I am definitely interested in #18! I'm always wracking my brain trying to think of ways to make travel interesting for my players, as they will have to be doing a lot of it. I don't just want them fast traveling everywhere though, so I want to make travel interesting and fun for them not just by throwing combat at them. A video on spicing up travel and varied encounters would be a great resource!

Just discovered your channel and what awesome content! I started playing D&D in 1980 with the White Set and left the hobby in 1995 when my job made uber demands of my time, resources, soul, etc. Just cleaned out a bunch of campaign notes and PCs I played in the distant past which re-ignited my interest. The game has changed A LOT since 1995! Your examples of pertinent DM screen info reminded me that technical knowledge of the rules is important, but the ability to improvise on-the-fly can make or break a game. Where were you in 1983!? We could have used this coaching back then!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, enthusiasm, and hard work!!

It’s a series of extended grapple conditions, almost like tree branches of what you can do once you’ve grappled someone. Like Wrestling lol - Make prone -> Restrain - Grab a specific section/ body part to stop them from attacking/ limit their attacking capabilities - dealing damage to grappled targets and keeping the grapple - trying to wrestle / damage body parts/ arm bar/ breaking stuff (UFC style lol) - even stopping spell casters from casting spells (harder to do) Entire rule set on a tackle mechanic too lol Just situational for if players get crazy Had a barbarian than ran his character like a UFC star

Right, I need some clarification on "back of the screen" and "behind the screen".... are those not... the same thing???? Your behind the screen video seems to basically talk about the same thing, i.e. what you add to the side of the screen that you as the DM look at during play and that your players don't see. What is the difference???? Or do you mean behind the screen in this video as in like, behind you, on the wall type thing?

200 gold would be $20K not 200K if we assume 1gold is $100. Ultimately DnD's value system is mostly arbitrary, but maybe one could say that in a world with magic lots of other values would get distorted. That said, relative prices of objects will never make sense Just to compare, a house is 200gold & your chart puts a first level healing potion at 50. That would make just 1d6+(CON) worth a quarter of a house, so basically taking a potion equivalent to 1 short rest hit-die of a wizard would be either $5K if we treat a gold piece like $100 or it will be (relative to a house) like buying a fairly expensive car
