As a dice goblin, LET ME HAVE MY SHINY MATH ROCKS 😭 Also, good to know there is actually an introductory site for newbies, now. I'm quite happy to be in an era where D&D has gained so much popularity for social gatherings🥰 (...because I can't interact with people like a normal person, unfortunately😓)
It occurred to me that growing up with video games helped me immensely when starting DnD; lingo like "HP" and "RNG" are so common to gamers that the extra ones like "BBEG" just fit right in
The most important lingo for DND is DBP. It's very important for everyone to know. What's DBP you ask? Well Dragonborn Puberty of course! Did you know-
It can be even harder to learn D&D lingo after a decade of playing a totally different system. Also learning the lingo of a new system after playing D&D for many years. I have a friend trying to do the former, while I and a different group are doing the latter. 😹
The stars have perfectly aligned for Duke and Ryan George (who both make videos about talking to themselves) to collab on a video about the new DND movie. Please make it happen!
On top of that, imho there's a plethora of "homebrew-lingo" for each table, referring to insider gags or a certain players personality, especially in groups who know each other very well. At my (German speaking) table, we're working exclusively with the English core books, all modules I run are in English, so there's tons of opportunities to lose yourself in translation. One of my favourites is our habit of calling a "Dexterity Saving Throw", in short "Dex Save", a "S*x Dave" - and I think, it's beautiful. Totally adolescent? Sure. Cringy af? Hell yes. But: It never gets old.
D&D lingo isn't half as bad as forgetting that most people don't know a lot of medieval terms. I can't count how many times I have had to explain what a Fletcher does or what a Flail is.
This is hilarious and I think I picked up most of the lingo from osmosis when I learned. Then again, I got the basic books pretty fast and studied long before my first game so maybe that helped bridge the gap for me. Thanks for the new video! Will be at the movie 🍿 🎥 this evening and see you there!
Just got finished with my groups weekly session. Last week my character intimidated the boss into doing what she wanted and this session we all tried to kidnap a child to bring with us on our quest. It did not work because we are all blind apparently but we ended up befriending a manticore instead. Can't wait for our next week session where we try to kidnap a grandma and my character gets to ride said manticore we just befriended
Oof, I remember THAC0 from Baldur's Gate. Given how young I was when I was playing, all I got from it was "high number bad, low number good." Had no idea how it was calculated or how it played into the actual combat.
Oh man, I JUST had a session zero a couple hours ago and have a totally new player and we were explaining some lingo so the fact I found this right after is hilarious.
Idea: You make a video about the problems with every D&D class, such as the wizard's squishieness and the warlock's need to take naps. Maybe you could do something where someone makes a character and the DM is like "You sure? It struggles with (INSERT PROBLEM HERE)" and the person picks a new class and the DM is all "Actually, it's not good at (INSERT PROBLEM HERE)" and this just continues for every class.
This video made me so happy that I learned to play dnd with a group of people who also learned dnd at the same time. We didn't have a clue when we started out, but now, 8 years later, I know all the lingo and it has just come organically😅
This is really any game or fandom. There is usually a bunch of words you don't know. Some examples would be, "Muggle", or "the Force", or "Hasta la Vista"
I joined a party that uses minimal lingo and just talked normally. Made is so easy to get in lol. I only had to learn a couple of words and they were mostly mechanical terminology you expect to learn anytime you get into a new hobby.
I… don’t play a whole lot of DND because I can never get a group past session 0 but I do watch a lot of people play it on TH-cam and I also watch R/RPG Horror stories a lot so~ I learned a lot of terms there

Then Jakin be slackin.

No longer play and STILL have 3 dice sets.
This man walked into the house of a dude he never met and sent him a text. If I was the dm I'd be wondering how he got my number
oh that's easy, he got the number beforehand so they could work out scheduling
@@kurtmayer2041 that’s a boring answer though.
Asked his ex 😏
@@chickennbeans1888 There we go that's entertaining
The sign on the door said DD for a good time call this number.... in hindsight the DM later realized how that could be misunderstood

Looks like ad-barian took a level in bard. Nice!
But only one level XD
Would that make him a bardbarian? Like Mr. Torgue in Wonderlands?
@@graywolfdracon we *bonk*ing love torgue
And got officially sponsored by WotC
@@graywolfdracon Every time I see the term bardbarian, I immediately think of the band Amon Amarth.
It occurred to me that growing up with video games helped me immensely when starting DnD; lingo like "HP" and "RNG" are so common to gamers that the extra ones like "BBEG" just fit right in
I concur
I agree
idk what BBEG is, i grew up with BAM (Big Ass Monster)😂
The bowler hat on top of the Viking helmet was the icing on the cake. 👌

Adbarian is a even better singer then music teachers! That’s saying a lot.
The stars have perfectly aligned for Duke and Ryan George (who both make videos about talking to themselves) to collab on a video about the new DND movie. Please make it happen!
For the longest time I thought BBEG stood for Big Bad End Game because I understood it as the big bad you fought at the end of the game.
Me too!
That works too 😀

