Beware of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
that high five gave me cancer, and then it gave my cancer, cancer.
I know Duke is married, but surprised Adbarian isn't
Just got a stacked discount deal with an early Black Friday sale and the Oneshot code, thanks Adbarian!
The DM getting frustrated then remembering they're new and as a DM we must cherish and coddle our babies every single question is too real
True
I feel like that's a reason why I'm really hesitant to play. I'm afraid of slowing them down plus I've met some really assholes who definitely didn't help
@@J1ntu don't worry about slowing things down as long as you are engaged and interacting you'll learn pretty quick. The only one who slow things down to the point of frustration are those "players" who are on their phones until it's their turn in combat.
I dunno, never had this happen to me. I just watched live plays before I DMed. TBH, that'd teach someone to play too.
So, when do we play yahtzee with these dice?
ALTERNATE TIMELINE
"Whats a D20?"
"Its a die with 20 sides."
*Pulls out a D6*
"No."
*Pulls out a D12*
'Still no."
*Pulls out a D100*
The DM:
"Wait wtf"
That D20 gag legitimately happened to me in a game I was running with a new player. He was on the other side of the room each game, and or about 3 sessions he was always upset he was rolling so low, and we chalked it down to being unlucky, He never figured out why he couldn't roll above a 12. I eventually asked him about it and watched him roll initiative one time, and saw he picked up his D12. I pointed it out and he said "but this is the die I've been using for all my checks".
If you think that’s bad, I had a player thinking that they had to roll the weapon’s damage die to hit and since they use D&D beyond I had no way to tell they were rolling to hit attacks with a d4
I had a player do that, we thankfully caught it pretty quickly 😅
@@bendy2095 If you've all got characters in the same campaign on D&D Beyond then you can show a feed of everyones rolls, its been a massive help for me when I've realised people have been cheating XD I believe you can import custom characters from their profile to a campaign you can create.
It happened to me too the first time I played 🥲 Funny shenanigans ensued, but I was soooo relieved when my GM caught it and I started rolling properly xD
Had the same happen last week, but luckily I'm DMing for a group with mixed experience and one of the veterans caught it quite quickly. The player who did this is a natural in roleplaying though, so I sometimes just forget she's just as new as the other green players in the party.
Lol, hilarious, the high five cracked me up and DM having to tell the new player not to punch him
That high five. My face hurts from laughing so hard. Must have skipped back to watch that like 20+ times
"You can do A N Y T H I N G"
That tells me absolutely nothing about what I need to do.
This is so accurate lmao its honestly how I was when my party & I began our campaign like 2-3 years ago.
I felt the pain from both sides. I remember being new; and remember explaining the game to noobs.
0:37 Literally me as a dungeon master!
FR
Literally this is what i felt when I instructed my friend to D&D because he wanted to play it for the first time. He did not listen well (because he never does lol) and he just looked at his phone for memes on google. Me and my other friends told him to actually play serious after he chose to become an attack helicopter instead of a male or female. This could be the most accurate video of D&D I have ever seen...
The best way to introduce a new player is to make a session a dream where there are no characters no rules and show them how it works but that’s what I did, once, because I only played once
1:44, when grabbing the d20 it was a d8
looking again I think it's a d10
finishing the video, I mix the three up too often
Hahaha that last joke hit home...was literally trying out some dice last week and was like "Huh, this D20 is weighted horribly...I haven't rolled higher than a 12 after 30ish rolls".
It was at that point I realized I was actually rolling a D12 😅
I imagine if the player blanks after being set free, the DM can start describing the surroundings to give the player time and context to decide. Here he was told he was in a market and left there without a goal, so it makes sense to have nothing, and if slowly the market starts having an actual mental image about what is it there it should be much easier to decide on something to do.
The DM seems so chill and forgiving, I hope my first DM is like this... I am not smart.
This def gonna be playing... I am very sad.
THAT HIGH FIVE! I laugh so loud that i wake up my 2yo son in next room!
This is painfully true. I DMed for a whole group of new player and it was a lot of this for about two months.
My first time playing Dnd, I actually learned what I was doing and had to be the person along with the DM who helped the other first timers.
I won't lie, it would be cool to have a community of people owning a 200sqft area together.
"I punch him" That's where we get the ball rolling! Start with a brawl, get other fruit vendors involved and spiral the story off from there.
That sounds like some of my rolls. My first roll in Pathfinder was stealth roll- I rolled a nat 1 and I had a -1 modifier to stealth checks.
"Why did you tell me you did??" "I panicked."
too real....
