D&D is great. I think it's lush that here in the modern age with all of its super fast processors and vast array of complex video games, there's still loads of people around the globe who still play and love this game.
the sound for background is just right. lol. some people put background musics and thats all you can hear, not the people playing. so 2 thumbs up. also another 2 thumbs up because your DM is your dad. lol.
Your dad is definitely an old-schooler. I notice he has every round init. That's a second ed rule lol. Huzzah indeed! Hope you guys/gals still play! Keep the non-4thed games alive for Gygax. At least he somewhat had a hand in 3.x and it kept the spirit of D&D alive... Magic weapons good once a day.... Scoff! lol
I am currently playing a Ranger variant that recieves the barbarians speed bonus. Currently he can casually run as fast as a cheetah and can sprint up to 200 feet in six seconds. He can run in and attack then run out before the enemy has a chance to attack. Over powered you say, awesome pwnage I say.
wow, best dad ever. i always talk about how i'm going to be like that when i have kids, but i've only met one other dad who does this, and it's so cool to see it exists.
I'm totally doing this for my kids when I become a parent! They are clearly having fun while playing a challenging game that teaches them to multi-task and encourages them to be creative.
D&D is great. Builds creativity and continuity skills. Unfortunetly it all depends on weather or not you have a decent dungeon Master. (I guess the same can be said for certian players who can ruin a whole story line in a few moments just to be a "ye olde Jerk"
Takes my group 2 hours to make characters- Another 1 hour to get the story straight - Another 2 hours diddling around town doing nothing of use - Then 3 or so hours actually doing objectives. LOL but it's great, haven't played in months :( Good times...
@eegam04 yea i know what you mean, during my campaign, one of the players attacked the other in the city, and for an hour, he tried to find a way to escape that place without being arrested. that was fun, but not as fun as killing my friend with shocker lizards. =]
if every family did that, or any other activities to interect with each others, they cold see that spending time together and use ur imagination is good.
I'm going to start playing soon with a christian friend and I'm christian also. I seriously don't understand why many other religious people are so against it. There's a huge difference between using one's imagination and performing witchcraft, which is a sin. We aren't "trying" to purposefully make this stuff real. By the way, no true christian would succumb that quickly and lose their love of God from a game anyways. God has a sense of humor and understanding, too!
Seriously, there'd be a lot less messed up kids if their parents interacted with them like this, instead of believing the "omg D&D makes u kill ur friends and is teh devil!!!" garbage.
To all the "christians" on this board: D&D is sick and twisted because it involves fantasy? Then what do you call YOUR book? Non-fiction? If the D20 starts rolling by itself, I'll call you.
It's a game around IMAGINATION!!! Something I terribly miss now. All I see are kids going, NEE-EH-EH-EH, THATS MY MACHINE GUN, YOU ARE DEAD. Seriously it was so much better when it was SWOOSH, THATS MY SWORD, YOU ARE DEAD!!!
That book is the 3.5 version of the Monster Manual I believe...
You are entitled to your opinions.
Some people believe that Chess is an idiotic game. Some believe that gambling is idiotic.
Personally I trhink to each their own. As much as people Veg in front of a PS3, I think DND is much more fun and profoundly better for a growing mind as it teaches them to think, read and doesnt make kids hyper and ADHD fiends. ;)
This is really great to see actualy. I have two daughters myself and I am a dm. While they are still too young to play the game I look foward to sharing the world of fanasy with them. It is good to see other families sharing the fun.
I agree. I played ADnD for years, except during my marriage. hehe... After the Divorce I started 4th edition just to check it out. It's nice to see family playing together. DND gets kids to think, to plan strategy, and to read. I see nothing wrong with it. I know plenty of gamer girls who hold nice jobs, so it's not going to cause their lives to go to hell. If anything they might marry someone smart and share an interest with a geek with a good job.
A family that plays together, stays together. My ex was a golfer and constantly horded that i'd never be as good as her. She didnt play well with others. I was a Putt Putt masta though! ;)
I look forward to teaching my kids and my BFF, old DND buddy, his wife, my current GRF and all of our kids are liekly to be DND buffs. Should be for a very good casual fun. We play Monopoly (indiana jones version) and other board games as well. Strategy makes the mind grow.
Wanda4DecentValues i wouldnt talk smack about a game when your own religion is responsible for the deaths of 50 million people over the last 800 years. hitler killed what, 5M, 6M jews? that makes christianity 10x worse than Hitler. if thats not enough to sway your opinion, what about all the rape of alter boys? why dont you just shut the fuck up and mind your own business, these kids won't hurt a soul, whereas every nutjob mass murderer out there says 'god spoke to me and told me to do it.'
Your Dads a great DM ... I wish I could play games at your house ... but I live in New Zealand :( You should give call of Cthulhu a try too ... It's awesome!
