How to Play Dungeons & Dragons : Dungeons & Dragons Books

[brandtp23]

I like your description of the game, however basic it may be. I think a lot of people would benefit from your descriptions. I don't like how you are skimming over a lot of things and using books from several editions. You use the 2nd edition players handbook and the third edition dungeon masters guide. The books seen in this video would not be used together in one game. You can't use any edition players handbook with any edition monster manual and so forth.

[boogerguy2]

i'm getting the forth edition starter kit; does that come with the handbooks, guides and bells and whistles? I need to have the players handbooks and guides to start playing right?

[FunctionOfN]

@boogerguy2 if it still matters, the only thing you *Need* to play is a Player's Handbook.

If you're new to DnD, I recommend buying at least 2 player's handbooks (one for the players one for you), a Dungeon Master's Guide, a Monster Manual, and a pre-made quest

[MrToystory2000]

i've got the players hand book the he shows at the start of the video

[TheMaddDancer]

id like to try to start playing :)

[iloveasianwomen1980]

@TheHunterspy Id play D&D with you B/C I DON'T HAVE ANY ONE ONE TO PLAY THE GAME WITH EITHER!. :)

[gipanze1]

lol ive always wanted to play this, and ive been trying for years. but i have noone to play it with because im scared people will find out that i play it XD

[ninjanick1010]

i can totally relate to that fellow dungeon master

[111random]

I hate people who think this game is for nerds because they have never played it

[rhenn11]

@111random: I so totally agree with you

[assassian451]

@111random that is so true

[BlackRazor54]

WTH dude, you have a 2e PHB, a 2e MM & a 3e DMG, what couldn't find an old 2e DMG on ebay for $3.00?

[MIkeslife11]

Wow.... He's managing to make every single stereotype about this game seem true...

[endersgame55]

@MIkeslife11 That's so not true. For example, he's skinny. And he's....um, thin.

[Admiralandrian]

@endersgame55 Don't forget to mention the wedding band

... and his conversation to SATANISM!

[Dogbuggery]

I wonder if there's a guide that tells you how to develop a personality?...............Cmo­n he doesn't really sell the game to me here :S

[VicRules666]

EPIC FAIL

[Diabolik771]

You gotta get the old AD&D books with Demons and Devils in it. Go Old school like it was meant to be.

[Guitarzan6969]

adnd is a joke

[dungeonsable]

ur books are ancient it seems like its been a while sence i seen those i moved to 3.5 and stayed it helps but now try to get a more recent

[xClosetEmox]

why the hell would you need a guide for your type of character? It doesn't matter what class you are, you run around, roll a dice, kill some things. There is no specific 'strategy' unless you are useing some skill that comes with your character. It isn't like you can have one member flank from one side while the rest go in through the front door.

[NuggetsOfRivendell]

i wanna get 2.0

[64Peder]

Btw i think he is winding us up!

He has to... plz say u do!!?

[64Peder]

4th ed is the best D&D system!

[highpriestrsw2]

@64Peder I did dislike 4E at first but after giving it a good couple sessions I find that my complaints were all based on how different it is in implementation from 3E and not being a big 3E fan 4E has finally won me over. It started to grow on me because it is a little bit easier to run and prep for games using the new system. I recommend Fiery Dragon counters and/or Precise Intermedia's disposable heroes cardboard 2D miniatures and a chessex battlemat to set up encounters.

[DarckTheCat]

The Chessex battle map is amazing.

[64Peder]

Eeh why is he showing books from the last century?

4th ed is up, heya!!

[ElHobbit9]

4th edition is atrocious!!

[psychoticbuzzsaw]

If he wants to help newcomers then he should´nt use books from amix of editions.

[Stupidgut6]

i bet he has a script and knows NOTHING on dnd

[Moogaar1]

4.0 isn't "real" D&D. pick up Pathfinder...you'll see what I mean.

[Quathan]

I really don't see why they consider this a video that is classified as an "expertvillage" video. Just because someone has a collection of 100+ books (collections mean nothing, anyone can buy a hundred books -- few can read them all), and just because he ran a 10 year long campaign doesn't mean someone who hasn't done all that can figure all these "How to play D&D" segments out without even watching them.

Anyone with basic knowledge on the game can figure this stuff out -- no "expert" needed.

[benpap92]

i totally agree, he just wants to get paid from expert village

[Futil3]

LOVE how his voice cracks every 2 seconds. haha makes my day.

[lukekelly76]

Jeez this guys having dreams about murder. Cheer up. You give geeks a bit name.lol

[zignotea]

woooooooow that is one huge rule book

[rhygarmacros]

i have been playing off and on for awhile i usually played 4th edition but now im in a group playing 2nd edition i was a lil confused on 2nd edition but once you make your charecter it gets alot smoother

[UncleRick94]

you can if you want to,

but he's only trying to help new people to the game.

[patheice]

omg the first book isnt half daunting lolz. cuz im gonna take this up lol

[makai1337]

its all about 3.0 and 3.5

4.0 is watered down for WOW gamers.

[grayspar]

WoW Nigger. Your Name Says alot About You.

[bathlarper]

Is it just me or is the 'player guide' he puts on the table actually the 3rd edition warhammer 40'000 rulebook?

[dndmatt]

im pretty sure if you are talking about the first one it's ad&d 2e...but i may be mistaken

[IamMullet]

i can see what your saying they look similar plus the angle doesnt help but its not

[joltzkrieg]

no, either get some glasses or stop being a douchbag

[marceloyanez111]

Which version is the best version of D&D?

[vorgralax]

Castles & Crusades (C&C)

[kooldudeman12]

it just depends on wat u think. but think the 4th edtion is

[shagoosty]

You should check all of them out. I'm personally a huge fan of 4th edition but I'd play a 2nd edition game if I could find someone to play with.

[yamimakaiz]

i LOVE the monster manual

it's my kind of book :)

[thshinning]

Question: I just bought the 4e player's book and is not that easy to read. Unfortunately the book doesn't hava a glossary and I'm having problem with acronyms. What does "AC" stands for? And what does [W]stands for ( it normally reads "hit:1[W] + strenght".

thanks.

[WazzizFace]

I know AC is armour class.

[cho0onger456]

AC stands for armor class. That's all I know (from older editions)

I haven'y picked up a 4th edition players handbook yet

[thshinning]

Thanks both! I just finish reading the player's book and finnally discovered thet [W] is for the damage you deal with your weapon.

[Alloxic]

I gotta ask... since you own it. Do you NEED to use a computer to play 4e? All that insider crap is pissing me off :P

[thshinning]

Not really, I also think is just crap, went through insider but couldn't find anything useful. Actually I'm kinda a beginner, I used to play 3E but just for a couple of months, and found out that 4E got a bit complicated. I'm just using what I thinkg will make my game easier and funnier, I like old school.

[suppish21]

will save
