redone in an easy to understand/look up format.

I played 35 years ago and now picking it up again with my 10 year old son. I'm using the starter set combined with the essentials set. Also picked up the players handbook and monster manual. I spent the past week preparing and your videos have been extremely helpful. I am not 100% on the rules but will improvise as we go as I am only aiming to make it fun and try to get my son into it. It is such a good way to develop your imagination. Thanks for your vids!

Dude what a well presented and thought out video! Thank you so much! Very informative. As someone who has been thinking of starting out D&D, do you think its possible to play with the starter set without anyone in the group having played before and with a beginner DM?

I’ve always wanted to play DND. I always had such a reactive imagination and creat storyline’s so easily and world building that someone asked me to be there DM. I refused because I didn’t wanna mess up but i always wanted to try once.

Start with 4-5. I started with 9 and no one could shut up for 5 minutes for me to describe a scene. Also, don't allow a lot of pets. Party pets become annoying to keep track of. If you are trying to create a good fight for a high level party, add more enemies than there are players. It makes it so they have to move, consider those around them, and be smarter in battle rather than saying "I want to bonk" over and over. Currently, I am DMing for a campaign that has been going for 2 years in a homebrew campaign with the world slowly falling into nonexistence as the gods rage war in the mortal realms. The party has a piece of the overgod and must find the other 4 pieces scattered through the realms. Lost gods try to tempt or help the party along the way. We started with around 7 people and some have come and gone. Currently, we are on 5-6 and are facing the problem of too many rogues.

This game came out when I was in Jr high or High School. I really wanted to play, but there was a geek stigma and I was more jock. I’m completely jealous now in my 50’s. May just take it up now.

Thanks for the info. Me and my roommates r really interested in trying this game out. We’re looking for another activity to get drunk with. We all love marvel, Harry Potter, lord of this rings, etc. But none of us have ever played this game. We just need to find someone with experience to be the Game Master. I’m so excited to give this game a try

"Basic Fantasy Role-playing Game" is free to download and the print version of books are nearly free (just the cost of printing). Its exactly like D&D but made by a community instead of a corporation.

I used to play AD&D and D&D 3th edition. I just bought the 5th edition Player's Handbook, the Essential Kit and the Starter Set (with the Blue Dragon )and I'm just waiting them to arrive. Is the 5th too different from the 3th edition?

Great vids! Do you have a good combat guide between a melee and a magic user could look like, I'm having a bit problem getting the combat to work when it's a caster vs a melee and also like a warlock who cast and use magic for example 😂 been a DM a short while now but struggling to get that kinda combat flowing 😅

I now have three young girls and a wife that want to take the leap into d&d, starting out with premade campaigns and then will move on to homebrew stuff if the initial experiment goes well. I may jave gone a bit overboard on more physical propa to keep them engaged, but im thinking it may be the way to keep them interested. Time will tell!
