Thanks everyone for watching our first session of Lost Mine of Phandelver! Dont forget to subscribe and come back every Saturday at 5pm EST for more Phandlever!
Dude thank you so much for this. I'm about to run this adventure and this helped so much!
And it was also very entertaining!
Oh and Valiada is not that hard! Just take a second to remember how it sounds maaan. Vol-ee-uh-duh, it's a beautiful name.
Prepping to DM LMOP for my 1st ever DND game so I've been binging a few videos. Must say this is the best streaming setup I've seen so far. The high onscreen interactivity increases the viewing experience so much. Fully appreciate being able to see various dice rolls as well as the map and all character movements, which helps tremendously with allowing viewers to mentally keep up with the game. Thanks vm for the awesome viewing experience!
Thank you so much for the kind words and best of luck to you and your players!
Same here. Going to create my very first D&D session in the next couple of months and I'll be the DM as well. Going to start with this Starter Set campaign also and I'veen doing some notes, watching general DnD tips videos and reading the basic rules and the module for the past month and I feel like I'm not even close to being ready to actually run it.
@@IdigN1 we never really fill prepared, and to be honest we never really fully prepares in the first 3 or 4 sessions. But then you start getting the handle, the roleplaying help 90% with random tables you can have on your dm screen even with post-it!
Good luck all, going on my 4 session plus 2 session of character creation it was done with 6 players but we only end up with 5 to play the campaign.
Prepping for my first as well
I'm also prepping for my first game of D&D... I got the bug after watching Fantasy High during lockdown... So far I've bought the starter set, a bunch of dice sets, and spent about £60 on miniatures
10:25 Game starts
Thank you
hero
Some heros don't wear capes
I'm about to host my first DM session and am feeling all the anxiety that is popularly described. Thank you for some entertainment and inspiration!
We hope you liked it! Each chapter of our campaign is named after chapters in the module, so be sure to watch them if you need to look at any more encounters!
december 2022 here. how did things go with you as a DM?
@@omega311888
Hey hey! The game continues to-date, but did have a 6-month break somewhere in there. Playing with a friend who is a Lawyer. Not the rules kind, the literal kind. It is sometimes.... trying. Lol
Forever DM here. Even as a homebrew guy, having a mineshaft adventure in your back pocket as a DM is an awesome asset. I personally love adapting pre-written adventures and incorporating them into my homebrew sessions. I think WotC does a good job with the dungeon designs, but sometimes they need a little help on the story side.
That’s been my view as well. I’m excited seeing pathfinder announcing they are making stuff for 5E. I think their writing is awesome
Agree I am DMing LMOP right now and while I love the dungeon maps I have been embellishing the story a little 😂 … a lot 😂😂 keeping it true to source material butt making it more personable and whimsical
Just found your channel looking for other perspectives running this adventure as I help my oldest run it for the first time. Thanks for being willing to make mistakes and learn as you go. I am teaching the oldest child that they don't have to know all the rules, only be willing to learn from their mistakes.
Having a dad that has played for over 30 years does help the child a bit.
Running this simultaneously for 2 different groups, my first time as dungeon master. It's crazy how different each group handles situations and the major differences between how their adventure plays out.
We hope your games go well! Hope we could help!
In about a month time I will run this adventure as a DM myself! Most of my new players are new and it will be my first time as DM. Watching this was very fun and very valuable for me as a new DM, so thanks a lot! :D
We're glad we could help! Good luck with your campaign, we hope it goes great!
How did it go? Im literally in your position now. Will be running this next week with friends who are all new to Dnd ... dont want to screw this up and scare them away from dnd. Pressure is real lol
@@peterhans4263 I'm brand new to the game and DMd this campaign for 5 new players tonight. It went well!
@@TIEbaron nice! We also had a great session
Same! It’ll be my first time DMing as well tho
Just in process of setting up lmop for my families first d&d session. Your videos are spot on, I haven't dm'd for about 35 yrs lol n feel more relaxed about it after watching you guys play thanks very much.
Glad we could help! I hope your game goes great!
Very much enjoyed watching this. I really like the light background music and the "stock photos" of the scenes. I'm hoping to run this campaign soon and this was helpful to get some ideas on how to run it.
hey I really like to hear it helped you out! Best of luck to you and your group
Wow, great job. Especially for a brand new DM using relatively new Tech. I have sampled hundreds of different Live play DnD podcasts and you guys are in the top 10 for sure.
Thanks so much!
