Shout out to all of the fans who came to help make this video possible!! It wouldn't have turned out as great without your skill, improv, and energy! Give them a huge round of applause 👏
You can make a blood donation to the Blood Angels Sanquinarium IN THE NAME OF THE GOD-EMPEROR OF MANKIND AND PRIMARCH SANQUINIUS. (Note: you must only donate blood free of mutations, Chaos or Xenos corruption. Donating impure blood is considered heresy and is punished by cleansing fire.)
Omg I have one of those at my table lol. We've been playing different campaigns together for like 4 years now, and without fail they always forget that their Fighter has more then one attack per round.
Tbf some of us legitimately have memory issues from age or illness. One of my meds has really destroyed my memory and I am this person now-- I vacillate by the day whether I remember this stuff or not. Made it especially hard to DM but thankfully my group was forgiving. Plus I had a pair of rules lawyers so I basically hired 'em to work for the house. 😏
@@ABnoobat I appreciate game stores that sell snacks. I would feel guilty sitting down to a 3 hour game session in my FLGS and taking up space without buying something but I don't always need new dice or a book or something.
We have a painter at the local comic book shop (also the game shop). He’s a nice guy and always has a few extra minis or terrains and let’s the random kids who come in to the shop paint with him while he works on his own work too. I know he is a game master but I believe he runs his games more privately at either his house or one of his players’ places. He mostly just comes into the shop, from what I can tell, to work on painting the set and minis. It’s relaxing to sit around him and work on ones own work too if needed. No one but the kids interact back there but wherever he sets up is where other people working on stuff congregate because of this relaxed work vibe lol. Thought I would just share.
That guy is a dime a dozen. You just need to know where to look and live in more rural areas. The only other time I find really chill people is when I travel around. No fuss, no drama, no politics, just people vibing with their hobby.
I was the lonely DM once, for less than one night. That was about ten years ago, and my group (though I'm not the DM anymore) is still holding (mostly) consistent weekly sessions! We even had a session last night!
The thing that really sells this skit is how when he changed from chanting D&D to Pathfinder, everyone is smiling and giving thumbs ups. We always welcome those who have seen the light.
Not at all! It's just that a lot of 5es criticisms are fixed or non existent in PF2E. Although 5e is still a decent game so please don't feel bad for playing. Just don't give your money to WOTC as they shouldn't be trusted anymore
@@nyetnyetcykablyat9483if I give any of my money to them it’s for a one-time purchase of a book, then it’s mine and I can use it as long as I want, no subscription or bs
Meh. Most of my problems with DnD are shared by PF2E, and while it isn't for OGL reasons, Paizo isn't much less scummy than WotC/Hasbro, in my opinion. I hear first edition Pathfinder would be more up my alley, but I've got so many projects (both inside and out of TTRPGs) on the backburner that I haven't gotten around to checking it out yet, and frankly, if I do, I'd rather not give Paizo my money (if they happen to sell it still), so I intend to go all second-hand with it, when I do.
I was at a comic and pop culture expo this year, and I was a DM at one of the tables and I had a free one shot where anyone could join. The first group quit half way through. I sat there for maybe 3 hours and was sad, thinking I wasn’t a good DM. As I was starting to pack up a whole family showed up and some other people and asked if I was available. I was like “Ofc. We can get started now” I had everything prepared, including premade characters for anyone that didn’t want to or couldn’t make their own. We completed the whole one shot and everyone left the table thanking me for a great game and saying they had a lot of fun. That made the wait worth it and made my day. 😊
I have been playing, Running and World Building since 84. I would just like to thank you for giving so many people so many chances to be a part of TTRPG’s, Your Awesome! Game On!
As someone who is currently working on their own system, I can relate to the own system stereotype. My system is called For Hearth and Home, and it is entirely themed around dwarves.
Unfortunately, I think I am the "Lonely DM" type. I've always wanted to play DnD (and other games), and would buy the kits/books and miniatures, yet was never "cool enough" to join others. Now that I am disabled, well, thank Hades for video games. I still build terrain and kitbash for fun.
