Dude I've dropped a lot of your video in the first quarter but I can spend hours fully focused in courses and lectures everybody is like that and it's a matter of what you are listening and how, if the video is boring just get better at it nobody cares about tricks go study David JP Philips it's the easier path if I dare to say so
Great job on the content Bob. Congratulations on your full-time business owner pivot and your engagement! 🥳
Mr. Bob, I am writing from flycatcher 3&4. We were so lucky to have you as our educator and we all had so much fun! To be honest we still talk about you and the whole trip. We love that you think the clay was cool, and we are so glad to have been with you for that week.
-flycatcher 3&4 (to the best outdoor educator ever)
Congratulations Bob. You make great Videos and you show a lot of concern for your audience
never been happier to be 5% of the audience
Thank you for making it! :)
Same here bro.
But I kind of watch my video at 2x Speed. Sooooo... I'm still glad I got to be at the end of the video.
I almost didn’t make it through those first 4 seconds. About failed my death saves
Haha, needless to say, you are another master of attention in this community!
Did the oath of throwing it back help you stay alive?
Dies of 1d4 waiting damage
Seriously man, human being to human being, well done for doing so much and getting to this point, and best of luck goung forward.
Thank you very much! It has been a fun ride so far, and now it feels like just the beginning! I appreciate your support!
Bob, I was seventeen and going through an extremely rough time in my life when I went on an Outward Bound trip for a month 11 years ago. People like you touch and change lives, and I'm so glad you're moving from one passion to another. May life always be an adventure, man.
That is the least 'generic person' comment ever. Hope you're doing well.
Thank you so much for sharing that and for your encouragement! :)
Dude I specifically watch your channel for DnD and worldbuilding advice because of your specific approach. You don’t rely on clickbait, you don’t come across as overly enthusiastic and phony, and you don’t have the god complex that a lot of these other channel hosts seem to have.
Very human and very refreshing.
I really appreciate that! Thank you for the encouragement! :)
Coville is how I found your channel- TH-cam just popped up your videos next to his.
That's awesome! He's such an inspiration!
Thanks for this video, your openness, and your vulnerability. It’s not always easy to be your authentic self, but you do it well and inspire the rest of us in the process. This will up my DMing, but as a newbie D&D TH-camr this really hit home. I do my best to be my true self despite the pressures to be something else. Congrats on all the big life changes and your success! Exciting stuff in your future
Wow! I'm excited for you too! It really can be a wild journey. Thanks for commenting :)
This is mind blowingly helpful and inspiring for more than just dnd but perfect for dnd. Dnd is life
This speaks to me far more than the sparkly nonsense and I appreciate your approach. Something for your research. Er. Videos.
Good stuff, as usual. Thanks.
Hahah thank you very much for the validation on this style. I'm sure I'll still be doing to shorter/flashy videos for fun, but yeah, i think this style is ultimately better for people who want to learn something!
I usually don't find silences awkward. I thoroughly enjoy them!
Once, I drove my parents in law with my wife (then, girlfriend) to a mall. And while her dad and I looked for a parking place, she and her mother left the car to go seeking what they were going to buy, in order to gain some time.
It took us like 3 minutes in which her dad and I remained completely silent, before we found where to park.
Later that night, I told my girlfriend: "Honey, I think your dad and I made such a connection! It was so awesome!".
Hahah yeah being able to just sit in silence with somebody without it being weird is usually a good sign! :)
Most statistics have multiple outcomes. Small set friends unite! I'm also in the small set silence is nice. I hate it when listening to myself.
This channel has very quickly become my favorite channel for dungeons and dragons advice. I can already guarantee that my dming style is DRASTICALLY different from yours, and yet that doesn't matter. I still find every video insightful and helpful in many many ways
That's really awesome to hear! I'm glad that you can appreciate the differences in our DM style too!
Thanks Bob for giving us more of your time! Love your videos and can't wait to see what the future brings!
