Hey everybody! Shane here! Welcome to SDnDnD, a fun way for us to cope with being cooped up in our apartments for the foreseeable future and hopefully some incentive for you all to while away the hours during this suddenly strange time. If you’re new to DnD, hey, no worries! Most of us are too! (I mean, look, I played for 5 years as an extremely acrobatic Eladrin rogue who sparred with the best of them and won the hearts of all he met, but this is my first time serving as Dungeon Master, so even I’m green here.) This one’s dropping on a Friday but starting April 5th you’ll get a new episode every Sunday. SEE YOU IN THE DUNGEONS, FOLKS.
Also, big thanks to Raid: Shadow Legends for sponsoring this first episode!
Watcher honestly you are a blessing all of you *cough* except shane of course demon* love u guys!
Shane I love the voice you made your character have 10/10
DM Shane is a true blessing in these trying times
There is nothing more dangerous, amusing, entertaining or disturbing than a bored Shane Madej. :)
YAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS! Love DnD play alongs. Ryan, weird as always. Steven......Where's Andrew to give steven a hard time..... oh god could you add Andrew to the mix ?
Shane trying so hard to not roast Ryan’s character is admirable
Ikr
You can see the effort
Everyone else; "here's my entire life story, let me over share about that time my dad burned down a town and how my whole family is DEAD!"
Ryan; hi i'm STEVE
Best character
should of called him self Ricky goldsworth
Hello Mothman
@@questyquestkey7202 Im sure... questy questkey is the most important char in any campaign hes in though lets be honest
@@ONKVP greetings.
Are you together?
No.
Shane: *sweats nervously as the plot already starts to get derailed*
I do this shit to my dungeon masters all the time. My best friend and I plan for it now.
getting Oxventure vibes from that
the burden of all DMs is players constantly derailing the plot
My DM has nicknamed my group “the true stupid neutrals” because we always do the dumbest stuff and yet no one has died yet
bianca tricanico HONESTLY I ALMOST CRIED LAST TIME I DM-ED CUZ OF THAT
*Shane:* holding back laughter
*Katie:* the only one being serious
*Ryan:* aiming to derail the entire campaign
*Steven:* doing his best
Best take
Accurate
*Ryan:* being Ricky Goldsworth
@@doorlord1521 I'm high rn so this is the most intense shit I've ever seen 😂
@@MABfan11 jee, actually yes!
Stephanos definitely killed his 12 siblings
😂😂😂👏
I just howled
by accident, I'm sure
@@jessicaw9011 on purpose and I'm pretty sure he's plotting to kill Steve and Qezza too
Balance in all things.
"Hi, my name's Qezza. I was disowned by my adoptive father for rebelling against his militant takeover. Nice to meet you."
It is very nice to meet you
Great to meet you I’m Stephanos. I come from a big family of 13 but they’re all dead now. What brings you to The Yawning Portal?
can't stop laughing at this
Inigo Montoya type beat
No offense but Ryan should have absolutely played as Ricky Goldsworth
He should have named his character that!
I didn’t know how much I needed him to do this until I saw this comment 😭😭😍🤣
I had that thought as well lol
Who's to say Steve's name isn't really Ricky? 🤔
Hard agree
Between this and Puppet History, Shane is finally getting his absurd storytelling fix after the abrupt conclusion of the hotdaga #bringbackGenewhoisfrenchfries
Emily Thompson the most beloved character ever written
Anna Wood Charles Dickens would kill a man
😩 critically acclaimed
Jane Austin could never
The hotdaga was starting to hijack my reality, lol! :)
"We cut a man in half"
When the watcher became true crime for a sec
All hail
All hail
False Crime, Fantasy Crime
They changed the title I think youtube may have made them do it lol
All hail.
Shane: *LITERALLY DOESN’T BELIEVE IN THE UNNATURAL, plays dnd seriously*
Ryan: *BELIEVES IN CRYPTIDS, DEMONS, AND GHOST, names character Steve.*
steve the goatman
In balance, as all things should be
That’s cause dnd far surpasses ghosts
the duality of man
Truly the dichotomy of good and evil.
Y'all Ryan is a bard. We finally have a legitimate chance at hearing some Boogara Guitara
Oh Fuck i did not think of this
you predicted this
you willed this into existence
That's what I was thinking too. The guitar is even right behind him.
