How to Play D&D part 2 - The Sample Session Continues!

The only hard part about playing this game is magic. But once you get magic it really isn't that hard.

Love that. "Who are you!?" (throws javelin).

Throw Javelin, Ask questions later!

[@morningstar577]

I was playing a one shot campaign last month. I was in a sewer because there was an awful stench plaguing the village. There were some goblins chillin and I asked them "Do you know where the smell is coming from?" The goblin leader answered "I'm not telling you!" I was within range to throw my javelin and I rolled a 19... I was like "oh really?" **throws javelin, instant death** 😂😂😂

[@facetiousfemme]

You did very well explaining the game play. Normally people get "way too in to it" which can leave new players clueless. Thanking for posting.

A DnD experience with my friend: Me: I want to inspect the object. DM: Its a stone coffin with crimson red runes carved onto it, you can hear the faint breathing from the inside. Something is in it. Friend: I will smash the Coffin open with my Warhammer. Me: NO DM: You need a strength of 5 to smash it open, and 15 on the skill check.

[@nyanbrox5418]

Im not mad, i love the video. One lil nit pick here... THERE IS NO SUPPRISE ROUND!!! It is a supprise CONDITION, if someone is incapacitated, there is no incapacitated round, the supprised enemy takes his first turn shaking off the supprised CONDITION, at the end of his turn, he is not supprised and CAN take reactions, avoid certain theif skills, and take legendary actions. You have no idea how many players are influenced by this... Aside from that great video, (ix start at lvl 1 however i see how this could be a problem once n00bs get to lvl 2), so this is a really good and helpfull series! Oh and its roll twice not double roll on crit :3

Thank you for making it so clear and easy to follow. Seeing both sides explained at once has really helped me. I’ve really been enjoying your videos!

[@dragonchr15]

I can totally see a player trying to argue with a DM about what can and cannot reasonably be done in 6 seconds, which is the time each round takes.

[@carold.8782]

Thank you for both the "How to Play" videos. Our family has recently started playing Pathfinder, with ranges of age from 62 to 8 - three generations! Although we've played a few sessions and have enjoyed them, I'm going to recommend the three grandchildren watch these videos for their directness and simplicity. I suspect it will help the young ones particularly to understand what we are talking about as we play.

[@Yabuturtle]

Instructional videos should be like this. Love the books but they can be convoluted sometimes. This video makes it easier. Not only with visuals, but filters out the crap and leaves you with the important stuff and explains it more easily.

[@tamijackson-lincoln7550]

Very helpful. I played 30 + years ago and am looking forward to being the DM for the first time. It's the only game I could think of that could be played with friends using a video chat platform. I am the only one who has ever played of the 4 of us and this was a great refresher. I can't wait for our first game.

[@DerrylTheHero]

Nate! Good to see the videos are coming out and with nice editing too :D just one thing though. Critical Hits in 5th edition are handled by rolling extra dice for the attacks damage. In this case, it would be 2d6+2 opposed to 1d6×2 +2

[@WASD20]

Oh man. Thanks for pointing that out, Derryl Castle. I swear, I am incapable of making a D&D video without messing up at least one rule :D Thanks for watching!

This is the kind of video I have been waiting for. I've been watching a KZbin group play (Heros of Awesome) for about 2 months now and they actually got me hooked on the idea of D&D. So much so that I went out and bought the 5e starter set. I even convinced my wife and kids to give it a try! But I've been trying to find a video showing exactly how the rolls and mechanics work. So far this series is hands down the best explanation video I've seen. Thanks for putting it together! Still to new to make a request on what to see next lol, but I hope your working on more for this series!

[@johnbaumgartner]

Great videos - really illuminating for this noob. Q: when do experience points get doled out? For instance, after this battle with the orc, would those points be awarded? Or when? Thanks!

[@WASD20]

Usually at the end of each session the DM calculates the XP and informs the players. The DM will tell players with enough XP to level up prior to next session. Sometimes I've leveled up mid-session, but it can also kind of break momentum for some groups.

[@johnbaumgartner]

Thanks you - good stuff.

[@Keya3596]

Thank you! A lot of your videos have been helping me out. Long story short, I’ve wanted to play but as the DM for a while, and I’ve had a few one on one sessions with dm friends but I was never part of a game and they had a habit of just telling me “do this,” “roll this,” “ok, that means this,” and didn’t really explain it to me. But a week ago, my younger brother and his friends came to me saying they ditched their old DM (for purposefully using topics that made them uncomfortable repeatedly) asking me to DM them instead. Funny part is I’ve wanted to DM for so long I already had a world built with a map and backstories and hidden plots for players to stumble into, they were impressed that I’ve never actually DMed or truly played before. First session is 3 days from now, I hope it goes ok.

This video in particular is REALLY helping me. Just for funzies, i simulated a battle against a skeleton for myself using a character i had just rolled…. Bad luck, i lost lol But at least im starting to understand battling! Anybody else having trouble, i suggest you roll a character on D&Dbeyond, pull up a weak enemy stat block, and try to follow along to this video. I rolled initiative, On my turn i used the club i had equipped for my proficiency, and added that bonus to the rolled damage the weapon deals on hit when rolled successfully prior…. Repeated rolls until either i or the skeleton fell unconscious. Roll Hit, roll for damage + mod. I’ve got the basics down now i think. Now i have to learn more about movement options and how those come into play when more than one creature is on the battlefield.

OMG THANK YOU FOR REPLYING!!! The game went well and we used the Underdark series, We kind of broke the game?

Awesome, this is exactly what I have been looking for. Seriously a bunch of people have great channels with a ton of cool info. But till now I haven't seen any cover the simple aspect of how the dice work in combat.

Hehe the hushed "ew" In the background when you describe how you killed the orc. 😂. I love it. Thank you for making these videos, they are really helpful!
