I was the 1000th like exactly! And you already reached your stretch goal! Just goes to show how popular you guys are, and how hungry people are for content from you and this content in general. Love you guys, keep it up! Woohoo!
Man, that $350 dollar collectors box was a hard sell, but the stone dice and the pure desire to support you guys pushed me over the edge. Good work, guys.
@@WebDM can't wait to check it out, I want a psion so bad (hard to play darksun without one) but I don't want a sorc with "mind powers" I was a new mechanic like it was in 2e
Backed! I used to love, love, love Dark Sun in AD&D 2nd Ed, and after reading the Kickstarter I came away with major Dark Sun vibes. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but I love it!
Yeah I'm hopping on the Weird Wasteland train this week for sure. You guys have given me so much top quality D&D content for YEARS now, so I know I'll be getting a great product. Take. My. Money.
WebDM: Spends time bringing an in depth analysis of the failures and shortcomings of current corporate DND also WebDM: puts in the hard work to actually do something about it
Congrats guys! Been watching the channel for years at this point and wish you all the best with the new content you’re putting out. I will definitely be picking up a copy for myself!
i have been watching you two for a few years now, so I watched the 2min video on the page before watching this and already backed it, your videos have made me a better DM so now i can add even more of your stuff into my games. thank you.
It has been an honor to be a part of this wonderful community and support these projects, I have learned a dragon’s hoard of treasure in knowledge about D&D from watching Jim and Pruitt! Thank you with all my heart for all the growth and joy you all have brought to the TTRPG world!!!
Love it! I can see these new sub-classes and rules not only used in the Dark Sun setting but they may also synergize well with the 'Ultraviolet Grasslands' or the 'Black Void' settings. The possibilities would be endless. So I'll be waiting to see it's release. You guys rock!
I've been steadily gravitating towards a post-apocalyptic feel with many of my homebrew settings I've dreamt up in the past few years, I'm very excited to hopefully get a copy and see the awesome stuff you guys have come up with!
It's hard to believe that this is your first book. You've been influencing my DMing techniques for years now. And I love that this book seems to be my favorite TYPE of supplemental book, which is a book that is easy to pick apart and use as a toolkit of ideas, resources, and systems.
Jim, Pruitt, as soon as I found out you guys started a Kickstarter, I backed it. You guys have been at this for so long and have been a much needed voice of sensibility and relatability in the larger D&D community. My pledge to your Kickstarter is my way of saying “Thank you, and keep it up!”
I’m so happy for you guys and Emma! Your content has been invaluable for years and it’s nothing short of fantasy to have access to a book from all your great minds! And it’s already fully funded! Here’s to you!
I love the pitch for this book. Rather than presenting your homebrew setting for other people to learn, this set of guides allows groups to create their own setting on the same themes. This is how settings should be presented. Once again, Web DM presents practical guides to get you playing right away. Love it.
Congrats on the launch! It is the journey. What is likely the most successful fantasy story of all time is based on a journey. I can feel Thundarr the Barbarian, Taarna the Taarakian, and more with this toolkit.
Backed, so excited for the group that has influenced a majority of my tabletop philosophy, both as a player and as a gm, to finally be doin' a supplement! All the best to ya, and thanks for providing such quality inspiration, and guidance with such consistency.
Backed! You have given me so much content for free. It was a matter of respect and honour to support you on your first book. Also I am sure the book will be awesome. Love to have a 5E post-apocalypse environment at hand.
Super excited about the Psion being an all day workhorse. Really can set them apart from just another kind of caster. I would love to see WebDM Plays do some streams featuring class/subclasses from this book.
I backed your Kickstarter before watching this video. Watching this video has taught me that my trust was well founded. Sounds great. P.S. >400% backed within the first day?!? Go WebDemons!!!! (like the whole fandom; not just the Patreons)
Believe it or not. I have been listening to you for the past year (while living in Japan) and designed my world which is a combination of He-man, sci-fi time travel through soul magic, and Numenera. This book of yours will fit in perfectly! Thus I thank you for the passion and your hard work gentlemen! :D I am buying your book with pleasure!
I don't always agree with you guys, but I have to say that I tend to enjoy your perspective and ideas much more than I do most of the other D&D TH-camrs. You two always seem to have given things a lot more careful thought than the rest ever do. Not sure if I'll be able to get in on the Kickstarter, but if I can, I will. This seems like a pretty worthy addition to any group's arsenal.
Can safely say im more than satisfied and happy with wierd wastelands. Ive insfused it with elements from numenera that has completely transformed the storm kings thunder campaign i had been working on. Ive had a chance to play using thw character options and wow, what you've done with the subclasses is superb! Its everything i could of ever wanted from a supplement, just cause i love high strangeness alone
Great video!! 3 comments; 1. Super excited for this book! I have been working on a Western game for a bit and Wilderness exploration has been on my mid a lot 2. So happy that this video really feels like you have re-found your place after Travis left/ probably Covid fatigue. (Completly understandable when you loose a party member and someone new joins the table it takes a bit to readjust) 3. A Stinger!!!! Please keep the Stinger, it just makes every video.
As an aspiring DM, the pillar of play that I've always wanted to focus is exploration. Which the setting I imagined up was a high magic setting that focused on transmutation, and their downfall was caused by overextending and making a super Tarrasque that ended them.
Our goal with Worlds of Web DM series is to shore up the Exploration pillar in many ways. For Weird Wastelands, wilderness exploration, travel, and resource management are what we think fits the most. For others, we'll look at other aspects that need support!
Back in the days of 3rd edition and 3.5 I bought a lot of random splat books and the like based almost entirely on whether or not one of the dozen prestige classes in those books jumped out at me. Now in the days of 5th edition, I look at my D&D shelves and I take note of which 3.5 books are still useful in 5e as encounter and exploration inspiration and aids. Just about all the prestige classes are only useful for brain storming thematic reflavors of existing 5e classes. About 1 in every 500 feats might be translatable from 3.5 to 5e. Maybe. What is useful in 5e are the monster lore books with lair maps like draconomomicon, libre mortis, and lords of madness, the various monster manuals, and the environment theme books. Stormwrack, Frostburn, and Sandstorm are among my most useful older books for those times when I have to throw a bunch of curve balls at my players. If the party boards a ship or joins a merchant caravan and I say "You travel for six weeks and nothing happens." then I've failed. I am thrilled that the WebDM team is putting together a tool box book that will stand tall alongside the most useful wilderness encounter and exploration books on my shelf.
i checked out the free preview of the book and its pretty solid so far. The magicore (magic-eating manticore) was really neat and felt like a real monster vs just a bag of hitpoints like most 5e monsters.
Book looks cool! I can’t get past Pruitt looking at an angle in the pandemic setup though. I like the setup! Just find it funny he seems to be looking at the castle tower the whole time hahaha
26:00 i like the idea that not every encounter is designed for the party. i like dungeons where all the signs on the wall say "do not open this door or you will die" and see if they want to fomo open the door to fight something WAYYYY above their CR. lol. DM's rarely do that anymore. I want to put the FEAR back into the wasteland. haha
I feel like this book is perfect for my desert campaign, I was thinking about destroying the desert with an elemental cataclysm to make it more interesting but I didn't know where to start.
I'm a little worried that you guys broke into my planning notes and made a book specifically for my upcoming campaign. Jokes aside, this looks perfect for what I'm planning! I can't wait!
Which is much content is you guys talk about I'm surprised this is your first book. That being said it was an easy sell considering you guys are giving me years of free content and ideas I am excited for this
Immediately I'm seeing Sergio Leone scorched earth with extreme, sweaty close-ups and hearing Ennio Morricone moments before some deformed highway man makes his play
My first virtual DM was Chris Perkins. My nitty gritty virtual DM was Jim Davis. Been watching since the early days and would be churlish not to back this. Go make your dreams reality guys and keep it punderful.
Hey I don't know if yall are answering questions on older vids still but I really liked how u said in ur Tasha video that 5e lacks alot of ways for dungeon masters to challenge players and the core books haven't really given dungeon masters a toolset to deal with the subclass power creep. Will your book come with a toolbox a dungeon master can use to properly challenge and test players ?
Well I do love a post apocalyptic wasteland, I did want to run a borderlands/fallout style game sometime after my current campaign finished, and I do get paid tomorrow
I really want to get Planet Apocalypse for D&D 5e by Peterson Games to go along with this book. Play your apocalypse and then live through the repercussions of the post-apocalypse.

