U
Watching from the Philippines! (If there's one already, pls don't spoil me :D but) Hoping to see a performance here from the Bard! Just like Jarafa song :D
I don’t know why, but Matt annoys me so much. I know these are high school students but that’s no excuse for being so rude at the table.
6:00 Bill getting schooled about non-binary pronouns 😂
Descent into avernus has the players go to the nine hells, not the abyss, though 🤔
Excellent content! i loved this
Matt is striking me as a problem player and probably needs to acknowledge that there are more people at the table everyone stops and waits for his turn but I can see him never stopping waiting and listening to other peoples tones. Hopefully he gets better at this as the game goes on this could be just first game. Jitters is what I’m hoping anyway.
Hay guys isn’t that Heather’s players handbook when she stuck that sticker in the middle of the back of the cover😅
Yes! We have had those books for quite a while now, and they are still being used.
@1:23:50 Why is the one guy wearing a "Kill Bill" t-shirt and the sword is aimed at you, Bill?! Coincidence? I think not...
LoL! Good point!
Excited to watch this with my son tomorrow on the big screen tv!
Awesome!
It's good to see some young guys work together and you have great patients. Well done sir.
Thanks!!
As soon as "splitting the group" was mentioned I was thinking "Oh no..."
LoL! Me too!
always the cliffhanger Bill lol great adventure so far thanks for sharing stay safe
Thanks 👍
ThanksBill and students, I love Bill's stories and also like seeing new players learning how to RP. I'm super excited to see what happens with this campaign. Good luck to all the PCs.
Thanks Aaron!
I needed this, thank you DM Overlord forever ,I shall forever be grateful!
You are so welcome
16 minutes in and the 3rd AD, can you please limit you midroll Ads so that this is watchable.
Sure thing
I've been waiting for this! Keep up the good work gang!
Hope you enjoyed it!
You use "ubiquitous" a lot but you mispronounce it, every time.
Hmm. I'll have to ponder this statement.
Would love to see you play Cthulhu Dark Ages Bill.
Not a bad idea; I've played it before, but never run it. We shall see what the future brings.
Cloud giants are absolutely my favorite giant, im actually making a video of my own reworking the entire statblock into a fitting, lore friendly cloud giant thats representitive of their wealth. I had a cloud giant prince named Celestius, who saved the party from the cloud giant sentinels who rode in on massive golden chariots (they protect their sky cities from intruders) Celestius in turn made the players become his serfs and fight for him in a gladatorial arena where other cloud giant nobility gather up creatures from around the world an have them fight to see who has the best beast. And he loaned the players his great grandfathers vorpal scythe to show the immense wealth he had.
That's a really cool idea. Giants can be so much more complex and interesting than most people realize. Glad you are customizing them to fit with your game.
Thanks for a doing a video on these. They have intrigued me since I first saw them. I was always unsure how to use them though. You have given me some ideas and clarity! Thanks!
The revenge aspect and the k###ing of families make me think of mobsters. Mmmm....
Glad you like them! They definitely have huge potential for long-running villains.
Yep! Totally!!
I love this, great episode! Can't wait to find out what happens in next episode 😄
Me too!
Cool, Ivy is macrobiotic.
yep!
Great episode. Young crews always come up with the most creative stuff. Fun to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I enjoyed this video and I'll be tuning in for more. Is there any particular reason why you chose to play Castles & Crusades? I'm glad you did, its a great system, and its nice to see it getting some love.
After the Hasbro / WotC behaviors of the last year, I've really made a commitment to exploring other games. I feel like Castles & Crusades is what D&D would have become if Gary Gygax had made the 3rd edition. It is simple, elegant, innovative, and it captures all of the feelings of true heroic adventuring in a fantasy RPG. I cannot recommend it enough.
Right on fellas! Good job all. See you next episode! Thx
Our pleasure!
Excellent episode! I love how the gang is learning as they go! They start out not know what to roll or what to add but, by the end of the game, they pretty much have it down! Well played and I can't wait for the next episode!
Thanks man!
impractical jesters i like it is this reference to "impractical jokers" i love that show great episode! thanks for sharing Bill and gang cant wait for the next episode
Yes! Thank you!
Haha... druid hippie...
Yep!
Duuude badass I was jonesing hard and you delivered Bill style as usual
Thanks my friend! Much appreciated!
this is great
Thank you! Please subscribe and check out all of the seasons.
🎶Ahhhhh, come on Elrein,🎶
LoL!! Yep!
Love the excitement of new players and a great DM! Been looking forward to seeing these guys play! Keep up the great work Bill! Hey Karafa!
Thanks!
Brings back fond memories. I had all the 1st edition AD&D books, many of the modules and other supplements, a subscription to Dragon magazine, and was an avid painter of the Grenadier Models official D&D miniatures (and other 25mm figures). I still have most of that stuff stashed away in boxes, and I spent many a happy hour on that hobby back when I was in high school.
