Thanks for the amazing compilation, like everyone's already mentioned, I will enjoy it while studying/sleeping! Thank you for providing us some of the best lores again!

Sweet lord!

Aint it more like the hells vomited their evil onto people for shits and giggles. Atleast they arenr the Atherials in Grim Dawn.

I'm going to play this video every night while going to sleep

Thank you my guy! This is solid work and your rankings are so useful

Whelp, I just found what I'll be falling asleep to the rest of 2024. I don't even play DnD, and love these lore videos. Cheers bois.

For a monster as iconic to D&D as mimics, it's.. a little upsetting how dirty 5E did them.

Amazing

I did a double take on the video length, but this is awesome!

5 1/2 hours huh? Holy shit, that's like well over 30 hours of work. Take a breather my guy 😮

Great message at the end, and a completely true one! To anyone who needs to hear this: even though the world isn’t perfect, it’s better with you in it ❤️

Thank you bro, I always play your video before i go to sleep. A neat and compact format is just what I need ❤

Bro dropped a full day's work right into my youtube feed

Ill be falling asleep to this countless times.

These ranks are like a boost of creativity for anyone who needs it

“Oh cool a new ranking vid from Espe- holy crap!”

It will take my next 5 and a half hours to watch this one

First. 😊 Edit: anyway, cool compilation, esper! Personally I think that it is hilarious how AI will lie to people and make answers up.

seeing mass rape as less evil than slimy mold is pretty on brand for men. why do you all jump at the chance to prove you're misogynists.

Torm n Tyr should merge together for a more rounded god

Oh yeah. Helm's stoic commitment to his duty is unbreakable and his will is iron clad. To me, he's also one of the most bad ass and admirable gods.

I have that book I'll see if I can mod it fore 3E in fact I think I still have some stuff from 2e like plainscaapes.

Talos?

Sire the troops have been fighting for months for this victory but are burdened with much weariness and sorrow. What can we do for these men? Not to worry I have sent for entertainment for the troops, the great Bard Roberto Esperanza! He is bringing Ann Margert and Rachel Welsh!

I hate that tieflings and cambions are "different" (they really aren't) 😬

This is awesome! Love the enthusiasm!

"I'm going to go easy on these guys, there will be no level 1 character deaths." Well, what happened in ep 4? Say goodbye to your monk and your "pure blooded" fighter.

Mystra, the overworked magical accountant!

No Primus?

I was liking this video until you found a way to put in a whiny rant about your nostalgia.

Before watching this video, I would have said Kelemvor. This is a great example of how subjective and malleable D&D can be. Also, yes the weave needs a retcon for sure.

If anyone want to read something "serious" about lawful neutrals then Curtis Yarvin has this article were he says that the only truly good alignment is lawful neutral and all other alignments specially chaotic ones are evil. Look for: WHAT IF THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS CHAOTIC GOOD?

just run your game, whats your problem with people playing and producing what they want?

Here is one, “ may all your switch have powdered mustard instead of ginger and all your raspberries, be moldy.”

My dad‘s playing in a game and playing as a paladin that is known for spoonerisms, He has an entire speech full of them That’s still very inspirational; assuming you don’t take it to literally.

Hehe, Morena Baccarin as Mystara would be a nice choice for an actress. Probably also for a a goddess of youth as she seems to never age.

Is this a Christian DnD channel? "We're all religious" seems like something a theist would say.

@esparthebard Is there a Playlist with all your their list I liked the demon lord tier list was looking for one for the archdevils also

I don't even find asmodeus evil 😂

Hell yeah. Helm is one of my favorite gods.

"One of the surest ways to get somebody to rebel against you and to fight back against you is to try to force your ideas upon them." I'm not so sure about that one Esper. History's quite unfortunately rife with examples of ideological oppression triumphing - the very concept of heresy itself, regardless of what faith employs it, is a pretty big example of institutionally forcing one's ideas onto others without much resistance.

"but his followers instead see him as a brave father figure - a paternal god constantly striving to create a stable family-like community despite the many flaws of mortals." Is- Is Tyr an analog for the Father?

Siamorphe is worth a small mention I think. Her 'Rightful Rule of Nobility' stands out as a pretty dogmatic lawful tenant. Though, her rather limited geographic area of worship and influence pretty much kneecaps her from being a real contender. Jergal, however, if anything is even more of a poster child for lawful than maybe Kelemvor, partly because the latte was once mortal, while Jergal wasn't. Lastly (and imho most fun) is Hoar. A god I've always had a soft spot for. That he sort of takes pleasure in carrying out his 'duties' could be seen either as a negative (he's not doing what he does just because it's his role/job/duty, but cos it's fun as well. Or, on the flipside, if your lawful duty is something that also satisfies, you, even makes you smile, doesn't that show you a really into it? I think 'poetic justice' is by definition less defined than those of Helm or Kelemvor. It has a sort of artistic aspect. Which I think pushes Hoar away from the top spot. But, I think he is the most 'happily' lawful god, which is worthy of note at least I think. Mystra shouldn't be in contention. She does lean significantly (if not moreso) towards good. Her many Chosen are all 'dogooders' and she is one of the patrons of the Harpers. By assosiation that somewhat knobbles Azuth as well, plus his very close friendship with her has implications for him acting from personal feelings rather than 'what is required', or at least, that he will have to guard against such, where there is no sign of the same issue witht he likes of Helm or Kelemvor, (or Hoar).

Kelemvor seems a lot like Morr in Warhammer Fantasy

I like to think that distinctions like law and chaos are not something strictly universal, but a matter of factions. In my D&D universe the "faction of law" is literally a bunch of gods and entities that grouped together and called themselves "the Law", with everyone else not complying with them being painted as chaotic dissidents. Angels, devils and most lawful gods are part of this universal faction. Demons and monsters do not care about definitions, while more neutral beings like fairies do not appreciate the overreach of this cosmic lobby.

If we go by just the video's title rather than its focus upon the Forgotten Realms, the most Lawful god of D&D is Pholtus. Greyhawk lives!
