I Played 6 Steam Games that Claim to be D&D

[@WilliamSRD]

You can tell I recorded most of this before I heard KZbin started cracking down on swearing! Apology for any audio issues in this one. Learning a new format came with some speed bumps that will thankfully not be present next time I make video like this!

[@paint4pain]

Yeah! I love Ironpineapple's Soulslike series and I love D&D! Perfect format!

[@kamenanew9867]

So cool you called out iron pineapple, right before you said that I was thinking of cool this is kinda like ip and his souls like series, and I'm loving it so far man, nice thanks.

[@AliCatGamer]

Glad you took a look at Sands of Slumber. The Dev worked very hard to make this and the voice team, including my self (I play Ashara) worked very hard to give life to all the characters. ❤

Yes, 100%

"Hey girl, you want some sneak?"

Heya!!! Just got word of this video as a voice actor for Sands of Slumber (voiced Urbane The Weapon Smith and some random NPCs) happy to see the support and love for the project. Just subscribed. ✌️🦊

[@sandsofslumbertherpg]

Was really cool to have you review our little game. I took several d4's worth of embarrassment damage but was happy that you enjoyed the game overall!

[@BraUnY74]

With Oh Dungeon Master I find it very funny that they probably use achivements to track how many pictures you've collected. They just don't know how to maintain information between scenes, and that's an unbelievable level of incompetence. Like, okay, you don't know how to set up persistent objects in whatever engine it is (I think it's Unity, so it's literally just calling DontDestroyOnLoad in Start() or constructor), but you can use files to store that information! There are like save/load systems in asset stores!

[@AdriftForWeeks]

As a fan of Iron Pineapple's videos I gotta say this was very much enjoyable like that. Keep it up!

[@HexGarry]

Ah, I remember the first time I got chased by an ogre. Age 17, on that day I learned that despite their large bodies they can be surprisingly adept at operating vehicles

[@WilliamSRD]

My first time was at age 14 when one punched me in the throat and my voice changed!

[@JanPospisilArt]

This is a neat video format, good on you for stealing it. ;) Looking forward to more of these.

[@EscapeRealityFilms]

The Sands of Slumber large characters at the beginning look like they were pulled from the Reroll app. I've made plenty of characters in it to recognize the pixel art style that app uses 😂

[@LegalKimchi]

Playing this game with both hands... thats when I lost it. 🤣

[@nikeneon3188]

Guys I don't get it! On which 5th edition of famous tabletop turn based roleplay game was based 1st game? Can somebody explain to me??

[@WilliamSRD]

Vampire the Masquerade 5e, if I had to guess

[@nikeneon3188]

@@WilliamSRD Oh thanks. I was thinking about Call of Cthulhu

[@BasilLecher]

I keep rewatching the “innformation” joke.

[@BobExcalibur]

SoS is STUFFED with silly gags like that one.

[@DarkOmegaMK2]

That joke was well INNtegrated into the plot.

[@JanPospisilArt]

I like how in the Sands game the roar sound was actually someone yelling "ROOOAAAAR". :D

[@lostbutfreesoul]

That Goblin Shop caught my attention too. Could you imagine a whole trade simulator along that theme? Start as a small goblin tinkerer and end up the head of a industrialized factory that ships world wide....

Welcome to the cool side of the pillow!

[@SpecShadow]

At least there's no Dungeon Cleaner series on the list. Mostly known under "Planet Alcatraz" alias. for anyone curious Warlockracy made good video about the first game.

[@alsoviperlicious]

I really really love this channel and I don't even play tabletop games

[@ashwinnmyburgh9364]

Knowing how many crumby games and also hidden gems there are on steam, I always enjoy videos like this.

[@ongoing_chrisis]

"my name... was TREVOR!"

[@hartthorn]

Holy shit. The Sands of Slumber game is straight up using an app called Reroll for making those character profiles.

[@WilliamSRD]

OH MY GOD, YOU'RE RIGHT! I actually made a complaint about why the character sheet images didn't match anything else in the game's style, but it didn't make it into the final cut. This explains so much!

[@williek08472]

I noticed that too!

[@AquaShibby3000]

It looks like the game is basically a retelling of an actual D&D campain the developer is playing, and is even updating the game as they play real life game sessions and continue their story, so maybe those are just their actual character sheets? That's such a cool concept.

[@zintosion]

9:42 Really right in front of my OSHA handbook?!?! *Regulated screeching*

[@axelvoss9653]

watching Oh Dungeon Master just makes me wanna play Delver again

[@rogofos]

"it has dungeons and it has dungeons, therefore it is dnd" just like "strategy" tag "it has strategy therefore it's strategy game" making games like cs:go and rocket league dominate the tag

[@Mockthenerd]

You don't have many subs but your videos are very professional. I've subbed to see my DnD game content.

23:44 first time I laugh at a new Joker joke. Definitely going to try the goblin shop. Thank you.

[@AuntieHauntieGames]

I saw it, William. I saw it.

[@WilliamSRD]

DANG IT I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE BLURRED THOSE 3 FRAMES

[@SecretRole]

Alluris is a neat little game, I think at my first run in that game I ended getting married to a kobold or some kind of cave creature , oh also before I forget, Great video

[@richardhockey8442]

Oh Dungeon Master All your experience disappears when you enter a dungeon - reminds me of elder scrolls oblivion

[@ShinoSarna]

So I looked up the creator of Last Blossom and found his LinkedIn and there might be a good reason why it does not have a sequel yet. ...Vadym Lysytsia is Ukrainian. I imagine the reason there was no followup yet is at least partially because of the war. Plus he has a day job at a gamedev outsourcing company.

[@warehouselead]

That first game felt more like what I wish Baldurs Gate 3 felt like. BG3 is so streamlined and does so much stuff behind the scenes, it doesn't feel like D&D.

[@DarthLego46]

The Sands of Slumber game seems really polished as far as what I am assuming is an RPG maker game. I mostly ignore most RPG maker games, but I think I’ll give that one a chance.

[@NOLNV1]

Collecting faceless torso pictures is an inspired goal for a role playing game

[@Dilettante15]

I swear I've heard the word "diegetically" more times on this channel than in the entire rest of my life.

[@WilliamSRD]

It is not my fault - other people should use it more!

13:29 Are the humans... Megaman sprite edits?

[@SpikeTaunt]

Oh dungeon master actually looks fun if it wasnt so broken, even the pictures as a placeholder objective is kinda fun

[@jeffreywaugh926]

Dude I swear John Mulaney doing the voice for spider ham sounds just like your voice. You can get him to fill in if you ever need to take a vacation

[@kabob0077]

9:45 *SEND IN THE OSHA DEATH SQUADS!*

[@bobbynick5358]

"Oh, Dungeon Master" could been a decent game, if it wasn't broken, and replace naughty pics with wanted posters? treasure maps, spell pages, cursed pages, diary mix pages? So everything? into a book.

[@danthewatcher9681]

I feel they odd to invent a all in one hand controller for some games :) Giggty giggty :D

The jengrish in that first game...

[@DrPluton]

Of these, Alluris seemed the most interesting to me.

[@craigh5236]

Why does every game have to have neon glow effects these days?

[@user-a5Bw9de]

Is that a default RPG Maker MZ battle system I'm watching for the second game? Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with it; it just might not be a D&D battle system that people would expect from a D&D tag.

I try not to say ‘cringe’ too often anymore. That “sands of slumber” rpg maker game _heavily_ tested that desire. Christ that was awful

[@mikem2849]

People like this make me never want to make an indie game. Can't even imagine spending 5 years on a game only to hear some snarky youtuber who's obviously never read any mythology in their life sum up my worldbuilding as "lol this is a guy who ate his mom's feet. bottom text." Even if he did end up saying the game was decent.

[@BobExcalibur]

I know someone who worked on Sands of Slumber and I've played it about as much as Will has. SoL is a mostly comedic game where the world building as well as the character dialogue are intended to be outlandish and invite incredulity from the player. I don't think Will was trying to be particularly mean spirited in highlighting a bizarre detail in the game's religious lore; if anything that can be part of commending it.
