um and what's the highest level that you have dm'd in the past 20. nice you've gone all the way to 20
0:08
yes you're braver man than me how was that dming all the way up to 20. a lot of fun i i have my
0:18
experience has been atypical from what people usually say of it being really hard to run at
0:22
high levels when i and this is when i was first starting out i haven't done level 20 stuff in a
0:26
long time but it was all homebrew and it was kind of just like whatever goes goes and I dare say a
0:34
lot of D&D groups are that way where people are just having fun and they're along for the ride
0:38
and they don't have super high expectations from the DM to have like some intricate story and have
0:43
mastery of over every mechanic and I see how to D&D Fred in the comments right now and he just did
0:49
a video recently saying and this was a big light bulb moment for me that level 20 or high level
0:56
campaign play is really more on the players to make it work because they need to learn a lot more
1:02
mechanics you know they gain followers you have a lot more influence and if you put that on the dm
1:07
the dm is just going to burn out or not care and so uh i think the players i was playing with they
1:13
had lots of ideas and they didn just put it on me to like do some grandiose thing and they weren trying to like abuse high level spells or anything so it was really easy i seen what people can do with high level mechanics and other campaigns and other discussions and i think i i handle those
1:29
just fine i'm not someone who's like oh they didn't do exactly what i wanted them to do like i'm
1:34
again i'm very comfortable with improvising and going off script and so my script is usually pretty
1:40
bear and so i'm happy with that kind of stuff so i am happy with low or high level play i just need
1:46
players to be ready for the high level stuff so they know what they can do yeah i think that's a
1:51
really good point actually i made the mistake of thinking it would be a fun idea to get some
1:56
relatively new dnd players to make level 20 characters to do a battle royale style thing
2:03
thinking it would be really fun like you know again level 20 but what the session actually
2:09
boiled down to was then being like so how does how does this spell work can i do this what can i and
2:14
it i think it literally was a seven hour session of combat that wasn't very fun um so i learned
2:21
that yeah level 28 there is a lot on the on the characters when on the plate sorry when it gets
2:26
to level 20 that's a good point