And thank you for watching! These are exciting times ahead and I'm happy to have your support :)
Seriously loved this video; Maybe it was because it was self-aware in a sense, but it managed to grab my attention probably the most out of any videos you've made. Props to you man, I hope doing youtube full-time keeps going well!
I really appreciate that! Yeah it's honestly been a while since I made a more personal video. Feels good! Thank you very much for the support and encouragement!
I had to leave outdoor ed- for health reasons, and ended up back in this world- watching you for 3-4 years nows? Your experiences in both fields speak to me and helps me see my connections and vulnerability. This is something i face everyday with my condition, but my imagination has always lead me to triumphs, look out for DrPletorius- Thanks again for slowing it down that is why i started watching in the first place - Sharing this out - but knowing not a high % will even watch!- and remember-* you might have to give up outdoor education, **but your education outdoors will never end!- thank you again my friend! Roll a save- love to see you discord-
Glad you found some truths in this video, and thanks for your support! :)
Thank God there is some ambient down to earth content still on TH-cam! Much appreciated!
Glad you enjoy it! :)
@@BobWorldBuilder Always!
@@BobWorldBuilder Which, btw is another way of sticking out in the crowd! :)
Remaining 5% gang!
I wanted to personally thank you for this video. As a small TH-cam creator focused on DnD, I've found that the high energy, or at least highly edited content, does bring in more viewership. But like you said, I don't naturally go that fast or that hard. So I include slow chapter breaks, slowing my verbal tempo and doing videos that are just talking head to camera. That balance makes it more sustainable, especially with a full time job! Still learning that balance though.
Excited to see what you do next with the job change!
That's really cool to hear! Yes, I've found variety to be key for staying interested in my own videos haha
I don't play DND and I have not seen a previous video of yours and I still watched the whole thing. Great video anyone at a glance can see you are being a genuine version of yourself and as you said that really connects with people.
Thank you TH-cam algorithm gods for showing me the channel I look forward to the upcoming content!
Awesome! Thank you for checking it out and for your support! :)
you have a level of self awareness i strive to achieve. you are not only a good role model for a dm, you are also a good role model
That's incredibly kind. Thank you! :)
this video is perfect for me rn. i’m going to be running a game soon (when i get the supplies) with mostly school friends but also a friend from outside, so this will be good for tips
That's awesome! Just remember to keep it fun for everyone! :)
So well said Bob. As an outdoor educator myself, I can most definitely relate to what you're saying. Thank you for making this video, excited to see what you do next!
I appreciate your unique understanding of my situation! And your encouragement! :)
That was tough for 4 sec, but the visual aspect of a countdown kept me interested
I was hoping that would help some folks make it through lol :P
Congrats on going full time TH-camr. I really enjoy the calm and friendly approach of your videos and content. I think you are an excellent educator and look forward to what you have to share. Great stuff Bob, keep it coming!
Thank you so much for the support and encouragement! :)
Didn’t know you were an outdoor educator Bob. That’s rad! I’m a wildlife ecologist and bird/nature tour guide so I totally relate to the beginning stories of the video. I’m really enjoying following your videos as me and some of my friends embark on our first campaign which is rapidly coming to an end. Keep up the awesome work :)
That's all really cool to hear! Thanks for your support :)
A beautifully well done and obviously thought out video!
I feel this both delicately clarifies what it really takes to hold attention, as well as calls out people to patiently give out more of their attention.
Here's to the 5%ers! 💪
Thanks very much! :)
Congrats on the wedding! You guys are going to do great! :)
Thanks a lot, from me and Grace! :)
This video felt so nice to listen to. I love the slower pace especially compared to the jump cuts and sound effects and everything else that can happen every second in what feels like every video out there these days.
I'm glad you liked it! :)
Hell yeah! Glad to see you coming to the scene full time. You reminded me of Matt Colville before you ever mentioned Matt Colville.
So many D&D resources online are about "fixing" things - as if D&D is broken. I think the "how to fix" D&D content can really lead DMs astray and get them in a negative mindset, fixing problems that aren't present at their table.
