Feels like he is kinda lacking in women players, which is a shame. A feminine presence can add so much to a roleplaying table !
C’mon ladies, dont be afraid, really, you’ll have tons of fun joining a campaign I promise.
And we need more people like Robert in this world. 🙂

Well, that beats my 23 year game. Granted, mine started as a homebrew setting that evolved into using TSR settings…. Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, Planescape; and even, to a lesser extent, Birthright…. all have been woven together into the continuous timeline (or should I say, “timelines,” as I’ve made use of the Chronomancer book) of one ongoing big-picture campaign.

Yikes. I respect his control of his life and commitment to HIS game, but wouldn’t want to spend hours in this guy’s house for “fun!” Having played D&D since 1983, I’ve learned that it’s not about the setting, world or campaign -it’s about the people!
He’s said I/me/my dozens of times, but barely said “their enjoyment” or “their fun.” Those are some a big red flags. But oh well, everyone can still have fun their own way.

He’s spot on about the Satanic Panic in the 80s and early 90s. A group of classmates I wasn’t friends with invited me to join their DnD group when they saw me drawing a dwarf battling a demon in my notebook. I loved everything fantasy growing up. My mom put a stop to all that and made me join sports teams instead to keep me busy after school. Thanks mom, this is one of the many reasons I don’t talk to you anymore.

What level do some of these characters get to
POTP Printing
May 1, 2022 at 9:50 pm
Hey Tim,
We get to many various levels; and the leveling system for characters and enemies are a little different than standard DnD.
Currently my character (and first in Roberts game; 4 years real time) is Lvl 26 overall: Lvl 19 Ranger, Lvl 16 Warlock
We are nowhere near godlike characters and there’s many times that we feel the power of the enemies we face.
I’ve lost many character ‘friends’ in game; only to then help their offspring as they start anew as members of our party.

This is truly awesome. Only recently I’ve started playing D&D (5e) and not too long before that was when I discovered it, I’m in my early 20’s and for the first time in a long time I feel like I found something that makes me happy, and I hope to bring or spark this same feeling in others too. I’m about to start a solo campaign with my sister who just turned 20 and even though I feel like I probably will never be the best DM and this role stresses me out, it makes me really happy just knowing she accepted coming into this with me and building a world together.

Says they have the best D&D game in the world but doesn’t let the players touch their own figurines. Aight, sounds like the best alright. Best to who mate? people who started in the 80s? A lot of figs and terrain does not a great DM make. Happy that your game has lasted this long but “best D&D game” is subjective and means something different to each person.

This style of playing the game is known as a West Marches campaign. It’s designed to allow as many adults with adult schedules to play dnd as possible. They’re not exactly designed to run for multiple decades but their structure certainly allows for that a little more than your traditional, 5-7 person group of regulars.

The idea of a person crying over the death of their character isn’t weird to me. People cry over fictional character deaths all the time. Prime example being Lion King. I’d argue the game character is more intense because it’s a part of you.

“Rock music is the devil. D&D is the devil. If I don’t like the way you look, you’re the devil.” Pretty much sums up the religious fanatics and their sycophants that rail against the unknown in the case that God doesn’t have enough time in the day to deal with something as minor as music, literature or gaming. I hate fanatic asswipes that want to control everyone in the name of their gods.

I admire him for his devotion. I grew up in church and as a kid I bought a D&D set and our pastor at the time found out about it and told my parents to burn it (and my Smurf curtains). Thankfully they thought he was crazy and refused. I loved D&D but when I discovered Paranoia I started playing and DMing Paranoia more because it was funny.

Haven’t seen it in the 4 years I’ve been playing. I’ve seen a number of my friends (ie. in game characters) pass away/die. The game continues because we create family lines so we eventually pick up the gauntlet as our sons and daughters.
That’s where new 1st lvl characters come to be and why goblins can still be a hinderance as we progress throughout the world.

my god. this is worrying to me a bit. i have been having ongoing campaign with my friends and my wife for over 10 years now. ive also adapted my rules in similar fashion. created my own world and i keep writing to this day at least few pages a day. if im not having anything else to do i write and build worlds, and there is no end in sight. will i end up like this one day? is that necessarily a bad thing? guess ill find out.

