Five years later, I am curious about how it went

Bilbo was a 'gentlehobbit'. Probably the equivalent of small town nobility. He had money, and presumably, land. He employed people like 'Gaffer', Samwise's dad, to do things for him like garden. While his exact responsibilities and revenue streams are not explored in the books, I don't think, his family was clearly wealthy. Possibly wealthy enough that Bilbo could live one his parent's money without working, just doing community service - type things instead. His mother had been an adventurer, remember. After he returned from his adventure, he was definitely wealthy enough to live without working, and was even able to support another young hobbit (Frodo) after Frodo's parents died.

Bilbo was, as far as Hobbit culture is concerned, part of the landed gentry. Between the reputation of his name, his mother's name (being an old Took, the premier family at that end of the Shire), his relationship with the Brandybucks (an even more influential family), and the size/value of Bag End, he didn't really need to work. His position might even be comparable to a Baron. Probably one of the most amusing parts of him becoming a burglar, in my opinion. Love the video!

I remember being 8 and seeing my friend’s brother, who was 12, reading through the 1e PHB. The cover art (stealing the eye gem from the demonic idol) was amazing. I asked him about it and I distinctly remember asking him, “how can it be a game without a Board?” Lol

My buddy sent me this video in prep for my first session this weekend. I told him the video was great. I was talked at, but more spoken with. Appreciate the intro Good Sir.

Very good video. I'm definitely more intrigued now than I was before.

Look up gaming stores nearby on Google and stop in at one. Talk with the people there. If they just have shelves and videos, they probably won;t be able to help much. If they have a space set aside with tables, that's the place And if you don't have any luck with stores or friends look up Roll20.net. That's an online gaming service where you can find D&D, Pathfinder, and many other games. You can find D&D (based on several different editions), Star Wars, Star Trek, and lots of others. I run a game there based on the Arduin Grimoires (if interested i can explain in more detail). The first adventure in my campaign is called Rescue at Poenari and i have room for several more players. Wherever you look i'm sure you'll be able to find a game and most are willing to take in new players who are interested and excited.

Thank you for an excellent intro to Dungeons and Dragons. I'm encouraging all my players to watch.

1.) I've been playing over half my life... and you made such good points, here. You actually made me rethink some old habits. 2.) Subbed halfway thru the video. I think I'm going to watch all your DM videos, now. About to (seriously) run my first campaign (and most the party is 100% new to the game). I've gotten my feet wet with one-offs in the past... but now I'm in "srs bsns" pre-production mode. 3.) As someone that is not excessively thrilled with most facial hair... your beard is perfect. I almost never compliment someone's hair, but, there you go. It's glorious, well-kempt, and I appreciate you sir!

Wow that was so great - I was searching around KZread trying to find a good new players advice and had almost given up when I found yours! I had my first game last weekend, I loved it, but walked away still feeling unsure how to engage in the game more. This made total sense! Thank you!

To elaborate on what Mauricio says, I use roll20 to run a gaming group, but it's also with a group of friends so we use skype, meaning that we still see and hear each other.

This is the first video of yours that I have found. I certainly plan to check out more. While I am not necessarily new to D&D, i have been playing for only about 2 yrs and due to location have been unable to play recently. i look forward to perusing more of your content!

I was told about it and my dad played so I got interested and found dis.

Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I've really never seen dice borrowing to be an issue if I'm DM. I could see it being annoying if there's only one set, or if their attitude is particularly entitled in some way, but eh... I find it a tad oversensitive. To each their own, though!

The first couple of times - ok. After that - they really should have their own. (Ditto at least for a Players Handbook)

This was a great video. I really respect your experience and perspective on tabletop RPGs. Thanks for making and sharing this.

I'm fairly new to DnD and was introduced by some of my college buddies who are amazing DMs. I'm usually a bit awkward when it comes to improv but I always tried really hard and I think they respected that. One of the DM's showed me your videos and was like "check out this guy he's super informative, I rip him off all the time he's great" I was hooked, I love the content especially the campaign diaries! Recently both of my DM friends are too busy to run another campaign but expressed their interest in playing a campaign since they never get the opportunity to. Normally I would never have even entertained the idea of DMing, but these videos have given me the confidence to try! I've already begun writing my campaign and even though I'm super nervous I'm also super excited! Thanks Matt for doing what you're doing :)

Thank you for your explanation. I thought A while about getting into D&D because I love good storys and Play a lot of RPGs. It Sounds like a lot of fun! It is difficult to know what you need though. Like you said: the rule book and the character sheets, but what about all the other stuff? Like the board games etc?

Played d&d at a friends and i LOVED it But have no clue how to play sooo Thank you so much for this

I started a few weeks ago, found this video while looking for D&D tips on playing. Glad I found your channel.

Love this guide. I love listening to your voice, man. I love your confidence and enthusiasm!!

Dude holy shit your voice sounds amazing.

I already play mtg, and after watching this video I will start playing d&d too.

Thank you Matt, I'm a new DM and one of the players in my game is new to D&D. Happy to find this great overview. Also I'm lucky to have the new "Handbooker Helper" series from the Critical Role folks for helpful bite-sized nuggets. Trying to provide resources to the new player, but not overwhelm them. Thanks again.

Sent this to a prospective player, thank you so much for this. This is an amazing resource to give people!

i'm hooked, send me a copy!!!

Great voice, gnarly chair.

Cats.

I'm preparing to DM for the first time in my life. I'm so excited (and absolutely terrified!). The players that I'll have are my husband (our usual DM) and a set of 3 brothers, one of which has played twice before (with me) in one of my husband's games, and two who have never played before. I'm sending them to this video to help get them ready. I found it an excellent introduction to this madness that is D&D. Thank you so much for all your amazing instruction! (OH, I also picked up your 2 books from Amazon so, yeah. Can't wait to start reading!)

Subbed, always wanted to play but was afraid of how to go about it. Your videos convinced me to jump right in and I'm so glad I did.

i want to be a giant orc who eats strawberry pie

You can

I always wanted to try D&D ever since that one episode of Dexter's Laboratory I saw as a kid. Too bad I don't know anyone who plays it. great video though. :)

Masaomi Kida There are a lot of online groups and communities. Try looking for one, you can meet all sorts of people.

Wow. What a fantastic video. I'm just about to DM for my first time for a group that has never played before. This is everything I wanted them to understand about the idea of the game all rolled into one.

Wonderful. I will be using this as an introduction for all of my new players. Well done