Just finished ep one and really enjoyed it. I’m in an online group playing the CoS but want to have a go at DMing myself with 3 kids age 7, 10 and 17 plus the mrs. I’m currently reading through this campaign to run for them so it really helped. Keep up the good work and thanks.
Hey that's awesome and thank you! A family that slays together stays together, ha but in all seriousness enjoy the campaign i think its a great introduction to dnd for the fam if new to the game
This was my first time watching actual game play and it was super cool. Enjoyed it much.
Thanks! We're glad you had a good time!
The adventure begins!
And what an adventure it was!
Friends want to play dnd and made me dm, we’re all first timers now I’m here watching vids to study dnd 😭
you'll do great! Just remember as long as everyone is having fun your winning!
Me fr how did it go?
First campaign I ever ran, with a few personal modifications. Didn't get to finish it but will one day hopefully soon. Miss my friends and DND group back in Texas. Will reboot the campaign when I get reliable Internet and can adjust to my department of Corrections schedule. This series is beautifully done and is very inspiring for me to do a better job running adventures for my friends when I'm ready
Hey, thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed! THe hardest part about playing dnd is scheduling haha . Best of luck in your future adventures!
Department of Corrections? Does that mean you're running D&D from prison?
I am about to watch this again. Lol running this, this Saturday.
Good luck with your game!
Picked up LMOP on the current DnDBeyond sale, looking to run it as a first time DM myself
Its a great module, simple but fun. If you have more experienced players I would recommend ramping up the difficulty of just a few fights like the final fight and maybe a fight or 2 in Cragmaw castle but all in all solid module
It's terrific for new DMs
keep up the good work, we all started somewhere, you'll polish d&d skills eventually :)
Thank you, ya i think the nerves really got me but we had alot of fun with this campaign. Thanks for watching :)
Jeb the rules lawyer, how fun
Gonna be dming for the first time next week with this module, anxious but excited! Trying to work out the quirks to make it easier on myself and my friends since we have like, an hour to play lol
Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great!
@@SwindlersDen thank you! Been rewatching this part a couple of times now haha
watching 2 years later and i loved it when jacq fell (amost) into the pit.. i was following the book i was like...ahh!!! jacq did go back for it!!!
As a DM there’s something so rewarding when players miss traps and then go back and trigger them accidentally anyway
Great Stream guys, you got yourselfs a new sub 🤠👉
Oh dear these guys are chaotic
Nice house rule for double crit both fail or success... Glad to find this series, even if its a bit late..
Happy to have you!
zorag is a beast 😭😭🙏
Vali-a-da. Hope that helps!
Nice episode! Out of curiosity, how was stat allocation determined for the heroes? Was it dice rolls for each stat? Doesn’t look like standard array which is interesting.
Hey Thanks! SO I tried something different than usual. I had them roll a d4 on a 1 they got 72 total points 2 = 73 points, etc. Then had them put their points where they wanted. It turned out alright but I dont know if I'd continue to do it this way or not in future games.
First time watching gameplay- getting more and more excited to dive into the world of D&D!
What online platform would you recommend for a first time player/players?
We use Roll20 for playing! The site itself is free, although if you want to play through pre-written adventures, you'd have to buy those adventures on the website
The opening of the can made me want a ice cold coke so bad
it was a nice crisp sound
No equa is not an alcoholic he is a pyromaniac!
Oh yeah. I don't have control over that right now.
Hilarious!
I wish there was a way to make the map pop out so that you can stream that as a source
Hii, thanks for posting this, I am going to dm for the first time soon and this really helped. Will be online with new players (covid). Where can you get this amazing lay out? Or is it content creator magic? :)
Thanks for watching! The layout was created by me in photoshop. Best of luck with your game!
Obviously it was snow.
The Barbarian sounds a lot like LE-ROY JENKINS!
He kind of acts a little like Leroy Jenkins too now that I think about it
sorry if this has been asked but where did you find those reference photos for the locations?
About to run this starter set adventure and looking at how it runs. This is the second one I looked at and the second one that didn't do the surprise round!!!
I can’t speak for griz but if I remember correctly, the surprise round makes it very easy for the party to get TPK’ed in the first fight so that’s probably why he didn’t use it
@@SwindlersDen👍❤️. I didn't expect a reply, so thanks for replying.
The first one I watched was from the WOTC themselves and THEY ignored the surprise round. I found it frustrating that the guys who created the rule system ignored the rule system on the very first encounter, so I left That playthrough.
