This is what I'm working on right now. Question: would you click on this thumbnail?

Donald Koenig

Yes. But if you mean combat, I would add that word

Kristopher R. Hunter

Sure. Curious about the topic though, my games run rather quickly, in part because I listened to your advice and stopped thumbing through rulebooks :)

Stefan

Yes, but then again, i click on every one of your videos

Bagel-Man

I’d click on any video you’d make regardless of its thumbnail. But I like this one, it gets the point of the video across in a nice way. But if you want to appeal to youtube algorithm maybe get rid of “damn”.

Robbie S.

For me, an avid YouTube D&D consumer, this topic is heavily covered. I think a little more lure into your aspect of the conversation might hook me more. Unless your reason is tortles. Then it's great 😃

Tony Camaj

Yes! Lol. So true, especially at higher levels.

Scott Spears

Yes. Good use of icon images.

Juandissimo Magnanimo

It doesn't speak to me. If I didn't already follow you? Probably not.

Graham Kane

Yes I would click. But the title alone is click-baity enough to grab my attention.

JoePest

Agree with Graham

MagicMurlo

Who am I to disagree? But, I was gonna say yes.

Papa Zaph

Yeah. The white background works well with the text.

Lee Caddick

I found myself wanting to write 'I think I probably would' which seems like a lot of prevarication when what I really mean is 'yes'.

Jay, Dr Fugue

love the catch line, but the thumbnail could be more eye catching?

Andrew

beyond doubt

Daniel Gray Webb

Think it could be a little better but I really like the idea. Maybe rearrange it or something.

Dave Walker

can't resist clicking on that

Dennis Cooper

On my tv, the YouTube cursor border that highlights the thumbnail is white like your background, so I would have a higher chance of unintentionally clicking it. But with that clickbait title, I would click it on purpose.

Melissa K

Yes, you got me with the 🐢

PerilDice

Perhaps, "damned"? I'd probably watch it.

Trouqe

Indeed

Jim Van Cura

I asked my boys (8 & 10) and they said they would. My 8 year old, when reading it, spelled D-A-M-N and said he didn't want to read the "bad word" and now he's worried there may be foul language in the video - Lol!

Justin Watson

That's affirmative, Ghost Rider.

Matthew Crismali

Sure, I would watch it, but I'm also feeling done with 5e. Eager for more non-5e content.

Joseph Massey

Yes. If your worried about the language being offensive I’d say very little is outside of the common vernacular anymore…

Frederic Schmitt

Yes, because I watch all PDM videos. But to be honest, I don’t care for D&D at all. I am here for the system agnostic stuff only 😇

David Ford

Sure I’d click on it but, even though I spent almost three decades in the Army and am fluent in “colorful metaphors”, I’d change damned to darned.

Stephen McKowen

Probably not because your channel influenced me to move away from 5e.

tek2way

I would watch it, but I tend to seek out your videos anyway. :)

Roland Ocon

I would click on anything you post

Glumer Games LLC

Of course I would. I click on all your stuff. 5e is too bloated and it uses an initiative and to hit system that has slowed every edition down.

BrianV

Yes, just to add to my decision to not get involved with it.

Rolling Thunder

Yes, looks good. The pace of 5E is one of the (many) reasons I don't play that version of D&D.

Jared Davis

No, I believe you can create a better graphic. Maybe a photo of you encouraging a slow 5e tortle to run faster? Good luck to you.

Chuck Thorin

If I saw it come up in my feed, nope. Because it's Dungeoncraft, maybe.

Shawn Allee

Yes, but you should consider another another color than white in the background, or another background entirely.

Karl Agius

Yes, for sure. But I usually click as soon as I see your channel name, the thumbnail is nearly irrelevant to me.

samurguybri

The bait would be clicked by me.

DmChef

The title is great but the images are distracting. Use some AI and get a knight riding a slug.

J L

Yes, this is such a core problem for my group. We all know about this, we talk about this as a group so try to make it not slow, we all try to play fast, I try so hard to be prepared as the dm, but it's still slow. 3 years 2 months of sessions. The problem is that we all love combat. But, we love the story that's emerging after all of this as well. Its so DAMN slow. Clickbait != false. Send it.

Jason Lennie

Great concept, layout needs some work as type and images are fighting each other for attention. Curious for the video at the very least!!!

Saltheart

Perhaps even have the turtle on the Right with speed lines coming out from behind... and the D&D logo facing right and behind the turtle... implying that D&D is slower than the turtle... and the caption can sit above the turtle? Might have to make the D&D logo smaller scale to better infer that it is "Racing" the turtle tho... Just a thought... :-)

Or flip the turtle around to face Left... then add speed lines... and shrink the Logo a bit for scale... easier than recreating the whole thing... Keep up the Fantastic Content!

Ed Krystowski

Yes, but I’d have the turtle riding a snail :)

jnlsn family

No, not negative enough. I would like to see a combat wheelchair.

Thorne Tanaka

Yes, but the dragon is distracting

Darkwan75

Yea, the answer is yes.

Steven

Sure would.

Simon Fiasco

I would... but I would make the background black and the text white.
