Cool stuff, though I really believe that the idea of 'moves' is really confining and winds up with too much reading. The book is really creative though...fun stuff
Honestly, the DM advice is my favourite part of that book. If you're a brand new DM, you could do far worse than using this game as a learning tool and then taking those lessons to other games.
This is the "powered by the apocalypse" system. This is specifically their answer to dnd that's why it has the dnd vibe. They have many other games that are not at all dnd like.
I have run this game several times as well as apocalypse world which is its inspiration. This system is great for really experienced players or newbies. The middle ground people or numbers crunchers seem to have trouble adjusting. The thing about the kraken is that in the "fiction" typically you can't just walk up and smack the kraken. It will involve using your head to even prove you can hurt it. Long story short, Great review and this system is awesome.
Great video! Just found your channel and am absolutely loving it. Just decided to quit reading my RPG books and start DMing. Decided to start with Dungeon World and Tiny Dungeon. Also, love your dice! They're my favorite Chessex set (if they are the ones that I'm thinking) and I have the 12mm d6s. Wish I had some of that mead! Nectar of the gods, indeed!
Dungeon world was my first experience in a true RPG and now I use it as a way to bring friends into it... Its such a fun game that relies heavily on the DM and really allows newer players to learn the basics without getting into spellsaves and prodiciency and such and leaves stuff down to just straight rolls with your 9 basic stats. Armor comes down to just "reduce damage by X" If you are looking for a simple game that focuses on player engagement, creativity, and roleplay... Dungeon World is for you.
The worst thing about the game is the layout. Huge blocks a text, few illustrations. My biggest gripe is the organization of the monster section. They aren’t alphabetical, the are by category, so good luck finding anything.
I'm really interested in this system, but i would love to see how the mechanics work with a group fighting a group in actual play. All the demos I've seen is just one hero against monster(s)
Too funny man. You have great reviews. Very intelligent and thought out, while managing to not bore me to death. You should really look in to contacting some of these companies for some loot to review and possibly fund some giveaways for your channel.
I thought too, you should consult the creators on downsides for a second edition. One can tell from this review that you have great game design skills. As proven in your own book obviously.
Agreed. I actually *like* that it gives you all the tropes, monsters, and conventions of D&D without any of the unnecessary math and other fiddly bits.
Kings are always portraited as fat because a lot were haha Interesting tid bit though, In the middle ages when they didn't have any real knowledge about nutrition they treated vegetables as peasant food so lords & kings would eat a lot meat, poultry, cheese etc but very little vegetables because of it, gout was a really common problem among richer people
I love your channel. A quick note about the "no initiative" being chaos comment. It really isn't. In DnD you don't have initiative during roleplaying segments. Nobody takes specific initiative-driven turns talking to the blacksmith or the tavern keeper. It happens naturally, each person gets their turn just like a normal conversation. Its exactly the same thing but combat. I thought it wouldn't work either, but it totally does.
omg, after 3 years watching your videos it just comes to my mind you actually have a "cameraman". POW! mind-blowing :O That says something about the presenter.
10:33 "They came up with amazing original mechanic" - No, they didn't. Dungeon World is a D&D-fied copy of Vincent Baker's Apocalypse World. He's the genius behind it all. Check out AW and his others games, e.g. Poison'd and Dogs in the Vineyard.
Drunkens & Dragons: Play D&D Like a Badass Vincent is a chill guy so I suppose all these copies are sanctioned. The most known published ones include Night Witches (you play as the historical female fighter pilots), Tremulus (Cthulhu investigators), Monsterhearts (you play as teenage monsters), but there's literally at least one hundred other AW hacks. I recommend studying/playing the original because it started all this. It's a postapocalyptic game - a bit like Mad Max meets Deadwood. Poison'd is also great for its gripping character generation and escalating conflict resolution. You play as pirates, and your captain has just been killed. Someone has to be the captain, and if you lose a conflict, you can escalate to worse and worse violence..
Great game. Great review. The only bad point of the game is the refusal of the creators to allow for a Print on Demand COLOR VERSION of the book. I asked twice over a year period and they just come up with lame excuses. Too bad, considering the color .pdf is awesome.
This is the first video of yours I have seen and I am a drunk DM. I have purchased one of the 4 remaining books on amazon. I hope it's good. looking forward to a good review.
So, I added a couple more systems to my collection.(thanks to your recommendations) DW and DCC. First, DCC is worth the price just for the nostalgia and KILLER artwork! DCC is a really fun book and perfect for when you're just wanting to dish out some pig-in-a-poke (it's on YOU) chart rolls! Now, DW...it's just AWESOME! I've been designing and revamping my own systems for decades. Fighting the age-old battle....character versatility vs simplicity. IMO, DW makes a pretty darn good stab at it! I just started a new group....hadn't played in a long time. Half of the group was completely new to PnP RPGs, so I decided to use that as an excuse to purchase most of the 5e books and give it a shot. I've haven't been satisfied with an RPG system in years, however, 5e is "available" and easy for everyone to obtain. The books are great, with a lot of positive points...I think they'll function as great reference books regardless of the system used. However, it takes a lot of focus and guidance to keep "macro-incremented" systems from going to the "repetitious bland zone".(it certainly can be done...it's just clunky and cumbersome). I know that you've incorporated lots of various elements into your own play, DW included. Have you attempted to use the "Three outcome" system with d20's? It would "appear" that much of DW (even the mechanics) could be converted to 5e/d20? The idea of rolling for larger-results/adversary has appealed to me for quite some time.
+WarBeer epic and awesome post my man! I too am working on a custom system/book for release next year. So great to hear the same stories of creative wonder! game on, and thanks for watching!
I really like d10s, just wish they rolled a little better. 19:00 The Triceratops is clearly a mocker of all non-things of threes, yes. But the question then becomes, was the Triceratops wiped out as a species because of their lack of piety to the pagan insect gods or because they sided with the carnivores in the planetary war of the dinosaucers?? btw, I am not drunk, but I am a duck.