You, Matt, Satine, and Dael talk about D&D with positivity and wonderment. And that's why I subscribed. Keep being yourself, you are most definitely on the right path.
Thank you! Yeah, I've definitely slipped into the "fixing" approach before, and I'll say that it really works on titles on thumbnails, but I definitely aim to present my ideas in the videos just as fun things you could try, rather than saying I somehow came up with a better idea than a team of game designers :P
I started watching your videos just before DMing my first module game of Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I need to preface this by explaining that we use discord for voice and in the server I made I gave each player a character journal to do whatever they wish with. Anytime we can't have a session I propose an optional writing prompt for my players to explore backstory and other fun activities. This video has encouraged me to give them the prompt "What would you like to see happen during our adventure? How do you enjoy DnD? As a player what are your strengths and weaknesses?" I try to communicate as transparently as I can as a DM and I thought this video was super helpful to help guide me to not only focus on my player's characters but my players as well. Thanks Bob!!
So, I doubt you'll even see my comment, but I'm preparing a campaign that I'll be DMing, and I haven't DM'ed in about 6 years. Your channel has been helping me get back into being a DM quite a lot, and is one of the only D&D advice channels that I'm subscribed to. Your videos are informative, entertaining, peaceful, and all the advice you give is kind, useful, and enthusiastic. I prefer a less overwhelming style as opposed to the fast, loud, and overly energetic style which you mentioned in this video. Your authenticity is refreshing, and it enhances the impact of the messages and education you impart through your videos. I really appreciate your channel and what you're doing here, and I'm thrilled that you're going to be sharing more of your valuable time with us, your subscribers.
I don't always get to read all the comments, but this video is special to me and I'm glad I found yours! Thank you for the support and encouragement! :)
Congrats on going full-time! That's a big step! I wish you the best of luck!
It really is a big step! Thank you for your encouragement! :)
Thanks for this wisdom-filled video & for the quite profound trust you shared with us, the 5% viewer!😊
A big leap, indeed! And for that leap I won't be skipping any more ads in your videos.🙂
Keep building, Bob!🌈🌞
This one really was a pleasure to make! Thank you so much for watching to the end and for your support! :)
I absolutely f***ing know that you are a great outdoor educator. I wish my daughter, who is 10 and loves foraging could go on one of your walks.
I'd be sad to hear that you are stopping but I'm pretty sure you won't stop completely and forever, and also you are doing a great job at this too.
Also, thanks for this video. I found it very helpful.
Ahoy is the pinnacle of “less stimulating, but excellent” videos.
I try to find that balance in my videos- very clean and glossy graphics and editing, but it isn’t as relentless as others
Great video as always Bob! Your videos are always so thoughtfully made, it's really refreshing.
Thank you! That's a great compliment!
I see what you did there. In all seriousness, Bob: This was an exceptional video lesson. Thank you for sharing your feelings, opening up, and helping us all connect the dots in our own games and lives. You continue to surprise me with great content and lessons that apply to so much more than just D&D and RPGs in general. And, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Please keep doing what you're doing for the community!!! 💜
Thanks very much for this kind comment! I really appreciate your support and encouragement! :)
Congrats and good luck! Will be glad to see more of you on here :D
Thank you! For now, the goal is quality over quantity, so I'll be more present where it counts!
I've just started considering DMing, and I'm not very confident about it. But videos like yours have really been helping. Thanks!
You can do it! If you just aim to keep the game simple and fun for everyone, it clears away a lot of the other "advice" you'll see about running the game
Good for you, Bob! I bet it's scary but exciting at the same time. I wish you success.
You said it! Thanks for the support! :)
5% here, best of luck on your transition bob. Good luck wedding planning!
Thanks for watching all the way through and for your encouragement! :)
Your videos on Dragon of Icespire Peak are what got me into DM'ing, and have been so helpful! Thanks for being you, and thanks for helping me and many others have more fun playing DnD together!
