 All right, we're halfway there So six classes down first off I wanted to thank everyone who joined in to the series and subscribed to the channel all the new people I think my subscriber count has more than doubled since I Started the crap guide to D&D series. Thank you for that But just so I don't burn myself out in the same way that I did with the monster hunter crap guides I'm gonna take a little bit of a break and that's what this video is about because I am currently in school in university, you know during the when I made the monster hunter crap guides I was out of school. I had all the free time in the world But right now I have quite a few things on my plate and also I am creatively bankrupt I Think that if I kept at the videos without any breaks Then they would dip in quality for sure because these these crap guides are a very very different and a little bit more difficult to Write for than the monster hunter crap guides. So as a little intermission I'm going to take a few weeks off of making the D&D crap guides. I'll return with the ranger video eventually maybe some time in mid-February or something like that but in the meantime, let's answer some questions that I Want to do a little Q&A because that's fun the footage in the background. You will see me drawing one of my first characters like my first actually made character for D&D and he is basically myself insert my my Darkness dementia Ravenway, if you will his name is Victor quiddles also known as rat as his nickname that he goes by He is a half-elf barred and he is currently going through a rewrite and redesign because his original design As a half-elf rogue and backstory was just all messed up And I didn't know what I was doing because it was my first character even now like his design I'm just not so sure with it He's got like a collar thing that goes up to his mouth kind of similar to Gadiel the Cleric who is another character that I'm going to be playing in a different campaign I don't know why I guess I just gravitate towards those high-collar mouth cover things I don't know looks cute to me before I go through all the hundreds of questions Some frequently asked ones first. Will you be making a crap guide to DMing races and Unearthed arcana classes. Yes. Yes, and no So I guess this is technically not the halfway point because I'll be making two more videos one on races because I think The races aren't that deep That I can cover multiple races in one video and also DMing is such an important part that you got to make a video about it So technically the ranger video should have been that way point But I won't be making any videos on the unearthed arcana classes. So no Artificer no bloodhunter no mystic None of that stuff because I don't think it's really that relevant to The general player base and also because I have no exp I am not familiar with them at all So sorry to disappoint anyone who is looking forward to that What is the avatar that you use in the videos a lot of you don't know that I Previous to the D&D crap guides I made a crap guide to monster hunter and that is the wiggler helmet and I thought it was hilarious And that's what I used and that's why it's still here because that's just part of the character now Are the characters in your D&D crap guides the friends you play with or are they your ocs? I guess they're all technically ocs Aside from gadiel the cleric who is a player character that I'm going to play in A future campaign coming up run by eric of the hijack crew whenever that'll be who knows But uh, no the rest of them. They're all made original for the series. So, uh, somebody else asked that if they have like Uh, personalities or characters or backstories. No, I just kind of made them purely for the series with just the barest Plainest most obvious personality trait to give them for uh, all of the videos But it is pretty nice to see People taking that into their own making fan art and stuff which I really appreciate people have been drawing fan art It's Super cool. It is super awesome. What made you want to make dnd crap guides? How long does it take you to make them? Do you find it easier or more fun than the monster hunter weapons? It's definitely different. I would say it's more difficult Uh, for several factors firstly, I can't just go out and Play A monk when I feel like it not like with monster hunter where I can just pick up the charge blade if I feel like and just play it dnd requires more setup And there's a lot more factors involved with playing a class in dnd Just because you can play it in so many different ways because it's it's not tied down by its rules And that's why these videos vary and how long they take the bard video took two days To both write and to make partly because I was The most motivated I think at that point because it was the beginning of the series And also because I have plenty of experience with bard being my favorite class if you couldn't tell So writing jokes for it and trying to also weave in what it's like to play bard was really easy because I had a lot of experience That's why monk took a long time because I knew nothing about monk and I still don't feel like I know a lot about monk So it took more than a week and also because I have creation fatigue any good dnd stories Everybody typically has at least one and they're usually super interesting. Yeah Funnily enough. No, not really not that I can think of a great moment But it was somewhat planned by the dm But yeah, I don't have as much experience with dnd as you would think I've been playing for I would say three almost four years But the times that I have played are few and far between like I've only ever finished one campaign And it was a campaign that I ran. Yeah, if I can think of one, I don't know I might make a dnd story about it might not who knows no promises Why do you think people like your style of