Thank you for watching! Here's the link to the project: www.kickstarter.com/projects/webdm/worlds-of-web-dm-weird-wastelands
Looks like it's already hit its goal, well done lads.
I was the 1000th like exactly! And you already reached your stretch goal! Just goes to show how popular you guys are, and how hungry people are for content from you and this content in general.
Love you guys, keep it up! Woohoo!
Man, that $350 dollar collectors box was a hard sell, but the stone dice and the pure desire to support you guys pushed me over the edge. Good work, guys.
Update, they've already reached their goal and over by 28,000...i love this community
So do we. Thank you so much.
All the stretch goals are on track to be unlocked by the end of the day. Absolutely bonkers.
Looks like all the stretch goals will be reached. I'm curious if there'll be more added? Love this community, excited for it's future!
Over 100k
I cannot wait to get my hands on the book
they really said "we`ll do it ourselves" in regard to the psion class.
We really did!
@@WebDM can't wait to check it out, I want a psion so bad (hard to play darksun without one) but I don't want a sorc with "mind powers" I was a new mechanic like it was in 2e
Just like Thanos...
@@WebDM So monumentally happy
Just grabbed the $350 pledge. Been watching since the early days, real proud of you all at WebDM!
Thank you so much!
you had me at "When an evil sun burns with the octarine glow of oblivion?"
Gotta love those shared inspirations!
That's just Dark Sun.....YES!
BEST 5e SUPPLEMENT EVER! I say that with full confidence as I read the PDF and prep for my Wasteland game.
You guys have been dreaming of that psion class for years
We really have
To dream the impossible dream....
@@JPruinc Took me right back to college choir.
To fiiight the unbeatable foooe
Please include a martial version of the psion class!!!
The only ones for the job too 🙌🙌🙌
Backed! I used to love, love, love Dark Sun in AD&D 2nd Ed, and after reading the Kickstarter I came away with major Dark Sun vibes. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but I love it!
We are the sum of our inspirations, and some inspirations loom larger than others.
@@JPruinc Well said!
Yeah I'm hopping on the Weird Wasteland train this week for sure. You guys have given me so much top quality D&D content for YEARS now, so I know I'll be getting a great product. Take. My. Money.