How's this for begging players or GMs? Was thinking about using this to break into RPGs and play with my friends, but I'm a little worried. It sounded like experience GMing was essential to running the game well.
Hey, I gotta know where you get those dope green d6s. You showed me DW with this video and I've loved it so much since, but I've been searching all over for those amazing green dice!
.mead iz one of my nose favorite D&D beverage's.. it will warm you threw and threw...lol I've been revisiting alot of 3.5E to spark creative ideas... I got my hitst arts molds and have been casting for daze...lol
hey hank, love your channel man! but heres the thing, im a total rpg noob, ive never played any tabletop rpg games or campaigns, but im really feeling the urge to get into this nerdy shit. I would love to see a guide from you for total beginners, about the basics you need, equipment, and what to expect of a rpg campaign with your friends, so I can take from there. that'd be awesome man! if not, do you know any good resources about this?? cheers!
I am interesting in playing this but I just heard about rpgs boardgames so I don`t exactly know what your talking about.can someone please explain to me
me and some friend wanna try tabletop rgp like D&D is this game good for a start ! like a intro in this sort of gaming ? is it more easy to learn and Dm
+Drunkens & Dragons: Play D&D Like a Badass you should totally run a contest, winner gets to join that game. PS: I get a free pass because it was my idea. lol
Hank, i cant hold on that my man, im just laughing.. you tell the guys that made DW that "monster pages got nothing, its a desert of text" guess what i want to tell you.. :D. Nevertheless i am really enjoying your desert of text buddy. Love you.
In this great video you ask yourself why they spent half book with D&D stuff when they had such a great, original mechanic. Actually the mechanic is not original at all: it's taken from Apocalypse World. Indeed DW is a Powered-by-the-Apolcaypse game. Also, in the video it's clear that you missed a point: you NEVER roll before telling what your PG does: FICTION ALWAYS COMES FIRST!
Andrea Rovai exactly, like the kraken having 20 hit points... you cant simply say "I hit the kraken" and expect to even roll the dice... you better find a way to hurt it because the fact is... its huge and it can crush a boat and you only have a sword. Great review!
I spent all of this time trying to piece together a super simplified version of D&D only to discover that it already exists. That's good, but that's a week i'll never get back. XD
I've been working like 2-3 months to make my own P&P system, it got so fucking complicated and then I realized that my player's were already overwhelmed by a simplified version of Paranoia XP, so I bought this! Just read through the book (except the monster pages :D ) and it seems really awesome! Seems perfect for beginner PLAYERS because 95% of the things they have to know is either on the "basic moves" page or their character sheet
One pretty minor critique about the video, and it has nothing to do with anything said. Your cameraman should've lowered the fstop on said camera, cause in some instances the depth of field was distractingly narrow.
the lower the F-stop, the narrower the depth of field. And even if you meant raise the f-stop, that's often not possible indoors due to the low light, unless you want to raise your ISO and admit shit tons of noise into the frame.
Obviously it's a moot point six years later, but does Hankerin not realize that Dungeon World is just a conversion of D&D to the PBTA design framework? They didn't invent a cool mechanic and then ruin it rehashing D&D content. They took a cool mechanic from Apocalypse World and then applied that to D&D. It's a feature that they are similar, not a bug.
@@Runehammer1 I was mostly reacting to your initial disappointment that so much of the book was rehashing classic D&D elements rather than creating new content. That shouldn't be a surprise if you know the point of Dungeonworld is to convert D&D to PBTA rules. That's all I'm sayin'.
I agree that the art is cringe-worthy. If they improved the art, the book would be waaaay more attractive. This goes for a lot of OSR type books though. (exceptions are cover art of Swords and Wizardry etc.)
Review is ok, but maybe next time-- Maybe the camera person shouldn't be drunk as well? P.S. I take it all back though for the host having the chutzpah to drink the whole bottle though.
Drunkens & Dragons: Play D&D Like a Badass valhalla i see... across the rainbrow bridge to SATURN ....... lord of the rings ...... father time ODIN... CHRONOS....the man who eats his own children...... the devil..... damn bro watch out daddy might eat u
+Woodthorn The differences are actually interesting, and I'm guessing they took a lot of testing to pull off. Sounds like they'll be putting in more original mechanics for the next version.
Hank, love the channel, but this wasn't a very good game review. You hit on some big points, both good and bad, but were kind of all over the board on explaining how DW works. For example, the GM does not roll any dice for his "moves", but rather sets up each phase of combat as a series of challenges; there are a multitude of different "moves" that can be made that can effect the outcome of a challenge; that stat bonuses, factor into your 2d6 roll, so it is not 100% based on the chance of the dice (you can get better as you level). It's cool though... I mostly agree with everything you did hit on. Maybe just less mead, and a more systematic approach next time.
a damn good critique, and part of why I wandered away from DW....the last thing I want to do is play by the rules, and DW cloaks its rigid way of thinking in a free-minded presentation. So i wound up between... your rigor is earned, and appreciated!!!
Gotta say I keep coming back to this video and it's definitely not a waste of time. It might not have said what I wanted it to, but the drunkens & dragons show is hilarious, entertaining, and worth revisiting!
I was about to review this book, then I found this video and I was like, "Nothing more to say here. On to the next book." A killer review indeed.
Plot Twist. Drunk guy was actually the camera guy
I hadn't seen how drunk I actually got until now. 0.0
Drunkens & Dragons: Play D&D Like a Badass Have you seen apocalypse world? its the game engine that Sage and Adam got that system from.
yehp...good stuff
yep just read it..
What did you think?
Cool stuff, though I really believe that the idea of 'moves' is really confining and winds up with too much reading. The book is really creative though...fun stuff
"Go on Amazon and buy it now"....... Me: yeah...ok (buys it on Amazon)
Ok. I'm back after getting the book from my local brick and mortar.
Honestly, the DM advice is my favourite part of that book. If you're a brand new DM, you could do far worse than using this game as a learning tool and then taking those lessons to other games.

