New camera! What do you think? And a fun D&D story to tide us over until the next real video.

People ask what camera I got: I picked up a Sony NEX-VG30 (used) to replace my Nikon D3300.

I agree with every criticism leveled against Rogue One and still loved it.

COMMENTS ARE LOCKED! We hit 17k (in record time, holy moley) and so I will draw two winners from the comments below and then unlock the comments again. Friday I'll announce the winners!

How did we end up with Random Encounters in D&D? Are they useful today? Depends on the kind of game you run!

Here's a great tool I found for generating random encounters:

We're giving away a free copy of Hexographer, Dungeonographer, and Cityographer and Inkwell's Heraldry tools as soon as we hit 17,000 subscribers!

All you have to do to enter is comment below. I'll choose TWO winners once we hit 17k. Commenting more than once only counts as one entry total, and you can't have already won something from me (sorry Redlius!)

Ok so, we actually played D&D and I streamed it.

It was just me and Gertz. Gertz is joining the new amalgamated Turtle Rock campaign, and I wanted to roleplay his backstory. It's very railroady, but I had a purpose; get the groups together and this is part one.

Later we'll do an episode where I break down what happened here.

Here are my actual notes.

When they end up in the Underground Keep, that's Broken Spire Keep from another adventure. So we didn't go off the rails, I just didn't need to include those details in the notes.

Future D&D streams will have more players!

The players fight more trolls! A lot more fun this time. I didn't do a great job in this video giving you the color behind the events. Like; the Troll Shaman was a diseased allbino. The fact that Bolothomogg spoke to Graves when Graves beseeched him. I'll do better next time.