videos? And is there something new you'd wish you'd try on the channel? Yeah, I Feel like I've got a good formula going. I had a good feeling that people would like the monster hunter crap guides Just because people like funny stuff people like short stuff. Yeah, people like hyperbole and exaggeration and jokes I do want to do more stuff, but I'll talk about that later I'm just happy that people appreciate what I do right now How did you get so cute by tricking people into thinking that I am? How does one get their dm to stop delaying the game every week? Either you talk to them or you find another additional dm to play Sometimes things come up and maybe you talk to them and maybe there's not much that they can do about it I wouldn't say drop them, but if you really are itching to play Uh, there's nothing wrong with finding another dm to play a different game What software do you use to make your art and videos to draw? I use paint tool sigh and to edit I use adobe premiere pro Have you guys ever thought about doing a hijack dnd campaign for the channel? Yes, actually That's something that we've always wanted to do. Uh, just like the channel itself for those of you who don't know I am part of a group channel called hijack, which you can go Subscribe to right over there where me and my friends just do random stuff together Including playing games making videos about how we do our art And we have been in the talks of once we start another campaign about recording it and maybe posting it online What art training have you had? I have been drawing since I could pick up a pencil and I've taken several art classes throughout my School years from kindergarten all the way up to graduating high school And now I am maturing in graphic design while doing illustrations on the side What's your favorite race and class to play in dnd? Which editions have you played? Have you dipped your toes into any other tabletop role-playing games? Uh, as I said before my favorite class is bard. I don't think I really have one favorite race I just kind of gravitate towards several. I guess design-wise It's a tie between half orcs and tieflings because I just personally, uh, like them aesthetically But to play I've just kind of played all of them pretty equally as for experience with dnd I've only played fifth edition. I have played star finder a little bit, but aside from that I don't have the biggest repertoire of Stuff that I've played in terms in terms of tabletop. What's my favorite subclass the bardic college of swords Can we get a set tour? It looks like this What initially got you into trying dnd? Well a lot like a lot of people I got a kind of passing knowledge of dnd for the longest time My freshman year of college towards the end of the year me and three of the hijacked members that all went to the same college We're walking along a hiking trail and we were just talking about Uh, what our fantasy character would be like because we're a bunch of nerds and we like fantasy stuff And you know, we were in the talks and um, ian Was the only one with a real Experience with dnd. I had played kind of really stripped down homebrew Versions with like who couldn't even really count as dnd and I didn't make my own character and I didn't know what was going on So I I wouldn't count myself as someone who knew what dnd was even after playing A style of it, but ian was like, yeah, I've played I've allegedly played dnd. I can uh, I can DM you guys I can DM all of us So we rolled characters and uh, we got really into it and the rest of his history So this one's asking about great stories But it also asks about a favorite character and I'm going to use this opportunity to mention Storrig, the half-orc bard that made me realize bard is my favorite class I love discovering characters and I love role playing as someone who's not just an idealized version of myself Because Storrig is he he's a real meek and and very kind and and timid and he always calls everyone by Mich or mister before their name and he's just uh, he's my favorite character because he's such a sweetie He everyone gets their turn before for he does he wants to open up a theater He wants to play violin the violin that he was passed down from his mother He's just a sweet guy who just wants to help everyone He wants to stop the bullies stop the bad guys and just just do the best that he can And I love him. How long have you been animating? I wouldn't really call myself an animator per se because I don't do it on the regular, but I guess I Have dabbled in it ever since I was a little kid like 11 12 13 Just kind of doing you know flip notes and pivot if anybody remembers stick figure animations I liked to use the flip note feature on the dsi Just kind of every every here and there, you know, I would I would animate in some way So I guess like 10 years I've dabbled in it But only recently have I actually like tried to implement the fundamentals and learn how to make good animation What was my first session of dnd like a mess? I I still remember it to this day It was the entirety of the hijack crew Thinking back on it We did so many things wrong and there's nothing there's nothing wrong with that I want to preface this by however you enjoy dnd As long as it aligns with the rest of your group that you're playing with there's nothing wrong with it But it is not the way that we play now. It is especially not how I play characters I had no idea the reason why rat is going through a rewrite is because I did not know what his character was back then And I was just like, oh, he's gonna be edgy. Oh, no, he's gonna be deep and sympathetic Oh, he's gonna be suave and expressive and theatrical I didn't I couldn't nail down like a Defining trait and I was just trying too much stuff because because I didn't know anything about character writing Or or playing how to be a good player in dnd