@@Savingthrowshow i have a question about the parody. Did you have to get any special permission from Pink, her label and/or copyright to be able to use the song? I have a few of my own D&D parody songs that I'd like to produce but I fear the legal ramifications.
@@Savingthrowshow I guess my biggest worry is in the definition of 'parody'. I have a few songs that are not funny or satirical in any way...the lyric changes actually make the song quite deep and meaningful and I don't know if it would be considered parody.
Paul Moore We are not copyright lawyers, so can’t really give legal advice. But the point is more on how the original is changed. If you’re just changing a word here and there it’s probably not substantively changing the song enough to count as parody. Parody doesn’t have to be funny, necessarily. But again we’d say you’re better off asking a lawyer! We just make RPG videos!
I enjoyed this song immensely! At first I thought the very cleverly crafted comedic lyrics didn't quite match the poignant love song melody, but you know, you pulled it off with your masterful vocals. I've listened to this song over half a dozen times since I discovered it yesterday:) Beautiful!
Haha thanks! We're just passionate about d6's. If you like this song, we've got a ton more original songs coming out in an album form later this year (although our Patreon backers have access to many of them now).
+TheAnisplan Thank you so much! We're working on a complete album of all new songs written and performed by Amy Vorpahl (the druid and singer in this video). It'll be out this year and hopefully some more music videos too!!
You guys delivered the saving throw that's taking Pathfinder and all RPGs to the next level! (somebody rolled a 20!!). I show your videos to anyone who shows an interest in RPGs!! You Guys Rock!!
So, you have an AC of 8? You wear leather and use a shield, because you're a Druid, so that would make your Dex a 1! That is just incredibe! I love you guys! And you have some serious pipes, too!
+Dyerdon this was actually a session we played in before we started recording and streaming our games! These characters were used in our Pathfinder ACME recorded sessions however.
We'd love to! We have several in the hopper but these puppies cost money to produce! Help us out by sharing the video and/or backing us on Patreon. It all helps tremendously. Thank you so much for watching!
It's not awful. In 2nd the lower the better. The famous THAC0 system (To Hit Armor Class 0) is based around an AC of 0. The higher up the easier you are to hit. AC in the negatives were common. A PC would generally start with an AC of 10, so 8 isn't a huge improvement!
It took more math. Sometimes a lot more, but it became easy to do just from doing it. But basically, you took the defender AC, subtracted it from attacker THAC0, and then rolled to beat that number. Remember some AC went negative, so you actually had to add it to your THAC0 to get your target number. THAC0 usually started at 20, and AC started at 10, for a first level unarmored character.
who do I talk to about using this song at my wedding?
+Kristy Hayes Woah, that'd be awesome! Send us an e-mail at dndhowto @ gmail DOT com, and we can getcha what you need. If you really want it. :)

@@paulmoore1356 This is covered under the Fair Use Doctrine, and is similar to how Weird Al creates his music. Hope that helps!

That was an awesome video. Can't wait to see what comes next.
Nerdarchy Nerdarchy!

The best RPG theme song parody I ever seen!! Great job! Want some more guys! :)

Great work guys!
Power to the geeks!
I've watched a couple of your videos just recently and they were all fun... This was damn great!
This is a cool song. And speaking of d6 wandering if y'all have heard of the double six dice on kickstarter.
No stop trying to change the d6
Elfquest RPG in the back. Excellent.
why does the rouge have an ac of 8 does he have only six dex? That could be why he was caught pickpocketing.
CD Bradford He only knew one life, ol' Shifty Butterpalms. No one ever said it would be a long life, or a good life, but it was his.
@@morganllewellyn5320 But the Thief should STILL have enough dex + armor to get lower than that...
@@morganllewellyn5320 So explain how rolls to hit worked with that system?
@Gryphon Studios Explain thy sibilant Mexican food.
OMG... just found you and this video is GENIUS
Aww, thank you!!!
I absolutely love this song! Great job Amy and everyone else involved!
Had a thef in my group named ... Lol he did this

THOSE SIDE BURNS
Haha brilliant. Not sure how you came about in my feed, but major props mate
Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics to this version? The captions suck.
Why is this song not on Spotify? I just found this song other day and I love it.
Is there anywhere to download this?
she looks just like brien of tarth.
Loved it! Loved Amy on Crit Juice! Looking forward to more.
Thanks Ryan Hale !
Haha! Awesome.
Wait, the thief is only rolling one d6?
Just spent most of this video trying to see what's on the bookshelf!
I love this! When is the next one coming?
This is like my group every time.
Rewatching this... Ivan looks so much younger! Is it the beard, or the baby?
We may never know!
Shut up and dance
Very cool! Cool Nerding!
Eu realmente amei essa música :O
You guys are great and Love the parody!
Why thank you! Might be more on the way. :)
Amazing work all of you; totally fanboying right now xD
Came here for Ivan Van Norman, stayed for the cute song :)
But mostly Ivan
This is amazing :D
this would have been epic if Ivan broke out into a rap like the KON show, lol
Does anyone have the link for this session? I can't find it anywhere!
+Dyerdon this was actually a session we played in before we started recording and streaming our games! These characters were used in our Pathfinder ACME recorded sessions however.
Oh my god. I loved this. Seriously loved it!
Thank you! We loved making it, and hope to make more music vids like this in the very near future. Share it with yer friends, if ya feels like it!
+Saving Throw I've had my dnd friends put it on our playlist so we can listen to songs like this in the backround.
Was that Ivan's copy of the Elfquest RPG that i saw in the video?
Its been so long, but, it..
its still so good 😭😭
I like this better than the original version :)
Ivan looks a lot like the Fourth Doctor

We'd love to! We have several in the hopper but these puppies cost money to produce! Help us out by sharing the video and/or backing us on Patreon. It all helps tremendously. Thank you so much for watching!
I still have that little yellow die lol
A fun video.
Thanks!
For those of us who didn't start D&D until 3rd edition: how bad is an Armor Class of 8 in 2nd?
It's not awful. In 2nd the lower the better. The famous THAC0 system (To Hit Armor Class 0) is based around an AC of 0. The higher up the easier you are to hit. AC in the negatives were common. A PC would generally start with an AC of 10, so 8 isn't a huge improvement!

Remember some AC went negative, so you actually had to add it to your THAC0 to get your target number.
THAC0 usually started at 20, and AC started at 10, for a first level unarmored character.
omg i love this, i wish i could still play group got 2 small 1 guy moved away the other got married to a controling women.
yes... for that performance you get my sub!!!
Can you day which state you filmed in? Sorry it looks like where I live lol
We’re in California!
I DMed a pary of a druid and a rogue that liked robing the druid
Oh, you just killed a guy lmao
haha! you guys rock!
coooooool
Your armor class is 8? I really hope that's 2nd edition
You guessed right!
@@Savingthrowshow nice, that's the one I started with, back when I was 12.
Amy VORPAL!
awwww yeahh!
LOL. What fun.
Thought she was a Druid ... d6 attack dice?
Funny Video!!
Amy. Cool. With a capital C? Not suggesting. Hey keep it up. I'm only holding on. Because this song is the s&_$!
hey Ivan do you do anything else... you look familiar
love that lady vorphal
Thanks brad elliott !
ELFQUEST!!!!!
An AC of 8? Who takes DEX as a dump stat?
It's an AD&D thing. 8's actually pretty good for a first level character there! And this song was based on a 2e gameplay we did. :)
felow nerds we sold make a kanpane
Not as good as Roll a D6
When everyone is off key... its a fail.
Embrace the cringe. I guess...
The song is fun but the singing sucks.
where can i download this?