So awsome!!! My parents kinda freaked out back when I first started playing D&D (church-going folks mislead by chic propaganda) Took me forever to convince them it was harmless fun. Been trying to get my Dad to game for years, no luck yet - But someday!
I confiscated my son's Dungeons and Dragons book because I was appalled at all the Satanic and anti Christian imagery these books convey! After showing the book to my pastor, he agreed that these books are very, very dangerous for our children. With the help of other concerned parents at our church, we are beginning a campaign to get rid of these books from the local libraries in our town, so that no innicent children can be exposed to such Satanic filth.
What!? Are you really letting your religion blind you to the point where you'll restrict the imaginations of your children!? You make me sick. By the way, D&D has been around for way too long for you to get it out of libraries with your religious nonsense. Don't you think this has been tried before? 666 motherfucker. Embrace the number of the beast! 666!!!
You, sir or ma'am, have clearly never played or even read the books. Your pastor is clearly back in the middle ages, and has no concept of what a GAME is.
The game is as harmless as playing board games,. and it encourages your child to use their imagination. I'm glad I had a good mother that allowed me to play it. I wouldn't have turned out nearly as creative if I was stunted by a god-fearing and closed-minded parent.
I hope you grow past this and realize that it's only a game.
im going to start DnD with my friends and im a christian i also play MTG its amazing to see how ignorant some of us can be but most of them are open to new ideas. Usually its the ones that dont understand something and they freak out and attack it. That happens with everything unfortunatly.
Why would you even mention that you're a Christian? Uh, religion doesn't play a role in this game, not earthen religion. I'm a Christian, but really, why would that matter? It's not a devil-game or whatever your parents or any ignorant adult might call it.
@Wanda4DecentValues Guess what, D&D also teaches/encourages you to make choices and think for yourself. Add that to the list of reasons why you think it should be banned. As a former member of the hypocrites and something I will never go back to, I know perfectly well just how much people like you want to get rid of D&D. I say rescue yourself from the lies instead.
Whoo, fun. A friend of mine is starting a new 3.5 campaign tonight, I'm playing a Swashbuckler/Fighter/Dervish. Well... eventually. We're starting 5th level, I'm currently Swashbuckler 3 / Fighter 2. Next level I start my Dervish-ness! Yaya!
Is all you need the books??? Because i found a basic set thing on borders and im not really sure if i should get it, as it is $50! Can i just get the books only and play?
Yes. D&D is a "pen and paper" role-playing game - which means that, fundamentally, all you need are character sheets (which you can copy from the back of the book, or find PDFs of online) and the three core books: Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual.
Some players like to have a grid board and pieces to give a visual as to what's going on, but that is completely optional.
That was pretty cool. I am currently teaching my two oldest how to play. Unfortunately for me, that means learning 4.0. I started playing 1 and ADND and a little of 2. The first session I ran with them was a disaster. 4.0 is a little too klunky for me so I may go back to the old ways. After all, I still have all of my old books.
@godoffear666 Definitely get out the old books! I bought 4e without realizing it was a base for selling miniatures and such, nevermind cookie-cutter and all the other issues. Being as I know 3.5 I'm sticking with that... and since I hackjob DM occasionally, the only thing 4e is gonna do is sit on the shelf and give me bonus material for house-rules spells and whatnot.
My group uses the old 2nd Edition and it works fine; the DM just makes up the rules that are missing on the fly using logic; D&D is D&D regardless of which edition you use; the key is teamwork in overcoming the obstacles and mistakes (and bad dice rolls) to accomplish your quest or mission.
i have been playing D&D for 5 yrs now and my husband is my dm, when i have kids they will be playing it, we already get our friends little boy who is 3 to roll the dice for the bad guys he loves it,
I very much plan on playing D&D with my children...when my wife and I get a few. Trust me dude, your sons-in-laws will love that you taught your girls to play games! I'm so thankful that my wife plays D&D with me.
Looks like the girl to the right is playing a hafling archer with twin strike... Is hunter's quarry in effect? I never saw here roll a d8, though I probably couldn't tell anyway... Wish my dad was cool enough to introduce me to DnD...This woulda been my childhood (sighhh)
lol 4.0 is way better i play it now, but one of the girls shoudl consider getting a barbarian, lath touched (makes you chaotic evil, worship the spider queen but gives you +6 str. and +6 con) and the other one a healer so the barbarian gets fixed well :)....
im playing 4.0 now, on 3.5 system i always picked a half orc barbarian with the lath touched template.
those things are strong, u can beat everything with that, ooh and about the 1 level reduction, on the 3.5 system you can remove 1 level reduction for free ad 3rd level, and ad 6th level you can remove another level reduction soa d 6th level pick a forest ogre, with lath touched, they are unbeatable.. almost..
Well, with the group now, we've got a cleric, barbarian, fighter, ranger, and rogue, ranging from 5th to 8th lvl. It's pretty damn good group :) Our barbarian killed a man with one hit. A couple times.
