For a while now, I've been thinking that I should make a TRUE beginner's guide to D&D — not just "how to develop a personality" or "things all new players should know," but an actual breakdown of how the game is played, on a basic level. So here's that video!

This is for newbies (particularly those who haven't played Actual Play or similar, the ones who truly do not know how the format of the game works!) but also for DMs who introduce newbies to the game. I know that explaining basic gameplay when you're so marinated in it can be really tough, so hopefully this gives you a little guidance on how to approach the game from a beginner's perspective.

(Also, you will see in this video JUST how unnecessary my Barbie customization was 😂)

Love the Barbie-barian montage honestly, it may have been unnecessary, but it was cool to see. And the mimics messing with the dice during the sponsor segments were very cool

Disclaimer: Sorry but No, you may not use your Barbie on the battlemat. Nice subversion of the Always Carry a Sword trope though. :)

I’m excited to watch this, my BG3 barbarian in our friend game that fizzled was named Bahrbie and I miss her 😅

This is a great intro video! Definitely a good resource to show a brand new player