ただひとつ気になるのはダイスロールが美しくありません。
マスターの手元とはいえ、テーブルに直接ロールするのはどうなんでしょうか？
ロール専用のボウルを用意するとか、工夫は出来ると思います。
それはプレイヤーも同じ事が考えられます。
ダイスロールは公正で明確化され、美しくあるべきだと私は考えています。

hahhaa 1:09 he is playing for 1,2 million minutes which gives 1,2 million/60×24 is 833 days a year. This man has been playing DnD so long he is changing the laws of time
Black Cat Red River
May 7, 2022 at 6:31 pm
I think the calculation was 10 hours per week x 52 weeks per year = 520 hours per year x 40 years of playing = 20,800 hours total, which would then = 1,248,000 minutes. So no laws of physics or time have been broken. Although knowing Rob, that’s probably a conservative estimate for how much time he actually devotes to game-related matters per week. If he’s just talking about session time with players actually at the table, then 10 hours might be an average. If he’s talking about game-related matters, then my semi-educated guess would be that the average weekly time investment is much higher than 10 hours.

Respect. This guy has a PASSION, a reason and meaning to his life which most religious people should envy. When I was first approached to play D&D years ago I thought I was too cool for it (which just shows how insecure I was: I thought my ex-wife would make fun of me tbh.) Now, I envy this guy’s commitment and passion for something he loves. This is actually making the world a better place too. I can only hope I find something I care about this much when I’m ~50.

That seems like a full time job. I have plenty of RPG stuff myself but nowadays I am happy to get 2 games in each month and Covid killed off all campaigns I was involved in.
Robert should consider recording his sessions, have someone edit them down and release them on YouTube. It would get some add revenues that if nothing else he could use to buy new props.

Robert’s games look wonderful and his passion and creativity are evident, but to claim your D&D game to be the “best in the world” is awfully hubristic. Robert is clearly excellent at a very specific sort of D&D, which emphasizes miniatures, model building and set construction. There are many wide and varied forms of D&D (and RPGs in general) which are equally as detailed, just as technical, and as lovingly crafted as Robert’s games, which don’t even descend into the physical realm of miniatures – games contained entirely by the Theater of the Mind. This form of play relies heavily on lyrical and narrative immersion. Words are crafted with the same meticulous energy that Robert pours into his sets (watching Robert narrate his game, he is clearly no lyricist). For many, Robert’s games may indeed represent the “best in the world.” For others, they might miss the mark on what they feel is subjectively important in D&D. Claiming your table to be the “best in the world” is like a musician making the same claim of their compositions: no matter how brilliant the music might be, the claim is not only preposterous but spectacularly egoic.

9:59: “More than anything else, the game represents friendship. And I find that friendship is based on planks. You need something to hold it together. So we may have gone to high school together, but as we go through our lives, unless we have a plank, we’re not going to get together. We’re not going to fly to see each other. So, as long as I can keep doing it, hopefully for all of my life, I won’t lose my friends.”
And there you have the crux of the matter. How many people that you liked or loved do you miss now, and how many friendships have fallen away because your life wasn’t structured to hold them? Wardhaugh’s found a way to combat that, and good on him for knowing why that’s important. I hope *my* D&D group is still together in twenty years.

(Luckily) the campaign ended there, and so did our interests, but it has blown up again now with 5’th edition and after a solid 14 years away. And this video inspired me to continue this geeky hobby until I’m (even) old(er)

Dane
May 9, 2022 at 11:27 pm
Definitely committed GM to that style of running a game. Though doing the same type of game for 40 years sounds like a prison sentence and the miniatures are cool, but to much of a physical representation kills the imagination I think.

One thing not discussed here that I’d like to know is: how does he handle power creep over such a long period? Characters must reach level 20+ regularly. Also, like, do the people who are out of the game still come hang out because death should have meaning in a game but not to the point where people just stop hanging out. If the game never ends, being kicked out of it is a lifelong exile in real life lmao.

I started playing DnD in 1978. It was a blast…I was almost always the DM. The most important thing is to have a DM who is fun, lots of personality and can keep the players interested. Many detail oriented DM’s are a little too dry and serious to keep the players excited about the campaign.

I started playing in 1980. We were 12. It was before the Satanic Panic by a few years. No girls played back then. Adults were kinda freaked out by it. At 12 and 13 a broad spectrum of the smarter boys played, but by 14 it was just the nerdy kids. By 16 I did not play anymore. I picked it up a few times in my college years, but didn’t stick with it. I miss it, but video-game FRPGs are always there. I lost all my books and ‘Dragon’ magazines during a move in the early ’90s anyway.
I never had the patience to paint figurines. We played without them, mostly.