Same here, including the disabled part. I still collect and learn systems, mostly because I actually really like rule books and text books and such, but the only time I play I do solo, which just isn't the same. Especially since one of my personal favorites is PTU, which is kind of crunchy, and even just playing as a single player involves managing a minimum of two characters. In other words, managing any combat encounters means managing a large number of characters that have tons of math to keep track of, so the most simple of encounters when soloing against yourself takes an absurd amount of time. Video games definitely help fill the void, though.
@@Sin_Alder PTU? Can you explain or spell that out so I can look into it. As for the rest, yes, video games help immensely. I credit Borderlands 2 for me still being here. What I hate is the condescending "Well you can just play DnD online." Well, yes, perhaps, but how do you explain the physical and mental drain to someone ablebodied? From the jokes and the memes about organizing game night, if it is so hard to get 6 people to play on one night now try adding in someone who may not be able to plan even their daily schedule due to constant changes. Just so aggravating.
I love getting to see all of you guys from my local game store. It was super cool to get to see you all using the books I donated in the skit as well! Loved the video.
I appreciate your accurate depiction of the largest group of TTRPG stereotypes: The invisible individuals that struggle to find local stores that offer drop in drop out game options for singles who don't have existing groups to play with. Maybe I just have bad luck but I see a lot more "hosting existing community" events. When you specify events for singles not existing groups basically all the results disappear. But eh... just my experience.
Then you have me that was playing a D&D campaign set in the Warhammer Universe. I was playing a Minotaur Warlock of Tzeentch that was a vehicle for seeing how much chaos I could create without crossing the line with the other players.
Loved this. I've DEFINITELY been the equipment bringer. Only ones I can think of that I would add would be the DM that makes everything they can from scratch, like the DM screen, minis, maps, and stuff. And the totally unprepared DM, who doesn't make or bring anything, who drew the map with whatever was around on the back of whatever paper they had around, uses whatever they have at hand for minis, and only has their rulebooks and dice as apps on their phone that they forgot to charge. I've been both.
window shoppers are a thing too. Only going to the shop to look at the actual minis before buying them online or making proxies. Proxy players vs official setup (including the equipment on the mini matching the data) would also be a good juxtaposition.
4:06 Duke, you know about Blood Bowl? That's awesome, I didn't know that! I am a BB player myself and it's my second favorite game (Below TTRPGs, of course).
Guy throwing out cards like he was dealing poker. Who uses the cards except for "out there random" tournament sets? Still, nice to see Blood Bowl in there.
That ending hits hard, i almost expected a bunch of people to pat him on the back consolingly and offer other options. That said, im still reading all yhe pathfinder rules and studying up how to make the critters in that system.
Comment for the algorithm! The camera work in this is really nice, it kept surprising me - and the flow of the overall narrative was very well-executed!!
That D&D chap seems like a man of culture, I like the cut of his jib. He seems 100% accurate in everything he says and does. Everyone else is just crazy.
Same. I work in a boardgame store, and so many people come in, and greet me like I know them, and they start to tell their stories, and I just smile and nod and ask: so do you want to pay with cash or card? XD
The eternal noob, the forever getting phonecalls guy and the dice magpie (the guy who always wants to show you his new dice cause there "shiny shiny" then rolls 1s all night) would all make great additions but this had me in hysterics laughing
As a solid board gamer, hard agree, I cannot do theatre of the mind. It's alright for simple Melee and ranged fighting, but my first campaign using it I had built a control focused bard, and it took 20 minutes to get across to the DM how I wanted my Stinking Cloud placed.
4:37 I see that 3.5 Planer handbook in the background there. It’s been ages since I’ve seen a 3.5 book at a shop. I usually have to buy mine on Amazon now.
The ‘Lonely DM’ is not one I’m familiar with. Where I live, there’s so many people who want to play and so few willing to DM that anyone who even mentions that they might run a game immediately gets swarmed by people asking about it

