We Donated $5,000 to a Small Gaming Club! 

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!

So I actually founded this club with some friends and graduated in 2020 I love to see the love! Will definitely be visiting the school over winter to see the changes!

I’m a family member of one of the administrators at the school, and she actually asked me if I’d ever heard of you before cause I play dnd. She couldn’t stop saying how grateful everyone was and how amazing you were!

So much respect for what you at doing to support gaming clubs in schools

I'm not crying, you're crying!! In all seriousness though this was awesome to watch. I think you've definitely changed those kids lives for the better Duke.

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.

I believe Duke finally embraced his inner megamind supervillain doing great good whilst sounding absolutely diabolical.

Noble peace present, humanitarian award, 30% off at radio shack, whatever prize there is, he needs it. This is really giving back to the gaming community. I hope he wins the lottery so he can do this all the time.

This is what makes the community good we come from all walks of life just to sit down for a session. Nice work

Yo! This entire video is amazing and you have done something that I’m sure this school will remember forever! Also, I recognize the name Cami Cat, and I’m so happy she helped as well (she’s an amazing musician and artist).

This channel has been very nostalgic. Me and my friends would watch it during dinner break at dnd.

True Chaotic Good energy. "A couple of books would be cool" Duke: "All I got is an entire game store. Take it or take it"

First one who’s not osq, I’ve seen your channel grow for so long, I love what you’re doing with it. You’re the reason I actually started playing D&D. Keep making great content, we love you.

1st off: This is so wholesome! The fact you decided to do this is one of the many reason I enjoy watching ur content. 2nd: I need it

This was an absolutely amazing thing to do. Those kids will never forget this act of kindness and neither will your fans Thank you for spreading everything you can with everyone. You are an amazing person

The logo for that first game store is rad Edit: I did not expect to cry to this video, but here we are

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! ❤

This is so awesome! I just passed through this area and it’s such a wonderful area! I’m so happy for these students!

It’s so wholesome how you just help people who shout out to you and interact with your fans. You were the one that got me interested in Dungeons and Dragons so thank you Duke for making this amazing content.

Thank you Nancy and Steven!

For anyone who might be wondering how much of this is an act, I can personally guarantee (from having worked several times with Duke while in college) that this is just how he is as a person. I have nothing but respect for him

Oh god, i'm basically a cleric main and i relate to the boy relating to the cleric SOO hard

Great job Duke! I was holding back tears!

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

I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!! I've been a fan since 2020 (what a year) and the fact that you did this is incredible! And talk about benefiting a school in need! Wow! The joy on those kids' faces was priceless! ❤ This channel seriously needs more love! THAT OUTRO!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

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

"They're all mobile homes!" Welcome to small towns in Washington haha. Even some not so small towns have those buildings on school grounds...

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 RU-vid 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

That's SO COOL. I'm glad you're supporting the school and also the gamestores with it. This is AWESOME

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.

My Elementary and Middle School(s) had a main actual building, but we had a number of trailers like those for a handful of the classes. Also, Archery is one of the best sports out there! I wished my High School had a D&D Club, but never happened.

Such a wholesome video. Definitely what I needed to start the day. Thank you for all you do Duke and for inspiring me to finally join a D&D group lol.

duke this is awesome. we really really appreciate this!

Duke has to be one of the most amazing and relentlessly kind human beings to ever live- no one can change my mind.

Absolutely happy and proud to help!

THese comments are so full of love a perfect example for an awesome community who loooves to get more and new people involved in their hobbies and stuff

One time my Dm shouted out in the middle of a pub whilst playing call of cthulhu: BUT WE'RE CARRYING ILLEAGAL WEAPONS!! And then entire pub went quiet.

MAD respect to you sir! Nothing better than bringing in the love and family that gaming brings together. Way cool!!

This feels so heart warming to watch, I didn't realize how much stuff you were going to get them but I hope that they really enjoy it. This community is great and I am glad they can help make a difference like that for such a small town community like that which they probably didn't know too much about prior. You are all amazing and inspiring. Hope someday I can do something like this too.

I am now much more excited that i donated what i could... You always do such awesome stuff. Creative and kind, makes for the best content around

When I was in elementary school, they had "modulars", which you would consider mobile homes, as "extra" buildings. I think they were planning to build more.

So nice! It was really nice that you bought everything from a small shop and not from Amazon!

That was so fun to watch! Glad to see the stores and communities getting some love!

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!

Yo!! That transition was sick!!! Keep up the awesome work. You are the hero we don’t deserve but the one we need. Much love bro, peace✌️❤

DUKE!!!! Not are you only amazing to set up these kids with so many new games and equipment, but you also helped out the local gaming stores too! You are the greatest! Thank you for giving and helping out so many people! 💛 Made me cry!

Normal man who gets asked for generosity: completely ignores or mails some small amount Duke getting asked for generosity: "Have half of 2 games stores!"

The MOTIVATIONAL POSTER in the school office has me rolling on the floor.

2 mins in i had a massive smile by 12 mins i was in tears :D Love it.