Flavor, man, all about flavor. One of my favorite eras in DnD history is the fall of the Thay, Imaskari, and etc era, this feels like that. Backed.
It has been an honor to be a part of this wonderful community and support these projects, I have learned a dragon’s hoard of treasure in knowledge about D&D from watching Jim and Pruitt!
Thank you with all my heart for all the growth and joy you all have brought to the TTRPG world!!!
Holy crap! 11am est the day of launch and already double your goal! Great job guys. Glad to support it.
Glad for the support! It's all a bit overwhelming.
Love it! I can see these new sub-classes and rules not only used in the Dark Sun setting but they may also synergize well with the 'Ultraviolet Grasslands' or the 'Black Void' settings. The possibilities would be endless.
So I'll be waiting to see it's release. You guys rock!
I've been steadily gravitating towards a post-apocalyptic feel with many of my homebrew settings I've dreamt up in the past few years, I'm very excited to hopefully get a copy and see the awesome stuff you guys have come up with!
It's hard to believe that this is your first book. You've been influencing my DMing techniques for years now.
And I love that this book seems to be my favorite TYPE of supplemental book, which is a book that is easy to pick apart and use as a toolkit of ideas, resources, and systems.
Thank you! This is definitely our favorite type of book too!
30 seconds into the video, I paused and backed. Excited about this one!
Thank you Hamilton!
Jim, Pruitt, as soon as I found out you guys started a Kickstarter, I backed it. You guys have been at this for so long and have been a much needed voice of sensibility and relatability in the larger D&D community. My pledge to your Kickstarter is my way of saying “Thank you, and keep it up!”
🤞Cant wait for it to hit 100k! Super excited to see the livestream!!
Thanks! We'll see you there!
I’m so happy for you guys and Emma! Your content has been invaluable for years and it’s nothing short of fantasy to have access to a book from all your great minds! And it’s already fully funded! Here’s to you!

