Great! That's wonderful let me know how turns out!

Honestly it is a bit cold feeling but if you can get into the idea of loving the lore I think you can get through it. Think of it like a really long prequel aha

@@RabbitholeHobbies it kicked in naturally lol. I'm enjoying it so far (Jaehaerys just got the throne)

Thats an important part of camping 🤣

Thanks! I agree, I love being able to have multiple levels that can change thematically, mechanically or even just in difficulty. It adds a great depth of integration into dungeons. Cheers

You're certainly welcome! I think using nuts as weights in the walls is a great idea for easier movability and would love to hear back from you on how it worked. I've also seen people do that and then add magnets into the dungeon tiles so they snap into place which could be cool.

¡Thanks for the response! My brother and I made our first batch of walls, and learned a lot in the process. Applying too much glass-lustre mod podge so it was visible, not getting into the grooves with our initial darkwash enough so there's bits of white showing, and not really knowing how to do the moldy green darkwash at the end (one of ours looks really good in that area, but that was only by mistake). I've oft heard of using magnets; maybe we'll try it but for now the nut weights hold them in place well enough. The main con against magnets is it can ruin the short ends of the walls with holes. @@RabbitholeHobbies

@@theuniversewithin9151 Yea it takes some getting used to to get the amounts bang on but it sounds like the weights work. If you want, shoot me a pic on instagram.. I'd love to see your creation!

Hey no problem glad you found it useful!

Yea I suppose that makes sense, keeps everything contained

Yea I find it works better if you saturate them with water first

Thanks!

You're so kind aha!

Much appreciated my guy! Fair warning I haven't been posting much lately but I'm coming back around aha

Yea I agree with you there, instructions should be a given... and you're welcome, I'm glad you got some value from this video

Thanks dude! Much appreciated! 🙏🏼

No I can't say I have, have you?

@@RabbitholeHobbies no but it would be interesting if I did

I mean I wouldn't tell a priest they couldn't play... my table is open to anyone a) with an interest in the game and b) whose not a dick

I did get a haircut!

Puff loves being in videos I think aha

Thank you, I really appreciate your comment!

@@RabbitholeHobbies I really appreciate you interacting with your fans!

@@trothaksharkpuncher1059 I appreciate your interactions with my content!

No worries! Have you tried using these? They work really well actually

This edition doesn't have illustrations

Hmm 🤔 I'd have to watch the video again to sure, I'll get back to you on that aha

My understanding is that Rise of The Dragon is the same story released in a different format (mostly pictures I think) but I haven't actually looked at it.

@@RabbitholeHobbies Thank you!

Or the order of the books I would appreciate it

The first season of house of the dragon starts roughly on page 380 of fire and blood

@@RabbitholeHobbieslove u

The good thing about this book is that because of the time jumps and the style it's written, you can read it in chunks at a time without really having to worry about getting taken out of the story. Thanks for the comment!

Hey thanks again! You are too kind. I'm not blushing, you're blushing😊 now I'm craving lamb chops.... if you make them let me know what you think!

@@RabbitholeHobbies You have amazing charisma! Just an infectious personality! The world needs more people like you bro. You just seem like a kind soul. It's nice. Yeah, Lamb Chops, LOL...I'll Let you know the second I make some. Lamb Chops can really hit spot. I just had Stone Crabs last night while watching you cook them badass Lamb Chops! You a Badass, in a very good way, just a very nice person. I'm glad the world still has good souls like yourself i it. Behave yourself on a Saturday Night & I'll try & do the same....Talk with ya soon, hopefully. You're Videos are really amazing. Keep plying @ your craft, it's awesome stuff....👽👻😝😉

Hey wow this is so nice, I am very appreciative to have such positive feedback. Thank you for the encouragement aha I'm definitely feeling inspired now!

Wow thank you! I really appreciate this comment.

Hey thanks for this comment! I'm glad you found some value from this video! Enjoy the main series! It's a great read

@@RabbitholeHobbies Thanks mate :)

I actually just finished watching the last episode (a bit late I know aha) so there most certainly will be an update to follow soon!

This comment made me so happy! Aha I'm glad you liked the video. I love the random dungeon tables for 5e honestly, this one was a bit time consuming but you can bang out dungeons so quick if you need one. I've never tried ACK, I don't know too much about it but I have heard it's super fun. What do you like most about it?

