D&D Session - Friday - Ep.1 Pt1

[CajunRecon]

I've been playing D&D since 2nd edition. I recently came from a game where the players started off as slaves forced into cage fights I usually play Human great sword wielding fighters my favorite character was a lvl 15 Chaotic good fighter that wielded a +3 keen great sword and also had improved critical he was in a 3rd edition game. Unfortunately at those lvls is when you find out how good a dm you have because it either gets too powerful and loses control of game or manages balance.

[inlife9]

Where are you guys located?

[fairydragon]

@inlife9 San Diego :D

[808BRONY]

what class is the Dwarf? I'm currently a Dwarven fighter.

[fairydragon]

@808BRONY I believe he's fighter + Dwarven Defender?

[Goosehead101]

0:28 - "Wait wait, we're loading peasants? This is AWESOME!"

[DarthRalek]

Wait...do they have airships in D&D?

I no jack about it so just wondering. Thanks for the upload though, really liked it.

[Zodiacrin]

@DarthRalek If the DM says so, then yes.

[DragonisHellfire420]

oh how i have missed watching these video's. im a little more seasoned in D&D now but i still have not found a game that is as fun as your game looks. even though my one voice isn't gonna be enough to get you to load more weekly game, i am begging for more video's. yes i am a huge fan

[LoodleRyuzaki]

Never played D&D, but this looks really fun ^^

[fairydragon]

@LoodleRyuzaki Glad you think so. D&D, or any tabletop game, really, can be a lot of fun...especially with the right group of people :)

[LoodleRyuzaki]

@fairydragon Yeah, too bad I can't even get my friends to play a round of monopoly, let alone a game like this ^^"

[Thund3rsmurf]

@LoodleRyuzaki dude, it's beyond fun. I just played for the first time on Wednesday. We're playing 4th Edition and I've never laughed so hard as when i rolled two consecutive 1's and almost killed our fighter :)

[icehawk671994]

@Thund3rsmurf nice!

[evster320]

The guy at the opposite end of the table from the DM, looks like the lead dancer from Skinny Puppys Protest Music Video.

[ARS1989]

the day that never comes intro? nice

[boxyman6]

I could not handle playing in a room where they are smoking, maybe smoking weed, but not fucking tobacco

[ARS1989]

@boxyman6 stop talking

[Agent1W]

@boxyman6 What the DM might tell you:

[Lawful Good] Yeah, I need to respect your sensitivities. I won't smoke around you, then.

[Chaotic Good] Hey man, tobacco's awesome. I'm not cryin' about stuff you like to do.

[Lawful Evil] You don't like it? Tough shit for you then. Suck it the fuck up.

[Chaotic Evil] BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS!!!

[boxyman6]

@Agent1W Dm's don't have alignment, only the characters do.

[Agent1W]

@boxyman6 By alignment, your DM could be a cool guy or just a complete asshole.

[RandomPandaET]

OMG it's Christoper Titus..

[10JNizzle]

"As a Dwarf and being able to tell how deep I am..." brown chicken brown cow!

[10JNizzle]

where is mountian dew code red?

[TheL0rdOfTheStrings]

Where're the Cheetos?

[fairydragon]

@TheL0rdOfTheStrings To be fair, we don't have Mountain Dew either.

[TheL0rdOfTheStrings]

@fairydragon yeah I noticed :) So what's up, do you guys (and girl) still play regularly? Last upload is session from 2009

[fairydragon]

@TheL0rdOfTheStrings Haha. Yeah, though will some substantial changes to the players, venue, and in some cases, system.

[bobbywattson]

@TheL0rdOfTheStrings are there girls there if there are i wana do them!!!

[10JNizzle]

@bobbywattson roll the die to see if im getting drunk!!

[lawlawlawlawlawlolz]

I'm a sorcerer. I love taking no damage at all and my armour is so light it has no con towards tumble and jump checks and whatnot.

[lawlawlawlawlawlolz]

Pocket vampire.

[susanagoncalvesedu]

Yah, I can relate to this. Only a person how played this before can understand how much fun this game really is. It's making me miss those nights out...

