I do character builds for RPGs on my YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@DnDDeepDive, but I’m also a happy husband and father who loves games, books, music, mountains, food, and travel.

I’ve had access to the digital version of the new DnD Faerûn books for weeks now, but nothing compares to ink and paper. The feel… the smell… I just can’t get as lost in it all looking at a screen like I can holding it in my hands…

The only thing better than singing along with your girls while watching K-Pop Demon Hunters is singing along with your girls while watching K-Pop Demon Hunters on the big screen AND a packed theater of others who are doing the same.

Could we build a D&D character who just made *one single attack* in combat that was... effective? What if it was an unarmed strike? youtu.be/mg_3mTuEdK4

Ok, the Single-class build videos are doing great, but I don't want people to get burned out. This week I'm taking a break from that series; would you rather see me alternate between the Single-class series and other stuff or just stick to the Single-class builds until we get through all of them?

So, I finished Dungeon Crawler Carl book 7, put it down, walked over to my book shelf and grabbed book 1 and immediately just started rereading the series.

Here we go - an entire D&D party build dedicated to creating a "high five tunnel" that a single character runs through to get super-buffed thanks to Attack of Opportunities made on them from their allies. What's the worst that could happen? youtu.be/6K25YRPu6_s
