You Dudes' takes on the situation have always been calm, measured and reassuring throughout this whole process. Not to mention, not clickbaity. Always appreciated

[macarandicheese]

That was the most exhausted “we are the dungeon dudes” I’ve ever heard. And it was so very relatable. Bless you guys and your team ❤

12:15 “The Dungeon Dudes don’t just need to be a D&D channel”

Same ✅

[billieflaming]

I like the featuring of third-party books on the bookshelf behind you guys. A good touch.

[TreantmonksTemple]

I am very glad to see the SRD under creative commons and I completely agree that committing to creative commons in the future would be a very positive thing for rebuilding trust with WotC.

[JoaquinGonzalez-vanckx]

I began my path with D&D in large part because of your channel. I learned so much as a DM and as a Player in the past year. My first DM'd campaign will be turning 1 year old this Saturday. Whatever path you choose to follow, just know, you have my sincerest thanks for everything you have taught me!

[ogion]

I love the Dungeon Dudes, these guys are like the paladins of this world

[RinaJosscy]

Great video and a great mindset. Will keep following you and your "classes" videos.

[timholbert]

Bless you both and your team. I really appreciate your emphasis on kindness... that's one of the reasons I came to this community. Your channel was the first one I found when I started learning to GM and I am sticking with you.

[wmashley]

your last video on this debacle is what inspired me to join your patreon community. your passion for this game and thoughtfulness really comes through. thank you!

[Xecryo]

I'm very glad you guys made an update video. I've been following this very casually (I am not a content creator so not much would have changed for me) and once they reversed it my first thought was "Ok but what if they change their mind again?" because I did not want to say see the movie or buy books if they were still screwing over you or any of my favorite D&D content creators. So it is good to know that this is now set in stone. I'll always pull for you guys in any way I can because as D&D taught me, when someone attacks the party we all roll initiative.

[paullambert]

Thanks guys, I’m so proud of the way the community came together over this, and you both are no small part of that. Love your analysis, attitude and energy and I think your tone throughout the debacle has been pitch perfect. I’m so glad that you- and we- can get back to doing what we all love. Thanks again. 🙏

[GunnerM]

My DM recently bought the Pathfinder core set and been looking through it, but we have been continually playing Rime of the Frostmaiden through this whole fiasco. He still has a ton of the other modules we haven't played. Keep playing what you love, be respectful to the design team at Wizards, and keep having fun!

[richardkeehner]

Well stated Kelly and Monty! Thank you for all that you do.

[techknight]

I think Monty put it best... this is a dream scenario. They really just... listened, and not just that, they took instant action... (begrudgingly)

[santiagoquerolmorfin]

We got an awesome victory, and can't ignore it. DnD is for everyone and we will always fight for creative minds like the dungeon dudes to have a place to share ur ideas. Thx for the great content

[d.k.t.]

When you first reported on this situation, I could hear the anger you were trying to suppress for the sake of professionalism. In this video, I can see the relief in your eyes. I respect the professionalism on both accounts, but I know which I prefer to see from you. Just know, wherever the path takes your channel next, I am long for the ride.

You go, dancing Ewoks! You GO!

[bigmikebeebee]

Thanks Dudes for always reiterating your love for D&D and the WotC creative team in all these videos. Personally I'm only interested in watching your 5e/OneD&D videos so I'll skip the others, but your D&D videos are miles ahead of the pack and I really look forward to more!

[CaptainXJ]

My current campaign (set in the Forgotten Realms) still has at minimum a year's worth of adventures left and I never had any intention of abandoning it. It has always been peppered throughout with fantastic third party adventures I've worked into the narrative. Very glad WotC made the move they did, but the fire they stoked into third party scene should be fun to watch.

[TheRewyn]

"The dungeon dudes just dont need to be a D&D Channel"--I literally cheered out loud when I heard this. I can't tell you how excited I'm to have content creators as great as you guys to look into other TTRPGS that do not get the attention. Creator coverage is so important to introduce players to new and existing smaller systems to draw in those players who would play or run the games if only they knew how cool they were.