Which is a skill set in its own It was a lot of getting to know the game and a lot of waiting and wait. Is that how that works? Oh, uh, what's a d12 and a lot of backseat DMing a lot of like, oh, I got this nat 20 You should have this happen. It's like just just Let the dm do his job. This one mentions about collaborating with puffin forest. I've had the pleasure uh talking with puffin forest and uh dingo doodles and a couple of other dnd youtubers and you know, if something comes up Yeah, that would be loads of fun. If they ever have something in mind, that'd be great And if they don't that's fine, too If it doesn't happen, it won't happen. If it does happen Well, then you'll probably see it somewhere either in the announcements or on the channel or whatever But I have been able to talk to them and they are just swell people all around super duper cool I love their videos. It is an amazing feeling to Talk with these people that um you followed Well, I didn't actually hear of dingo doodles before but I have heard of puffin forest I recognize this art style like that, but I do like all their stuff now. Who dat cutie tiefling? Her name is felicia. It's right there I am super happy that people have taken liking to my character designs though And I am super happy that the bard videos the most successful one because bards are the best What made you want to start making youtube videos? Well, like a lot of kids Growing up with youtube. I just kind of saw. Hey, that looks fun. That looks like fun Those people look like they're having a lot of fun making videos and also I've always kind of enjoyed entertaining people I was never the class clown, but uh, I I did like presenting not presenting like in class But I I liked anything that involved presentation things that I could make them flashy Although funnily enough. I was pretty good at presentation in school Even though I had the shakies every time I did it But yeah, I just like performing for people I never took a theater class, but I just like, you know entertainment and producing entertainment Making art for people to enjoy or just making stuff that I enjoy if people like it as well Then it's a big big bonus. I honestly don't think I could handle making Uh, so much of this stuff to this degree Purely for someone else with no enjoyment from me When will you admit the lance is the best weapon of monster hunter? Also, what really inspired the start to a crap guide to series crap guide was inspired by a lot of things really Just kind of satirical guides in general a lot of you may already know That zero punctuation and scott falco's a side of salt series are a big draw Also the arrogant nature of the crap guidesman character comes from Master chief from the arby and the chief series kind of drawing inspiration from him How he's like this elitist asshole who kind of puts people down and you know Believes that his opinion is the best one and also larry zowers basically final fantasy 14 classes series And I will never admit that the lance is the best weapon. It's pretty good, but it's no sword and shield What is my second favorite weapon in monster hunter world the light bow gun? What originally started your interest in drawing and animating and what advice would you give to those trying to do something similar? So I said before that I've been drawing as long as I can remember so nothing really inspired me to draw I just started drawing because as a kid you try everything, you know when you're a little toddler You do everything and then everything you do your parents are going to be like They're going to be a professional that when they grow up. So like if you kick a soccer ball They're going to be like, oh, they're going to be a sports person when they grow up It's like no, they're just you just try stuff when you're a kid And I guess I just stuck with doing art the biggest satisfaction I guess for me is sometimes whenever there's something that I want to exist But it doesn't yet. I have the ability to do that I have the ability to create whatever I want exactly to what I want it to be And that is the best feeling in the world is to have that ability That's why I like making all this stuff because it's like, oh man I really want this thing to exist, but it doesn't well then I'm gonna go do it My best advice is to just do it just if you want to draw or animate Just start doing it in any way that you can don't wait for an excuse of like, oh, I need this program Or I need this this drawing tablet like it helps it definitely helps But nothing should stop you from from doing it in any way you can I made an animated music video when I was like 14 And all I had was paint and windows movie maker and you're asking Oh, does that mean you had to like copy and paste and reorient the characters and draw them Like for every single frame of animation you bet I did so just keep doing it and never stop It's gonna take you a really really long time to get to where you're satisfied And even then once you reach that peak and you can look back down and get be like, yes I made it really far. Then there's gonna be another mountain to climb And and reach another peak you'll never fully be satisfied and that sounds kind of discouraging But it's true like because we're always improving you will never reach perfection And once you do reach one peak point where you're like, okay, I've started to plateau a little bit Then you start learning about the fundamentals taking a class reading some books Looking at some tutorials on youtube learning The rules and then that's when you can grow even more because yes, you can go fully self taught But I think it really helps to learn the actual rules that have been Established and set by the masters and the professionals It's like science, you know, if everyone had to invent their own telescope before they could explore the stars Then you know, we