The Forever DM
This channel has been created to catalogue and share adventures.
In many years my table, both virtual and physical, has been home to countless adventurers, explorers, heroes, and villains. Though these stories range from massive epics to wacky endeavors I have always felt that stories are worth sharing and I hope that in your stay you will find some that resonate with you.
Whether you are here to just revel in the stories of others, gain inspiration for your own tales, or just to critique the many poor and great decisions that I and my players make you are welcome.
Try to be as kind as you're able, as courteous as you would expect of others yourself, and in general just "Be excellent to each other." as they say.

Hello everyone and welcome! It's finally here, The Welcome Party - Episode 1! This is the first "welcome party" campaign I've run as my special thank-you to my members, and we've since started up two more! These games are custom-made for your specific party of fellow members, a level 1-3 adventure that will forever canonize your characters in Forever DM lore and potentially even an appearance in a future web series like this one! Not to mention the potential for your Welcome Party group to roll into another campaign afterwards, like the members of our first Welcome Party group who will eventually be known as The Last Resort and go on to play in my currently-running Storm King's Thunder campaign! (Which you can also watch us play live every other Monday as a member of our members-only Discord, one of the perks of being a member of my Patreon or BuyMeACoffee.)
Here's to all of you who join us in enjoying the first adventure in The Welcome Party's journey, and to all of you who help to support us so we can bring you these adventures. Have a wonderful Sunday, and we'll see you in the next one!

Hello everyone! Our next FDM Flashbacks episode is now live!
I know, I know... it's not TBA. I promise we're getting back to that soon. Between sicknesses and other real-life struggles, we've had to audible on our plans for most of this past year. And we're still making changes to our plans even as we speak. I wish I could give you a timeframe on when the next season of TBA will release, but every time we've nailed down a timeline we've rolled a 1 on our Survival checks against the BBEG known as life, so rather than promise a specific time I will simply promise that it will be as soon as possible.
Thank you once again for all your support, it means the world to us. And thank you to Hidden Games for being our first-ever sponsor!
Have a great day, and we'll see you in the next one!

Hello everyone!
Man, it's been one hell of a year, hasn't it? It's wild to think that we're already a week from 2025... it feels like 2024 started just a few days ago.
With the holidays being a time of thankfulness and reflection, I wanted to personally thank you all for the tremendous growth we've seen in our community over the past year. This is all thanks to our supporters, and we wanted to highlight some of what you have made us thankful for this holiday season:
We started this year out with 47 subscribers across Patreon and BuyMeACoffee. As of right now, we're currently at 62! That may not sound like huge growth, but every single one of you make a huge difference in what we're able to do here. We're definitely looking forward to bigger and better things next year, so stay tuned!
This year we also integrated DoodlePoodle's followers into our Discord server, which is now sitting just shy of 200 members! It's been wonderful to see the community grow and interact with one another, bringing people from all over the world together.
Speaking of the Discord server... if you're not a subscriber, man, you're really missing out. We have so many awesome people on our Discord, and it's also become a rather busy gaming hub now! We currently have 16 active TTRPG games run by multiple DMs... so many games that we're having difficulty finding time slots! And that's not including at least three games that will be spinning up in the next month or two... We really love playing TTRPGs, if you hadn't noticed. XD
On the YouTube front... holy hell. We've seen tremendous growth as the channel is now sitting at nearly 14,000 subscribers! Good Lord! I'm still shocked every time I see that number!
It's been such an amazing year. We of the FDM crew couldn't be more thankful to see all the love and support from each and every one of you. From the bottom of our hearts, we wish all the best for you this holiday season. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, something else, or nothing in particular, we hope that your 2024 ends on a high note. 2025 is shaping up to be huge for us here, and we hope for the same for all of you who've made it possible!
All that being said, it is Christmas day, so I'm going to wrap this up here and go celebrate with my family. Much love to all, thank you for being with us, and we'll see you in the next one.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Greetings one and all!
Tonight we have some great news to share with everyone. Our YouTube channel's power is growing! It's over 9,000... subscribers! Woo hoo!
As we hit this milestone, two things occurred to us: One, we never finished that 5K subs post we wanted to do. And two, we didn't want to forget to do something special for 10K subs!
Since all of you in the community are the reason we've made it this far, we thought, "Why not make an Ask-Me-Anything (within reason of course) video for 10K subs?" So this is your chance to find out answers (maybe... no spoilers! XD) to those burning questions you have! Questions like:
- "What software does your editor use?"
- "What's it like to DM for the man, the myth, the legend that is DoodlePoodle?"
- "Does Betheniel ever become more social around people?" (No. The answer's no. XD)
- "Will there ever not be the sounds of FDM chomping on Doritos in the background?"
We look forward to seeing, and answering, your questions as part of our thanks for all of you helping us hit 10K subs! Get your questions in early so we can make sure we have them ready!

