@XBurntBProductionsX the way you explain sports is like you've never played one in your life. Loser. Is about being ACTIVE not sitting on your ass thinking with an imagination like an 8 year old. Do you get hot girls like that? No. Guess what buddy, hot ass girls like guys who play sports and aren't Wierd. But whatever it's not my problem that's how u are
@steven20600 Obviously your new to tabletop RPGs. But about your question. Yes, and, no. Lots happens on maps (This is the board you talking of) like battles, the reason you use maps in battle is for specific movements your characters do. But a lot take place off the map, most people don't use maps for everything, like going into towns, or roleplaying. Without a map it allows you to use your imagination. If you have any more questions just message me.
@thehuntress144, whenever an epic story is created, it borrows elements from art, history, literature, and nature itself. It isnt stealing or ripping off. Its the creative process. And d&d is not a rip off of lotr. Just read DM of the rings and you'll realize how absurd that sounds
@TheZiggirawk I use the term "rip off" loosely, but come on...Tolkien is the grand-daddy of the modern day fantasy genre. halflings are clearly hobbits despite the great lengths wotc legal dept has gone to convince us otherwise. also, d&d obviously lifts from ancient/arthurian legend...even the paladins are lifted from medieval era mythos. it's a fun game; I'm just saying d+d was never particularly original so why get irked if Skyrim "ripped it off"?
@TheHuntress144 You're right. Technically Tolkein was in a Norse Myth LARP group way before D&D along with C.S. Lewis, and he'd be the first to admit that the LOTR were an homage to Norse Myth. If he wasn't so antitechnology I think he'd approve of both D&D and Skyrim for the dedicated study involved in world building in both.
@TheMessanjah which are all a rip off of JRR Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy which is a rip off of mythology from ancient civilizations and medieval europe.
This is all crap. They just want to sell you new books. The original AD&D books from the late 70s early 80s are all you need. DMG, Players Handbook, Unearthed Arcana, Monster Manual 1 and 2, Fiend Folio, and Legends and Lore (Deities and Demigods). Even back then they came out with crap (Oriental Adventures, wilderness, underground). They will never stop "improving" the game. Don't get caught up in it. The books you buy today will be obsolete tomorrow. Thief is now rogue? PC crap.
@pac43man I forgot Manual of the Planes. Awesome. Also the original Greyhawk box set is awesome. The old Dragon magazine had lots of good ideas for DM's. You don't need miniatures! You need dice, paper and pencils. Oversized graph paper is great for mapping and structuring melee. IMHO the greatest module ever written is The Temple of Elemental Evil. All the best stuff was written when D&D was still owned by the now defunct TSR. RIP Gary Gygax
@pac43man Exactly, I think its best to find a edition and roll with it. Though new editions are cool to check out, its much better if you get a collection of a certain edition you wan't to play.
@FalconCrystal DnD came out in the 1970's...it a paper and pen rpg game in its 4th edition. Its probably the best rpg out there because you actually rpg with other people and not with computer determined responses...
@excap I am a geek, and proud of it. This is the common comment for someone who has never roleplayed before. But what makes me any geekier than you? I play a game that requires though, friends, and imagination. Not a game where people get sweaty, dirty, and touch each other far too much.
original AD&D and version 2 is my thought. I am used to AC being from 10 to -10. Additional modifications should be up to the DM. How to organize enemy combatants should be advice given on the internet. Actually Players handbook, DM Guide, and MM should be online. Though a computer can simulate random numbers, it can not replace dice.
Dungeons and Dragons is a very "interesting" and revolutionary game consisting of imagination and turn based combat. I would recommend this to anyone who has any time to spare.
hey uhm have you ever thought of making an online version of this game? Im not talking about DDO, Im talking about The board game it seemed like it be fun, because Im tired of playing with the same people. please respond Thank you!