This is specifically their answer to dnd that's why it has the dnd vibe.
They have many other games that are not at all dnd like.
I'm fucking dying lmao! "I wish this triceratops would stop mocking me"
"Sean Connery in a loin cloth"
"the bottom half of my face feels enormous"
I have run this game several times as well as apocalypse world which is its inspiration. This system is great for really experienced players or newbies. The middle ground people or numbers crunchers seem to have trouble adjusting.
The thing about the kraken is that in the "fiction" typically you can't just walk up and smack the kraken. It will involve using your head to even prove you can hurt it. Long story short,
Great review and this system is awesome.
I ordered it before the video was done. I trust you.
19:23
that is the best gaming TH-cam video I have ever seen
Great video! Just found your channel and am absolutely loving it. Just decided to quit reading my RPG books and start DMing. Decided to start with Dungeon World and Tiny Dungeon.

Rolling 2d6 is more satisfying than rolling a d20! Agreed.

I'm really interested in this system, but i would love to see how the mechanics work with a group fighting a group in actual play. All the demos I've seen is just one hero against monster(s)
This is my first episode I'm definitely subscribing this guy's hilarious 😂
And I'm going to go on Amazon and buy the damn book 👌😂
The King's Mead and Blatts Light have a lot in common.
Too funny man. You have great reviews. Very intelligent and thought out, while managing to not bore me to death. You should really look in to contacting some of these companies for some loot to review and possibly fund some giveaways for your channel.