Only one (well, one and a half?) FDM Magic Item again this month, because our artists are literally on the other side of the planet spending much needed quality time with their family. But, this one is near and dear to our hearts here at Forever DM Adventures, because it's Angela Hawthorne's first magic sword.
That's right, we present to you this month: Imitair's Tooth and Imitair's Tooth (Imbued), an upgraded version you can go on a quest to unlock! (Or your DM could just, you know, give it to you. But that's boring... right? Quests are the whole reason you need a cool sword, after all. XD)
So come on down and pick up your very own Imitair's Tooth today! (Molars not included.)

Speaking of sponsors... If you'd like to help us keep making more items like this, as well as support our production of The Best Available and our other upcoming series in the pipeline, we would value your support on Patreon, BuyMeACoffee, or through Youtube Memberships! Every little bit helps us keep bringing you the content you know and love, and supporting us at the Adventurer level and higher gets you access to work-in-progress art and supporter previews of upcoming episodes! Everyone on the team would love to do nothing else but bring you original, memorable, and high quality DND content as often as possible, and every view, comment, and dollar counts towards making that dream a reality. We can't do this without You, so thank you for watching, listening, and supporting.

We're only bringing you one FDM Item this month, but we think that with everything we've done for this subclass, you'll agree that this bad boy's worth it. It's the Pact of the Armiger for Warlocks, a defense-oriented pact that allows you to summon Pact Armor, which proudly displays the symbol of your Pact Daddy-- I mean, your patron. Because nothing shows your devotion to your patron like kicking ass while wearing your favorite team's jersey!
We've also added some new Eldritch Invocations to go along with the Pact as well, as there aren't exactly any existing options that really took full advantage of the new Pact.
One thing we wanted to do with this is to bake in some loyalty mechanics into this pact and its invocations, and we think we've done a pretty good job of that here. There are consequences for disobeying your patron, and some of these invocations really reward players for leaning heavily into their loyalty to their patron. The stronger your bond with your patron grows, the more powerful abilities you have access to!
Let us know how it plays out in your games! We'd love to hear your feedback. Check it out over at our Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/fdm-subclass-of-107204249

And the second FDM item for May: it's another feat! Have you ever been traveling and found that you needed a very specific thing you didn't happen to have on you at the time, but you had a bunch of other junk you weren't using that helped you exactly not at all? Well, now you can convert that junk to stuff and make it useful! Just don't expect your duct-tape-and-bailing-wire construction to hold together for long... it is just a makeshift creation, after all.

Hey all. Just a quick FYI, we're running a little behind on the second FDM magic item for the month of May. We're hoping to have it ready in the next day or two. Thank you for your continued support as we're busy cranking out all our assets for the FDM items, Episode 017, and so many more projects we have envisioned for the future!
Here's a preview of the art for the next FDM Magic Item...

It's a new FDM Feat: Monkey Grip!
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the sword in the dog's paw, or something... eh, close enough." - Sun Tzu, probably
This one's for those of you who want to have a bit more Cloud Strife in your D&D game, running around with a comically large sword for no good reason. Or maybe you're compensating for something? Hey, I'm not judging. Unless you miss because you're taking a -4 to your attack rolls while tryin' to be cool. Then I'm judging. XD
