Wow, 8000 votes! Cool to see as much interest in ToV as DCC, but the winner Shadowdark will get some tutorial videos first π **And heads up that my next two videos were recorded BEFORE the 'back to basics' announcement. See the next photo for a sneak peek of tomorrow's video...

Which one of these D&D-like RPGs do YOU want more videos about? **Hear about their core concepts in this video! https://youtu.be/fycICQ-HNoU

π Thanks for all the support on this week's video about making more beginner-friendly content again! https://youtu.be/tx_fG-up5pM
--And if you have D&D/RPG-basics video suggestions, please share them here!
(I'll also be double-checking the comments already on the video for ideas)
Next week's video happens to be pretty on point, but like I said, I don't have a master plan here. This shift will be subtle because even tutorial videos today need some hype in their framing to compete on the platform.
But my goal is to steer the actual substance of my videos-- the content of the content, if you will-- back toward topics that are more likely to have a tangible, positive impact on getting people into the game, or rethinking what they know. But still not every single video because commentary and meme-ing around are fun too.
Some initial ideas:
- What is Dungeons & Dragons? (one video, ultra basic intro to D&D that acknowledges other games exist)
- Tales of the Valiant Starter Set GM Guide (series? rules/adventure breakdowns)
- Shadowdark Quickstart GM Guide (same as above)
- D&D Starter Set DM Guide (same as above)
- Other systems I want to dig into more next year are DCC, Cairn/Into The Odd, Daggerheart, MCDM, DC20...

**Edit: They removed most of the free DMG content... must have been a mistake.
HUGE update on the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide-- it's FREE now π
You don't even need a D&D Beyond account to see the "D&D Free Rules 2024" containing:
βοΈ all the new advice for new DMs
βοΈ DM's Toolbox and encounter balancing
βοΈ step by step adventures and campaigns
βοΈ mini sample adventures
βοΈ treasure, cosmology, lore glossary
βοΈ tracking sheets
It looks like EVERY section except Greyhawk, Bastions, the sample maps, and a bunch of the magic items-- many of which are in the Free 2014 Basic Rules on D&D Beyond too.
We knew some of the book would become free (that's part of why I suggested waiting to buy it), but I didn't think we'd be getting THIS MUCH. Just giving away the intro advice for new GMs and the mini adventure prompts is a great! ...Might decide to walk through the adventures in a future video.
Enjoy! www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules
