[@ReturnToMonke66]

fun fact in his videos there are a lot of references to his other characters in the series. such as in the warlock video you can see his bard and paladin getting married.

[@SoulWhiteAngel]

One thing i love about this series is the small story in it all. Like the bard flirting with the paladin constantly. You should check out the barbarian remake btw

[@Jrocks26]

Oh, will do, thanks!

[@3ndlessL00p]

One of my favorite little details in this series are the minis of all the characters that appear one by one on the table during the intro.

[@Jrocks26]

Yes! Those are great!

[@Priotech]

The one for the DM is long but a must watch as it has a full story in it

[@Jrocks26]

Awesome, we will have to check it out!

[@KOkami03]

To note, JoCat also made an updated Barbarian video, as well as a guide to races, goblins, alignment, character sheets, and DMing.

[@justincrowley8787]

When I was DMing for my nieces and nephews I made JoCats videos required reading. Did wonders to get them able to jump right into what their characters could do.

[@Jrocks26]

Great idea actually!

[@Babbleplay]

The catchy Fighter Man theme you liked. Very much fun, and is a rewording of the 70s animated Spider-Man theme. It's the series almost every Spider-Man meme you see is from.

[@ChipmunkiousD]

My first D&D character was actually an artificer who got so lucky while he was digging through a pile of scrap metal he was planning to use for invention parts that he managed to find a frozen pseudodragon underneath it all, warmed it up, gave it food, and it decided to never leave his side

[@Jrocks26]

That sounds fun!

[@ChipmunkiousD]

@@Jrocks26 It was! I miss that campaign, it was my favorite

[@HazySkies]

Great to finally see more discovering the awesomeness of JoCat's D&D content. I will say though, talking over him (specifically at length) when he's speaking and not going back a little is somewhat of a bother, as you may miss good jokes, context and other info. With how fast paced and punchy JoCat's delivery is, it's clearly at an even higher at risk of this, haha. Don't be afraid to pause to discuss, and/or keep that left arrow handy. Really enjoyed this reaction for all over parts ^-^

[@Jax_Destro]

I just want to say that this was a great... ELDRITCH BLAST!

I hope JoCat is doing ok. It's tragic what happened to him, cancel culture is a b!tch. I've seen his "controversial" video and it's honestly nothing to get worked up over.

[@Jrocks26]

Yes, this is really messed up! 😣

I don’t know if you guys are familiar with the Monster Hunter series, but JoCat also did a set of Crap Guide videos on all of the weapons of Monster Hunter World.

[@Jrocks26]

The Monster Hunter series is one of the few that we havent played any of, we keep saying we have to try it out

[@Scorpious187]

The monkey at 29:10 is Sips, Dingo Doodles' character in her boyfriend's "Fool's Gold" campaign. If you haven't watched that series, it's absolutely awesome.

[@somniferousSirenSocial]

We stand with JoCat

[@theofficerfactory2625]

Bard and Paladin had a hidden thing going on during these videos. It's quite cute to see happen when you watch through and look in the background as to what's going on.

[@gamerk316]

Fun fact: Back when D&D was still based off Chainmail, the class that became known as "Fighter" was known as "Fighting Man", hence the theme song.

[@Jrocks26]

Interesting!

[@Edos512]

"ranger is my favorite" ouuuuuh xD

[@ryanmoye6951]

bout 6 min in i wonder if they notice that each episode JoCat add the class to the table

[@lanteanboy]

for Artificer, it started as an Eberron class but has "recently" been added to non-Eberron via Tasha's Guide(at least, I think it was Tasha's) and they also added the Armorer which if Jocat had known about back then would have likely said something along the lines of: "It's just Iron Man" But Artificer is a bit of a bitch to play since unlike every other class, you need an additional book regardless

[@gatinhu_br]

you need 20billion iq to play artificer xD

[@Bluecatte]

honestly it's good that Ranger has gotten reworks, it was badly needed. Jocat is a God.

[@Bluecatte]

HOLY SHIT THIS AGED LIKE MILK THE 2024 RANGER AND PALADIN CHANGES ARE ASS!!!!

[@PandaUnfortunate]

7:15 fun fact: the cleric video was actually a 2nd take Jo did since he got a lot of feedback on the 1st attempt. In that one he was less aware of how nonsense busted 5e clerics can be and had slightly pigeonholed the class into a more stereotypical support role. Some of the bits from the 1st did make it into the rework and you can spot them by looking at the cleric's armor (if they don't have the big shoulder armor it's from the 1st)

[@cheezyb92]

[@isorstho7378]

14:12. Monk is my favorite class however I almost never play as one. The reason being that in my dnd group there is that one guy who ONLY plays monks (as in he is not interested in any other class at all) while I can play other classes. And no, no one stops me from picking monk together with him… other than myself. Idk why but I just have this weird obsession with trying to make our party as diverse as possible. That’s why I almost never take the monk because I know with 99% certainty my friend is gonna be one (we usually hide our characters until the day we start the campaign just to see what goofy setups we will accidentally create). But it’s fine, there are tons of fun classes and subclasses to choose from so I never really feel restricted.

[@Jrocks26]

@@isorstho7378 Interesting, hopefully you get to play your monk one day!

[@Hollowboi_2003]

You should def play a Monk next time. I'm the same way with trying to make a diverse party, but there are so many flavors of Monk you could fill most roles in a party. If the other Monk guy is cool you can even tie your backstories together. Maybe you come from the same monetary or maybe you're punching and kicking siblings (like Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee).

[@princess_shymiera]

My mom had a wood elf ranger when she played DND back in high school. It was a name she came up with (the name I have now) because of her fascination with Greek mythology. Then I came into the world, and the rest is history. So basically, I'm named after a D&D character LOL