Turns out AD-barrien is now un ironically the BBEG and is conquering a entire kingdom with selling goods and now that I think about…..this could work in a real campaign kinda
Looking forward to the Dragonborn puberty thing :D
I just dmed a one shot with two new players and they picked everything up incredibly fast
New player: i don't know, how to do it
New DM: i don't even know, what we are doing
Yeah I'll say this I think one of the biggest obstacles is the way the PHB presents information and as a result there is a lot of flipping around. I honestly made my own descriptions of the instructions to kind of streamline it. Like I will tell people to pick a background first because you typically get more proficiencies from class. So instead of picking rogue and then finding your background has proficiencies you picked already and flipping back to choose 2 more rogue ones. You pick two THEN you're going to rogue and you don't have turn back to the duplicates. Odds are less likely you'll need to return to backgrounds and pick something there and, in the rare chance you do, you might even be able to remember the one or two other options.
This is what happens when you make 'fireball fireball only fireball' a meme. Then you end up with people who literally want to use it for every god damned spell slot.
See that patch of gray hair on the DM’a head? A new gray hair grows everytime a new player tests his patience with silly questions
Aw this brings back so many happy memories
Dm tip for playing with players new to all the dice and they are having trouble: either take the D12 out of the equation or help them build for an Only D12 and D20 build. Because the two seem to have basically the worst mis-identification reaction
Putting the modifier in the big or small box killed me
I love that the whole time yellow shirt dude was rolling a 12 sided
Nevermind just finished the video
there is.... a book... a magical book that has everything about the world written in it, as well as what you can interact with and how to play the game, aka the Players' Handbook.
If only more people read it, so many questions would be skipped.
I’m still new and this is actually how it feels.
I learned D&D very quick because I have a great DM
Beginner tip, until you can tell which dice is which on sight, keep each die in their own container like a Ziploc and write D20, D10, etc. Always keep them in the right pouch, eventually you'll develop the sight reading skill of spotting a die just by looking.
Source: Me, DM since 1996.
"Do I put the modifier in the big box or the little box?"
Noob asking the questions that even the veterans don't know lmao
*furiously taking notes*
Dude I watched this to just have something to watch with breakfast and I laughed so hard. This was/is still me lol
That high-five-handshake-brofist was phenomenal 👌
1:40 completely missed opportunity for the new player to use the percentile dice
This is a man that has been scarred.
As a new player, the “panic” speaks to my soul.
that failed high five made me laugh for 2 straight minutes
the d12 plot twist had me rolling on the floor
Taking the d12 instead of the d20 once happened to one of my fellas, it explained his poor rolls
dm you contemplate a puzzle whit pressurer plates.
me: I PUNCH THE PUZZLE
Ad-barian needs his own episode
I read through the Players handbook twice when I first started playing in order to understand 😂 also my first character was a Dragonborn ranger.
I'm currently running a beginner DND session at my school so I had to make preset simplified character sheets. And the dice bit hit a little too hard, turns out d20 is a tough concept but not as tough as the d8.
I played with - didn't DM for, thank gods - a newbie who had a very...unusual approach to rules he didn't know/understand. Specifically, if he didn't know what to do in a given situation, instead of asking the DM or doing what he'd done before, he'd make up some BS each time. Often completely random stuff - he kept trying to roll to dodge, and would often declare what check he would make based on what sounded right to him. It'd be one thing if he learned and stopped doing it, but he didn't - for all the time I played with him, he never did learn how the basic pattern of attack-roll damage worked. And he'd get offended if he was told "that's not a thing" or "the game doesn't work like that": once he got very upset about called shots not being in the game. Things like that. It was kinda hilarious.
as someone who is new at the game but had to teach 3 other people to be able to play, this resonates deeply with me
I knew this was gonna be funny when I saw him pick up the d12 instead of the d20.
I was pretty decent at my first game. I'm still a baby player with only a few sessions under my belt but I think I'm doing well. I play a goblin rogue with a wholesome backstory. The biggest thing to teach me was 'which one is the d20' which I remembered after asking once and confirming a few more times (I picked then showed the dice to confirm it was the right one before rolling), I also needed help with figuring out what stats applied to what, what proficiency was, and what initiative was. On my 4th session though I got the barbarian to throw my rogue like a football so he could murder an enemy rogue who was trying to run away to tell his guild/get backup (barbarian rolled a nat 20, I have +7 acrobatics, +5 for dexterity as my dm allowed me to take -1 strength) I rolled a 26 after modifiers so my goblin totally landed that with both daggers in his back and killed the enemy rogue. My rogue also keeps mailing poop to a racist elven lord he met. If you're going to be a poop person you get poop in the mail. My DM, I think, is secretly proud of me and flabbergasted at the things I come up with, like mailing poo to a racist lord and convincing our artificer to make one of the packages spring loaded so when he opened it he basically gets pie-tinned in the face with goblin feces that've been fermenting in the time it takes to travel to him. I'm probably going to accidentally start a race war if this lord finally has enough but my goblin has proficiency with forgers tools so none of the writing matches so he has no idea who's actually sending all these packages to him, he just lives in fear of packages so far
My first time playing D&D , I rolled terribly like this. Turns out the DM thought I was having a lesbian affair with his gf (no ) who set up the game so he used loaded dice to try and make us fight. She was kind ofvhigh strung and screamed at me for being useless when her character ended up dying. I just thought it was a good prank but it backfired on him and they broke up. I am not friends with either of them anymore.