@@RabbitholeHobbies Aw man, ACKs is one of the many retroclones (it does the BASIC rules, or more accurately B/X since it goes to level 14 for most character classes.) I like old-school DnD because character combat abilities (which are much fewer in number) don't out compete creative problem solving and the game looks more like a natural conversation rather than a rigid game, it's actually best played with the "game" part under the hood (for when the DM needs it) and instead players telling you what their characters are doing. ACKs is great because it's got a lot of tools to help build a sandbox (and it gets pretty detailed with optional info on trade routes, supply/demand based of terrain, etc) and it's got procedures for when players eventually become lords of their own castles, mage towers, thief guilds, etc.

That's really neat I'll look into it. The more I play 5e, the more I realize I might like some of the older editions. I end up customizing so many of the rules and mechanics to fit my (and my players) play style and i keep finding out alot of those changes are rules present in older editions. I really like the sounds of the ACK optional info you mentioned to add depth into world building and for additional downtime activity possibilities. Very cool thank you for commenting, I'm fired up to learn more always!

I'm sure you could find it, but you could definitely go to a library.

Off the top of my head I think somewhere around page 100 but don't quote me on that lmao

@@RabbitholeHobbies thanx 🙏♥️😂

@@hima9379 No problem!

As I've said I stopped reading pretty early on but from what I did read the events aren't portrayed as in depth as ASOIAF. The detail is more in a historical context. I think you nailed it with your hunch to be honest.

I think you might be accurate with this Jeffrey...

How did it get ruined?!

Watch before you read? Interesting I've never heard of people saying that's the best order of operations. What's the reason for watching first?

I think it gives you faces, names, places so you dont start from scratch

@@TheExpertTutorials This is actually a great point for these books! I have definitely come around on this since watching the series and then reading over the part of the book that correspondes

Right!? Definitely agree about feeling like a Westerosi history book, which I think was interesting.

@@RabbitholeHobbies the names are to much

@@francissemazzi1530 yea I agree, but watching the show definitely helps with that. Having a face to link a name to, especially when so many names are soo similar...

What!? No! My copy has no illustrations! What are the illustrations in the hardcover? Does it say who the illustrator is?

@@RabbitholeHobbies there’s a ton, they’re mostly of the Targaryen family and their dragons. Shame you don’t get to see them, they’re really well done

That's fantastic, I'm sure I'll see them eventually, now that I know to look for them. Thanks to you!

@@RabbitholeHobbies I too have the hardcover Harper Voyager (UK) edition and the illustrations are pretty cool, though in black and white. They're drawn by Dough Wheatley. I like this hardcover edition that I've got, though I prefer the looks of the Bantam hardcover one (both dust jacket and overall redness of the design).

@@TheTricktracktruck Man I never go for the hardcovers,,, maybe i need to rethink this

You're right I had no idea but I'm definitely going to watch that! That's is super cool, thank you!

Yea I've had to "fix" things as well to make it run smoother but hey that's a small price to pay to run a cool dungeon that your players enjoy aha

When I was bored I'd do this for solo adventuring with the original AD&D DMG.

Amazing! Puff has definitely watched some of the dragon heavy episodes as well. She loves it haha

I'm excited for you, I would love to watch this for the first time again aha. I take it you're a fan of the series?

I don't think so, I did flip through it a bit but never finished it I decided to wait for the show and try reading it at the same time to see how that goes aha

@@RabbitholeHobbies I think I’ll do the same then 😂 thanks!

@@stevietv420 Nice! Hopefully we made the right call! I'm starting to think maybe because of the way this book reads that to fill out the show into a long series they'll take each time period from the book and flesh it out. So whereas the original series was essentially one book per season, this will be 4 or 5 (or however many) seasons per book.

@@RabbitholeHobbies maybe! That would be cool. Hopefully their adapting goes better than season 8’s

@@stevietv420 I think that would be sweet too! And yea the problem with season 8 was they weren't adapting anything. Not only was it written for TV instead of as a book that was adapted, but it seemed rushed.

It actually turned out super well, what part of yours ended up being a mess?

@@RabbitholeHobbies it really did. I'll have to go back and see where I fouled up. Lol. Great job.

@@kingsfan2099 Yea I'd be interested to see someone else's roll up and how it worked

What did you decide?

Thanks and nice you're going to have a blast, there are lots of options in this book me and my players are really looking forward to using that we still haven't. Cheers

Sweet! Enjoy the journey!

I honestly can't tell you because I have purposefully tried to learn as little about the show to avoid spoilers. My assumption though is that it will go one of two ways, they will be close enough that they will compliment each other and you could almost read and watch at the same tome or be so different it won't matter if you read the book at all.

Yea that's a good point, if they were just amalgamating books why not make a compendium of ALL monsters or at least some from everything. But yea I think making it easier and cheaper for new players is a great aspect.