@UTFxMarcus I think if your an insider at the D&D website (some kind of membership) you can join some testing that is exactly what you are talking about. Its not free though. :(
Fuck.... I wish I had more nerd friends. Why can't nerds like me dress right? wtf its like they have no social sense. I dress like a boss, but I'm also nerdy as shit. why can they not become one with eachother. it disturbs me
@the2fang2gang dude. Two of my friends who play DnD are athletics that could beat YOU up anyway. And why the f*ck are you talking about RECESS!? Are you a eight year old trying to look cool!?
@Paapyna I love games like those, ESPECIALLY the ones that completely throw off EVERYTHING the DM plans.
I tend to be the bumbling rogue who can't pick locks or disarm traps, but somehow manages to pull of spectacular and almost impossible saves when my life is in danger.
@SmartMiroku Yeap! We're still on on that game and we COMPLETELY renewed our DMs story! And the "War of Gods" was caused by a little mystical symbol that one of our members left on the table of a certain captain he murdered just to fuck up the minds of those who came to investigate it... And once when we were on desert we found a merchant boat coming selling water... Ofc we thought hes prices were too high and I finally managed to slay him after 3 hours of poking him with a "fang".
People hated 3.0 & 3.5 when it came after 2nd. Just how it goes.Most of what people say about 4e is wrong. I have been a DM of all editions of D&D & many other systems as well...4e is a good d20 system. CAN roleplay well in it. Do not have to use miniatures (1square= 5feet), Though they help in ALL editions. PC choices & builds are not railroaded They just say what many know in other eds, to be clear for new players. All classes have worth. Powers are badass. Still have the normal basic attack.
@inlife9 well there's obviously something wrong with 4th cause they're already working on 5th... :\ apparently it's not selling as it should and stuff like that. They already canceled some books. They gonna hire back some of the crew that was on 3.5 and left when they saw and didn't like the direction 4th was going.
@beatlesguyEM I know.3.5 was not selling like it was supposed to either. The 4e hate campaign came before the release. Is what it is. I still stand that it is a fun game, in the hands of a good DM, but lets face it most dms/gamers these days dont think about whats good with stuff before they are already tearing at whats wrong with it. Nothing can survive that. I hope 5th will be good, but my 4e campaign is awesome, so I am not sure I care
So how about d&d will always be greater than skyrim, because of the sheer limitless opportunities of the game and how much fun you have WITH OTHER PEOPLE not alone
I have friends, but I keep my nerdy gaming self in which I'm into a lot of fantasy things and games, books and Yogscast separate from my normal teenage girl life, I can't play this with my friends :( they think I'm nerdy enough playing wow and minecraft LoL!!
@whiskerwolf1 I know how you feel. I wanna go around playing magic and DnD but I would look so nerdy... Maybe I can discretely convince all the cool kids to play?
D&D is a very advanced boardgame combat simulator and a good one at that (considering they've had 30 years to develop it, it's not surprising). But to call it an RPG is to be out on deep water.
No RPG worth the name contains levels and focuses solely on combat, which is just one way of solving conflicts. In these kind of games, everything naturally revolves around combat, as it is a combat simulator.
I feel truly sorry for those who want to play RPGs and have only played games such as D&D.
@ubbecykelkedja You must not know enough about it to know what you're talking about... It's not just a combat simulator. It is just like, but actually better than a video game, because it is not limited by a computer. The only limit to the game is your imagination. You create your own plots, characters, you can even create your own monsters, if you know what you're doing. You act out your characters, like if you were playing a barbarian, you would say, "Derp want." You can't do that in a game.
@Screamingacurse You don't have to explain to me what a RPG is. If you want to actually play a RPG, D&D is a terrible choice, among the worst I can think of. Sure, you can do whatever you want, within EXTREMELY restricting boundaries to both GM (called DM in D&D, giving a hint) and players. The lore is awkward to say the least. If you would go outside of set boundaries, the entire game would fall to pieces.
I feel genuinely sorry for those who interested in actual RPGs, who have only tried D&D.
@HubbsClassics Elder Scrolls, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons. With these people call me a nerd because i play, read and learned about all these. Those people are stereotypical retarded jocks who only focus on bashing people senselessly in Football, and get a 70% in college grades.