wouldn't be anywhere It's okay to piggyback off of other people's Discoveries and and rules and and things that they've learned and established over the years In fact, it is encouraged but yes Do it and keep doing it and don't stop You're gonna suck at the beginning and you're not gonna stop sucking for a long time But eventually It's gonna suck a little bit less. Will we see a continuation of overly edited dark souls? Yes on the hijack channel go watch any particular homebrew rules that you use often Just like some minor ones here and there like how certain spells work how padded armor doesn't give you disadvantage on stealth Yes, padded armor gives you disadvantage on stealth funnily enough I do like to homebrew magical items because I just like to make them really really interesting and Unique and not just plus one to this an example is an orb of spell slots where I actually don't remember what it was called Originally probably not that but I'm just gonna call it that from now on But basically what it did was you had you were able to store a spell any spell that you wanted from your Prepared spells list and it would get rid of all your spell slots in the level of that spell So let's say it was a Cure wounds, right? So that's a first level spell so you would lose all your first level spell slots Now you would store the spell in this orb and what you could do is you could cast that spell that you stored in there At any level you wanted you could use it once a day and whenever you rest it and regain spell slots The spell stored in the orb would reset it would get rid of the spell now. That's a little bit overpowered obviously I think I would have to do a little bit more balancing like Lose half of the rest of your spell slots or something like that That's just an example of the kind of magical items that I would make I would make them super broken and very Different like have their own mechanics to them another one was a sonic backpack So it was a dwarven backpack that you put on Whenever your health went below half it would emit a thunder wave like the spell thunder wave You know things like that things that are more than just adding stats to you I don't like using homebrew classes or races just because they're just Not tested and can so easily be imbalanced and also because like there's so many different combinations and possibilities of the Official races that Wizards of the Coast have released already that they can fit pretty much any archetype that you want anyway So like you know if you want to be like a samurai then they have a samurai archetype If you want to be a pirate No, then you could be a college of swords or you could use a rogue and go swashbuckler or something like that Which I guess just to go on a tangent some advice for new players Don't be completely set on trying to fill this This perfect image of the character you want to play like be be willing to compromise a little bit just to fit into the rule set And also to discover your character a little bit Matt Colville dungeon master and level designer for video games It has this fantastic series of videos Called running the game gives a philosophy that I agree with that You know, you should never be hard set on anything as a player or as a dm dnd is all about the compromise You know if you want to recreate your anime Superpower mecha warrior Look at the the rules that are available to you first before going to dnd homebrew wiki and finding the Mecha warrior class because odds are there's so much In the official rule books that you could cobble something together that fits pretty well and is balanced and tested How have I been tired ps4 or xbox? I'm not brand loyal. I'm there wherever the games are What's the next project you plan to tackle after a crap guided dnd? Well, I mentioned before that I want to make a long long form video Uh in the vein of the clonoa video on mystery dungeon, uh based on the votes winning I will still make other stuff and I'll make the reach video afterwards But yeah long form stuff like that just other videos like uh more overly edited and more I want to make music maybe do some animations. I don't know animated shorts Just a bunch of stuff Maybe the third season of crap guide could be other things as well like crap guide to pokemon types Or just non gaming stuff as well like crap guide to marvel heroes Maybe I don't know a lot of things I want to make these are not promises for any of those though How do I feel about min maxing? I feel as though that as long as it is in line with the group's philosophy on gaming at the table Then there's no issue. I don't give a goddamn how anybody plays the game so long as Everyone at the table is having fun and it doesn't deter anyone's fun If every if people at your table are okay with playing like critical role Then great if the people at your table make sure to not play like critical role then great Just remember dnd is not about comparisons How you play is going to be different from how anybody else plays and that's fine It's just important that everyone's having a good time because if you're not having a good time then the same goes Bad dnd is worse than no dnd because it can feel like a big waste of time So find a group that aligns with you and how you want to play and how they want to play If there are issues talk it out. Please do talk it out You'd be surprised how easy it is to to talk through these problems and come to an understanding And if it doesn't work out well then step away from the table find a different group No hard feelings. No one is better or worse for playing in a different way. I personally don't min max I am a player who enjoys a story and the role playing aspect and occasionally combat, but like, you know, whatever That's just how I play. How did you get your drawing style? practice iteration bitterness Resentment that it looks like