That is seriously so awesome to hear! Thank you! :)
Bob, you have been such a wonder to behold, your style is what keeps me coming back every time i see a new upload! I am very much looking forward to seeing more content from you, Thank you for your support and attention! keep building
Hey that's my outro!! Haha, nah thank you for the kind words and encouragement! :)
I only found your channel recently, but I really do love what you make. Your genuine, calm, and human approach is refreshing compared to a lot of the jump cut/sound effect riddled TH-cam I see now.
Your content has already made me a better DM, and as an experienced DM struggling to keep the attention of a new player, this video in particular will be great for me I’m sure.
Thanks for everything you do, and congrats on being able to make this your full time thing!
Welcome aboard! Yeah, I like producing a videos in a variety of styles, but I ignored the slower-pace style for too long. This will gradually become more common again for me. Thanks for your encouragement! :)
Congratulations, Bob!! Excited to see more content 🥳
Thank you! :D The goal for now is higher quality rather than quantity, but there's always more to come! :)
I love that you view these videos as educational content rather than just entertainment. Good luck with the change in focus!
First off, congrats to you and Grace. I always get anxious when I see a cute couple that vibes on TH-cam; I've been rooting for you guys to seal the deal! Second, I think this may be the video that gets me to become a Patron. Authenticity is absolutely key to meaningful experiences, I could feel it here my dude. You really are the Bob Ross of DND.
Yes, the vibes are all real! Thanks for your interest in my Patreon, and thanks for the humbling title! :)
Crazy to think that we are kind of all just people. Real human people. I am happy for you that you made it this far with your channel and also very happy for sharing these tips with me!
Congrats on the marriage Bob! Hope all the planning goes well!
Thanks so much!
Great video.
“I can always go back to being a shepherd, the boy thought. I learned how to care for sheep, and I haven’t forgotten how that’s done. But maybe I’ll never have another chance to get to the Pyramids in Egypt.”
Don't be scared of changing career path, you can always go back :)
Thank you for the encouragement! I've been trying to remind myself of that lately. I was doing okay before I got in TH-cam, so even if for some reason this were to come tumbling down, things would work out :) Very glad to have your support!
Godspeed Bob!!!!
Godspeed at 30ft per round! lol
Hey Bob, very nice to hear about your future plans. That’s a big step!
I have never subscribed to someone on patreon, but now I will.
Will be following your future endeavors with my full attention. ;)
Wow, thank you very much for your interest in my Patreon, and for your support in any way you're able to share it!
I shared your passion for outdoor education and was a member of AEE, Association of Experiential Education, for about 8 years. This was from the early 90s until 2001. I've been a D&D player since 77, and I found out working with kids on initiatives and tasks in the outdoors really improved my game by describing the expressions, emotions, frustrations, excitement, and environments for npcs or players during a game. I could describe npcs, monsters, and beings that connected better because I could convey emotional content in a better way that connected with the players better.
Excellent video with great incite and purposes!
I listened to almost your entire playlist of campaign guides for the Essentials Kit as well as the playthroughs. Really love your gentle and soft-spoken style man, it's quite a rarity these days. Keep it up and best of luck :)
Glad you like them! Yeah, I'm trying to return to my original style here and there :) Thanks for the encouragement!
@@BobWorldBuilder don’t get me wrong though I also enjoy your latest stuff! Especially the series about testing the rules of dnd in real life i.e. the walking and jumping vids! It was a nice change of pace :)
great to hear you're taking this job full time and hope the wedding goes well! I was watching a video where you had just reached 1000 subs the other day and it's so cool to see how far you've come!
Thank you! Yeah it's really weird for me to look back on those videos honestly haha, but they're a great reminder of how things can change fast!
I value all your advice here. I am even implementing these teachings with my new job in Early Childhood Education. These are vital thoughts for speaking to any age group and even your coworkers.