Isn’t the appeal of dnd is that it takes place in your imagination and it’s the role of the dm to weave a narrative that paints vivid scenery and scenarios in the player’s mind? Having to constantly rearrange figurines and premade terrains seems cumbersome and miss the point. Maybe I’m wrong though, don’t play this game.

How is it the same game 40 years later? Some of players don’t even look like they’re 40 years old. If you were playing with a group of 5 people 40 years ago, but none of them are playing now is it still the same game? Is he just saying he’s running games in the same homebrew world he made 40 years ago? Because thats not “the same game for 40 years”. This makes no sense..

I just recently started playing and it’s really fun to have such different styles of D&D go on. I have a friend who recently had his first death too and he said “on the next campaign can we make death not a thing 🥲” and both the DM and I were like nooooo that’s what makes the game better!

Time spend doing what you love is never time wasted. Its your life, do whatever you want with it, so long as you are not hurting other people or animals. I hate people that criticize and ask people who are having fun with their lives, “to get a life” how about you get a life and stop sticking your nose in other’s peoples businesses and get a life yourself, and stop living a fake miserable life just to please others?

Campaign style D&D has no beginning or end. If and when your character permanently dies, or goes into retirement, you can roll a new one up, and the DM can insert him/her into the game. As a DM who is not blessed with great income, I now have the software to match and exceed my desire for virtually endless quantities of figures/terrain. Tabletop simulator is the greatest tool in the toolbox for me. I can host my game, and friends can have a seat at the virtual table via the internet. Plus, we can use it to play any other game that we want…chess, checkers, Warhammer, Risk, poker, magic, monopoly, Tailsman…etc. Btw, it’s even more amazing in VR. It’s (my campaign) not really appropriate for most children. Think of its content as rated R fantasy.

We played Warhammer in the early 90s on a pool table. The board lifted up on wires so we could play pool and put the keg fridge to good use. Most of the figs and terrain was ours but we let people paint or rather they had to at least paint one fig before they could play.
The no touching thing is odd. But then the longest game we had was 3 months.

I’m honored to know a DM of this caliber that has been running a system loosely based on DnD but set in Tolkien’s LOTR world. He’s been running the game world with a large number of players and characters for over 40 years as well. It’s crazy to me how he keeps it all straight but he can wax poetic for hours on end about the deeds performed over the many years of his campaign world.

I have an ongoing storyline with my wife and my son’s two God-Fathers. We all met in College back in the early 90’s and preferred playing an interactive story over watching tv or just sitting around drinking.
The storylines involve several dozen characters, all inter-related to some degree and the story is still ongoing. Whenever we get together, we’ll play another few scenarios. It’s a fantastic way to spend time with friends. Will enjoy it til my dying day.

I’d be interested to see how the political, economic and societal aspects of the villages and towns have developed over the past 40 years.
For example, have people done quests for the children of other quest givers 20-30 years ago?
Did a decision by players back in the 80s create drastic ramafications for the players of today?
Has there been any butterfly affects? Where tiny decisions back in the early days of the campaign have changed things on a monumental scale now?

This looks more like arrested development at display. It’s tantamount to grown men still sitting in a sand box where they began making castles at the age of 5… only now their sand castles tower 500-feet in the air and they’re middle-aged men… BUT THEY ARE STILL JUST PLAYING WITH SAND CASTLES!

(for people who don’t understand the game) this is fantasy game loosely based on war games that generals in the old times would use to plot out there next moves during times of war, and some militaries actually still use this format of tactics and plotting out their tactics as well do simulations in rooms called war rooms back then and now, and there is also Warhammer which is more closely tied to the old war games generals would use in the war rooms

D&D should get the full story, in painstaking microscopic detail, every event and even jokes. Then get the old Skyrim writing team to just glue it together. And make a D&D version of Skyrim, but on a much bigger and more expensive scale. No meta jokes, no PC, if the right is offended, screw em. If the left is offended, oh well.
It would be game of the year for probably 20 years.

The beauty of D&D is that, while this level of realistic figurine play is quite the accomplishment and can add a lot to game play, the entire game can be played with just imagination. A set of dice and a character sheet are really all that a player needs. The DM just needs to know what rules they’re playing by and have an idea of where they want the story to go. It can be played with vigorous amounts of preparation, or it can be played extemporaneously. It is what you make it ✨

0:53 his math is a bit off. 10 hours a week would be about 520 hours (31,200 minutes) per year (or about 22 days). He just accidentally multiplied by 40 as well as 52. I guess that’s why he’s a History Professor not a Math Professor!
