Player Options in The Wild Beyond the Witchlight | D&D

[@theescottiep]

I am really enjoying this little tidbits of the upcoming books. Since it's like little bits of lore you should know segments from Dragon Talk. Even after the book releases I would still listen to Chris, Ari, and the other designers talk about any D&D topic and be enthralled.

[@LightOfHands]

1:25 Chris's side-glance of uncertainty after this statement is so good xD

[@youtubeseagull]

they'll still kill them. Especially young new players who know you're supposed to destroy the bad guy like its a scary bug.

[@HeirophantCarneus]

Everything about this book seems just so incredibly good

[@youtubeseagull]

lol. 3:28 "a retired performer " shows guy in full clown costume. that's his retirement clothes? LOL

[@dashua1735]

Maybe it's some form of tradition among clowns to wear clown-related things after they retire

[@youtubeuniversity3638]

Or maybe he "was retired" as a euphamism. Or maybe that's not a costume and he just looks like that.

[@RichardHaywardMelbourne]

This is a great immersive video, Chris Perkins delivers once again, and can't wait to play my first WBW game.

[@tanorkalomyr8221]

I truly Hope to the bottom of my heart and soul that they do a book with Celestial race options, I’ve always wanted to play as an Angel.

[@jacobm1011]

Isn’t that mostly what Aasimar are?

[@tanorkalomyr8221]

@@jacobm1011 I mean full-on angel, not half of one. if they're allowing full-on fairies as a race then they should at least give us celestials. at least in my opinion. Celestials are my favorite creature type. edit: I really do hope that they give us that, but if they cant then I guess ill be fine, I don't want to harass anyone and I don't want anyone else to either. its wrong.

[@veemie8148]

Would be cool. I can understand how it would be tricky to work in characters who are natives to the outer planes though from a game mechanics standpoint. From what I remember, if you kill a celestial, demon, or devils form away from their home plane, then they don't truly die but return back at home. In most campaigns you would be handing those player characters functional immortality and the potential to split from the paty at first level.

[@tanorkalomyr8221]

@@veemie8148 well… how I would do it it would be a great safety net for death by bad dice rolls. Should an Angel PC die in any way, they instead are sent back to their native rendered alive but powerless for a certain amount of time while they recover.

[@hannayapelekai1628]

@@veemie8148 the thing about outsiders is unless they're high level spellcasters (which most of them aren't), it's VERY hard for them to get into the Prime Material. That's largely why D&D worlds aren't completely overrun by demons and elementals and whatnot

[@snorrigygax5604]

Sounds like the violence alternatives make this adventure particularly suitable to run it for kids. That'd be awesome, a must.

[@CitanulsPumpkin]

Let's see... Harengon - Viera Lizardfolk - Bangga Orcs or half orcs - Seeq Fairy - Moogles Goliaths - Galka/Rohgardeyn Tabaxi - Mithra/Miqote Gnomes, halflings, or goblins - Tarutaru/Lalafell Elves - Elvaan/Elzen Yeah, we now have all the player races needed in 5e to reskin for all the nonhuman races from final fantasy 12/tactics advanced and the two final fantasy mmo's.

[@cirelancaster]

I've always said there's three parts to DnD; Challenges, Conversations, and Combat. Too many DM's only believe in Combat

[@lucashayes346]

ONLY THING I could wish for besides these would be new subclasses based around Fey magic or something of the sort, but thats just me. I know how it can be really hard to integrate that sort of thing into the game, and maybe they’ll add fey magic spells to each spell table or something, but I love me some subclasses. Other than that, Im SO excited for this!!!

[@OhThatRobin]

I’m so excited to run this for my friends and family :D

[@mjsgrass78]

Iv always wanted to be Usagi Yojimbo !

Would Yojimbo be a Fighter Samurai or a Monk Kensei?

Your voice is very soothing, I’m peetty sure if I listening to your video to sleep, you could solve some insomnia among this world.

[@youtubeseagull]

NICE ART and awe it sounds lovely. i'd love to lead a group of young players through this. nice

[@agathaharknessidewit5257]

As a DM. My players always look for no- solutions and it's often works. I love that they don't judge monsters and animals just by they appearance.

[@angie.castle]

I'm a forever DM, and just once, I want to be a player for this TwT it looks so goooood! I love more creative, not all combat, gameplay since I'm a huge role player. And who doesn't love a good carnival story

[@lorddreemurr]

Very cool Chris. Thanks for the info!

[@GregorifElfeNoir]

I wasnt interested in this book, feywild just isnt my thing. But non-combat rules for encounters, that is actually interesting to me :)

[@jgr7487]

for how long have you been playing D&D?

