This video was freaking PERFECT. Concise, incredibly easy to follow. Phenomal organization and visual aids. Man it’s an actual masterpiece. Usually these lore dumps are a slog and legit I didn’t want it to end. When everything wrapped up I could have watched 30 mins more, I was like “wait!! What happens when the worlds merge!!! Tell meeeee!!”
Really good video, there's a few too many sound and visual effects though, the content is really good and well written I think if enjoy it more if it was the forefront, the screenshakes, sound effects and transitions are really prominent
I never knew that SCP-049 played D&D! I really enjoyed listening to this video. I really do hope that you make more of them on other D&D facts, history, items, etc.
Great summary video! Back when dragons a giants fought there were many more chromatic, metallic and gem dragon varities. Yellows, oranges, purples etc. They still exist but stay hidden some say until their numbers swell once again
Wow! That was a well-done, concise, and informative summary of the timeline. Thanks for doing the hard work of distilling the essential, big-picture information. Much appreciated!
This is an awesome video for any new Dungeon Master - in 20 min or so, clear concise, not too deep , you’ll know just enough to go on about tieing in your campaign to actual D&D history / lore; beautifully done ✅ VERY useful in building a foundation for a campaign. Thank you for consolidating this into a short video - it really helps me with my campaign as I’m strapped for time and was in need of a comprehensive history video of the D&D world.
I'm thinking Ed Greenwood should've stretched the time span by billions of years. Considering on Earth, modern humans are 3 or perhaps 400k. And hominids are about 6 to 8 million years old. The last dino was 65 million years ago. Ed is a writer not a scientist. It's what I do in my campaigns. Thanks for your hard work brother.
Age of dawn is the best era you mentioned but before you mentioned their was a time before gods with the Obyrith but in 5e law the oldest as they are not present is the aboleth of the Oerth. These being existed before mortal life or the gods who are basically in short eldritch terrorising being beyond the gods or mortal understanding. I like Dragons & giants but monstrosities as well to aberrations are the best monsters followed by undead or demon as a close 3rd - 4th. What is a dragon or giant compared a Neothelid, Purple Worm, an elder brain, Behir, Beholder, Balhannoth or a Kraken. Most of what I mentioned player have no idea what they are besides the kraken which they still have trouble with. The most terrifying monsters are the ones that the party knows nothing about! Well done video but the blue age/cleansing war is not the beginning for beings lurked in the void long before as the further you venture from the material planes you eventually enter the outer planes & outside that is the void.
"D&D lore" is such a weird concept, because there can't really be any. Sure, there are specific worlds with canon storylines, events and characters, but that only matters if you play in those specific settings. There are many different officially published settings, and thousands upon thousands of unofficial ones.
Incredible you managed to fit all of this in 20 minutes. I know other videos that go in depth and they are hours long. Really great to get an overview, currently I'm watching some other series that start from the beginning but end at the age of humans, was wondering if there was anything significant between that and the times of trouble (where I know the lore from then on) but sounds like not really.
Another channel makes an in depth look at each age. Jordphan , check it out. I really like this one though because it’s a comprehensive crash course that plunges a new DM into just enough knowledge to tie a campaign into some legit D&D lore in a concise 20 minute video. Very well done.
wft is up with the camera bobbing, i got sea sick from watching 1,5 minutes of this. hard pass! others do this without carnival masks and shacking frames. just sayin
i tried to watch this video..really did. but the constant shaking of the text...of the graphics.. it was all jarring .. had to stop it 1 minute into the video.