Of course he’s a bard
Shane: Why do you want to embark on this adventure down the pit?
Steven and Katie: (in a noble manner) It is my calling.
Ryan: I'M BORED AND IT SOUNDS FUN
Steve's entire character
the flirting between stephanos and steve is STRONG and im here for it
😂😂😂😂
RT😂🤣
The real mystery is how they all have such good internet they can all have a video call without any lag.
pretty sure theyre filming themselves individually
I think they’re filming themselves while simultaneously talking to the others via video call
This is EVERYTHING!! Shane has such a knack for storytelling, and Katie has great energy. I'm half in love with Qezza already. Also, Ryan and Steven are bringing juuuust the right amount of unbridled chaos and tomfoolery to the table. This is gonna be great!
Katie's awesome, Steven's at least trying, but Ryan's just there to troll everyone else.
Shane took an improv class I believe.
Steve: "What's a band-aid?"
Also Steve: "I just checked my Google cal"
The ironic thing is Shane's been looking so chaotic in all the other videos, it takes a nation wide lockdown for him to start looking normal again
"I'm hoping that cutting a man in half won't be taken too negatively..." haha I love her.
Love the combination of Big Buff Lady and Two Tiny Men
Elin Taylor you should listen to the adventure zone😂
@@hannahgrace4330 or Bombarded!
Shane's accents: PERFECT
Steven's accent: PERFECT
Qezza bonding through sibling fuckery: PERFECT
Ryan having a guitar in his bed on the pillow: PERFECT
call watcher dominoes cause all they do is DELIVER
edit: company mistake. my bad.
Wait but...Digiorno isn’t delivery...
JustinThyme You’re RIGHT I got EXCITED
This game is just Shane trying to get more material to put ryan back into the hot daga
Oh no
hot daga season 6 confirmed?
*gets flashbacks*
I sure hope so
Literally the first thing I thought of was that this is more of Shane's world building
"I am a lad from the far, far away and that's where this accent comes from."
I lost it during that whole exchange.
Of course Ryan is a bard named Steve
Simetra Gemini to be fair I panicked when I was creating my character so now his name is Soup
@@yaboiandy7307 See but Soup is the best name ever
Simetra Gemini oh ok that’s good because I happen to think the same
@@loucathwil86If I had a character that everyone said I HAD to play, I would bring it, play it--and kill it (or have it killed) within the first melee, just so I could generate a new one. I love seeing what new ideas Ryan, Shane, and Steven come up with. Limiting them to just a known handful is a waste of their talent.
i mean i literally named a my character named craig pfttt
Steve immediately called Stephanos sexy, he's rly living up to the bard expectations
Oh no, Shane’s the DM. This is going to be amazing.
Exactly, and ryan's playing a bard
This is going to be the greatest high.
If Hot Daga taught us anything this is gonna be very chaotic
@@caseyyyjones then again its a prewritten adventure so the chaos will come from the players actions
It’s gonna be truly chaotic. I love it
Steve is the character in every story that is useless but will come in clutch by the end of the journey
This series: lawful good
Steve: chaotic evil
pretty much yeah egfiyahKJ
This comment aged like a fine wine.
If Ryan doesn’t play the guitar in the background at one point, I’m going to throw a fit
I'm joining in
Also joining in the fit
hi I’m also gonna fit
I'm also going to throw a fit. I'll cry and everything.
Let’s ride! I’ll throw a fit or two.
when Shane said "lit candles" Ryan turned his head around to look at his lit candles, then at the camera like he's in the office 😂
Designer Eyebags when I gotta see
Nvm it's like 2:10
@@chilib4325 thank youuuuuu
If this was a movie, Steven’s character would die at the end and it would be the most tragic death on screen, since he brought the team together and was so pure hearted.
When I found out Shane was going to dungeon Master my heart shattered I don't think I could adore this man anymore and here he is proving me wrong again
Points to Katie for trying to hero it up with compassion and immediately reversing gear into full-on MurderHobo™ territory. Very meta.
stephanos must be protected. also i adore how qezza is so nice to him
Nobody:
Absolutely No One:
Not even Father Thomas:
Not even Steven Lim:
Ryan: *My name is Steve.*
Katie Alexi FUCKIN FATHER THOMAS😭💀
Do not be afraid.
