"Players think the DM has all the answers; in fact we have all the QUESTIONS" I feel so seen by this statement
-
Aragorn's player had a lot of problems during that part of the campaign because he chose forests and grasslands as his favored terrains.
-
"You just suck at climbing, Aragorn" I'm still laughing.
-
Gandalf knew what he was doing. He wanted that sweet balrog exp all to himself.
-
Youtube Algorithm, I summon you to fulfill your oath.
-
"Then I wouldn't need players, I would go write another novel" Don't threaten us with a good time, Collville.
-
We use the same strategy regarding choice with toddlers. It's not, "Are you ready for dinner?" It's, "Do you want the Paw Patrol plate or the Mickey Mouse plate?" It gives the child a sense of ownership in the decision even though you decided it was dinnertime.
-
I was literally rewatching the catastrophic failure video, and was at the part where you warned against taking away agency, when I received this notification. Fantastic timing. “Nobody throws me my own guns and says ride. Nobody.”
-
I love how this episode subtly recontextualized the previous “Lord of the Rings is a railroaded campaign” narrative from the old video.
-
"[The module authors] expected the players to take the path of least resistance." That's a mistake made often, and remembered long.
-
19:43 "The people you meet aren't problems to solve: they're people." Life axiom right here.
-
As an illustrator, I feel the "if you give someone all the options, they will always choose the one you like least" on a downright spiritual level. the number of times I have thought about removing a composition option from my sketches, didn't, and then lived to regret it....uncountable
-
First three minutes and you made me realize I was about to make a grave mistake towards my players. Thank you.
-
"Imagine people complexly." Is worthy of a shirt, if not a damn plaque.
-
Running the game is definitely a series that gets clicked when a new episode hits.
-
This feels like a classic running the game video! Reminds me of watching your videos when I was just getting into D&D 5-6 years ago. Man, what a crazy couple of years!!
-
I like how you re-used "getting past the Misty Mountains" from your previous Railroad video as an example of a Non-Railroad. How the players view it vs how the DM sees it
-
If you, Sir, were an item in DnD, it would be on the highest table, the one were you need to roll a 100! You really are a treasure to the dnd community!
-
"You just suck at mountain climbing Aragorn" is my next DM shirt
-
I see Ajax sitting in the back, listening to the wisdom of his creator.
