D&D 6th Edition Has Already Been Made (And Not By WotC)

This video talks about how the new game system DC20 diverges from D&D 5th edition and attempts to improve upon the flaws of that system. What do you think?

Will was a PRO at DC20... it was honestly crazy to see him MASTERFULLY play a brand new game, it was truly impressive! Great work and great video, I have been blown away by how much you have swept in and loved up DC20, so thank you for that bro!

"He just flexed his muscles and people's brains exploded" is not a sentence I thought I'd add to my collection but it's too funny not to like

[Ramschat]

Well, when a designer makes a game that is this heavily based on/inspired by D&D, I think it's more than fair to compare the two.

[Texmexium]

Completely agreed. Back when Dungeon Coach originally posted about his action points system it blew my mind. It was similar to Pathfinder's 3 action point system, but by turning the 'once per turn' reaction from Pathfinder into a fourth action point and letting any action point be used as a reaction, it makes every player's turn something where any player can be involved in the action and drama instead of having the players mentally wander off while they wait until they get to do something again. Frigging brilliant.

Man he sure finessed that plug for his guide real nice

[njfernandes]

No system is perfect, would be nice to also hear about the possible shortcomings of the system. looks great though

The combo attack thing is something I've played around with as a DM in 5e for some time, but it's mostly like this (using an actual example from combat):
1. Player asks if he can be used as a thrown weapon on their pet manticore's turn.
2. I question my sanity and say "Explain it to me"
3. Player explains that he wants to use a manticore's tail spike attack but instead of three spike launches, we'd have 1 Mike the Bard launch.
4. I love this idea so I say yes, provided the manticore hits and the player is ok with taking bludgeoning damage.
5. Player is really excited.
6. Attack hits and everyone around the table was whooping in happiness.
7. 5e RAW is off crying in a corner somewhere

The Ancestry system is pretty much "An Elf and an Orc Had a Little Baby" codified directly into a game system, and I love that. (HIGHLY recommend that book, btw. Along with "Ancestral Weapons".)

[dragonova]

So just a tiny idea but would you ever try say a video of your favorite premade campaign books. Btw thank you for all the amazing content you put out and the love and call out to what Jocat had to suffer through. Thank you.

[carthienesdevilsadvocatenr]

Yes please, more on various TTRPG systems and how they stack up against each other would be nice!

[BrunoFernandes-tymf]

Dude really played Flex Mentallo in a TTRPG. Nice!

[shogunbirds]

I screamed when you showed Legends of Avantris, I love those guys so much. They're hilarious and all of their campaigns are fucking awesome

[jonathanmichel]

From a DM standpoint the four action and no initiative makes running multiple monsters much easier. Monsters can react based on what the players do, and dragon breath and other cool features can take up multiple action slots. You can also just give extra actions to your bosses, instead of legendary and Lair actions

[galaxyfoxnightsky]

I love dc20 charactars feel soo much fun too play and so powerful right at lvl 1 i hope evryone got a Chance too play

[tabletophoenix]

Fantastic video. I love your content but it makes me so so happy to see you make DC20 content now.

[galaxyfoxnightsky]

Love too see a even deeper dive into DC20 from you

[Swiftstar]

The DC20 system sounds like a lot of fun, I'll definitely check it out!!

[cableman]

I first heard about DC20 from you and can't thank you enough. It's definitely my favorite TTRPG now and I hope more people see this video and get hyped enough to learn more.

[nathanschmaltz]

I definitely want more deep dives into the newer systems and other alternatives to dnd. Always appreciate your pov.

[MikkosFree]

I'm scrtching my head while smiling. A lot of these rules are things I already do at my table on my custom game rules. I'm so glad someone had the same thought processes and actually managed to organize and create the system. I want to back it, but right now the hard cover is about 2 weeks salary for me (3rd world). But I will definitely support this system when it comes out.