[WizardKing78]

OMG what a bunch of dickheads. I can't believe I used to be one of them! ^^

[LegitBacKd00rNiNJa69]

@WizardKing78 i used to be just as prejudice but i gave it a chance and now i really like it

[venomoususus]

if only Morgan Freeman was narrating

[GrahznyJewelThief]

I feel bad for the DM. Some of those dudes are fucking annoying.

[computermanis]

Wow hella lucky wish i had a game group this laid back nice vid

[hollyhock18x7]

You shouldn't be smoking. The only thing that should be smoking is a dead ogre you just Fire Ball'd xD

[alphabladelm2011]

@hollyhock18x7 or a campfire used to roast a dead boar :)

[itztheJL]

LoL at the fat dude

[TrNdke]

@itztheJL Umm... you really need to be more specific.

[YellowLambda]

Who are you?

Im Scrambles!

[YellowLambda]

The DM is god bitches....

[Awesomeodin19]

I love 3.5 :]

[pom0daz]

i don't know how to play D&D but this video is still entertaining!

[fragmaster101]

3.5 is the best version.

[Silvertrine]

1st Edition forever. Play AD&D like a rampaging barbarian kicking down the door to hell itself. Fast and furious.

[Dumezil357]

you guys screw around a lot... if I was DMing this game I would be going crazy.

[mjkingofpop1993]

@Dumezil357 well dnd is all about having fun and a good laugh with your buddies! of course i agree with you but no 100%. i believe that you should equally divide the session time between having a blast off-game by screwing around, having a blast in game by doing something in character funny and role playing it and having a serious and dramatic or tough moment in game which of course also counts as a 'fun' time. as i said dnd is all about having fun. even if you play a very serious campaign.

[BlueLightSpecial90]

Dr. Pepper. Makes your fantasy world taste better.

[fairydragon]

@BlueLightSpecial90 LoL. We should have a sponsorship.

[mindful1983]

thin guy so annoying

[AccioSmileyFace]

im lovin watchin the old man in the background... thinking oh god .. shut up lol

[AccioSmileyFace]

jokings good and all in fun but u have to get back to the story

[AccioSmileyFace]

palladins rules!!! ... ac whore ftw

[315MrAnonymous]

the skinny guy looks like chritipher tttus 3.5 ftw

[315MrAnonymous]

lvl 11 tiefling spell thief. With a drow fighter a priest of palor and a sorceress from another plane and now a necromancer. and some stupid archer my friend made so his ex gf could play with us :D 3.5 ftw love d&d so fun 18 ranks in tumble with at 4d6 sneak attack plus 1d6 from a fire gem in my barbed dagger and the 1d6 electric it does is insane for a sneaky character like a spell thief i wanna play again :(

[allanttucker]

lol 9:30 at Gm ten minutes of usless out of character ranting about 1st dwarven Fain and guy at end makes a big deal out of them GM Irritated "...they're copper pieces...."

[TheOptimalmale]

@allanttucker GM you mean dungeon master?

[dogslobber45]

the guy jokes way to fucking much. 

[samuraihavok607]

@dogslobber45 its a game my man this is the best thing about d@d sitting around the table with buddies having fun. keyword now fun.

[arsdag81]

I'm not gonna lie the dude with the flat-top, smoking a cigarette looked pretty bad ass.

[greyroom23]

diggin the g'ma in the recliner at 7:18

[elquimicofarmacobiol]

D & D, Cigarettes, beers and girls.. it`s perfect o.o

[nikoz78]

Anything after TSR went under is not genuine. AD&D 2E is the final version of D&D. Not saying 3E+ are not good RPG's; they are. But they are not the real thing. Advanced will always be the holy grail of RPG's. There is NOTHING else like it.

[ValentineZwei]

lmao "We're loading peasants into the cannons? This is awesome"! Completely epic statement.

[AwshomeneshShquared]

NERDS!!! GOD HELP US ALL!!! jk

[SpartanPaxton]

that one guy jokes a bit to much

[Nagraath]

So annoying when there's an arrogant smoking cunt at the table. Real fun.

[donpatch42]

y dont u guys use miniatures?

