Loving this. Really like the approach Bill takes to introduce new players to a TTRPG. Don't explain every single rule, just enough to get them started. Gotta say, in every group there's always one who stacks the dice!
I feel like that's a dm mistake. Those are the situations where you call for a bathroom break to give you some time to solve their answers Idk what the solution was in this case tbh but I'm sure there was some cool boss fight where they get dragged out of the physical world and into the spirit world while they fight the priest for the lady's soul and the demon is trying to climb up through the partially opened portal. Something like that. You can even do "we'll pick up next week" and then give yourself some time to figure out what happens by saying something ominous and leaving the session on a cliffhanger.
I caved That rules glossary was the seller for me. I failed you I am sorry
Is there a way to play CnC solo? Unfortunately, my friends are not interested in TTRPGs and my playgroup mostly play DnD 5e. I read something about Siege but not sure how that works. Thanks!
Ehy is it a rip off ?
I’d love to buy castles in crusades but I’m saving money for the folks at MCDM
Roll a persuasion check
It is indeed an awesome system.,
Aye aye!
Hell yeah. Fully agreed. I haven't tried Castles and Crusades, but I trust your judgment. I'm planning on running some mini-campaigns after I finish my current Pathfinder 2e campaign (love that system, sooo much better than what WotC puts out). Could be a great time to try Castles and Crusades as well.
Amen Stay with what you have
Yes sir, the DM has spoken, also where is my next episode of castle and crusades.
I hope there will be or is a vid that goes deeper on an explanation as to why.
I’ll bet he has videos on his channel doing just that.
@@andrewwrath I see it like, wizards of the coast could just make this 6th edition instead of the tittle 2024, so I personally feel that is also a rip off.
Buy me for a friday night instead. Def not a ripoff in the sheets
Any thoughts on Draw Steel from MCDM?
Very expensive and there are no rolls for hitting in combat.
Haven't read it, so I can't comment on MCDM. As a person who I've met in real life, he's a cool dude, and he's hella smart.
@@BillAllanWorld I've been watching Matt for a long time now, I really hope it's good.
I know wizards is a big scam but is there a reason? A video detailing why? I’ve been out of the dnd sphere for a while. Last time played I had just bought my used 5E handbook. Everything else can be found and downloaded safely online by googling (DND [name of handbook] pdf)
buy DCC
I actually just bought DCC. I also got to play it at Venger Con back in July, and it was indeed awesome.
@@BillAllanWorld I like that it's one book, well a tome of a book, but that's all the player and GM needs
Fast and effective. I like it.
Glad you like it!
Wow I see a JoJo reference (from Kat's shirt). I imagine when Lark casts Eldritch Blast, they say "ORA ORA!"
LoL! Good catch!
Good insights about the role a GM can fulfill as a teacher. I think people can overemphasize the adversarial role between GM and Player as a negative one. Challenging your players can be many things. Throwing them in the proverbial deep end can be both the path to teaching them to swim and watching them drown.
Yes, very good points. So many opportunities.
Omg been trying to fill a gap in my campaign how this creature will work In game. Early campaign they got a prophecy: to repair the world you must challenge 6 monsters outside your abilities. They have killed 4 with npc help or pets. They know they need a blade. They have an idea this creature or another has it. So I'm watching how to run the creature... Side note the players god/deity/fathers is marvels Loki. Yes he fills all 3 roles for the whole party for one all 3. They have sheath, one players parents had It in their treasury. So the background for the morokoth is perfect. Grandad Odin believes he has seen the blade before. And send them to clean up one of his messes. They have already decided for uncle Thor to take them to see his weapon smithy to help them repair the weapon. Thanks for your help :) filling a small blank I was having
Superb! I'm glad this was helpful and I love your ideas for how to use this.
For anyone wondering: Heather is now a comedian and SFX artist Rory is a 3D graphics artist Cooper is a senior and soccer player at University of Illinois Couldn't find anything on Brian Max Abrahamson is the assistant director of videography for the Pittsburgh Panthers Matt (to the best of my ability) is a therapist Kyle Niego is a ranch hand and photographer in MT Cristian Gonzalez is a baseball coach I couldn't find much on the others. This has been your "Where are they now" Bill Allan remains the supervisor for the LTTV cable station in Chicago, IL and teacher of media services at Lyons Township High School (Him and Abrahamson were the easiest ones to find tbh)
Accurate.
Watching this after 2yrs of the upload date: Is the thing in the sky the one swirling inside the orb? 🤔
Hmm, I don't think I can answer that, because there are some spoilers. The group never actually figured out WHAT the thing in the sky was, but it is part of an ongoing theme in my series.
The best horror episode Eyeless deer bird talking and moving I was like 😮 "this is some Midsommar stuff"
Indeed!
Good job boys! Can't wait to see what is going to happen in the next episode.
