Welcome to WASD20, a hub for tabletop role-playing games and fantasy maps. Whether you're looking for tips on how to play D&D, how to be a good Dungeon Master, or how to draw a fantasy map, I've got you covered!
My biggest issue is that I can’t find anyone local. I’m autistic and my parents absolutely refuse to allow me to make friends. I’m practically desperate to find anyone period at this point. My social anxiety and social paranoia is driving me to my grave and I’m reeeeeally looking to fix this soon
Thank you so much for creating this channel and providing engaging, quality advice and all-around fun videos to watch. Your videos have bolstered my decision not to give up on RPGs in general purely because a lot of people tend not to have the attention span to commit to a game to play with friends. Thank you so much! 💜
About the timeline issue of Vecna being a playable antagonist two years after the scene, I think Eddie home brewed it. That’s why the players are so surprised “Vecna is dead! He was killed by Kas!” Which, at that point, was the canon truth.
Does a player have to declare their reaction before the enemy attacks? I''m struggling to understand how a player can decide how to react once the enemy has attacked, for example... the monster hits you and your "reaction" is to cast a shield spell... effectively negating the attack in the fist place. But if the attack missed then the player doesn't cast the spell. Another example that occured recently in game when a monster hit one of our party members he told the DM that he would use his reaction to attack the monster.... and then get his turn..!!?? What the hell is that? I don't get it.
Hi, Professor WASD, from 2024, I’m a new player, currently learning the rules. I’m in a group where no one has played before and I am supposed to be the GM. (Please overlook this catastrophic situation) I have a question regarding the different methods of determining a character’s ability scores. It says that for the random method, you use random dice six time. For standard array you have a sum total of 72 score points. And finally with customized ability scores. Isn’t there one method that is objectively best?
Like, standard array and customized have fixed and controlled outcomes. What’s the argument for random dice? That you may potentially get a stat sum that is above the fixed and controlled outcomes? Seems like a gambling addiction enabler. Especially with how the odds of coming out with a below average character is just as prevalent.
there is no best method for all. The standard array is best for those who like to play it safe and want all characters to be fairly equal in power level. But … Rolling is fun! Yes perhaps for those who like to gamble. :) Some of us enjoy the excitement of chance, and it can produce some interesting results .
@@WASD20totally get that. It’s just that i’m coming from the background of eldest bro, ex-competitive pokemon breeder/trainer, fighting game lab monster, custom model kit painting type of stuff. So i like my numbers and accuracy. which, again, i realize is quite the absurd circumstance for someone coming into D&D fresh and new with no surrounding community.
It's possible to have a sort of Lonely Mountain as long as it's surrounded by lesser foothills, with the main distinguishing factor being it's height. Capulin, in New Mexico, is a great example. It _seems_ lonely, but the land does rise around it. It just happens to be the tallest thing around for quite a distance.
Owlbear is so much better than roll20 just saying... Im a new dm online not to ttgrpg and its so much more user friendly. And i hook up my phone to the flat screen tv as the player screen and open up the dm screen on my laptops and have the screen laying on the table and stillnuse My minis with my kids.
I'm just learning D&D and jumping right into the DM role. My son created a dragonborn paladin, and i was hoping you would show how to level it to lv3. Do you have a video on that? The spells and spell slots are a bit overwhelming for newbies. THANKS NATE!
I've made two characters when I started playing Dungeons and Dragons. The first character is my main character, and the second is my backup character in case I'm ever killed. 1. Callon Nobleoak, race half elf, class ranger. 2.Thrain Stronghammer, race mountain dwarf, class fighter. I just began making a third character. It's going to be an elf who becomes a sorcerer, and his name is going to be Eragon like the hero in the inheritance cycle series that I finished reading months ago. I'm still trying to figure out what's a good last name for him, and I'm working on his background story at this time.
just went to my first campaign and I went in blind, my friends were SUPER helpful! I felt bad because I'd stopped and ask questions and they said it was biggie that I'd ask questions and were actually happy I did. Im watching any videos to be prepared for our next meet up 😂
I’m going as in-depth for my fantasy world/novel as possible. I’d love to publish one day but I find everything about world building fascinating. This video is really helpful thank you!
For anyone doing digital art and want to set up an isometric grid guideline, the isometric angle is 30 degrees. By default it was set to 25 degrees for me.
I just got into D&D after wanting to for years and just found your channel and i made a couple weeks ago a form like you are using there before of the one you are using but mine i have the chart from PHB for height and weight for the age if the race lives for 100 or less i use a d100 if the number is over 50 i divide by 2 unless you want an older character and so on for the one who lives more than 100 i just roll the d100 that many times 700 = 7 rolls
Mantic Games, and Coveted Forge are my two favorite sites to buy from, quality minis for cheap, they're more for wargaming but their used as cheaper alternatives to games workshop's stuff for age of sigmar.
