How to play Dungeons & Dragons: Adventure Begins

[@peterdemuth]

Very helpful, thank you. I just bought the games this weekend and played it today with my kids; we had a great time and even made it against the Kraken!

[@JestaThaRogue]

Thanks Peter! Glad you had a good time!

[@Ellhaim]

That was very succinct, but it would be very helpful to see these things, even just a mock game, to let it all sink in a bit better. Examples really help when trying to explain things.

[@JestaThaRogue]

That’s not the kind of video I make, sorry.

[@Dndsteve5e]

I got my son this for xmas based on this video i'm excited to play as we love d&d and board games getting the starter sets too Our intro to d&d is the new partworks magazine but we need stuff to fill gaps between issues

[@JestaThaRogue]

That’s great to hear Steve! Hope you enjoy it!

[@rae9880]

Thanks for the video. I've just got this for my kids to play. I'm also new to D&D so will be glad of the simplistic entry 😅

[@JestaThaRogue]

Have fun!

[@Robbo-qi2zl]

I just got this to get my kids into D&D. I love how simple it is. Some say it's too simple, but for entry level young kids, it's a great way to get them into the game quickly.

[@JestaThaRogue]

Agree completely!

[@mauriecain7849]

Me too! Now if you haven’t yet, check out knave, mouseritter both free) and tiny d6 dungeons (cheap)! All really good for kids!

[@Robbo-qi2zl]

@@mauriecain7849 Awesome, I’ll check it. Thanks 😊

[@milin1]

Good day. How do you define who moves to Monster Space or who moves along the Core space? Is it something that a game card defines randomly or a choice of an individual player ?

[@JestaThaRogue]

Players choose!

[@milin1]

@@JestaThaRogue I see , but who choos what type of monster will be there , and how one (player) establish that he will go Off the course to attack monsters, do he need to roll anything, because it wont be fair for group to wait for one if they don't want too or they will join him automatically if he starts the fight ? Thank you 🙂

[@CrazyChair-vy8gb]

Thanks for teaching me

[@JestaThaRogue]

No problem!

[@misterdiddly]

Do you use special abilities before, after or instead of attacks? That part wasn’t very clear in the rulebook

[@JestaThaRogue]

Not much is clear in the Rulebook. Just play which is most fun and thematic.

[@OutlawJJ80]

TYVM For the Vid!

[@JestaThaRogue]

Thanks Outlaw!

[@chrisjames8324]

If you die fighting the boss, can you buy back in to keep playing? It says that if you die, you can't join again until the next core space. If you can't buy back in during fighting the boss, it seems pretty impossible to win! Cheers!

[@JestaThaRogue]

I would assume so. A lot of the rules are not clear so just play what makes you happy :)

[@JimTester]

With the persoality tile, why is it 2 sided? When do you use the dice scores on the reverse?

[@JestaThaRogue]

I don't have the game anymore to check and BGG is down... But it's two-sided to give you an option of which role to play I believe? Not sure about the dice I'm afraid unless it's just the attack/ability target number to roll?

[@darkarchebluegalaxygaming6047]

I have a question when rolling for initiative when other hero's are in combat and it says "who ever has the highest roll gets to go first " does that mean they can leave the battle or take a go and continue fighting I'm not sure due to it being my first time playing and also being DM so I'm just unsure in playing the game as a whole though I don't have the set yet I just ordered it so it wont be here for a while so I cant look at the rule book is all. and thanks for the video it is so far making a lot of sense. oh and if you cant answer the question its cool I did look at other comments and you said the rulebook was really vague so no pressure if you can't answer. thanks again I'm also just very much enjoying the video.

[@JestaThaRogue]

Sounds about right :)

[@Musuclubu]

When we reset an enemy's life, does he still make the last counterattack?

[@JestaThaRogue]

I don’t think so no but I don’t have the game to check sadly.

[@ros7007]

I was disapointed with how this played. I love D&D and I love dungeon crawler games, but this was missing something. On the other hand my 8 year old loved deciding how to use the items in his backpack to defeat monsters.

[@JestaThaRogue]

Yeah me to. I was hoping there would be more to it. Glad your kid enjoyed it though!

[@godlessandlovingit]

as long as the kid had fun isn't that the important thing? you can gradually open him up to more complex games because of it

[@ros7007]

@@godlessandlovingit for sure, he's already loving Clank! and we've promised him the legacy version for Christmas. He's played through Zombie kids so he gets the basic idea of legacy.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

I came across it at a department store yesterday.

[@JestaThaRogue]

Yeah, it’s very accessible, designed for mass sales.

[@e-4airman124]

talk to fast

[@JestaThaRogue]

Type too few

[@vaindioux]

@@JestaThaRogue yes way too fast. Had to watch another.

[@JestaThaRogue]

I’m ok with that. I can’t talk slower than this without it sounding weird.

[@ericstorm124]

@JestaThaRogue don't listen to it, mate, you're dealing with idiots if they can't understand this 🤣🤣

[@JestaThaRogue]

It’s ok. Everyone is different. This is the style of video I make, there are plenty of others if people don’t like them.

[@stanlivshin227]

just explaining rules is a terrible way to teach someone how to play ... you just have to show by example how to play it ... duhhhhh

[@JestaThaRogue]

What?