I will continue to support as much as I can and I look forward to hearing and seeing what you have in store for us next time! Also yay wedding!!!
I really appreciate your long time support, Jaime! You've been here since the beginning, and this wouldn't have been possible without people like you believing in me and my work early on :)
I personally prefer this format a lot of the time. It makes it easier to listen while at work as I don't have my attention being pulled away from... Well, work.
It also tends to lean towards longer form content and I'm in the TH-cam minority who LOVES longer, well written, highly thought out videos.
I just have to say that, as someone with ADHD, this video was incredibly easy to follow. Your way of presenting is INCREDIBLY human. You have that gentle way of speaking where it feels like you're speaking to someone in front of you, and not a camera. Matt Colville (and this isn't at all a criticism of him) feels much more like a "presenter" in his videos, but yours feels feel like you're tutoring a friend on a complex issue. I love it!
Great video Bob! Bringing up the audience watch time was a clever way of attatching the subject matter to the act of watching the video itself. Although I have to say I usually dislike when videos bring watch time up as a way to make me feel obliged to keep watching, so I hope it doesn't become a running gag in future videos.
Thanks! And yeah it just made sense for this subject, so I don't have plans to talk about it in other videos
Your more them welcome and I can tell this this is heart felt and it's always exciting to see another new full time TH-camr join "our" ranks!(I just suck at the make money bit...) Which DND shorts can be but only to his true fans not to everyone who watch's his videos as seen in his comunity posts. Which for me I serfinced being a big channel to authenticity a long ago... But it allowed me to gain a comunity that most flashy Creators can't have.Thanks for all the great conetent you make and can't wait for those Drivethue RPG PDFs!
DUDE! Congrats! I recently left my full time job to do my own thing as well. It's a scary leap, but ultimately a great one. You've got this!
I loved this and hope this more comfortable style is what you stick with, you're a refreshing voice in this community.
Thank you! I'll always be doing a variety, but this style will gradually become more common :)
The public love sincerity - If you can fake that, you've got it made.
All the best with the concentrating on youtubing; dropping your multiclass in Ranger, and concentrating on Bard.
Well I'm a terrible liar so it's all real here! Thanks for your support :)
Year! One of 5%!
Some good advice and ideas. Like Your style, so keep on going. Good luck, hope you never regrett your decision. 👍🏻
Thank you! At worst, it'll be an interesting lesson for me. Thanks for your encouragement! :)
Brave move! Good luck, you'll succeed! And best of all we get more of you!
It is an exciting move! Thanks for your encouragement!
Well done Bob. Your videos are excellent and it's always a welcome sight to see them come up on my feed.
That's really nice to hear! Thank you!
Thanks for the ongoing, smoothly spoken content Bob. Great message, and congratulations on the new chapter in your life.
Thank you very much for your ongoing support! :)
This will definitely help me in my D&D game and my job as a teacher. Thanks for the great advice. I also greatly appreciate the tone of your video, from the start that's what I liked the most, your calm voice. I also love Matt Colville's channel but it is sometimes over-stimulating and there's nos way I could listen to more than 2 of his videos in a row ^^
Thank you very much! Yeah Matt does talk very fast in his older videos! :)
@@BobWorldBuilder haha I would say he's still talking pretty fast, but I get that feeling because I'm not a native speaker of English. I have to say I'm pretty proud that I'm even listening to his videos without subtitles, that would have been impossible a few years back. Yay!
Ahh!!!!! That announcement was MAJOR!!! GL Bob - we're behind ya all the way!!! ✊
Thanks very much! :D
Really have to drop some kudos because you mentioning parts of your outdoor education and the other things that you were being vulnerable with just really made me feel more connected to the video and the channel.
Loving the work.
And yeah the calm advice that you give may not always reach a huge amount of people but it reaches a certain amount of people in a really huge way.
Hey Bob, just wanted to stop by to tell you how much your commitment is appreciated. Leaving your work, no matter how carefully considered, is still a big step, so i needed to share my support and overall joy for the future attention you will be giving us.