somebody else's what is my favorite game of all time and what was the first game? I truly beat That's a tough one. I guess the first game I actually beat Was I don't know I've played games for so long that it's hard to think back Which one I did one game that stacks up against all the others in like Full package like all together is still got to be shadow of the colossus Like sure there are probably aspects of other games that I like more than certain aspects of shadow of the colossus And sure there might be games that I would prefer to play more than shadow of the colossus But just like as a symbol of gaming and as a piece of art It still holds up as one of my favorites hear me out crap guide to smash. Okay, so A lot of people have been asking for that and uh, I'd be lying if I didn't entice me a little bit And it would be easier to write for and capture for than crap guide to dnd because dnd I can't really find enough b-roll. It's hard because it's not a it's not a video game So I have to draw things each episode of crap guide has around a hundred drawings And also I can't just pick up and play a class like I can with a video game with smash I could the only problem is there's freaking 70 characters I would have to dedicate more than two months to that and and I don't know that I have it in me to do that Maybe in the future. Maybe I could lump them together, but right now it's not It's not in the works. It's not I don't have it planned crap guide to final fantasy 14 Larry's hour already pretty much made crap guides to them and also that would Also, I would have to level them up all to level 70 Kind of get to know them know the culture around the game and the in jokes and all that stuff And this is this is too much mmo's are too much, man If I could do anything with no constraints. I eat no need for money energy. Everything goes right What would I do and why I would? Make an animated feature length film or animated series of either some kind of fantasy like a dnd style sort of thing Which I know super original right But I just I've always wanted to do that or make a game Make my own rpg my own action rpg like a real time just like hack and slash with the best character creator and and just like awesome multiplayer features and just a big open world with Great customization and a transmog system so you could hunt for that fashion because every game that has customization Fashion is the endgame. It would have every weapon under the sun. It would have every just just everything It would have everything. It would be the best rpg The combat wouldn't make you want to jump into a well because it would play like a video game It would be well animated. It would have it would have a really beautiful art style And who knows maybe once I'm like 60 and I can get a team together Uh, I can make that game and finish it when I'm 70. Have I ever played transistor? Yes I love all the super giant games. I hope to play pyr one day because it looks super awesome I love their music. I love their art style. I love everything about them I am a super giant fan boy. What is my video slash creative process? I look up a few guides for the class that I'm writing for I kind of jot down Okay, all right, they do this thing. They have you know, these features. I try to make jokes out of it I look up some guides some actual guides like either there's one that's been very very helpful for me And it's also pretty pretty funny in his own right and that's uh davy chappy davy chappy Davy cappy davy davy chappy and he has been he makes like bite-sized videos that have really really been helpful I also watch don't stop thinking how to be a great game master slash player of you know, bacon battalion rpg Whatever they're called just look up matt mercer gm slash dm and you'll just find a ton of stuff So so I listen to those guides and then the most difficult and longest process of coming up with how to make it funny Having experience helps the reason why the bard video took so little time And why it's probably one of the stronger ones and a lot of the jokes resonate with people who play bard is because I play Bard a lot So I know how to write about a bard and that's why the original cleric video not the one that's Uh available right now the one that's unlisted was so bad and misinformed because I had no experience with cleric No proper experience with cleric. So, you know, you write what you know And I knew jack squat about that. That's why monk took so long is because I wanted to get it right I'd never played monk. I know so little about monk aside from the stereotypes but stereotypes does not a good video make because they might be wrong as Shown with the cleric video then I write it and then I proofread it. I make some changes Then I record it that one takes a little bit of time because I stumble over my words I have to talk fast. I have a stutter and just to get the right tone for for everything recording sessions can take Uh between six minutes to eight minutes to upwards to 15 I think was the longest one just trying to get the lines right and then the most tedious part is drawing The the different panels slash frames for what I'm talking about That part requires kind of a little bit of creativity And that's kind of when my brain starts to die and I just just throw in random references It's not necessarily hard, but making all these so many drawings It's satisfying when it's finished though And then of course I make any few changes and additions and additional recordings So you might notice some of the episodes have a change in my quality just because I thought of a better joke or I cut out a joke because it didn't work and then I watch it through and then if it looks good I upload it. How about a video on your honest opinion on dnd or monster hunter if you haven't already? I'll do that once the series is over because that's kind of