Unfortunately, summer ran out and the boys went to college. We might try to finish the mini-series in December during winter break.
Oh Karafa is in the lore hoho
Indeed!
Currently going through an encounter where my group ran into a group who has a flesh golem in their control. We talked to the leader of the group and found out that the flesh golem only follows her because she looks like it's previous master. The mouth piece of our group negotiated for that group to be a "merchant" for us. I ended up getting an idea for taking control of the flesh golem during all that. So when the potential merchant went into their quarters, me being a changeling, I transformed into the lady that had control of the golem. I used it to attack her underlings with one more ally. The other two went after the fleah golems temporary master. It has resulted in a shouting match between the leader and me over who the golem listens too. I cleared the room with the underlings in it. I'm trying to get the golem out of range of the leader's shouting.
Brilliant!! Nicely done!
I’m using this as a BBEG that has a secret order that collects items for it. It lives on a domed island under a gulf that’s vital for trade. And sends minions to ransack ships and collect rare items.
Superb idea!! Well played!
A late viewer, but looking at the 5e Players' Handbook, they never mention that Elves have pointed ears. Although these are not Tolkien elves (they are shorter than humans, for example), Tolkien never described Elves as having pointed ears (even though his descriptions of everything else is quite detailed) and characters who identify other characters as Elves base their inference on the light in the character's eyes, perhaps height and 'fairness'. Never assume anything (like the Monk comment someone made)…
Valid point. I suppose you could skin any fantasy race and modify to fit your world and preferences. Maybe in someone else's world, elves have horns, blue skin, and black tongues. Who knows?
U
Thank you.
Watching from the Philippines! (If there's one already, pls don't spoil me :D but) Hoping to see a performance here from the Bard! Just like Jarafa song :D
Ah! Welcome! Thank you for tuning in! Hope you'll check out the next season, coming soon!
I don’t know why, but Matt annoys me so much. I know these are high school students but that’s no excuse for being so rude at the table.
Valid. Very valid. D&D just wasn't a good fit I guess.
6:00 Bill getting schooled about non-binary pronouns 😂
LoL!! Indeed...
Descent into avernus has the players go to the nine hells, not the abyss, though 🤔
Yeah, good point.
Excellent content! i loved this
Thanks so much!
Matt is striking me as a problem player and probably needs to acknowledge that there are more people at the table everyone stops and waits for his turn but I can see him never stopping waiting and listening to other peoples tones. Hopefully he gets better at this as the game goes on this could be just first game. Jitters is what I’m hoping anyway.
yup
Hay guys isn’t that Heather’s players handbook when she stuck that sticker in the middle of the back of the cover😅
Yes! We have had those books for quite a while now, and they are still being used.
@1:23:50 Why is the one guy wearing a "Kill Bill" t-shirt and the sword is aimed at you, Bill?! Coincidence? I think not...
LoL! Good point!
Excited to watch this with my son tomorrow on the big screen tv!
Awesome!
It's good to see some young guys work together and you have great patients. Well done sir.
Thanks!!
As soon as "splitting the group" was mentioned I was thinking "Oh no..."
LoL! Me too!
always the cliffhanger Bill lol great adventure so far thanks for sharing stay safe
Thanks 👍
ThanksBill and students, I love Bill's stories and also like seeing new players learning how to RP. I'm super excited to see what happens with this campaign. Good luck to all the PCs.
Thanks Aaron!
I needed this, thank you DM Overlord forever ,I shall forever be grateful!
You are so welcome
16 minutes in and the 3rd AD, can you please limit you midroll Ads so that this is watchable.
Sure thing
I've been waiting for this! Keep up the good work gang!
Hope you enjoyed it!
You use "ubiquitous" a lot but you mispronounce it, every time.
Hmm. I'll have to ponder this statement.
Would love to see you play Cthulhu Dark Ages Bill.
Not a bad idea; I've played it before, but never run it. We shall see what the future brings.
Cloud giants are absolutely my favorite giant, im actually making a video of my own reworking the entire statblock into a fitting, lore friendly cloud giant thats representitive of their wealth. I had a cloud giant prince named Celestius, who saved the party from the cloud giant sentinels who rode in on massive golden chariots (they protect their sky cities from intruders) Celestius in turn made the players become his serfs and fight for him in a gladatorial arena where other cloud giant nobility gather up creatures from around the world an have them fight to see who has the best beast. And he loaned the players his great grandfathers vorpal scythe to show the immense wealth he had.
That's a really cool idea. Giants can be so much more complex and interesting than most people realize. Glad you are customizing them to fit with your game.
Thanks for a doing a video on these. They have intrigued me since I first saw them. I was always unsure how to use them though. You have given me some ideas and clarity! Thanks!
The revenge aspect and the k###ing of families make me think of mobsters. Mmmm....
Glad you like them! They definitely have huge potential for long-running villains.
Yep! Totally!!