Your dragon of icespire peak guide is still carrying my games btw. I'm running it with three different groups and it's working out amazingly for me and the players as well.
Thank you very much! Really cool to hear that the DoIP guides are still a big help. It feels like forever ago since I made those!
Most excellent 👍 when you can survive and thrive on the things you love, it energizes you and you won't look back later and regret it. Also, I'm excited with you and Grace the world destroyer as you prepare for your upcoming wedding.
Well said! Thanks for your support! :)
You're one of the top-tier D&D and RPG channels out there. If you're taking the huge step of leaving your full-time job, I can't help but join your Patreon and wish you the best of lucks. Also, congrats on the wedding!
Thanks Bob! This was a great video. I’ve been thinking about how to best engage my players, it’s difficult sometimes with all my games being over voice these days. These tips are useful.
Glad it was helpful!
There's very few things that will draw in an audience like being quiet. It's the secret to talking to drunk people and it can work wonders on a talkative group that's not paying attention.
Haha now drunk dnd players is another story :P
@@BobWorldBuilder 🤣🤣🤣
Man, ain't that the truth....
This was the exact video I needed to see at this point in time. Thanks for putting this out there. It's truly appreciated. And...congratulations on everything!
Glad it hit the spot! Thanks for your support! :)
i found you very shortly after i found dnd shorts, but honestly i love both of your styles. your softer spoken and more insightful takes are fantastic for me as a DM, and his style gives me great ideas as a player. ive been following Colville for a long time now and really appreciate and agree with everything youve said about him. i appreciate your video, love your work, and look forward to seeing more from you
Thanks for the video man! I can totally use this info for my next session.
That's great to hear! :)
I gotta admit that I like simple, straightforward videos because I generally don't watch most of the video.
I listen to it while doing something else, then look down at the screen when something is said which seems to require visual aid. I don't sit there and give it my undivided attention for the full duration.
I would liken it to D&D. You don't always need a full-up, detailed map with minis. Sometimes just describing it, or scratching a quick map so as to avoid constantly re-describing a location, is both narratively sufficient and advantageous from the perspective of actually playing the game.
Totally, I think variety is what's important!
I just found your videos a couple weeks ago, and I'm very excited that you enjoy creating these things, as well as your other guides, so much! Thank you for taking the time to share your passion with us ❤️
You're one of my favorite d&d content creators on TH-cam, looking forward to more videos to come!
I would never stop watching these videos without staying for the "keep building!" (unless of course to take a break and come back to watch the rest later)
So, you keep building as well and thanks for your content.
And to be honest... It might be an age thing, but watching those high energy videos feels very exhausting, so coming to this cozy corner of D&D TH-cam always feels like a nice walk through nature after being surrounded by loud urban noises all the time.
Congratulations Bob way to go! So excited for you. Keep up all of the awesome work.
Thank you! Will do!
Bob, you’re an absolute treasure. The D&D community is lucky to have you!
man you’re one of those guys you just wanna see succeed. rly enjoy the content and specifically the way YOU present it. ty for being vulnerable with us and i wish you all the best!!
Wow...yeah. I don't usually WATCH TH-cam more than LISTEN to it...so you were on 1 when I looked to see why the video wasn't playing. Good one!
Pro tip: As a presenter in a live situation (i.e. not pre-recorded), if you ask "does anyone have any questions?", if you REALLY want to allow people the time to ask questions, the optimal amount of time to wait is about 7 seconds. If no one has responded in 7 seconds, you can be pretty sure there aren't any questions. But sometimes it takes that long for the more shy / slow / introverted people to ask their questions. On the flip-side, if you're rushed and don't ACTUALLY want to pause for questions, you can ask "does anyone have any questions?", wait less time (like 3 seconds) and then keep going -- most people won't have formulated their questions by then and you can just keep plowing through with your presentation.