what I did to with the crap guide to monster hunter I'll give my real thoughts on each class and aspect of playing the game once the series is over How have you been dealing with the sudden boost in popularity? Hope you're not too stressed out I was stressed out when I was at 10,000 subscribers Of course, obviously there are some expectations that come from me now that I have a big following People are going to want me to make more crap guides. People are going to want me to make more dnd stuff People are going to want me to make things that they came for in the first place and it has you know It is a little stressful and of course, uh, it does Kind of irk me a little bit that this is not the one thing that I want to Continually do with the channel forever and again, I'll talk about that later, but um, it is nice So it has so many people appreciate your work It means a lot and it's done great things for my self-esteem for sure and it has changed me It has definitely changed me like it's just natural for you to be a different person day to day as you grow and Change but I am a very very different person than I was Five months ago when I started the channel for better or for worse I guess we'll just have to find out but if I ever go down the evil route with my channel doing something like response videos Or starting drama or just not being cool You have full permission to come slap me every single one of you It has been nice kind of talking with and and learning about all these content creators that I've followed and appreciate And look up to like hearing of my work and that they like it, you know I I got to I got to talk with so many cool people as a result of this I've met so many cool people not just content creators. I made friends. I've made all these connections I've learned of so much It's a little bit of a shock actually somebody mentioned something else about uh home brews and one one There is one home brew that I always always like to use Personally, I I know other people they everyone plays different like I said before and it's okay to play different But one just to like reduce player conflict for me is I go with the rule of Player consent in that if one player wants to do something Conflicting with another player if that other player says no, you don't then it doesn't happen so like like if someone wants to steal from somebody else, uh, or like someone wants to hit someone else or like Uh, do a roll like I don't allow rolling against each other or anything like that unless both players are in agreement because um, I have played with some people where there was some conflict and drama in the past And I and you could tell that that they weren't doing it because they were trying to play in character or add to the story As much as they would argue that that's what my character grew Which is a cop out So I make the rule if I tried to steal from you and you don't want that to happen and you say no Then it doesn't happen I think that cuts down on a lot of drama at the table, but maybe you like that Like I said, everyone plays differently. I'm re-recording this just to be clear. I mean when two players Seal against each other I don't mean as in like stealing against an npc and them needing wanting to talk it out and like stopping each other from acting No, I mean like stealing from another player. Why sword and shield is good. Watch this video Which is copyrighted because music. Sorry. There's nothing I can do about the ads Am I open to doing commissions? And if so, what prices I'm not open right now But I am currently kind of developing my own website where you can see my commission prices and Stuff in my portfolio and I'll announce that when I guess when it's applicable when it's finished It is under construction and also I'd have to figure out how to funnel Everyone who would want to commission me. I don't think it's super arrogant to say that I'm gonna get be getting a lot of them if I open them up It would have to be when I'm very very free or I would have to limit it to like 10 at max Maybe even less than that. I'm scrolling through these Comments and these questions. There's so many questions asking. What's your favorite race? What's your favorite class? I mean, obviously you don't know, you know that the other comments have already asked it It's not your fault, but it's just kind of funny. What game franchises are you really invested in or rather? What series do you regularly enjoy? What sort of genres do you prefer? I really like shooters of any kind my favorite being the halo series and I did dabble in a little bit of Call of Duty I was a call of duty boy and I do really really like rpg specifically hack and slash I like anything that has a lot of customization I guess uh, my favorite series that I like to follow are halo, uh, pokemon the ratchet and clank series I really like the jack and daxter series saints row my favorite one being saints row two I also really like platformers Shovel knight being one of my favorites. I don't know. I just like a lot of games There's a lot of games that I like those are the quickest ones that come to mind I guess what type of person do you think d&d is best for I think Anyone can enjoy d&d Literally, I like I firmly believe If you have an imagination of any kind you will like d&d Because everyone likes to talk about hypotheticals, right with their friends like oh, what if we did this it's like Oh, that would be so funny in d&d You can I'll be it in your mind But you can do it and it is the closest form of it being real and actually doing it as you can So it doesn't matter if you're a dude, bro It doesn't matter if you're seven or seventy I firmly firmly believe everyone can get into d&d if they find the right group in the right campaign And just the right character or any any of those factors individually or together because we all like using our