I was obsessed with d&d when I was a kid but never never find anyone to play with so it was a game I played in my head mostly. I'm 47 now and my son found d&d and a game store that host games for magic the gathering and d&d as well that plays every other weekend. I love it that I get to play with my son in a huge campaign of 12! I drive 150 miles every other weekend to take him and we play for 4 hours or more as we chow down on burgers and hotdogs,chips, candy and deserts. My son helps me out with most of the details and he is very knowledgeable about d&d. It is the most bonding experience I have with my son since I haven't seen my son till he is 14 years old. I didn't know about him till he was 4 and then I lived in California and he lives in Florida. I recently moved to Florida to take care of my dad and started up a relationship with my son. Everything is going well and I have d&d to thank for helping me bond with my son.

@kanashi333 2 года назад

@@jareddmunoz its cool that you mentioned family as someone you can start out playing with, I actually play dnd with my brother! He sucks at story line though, so I was forced to become the dm. I've only ever played dnd twice, but I was only ever a player, so I decided I'd watch videos like these to try and get a feel for things dm's would say. I've already come up with an entire story, a bunch of dot points for key events and I've written lore for backstories e.g. unfortunately my brother is the only other person to play dnd in my family, so rather than having a one person party and watching him struggle to defeat easy enemies I made 3 npc's that will be joining him and becoming a 4 person party. One thing I've noticed in this video, is that he uses a grid map to set everything out. So I might work on a few maps for the place my story is set in and for a few missions that he'll go on :)

Welcome back to the hobby. :)

@willothewisps.7539 2 года назад

D&D is the whole reason I started writing as a hobby. I role played through text, went to live action, was told of D&D, am terrible with social situations and therefor never found a party - and so, I turned to making campaigns in my head, which morphed into me just essentially writing my own stories. Even if I never get to actually play, it’s opened up something I find great joy in. That can’t be ruined by Nat 1’s. 🤣

@anokrs 2 года назад

Great news! You are actually playing, even if you are soloing it. There's a BUNCH of content about solo roleplaying. Check out "Me, Myself and Die!" with Trevor Devall and get ready to be blown away.

@mygodsnameiskyle 8 лет назад

One of the best videos I found on this. I have no IRL friends who play but this online group invited me to play and I was like "I want to do that, but I don't know how" and so many of the videos go into explanations that are way too complex. GJ

@WASD20 8 лет назад

Thanks. Enjoy the game!

@alexisx4368 4 года назад

waitt, i'm totally new to all of this so excuse me 😅 but how do you play this game online?

@alexpaul9678 3 года назад

Thanks for this series! I’ve been following you for a couple months for your great map content, but I just recently volunteered to DM for my friends. I have very little firsthand experience with the game so while I already have a setting, story, NPCs and know vaguely what my players want to play, I’m not as familiar with the mechanics of the game, so this series is really going to help! Thanks!

@kavanetaent 4 года назад

Thanks for the introduction! Literally the first D&D video I’ve watched. Purchased a starter set tonight and I’m excited to start playing!

@dunchayton86 4 года назад

Great video! I just bought a D&D starter pack for my son, I read the instructions which were intense but this video really helped me understand and visualise all the skill checks! Thankyou

This was the first dnd video i watched when i wanted to learn how to play. But i never had anyone to play with but today i had my first session. It was so much fun!

@evilengine9 4 года назад

@kelsoistired 10 месяцев назад

This is so helpful, im dming for my group of friends and none of us have ever played before. Ive been doing so much reading but its so much better to actually see a short example of how its supposed to play out and how things are used

At 43, and being "around" D&D on and off but never really playing, I'm totally going in and getting my family started for the first time! I'll be a new DM, with kids 17/14/8 (and my wife as well hopefully) and so excited to start ... as is the family (used your character creation vid to guide us in that process already) ... your videos have been really helpful refreshing my memory, catching me up, teaching me, and simply making me excited to start!

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that your tutorial is absolutely amazing - it's short and straight to the point, but also talks about crucial parts of how DnD works that other videos gloss over or straight-up ignore. I've used it as an introductory for new players who want to get into DnD and so far it has worked incredibly well.

@WASD20 Год назад

Thanks so much. :)

@shadowops62 2 года назад

@dylangreene86 3 года назад

At 34 and just now getting into DnD thanks to Critical Role and TAZ, I have to say your videos really break the basics down in a very simple yet effective way. Much appreciated brother...keep it up!

@WallBreakerOfficial 8 лет назад

Great vid for beginners, or those like myself who have been out of the game for sometime. My kids recently picked up the starter box and have been looking to play. Hopefully your vids will help them, and myself in a fluid experience.

@_emory Год назад

This is perfect. DND is one thing that benefits immensely from hands on learning experience, and this is as close as you can get without a few friends and a table

@minnevolved Год назад

I found this video and it’s sequel back in 2018, just after I was invited to my first game. I was honestly really intimidated at first, but these videos helped me get a better understanding of the basics, so that helped me feel a little less stressed out. I still struggled a little during that first game, and I was extremely nervous, but I ended up having a lot of fun in the end. I’ve been playing ever since, eagerly awaiting my weekly dnd fix :)

@olliebirdy6120 7 лет назад

i've been watching your videos i thought i could not make map, i tried hard with no avail, later i stumbled on your tutorials! as it turns out i'm good at map making, i've just started getting into d&d i got a couple figures. i have a starters book set, but found it's way into storage, I watched all the parts to your how to play d&d thanks so much for being here!!!!!!!!!!!!!😄

This is crazy helpful! So glad I cam across this video. I've been wanting to play for years! I played a one-shot campaign years ago but never found another group after that. Here we are, just got invited to a campaign yesterday, it is going to be my first campaign and your videos are making it very easy to understand. I can't wait to play and watch the rest of the series. Thank you Nate!

@AndysEastCoastAdventures 9 лет назад

Back in the 80's when I started playing this we had a school club for wargaming and it was a popular past time. I think advanced videogames has killed it though. If you can give it a go, it is fun and a great way to spend time with friends and getting off that videogame screen.

If you are looking for the paper I used for the map, Amazon sells it (amzn.to/1VePWyK) or check your local game shop. It's called Gaming Paper.

@miga1018 8 лет назад

+WASD20 how do you decide if the roll is high enough do you just kinda make the decision as a dm or do you look at the base stats im pretty confused. like how you needed a ten to throw off the net but your strengh was 14 +2 how do you decide? if the dm just says so what are the base stats used for?

@CaptainDCap 8 лет назад

+MIGAIR b (MIGA101) some traps have predetermined stats to hit in order to break free or dodge them entirely. If not, the DM will secretely set a value for the trap in his head, or on paper. If you're the one setting the trap, he could let you know what its stats are.

@miga1018 8 лет назад

Captain D Cap k i think i get it now

@WASD20 8 лет назад

Yep, and in part 2 around the 1:45 mark you can see a handy guide the book provides for setting a DC (that's the target roll a player needs). Basically the DM bases the number on how difficult something should be in his/her mind.
