​@@GinnyDiI've found turning friends and family into dice goblins is a great way to find Christmas presents... especially since I'm usually scrolling through pretty dice saying "Ahhh but I shouldn't...I have so many..." And this gives me an excuse to at least hold them. Your parents are so cute, and actually sounds like they're really good players, they had a lot of fun!

I had a character for awhile that I kept bringing into new campaigns, because all my groups kept disbanding before he got to explore any of his backstory, and I kept hoping "this time, we'll get to it!" (We never did, btw 😔) He was a tiefling who was ashamed of his infernal heritage, so did everything to distance himself from it, including focusing on frost magic instead of fire, hiding his red skin and gold eyes behind thaumaturgy, keeping his horns and tail behind his hood and robes, and fighting for justice to offset the evil perception. ...I think he'd have been fine saying "hell", but hopefully the relevance makes sense? Or... maybe I've just rambled on about my character selfishly 😅

I DM'd for the first time in over 40 years. Now we're planning a session for New Year's Eve. Surprisingly, my wife is leading the charge! I just need a session 0 to get everyone on the same page.

Just stumbled across this and can only say thanks for sharing, this was great and congrats on having awesome and open parents. Fun fact aside, this was the complete opposite of my parent RPG experience. My parents had read somewhere that RPGs are imaginative and communicative, so they bought a starter set and prepared an evening for me and some friends (I was 10 at the time). It was great fun and after about 3 hours I was slain by a lizard man. Whereupon my parents closed the evening and said that now I knew everything they could teach me about it and from now on I should be the DM. And that's how I got into role-playing and being a DM.

quick tip for anyone who's doing a similar 'teach someone who's not accustomed to tabletop' game. if you have lots of sets of dice, mix them. it's a lot easier to say 'the d8 is the red dice' than describing it's shape or taking it and showing them 'this one'. if each dice looks distinct then it'll be easier, and if they're playing long term over time they tend to be able to recognise them.

So adorable! I also think it was quite obvious how much of a difference it makes who the dm is and how well they know you. You knew what would be boring for them so you did that for them but still made sure they could make their own choices regarding their characters, made sure the game wouldn't last too long, made it easier for them to recognise things on their character sheets, etc. - I think that can make a world of difference for someone who is reluctant to play. Had they just been thrown into a game with less help, they probably would've been overwhelmed and decided it just wasn't for them.

I got my mother to play her first ever D&D last summer, my brother, who had also never played, wanted to play and he wanted to get my mum to play too. So after convincing her, I put together a pair of characters for them, a mother and son duo (a human cleric and a half-elf paladin), and sent them to purify a fallen shrine of Lathander. There were some gnome merchants they met, they fought some imps and a warg, and ended up fighting a hobgoblin fighter based off one of my own D&D characters! Everyone had a fun time, although the session ran a touch longer than I intended (about 4 hours), and my mum was pretty tired by the end, but she understood the game, got into the roleplaying of her cleric, and came away saying the two most important things; 1) she had fun 2) she wasn't bored! 😂

The character creation conversation is a wonderful example of how inviting someone can make it and where to "edit" the process for newbies. Nicely done.

I've traveled with my now bedridden mom all over the world...and I've been trying to get her to play D&D5e for a long time. She would play with me knowing i love the game and want her to experience the joy of creating stories and more memories! I'll show her this videos for "inspiration!"

This was so pure and wholesome and perfect 😭 Maybe I'll send this to my Aunt and Uncle so they'll finally let me force them to play! 😂

Great generational post. As someone who first started roleplaying in the 70s - I love this!

My husband and I ran a D&D game for my family (parents, sister, brother, and brother-in-law) on Thanksgiving. None of them had played before and I was nervous sharing something I love with them (fear that they'd make fun of it). We all had a great time :)

My first time DMing was for my parents! Got a DND starter set for Christmas a few years ago. I was so impressed by my mom, a Chinese immigrant with almost zero experience with tabletop games, videogames, or even the basic concepts of fantasy worlds and characters. She was amazing!

Just hearing the names of their characters you can tell that they are already good at it and they are going to enjoy it. Even if your mom was resisting it at first! What an awesome experience to share your passion with your family ❤

I've re-watched this several times. So much fun! As a small boy, mom got me into Star Wars and the Chronicles on Narnia. My dad read me the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. I was destined to be the nerd/geek I am, and I'm proud to be that fellow Ginny, damn proud. I can tell your folks are proud of you too! However, I've never gotten my folks to play D&D with me! I've gotten close with some table top games with some D&D flavoring. This was super fun to watch and your parents are super awesome. Thank you Ginny for sharing this with the world.

actally my parents were the ones introducibg my brother and me to pen and paper, because they used to have a group when they were younger which eventually grew apart, so at some point my dad just preped an adventure for us to play as a family as someone who loves fantasy stories and has always been somewhat of a casual writer, I eventually got obsessed with the idea of making my storys interactive and now I'm continuing the family legacy by being the forever gm of my own pen and paper group (we're playing again on saturday and I'm really excited cause I'v prepared some new mechanics for them) 💜

This is such a joy to watch!! You're parents are such wonderful people. I've been playing for so long now, and the games get so intricate and complicated sometimes- this just reminded me how funny simple dnd games can be. I love the style of the video as well, with the interviews and how the table is set up. Loved this!!!

That is so cool! Your parents are awesome for doing this (probably for a whole lot more as well). I could never get my parents to play D&D with me. My father is struggling to keep up with a card game. I once tried to tell them what an rpg is and their response was: "but why would you spend time living another life? Why not spend that time living your own life?"
