Sounds like you all are having a great time! My main suggestion (as someone who started playing DND over 40 years ago) would be you check out a couple of other systems like Shadowdark m, DCC, or DC20 when it releases. Table top role-playing games are an absolutely phenomenal hobby but there is so much more out there than just the WOTC/Hasbro incarnation of DND

We are! And thank you I will. I'm still getting my feet under me with this one.

Guest players can be cool, esp if your regular players are welcoming or know them. You can give each guest one piece of lore that may or may not give the group a tactical advantage.

Our guest appearances have worked out well in both groups I DM for so far

I'm brand new to DMing and DnD. I'm writing a homebrew for my family using the players handbook, DM guide, monster manual, and Tasha's cauldron. You're inspiring me to make progress videos when I finish writing my campaign and start playing it

Yes! I would love to hear about it! I'm currently working on a simpler version to play with my even younger kids!(3 and 5)

@@Noob_DnD_Dad That's so cute. I have a one-year-old and I'm going to introduce him to it when he's 3 as well.

During one of my GenCon games my table got double booked and a bunch of the players were Marines from Camp Lejune. The scenario was a stealth mission to snatch a magic item from a temple, but they spent most of the session planning and attacking the temple guard houses!

We can always count on the Marines to attack the temple guard houses

Thank you so much! Your comments are very encouraging to me.

Re: new 2024 books, they're not a complete rule re-write but a rules update, so for instance the new Monster Manual (Feb. 2025) will work with the 2014 PHB and DMG. I'm not sure they're going to be simpler, though. For instance they're going to introduce using feats at lvl 1. I'm not sure how this would work adding the rules to an existing campaing - do you just give the PCs an extra feat as if they'd always had it. Anyway, for 5e based games from this point on I'll be using Tales of the Valiant rather than D&D 5e 2024, but that's for other reasons .

I guess what I took away from the wotc intro to the new books video, is that they will be more simply laid out, so it is easier to navigate them, even if the additions do not make the game easier. Thank you!

@@Noob_DnD_Dad I absolutely believe that. Especially the DMG which they admit was rushed in 2014

I’m interested in your fire mechanics. The group I’m DMing has started to use the grease spell and lighting it on fire. I was wondering if you had suggestions on mechanics for Fire and smoke for indoor because I foreseeing them using this tactic again.

If they watch this they're gonna know not to eat the seeds. 😏

I told them not to until our campaign is over since I discuss spoilers