if your dad thinks lath touched is getting to strong you gotta tell him there's a dungeon masters trick for that, when you ahve the lath touched template you have to obey the spider queen so he can make her summon you and do whatever she tells you.
and off course you have to stay in the chaotic evil character.
My dad hasn't actually played 4.0 yet; we're planning on introducing it to him in the summer (there's a twist, the kids showing the parents the ropes). I don't think our barbarian knows about lath touch. I'll have to pass on the tip
i just play 3.5 without all of the bogus extra books or classes, like the stupid psion...just stick with the base classes and rulebooks, and its a good game...stupid world of warcraft players whine that their characters cant do everything in the world and hence the 4th edition was born...stick to 3.5
Well, do you want tactical board game or a roleplaying game ? 3.5 is a roleplaying game, and a sweet one while 4th is more a board game were everything is about tactical combat.
From what I heard 2 was a little "too" complicated. And a bit unbalanced. I've heard horror stories about how psions were just rediculous. I got into 3.0-3.5, really liked it. Like Nolle said... 3.5's actually a role playing game. 4.0 is just a board game. From what I've seen so far, all the classes are more or less interchangeable... they have limited attacks that you just rinse and repeat. Very little out-of-battle function.
(1 had a good set of books) (2 had the most books thus far) (3 was short, because they went 3.5, which has 2nd most books ever and is fairly simple and well balanced.) (4 is an MMORPG masking itself as a pen and paper RPG, wheres the pen and paper?)
Only at the lowest levels, 1-3, are the classes similar to one another. As you progress through the levels, everyone's build diverges in different directions, as more and more options become available to you.
The roleplaying element of 4th Edition is the same as it's always been; on the player's and DM's perogative. The degree and quality of your roleplaying experience will depend on the DM's power to craft a story and the player's willingness to interact with it. Just as always.
I like 4th edition, its easy to roleplay as long as you have a DM who's not a rules nazi and willing to make up stuff on the fly. Plus you don't get ridiculous attacks of opportunity on you for approaching an enemy.
Help! I can't remember how to play D&D, I was a player not the DM. I now have kids of my own, they found my old miniatures. I bought the new starter set, but it doesn't help much to get going - how do you move, star an encounter, make hits / damage and move on. Are there any vids covering a simple example battle / encounter??
well, to begin, first try to think out a story line, either that or one of those quest books for levels ? - ?. And, i watch my dad when he dm's, what he does is he usually rolls, and what he rolls will usually spawn a certain monster, depending on the area, and when you kill him, he rolls for gold, platinum, or magic items etc. also, if you want you can just randomly get monsters to encounter them.
Awesome video. Im 13 and i just purchased the 4th edition, adventurers vault, and the purchased adventure keep on the shadowfell (1st-3rd lvl) so i could start playing D&D. well now like i just had a friend over at my house and we played like 3 encounters and my family and him are totally into it and were planning weekly sessions! that just goes to show u any1 can play D&D
Wow, this is great, what a cool dad. I want to be like him when I have my own kid, very open-minded. I gave thumbs up to 468416772137 comment, I wish the same.
my bro and sis and a couple of our friends would roll play since I was like 8 I am now 23 and most of my friends can't believe that my family is so close we would play together every week
Dad rules, really this is a great video im glad you posted it. There are some frightening people who play the game but the stereotype of players is retarded. Ive never met a girl that played the game but I live in canada, land of insecurity. You 3 are my heroes /bravo!
DnD is not for losers, while some people get ridiculously carried away in the game it doesnt speak for everyone. Where did you pick up the cool props!
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that their some sort of model game, such as Warhammer or the like. And its not too hard to make scenery for the same stuff. My gaming group uses our models from various armies to represent everything we could ever need in a game, and make our own terrain for encounters based off tips from people at places like games workshop stores and our other local hobby shops
My freinds aren't really into dnd save two but we ont really ever play. My ucle however, set up a game for me , a freind and my aunty awhile agho and for anyone who wonders why people do thiss. It's crazy fun!
This video is great. I'm 24 now, but back in the day my younger brother and I roleplayed Star Wars with my step dad. It was crazy fun!!! I am trying to get a good campaign together with the Fudge system (since it's easy) to teach my wife and see if she might like it. When you were making sound effects it reminded me of my stepdad when we played...this video is heartfelt and i hope noone ever puts your fire out for being who you are. =D Cheers!
Thanks to the person who posted this. I'm about to start my first ongoing campaign tomorrow and (having just learned), I'm fairly nervous. But this doesn't look as intimidating as I'd anticipated. It's nice to know that other girls play too. Thank you!
Girls that play D&D=Awesome...Girls who play D&D with their Dad=Awesomer! Keep passing this tradition on! :)