Great job to the OSQtv community for this great video! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Great job everyone! Turned out great!

Fun fact, there was actually a dnd ogl update while we filmed that last scene
That’s hilarious!
Nailed it!
If the channel start to create Pathfinder-related videos, it will be a great joy.
"PATHFINDER'S THE BEST!" 🤣
What’s the OGL update?
Dang, us 40k players could donate kidneys instead?! Wish I knew that before I ordered my world eaters
Does it have to be our own though? Asking for a... who am I kidding? I got no friends, asking for myself.

@@zoesequeira5388 Hey, you don't need both, right? I could use some space Drow.
@RoseKindred no friends. Not anymore......
Forgot "the eternal noob". No matter how many times they play they always ask "so what do I do?"
Omg I have one of those at my table lol. We've been playing different campaigns together for like 4 years now, and without fail they always forget that their Fighter has more then one attack per round.
Hahaha sounds like our party's monk
I have a friend who is this for everything. We once played over a half dozen sessions before he realized he had never added modifiers to his rolls.

They forgot to show up in the video. By the time they remembered, filming was done
Ok, as a former MTG player, I SCREAM & RUN if i see 'the foodie' come near any of those tables!!
As an mtg player yes exactly the only exception is if everybody has sleeved cards and it’s dry and not sticky
@@masonmalo1471 I wipe down my kitchen table everytime before playing. My sleeves will be in pristine condition!
TFW the Spaghetti Monster isn't just a D&D BBEG, but a PC.
@@masonmalo1471 And that there is no water or liquid, this shit can infiltrate the sleeves !
Yea. Don’t come near my deck with that food.
The foodie had me physically cringing and in pain. All that mess.. all over the board...... AAAAARRRGGGHHH!
He even scared me, and I don't even have a game shop in my town and usually play online!
@@LontEnCaras same. Never saw one of those
I "had" to clean soup and beans off his dice and dice tray
@@loganlazarus5644 what do you mean by "had"?
i died a little inside asjdhasdakd
As someone who works at a game store, this is very accurate
Same!
Is "The store user" real?
@@ABnoobat absolutely. My work even has a bowl of random dice for people to borrow now.
Man your lucky they don’t even have these things where I’m from and if they did idk where to go

We have a painter at the local comic book shop (also the game shop). He’s a nice guy and always has a few extra minis or terrains and let’s the random kids who come in to the shop paint with him while he works on his own work too. I know he is a game master but I believe he runs his games more privately at either his house or one of his players’ places. He mostly just comes into the shop, from what I can tell, to work on painting the set and minis. It’s relaxing to sit around him and work on ones own work too if needed.

I strive to be this guy
That guy is a dime a dozen. You just need to know where to look and live in more rural areas. The only other time I find really chill people is when I travel around. No fuss, no drama, no politics, just people vibing with their hobby.
As a mini painter, I will verify that brushes are, in fact, our friends.
Yup. Only problem is that I'm forgetful and I have a few thousand friends and most of them are hospitalized because of that
I love the Lonely DM in the background while the Roleplayers were coming in
I felt targeted by multiple of the stereotypes in this, but the lonely DM one hit the hardest. 😭
I was the lonely DM once, for less than one night. That was about ten years ago, and my group (though I'm not the DM anymore) is still holding (mostly) consistent weekly sessions! We even had a session last night!
The thing that really sells this skit is how when he changed from chanting D&D to Pathfinder, everyone is smiling and giving thumbs ups. We always welcome those who have seen the light.
I guess I’m seeing the light because I’m trying to play Pathfinder. Tho does that mean I’m wrong for playing D&D?
Not at all! It's just that a lot of 5es criticisms are fixed or non existent in PF2E. Although 5e is still a decent game so please don't feel bad for playing. Just don't give your money to WOTC as they shouldn't be trusted anymore

5:35 literally happened to my entire friend group
Literally happened to everyone in January 🤣
@critcrab Ugh, your channel, your content and your fanbase are so toxic. 🤢 🤮
MASTER CRAB
I'm the equipment bringer. You forgot the part where you spill your coffee on the way in because no one wants to carry the six bags you have XD
Wow the production value for this video is insane! Great work!
Warhammer players aren't hurt by rising gas prices, we already pay $100 a tank :,)
Haha 😂

where they took out the kidney?
@@El-Rico kidney? I'm on to bone marrow.
I hear some did a walter white and is now making and selling meth.

Been waiting for this since filming last month, everyone I know has been asking about it
This’ll be great!
Update: it was great. We need more location shoots.
I am not saying i agree because being an extra was fun... But i do agree
is one of them the guy who only buys miniatures to paint because no one in the area plays any games so he talks to them? asking for a friend
😂 That expression after receiving the notification was hilariously priceless.
That was excellent. I love the format and all the other people involved. Everyone looked like they were having a lot of fun
I'm the Needs everything... hubby is making his own system... annnnd the ending was GOLD!!!
I like how they start agreeing with the D&D enthusiast the moment he switches to Pathfinder 😂
1:15 the "Oh Shit I forgot something" face is PERFECT and you can see it in slow motion.

dude your face give me joy. I can already tell this will be a banger from the thumbnail
Warhammer AND Pathfinder in the Video? Today is a good day
Space Wolves and Night Lords main here: that 40k one is more accurate than I'm proud to admit
You can definitely see the change the change in quality and I love it

So wait, there are people that don't look like Duke in his skitverse?
As a person who has played or knows about those games this was well done.
The second I saw ogl 1.1 I knew he was going to switch to pathfinder lol
As soon as I saw there was text on both sides of the sign.
This was actually filmed back in January, there was an update on the ogl as we filmed that scene
Then you have me that was playing a D&D campaign set in the Warhammer Universe. I was playing a Minotaur Warlock of Tzeentch that was a vehicle for seeing how much chaos I could create without crossing the line with the other players.
Honestly, one of your best videos and arguably the best video you have made on your channel
I love that you're trying new angles to create videos, keep up the good work!

Picturing the set up and how this video works in the store. Just that thought is hilarious to me
I'm not so much the lonely DM type, more the lonely player type.
The hands covered in food on the white shirt just caused pure anger and irritation. And then the spill..... AHHH
As the 40k, painter and equipment player. I feel attacked.
Pathfinder is indeed the best
"Does it have to be my kidney?"
Spoken like a true Warhammer player.
i am so happy to see pathfinder receiving some love
All the 40k was super relatable
You forgot "burned out ex-dm" the "dice goblin" and the " discount demon".
"Does it have to be my kidney?"