😂😂😂 I just watched the movie Dungeons and Drangons: Honor Among Thieves with my nephews and cousins . I had to explain to a lot of things during the movie about how things are and I struggled to explain how the game is played
😂😂😂 learning how to play should be an individual adventure that someone takes
My only thought is HOW DOES HE KEEPS ROLLING SO LOW HE NEEDS A NEW DICE
Seeing this make me very happy that I knew a fair bit about the game before I ever played, even though my first character was also a dragonborn sorcerer, and I had to ask some questions about certain mechanics, I ended up being one of the better players at that table
He knew what roll with advantage means 🤔
Ah, it's always fun witnessing a DnD player's first steps into the game
The D12 be hitting hard. XD
0:38 --> That face!
All of us who have seen the One Shot Qampaigns know, where he got the inspiration for the video from.
My new players always end up going to jail, though it's never part of the plan.
Now I learned something from dnd
False? FALSE?! But that was your best selling point! What's the point of a kingdom without a dragon!
Are we not gonna address that NATURAL 1 ON THE HIGH FIVE!?!?!?!?!?
Is that thing on the background the triforce?
Me teaching any rpg to newbies. You have no idea how long it took to teach the Dune RPG, rewiring their brains that low is good. So funny XD
As a somewhat veteran of DND, there is nothing more infuriating than watching a newborn player trying to figure out how DND works cause my God. We stood at the same place for a single hour. We didn’t leave the start because this player was just asking so many questions about what he should do.
perfect timing - going through this this weekend 😂
I'm suprised he knew what advantage is xD
My first dnd character was a Dragonborn sorcerer 💀💀
as a guy that's been GMing for a couple years now, I still share the new guy's confusion. All the modifiers in 5e are just silly.
I was hoping that all rolls were made with 1d4
I would say I'm like still relatively new to D&D
But like if you like watch D&D content like every now and then you should get the hang of it very quickly
Actually I think that where to put your attributes and your modifiers is a big concern.
I knew it! I could tell it was a d12 when he said he found the d20!
Always actively help your new players in person. :-P
Wait! Is it a reference to one of you from One Shot Campains accidentaly using d12 instead of d20, failing the check and crushing the NPC's leg under a rock? I don't remember wich one of you was it XD
My very first session was last week with my bf as the DM. Towards the end, my character was unconscious and I had to roll for Death Saves. My first roll was a 1. Just before my next roll my bf said “just don’t roll another 1”… what do you think happened? That’s right, I immediately rolled another 1. I died. In my very first session. My bf was astounded at my terrible luck. He sighed and said we can do some rule bending to bring me back for the next session cuz I spent way too much time and effort creating my character for her to die in the first session 😅
I’m disappointed with the lack of Yahtzee in this D&D video
This feels so recogniseable to me playing my first game
I've always wanted to play D&D, but I never know where to start or where to play :")
thats gonna be me one day if i ever choose to play dungeon and dragons
This was what it felt like teaching my mom XD
The plot twist of d12!
Did anyone else read the PHB before playing for the first time, or was that just me?
Hopefully it will go better than this when I teach my sister 😅
how did the new player know what advantage is
3:30 bruh moment
Guy has -1 strength as a dragon born I don't think he understood charecter creation
Imagine the pain of someone playing DND in a different language. Translating all the details of spells and abilities as well. (No less fun though)
Way to end it!! XD
oof that ad aged... "well"
Oh god they still do this after like almost 20 sessions lol
To be fair to the new meat, even experienced D&D players make that mistake from time to time.
This is going to be me
Newbie: I made fireball my main attack.
Jocat: I taught him well.
XP to Level 3 laughing maniacally
Use fireball and only fireball. JUST FIREBALL. *JUST FIREBALL.*
I mean, there’s no problem a well placed fireball can’t fix
@@KasaiRayquaza What about magic missile for the darkness?
Actually, Jocrap
When he said that the die had a 20 on it, I thought he was going to use the percentile dice and get like an 82 on insight.
I thought exactly the same thing
@@lapispyrite6645 me as well
what kind of newbie could figure out d100?
@@ShonicBurn I believe they are talking about the D10 that has 10, 20, 30, etc.. on it. As in rolling it on it's own because it has the number 20 on it ^^
@@keithrogers6876 yes, but then he would have 80, not 82
If he had both the 80 and the 2 in it, that means they figured out the d100
