#Dael Kingsmill

[heytherecentaurs]

The quality of D&D actual play shows has only steadily increased over time. Every player is better than when they started, every DM is better, every member of each production crew is better, the editing and sound design in the podcasts is better, the encounter design is better, etc… I absolutely love the stuff from 5+ years ago and it’s only a testament to the people involved that they’ve made things better. We’re living at the best possible time for D&D content and there’s enough variety that you can find something to your taste. And that’s just great.

[brainrockets]

Getting Brennan to DM new content is a smart move by WoTC. And a delightful cast. A+ advertising effort.

Yaaay we don't have to watch it live. I thought I was going to miss it.

Live at Gen Con w/ Brennan Lee Mulligan | D&D

Seriously, watch this. Watch it on Firefox with ublock origin and any other anti-tracking/ad-blocking plugins of your choice, because youtube sucks.

And throw a grain of salt on it, because WotC has done some shitty & disappointing stuff.

But watch it. It’s so much fun, it’s a one-shot, and there are so many EXCELLENT lines. Gabe Hicks especially was absolutely on fire.

[felagund-fiollaigean]

dael kingsmill is good and right about most things but I object to the process of starting a homebrew pantheon with "one good story." Your first step is figuring out what a god is.

did the gods create the world or are they merely a part of it. are people made in their image or are they totally separate beings? are the race or gender or age assigned to them an actual fundamental part of them or is any physical form associated with them a human construction? which came first: the first prayer, or the first god? is it possible for a person to become a god? if so, how?

now we can play.

Pegasus and the Chimera (Plus that Other Dude) || Mythology w/ Dael King...

[the-wrat]

Hello interwebs may i have some vaguely ominous government official titles for D&D pleas?

[what-even-is-thiss]

I know there’s other mythology channels with illustrations and such now but my favorite mythology YouTuber is probably still Dael Kingsmill because she just sits down and tells you a story. I’m still kinda sad she doesn’t make a lot of mythology content anymore. It’s understandable because people change and the art they make changes with them, but I still miss it.

She got me into searching through primary sources and looking into stuff outside of Egyptian mythology before I even took my mythology and ancient lit courses in college. Watching her on the geek & sundry channel in my senior year of high school got me obsessed.

And again, she just tells the myths by telling them. Channels like OSP, Jake Doubleyoo, and Mythology&Fiction explained are all absolutely wonderful and their illustrations and animations are wonderful too. But nothing else quite hits the same as some rando just plopping down in front of you with toast in their mouth and going “Hey I’m about to tell you a story. Listen up.”

Ttrpg Recs: my bookshelf!

I don't have that many games in physical form. But inspired by the lovely Dael Kingsmill's recent video, I want to do a little post about the ones I do own.

Animal Adventures by Steamforged Games

Animal Adventures is a third party setting for 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons. I picked up Secrets of Gullet Cove on clearance, and it's full of fun adventure hooks for a younger audience than usual for 5E. However, a member of my dnd group wants to run this at some stage, so it has a wider appeal among fans of cute critter rpgs too.

It's fairly easy to incorporate ideas from this book into your home games. A guest in my Strixhaven campaign wanted to play a character who had been transformed into a cat. The cat stats from this book fit right in with the other characters, who were all created using official 5E materials.

Fate Accelerated by Evil Hat

The first rpg I ever purchased! It's simple, streamlined, and flexible enough to run in any setting you can imagine. We'd planned to play 'card games in space' at one stage (after watching too much yu-gi-oh), and the system works as well for that as it does for urban fantasy, pirates, or magic schools. You can access the rules of this game for free at the link in the heading.

The main issue I ran into with Fate is that it uses a specialised set of dice called Fudge dice- but as long as you have a device that can download a dice app, you're good to go!

Girl By Moonlight by Evil Hat

I backed this one on Kickstarter. It's not the easiest book to navigate but, gosh, it's just so beautiful and the game is a great time once you get the hang of it! I ended up ordering five copies, because a bunch of my friends wanted the game too and Expensive International Shipping is more manageable if you split it. Tragic magical girls from the creators of Thirsty Sword Lesbians? It is just as excellent as I'd hoped.

Just the other week we played At the Brink of the Abyss using the core book and relevant one-session playkit. Transcendence is a great mechanic- players get to describe their character's unique transformation and feel powerful with the addition of new abilities! Our Midnight Quill was running around invisible for half the game. Raven's mother was knocked out with a well-flung shoe. It was very fun and very silly.

Girl By Moonlight is a Forged in the Dark game. If you're familiar with Blades in the Dark, Brinkwood, Court of Blades, or my own simplified fitd game Voidwalkers, the system is easily picked up.

Lex Arcana by Quality Games

Lex Arcana is an interesting one. It has a fascinating premise: a Roman empire that never fell, in a low-magic setting. I had a lot of fun running this as a short adventure for my classics-buff brother's birthday last year. However, the group agreed that it would be difficult to play this one long term.

This has nothing to do with the rules system, which has an enjoyable amount of crunch for those who like their games that way, but enough abstraction that running it was not a complete nightmare for a more narratively inclined GM such as myself. Rather, it was difficult for us to get past the fact that so many of its adventure modules involve you preventing indigenous populations from breaking away from the empire, often casting their spiritual views in a negative light.

I had an idea for a campaign called 'Enemies of the Empire', which involves the party having to go up against it, but we'll see if it ever comes to fruition.

Tales of Xadia by Fandom Tabletop

I love the Cortex system. I love systems that use dice pools, and my first experience with that was the Tales of Xadia playtest. I couldn't afford the full version when it released, and so I was very excited when I received it for my birthday last year in glorious hardcover!

Tales of Xadia is set in the world of the Dragon Prince (even if you're not into ttrpgs, the book is excellent for additional lore nuggets. For a year or more it was our best resource for what earthblood elves might look like.) It's a world of high magic, mages and assassins and bold warriors, imperious dragons and reclusive elves. And it's totally classless- score one for the fans of classless systems!

Saw a post talking about the difference between resurrection and Necromancy and I am firmly of the opinion that resurrection IS necromancy!

I’m gonna consider that statement from Omar as in-character, Dael Kingsmill is canonically a pedantic fey who has opinions about labyrinths and mazes.