imagination And we all like being with our friends and hanging out well To different degrees even if you derive joy from ruining other people's fun You can play with a group and play in a campaign specifically made So that you could mess with each other because there's so many different ways to play It can suit literally anyone. How many youtube channels have you attempted to run in the past? Five have you heard of girlfriend reviews channel? I have they're one of my favorite new channels that I've discovered recently I am jealous that they are way funnier than I am. Oh, and that's all the questions that uh, I thought were worth answering and weren't Repeats of other questions. I did scroll through all 450 comments on that uh announcement So I hope that that was satisfactory as I said before though I'm going to be taking a little bit of a break just because school has given been a little bit hectic And uh, we're starting to really get into the thick of things I'm trying to establish my website and work on just other projects on top of this And also I need to recharge my creative batteries So crap guide to dnd will take a little bit of a hiatus just so I can rest in the meantime I'll be uploading uh some other videos maybe an overly edited Here and there maybe a ccc. I know black desert online has been sitting on the shelf for a little while now I guess you can expect that in the next couple of weeks But don't worry crap guide will return just uh watch for the little bow and arrow in your sub box Now that's the q&a done and uh if you are only interested in the crap guides to dnd Or just being a passive viewer and watching my videos and and just supporting me that way That's great. I appreciate you. This is for all intents and purposes the end of the video You can stop watching now because right now I'm about to plug A patreon and it's nothing special. It is the same thing as every other patreon. So you can leave now if you if you're not interested Everybody out only the people who care about the patreon stuff still around Okay, cool So yes, like every other youtuber out there alive I have a patreon now What I want to say is not to donate so I can make better stuff Or that I can make stuff faster or that I can make more crap guides or anything like that because that's not going To happen that's not to say that your contribution won't help in some way even the tiniest amount if 1% of my subscribers donated a single dollar each I can possibly live off of that some of you may already know this but I am currently in my senior year Of college and will be graduating soon. My tuition is not fully paid off And I do not currently have a job aside from the live streams and youtube if you count that But that doesn't mean I'm going to make this my full-time job. It's not that I don't want it to be I just don't know that I Do want it to be trends interests and the internet are always changing So I worry that putting so many eggs in this basket might be a bad idea If I trip and drop it one day in which case a more traditional salary job would be more secure I'm just not sure either way. That's why for now I feel like I'm going to have it be temporary until July at that point it will have been one month since I graduated college and Should be enough time for me to find a quote-unquote real job And I should be able to come to a decision on whether or not I want to continue doing this Exclusively as a viable means of income or not That's all to say that donations are not and never will be required to make all the things I want to make because I want to make a lot and I would do it regardless even before the channel exploded I have been making a variety of things to feed my creative needs You can check my personal channel for some examples of that. I want to make videos. I want to make music I want to make animations. I want to make games even if the opportunity arises And I'm saying this because you should not donate if you are only expecting more videos like the crap guides because I'm not going to be only making those forever. I want to make a bunch of stuff I want to make a variety of stuff. Take a look at my past works Take a look at what I am capable of making everything I make not just the stuff that you like But the stuff that you're not too interested in either and that you should only donate only only only if you are Okay with that kind of content now. I do try to keep in mind what people are interested into It's like a 60 40 ratio of what I want to make and what I think people are interested in and sometimes the two overlap But with such a variety of content sometimes Some of it may not always be up to snuff in one way or the other Maybe you might not be interested or it might not be very good I also won't be doing tiers because I would like everyone who's interested in my work To have it available without a paywall. Things may change in the future if I can figure out a way to give higher paying patrons Their money's worth in a way that I am both comfortable with and capable of providing But for now, I think I'm just gonna leave it as it is with all that said If you are still interested in supporting my work financially through this I mean aside from those of you who already are generous enough to donate on tWish Then I am Describably grateful it is an absolute Dream to be able to do what you love and are passionate about and get paid for it Which is why I feel so guilty since it doesn't feel like work to me. It just feels like I'm just having fun But anyway, yeah, sorry to get all so boxy on you. I just Want to be as transparent and honest as possible. I don't want to make any False promises least of all when other people's money is involved Thank you everyone who stuck around for that whole spiel More videos out soon. I'll get back to the crap guides Once I recharge my my brain batteries And thank you