[@TheGIJew.]

honestly you could just put chapter 1- the carnival chapter- into any campaign, and have a fun carnival session. If you don't want to send them into the feywild they could just have a fun time at the carnival and then leave.

[@autumnmarilyn5216]

I got the alternate cover and I adore it

[@DungeonMistressC]

Oooo, druid fairy who is a selkie could be fun

[@sorambit]

Application rabbit legs with jump spell. Then hope for a really soft landing.

[@Awakeandalive1]

Did you design this explicitly & specifically for my wife? XD

[@LimKimOn0000]

Need some updates for divine ranks,for example: 0:A quasideity. 0-5+:A demigod. 5+-10+:A lesser god. 10+-15+:An intermediate god. 15+-20+:A greater god. 20+-25+:An overdeity! 21+-30+:An overoverdeity!

[@jimmydelcourt5419]

Hi I been lucky to play DND a couple of times. Hope to play again. Looking to join a party from Gatineau Quebec Canada. If anyone wants to start a quest

[@gnukko]

aww no feywild hobgolins? I loved the ones in the UA

[@Subcomandante73]

Such a shame we cannot get a fey source book rather than an adventure. Not impressed by any of the published adventures so far, have all needed a lot of effort to fix the problems and cannot be run out of the book, so refuse to buy any more of them.

[@DMachoMickey]

Can I trade my fairy wings for the halfling Lucky trait and play a Leprechaun? I even have a mini to use!

[@dragonsflame474]

I see Perkins. I click. I am a simple DM/PC.

[@Nackeroo]

I love it

[@leodouskyron5671]

Chris you said Rabbit folk are charming but the very rabbit on screen has a hot Branding iron (?) as a weapon? How … charming? I get the idea that these rabbits are more the “sharp pointy fangs” kind and not so much the Samurai or top hat “I am late” kind.

[@hannayapelekai1628]

think easter bunny from Rise of the Guardians

[@youtubeuniversity3638]

Did Toby Fox help to write this?

[@Drakijy]

My word. Chris' teeth are whiter than his hoodie.

I was going to comment that this man’s teeth are really impressive. I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking about it.

[@blairbird8022]

Hey listen!

[@jgr7487]

plat a whole game without resorting to violence? do you mean the Houserule that's older than non-TSR D&D that states that "if you beat an encounter using your wits, you can the equivalent Xp of that encounter, so fighting a bridge Troll or negotiating with it ammounts to the same level of success"?

[@markj3169]

So these are more DM options and less player options

[@PumpkinJack88]

Lol. Hippity hops.

[@michellejean11]

Just play the sims and call that an adventure. D&D was Heroic fantasy, this is just blah!

"They're appealing because they're small, not tiny" THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH FAIRY! they're meant to be tiny, people want Tiny, have you never looked at homebrew races? there are so many Tiny races or Small races that are to be treated like tiny. Fairy is a well known race both in other systems and in curture, they are expected to be Tiny, people want the race to meet the names expectation. Like don't suddenly decide to make Elves 2 feet tall and Dwarves 8 feet tall, keep things how they're meant to be. Mate I have no idea who you are but I can tell one thing, you have not played much D&D and if you have I feel sorry that you haven't been experiencing the whole world of D&D that lives outside the books. Dungeons and Dragons a fantasy roleplaying game, sometimes you have to accept that and allow people to play Tiny or demi-Tiny races, just like Golaith is demi-large, let people have fantasy and roleplay in their games.

"I have no idea who you are but I can tell one thing, you have not played much D&D" - he says to literally the Senior Story Designer of D&D and lead author of multiple 5e published adventures, who has been designing and writing about D&D in official channels since 1988. I think you won the internet today dude. Well played.

[@kitkup8570]

@@satiricalbard1 And yet you haven't proven that they've played a single game of D&D None of that has anything todo with roleplay and playing fun and intresting characters, that's more about rules and stuff So what you've pretty much done is confirmed that his no fun to play with as his a rules lawyer, but that's just what you said

[@kitkup8570]

@@satiricalbard1 I've got a question for you, is he the guy that thought it was a good idea to make level 2 PCs fight an adult dragon? Because if he is that would also show that his a terrible DM as he doesn't understand how to balance encouters, or atleast he was as that is rather old adventure

[@mikem4432]

No combat? No gory dismemberment and bloody end to your enemies.. sounds like the office.. no thanks.. I play to do heroic fights.. not be like.. in the office..

[@godofzombi]

You have the option of doing things non violently. You can still go into the first encounter and start swinging. Personally I was thinking about running the adventure twice. One non combat (for as long as possible) and one full on murder hobo campaign.