The 3rd playthrough I watched did it satisfactory. Two PCs spotted the goblins and got to act in the first round and two didn't so they were surprised.
When you ignore the very first encounter suggested way of running it, that doesn't bode well for the rest of the scenario.
I can understand someone who moves up to the dead horses to check it out and they say they are keeping an eye out in the forestry, that is up on a rise, for any suspicious activity would get a perception roll but otherwise it's passive perception.
.
I am a DM and gamer of 29 years so I'm not a noob to the game. I've been playing 5th edition for about a year now and to be honest I'm not a fan, but my friends are and they like it.
We started with dragon heist and are now in the dungeon of the mad mage scenario and getting bored of all the 'dungeons' as is the DM. We played the one off Vecna lich scenario and had him defeated in 5 combat rounds, I think the DM when easy on us.
The DM has asked me to run the Starter set so that he could have a go at being a PC, so I wanted to see what it ran like. I'll be starting this Friday with the provided PCs.
I think the adventure as a whole is one of their better ones, but as with anything in 5E, all rules are optional so you can mess around with whatever. Try not to overprep, and good luck with your game!
@@SwindlersDen ran the first part of the scenario on Saturday last. In the goblin surprise round two of the group were actively scanning the three line as the cart approached the Dead horses and got a perception roll the others use their passive perceptions. Three of the group where surprised and one got to act on the surprise rd. The wizard dropped unconscious on the surprise rd but 3 rounds later the goblins were defeated, one goblin escaped into the Forest. After some healing, the group proceeded to follow the trail to cragmaw hideout where they surprise attacked the two goblin guards and defeated the Change-Up wolves. Session ended there till the next time. All 4 group members are still alive, so far.
Love the format, is there a website/software you use ??
Yes, we use the website roll20. Its a good site for online play
Does the sound synchronize with the video eventually?
Starts at 4:55
oh no HE ATE A PENGUIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great! May I ask what program you are using to run the game?
Roll20!
Question for either the channel or anyone here running this campaign: Did you start your party at level 1 or level 2? I am going to be running this soon and see lots of people online recommending starting at level 2, as the first encounter, plus the cave can easily kill a level 1 party with a few unfortunate rolls.
We started at level 1, and the cave certainly was a challenge for us. It's all personal preference - starting from level 1 can be easier for new players to grasp and can feel more rewarding, but if you'd rather be safe, level 2 is also a totally viable option. You can always add a low level magical item or shuffle some NPCs around if you're feeling nervous
@@SwindlersDen thanks for the response and advice! I've played tonnes of D&D, just never DM'd, and will be playing with unknowns on Roll20, so will perhaps have to gauge based on how new they are (looking for newer players in general), and maybe slip a health potion or two in, or level 2 if I feel they need it. I'll probably end up playing it safer than necessary due to not wanting added stress of dealing with a TPK on my first DM session
“Lost Mine”
What VTT are you running this on?
which website did you use for showing the map etc
Roll20!
Oh my god! Rumshoe was so adorable. He's basically baby yoda. What the hell happened to that little bastard?
It's a hard knocks life
I also love Zorag trying to human centipede out of this like 6 ft hole.
Our poor baby boy.. life was rough to him xD
What website or app is being used for the map and tokens?
its a website called roll20
I am hoping to get some ideas for playing my character as I play a cleric this is my first time playing.
I realize this is an old video but help I'm a new DM (no stress lol). I love the program you are using but can't find its name anywhere is comments, video, or credits. Help
Roll20!
why is there 2 numbers for the d20 rolls?
so the the roll on the left is the normal roll however if you roll with advantage or disadvantage you roll 2 dice. Advantage you take the higher of the two numbers disadvantage you take the lower of the two numbers.
We have it set to always roll 2 dice for convenience sake mostly so if a character doesnt have advantage or disadvantage we always take the first roll (the one on the left)
this game is so complicated but so fun lmao
What is this site, how much does it cost, and does it work on phones?
the site is roll20 its free to use but you do have to pay for books and adventures on there (although you can manually input everything as well to save you money) I dont think it works too great on phones. Test it out for yourself tho as I've never given it a real try
So if the d20 roll is the same as the AC, it's a miss? 🤔
Normally after modifiers, it’s a hit, but we might have messed up a little as we were still new players here
Where do you get your images you show the user? Do you have a collection of your images and sounds you could share?
A lot of the background images were taken by our DM or found online, and the maps came with the set on Roll20
Some maps are also made with inkarnate. Eventually we plan to release map packs on pur patreon, so stay tuned!