Note: in D&D settings, I'd generally recommend that GMs take the full 7 seconds. Because in D&D, it's more important for everyone to be heard than to meet arbitrary deadlines for time. If your game runs a little longer or you have to push things to next session, that's a thing you can do! Unlike, say, conference presenters where you've got a 1-hour time slot and not a minute more.
So true! People never leave enough time for that!
Thank you for being an educator, especially at the times when it is difficult to connect to your students, and thank you for you energy, wisdom, and openness.
Authentic player engagement especially with players you don't know well is the magic of D&D and role-playing in general. There is alot of respect in that transaction, understanding and just plan empathy. You extrude those qualities in this video.
I've been playing these games for a long time but a social trauma a few years ago made me stop, dead. Nothing crazy just the betrayal of my trust by an old friend in the context of a game we worked on together for many years. I dropped all the games I was running or playing in. I stopped watching rpg videos stopped following new games. Today I feel ready to return and I'm glad I watched your videos. I have alot of different views then you but I respect your ideas. Thanks.
One of the reasons I subscribed to you, is that you calm my nervous system with your voice and pace.
Many other vids from other content creatores are so fast paced that my hearth starts beating faster and I only concentrate on all the clips that is speeding by and not what they are saying.
Keep doing you Bob
This is eye-opening! As someone trying to jump into the dungeons and dragons creator scene, I’ve definitely been struggling to find my voice
Way to go man! And congrats on the upcoming wedding! Love your stuff dude :)
Thanks a lot! :D
Heeey just wanted to say Ive been watching your videos for a while, and absolutely love your style. The biggest thing to keep me watching and interested is the way someone presents themselves aaand a lot about their tone of voice. You're super soothing to listen too while also having great advice! Normally Im good about subscribing to content creators I enjoy... Well after this video I realized I never got around to it for you and feel bad but it's fixed now!
I play D&D online with a bunch of visually impaired folks online who I think would also enjoy listening to your content and will be sure to share it! Thanks for being awesome and congrats on the big change!
I’m incredibly proud to say I am a part of the 1% who never clicks off of a Bob World Builder video, your content is up there with the greats in this community like Matt Colville! Even before you mention Matt as a content creator, I thought about how the best content creators are usually just talking heads full of wisdom! Great work again!
edit: OH MY GOD I DONT KNOW IF THIS WAS INTENTIONAL BUT ENDING THE VIDEO WITH FOUR SECONDS OF SILENCE????
I always watch to the end of your videos! Super psyched for you making the big leap, Bob!
You got this my guy. Nobody else on youtube does such a superb job at making me comfortable with being vulnerable when it comes to topics of dnd, and it allows me to grow so much more easily with a more open mind. Your videos are always a blast, and the way you speak, gestures and all, make the experience unique to anyone else I watch. Congrats on the upcoming wedding, and I sincerely hope you succeed with this new lifestyle.
Eyy, congrats! You got me hooked with calculating irl stats and I love your content. Totally agree that the over-the-top energy is exhausting.
Great job, Bob. This was exactly the message I needed to hear (all 100% to the end) today. Good luck with the new endeavor. You're one of my favorite channels.
Ok, I love that this channel almost always gives actionable advice whenever a topic is brought up. So often I hear a lot of people point out a problem but very rarely do I ever do I hear sounds advice to help with the problems. Thank you for that!
Bob, I subscribe to many d&d channels, but yours is one of the channels I always come back to yours for DM'ing advice. Appreciate your genuine style and passion for the game. A glass raised to you, ser.
Change is always scary. You are doing amazing! I love your content, it like the few other DnD you tube channels I watch gives me unique aspects/insights into DnD. Keep doing what you are doing/love. Also congrats to you and Grace.
I started watching your content not too long ago with the (hilarious) movement speed tests, and have really enjoyed watching the channel evolve. Congrats on all the upcoming life events! I think this might be your best video yet - it captures such a core aspect of game interaction, but one that I think many of us (definitely me) have not thought about in a systematic way.