By the way, D&D has been around for way too long for you to get it out of libraries with your religious nonsense. Don't you think this has been tried before? 666 motherfucker. Embrace the number of the beast! 666!!!

You, sir or ma'am, have clearly never played or even read the books. Your pastor is clearly back in the middle ages, and has no concept of what a GAME is.
The game is as harmless as playing board games,. and it encourages your child to use their imagination. I'm glad I had a good mother that allowed me to play it. I wouldn't have turned out nearly as creative if I was stunted by a god-fearing and closed-minded parent.
I hope you grow past this and realize that it's only a game.

im going to start DnD with my friends and im a christian i also play MTG its amazing to see how ignorant some of us can be but most of them are open to new ideas. Usually its the ones that dont understand something and they freak out and attack it. That happens with everything unfortunatly.
numba1netsfan 2 years ago
Why would you even mention that you're a Christian? Uh, religion doesn't play a role in this game, not earthen religion. I'm a Christian, but really, why would that matter? It's not a devil-game or whatever your parents or any ignorant adult might call it.
XxStavrosxX 2 years ago 2
@Wanda4DecentValues Guess what, D&D also teaches/encourages you to make choices and think for yourself. Add that to the list of reasons why you think it should be banned. As a former member of the hypocrites and something I will never go back to, I know perfectly well just how much people like you want to get rid of D&D. I say rescue yourself from the lies instead.
I only wish I'd started playing sooner.

Is all you need the books??? Because i found a basic set thing on borders and im not really sure if i should get it, as it is $50! Can i just get the books only and play?
Jarnuman 2 years ago
Yes. D&D is a "pen and paper" role-playing game - which means that, fundamentally, all you need are character sheets (which you can copy from the back of the book, or find PDFs of online) and the three core books: Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual.
Some players like to have a grid board and pieces to give a visual as to what's going on, but that is completely optional.

That was pretty cool. I am currently teaching my two oldest how to play. Unfortunately for me, that means learning 4.0. I started playing 1 and ADND and a little of 2. The first session I ran with them was a disaster. 4.0 is a little too klunky for me so I may go back to the old ways. After all, I still have all of my old books.
godoffear666 2 years ago
@godoffear666 Definitely get out the old books! I bought 4e without realizing it was a base for selling miniatures and such, nevermind cookie-cutter and all the other issues. Being as I know 3.5 I'm sticking with that... and since I hackjob DM occasionally, the only thing 4e is gonna do is sit on the shelf and give me bonus material for house-rules spells and whatnot.
tirsden 2 years ago
My group uses the old 2nd Edition and it works fine; the DM just makes up the rules that are missing on the fly using logic; D&D is D&D regardless of which edition you use; the key is teamwork in overcoming the obstacles and mistakes (and bad dice rolls) to accomplish your quest or mission.

except 4th edition. Which is basically magic the gathering meets a watered down D&D card game.

