D&D 5E Narrated Video Walkthrough

This YouTube video was just sent to me (thanks to Jeremy). It's a narrated D&D 5th Edition encounter, Assault on Drake Hill Holdfast. Rather than a video of a group of gamers playing the game, this video demonstrates 5E by using a narrator, miniatures, and music, as well as pop-up text information. Certainly a novel approach to gameplay videos, which traditionally can be difficult to watch.

Brilliant!

My only complaint? It's too good; I wish I was that good of a DM

 

[JesterOC]

I agree it was fantastic. Great diverse use of rules.

 

[Queer Venger]

This should almost be required instructional viewing for anyone first coming to D&D 5. Absolutely brilliant!!

 

[Sacrosanct]

I agree. Well Done.

 

[Minsc]

Super cool vid! Great narration. I thought it was a bit drawn out at one point but would love to see a small series done. Thanks for posting this!

The narrator is indeed excellent. Very professional. I assume whoever that is has done voice work before.

I'm not so keen on some of the scenes where the phone was held in portrait rather than landscape orientation, but that's a minor niggle at worst.

It's the second in his series. There was another one that lasted 30 minutes I believe. Edit: Seems to be pre 5e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzLqcoGcxEo
