PRESENTING the new series, "JOIN ME" Where we do these "Bigger" types of videos but focus more on slowing it down by making it more personable, genuine, & filming it in a way where it feels like we are taking you on this journey with us! This was such a fun video to film and edit and we hope you enjoy!

How is this from 9h ago when the video has been out for 32 minutes? Not a joke im genuinely asking. Is it from the youtube processing and editing time? Or a scheduled release mechanic?

This video is so nice, Duke, helped a school, multiple gaming stores, and students all at the same time. Talk about killing 3 stirges with one arrow.

Thankyou Duke! It was pretty amazing that I just happened to stop at the school as you were preparing to show the kids what you had bought them and let me peek! I was SHOCKED!!! It was great to meet you! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your entire video! Made me laugh... made me tear up a bit... amazing! Thankyou to Steven and Nancy and all of those who donated for our school! Simple incredible! ❤

[@CreamAle]

my dude, this is the best version of you. charitable OSQ is the best version of OSQ despite how much the other videos have made me laugh. btw if people talk shit about donating gaming equipment rather than something else.. they don't see the value D&D can have for social skills, confidence building, managing skills, basic math, and all sorts of stuff.

[@stevencross8937]

When me and my wife explained to the school board about exactly what the gaming community does for kids they were in shock and awe. Like oh man, we didn't realize just how much actually goes into role playing games in general.

[@CreamAle]

@@stevencross8937 push the ttrpg life on them. hell the theater kids could even use d&d to create a play and work on their skills. the literature club could write the story.. the art kids could draw up character mock ups etc... there's so much that this tool offers, just like they use minecraft to teach programming and logical operations. best of all, it's fun. fun = faster learning and more attention given.

I've been devouring your content whenever it's been recommended by the allmighty KZbin algorithm, but I've never subscribed before. Fixed that now. This whole video made me tear up. Good man. Good job. 👍

Hello Duke! So I've been following your channel for a long time. My little brother graduated from this high school a few years ago. Brian MacDougal is one of my closest friends, he and his wife have helped me through many difficult times of my life and they are just some of the most important people to me. And to see you help these people who have helped me so much is just amazing. I very rarely ever comment on KZbin videos but seeing what you did for these people that I love and for all the other people and kids at this school. It means the world to me and I can never thank you enough. Thank you so much

[@nickcampbell9828]

Just awesome, that's so cool what you did for all of those kids. I also been playing games for a very long time D&D Pathfinder and all the others. Been DMing for longer than I can remember. And I feel the same way if somebody wants to play I will always trying to make a space at my table, good for you man

This is how you truly help people. Actions. This man didn't just just say he was gonna do something. He over performed. Helped the kids and school for years to come. Helped two gaming stores which in turn puts back into the community. This one action has the possibility of having long reaching positive effects. Doesn't matter if he did it out of the goodness of his heart. If it was just cause he could, or for the video that came out of it. What matters is in the end he did it.

[@IceMetalPunk]

So Duke is as awkwardly bad at remembering names as I am! Good to know! 😂 But seriously, this was super wholesome and I love every second of it 💗 I kind of fell off D&D recently, starting with some job stresses and then becoming low priority when I finally got fired... but while I'm job hunting, my friends invited me to a new Spelljammer campaign they're starting, which begins next week, so hopefully I can get back into it! The party had zero healers, so I'm a paladin -- with two living and loving parents! Imagine that, a D&D character with a wholesome family 😁 Never played Spelljammer before, so I'm excited to see how a space paladin of justice (rather than any god) works out... especially when one party member is an intentionally obnoxious goblin 😂

[@trueshadowmancer4247]

This is so awesome. My mother grewup in Valley WA. My grandparent owned a cabin just outside of Valley and I spent many summers there.... sorry, this just made me glow inside seeing this!

10:26 As someone who's part of a group doing Curse of Strade I can say it's a great one, if you ignore the fact that our party is ALL spellcasters Our party consists of: Cleric Warlock (me) Wizard (who almost died session 1 to getting hit in the head by a rock for 1d6 bludgeoning damage) Sorcerer We HAD a Barbarian.......who died on his second session at the vineyard (if you know, you know)

[@ShinKyuubi]

This is real nice what you did for this VERY small town...good lord I'm picturing Sleepy Hollow based on the size of the population.....Also I'll tell you RIGHT now if my school had had an archery course I woulda joined that in a heartbeat..you'd have seen my overweight butt in an athletic pursuit lol. I honestly LOVE archery and dabble in a little of it at home. I'm NOT a big fan of compound bows btw..I honestly prefer more traditional bows and have been thinking of making my own homemade short bow since I live right next to the woods and could easily get the materials. My long time love of archery over firearms (which is now starting to even out a little..long as they are pretty much Old West firearms or stuff from the Frontier days) is why I'm more likely to wield a crossbow or bow in a TTRPG than a firearm UNLESS I can make a cowboy/gunslinger style character who uses revolvers and lever action rifles.
