    Thanks for this informative video! I'm a new DND KZreadr and am curious as to how much editing you think should be committed to the campaign's episodes? I've just been posting the raw footage, with some small edits like a title sequence and credit roll each accompanied by some songs my friend wrote.

    @@PorcinisMushRoom welcome to the the family. I would seek to get right into the action as soon as possible. In the early days of D&D KZread everyone had an intro (we did, too) but nowadays attention spans are pretty low and people will click away if you don’t get right to it. People tune into a real play vid to see some real play. Of course introduce everyone but the sooner you get into the action the better. After that, I would say only edit out any super long pauses and breaks maybe. The trend right now is minimal editing which is great. Editing a 3-4 hour video would take forever and you have to think of this as a marathon not a sprint. If you spend hours and hours editing, you are going to burn out quick. I wouldn’t spend too much time on the credit roll either because like it or not, not many will make it that far or even see it. Just the hard facts. Good luck to you:-)

    @@DungeonClass Thank you for the warm welcome and for the detailed advice. It's very helpful! I'm happy to hear I don't need to spend a lot of time editing the actual gameplay. That would definitely be exhausting. I'll keep it simple for the long episodes and will continue to make shorts out of the funny scenes.

    A very nice company donated the books for D&D in the Revolutionary War setting to my history classroom. It’s called Nations & Cannons.

    D&D combat sucks since the 80s. It is too simplified. A 200 HP Paladin fights the same as a the same character with 1 HP. DragonBane is my choice of RPG. A superior game system. The advantage of D&D is the volume of modules \ books \ reference material \ etc. No matter what WotC do \ change, it will not matter. I have all the material to allow for an unlimited super fun solo experience with D&D. But like I said, my choice of game system is DragonBane. I can convert D&D content into a DragonBane format.

    This is cool! I want to start a campaign with my family but I have 2 younger siblings (one 10 and one 7) and neither of them have played before. I think this could be a good starter for my youngest sibling and we could finally start playing. The only problem with my youngest sibling is that she loses interest in slow games really quick and I'm still a new DM so it'll be difficult but I'll try my best 😭

    I am doing a video soon on how to use D&D in the classroom. Your kids are probably a little young to do it how I did it but I will try to include ideas on simplifying it for younger kids.

    @@DungeonClass definitely keen on this!! I'm always looking for new brain breaks. I am currently teaching 8 to 10 year olds in my class. Even if it's some kind of initial narrative that the kids can contribute to building the world or guiding the character interactions almost like a "choose your own adventure" in a way.

    Would you mind doing a video where you do an example of how you go about playing a pre-written module? Ones that are just a dungeon crawl are kind of strait forward, but how do you approach modules that contain a story arch?

  • @DungeonClass
    @DungeonClassАй бұрын

    I will have to contemplate that one. Yes, it is way different with a story which is why I didn’t show something like Curse of Strahd or Rhyme of the Frostmaiden.