[fairydragon]

@donpatch42 We do, just only when we're in combat

[Proletarian1917]

@donpatch42 Miniatures are optional. You'll find a lot of people don't use them at all. I've been playing for 15 years and I haven't used any minis in at least 10 years.

[avend666]

@donpatch42 Others, like us when we play, never use miniatures. Not even in combat. Only in case it gets really confusing - we sometimes use tokens like coins for mass battles to keep track. But miniatures are luxury, not required.

[TheJuggaloReaper]

lol you guys are awesome i would love to play this game with some friends looks like fun

[fiddlestyxify]

No way! Dude gets to smoke at the table? I have to go outside and it breaks up gameplay. So upsetting to choose between two habits.

[keithehlert]

moving to dallas soon,long time gurps g.m will need players!!!!!!

[keithehlert]

this is why i don't play ad&d anymore and now play gurps.much more realistic game.moving to dallas tx soon if anyone is looking for a longtime g.m to play under.

[Sarge3712]

Smoker has to go, nasty.

[skaterdude297]

personally i think d&d 3.5e and d&d 4e are differnt but they both have there ups and downs.3.5e is more roleplaying and a lot more detailed and is very presised but 4e is more for action but it is still fun.i have played 3.5e and my d&d party is switching to 4e cause we wannto try it.there is definitly alot more items in d&d 4e(with the vault's) but 3.5 is very fun and dming is alot harder in 3.5(personal experience) and 4e looks very fun.we are very excited! there both pretty awsome

[LiquidFilter]

4th edition doesnt have the feeling of the original fantasy worl of D&D. My all time favorites are AD&D 2nd edition and 3.5.

[defstoner18]

Check out Pathfinder, its made by several Dragon mag authors and Monte Cook who was hugely influential in past editions. Its basically 3.5 on steroids.

[LegitBacKd00rNiNJa69]

@LiquidFilter have you played pathfinder its basically DND 3.75 it is MUCH better than 3.5 and a shit ton better than 4.0

[Makingthebullet]

Poor peasants. In order for it to be a true DnD session, at least one peasant must die in some incredibly strange way. xD

[Skuu78]

I can go 4th and 3.5 but I kind of like the new Pathfinder.

[CaptKujata]

How are Peasants turned into Area of Affect weapons?!?!?! XD

[lorddard]

Have you played 4th ed yet?...Greatest version yet!

[Melamoto]

Depends on what you're interested in. Really, choice of edition is entirely personal preference.

[fairydragon]

Very true.

[IrvineFFviii]

Yes its very nice edition. When i first saw it i was disappointed a little but in time i got excited with it. Its sad that most people dislike it so much.... They are stuck to the past

[Luguolo]

i dont view it as stuck in the past. i tried 4th, its just not my game. WoW on paper isnt why i decided to play D&D, it looks like alot of fun, but from a hack and slash point of view.

[IrvineFFviii]

@Luguolo I believe that they roleplaying part remained the same good and they just changed the way of battle into a more realistic one. There are more races which are very interesting. And they have fixes issues like very powerful low level fighters while mages had just one magic missile at 1st level for example and then they attacked with a crossbow that was ridiculous for me! Or the bard is now a powerful leader not just a useless spokesman of the party! Rogue much better too!

[Luguolo]

fair enough on some of the power balances, and i am not sure about the new races (like which ones?) but 4.0 was alot of hack and slash, the role playing isnt built into the game anymore, it has to be added. also, i play a bard, and find him VERY versitile in battle, i dont even speak for my party. the idea of one spell and then crossbow, while hard to play, was realistic, a low level mage didnt rely on his spells, even high levels shouldnt. and at low level a mage can fight as good as anyone.

[XxStavrosxX]

I haven't played anything else besides 4th. So I don't really know any different. I assume the differences are great, but would anyone mind a quick summery?

[Luguolo]

a summery is a bit hard, and different from person to person, but for me it put alot in the hands of the DM and players. alot of it was guidelines more then rules, and left specific roles to specific people. i found that it wasnt as complicated as alot of people played it up to be once you wrapped your head around WHY they were doing certain things.

if you want to chat me, toss me a msg!