LMAOOO FATHER THOMAS
😂😂😂Father Thomas
Steve Goatman
Katie: I need to know if I unjustly killed a man
Steven: I have a divine calling
Ryan: I’m bored, I’m free, let’s go
Just misspell it as "Steev" and it's fine.
Zeus Legion Styve
Steyv.
Sbeve
Steev Mike?
Steev Styve
Shane's frantic page flipping as DM is a mood
Ikr 😂
Qezza: /tries to open up
Steve & Stephanos: /roasts her despite having ridiculous names
LMAO this is fantastic and i love all of it. i'm dying of laughter 😂😂
God, of course Raid's still sponsoring youtubers mid-pandemic. I'm fully convinced that long after the nukes go off and we're all wearing bondage gear and driving through the desert, Raid: Shadow Legends will be paying post-apocalyptic gangs to spray-paint ads for their game onto their Death Cars.
Well now I'm counting on it
Steve (Stephanos): Band-Aids pls
Shane: Wut are those
Ryan: Ya I'll check mah Google Calendar, u know see if I'm free
Shane: *says nothing*
I had the same thought 😂😂
HUHUHUHU he even commented on them the first time saying how he's got a booboo
i would love a podcast where shane just tells stories.. ryan could do his theory voice && steven would do commentary in between and it's just CAOS imagine
You're pweddie.
FINALLY RYANS PLAYING THE GITUAR ON CAMERA AFTER YEARS ITS FINALLY GOING TO COME TRUE
Katie: i take my greatsword and go right for him
Shane: you cut him in half!
Everyone else: *looks of mild horror*
I'm loving this! I'd readily die for my three chaotic children.
Especially since I'm to 80% sure that "Steve" is just Ricky Goldsworth in a disguise, with a guitar he found somewhere (has stolen from his last victim) :D
Maybe yes i was kinda expecting Ryan's characters name to be Ricky
Qezza is just like me and every other gay guy ive met in my life so far
*yeah we just met but here's my tragic backstory and all my trauma*
Shane letting the chaos unfold is me lurking while drama is happening in the groupchat.
When Steven chose his last name to be “coffee bean” and my last name is Coffey. I feel represented!
Via Coffey hey i’m also a coffey!
This is the best outlet for Shane's utter weirdness and accents. Thanks guys, this is great, but I better see Hot Dog Saga cameos or I'll riot.
Everyone stay safe out there!
2:11
Shane: "Candle lights illuminating the room"
*Ryan and Steve both look at the candles in Ryan's room"
Thank you for alerting me to that 😂
can I just say how much I love Katie and her character?? she’s amazing
idk why but she’s just rubbing me the wrong way
@@natelwood7606 me too... Maybe because we're not used to her? 😅
Steve gets his guitar and softly sings
"toss a coin to your Witcher..."
The whole video that song kept playing in the back of my mind 😂
And now I am singing that song for the hundredth time lol. I love that song so much
Haha 😂 oh valley of plenty
A big thank you to Raid: Shadow Legends for sponsoring social distancing. I’ve never been one to interact with other human beings, but forget what you know about social distancing because with Raid: Shadow Legends your whole friend group will distance themselves from you anyways.
Michael C. Yikes haha
*_*chef's kiss*_*
I love how Shane is trying so hard to keep the plot together while Ryan is doing his best to fuck it up
The Yawning Portal is a *classic*. You're bringing me back to my Waterdeep: Dragon Heist campaign that finished up last year in the best way. I'm so excited for this series!
I just finished the dragonheist campaign a few weeks ago, with a pretty similar party, and i can feel their shenanigans.
@@LordOfTheTermites I DM'd it with a half-orc fighter, a half-elf bard, a tiefling rogue and a dragonborn paladin and boy howdy they were a riot. Our fighter also felt immediate kinship with Yagra, just like Qezza did. I'm so excited to see them fight the ***** next episode!
@@TheGermanChair my group started with a halfling barbarian, a dragonborn fighter, a dwarf/seal cleric ,a gnome wizard(i think), and me as a half-elf bard, by the end the group was me,the barbarian and the cleric, and yess next episode will be intense.