@BaxterXenon Is this some kind of insult? Just so you know, I got low 90's in high school, hat football and was by no ones standards a jock. Furthermore, I've spent easily over 100 hours reading up the history behind games and stories such asDragon age, Elder scrolls, Lord of the rings, etc.
Also, I do not consider you a nerd purely on the basis of your playing a table top role playing game.
@HubbsClassics no it's not an insult. I always thought i'd be insulted by playing DnD with a good reason. I just never could hear the day someday a "jock" would have the decency to insult me for no reason. so sorry if i offended you.
@HubbsClassics this game has nothing but nothing with Skyrim. Skyrim is never with teamplay or friends, it's more like this dungeons in WoW or D&D the game or Dungeon Siege. It's just totally different
@EchtePoekel I agree to a degree. D&D is far more similiar to Dragon age than Skyrim, which I believe used D&D as an influence for the romances, moral decisions, character relationships, stats, etc. However- I never said they were similiar- just that one reminded me of the other
i always thought D&D was realy dorky... but now that ive looked up more info about it, i feel like i want to give it a shot. im realy into creative freedom kind of games
@swissyode Ikr, It seems pretty fun but before you'd know anything about it, people would automatically think it's really dumb, I sorta wanna play it too now. >_>
@MegaVergan yes, not only are there two different style builds for the assassin class but virtually any character could be considered an assissin if you equip them right and train them in skills like stealth.
@jwashe1234 See, I think it's the best edition yet. It's finally a group effort, instead of everyone else being reduced to carrying the casters' stuff. I also like the narrative control that has been put in the hands of the players.
A group of my mates decided they want to try Dungeons and Dragons, I'm the only one who's ever played before and knows any of the rules (Though it was a long time ago and my knowledge is now quite limited) We'll be playing 3.5 edition because 4th is gay. I'll be DMing since I'm the only one who really can, but as I said I've forgotten much and never DM'd before. The group is going to be 7 or so people, so a large amount for a first time DM'er, any tips? I'm also writing the campaign.
@Makoman2008 Obviously you didn't understand the premise of my comment, I was asking for advice. The better question is, why were you too stupid to comprehend the nature of my comment, and why did you feel the need to reply to it and make yourself look retarded?
@RyanHawkz i have tendencies to skim comments. i reread your comment and saw you asked for tips. i apoligize for sounding like a dick. also, i didnt intend to be mean, i was literally just asking
Chris Perkin's other D&D 4e videos got me to buy this game after playing nothing but Traveller and its great. Now I play Encounters games weekly plus am starting a new Pathfinder game and I play D&D games with the kids as well. Its a great way to get together away from the TV. I prefer the openness of D&D 4e to Pathfinder, which is too rules intensive.Certainly miniatures are the way to go, get them on Ebay, but the tokens inside the excellent range of Essentials products does just as well.
me my cousin and my friend were gonna start playing this while just talking over Skype (they live in another country) would this be just as good as it would be with the board n figures? and is is possible to play with only 3 people?
@oOoAeroMonkeyoOo In the swedish version of D&D(in sweden named dargons and demons) you can play just 3 persons and dont need any board or figures, but it gives a better experiance!
My fiancé plays D&D via webcam every other Saturday. I'm glad I watched this video--it helped me understand the game much better! Thanks for uploading this!! :D
yeh i'll play some football(real football, not gayFL) Also if your just dissing D&D because it has a nerdish stereotype then that just makes you another ignorant sheep. Haha, have fun in your little world of ignorance.
yeh i am australian and i don't like afl so what? does every REAL australian have to like that fucking game? Why the fuck is your name maradona if you're trying to diss my choice in sport? By the way your shitty little points *>2011
>YOU
>A HUGE FAGGOT* make no sense so i'm coming to the conclusion you're a pathetic troll who's probably on meth and have been kicked out of your D&D group hence why you are trying to troll this video.
Chris seems so dull in this just explaining the basics but when he plays Acquisitions Incorporated with penny arcade and Wil Wheaton hes amazingly funny and cool. Hes a god amongst DMs.
4th edition is fantastic, I hope they keep supporting it for years to come! I had very mixed feelings about D&D back then, but this edition I love.
