It's All One D&D To Me.mp4

I love them both, but I especially enjoyed Moses holding the D&D tablet in the original. Your editing in the update is much tighter. I'm waiting for the OSE kickstarter to ship. Now you have me regretting my purchase of all their awesome swag. I jest, of course. Thanks for another great video.

I was at a very early convention held in Lake Geneva before GenCon became official, I was listening to Gary Gygax when he said, "All you really need to play this game are these. and he held up a d20 and a pencil"

PDM, the first video was fine and made the points you were professing. However, this one was an improvement with greater nuance. I also agree with your thoughts regarding this particular subject. Home brew is also D&D even if it deviates from the rule books. We tailor our games to meet the needs of our tables and the players. Anyway, great video.

Very much like this one. And I think it is spot on. Frankly, it is ALL D and D. Even other games. what a great hobbies that there can be so many ways to play.

Good point, but for me "real" D&D is AD&D. Just like Star Wars is really what people call episode VI: A New Hope. But I say play the game you want and that you enjoy!

I like both. I like the little things you cut out from the first too.. like the religion reference or the model opener statements people make that you address but I'm leaning towards the 2nd (latest version) as it is a bit more polished.

Episode V The Empire Strikes Back is till the best Star Wars. :)

Love seeing Mr. Horse from Ren and Stimpy!

I grant you inspiration for mentioning Billy Joel and the Cure! I will check out the Pathfinder guy as that's the game I play most regularly (and yes I have a swashbuckler), he's taking you extremely literally saying that PF isn't D&D. When I tell someone what I do on a Wednesday night, I just say "I play D&D", I don't say "Well, have you heard of Pathfinder? It's like D&D but crunchier".

My favorite Mr. Horse segment was when Ren and Stimpy were selling rubber niples. Very twisted.

I've considered not using advantage and disadvantage on skill rolls but simply sliding the difficulty of some rolls between 10-15 based upon the class. Trying to bust down a door? The fighter has to beat a dc 10 while a rogue has to roll a dc 15. Maybe even make it so a wizard or sorcerer has to beat a dc 20. Open a lock, rogue, bard and ranger beat a dc 10