Wow I discovered DW and your channel within 24hrs! I whole new world has just opened up to me ;)
+Playthingz Don't you dare close your eyes
+Drunkens & Dragons: Play D&D Like a Badass LOL I won't as long I can expect more Dungeon World videos! ;)
Excellent review and a great game. Thanks for sharing.
Bought this book because of this review and i have 0 regrets. Hats off to you, king 👑
Dungeon World is far superior to Dungeon and Dragons.
Unless you like tatical combat.
Agreed. I actually *like* that it gives you all the tropes, monsters, and conventions of D&D without any of the unnecessary math and other fiddly bits.
OMFG, you are hilarious! Keep on sang'n, my wayward son! Thank you for the TLDR!
The fact that he wore a Destiny 1 T-shirt make this video worth watching.
Kings are always portraited as fat because a lot were haha Interesting tid bit though, In the middle ages when they didn't have any real knowledge about nutrition they treated vegetables as peasant food so lords & kings would eat a lot meat, poultry, cheese etc but very little vegetables because of it, gout was a really common problem among richer people
Love dungeon world!!!! We home brewed dnd and dungeon world together
I see why they call this Drink n' Review, I keep seeing out of focus. :P XD
I love your channel. A quick note about the "no initiative" being chaos comment. It really isn't. In DnD you don't have initiative during roleplaying segments.

I'm disappointed. you needed to take your shirt off and set the miniatures on fire.
Love me some DW...Check online for extra character classes.
+theDMsCraft Yeh! The DW 'verse just gets better and better.
omg, after 3 years watching your videos it just comes to my mind you actually have a "cameraman". POW! mind-blowing :O
That says something about the presenter.
My painting professor is the cover artist, Nate Marcel. Unfortunately he isn't credited, they list the old artist.
I can only imagine one playing Dungeon World with his painting professor
10:33 "They came up with amazing original mechanic" - No, they didn't. Dungeon World is a D&D-fied copy of Vincent Baker's Apocalypse World. He's the genius behind it all. Check out AW and his others games, e.g. Poison'd and Dogs in the Vineyard.
+edheldude so..is this a sanctioned copy or some sleek piracy of the 2d6 pillar?

as an intro to rpg's I think it'd be an odd choice. Try ICRPG, Basic Fantasy, Black Hack, or SRD style D&D!

cheers!
can do.. there are lots of such vids, but we'll do it hankerin style
Wasn`t the mechanic in Apocalypse World first, before Dungeon World? ... Wasn`t Dungeon World made to emulate D&D?
yep..but new to me in DW
Got it. But that`s why they rehash so much of the stuff from d&d I guess. Great system though!
Btw, is that Mjølner in your picture?
I am interesting in playing this but I just heard about rpgs boardgames so I don`t exactly know what your talking about.can someone please explain to me
also can you play with multiple people while playing?
yes! its a typical rpg...make characters, do adventures
oh! cool thank very much for the information! :D
What do you think about awarding xp for failed throws but keeping the d20?
hell yeah... all just a matter of adjust player limbic response
Man that mead really went to work quite quickly. You were gone by the end of the video.... lol
me and some friend wanna try tabletop rgp like D&D is this game good for a start ! like a intro in this sort of gaming ? is it more easy to learn and Dm
D&D will be teh most familiar, but DUngeon World is simpler.
a another you tuber introduced me to Pocket Fantasy Rpg any thoughts ?
dont know it yet!
it doesn't do that annoying fake progression thing D&D does where your attacks go up +1 as the monsters' defenses do the same?

+Woodthorn The differences are actually interesting, and I'm guessing they took a lot of testing to pull off. Sounds like they'll be putting in more original mechanics for the next version.

Hank, love the channel, but this wasn't a very good game review.
You hit on some big points, both good and bad, but were kind of all over the board on explaining how DW works. For example, the GM does not roll any dice for his "moves", but rather sets up each phase of combat as a series of challenges; there are a multitude of different "moves" that can be made that can effect the outcome of a challenge; that stat bonuses, factor into your 2d6 roll, so it is not 100% based on the chance of the dice (you can get better as you level).
It's cool though... I mostly agree with everything you did hit on. Maybe just less mead, and a more systematic approach next time.
a damn good critique, and part of why I wandered away from DW....the last thing I want to do is play by the rules, and DW cloaks its rigid way of thinking in a free-minded presentation. So i wound up between... your rigor is earned, and appreciated!!!
This review is missing out on some of the most important parts of the PbtA system. Waste of time.
Holy crap, 9 months later, sorry my previous comment was so dickish! If I recall I left a better comment on part 2. I hope I did at least.
Gotta say I keep coming back to this video and it's definitely not a waste of time. It might not have said what I wanted it to, but the drunkens & dragons show is hilarious, entertaining, and worth revisiting!
