Rolls 20: you hoop the snoot of one of the wolves, they instantly stop attacking you and lay down, panting. They are now your pet. Rolls 1: the wolf bites your hand off, and proceed to maul you, leaving you in unconscious, roll for death save.

For some reason this had the feel of one of them videos you watched in science class that you had to take notes on and write about after.

Actually, rolling a natural 1 or 20 only affects attack rolls and death saving throws. While most DMs rule otherwise, you technically aren't supposed to be able to critically fail at picking a lock. This isn't to discredit the video of course, it is a great quick guide to D&D. I just thought I'd add a little trivia for interested people.

I really really wanted to get into D&D and had never played, but this video helped me and my campaign so much! Thank you so much, even 5yrs later!

just found out w my friends the we play dnd and so they assigned me as the dm. literally just made a story where everyone is a criminal lmao. It’s been like more than 6 yrs since i played the game tho so watching this really helps thanks

@@thedipperdapper3806 Essentially it's set in Nazi germany. The idea was the germans are so powerful that their minds can't be controlled by the fairies, for the first time in human history. So there's a Nazi vs. Fairy war, with the heroes being the Nazis trying to save the human race from being "brainwashed" by the fairies. There were everything from panzers with flamethrowers to fairies with love potions they threw at you. It was a bit chaotic but honestly ended up as a lot of fun, they made it through the portal to the fairy dimension and slaughtered the fairies in their thousands. It was actually just disgusting describing the bodies and blood everywhere. At one point one of the characters Sadolf Shitler fucked a fairy until it blew up. Weirdest campaign I've ever run but one of the best at the same time.

Dam very concise. Camera angle was sometimes a bit wierd but i liked the overal vibe. Imma use this for reference to help introduce people to the idea of D&D

Thank you for your video. I have absolutely zero knowledge about dungeons and dragons other than its a group game and lots of people are very committed to it once they start. Thank you for the simple explanation.

This explanation was really clear, concise, and entertaining. Other people's videos that I tried to watch were 30 minutes to an hour long and were tedious or confusing. Your video helped answer some key questions that I had. Thank you!

This will be really helpful to me my gaming group brings new people into role play all the time and they have no idea what to expect. I'll be sure to link this every time now as a brief tutorial. Great video Mark you did a really good job at keeping it interesting looking forward to your next video

First video I've watched of yours. First thought was: "wow, that's actually a pretty decent accent! not many americans can do it that well." Then you spoke in your regular voice 😂

In all seriousness though, I do love the small jump cuts you make to new poses and scenery, it keeps the video fresh without feeling like a long winded lecture that unfortunately tends to happen when explaining something in vid form

I recently got invited to an online DnD session by my friends. I've never played it, and I needed this. I pretty got the basics down. Thank you.

Wow, this was insanely helpful! I’ve been spinning in circles trying to understand all of the rules/ information and you laid it out in a way that was so easy to follow and understand. Thank you x1000!

Love how you wrote your own captions 'thoughtful mumbling' 'wizard noises'

I love how you do this channel. It's amazing like you can tell it's edited but you leave in certain mistakes you've made and it's great BIG LIKE :)

Thanks for this - i had to learn quickly so I could play with a friend's D&D obsessed kid, and it really helped!

This is incredibly helpful. As I have no friends that are in interested in d&d my parents and brother said they would play. There is one problem, they have no clue how to play. Definitely gonna show them this video and hope it helps.

Me and my friends play a very basic version of DND while at Boy Scout camp outs. We use one or two six sided dice. Our characters are pretty simple, we just pick a race, describe them and if they have any weapons. Pretty fun and a quick way to pass time.

So much nostalgia I used to play d&d and WoW in high school ( me and a few friends were one of the top 100 clans back in 2009)

I'm teaching myself and playing by myself (I'm gonna use notebooks to keep track of everything) so this vid was very useful! My ADHD is very thankful for all the different shots through this video!

I only really play MTG, but wanted to start a campaign with my friends at school, and this helped a lot, thanks!

It’s refreshing to see a channel like this with your background versus the streamer with a bajillion video games behind them. Books not video games! ❤️

I just want to say I love your video technique. this video was a treat from start to finish, your work is what I aspire to create and this is the first video I've ever seen of you

My friends play DnD and said that I should play…and I know NOTHING about the game. This helped me SO much :D

Pretty good video. My only issue was the mention that a 1 or 20 on ability checks means something special happens. As for as I can tell this is just a homebrew rule that has become widespread among experienced players but in 5e a 1 has a special consiquence only for death saving throws, and a 20 has a special consequence for death saving throws and combat. Neither will determine if a skill check is a automatic failure or success since the modifier needs to be taken into account against the DC.

Its great Mark! Im soo happy that last year Jingle Jam made you to create HighRollers and now this! As DMs our duty is to spread the awesomeness of D&D to whole world!

This is great. Found your other channel earlier, then I find this video. Excellent. 👍

I can't wait for the D&D stream today!

So I'm trying to learn how to play this because a guy I'm seeing plays it. I'm already fairly nerdy with video games but this game has allways seemed super confusing when I've heard people try to explain it. But yours is the first video I've actually watched to try and learn and it was soooo much easier to understand! I love that its super simple and basic and makes what my friends said actually make sense now.

Hahahaha - I came here because a friend who has never played D&D is going to a D&D party and I was hoping for a way to explain what it is all about. I don't know why there was an immediate assumption that I would know anything about it but if we dial back to the period of around 1985 to 1990 - no cell phones and no internet. But we did have the Gauntlet arcade game and the Pool of Radiance RPG video games series and we did have LOTR, The Hobbit, the Magician series, the Elfstones of Shanarra and the Dragonlance series and as correctly portrayed in Stranger Things, we had Advanced D&D. Loved those days and power to anyone who gets into it. In one incarnation I was a Chaotic Neutral Samurai (I had a sword in each hand so two attacks) - Loved it!

Really useful video Mark! Will definitely help me in my sessions! Loved the start bit with the 'Old Game Master'!

[Wizard noises] I absolutely love it when NOT ONLY a channel does their subtitles, but likes to muck around with it

This was really interesting and a great way to explain. Thank you.

I love that you actually went with stream's suggestion to just keep cutting to weird angles

You really helped clarify the complexity of this game. I've been kind of worried about playing this because the rules seem very intensive, but since I'm playing to primarily play with my family, I could easily narrow down our games to these more basic rules. As long as we use our imaginations and work together to create unique scenarios, we should be fine.
