Moving

In about a week I am moving from one end of Canada to the other and I'll be driving for about 50 hours over a week. During that time I'm not really going to have great access to the YouTube studio, so I'll be setting up the following videos as pre-scheduled at the end of this week:

- Upcasting spells (public release July 18)

- 5 more weird rules (public release July 22)

- Grapple and Dragging (public release July 25)

- Grapple build (public release July 29)

So if you haven't checked out these videos yet, check them out this week as at the end of the week once I pre-schedule them they will show up as private videos.

I won't be posting any new videos added after this week for a week or more (which is why I'm a bit ahead right now). Once I'm set up in my new home, I'll start posting videos again ASAP.

I will attempt to check for messages and reply during the move, but likely with less frequency until the move is complete. Hopefully I should be settled around the end of the month (it's going to take about 3 weeks for the movers to deliver my stuff)

5 Things I "hate" about D&D 5e

Obviously this is a follow up to Monday's reaction video. These are some of the things that if they were brought up I could have agreed with.

5 More Weird Rules

So easy to find weird rules in this game.

Ship Hazards and Ship to Ship combat

Testing out the Naval campaign rules I covered in my last video

Ship combat and exploration in D&D

I go over the Appendix A in Ghosts of Saltmarsh

Defeating Sul Khatesh

Lots of suggestions were given on how to defeat this monster. In this video I go through some of the more popular suggestions and conclude with a strategy I think would work.

Short Rests and feature recovery

Speculation is that short rest recovery features will all be going away when the Player's Handbook is revised in 2024. In this video I look at what that might look like.

This monster can't be defeated

I figured as a followup to demonstrating the weakness of Vecna, let's go to the other end of the spectrum.

Vecna isn't looking very scary to me

Is Vecna even tougher than a regular lich? Not sure.

The grappling Monk

Pardon my voice on this one, it was recorded a week ago, just as I was starting to get sick and my voice is not 100%

Grappling and Dragging in D&D

Whew, just getting over a cold. Time to finish up a couple vids I was working on. Here's the first of a 2 parter - grappling and dragging in D&D

High level D&D play

High level D&D play can work fine, or it can fall apart. I go over some ways I use to make it work.

My Bugbear Build

No Gloomstalker wasn't as easy as I expected, but I ended up with something I'm happy with.

The Bugbear (Monsters of the Multiverse)

It's clear this race needs some discussion. Is it too powerful? What builds stand out?

RAW video - take 2

I have been unsatisfied with my RAW video ever since I posted it. I reworked the video, reworked my points and emphasis, and I think this is a better video. If you saw the first one, there's probably not a lot new here, but I think it is presented better. Enjoy!

RAW in D&D

A lot of what is claimed as RAW just plain isn't.

The Overly Attached Girl-Fiend

You want to be an effective healer? I guess Wild Magic Sorcerer and Fiend Pact Warlock is the way to go?

Healing up to full between combats

How to heal up to full between combats without the iffy interaction of Lifeberries.

Just some weird stuff about D&D

5 rules I just find really weird.

Let's discuss jumping in D&D

Let's work through the rules

New videos

Well, this is why I like to have a buffer of a couple weeks. Been working to get my home ready to sell when we had a sewer backup. My computer is in the basement so it had to be removed and a 3 day clean up prevented me from getting my work done this week. Going out of town until next Wednesday, which will mean you probably won't see any new videos until late next week. 

Fortunately I was a couple weeks ahead. Whew!

Patron requested video

I'll give you the scoop on Limited Wish

50K!

Thanks so much everyone! I just hit 50k subs.

I will be celebrating this Milestone with the Dungeon Dudes, D4 Deep Dive and FryMinis with a 20th level one shot. I will be the DM and Monty, Kelly, Colby and Eric will be my victims....ahem, I mean players.

It will be at 6pm EST on the Dungeon Dudes Twitch channel if you want to watch it live, otherwise I will be posting on my channel afterwards.

Darkness and Devil's sight

I go through the reasons you don't see me recommend this combo on builds anymore.

Full Plate on a Monk build

So how well did it work? I go through the build, the math, and the conclusions.

Not a joke video

I'm seriously thinking a Monk in armor might be better than a monk in no armor.

Straight bard build

I was mistaken on the most powerful bard subclass in D&D. This video is my correction.

Forced Movement

Let's look at the options and grade them!

The longsword build

This is the follow up video to the longsword video.

Let's see what we can do with Minotaur

Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my thing
I wanna get into it, man, you know

Get on up!