[CondorDM]

1st ed, 1st ed adnd and adnd 2ed are real dungeons and dragons made by tsr, wotc has a pen and paper game they title dnd but it is not real dungeons and dragons, your playing a game made by a group of people who are also known for creating pokemon trading card game.

I will stick with 2ed(real dnd).

[tyleratthegates]

woot! METALLICA

[fairydragon]

\m/ ^.^ \m/

[TheMarinzek]

4.0 suck - 3,5 rules

[lk333]

@TheMarinzek thats just your opinion like mine is both have there pros and cons I started playing with 3.5 and started 4th becuase I thought it would be a good Idea to stay with the current edition.

[marvelona]

yeah but the question is, do you find it more fun?

[Shuphoenix]

I love 3.5

[SpartanPaxton]

@Shuphoenix 3.5 for the win

[Duskhart]

That kid playing at the left end of the table is very annoying i get hes trying to be funny but he keeps interrupting everyone including the DM a lot.

[dragonpark101]

ha clowns

[ShadowHero2009]

Makes me wish I had a group nearby, I'm stuck with Dungeons and Dragons Online.

[Whosblah]

I agree, but I didnt know there was an online one. whats it like?

[ShadowHero2009]

It uses 3.5 edition rules. It's...good and pretty fun/interesting.

[kingdomheartsvids]

Wow this group looks really geeky....

Just like mine :p

[fairydragon]

How could we be anything but? ;P

[kingdomheartsvids]

loolz

[HxTrEmEcHaOs]

you guys have a giant airship? damn all I got is a thunderstone and my armor lol( playin 3.5)

[chriztoph3]

yay! this is awesome!

[Chuckonbass67]

only decent thing about 4e is the character builder. Is there a character builder program for 3.5?

[fairydragon]

Mmm, well, I'm not sure. Maybe E-tools, though I'm not sure if there is an updated one for 3.5 or if it can incorporate all the supplemental material. The only version I have is 3.0, which does in a pinch for NPC's, but not so much for PC's.

[narufansupear]

I have a 3.5 session every Saturday :D Most of us have played since the beginning

And yes, 4e sucks dick

[imissdanivan2]

im a newbie player, havent lpayed any other editions except 4, why..may i ask does it suck?

[narufansupear]

Well honestly there's alot of reasons but one of the most obvious reasons is that it's like they made it for idiots... It's like WoW sort of.

[gatoneko]

I enjoy playing 4th ed. But along with the other response, it also makes it almost required to buy the mini's for the game, and focuses more on Combat and Roll-Playing and less Role-Playing.

[monkeys819]

wait we're loading peasants?

[mandm0821]

LOL dont think about it to hard darling ..i..i cant i dont have that much intelagance

[mandm0821]

LOL i cant stop laughing , hehe "pull my finger pull my finger" -poof- AH you pulled to hard

[cronlv16]

[4:08] "Detect magic!"

[xilix1000]

GOD i need a better group. one that laughfs more, but gets stuff done. anyway, what edition?

anytips on creating a campaign?

[fairydragon]

We play 3.5 (down with 4e!!!). Campaign creation is a rather personal thing, but we're big fans of stealing from books, movies and games.

[jimmymortis]

We all steal.

[jamestyguy]

plz keep making these videos u rock man

[JacoVornBlack20050]

can i join? (only problem i am a lich)

[fairydragon]

in real life?

[JacoVornBlack20050]

yes well i think so the ppl in white coats tell me im not but i dont trust them

[OnMyWay2TokyoU]

One should never get drunk, and play D&D.

[orphanturtle]

HAHA

[Toegoff]

Really? I don't think I've ever played sober

[leftheadgrave]

hah! awesome! DMing for the first time soon (i hope). if it's half as much fun as it looks then good times ahead

[ebs2323]

lets hope my group is this dynamic this friday...

[yousernamedkdk]

zomg finally the group is done xD

[blaakmage]

HAHAH

are all your games this funny

[fairydragon]

Most of them :D

Thanks so much for watching and stay tuned for more!