To add to this. Most “Campaigns” or books that WotC make have user created subreddits generally with imaging etc… take a look!
Stitch Goblins
Every good thing in life comes from Lilo and Stitch
I love how Stitch is just the stereotypical goblin voice lol.
only rage doesnt work with ranged only hombrew barbs thus it is twelve but still a killing shot only a thad bit miscalculated.
It should take no longer than 1 session to get through the trail, and through the entire cave... my group took 3 full sessions, 5 hours each. Why? New players. XD
why does every roll they roll have advantage/dissadvatage
It's an option that we have enabled and if there was two nat 20s or two nat 1s we'd have some special happen. Not really something we do anymore but it's easier to just leave it on rather than toggle it on and off. We just use the first number for normal rolls
I don't under stand why there stats go below 8 and some are 18 at start. And a fighter with - str and a paladin with 0 cha?
For this campaign, we did stats a little bit weird. We rolled a D4 and added that die to 70 for our stat total, and then allocated points into whatever stats we wanted. I figured Jeb wouldn’t be a strong guy, so I put only 8 into his strength, and focused more on other stats.
All classes have prerequisites, and for the fighter class you need a 13 in either strength or dexterity, which is why Jacq is a dex-based fighter (I played an arcane archer once, it was super fun). As for Valiada, I think that’s just a custom thing that griz and Baka ruled maybe? Strength is more important to Valiada than her spells so that’s probably why she can get away with low charisma (always consult your DM for these things). Hope this helped!
@@SwindlersDen as far as I've seen you only need a 13 charisma as a Paladin if you want to multiclass (which was not my original intention with Valiada) and as a newer player I was still getting a hold of how to allocate stat points when given free use of them. Luckily Valiada didn't need as much Charisma because I relied on her melee potential more than her spell saves, but I did realize it was hiding her back especially because I made everything average except for Strength. I believe she was also missing a point or two of her total stats because I had to custom make the goliath race on roll20 because we didn't have the race purchased at this point and just missed it (again was still learning) we did reroll her stats for season 2 and made them more optimal, but she still did pretty good with these stats for this campaign.
But I wanna summon blue eyes
jack sparrow lol
Why do people put a 5 minute countdown on a replay of a stream? Just start it when actual game takes place.
Valiada doesn't seem to pronounce his name phonetically.
you ignored the fact that the players were surprised the first round, that the goblins had cover, that they can hide as a bonus action and that the landscape gives cover.
It is very wrong that people can attack and track through dense thicket with no knowledge.
We're all still learning, but we appreciate the feedback!
@@SwindlersDen yep, sorry if my comment came over as over critical just felt like i needed to point that stuff out.
@@petegiant to be fair with the 22 perception roll the goblins would have had to roll very high for stealth in order to gain surprise. If anything only the two in the cart should have been surprised but I think no surprise is fine with a 22
@@jdRamza The goblins had total cover though. The scenario is called goblin ambush for a reason.
@@petegiant I'm pretty inexperienced with the total cover stuff but I know the module officially reads to "check to see who, if anyone, is surprised" using a passive perception check against the goblins d20+6. They'd have to roll really low but it is possible. Statistically, yeah the party should be surprised more often than not. Allowing them to get a good taste of how important stealth/surprise can be. Are you against allowing an active check if a player requests it? A higher roll or successful passive check against bad stealth roll could mean they noticed their presence, not that they see them (in regards to total cover).
i believe in goblin arrows there are 4 goblins not 3 😡😡😡. I am disappointed and disgusted in this inappropriate use of this beautiful campaign!! 😡😡😡Do better. 😡😡😡
You are so correct! Thank you for bringing this point up! It was bothering me as well!
indeed i am very dissatisfied with this as well. please note that this may upset all of your subscribers. consider this a lesson to be learned.
@@neighborhoodconspiracy7852 Sir you must calm down i am actually legally blind so that is very disrespectful
@@poocrew3409 I am so sorry that they would make such a distasteful comment. @Neighborhood Conspiracy - Do better. 😔
I am his personal aid, and i too, find this inappropriate comment as very disrespectful, I hope your parents are proud. Do better. This is why you only have 11 subscribers you bottom feeder.
You really uploaded a video with almost 5 minutes of "starting soon". Do you know what editing software is? I get that this probably came from a twitch stream or podcast but you have the ability to take that 5 minutes of nothing and delete it.
9:19 is where they start for those needing to know rather than watch stupid talking
