I'm a DM. I start playing 1st edition when i was 16. I loved 3.5. Now i'm 37 and I'm finishing a massive campaing in 3.5 (yes not 4th; i have the books but my players prefer the "old" 3.5).

Anyhow, with the exception of Chris Perkins (really, look for him in you tube: he's great DM) YOU are the best DM I've ever saw.

I will continue to follow you and I'm very interested in what do you think about the 4th edition.

With Respect

@Eldanoth I am so honored, Chris Perkins is one of my heroes/role-models!

[jewamen]

How do get in a play test?

[repsesper]

@jewamen You can sign up for it on Wizards of the Coast's D&D website.

[tdlob1]

How did you make your dice do that? :O

[repsesper]

@tdlob1 Just spin it like a top.

DAMNITT!!!!!!!!! D&D BOOKS ARE SO EXPENSIVE



[Ninjazombie42]

If new iterations come too often, the gamers will lose a sense of stability and firm ground to place the gaming table on. For most people this is a hobby, not a job.

I am not willing to spend a lot of money on 5 e, if 6e is just around the corner after that.

So if the new iteration won`t be out in a another three years or so, I guess it`s all good. If not, I`ll look into other systems.

Anyone know when they think it will be relased? I am still poor after investing all too much on 4e books.

Love your vids! Hey, are you into any kind of heavy music? You totally look like a metalhead!

[TOMNOTSOCRUIS]

@repsesper you said that you are working on a top secret project of your own. If it is a pen and paper game, I will donate as much money as I can to see it published :D

And for God's sake man, either make another monster video(those are amazing) or maybe make a video in which you will tell us the story of your longest campaing. I simply love long and detailed campaigns and I would enjoy a video about yours :D

How young do you think the youngest d&d player is?

[TexasDungeonMaster]

I have spent alot of money on both 3rd and 4th editions, but am looking forward to 5th edition. 5th edition seems to have plenty of potential.

[AarlaShey]

I am very exited for this edition! But despite that, I'd really like to hear what you thought of 4e.

[XxSpiderzxweBxX]

Its a sad irony that a socially based hobby comprised of hobbyists with vast experience socializing because of the nature of said hobby, are such a social mess. The biggest hurdle before WotC is bringing together the narrowly opinionated masses that make up the D&d fan-base. I honestly believe that WE are the largest reason why our hobby isn't more successful.

[BIGPIXELNOOB]

will you do a review of the playtest just to give a basic idea of what it involves and your thoughts on it thus far ?

[LifegrindX]

I'm a bit bummed, but I have all the D&D 4E books I'll ever need and I'm curious to see where the next edition takes it.
