The DM is the game system. Some have more processing power than others. Don't over load your DM or you get lag.

I accidentally volunteered to be a DM for my younger cousins (I'm 26, they're all around 15/14). They all have pretty bad social anxiety, and we aren't very close. They really want to play, but needed a DM. I'm hoping this can be a fun way for us to hang out, and bring them out of their shell a bit!
Thank you for making these videos, it really helps. I want to learn as much as I can before our first session!

9:50 "You're at the beginning of a really exciting journey and I'd be honored if my channel could be a small part of that" that definitely hits hard! I found the "How to Play D&D" videos almost 3 years ago. This channel kick started the most amazing hobby I've ever been a part of. Thanks so much Nate for all the content and positivity, learning to play D&D and watching these videos will be in my core memories!

I am a 40 yr old female who has suddenly decided I now want to learn how to play D&D after years of re-watching Big Bang Theory...but I was very uncertain about where to even begin!

Thanks to this video, I just ordered the recommended starter kit...fingers crossed!...and will definitely be watching your other vids while wwting for it to arrive!

Thanks again for this channel! Especially from those of us who want to try something new, can now do so without feeling like the complete noob we actually are! 😂😜

My daughter and I have been thinking of starting to learn D&D. This video was the first one I've watched, I found it very helpful and informative. I now have a better understanding of getting started, including an idea of which starter kit to get. Thank you.

Dude, thanks for this. My boys came back home from their dad's with a new box of this game and I'm clueless with it. I was confused about a lack of board and overwhelmed with the books of rules. This video will get us started 👍🏼

I have always wanted to play DnD, but I didn't have any friends growing up and the one's I have now are not into DnD. I want to learn how to play and really play so bad. I feel it would also help with my social anxiety. Please help

I HIGHLY recommend d&d, or any similar game.
Its a great way to expand you mind.
If you like puzzles and brain teasers, its a good way to socialize while doing just that.

Excellent video as always Nate, and welcome to any new D&D players (or those considering it) who are watching! Definitely agree with your advice that it's best to find someone else who already knows how to play and join a session. You can even ask to "observe" a few sessions first to understand how the game works. Or just grab/borrow a box set or the Player's Handbook and try to create a character or two to get started, that's how I began 😄

A friend of mine recommended your channel, as my 8 year old son and I are just getting into D&D (I'm 42), I've found your begginers videos helpful, informative, and actually fun to watch; as I've already designed two characters for my son and wife.

We're getting ready to start the Phandelver campaign, and I couldn't be more excited!

[ryrify]

I’ve been wishing I knew how to play D&D for a while now, but haven’t known how to get started. Thank you for your suggestions!

[sliat]

I got the handbook and it’s like a novel. Now I have to get the monster manual and do guide to start my own campaign. Going to take over a year to read 3 novels

[mdkline]

Thank you so much. My mind was all over the place and you waded through the waste and got my focus back

[thevalleyofeverything]

My friend invited me, a person who has never played DnD, to a DnD party this Monday and this helped me get a basic idea of what I’m getting myself into. It’s on Monday, I’ll say what happens

[JazzoBeat]

I really didn't know anything regarding DND for a long time, I always heard about it and have friends who play it, this video helps me get more into the loop and I can get more involved with questions regarding how my friends dnd sessions went, thanks an lot!

[steamyrivers]

Glad I stumbled upon your channel... From South Africa - And Starting a DnD group in my city. All the players are very new to the DnD-World, so will be teaching them through using your channel... I've been playing for years but have found I get very angsty when I have to teach peeps how to play - ergo - Your Channel!! Thanks for the uploads man - Will Support anyway I can!!

[angelpena]

I absolutely loved this video! Your old "How to play D&D" was actually the video that hooked me into this amazing hobby. I tried to read the rule books first, but as you stated, they are quite hefty! I am now deep into 3 different campaigns and DMing all of them! It has helped me so much with my mental health, and I absolutely love teaching others and watching them form into their characters right in front of my eyes ⚔️

[Rosie-pozw]

My friends talk about D&D often and i literally had no idea what it was. Thank you for an amazing and informative explanation. I can say, it definitely has my interest peeked. I feel like this might just become hobby of mine.
Thank you!!

Lots of good information in this video. My wife and I are in our early 50s and we are thinking about starting a tabletop role-playing game, and weren’t sure how to get started.

[Coleen-ozwq]

I've wanted to play since I was 16, a teenager, and then living in New Orleans, the thing is I've searched for people to play with, I don't care for computers much, , and wanted to play tabletop, Well, I'm in my 50s now, and found my people, your videos are giving me great advice, which I'll take.Remember you don't have to be a kid to enjoy good gaming😊
