[@cameronsmith3047]

[@Bogwedgle]

As soon as I heard "As soon as someone walks through the door" alarm bells started going off in my brain. Your GM is like a genie, he'll always give you what you ask for, especially if it's not what you wanted.

[@PrincessFelicie]

I saw the punchline from hundred of miles ahead. A true evil mastermind never enters a room first.

[@taddad2641]

nope they actually do. arrogance and all that.

[@Chichaetomate]

but on this case, he would call them to his throne or something

[@JohnSmith-xf1zu]

If I was DM, I would be so torn between sending the gnome vs sending the master, just out of the sheer brilliance of the plan.

[@PrincessFelicie]

John Smith That's true. Logic dictates that the gnome enters first, but at the same time you gotta reward that imagination effort from the players. It's a tricky subject for sure.

[@Kreiser_VII]

Knowing Jared, it was obvious a gnome would fall

[@jordanhoke9025]

[@edcellwarrior]

These are the same DMs who squash every creative thing their players try to do, then go online and complain they don't know why their players gave up taking the game seriously and resort to murderhoboing

[@DrunkenCoward1]

Wow, you're rapid firing these episodes. To be honest, I love them. Loved them last year too. On Friday I have my first meeting with my group. My character already stands, a rogueish bard, who believes himself to be of noble descent. And I honestly can't wait on what the first adventure holds for the group I'll be a part of. Also, a friend of mine told me about when she played Pathfinder a while ago (which I'll also be playing), where she played a stupid barbarian brute. The DM made a dragon appear, wanting the team to run away. ...she attacked it. And her team left her. Then she had a huge aerial battle with the dragon that, from what I've heard, was above their levels. ...AND SHE KILLED IT.

[@MegaShadowblast]

Second time I see you without hundreds of likes! Getting out of steam, ya drunken wretch?

[@TheXBladeist]

[@alangrat]

Your character already stands? Is that a JoJo reference?

[@joshkorte9020]

I had a one shot where I bought 50 lbs of soap and in the final boss fight I threw every bar of soap at the mud golem and he eventually slipped and I gave him a bath to wash off all of the mud. Turns out my character's sister was possessed and turned into a giant mud golem. (weirdest night ever)

[@ShadyKnight9]

Home Alone would have been a very different movie had Kevin made that kind of trap.

[@tigerwarrior1787]

Sticky Bandits did end up in some PAINFULLY STICKY situations.

[@lockjaw467]

How did they know? How could they tell it was their friendly gnome? Did they put points into their "identify badly burned body with severely melted face" skill? I'm impressed. Most players forget about that skill.

[@ishio3409]

Even if its a burned body with a melted face, the gnome is kinda small and I doubt his body size can be mistaken for that of a human or any other species (maybe a goblin, but I seriously doubt the dungeon boss was a goblin). What I do find weird is that none of them, at any point during the trap, had a chance to realize they are attacking a midget instead of a tall dude. Its not like this entire trap can be instantly executed in less than a second. PS: You could argue its just another gnome, but why would it be? Its more logical to assume that its the same dude you sent to get help...

[@lockjaw467]

Ishio Kenbu My response is they think the leader is a gnome. I thought the leader is/was a gnome myself. Jared never says they were another race. He said they didn't know their 'leader' was doing evil things with the automatons. One would think the leader of gnomes would be a gnome. I still hold (if that were true and the leader was a gnome) that the carcass, engulfed in flames and a melted face, wouldn't even have clothes left to identify the body. But... I mean, we are debating a fantasy realm.

[@taddad2641]

i think the issue is that it was a tiny ass body.... and more so, it ruins jared's attempt because he had to pull a lotta shit outta his ass. becuase ther eis no way they would not immediately notice that its a gnome. two fo the attacks would missed. hell the sword woulda missed entirely as well

[@florentjendrysiak3396]

Yeah but it's D&D, and Jared was the Dungeon Master, so he was telling the story. All the player knew what they had to do, so they just told "I throw the net" or "I pull the wax into his mouth", and didn't think to ask what the person entering the room looked like. And Jared just described their burned victim after their turn. They surprised the gnome (Surprise is the first step of a D&D combat if it's involving stealth), so he could not take action on that turn. Jared could easily hide the fact that their victim was not the Mastermind during the first seconds of the fight. But I agree some of the attacks must have missed.