I think people who bash 4e are insane or simply never tried it. It's a better system than 3.5, simpler, tighter and more complete, and the tactical combat is amazing, never gets old.
I wish more people played this game. Today if you played this game you would be labeled a geek or nerd, which sucks because that discourages people from playing this game.
@supremeG1000 Quite a lot of video games have taken D&D creatures and ideas. Lich's and beholders are probably the most common monsters created by D&D in video games.
There are online communities that provide opportunities for players to meet up. Obsidian Portal lets you advertise and search for game groups and campaigns that are looking for new players in your area.
@TiddyTraci Apparently Wizards is working on an online program to let people play over the internet, so you could always try that when it leaves beta.
@TiddyTraci I don't think you can actually share links on YouTube comments, but just google D&D Virtual Table, and it should come up. Also, D&D Online is actually an MMORPG based in Eberron. It's completely different then the Virtual Table.
@XBurntBProductionsX the way you explain sports is like you've never played one in your life. Loser. Is about being ACTIVE not sitting on your ass thinking with an imagination like an 8 year old.

Sure, you can do whatever you want, within EXTREMELY restricting boundaries to both GM (called DM in D&D, giving a hint) and players. The lore is awkward to say the least. If you would go outside of set boundaries, the entire game would fall to pieces.
I feel genuinely sorry for those who interested in actual RPGs, who have only tried D&D.

@HubbsClassics Elder Scrolls, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons. With these people call me a nerd because i play, read and learned about all these. Those people are stereotypical retarded jocks who only focus on bashing people senselessly in Football, and get a 70% in college grades.

@BaxterXenon Is this some kind of insult? Just so you know, I got low 90's in high school, hat football and was by no ones standards a jock. Furthermore, I've spent easily over 100 hours reading up the history behind games and stories such asDragon age, Elder scrolls, Lord of the rings, etc.
Also, I do not consider you a nerd purely on the basis of your playing a table top role playing game.
HubbsClassics 2 months ago
@HubbsClassics no it's not an insult. I always thought i'd be insulted by playing DnD with a good reason. I just never could hear the day someday a "jock" would have the decency to insult me for no reason. so sorry if i offended you.
BaxterXenon 2 months ago
@HubbsClassics this game has nothing but nothing with Skyrim. Skyrim is never with teamplay or friends, it's more like this dungeons in WoW or D&D the game or Dungeon Siege. It's just totally different
EchtePoekel 2 months ago
@EchtePoekel I agree to a degree. D&D is far more similiar to Dragon age than Skyrim, which I believe used D&D as an influence for the romances, moral decisions, character relationships, stats, etc. However- I never said they were similiar- just that one reminded me of the other

@jwashe1234 See, I think it's the best edition yet. It's finally a group effort, instead of everyone else being reduced to carrying the casters' stuff. I also like the narrative control that has been put in the hands of the players.
Droogie128 2 months ago
A group of my mates decided they want to try Dungeons and Dragons, I'm the only one who's ever played before and knows any of the rules (Though it was a long time ago and my knowledge is now quite limited) We'll be playing 3.5 edition because 4th is gay. I'll be DMing since I'm the only one who really can, but as I said I've forgotten much and never DM'd before. The group is going to be 7 or so people, so a large amount for a first time DM'er, any tips? I'm also writing the campaign.

Chris Perkin's other D&D 4e videos got me to buy this game after playing nothing but Traveller and its great. Now I play Encounters games weekly plus am starting a new Pathfinder game and I play D&D games with the kids as well. Its a great way to get together away from the TV. I prefer the openness of D&D 4e to Pathfinder, which is too rules intensive.Certainly miniatures are the way to go, get them on Ebay, but the tokens inside the excellent range of Essentials products does just as well.

4th edition is fantastic, I hope they keep supporting it for years to come! I had very mixed feelings about D&D back then, but this edition I love.
I think people who bash 4e are insane or simply never tried it. It's a better system than 3.5, simpler, tighter and more complete, and the tactical combat is amazing, never gets old.
