I responded to his comment about the Birthright setting with a video on the Birthright setting. I suppose I could have been more clear, but I definitely did respond to someone and did not post at random.
Funny thing, there was a 2e setting called Birthright, which pretty much made the game about developing land as a lord, rather than dungeon delving
Oh. I just learned about this. I have no involvement in this channel but this video was neat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsGk9M-4dq4
I got to play D&D in my first meaningful multi-session way this year.
I loved how much I got tossed around for trying to use tricks and the like instead of combat.
We also did a one-shot of Alien. I crashed the ship right away, failing like 5 roles to ease the damage, and then in our first encounter died to shrapnel while hiding in a bush. A player left early so I took theirs over and was the only player to die at all, and twice.
I love a DM who isn’t pushing me to fail but also isn’t going to have the NPCs not take logical steps. It was some of the most fun I’ve had.
Are you offering yours up? I would be very interested if you are.
Fair enough. I will keep it in mind. :)