Claire McQuistan haha i’m actually dming a dragon heist game!! i can’t wait until we get into the actual heist part!!
I haven't played waterdeep but I know what happens in it and I love watching them walk through stuff like the yawning portal, troll, and xanathar (I love xanathar and sylgar so much).
Me: * wants so badly to find a group and play DnD*
Also me: * knows my anxiety wouldn’t be able to handle creating a character and being in a story with other people cause I’ll feel judged the whole time*
Least I can live through you guys 😂❤️
Sameeee, I just cannot find people to play with because of my anxiety lol xD
same 😔
isn’t there an online dnd thing?
Grace D id still find a way to have anxiety about it
hey uh you guys wanna just make a discord we’re all nervous and awkward
I aspire to be as calm as Stephanos is crisis situations... "no worries, mate :)"
One episode in and I am a full-on Qezza stan.
I'm lowkey disappointed that Ryan's character wasn't called Ricky Goldsworth
If he played Rickey Goldsworth he would just stroll in and tell them he now owns everything and wants the best house in the town and that whoever is in charge now works for him as his butler
ZABOO YESSS I’m so glad I’m not the only one
I was disappointed as well, but then I realized that the game would’ve been over very quickly 😂😂
I was also disappointed initially, but then I remembered Ricky is too OP for this and would probably become a Lord or something within 5 minutes, rob/kill/seduce everyone in the tavern, and the story would snowball way too out of control. Steve is just fine since that way we get more than one episode of fun shenanigans!
Steve is just Ricky in disguise, taking a break and slumming it with plebs. Later on he'll reveal his true form to end the game
Steven sounds like Oscar from The Office when they were all playing that Louisiana roleplaying murder game.
This plantayshoooon
I don't know what is happening here, but I like it.
DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS MATEY ARRRRR!
Same girl XD
shane has such a good dm voice, i'm loving this
I gotta say, the barman Durnan is a consummate professional--man gets cut in half in the middle of happy hour and he doesn't bat an eye!
shane: you're going to name your character steve.
katie: laughs nervously
steven: rubs neck nervously
ryan:
shane:
ryan: yes im gonna name him steve
shane: ok *panics*
I would love to see someone make an animated version of this
"Thats quite remarkable to share on the very first time meeting us..."
*one minute later*
"my family is all dead"
Lol
This is like one of the only videos a raid shadow legends sponsor makes sense for
Guys this is awesome. Though, as an experienced player and DM, do have some advice for you all going forward with the campaign:
FOR THE PLAYERS:
1.) Do NOT separate. Trust me, it's always a bad idea, especially in your case since there are three of you. Splitting the party is a sure-fire way to die.
2.) Steven [Lim], make sure to take as many buff spells, healing spells and protection spells as you can per spell level. Makes life easier for your team and for you too. That doesn't mean you shouldn't take any damage spells - just make sure you prioritize defense over offense.
3.) Watch your DM's reactions to things you do. Believe me, you'll be able to know whether your saved or screwed.
4.) What may be funny may not be efficient. What sounds cinematic may not be helpful. Have fun of course but keep in mind that your goal is to win.
5.) Leave the talking and negotiating to the most charismatic (i.e. the bard). It's fine to get involved and interact with NPC's (in fact, you should always attempt to interact with any NPC's your DM throws at you) but if someone needs persuading then leave it to the charmer.
6.) Be patient with the story and listen closely to details. You may want to rush in and fight some baddies but it could cost your lives if you ignore the DM.
7.) Explore your characters and the characters of your teammates! In my experience, a lot of good laughs and moments playing D&D were simply from talking and chilling with my friends characters.
FOR THE DM:
1.) Don't be afraid to stray from the path a little. I know your playing a pre-written adventure but that doesn't mean everything has to be by the book. Add in your own little flair if you want too - it's your world!
2.) In saying that, make sure to keep track of your characters and the players characters. It makes life a helluva lot simpler knowing where and how everyone stands with things. Could also give you some opportunities to bring up/introduce things about the characters to spice up the dynamics (only if you feel confident tho).
3.) Don't be a sucker for your players begging. There are rules, stick by them - no matter how much they plead.
4.) Then again, be just a little bit lenient. But only a little bit. (The Rule of Cool; Cinematic's; etc)
5.) DETAILS ARE SUPER IMPORTANT. Describe things as though your players are blind (because trust me, they are.)
6.) Your players are babies. They're dumb and stupid and have extremely low attention spans. Be patient with them. They're gonna forget things they shouldn't, ignore things they shouldn't and probably stab things they shouldn't. Don't be afraid to be the parent and reel them all back in.
That's all I can offer you as first time players. I hope you all have a wonderful experience playing D&D. Can't wait for the next episode!
I love shane as DM, his facial expressions when everyone introduced themselves, just priceless
Ryan: I'm going to name my character "Steve".
Me: Ah, so the demonic goatman did show himself that night, and he rode back inside of Ryan. Odd way to finally reveal himself!
I LOVE how much D&D content is coming out recently, and I couldn't be happier that y'all are starting a series playing it.
Stephanos is a special little guy, I can tell. Also can we just??? Qezza is my new idol. Love a warrior queen who can slice a guy in half I mean just big ol' heart eyes over here
All hail the Watcher, I'm actually watching this before the new unsolved 👀
YOUR POWER, KINGS ❤
Ryan being a Bard makes literally so much sense
watching this feels like group therapy, what.
Qezza is the best character so far, let's see how this plays out.
Not even the Watcher gang is safe from Raid Shadow Legends
They need money lol
I love how it's gone from, "BOOGARA GUITARA!!!!" To: "No, no.... no one wants that. Please stop." 🤣
I wanna thank you guys for the lighthearted content today my aunt died last night and obviously covid-19 going around has really got me stressed and not overall that happy so I wanted to thank you guys so much for this content not to be corny or anything but it really made my day better and a bit more happy
I’m so sorry for your loss hope things get better soon 🙏
sorry for your loss, stay safe 🥺💞blessed be
Don't let it beat you
I'm so sorry for your loss; please hang in there and stay safe. May she rest in peace.
This is fully the most accurate dnd session ever and im only five minutes in. This is so accurate,,, just pure chaos and just wow
But admit it--How many people did you game with who were like this?? I would have LOVED gaming with these four when I was more active in the D&D world👍👍👍😊!
Ryan is the perfect person to have on board when you need laughs while you're burning down a city, etc. Can't wait to see how he handles a melee.
Sponsor is raid shadow legends
Watcher crew: *plays dnd instead*
Of course, they want to play together, you can't do that with Raid Shadow Legends. Nobody would watch them playing RSL.
"looks like you got a boo boo,, heHeEhEh" when I say I died-
"you think you're ready to go down *_the hole_*"
Shane as DM... Dude was BORN for this.
wondering how come Stephanos the cleric didn't just use cure wounds or other healing spell on his injury rather than asking for bandaids
Tracey Clayton in the third episode he finally figures out he can do that 😂😅
Oh. I thought he was saving spell slots you know. Like a good cleric. But nahhhhh.
This has such potent "baby's first DnD" energy and I LIVE for it
Well you've gone and done it, combined my two favourite things right now - this channel and d&d. Shane you're a real good DM I hope we get to see more of you doing this
I love how everyone else made characters that fit the fantasy setting and have unique names and Ryan is just like “here’s my character, his name is Steve.”
Steven's character Stephanos is hilarious
I think this needs to become a weekly thing until social distancing is over. I’d turn in and watch this every week :)
Again, loving Shane's open-sleeve arms - another *chef's kiss* !
Stephanos acts like a cinnamon roll but literally killed a man
Why isn't The Professor playing DnD?
The professor and Shane are not on good terms, and since Shane is dm'ing then the professor isn't playing
Seriously, Steven is so cute. He has such baby energy. I'm pretty sure I'm in love with Qezza.
Yeah
"Wth is a band aid?" I'm losing it 😂
Shane being the DM is a curveball that makes this so much better
I don't think I'm ready for this.
lol, how small is Ryan's half-elf supposed to be? Half-elves are usually human-sized. I mean dont get me wrong, I'd love if Steve was just a particularly short half-elf.
Unsolved uploading at the exact same time that Watcher is an attempt against my sanity and heart and i cannot stand it
Love how steven is constantly doing his character voice so it sounds like stephanos is narrating all of his actions