Girl to the right is playing a halfling rouge; this was on the 3.5 system. And it's debatable whether she hit; d20s never work in her favour :)
JanissaryRevolt 2 years ago
lol 4.0 is way better i play it now, but one of the girls shoudl consider getting a barbarian, lath touched (makes you chaotic evil, worship the spider queen but gives you +6 str. and +6 con) and the other one a healer so the barbarian gets fixed well :)....
mwahisgoed 2 years ago
im playing 4.0 now, on 3.5 system i always picked a half orc barbarian with the lath touched template.
those things are strong, u can beat everything with that, ooh and about the 1 level reduction, on the 3.5 system you can remove 1 level reduction for free ad 3rd level, and ad 6th level you can remove another level reduction soa d 6th level pick a forest ogre, with lath touched, they are unbeatable.. almost..
mwahisgoed 2 years ago
Well, with the group now, we've got a cleric, barbarian, fighter, ranger, and rogue, ranging from 5th to 8th lvl. It's pretty damn good group :) Our barbarian killed a man with one hit. A couple times.
JanissaryRevolt 2 years ago
4.0 has got a nice system.
if your dad thinks lath touched is getting to strong you gotta tell him there's a dungeon masters trick for that, when you ahve the lath touched template you have to obey the spider queen so he can make her summon you and do whatever she tells you.
and off course you have to stay in the chaotic evil character.
mwahisgoed 2 years ago
My dad hasn't actually played 4.0 yet; we're planning on introducing it to him in the summer (there's a twist, the kids showing the parents the ropes). I don't think our barbarian knows about lath touch. I'll have to pass on the tip

Well, do you want tactical board game or a roleplaying game ? 3.5 is a roleplaying game, and a sweet one while 4th is more a board game were everything is about tactical combat.

Zithra 2 years ago
From what I heard 2 was a little "too" complicated. And a bit unbalanced. I've heard horror stories about how psions were just rediculous. I got into 3.0-3.5, really liked it. Like Nolle said... 3.5's actually a role playing game. 4.0 is just a board game. From what I've seen so far, all the classes are more or less interchangeable... they have limited attacks that you just rinse and repeat. Very little out-of-battle function.
dasgregorian 2 years ago
(1 had a good set of books) (2 had the most books thus far) (3 was short, because they went 3.5, which has 2nd most books ever and is fairly simple and well balanced.) (4 is an MMORPG masking itself as a pen and paper RPG, wheres the pen and paper?)
Mathadar 2 years ago
Only at the lowest levels, 1-3, are the classes similar to one another. As you progress through the levels, everyone's build diverges in different directions, as more and more options become available to you.
The roleplaying element of 4th Edition is the same as it's always been; on the player's and DM's perogative. The degree and quality of your roleplaying experience will depend on the DM's power to craft a story and the player's willingness to interact with it. Just as always.
Decepticonx7 2 years ago
I like 4th edition, its easy to roleplay as long as you have a DM who's not a rules nazi and willing to make up stuff on the fly. Plus you don't get ridiculous attacks of opportunity on you for approaching an enemy.

Help! I can't remember how to play D&D, I was a player not the DM. I now have kids of my own, they found my old miniatures. I bought the new starter set, but it doesn't help much to get going - how do you move, star an encounter, make hits / damage and move on. Are there any vids covering a simple example battle / encounter??
I'd really like to play with the kids
Thanks to any aid
kep67 2 years ago
well, to begin, first try to think out a story line, either that or one of those quest books for levels ? - ?. And, i watch my dad when he dm's, what he does is he usually rolls, and what he rolls will usually spawn a certain monster, depending on the area, and when you kill him, he rolls for gold, platinum, or magic items etc. also, if you want you can just randomly get monsters to encounter them.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that their some sort of model game, such as Warhammer or the like. And its not too hard to make scenery for the same stuff. My gaming group uses our models from various armies to represent everything we could ever need in a game, and make our own terrain for encounters based off tips from people at places like games workshop stores and our other local hobby shops