[@taddad2641]

Florent Jendrysiak that definitely kinda pulls back the veil a bit with the rpg aspect.

Well in D&D and other Pen&Paper-RPGs you get to participate in the story, that's the beautiful thing about them.

[@Plasstyre]

@@Talon3000 0Or you get to ruin them. I used to play 2nd edition, and I ended up ruining a gigantic quest because I decided to be an ass and literally ripped a walking city in half. Don't ask for specifics please, just know, to this day my friends tell me I did the titanic, and I pissed off our DM. Edit: I can give specifics, if people want it. I'm just not going to post them until they're asked for.

[@lastplace3313]

@@Plasstyre i would also like to know

[@Plasstyre]

@@lastplace3313 Alright, gather around for a story, I guess. It began with what could have been a one off adventure (we never found out, you'll know why), where we were on a walk plate/dome city (it wasn't made clear which, it was basically a city with mechanical spider legs over a lake). For some reason, when I was younger, I was OBSESSED with taking over cities and reaping the profits. I was the only one that wanted to do that too. So, we got on this GIANT city of dwarves (keep that fact in mind), and I had the not so bright idea to try and take it over. My idea on how? Set one of the houses on fire, and put out the fire when it rages. We would come out looking like heroes, and be treated as kings right? Wrong. No one else in the party was on board with it, for good reason. I climbed a building late at night around the center of the walking city, and set fire to it. Our mage, my brother, climbed up to try and put it out as I got off. I missed a very crucial detail. These were dwarves. Dwarves with explosives. Dwarves that kept explosions in a sole building, so they didn't accidentally hurt their city. So my brother takes a walloping blast in the center of the city, as ALL of their built up explosives go off. Our dwarf flies off into the lake, and gets swallowed by a fish, I hit the water hard, and our god wish barbarian is the only one unphased because he was on shore. The city cracked down the middle from the blast, and split in half, sinking deep into the lake. And that, my good sirs, is how I accidentally did the titanic.

[@Plasstyre]

Wanted to add, the DM later told us the quest was ON the city, which is why the campaign or one off was ruined.

[@Mellion555]

As soon as I heard the words "the first person to walk through that door." I knew what Jared was planning to do to their elaborate plan. XD Both the plan and the outcome were freaking hilarious!

[@SolarFlairIsBestPony]

Well if you're gunna be a showoff :'D I just meant off the top of my head. You managed to get 2 of my uses though. But really 1 and 5 are the same thing. Third one was Using it to trip people.

[@RAFMnBgaming]

1) Set up as maypole outside goblin encampment, while they are distracted by the festivities steal all their shit. 2) Whittle down one end to be about 4 and a half inches thick, carve a 4 1/2 inch 6 inch deep hole in the other end. Bingo: world's largest wooden condom. 3) Take 2 10 foot poles, wrap the canvas of a tent around them: instant stretcher. 4) Fire a Scorching Ray spell down the centre of the pole and submerge it in water to put out any flames. you now have a didgeridoo. 5) Stop me if you've heard this one before: you walk into town with a cooking pot full of water and a ten foot pole and set up a small campfire, you place the pole in the pot and begin boiling. when people come to ask you what you're doing tell them you're making "10 Foot Pole Soup", and that it's quite delicious. Eventually someone will be adventurous to ask you if they can have some and agree, on the condition they provide an ingredient such as onions, potatoes, carrots, salt or herbs "for seasoning". repeat until you have soup, remove 10 foot pole, serve. 6) Play a Bard. Persuade your GM to allow you to use it as a quaterstaff, Sing "I'll make a man out of you" during every combat to give people Inspiration Die, Get killed for singing "I'll make a man out of you" during every combat. 7) Design Flag, place Flag on the end of pole. Plonk flag in ground and claim that land in the name of your god. if anyone protests remind them that they don't have a flag and you do, "thems the rules". 8) Practice your caber toss skills for when you run into scotsmen, after all it's the one accent literally everybody can do so be prepared for when your GM inevitably falls back on his Sean Connery impression 9) Need to know the time of the day without relying on wind up clocks or magic spells? Set up a sundial, this doesn't work if you're in the underdark but then again there you can just use dangle your leg off the beaten path and your Hitpoints as a countdown timer. 10) Learn to throw 10 ft pole. Take Tablecloth (which is a surface, not an object that can be "closed") and inscribe it with Glyphs of Warding full of damaging spells/explosive runes. Wrap tablecloth around 10 ft pole. Throw into enemy camp. Stand back. (note this only works if you take GoW as written, you probably won't get away with doing this twice.)