Very cool! It was definitely a golden era.
I know this is an old video and I peeked ahead seeing other students. After all this time did you continue to play with any of these students or know if they still play? Just found this channel but a followup with these students after all these years would be cool to see.
Welcome! I have kept in touch with many of the students, especially the kids who were deeply involved in my media program. Some of them continue to play role playing games, others never really took to it after the show. Once a year we have a reunion, so I see a lot of the kids. Some of them I see more frequently. We're a pretty tight family.
@@BillAllanWorld That's awesome! You should do almost like an interview thing with them showing how they started out and what they're playing now whether it be DnD as a player or DM or other games they may have become interested in over the years.
"Is he dead?" - they asked a number of times. :D Is it a rule that you don’t reveal hp points of an enemy for a better immersion? Also, do you know some resources for solo RPG tied with self-development? Like earning currency and Exp for your character through completing tasks in the real world? I can't find much on this topic even though it seems like such a great idea. :D Thanks for these videos. I know now how to calculate dmg and critical dmg etc.
Some DMs will tell players how many HP an opponent has. Some will use descriptions instead. I prefer descriptions, because it provides more immersion. Hit Points are not a precise measurement of health; they are more of an abstract mathematical part of the game. As for non-combat tasks and experience with self-development or tasks that a character can do, there is a little guidance for that in D&D, but not a lot. Mostly, it is up to the DM if experience or money is awarded, and how much is awarded.
@@BillAllanWorld Thank you for your response, you're great! :)
Probably not worth the travel time - the wind never gets in those cities... and don't get me started on what they call 'food' in those places. At least the traveling music was a good choice.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.
Yeah, this is a good monster to use in a pit fall trap instead of the standard spikes at the bottom. The dungeon designer decided to just plant one of these things down there and just let it grow into a cluster of them to fill the bottom of the pit. I think a lot of plant monsters are a good option for that. How I think I would use these in a campaign would be, maybe more of an outbreak kind of situation where the fungus is spreading and infecting people. But I would have the fungus start growing out of living things that are infected, so if not healed soon enough the new Violet Fungus growing out of the victim could attack anyone trying to heal the victim. Then after the victim dies, the fungus will take control of the body and drive it for a short while before the body has rotted too much and falls apart. This will be just like 1 or 2 days. Just long enough to make the dead infected body walk to the next town where the fungus can spread the infection more. Fire spells like Burning Hands will be very useful in this campaign because once the infection gets too bad that a healer can't even get close enough to heal the victim because of the Violet Fungus' tendrils lashing out trying to infect more people, the best option at that point will be to just kill it with fire. 😅
Very good ideas! Thanks for sharing!
How about a lonely Ecomancer using Awaken on the local Flora and the situation just spiraling with successive generations.
Also a superb idea! Love it!
Ash works also, but my mind went immediately to Edward Ulrich from Full Metal Alchemist.
Oooh, good thought!
Awesome breakdown of the VIOLET FUNGUS - ooooooOoooOoo! What a great one, part monster, part trap, and one heckuva story moment!
I couldn't agree more!
Cool! What's the year of the interview?
Not sure; maybe late 90s early 2000s.
Hill giants are one of my favorite subjects especially in regards to module G1. I'm always up for a good talk about their intelligence, size, weight (where things like doors or furniture is concerned) and beliefs...... Are they superstitious ? How do illusions affect their dull minds ? Can they climb or are they afraid of heights because of what happens to large creatures who fall ? The list goes on.
Very good questions, all of which lead to many more options for how to make Hill Giants more interesting or engaging.
What is the name of that sinister music at the beginning and end?>
The song is called "Mushroom Druid", and I made it. I make all of my original music accessible for Patrons on my Patreon who support me at the $5 per month level or higher.
@@BillAllanWorld Good stuff. I dig it!
*Leo* "half-orc cleric" *Matt* "halfling rogue" *Maddox* "Elf bard" and *Thomas* "Human Paladin" very good races and classes this is going to be a very interesting adventure thanks for sharing Bill looking forward to this adventure with the new group
Indeed! I'm excited too!
So excited to see a new group of students and a new game! Just be careful of Thomas and the "Kill Bill" T-Shirt! ;-) Iconic for a roll playing game! Can't wait for more!
Me too! It will be fun!
My cousin switched from running 5e to C&C a couple of years ago. We're older guys that grew up on AD&D and we're loving C&C. It's a great system.
I agree completely! I grew up on AD&D, but I've played and run all of the other editions. After WotC and Hasbro's multiple bad decisions, I looked for different games and C&C was the best among the options. I'm loving it!
Looks like a fun group, and eager to see a C&C playthrough with newbies!
Indeed!
Good stuff, let the game begin! Thx everyone.
Thanks man!
I'm 7 mins in and already feel the excitement! Man, it's great to see group play with students again. I enjoy the shows done remotely, but watching group play is just a whole 'nother level of engagement!
More to come!