This is a moment that will live with everyone involved for a lifetime

Yoooo, this makes me think of my highschool! My friends actually started a dnd club in our middle school AND highschool, and we have over 20 players and multiple campaigns! Crazy! I’ve been sitting on the fence, but now: +1 subscriber

So amazing, but also, my husband and I agreed, We need the items Nancy made! 🙂

I love this so much! Being from a small town myself, I think it's incredible how you helped not only the club, but the school & the gaming store owners! All the people who helped make this possible are incredible! Keep being awesome!

I'm beyond happy that you did this for the school. Good on you and I'm so stoked for how wholesome this community is. Good looking out my man.

He's not the hero we wanted, but he's the hero we needed.

This is so awesome that you do this, I really wish I could do this, but I live in a town almost as small as Valley. Edit: I'm not saying that so anybody feels remorse, I just said it because I didn't thing about it

My husband used to own an online rpg store. Unfortunately due to personal circumstances we had to close the store. My husband donated a few hundred pounds worth of rpg games, dice etc to various student and kids clubs. X

HUGE thank you to Nancy and Steven. Duke, I love your generosity and a hello from your #1 fan from the Netherlands. You got me into playing DnD and I also thank you for that.

I agree, Oath of Throwing it Back paladin is very relatable

This was beautiful to watch ❤ The feeling of fulfillment and pride that you got for supporting the school is such an amazing feeling!

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.

We need more people like you in our world, Duke. Oh and your community. Thank you for this awesomeness. It made my day to see the kids being that happy.

What you do is a godsend. More videos like this. I mean not only it introduces new people to d&d but it also opens it up to other ttrpg

So happy to see this video! You are super sweet for putting donators names in the video too!

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.

It's so cool that you and the community were able to come together and do this! I could feel how hyped you were to be able to bring this much joy to those fine people!

Gotta do two comments because damn, this was wholesome af. Thanks for this video Duke! Videos like this help restore my faith in humanity due to how awesome us DnD nerds are! Wish you the best!

...and so you return home safely with your quest complete and the smiles of children warming your heart. You all level up, and that's where we'll end today's session.

I am so happy we all could bring such chances for big fun for those kids. Big thanks to you, Duke for making it possible :3

I’ve been one of those passive viewers for a long time now, seen (and enjoyed) a bunch of your content but wasn’t subscribed. This act of kindness earned a sub!

You're doing wonders for d and d and board game communities man thank you for being a wonderful person! We love you!

Finally finished watching brings a big Ole smile to your face. You and the community are really giving back in a way that matters keep on spreading the joy 😊

The absolute respect this you have for those who go (somewhat) unnoticed is a nat 20!

I'm speechless... So cool, so incredible... In Italy we don't have school clubs but gosh that is amazing... You did great and wow...

My sister leads the D&D gaming group at a small private school in Lebanon, OR. They also don't have much and the nearest gaming store is the next town over (25 miles)

Oh my god I love it. I mean I hit thumbs up with the ad-barian part but man I laughed so much with how red you turned because of the old people. And it wasn’t so much you being embarrassed and more the universal judgement youth gets from old people. You never quite grow out it. Lol I’ve even gotten it from my own grandma. What is it about their nonjudgmental tone that feels so judgmental of your life choices lol.

Duke should totally have a PO box or something

Thank you for doing this. I came from a small town, so I understand what this will mean to them. THANK YOU!!

That was so wholesome that I need to go check myself immediately for both diabetes and allergies cause the sweetness was off the charts and my eyeballs won't stop sweating. Truly an amazing video to experience, Duke. Definitely looking forward to more of this kind of supportive content that benefits both the communities, and local game shops.

This video came up randomly for me, great stuff, man! Thanks for coming out to rural eastern Washington! I'm about an hour south of Spokane in a small town. I've never played D&D, but do a bit of 40k. This is so important and impactful for a such a small community.

This is loyalty to your friends and people,i approve this the emperor bless this little souls on their adventures on dnd and life, remember the lion is with you!!

i had to do a double-take on if you said you were in wa or not. XD i live 2 hours from spokane, and btw, i think you're the only youtuber that can actually pronounce it right!

Great work, Duke. You'll be very fondly remembered there.

This is so awesome! Congratulations, Duke!

Bringing back the interaction! What a great start for this school! Thanks for bringing joy to Stevens County kids...and don't forget to sit straight! You don't have to slouch to be a "gamer" 🤺💃🏻-Gaming Mama

These kind of videos are not only incredible beauty to watch, but it's also an awesome and kind gesture of your... Thank you for this! Doesnt make to much difference, but you've earned a subscriber to every chanel...

Great wholesome video with great heart, generosity, and if course the great funnies that is Duke!!!

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 😂

I do have to say you are a true inspiration for everyone out there not just in the D&D community but the whole world. It's people like you and my forever DM that inspired me to get back to DMing and helping others

UNREAL!!!!! BEYOND BLOWN AWAY. Great work!

This was amazing to watch. Nothing like giving the next generation the joy of table top games.

Duke, this is literally your best video outside of the skits! Keep it going!

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)

I was just tuning in and then had a god damn heart attack when you said Spokane Washington, I have never before heard the name of my city in a video before lol.

Great job folks! You're amazing!

Thats awesome! Reall nice to see the outcome of that stream!

Bro blessed them kids up good work man

Awesome! Love that you're supporting the local game stores.

That town has less people than my graduating class...by A LOT!

I grew up in Spokane. My high school had a club dedicated to RISK.
