The video is not a group of gamers, rather it is a narrated, immersive experience of combat and adventuring in D&D 5th edition. It features storytelling-like narration, a hand-drawn encounter map, miniatures, custom fantasy music, and unobtrusive text explanations of rules as they occur.

Good stuff.  I enjoyed a number of your videos having to do with 4e, and I'm glad to see some stuff for 5e.  Great example of how a utility spell like Jump can come in handy during combat as well.

I love this, and other videos you've made too.

 

I'm sure this is very helpful for people learning to run combat.   Your narration is great and even in this 16 min video you show a number of combat mechanics and ways to adjudicate.  Bravo.

I'm with everyone else, this is very helpful for people learning to run combat in 5E.  Look forward to seeing more videos with 5E mechanics.

This is great, thank you.  I'm running a game with mostly new players and I think this will be very helpful.  I've subscribed to your channel and I can't wait to see more.

Great job on the video! Very informative! Also, I just subscribed to your chanel.

 

On a side note, I thought Wizards was going to do video's on DnD 5E game play, I guess I heard wrong.

Hey cool video, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to more.

 

Quick rules question.  Very beginning, Jor and Thug 1 had disadvantage on their shots against Innyk.... you only showed the results, so don't know if they forgot or not...