Goal reached and we keep going! Let's take this one as far as it'll go
Super happy for all of you, thanks for entertaining us for all these years. I've never backed a Kickstarter until now. Really looking forward to it.
Thank you!
Awesome! Just backed the project. Have been watching you for years. So Glad to support you guys for all the inspiration you have given to my games.
Thank you Patrick!
Thanks for the kind words!
Congrats on the launch! It is the journey. What is likely the most successful fantasy story of all time is based on a journey. I can feel Thundarr the Barbarian, Taarna the Taarakian, and more with this toolkit.
You are absolutely right! The destination will be there when we get there, we gotta deal with this journey right now!!!
First thing I did when I loaded this vid just now was ctrl+F "Thundarr" just to make sure someone mentioned it
Great work, excited to get to use the tools yall cooked up!
Thank you Logan!
With this book you'll have proficiency with those tools!
Wow! The topics in this book cover a lot of my personal wishlist! BACKING!!!
Never backed a kickstarter so quick in my life.
Thank you Jeremy!
Backed, so excited for the group that has influenced a majority of my tabletop philosophy, both as a player and as a gm, to finally be doin' a supplement! All the best to ya, and thanks for providing such quality inspiration, and guidance with such consistency.
Congratulations!!! So excited! Already loved the preview and have already backed. So pumped for y’all and for the book!!!

Found this out through Nerdarchy, backed some 25 seconds later. Looks amazing!
Backed! You have given me so much content for free. It was a matter of respect and honour to support you on your first book.
Also I am sure the book will be awesome. Love to have a 5E post-apocalypse environment at hand.
Thank you!!
Up to 168k already.
Nice job, WebDM community.
“Situation in stasis “ is gold. Sounds good guys
Many of the best adventures start with a problem coming out of stasis...
Super excited about the Psion being an all day workhorse. Really can set them apart from just another kind of caster. I would love to see WebDM Plays do some streams featuring class/subclasses from this book.
Jonathan: "Jim, what is this book? Why are we doing this book?"
Jim: "Yeah!"
Wow, the kickstarter is already close to tripling their goal of $18,000 with 30 days to go. Well deserved, congrats guys
Thank you Don!
You've been providing us with amazing resources for all this time. I'm definitely supporting this project and I wish you guys the best for this book.
Thank you, William!

ROLL INITIATIVE!!!
I feel like this book is perfect for my desert campaign, I was thinking about destroying the desert with an elemental cataclysm to make it more interesting but I didn't know where to start.
I'm a little worried that you guys broke into my planning notes and made a book specifically for my upcoming campaign.
Jokes aside, this looks perfect for what I'm planning! I can't wait!
These ideas are all so evocative! 🤘☢️🤯
Which is much content is you guys talk about I'm surprised this is your first book. That being said it was an easy sell considering you guys are giving me years of free content and ideas I am excited for this
lmfao they are almost 400% funded. congrats yall, cant wait to see the book. sounds great.
Finally a strength based monk and rogue. All the apocalypse stuff sounds great too but man something challenging dex supremacy is so exciting
We agree!!
Immediately I'm seeing Sergio Leone scorched earth with extreme, sweaty close-ups and hearing Ennio Morricone moments before some deformed highway man makes his play
Heck yeah!
My first virtual DM was Chris Perkins. My nitty gritty virtual DM was Jim Davis. Been watching since the early days and would be churlish not to back this. Go make your dreams reality guys and keep it punderful.
Thank you!
The add-on add-on is the most Web DM thing I've ever seen.
It's a nice tidbit!
Dudes I got obsessed with the wierd wastelands with that alchemical sump I love environmental tool kits
Sweet! Thank you! Lots more to come!

"Thundarr the Barbarian" is good for inspiration.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Well this is going right into the game inventory :D
Well I do love a post apocalyptic wasteland, I did want to run a borderlands/fallout style game sometime after my current campaign finished, and I do get paid tomorrow
It's fate!
Seems like a deal, absolutely....Darth Jeromii
These boys don't realise their own potential with this channel!
Great book idea! I'll support it however I'm able to, I can't yet, but I'll find something so that I can in these next 31 days.
Received! Very awesome.
I really want to get Planet Apocalypse for D&D 5e by Peterson Games to go along with this book. Play your apocalypse and then live through the repercussions of the post-apocalypse.

Good luck! Sounds interesting.
I'm glad to see someone else got hustled by the blue light filter scam. Sorry Pruitt