Ok whats a Fletcher?
But this time blame it on second language english

@@mkklassicmk3895 ahh
Thank you
@@fabi3790 no problem.
The one bit I will never forget is having to explain that polearms aren't a singular weapon and are in fact a genre of weapons
"We're playing on a train?" hey a train heist or train mystery isn't a bad idea!
So I see that AdBarian has multiclassed into Bard.
the adbarian's segment truly was beautiful!!
This is hilarious and I think I picked up most of the lingo from osmosis when I learned. Then again, I got the basic books pretty fast and studied long before my first game so maybe that helped bridge the gap for me. Thanks for the new video! Will be at the movie 🍿 🎥 this evening and see you there!
That was one of the best Addbarian's performances yet. I loved it!
Ok but even I had a lil tear after that performance, bravo Ad-Barian.
magic the gathering slang can be even weirder. That's the game where you crack a fetch to grab a land from the library
Duke really out did himself on the sponsor segment this video. Best part of the video
The reactions from hearing they hired somebody to help them is priceless. XD
Just got finished with my groups weekly session. Last week my character intimidated the boss into doing what she wanted and this session we all tried to kidnap a child to bring with us on our quest. It did not work because we are all blind apparently but we ended up befriending a manticore instead. Can't wait for our next week session where we try to kidnap a grandma and my character gets to ride said manticore we just befriended
never stop making genius content. thank you for the belly laugh
Educational today. i like it.
At least they don´t have to explain THAC0...
No, we´re not having tacos, Jake.
...
Friday is pizza night.
Oof, I remember THAC0 from Baldur's Gate. Given how young I was when I was playing, all I got from it was "high number bad, low number good." Had no idea how it was calculated or how it played into the actual combat.
duke learned fast about the terrible dice goblin disease
Oh man, I JUST had a session zero a couple hours ago and have a totally new player and we were explaining some lingo so the fact I found this right after is hilarious.

Perfect segue from sketch to Ad(barian). 👏🏻
Ad-barian survived the dragon?! I'm so happy!
Dude perfectly captured that feeling of "I think this is the room I'm supposed to be in but I'm not totally sure?" when walking in the door.
"actually, DM stands for dungeon master"
"Oh, ok" *doesn't question this specific term that ALSO has a second meaning*
"What's a b-beg" wow that got me
The best lingo word we have to learn is “Yahtzee”
YAHTZEE! 50 POINTS!
Wait what is happening
This video has the perfect length
I need more singing Adbarian!!
Ok, Duke has to do more musical numbers. It is decided.
This video made me so happy that I learned to play dnd with a group of people who also learned dnd at the same time. We didn't have a clue when we started out, but now, 8 years later, I know all the lingo and it has just come organically😅
I expect that song to be in the new movie
I don't play D&D, but I love this channel! Keep being awesome!
Thanks it's will help me a lot
Started playing dnd last year
1:35 "No no, he's got a point"
3:27 "The Bard is also the Barbarian... Bardbarian"
"What's your AC?"
"My apartment doesn't have AC"
This is comedy gold!
I’m with the new guy on this. We need to get ride of acronyms ASAP.
Ah yes, back when I saw BBEG and thought it was pronounced bb-bblerrg.
When did Ad Barbarian take levels in Bard
As someone completely new to D&D, this is accurate.
Don't worry too much. This is a real type 2 DM, the dungeon will probably be a Monty Hall full of Snarfs.
“I don’t wanna be squished”
How relatable
Did we just witness the “Ad-Bard-barian”???
I think I might have the dice goblin disease.
Same-
Oath of throwing it back. Nice touch
Love it!! curious on who the bottom left sticker on the laptop is. Looks really cute. Course I really love the Dice stickers
Why you gotta call out my inner dice goblin like that? 😅😅😅
I am a dice goblin. My twin sister has about two sets not ordered specifically for a character, and one of those sets was a gift from me.
"That was my favorite pair of dice" got me for some reason lol
This is exactly what teaching my friend how to play dnd was like.
“What’s your AC?” “My apartment doesn’t have AC 😖” when I tell you I screamed
DM is so common to me that I didn’t even think about it. I was so confused when he pulled his phone out.
I don't know where my group started using "AoA" for Attack of Opportunity, but here we are.
Wait; AoA DOESN’T mean Age of Apocalypse?!
I loved the jingle!
The train bit got me. I laughed pretty good at that.
Hahaha! There really is so much lingo in the game, I almost forget some of it at times :P At least its all usually spaced out when its used :P
Skipped being a dice goblin and went directly to creating my own hoard. Make the dice you want!
Loved this whole sketch. This has the right vibes for "Who's on First?"
My players feel this
I remember seeing the term BBEG on social media, and it took me a couple of times to realize what it stood for lol
D&D Lingo: A foreign language.
FG Lingo: A foreign language in Morse code.
«so it is a disease» had me audibly laugh X'D
Thank you so much for explaining bbeg
This is really any game or fandom. There is usually a bunch of words you don't know. Some examples would be, "Muggle", or "the Force", or "Hasta la Vista"
I really like how everyone at the table still was supportive, even though the newbie didn't know shit. Just like irl ^^
before this video i actually said that "bbeg" stands for "big bad evil guy"
Ad-Barian now sings show tunes.
Everyone, meet Show-Barian.
I joined a party that uses minimal lingo and just talked normally. Made is so easy to get in lol. I only had to learn a couple of words and they were mostly mechanical terminology you expect to learn anytime you get into a new hobby.
Not gonna lie, good segway, and good jingle. Well done~
ad-barian finally took some levels in bard
sees video length; haha nice
that's the weed number

I haven’t watched it yet but i know it will be great!
Edit: Yep amazing as i imagened
This pains me as a forever Dm, but is very relateable.
4:20 lol nice
Great transition to advert
4:04 ha my first time as a dm my players all started on a train that the bbeg derailed
What?
Ad-Barian is evolving!!
Congratulations! Your Ad-Barian evolved into Bardbarian!
"What's a buhbeg??" i can't stop laughing🤣
Three months into my first campaign and I'm still learning, lol.
Not me looking at my dice collection when they talked about being a dice goblin.
The rantookie island dm screen lol
We’ve all been there but… I feel bad for this guy.
lol, this is how I felt having to learn all of the online communication lingo, like lol, sol, afk, etc
I… don’t play a whole lot of DND because I can never get a group past session 0 but I do watch a lot of people play it on TH-cam and I also watch R/RPG Horror stories a lot so~ I learned a lot of terms there