[@irreverentseraph7372]

Between this and the Ballista Bat from last year, it sounds like Jared stacks his games with solid players.

ALL the Robbie Rotten references up in here

Hey, that little intro card with the dragon and the music from the DnD arcade games is probably the best thing on KZbin.

Here to celebrate his return.

[@goliathe7654]

That poor gnome oh well

[@Zack-si9qr]

I fucking love D&December. Idk why but it's so good. Keep it up Jared. Please do this every year

[@CaptinHavoc1]

6:02 NOW LOOK AT THIS NET THAT I JUST FOUND

[@RAFMnBgaming]

Throw it at Him not Gnome!

[@killgora1]

oh man that ending man. i haven't laughed so hard since me and a buddy snuck into a bandit camp and pored laxatives, and mind breaking drugs into the camps entire cask of ale. one of the best campaigns I've ever had.

How does one travel with a 10ft poll?

[@theashennamedjerry3203]

Chad Barrett magic

[@pickybusiness8549]

Chad Barrett i imagine its like a extendable pole, rather than an actual 10 ft pole

[@pyroparagon8945]

Chad Barrett I travel with a ten foot pole every day *lenny*

[@hhrrussell]

Im pretty much watching all of this years videos and re-watching last years to prep for my first game. I used Jared's ''make an interesting character" advice to heart and made a tiefling assassin with crippling social anxiety.

[@BenTheHun1]

What is the song at the beginning? I know it's not Back The Future.

[@Lalle524]

BentheHun1 It's from the second DnD arcade game I believe.

[@axas445]

It's Darude Sandstorm

[@RedRuuj]

Thanks for making these. I really wish there was more of this kind of stuff on KZbin.

[@Sabrowsky]

QUESTION. do I need a player's book to actually play the game? I always wanted to play D&D but am too broke to actually buy a book

[@bigshrimpin69420]

Sabrowsky you technically don't need it, but it helps a lot. if you really wanna find it it's available online with a bit of searching

[@kirbysauce]

I mean, you can't play it alone, but you'll definitely need at least a Player's Handbook. Buying all three core books (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual) costs about $80-90.

[@darkjager7010]

Actually you can find it all online, the person who should be worried is your DM, he needs to buy all 3 of them or download/search for em online, but if you get a DM who has all the books, you don't really need to buy the book.

[@trickingzenith]

Sabrowsky I used to play without books because I didn't know they existed and I made it all up and based everything off the rolls, rarely adding modifiers to them, you can but you need imagination to do it.

[@NotWellKnown]

Alternately, find some of the many, many, micro or full RPG's that are free online. Dungeons and Dragons is only one of hundreds you can play, and I honestly find it as one of my least favorite for teaching new players and playing in general. Unfortunately, its one of the only pen and paper RPG's most people have heard of.

[@PostNukeProductions]

Have to be honest, I saw that punchline coming as soon as you said they were going to build a ridiculous trap to spring on the guy. Really fun to listen to anyway, I love hearing about people being inventive like that.

[@thetattooedyoshi]

XD That's what you get for wanting to pull a Scooby Doo in D&D lmfao jk that would've been a great plan if the correct target came through the door and the results must've been priceless

[@ishio3409]

The plan felt legit good up to the point where the net gets weighted down with those sticky goo bags. That would apply some serious penalties for the enemy and could really help a ton in a boss fight. Afterwards however the whole wax/chalk/acid thing was pointlessly gimmicky and they did it just for lols I guess. It'd be much more efficient to just shoot/stab the immobilized target if the group was really tryharding.

[@justinacosta6212]

no, actually, wax/chalk probably would have given debuffs if DM played nice

[@thetattooedyoshi]

Justin Acosta Jared doesn't play nice. We all know this XD

[@riseofsock]

to be fair if it was a wizard, sorc or tink they could no longer cast spells via words and couldnt see to fight back effectivly making whatever person that got caught in that trap useless as a fighter/caster. the oil/ tinderbox was a bit much.
