Thought it was cheesy at first, but now I realize how cool this actually is. I wish I had a lego, and mega blocks collection this large but my EGO doesn’t allow me.
Epic
this guy is dedication incarnate
Honestly a very healthy hobby lol
He is a real gamer gigachad
Why not, dude seems happier than most of the boring normal adults.
"i have seen grown man wept at the table"
If anyone calls you a nerd for reasons like this, always remember:
“We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams.
World-losers and world-forsakers,
Upon whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers,
Of the world forever, it seems.”
– Arthur O’Shaughnessy, Poems of Arthur O’Shaughnessy
This man is a legend! A book series, written by someone with access to him (as i doubt he has the time) would be epic!
One thought that came to me though, is his wife is never mentioned.
VIRGIN SQUAD, ASSEMBLE!!
This is absolutely incredible. I couldn’t imagine being involved in this. Infact I wish I was there playing. This is amazing.
This guy is awesome!! His view on friends is spot on
They say men are unfeeling emotionless husks…
What if a monster that he made eliminated his friend’s only character, do they kinda hate each other?
A man of pure conviction.
they need to put bro in stranger things for the culture.
What does the Mrs think tho lol
I want to yell "NERD!", but only because I want to play so bad!
Great Professor! We are playing for 40 years too, here in Italy 👍
dude have save game in real life
1:52 Me trying to impress the girl I like
Actual legendary human being.
Eh, I can understand the ‘do not touch my minis’ thing. the time and effort it takes to paint those things are exhausting for one, and, hey, is it that bad to tell the GM where you want your character to move and just let the GM do it? I dun see an issue with it.
9:16 lol I wonder if the guy at 7:07 is the guy who dicked down his daughter…
But does it have a demigorgan
in his homebrew rules hes referred to as the dungeon god, not the dungeon master.
NERD!
He is like” you will brake up with your boyfriend, I will not” 😁
Neeeeerds!!!
Imagine how sad the day when the campaign ends is gonna be
"Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!!"
I wanna make fun of this guy but man, I’d be happy if I could be as half dedicated in something as this guy is in his campaign. Wizards of the Coast gotta invite this guy to events.
incredible.
Stranger things jealous
I would learn how to play if there was money involved… I used to watch them play this game in prison
Bravo, bravo, bravo !!!
i’m not a fantasy or D&D guy, but wow this does make me want to play lol
nobody can hate a man with such passion for his hobby, I wish I had more friends to play dnd
This many miniatures and terrains are cool and all, but to anyone new to the game may be a little too much. Just so you know, you really dont need all this (even though its super fun). So dont let it intimidate you. You really just need a pen, a paper and some dice.
‘Best in the world’ say the Americans, endlessly, with about four passports between them
8:25 People who don’t like this game or understand it might well laugh at the idea of adults being emotional at the death of their character, but those who laugh are probably the adults who get emotional when their favorite team loses the contest of chasing a ball.
I want to marry the daughter, she is the hottest girl I’ve ever seen.
I’ve never played this before in my life but I really wanted to join this guy’s game lol it looks real fun and unique
The year is 3033 and the new world religion is called 🙌🏻Dungeons and Dragons ⚜️
warhammer has much nicer figures
This is so cool man. idk how to play dnd but i"ve always wanted to
A dungeon master that HAS to controll EVERYTHING.. I bet this dude is very fun to play with.. probably not controlling at all…. doesn’t make up his own rules as the game goes on.. nooooo no definitely not.. these are the dudes that roll a 3 and say it’s a 17 lmaoo
Never give up & never serinder
I started playing Dungeons and Dragons in High School when I was 15/16, I have been playing with the same group since then (however were in our second campaign now). I am now 22, and I wouldn’t feel the same playing the game without them.