[purplejim8]

no offense but sometimes its better to make a description of the characters they're playing and whose playing as who.

[fairydragon]

I don't even know what the other people's classes are sometimes. We do have intros at the end of this episode, although I've neglected to do any more since despite several roster changes.

[Tboysupreme]

Too bad you didn't start taping at the beginning. Did they "meet at a tavern"? ;) Do all the players bring chars or do they roll them up together at the table?

[fairydragon]

Yeah, I didn't get my camera operational until after Christmas, but no, we didn't meet in a tavern. We met in a dungeon. :P Well, the original group, anyway, those still present being Felix and Charles' gnome Gartik. We've had a high rate of character turnover in this game. Generally we bring our characters. Mitch trusts us, although characters are often rolled up there due to death...

[yousernamedkdk]

im gathering a group :P to play think it looks fun xD

[fairydragon]

Awesome! Welcome to the game and thanks for watching. :D

[yousernamedkdk]

ur welcome :D

[lleeroy]

aha d&d rules im new to it and its very fun but i wish i had more people. tell that guy with the good spot mod that iron maiden rules!

[fairydragon]

I'll do that. ;D Welcome to the game.

[yousernamedkdk]

I was at a maiden concert :P here in denmark, D&D FREAKIN RULES!!! xD

[SecretPanda]

Oh yeah, just got an x-box 360 for x-mas an i'm wondering if i could add you to my friend list?

[fairydragon]

Sure, although we don't currently have LIVE (stupid dial-up), so you might be waiting to see my online for awhile. :P

[SecretPanda]

yay ^^ thx

[SecretPanda]

omg so long since i watched your movies.

I wich i could play DnD... but until then ii'l just watch you guys play ^^

[gopackers61]

why cant you play?

[SecretPanda]

I havn't playet dnd before, no one i know wants to play and i can't find anyone here in gothenburg that sells dnd

[fairydragon]

If you're looking to get your hands on the rules, the books are easy to find on places like Amazon (and generally cheaper than in stores)...and if you're resourceful, most of the books can be found using P2P programs.

[SecretPanda]

ok thx ii'l try to get the books for the 4th edition... does it sound like a good idea or should i get something else?

[fairydragon]

As much as I hate to admit it, 4th ed may be easier to pick up. You might want to check around to see what groups in your area are playing and try that. If there aren't any groups, it doesn't really matter because you can play pretty much any version of the game in pbp (play-by-post)...although it'd be much easier to learn in a real group.

[SecretPanda]

ok cuz i got some friends that wants to play but never has played. but we could start with 4th ed and once we got a hold of things we can try 3rd ed right? without going crazy.... more crazy i mean? ^^

[Knives303]

Happy New Year

[Kyothon]

WoW you guys are pretty cool...perhaps i should tape my dnd group...hmmm....but seriously you guys seem like a good group of players and have a good sense of humor.

[fairydragon]

Thanks. Hope you enjoy the rest of the vids.

[puppetmaster2122]

the dwarf is the DM now? lol AWSOME!!

Airships?? FinalFantasy style DnD?

[fairydragon]

Mitch's setting is actually vaguely steampunkish. We have zeppelin-style airships and gun, although we're working on getting a new way to power the ship (or at least that's the warforged's goal).

[puppetmaster2122]

sweet me and my friends actually have a steampunk session going on too :D

may i ask how guns work in your game?

[fairydragon]

Well, Mitch could tell you better, but basically the rules for crossbows are transparent with guns, although guns are expensive and do more damage. It's like a d6 for pistols, I know that, and shotguns do more or less damage depending on how close you are to the target.

[LovedSins]

Fucking sweet! More fairydragon...my life has meaning again!

[fairydragon]

LOL. *blush* Thanks for watching as usual. Many more parts to this episode to come!

[OverlordKay]

Holy crap! Ya, you guys are back! I see familiar faces alongside the at-this-point-unknown, and it makes me excited!

[fairydragon]

At the end of the episode I will have everbody introduce their characters, but for now, the paladin is James, the warforged is Travis, and the guy in the iron maiden top is Alex.

[evilduck360]

i like the guy in the iron maiden top he rocks
