[doublepost=1446184575][/doublepost]Hello everyone in this video I show you how to make cursed weapons using the WeaponSkill.js plugin that comes with the dlc. (I'm sure you could even find a copy of this plugin if you didn't buy the dlc) I go over creating weapons, creating common events, damage calculations, how to install plugins, awarding traits, and many tips on how to use RPG Maker MV. This was a special request video from a sub who left a comment.

[doublepost=1446397499][/doublepost]Hello everyone in this video we shine the light on the Gambler Class which uses Luck instead of Attack power to deal damage. The Gambler is a utility class that can add TP to the user (or party) and inflict powerful status effects (with a risk of receiving those debuffs on him/herself). I show you how to create the common events needed for the skills and show you gameplay of the class in combat. This build serves as a template for you to modify to fit the needs of your game. Hopefully this will inspire you to make some new skills with unique mechanics.
I had to run the sound for a Halloween party and there was much yelling involved just to talk which left me with ringing ears and a raspy voice, so I apologize if that was distracting at all.

Hello everyone in this video I will show you the new Active Turn Battle system from Yanfly Engine and discuss some bugs that I currently noticed. For the most part this is a solid build and works as intended with a couple of small things that need hammered out. There seems to be a bug with the taunt skills when combined with the ATB. Also it appears that Attack Speed has been rendered defunct. I'm not positive if this is a bug or it's intended function. Be sure to go check out Yanfly Engine here:

On the casino dice roll tutorial, I did it, but when I test it, my numbers always come up as 0 and I lose my money. Help?
 
The first thing I would suggest is compare what your event looks like compared to the common event for dice rolling in the video. If you can link a picture of your event I can tell you why it's not working but without seeing it I don't know what is in the wrong spot or missing.

Did it have to be a common event? I just put what you put for the common event in the actual event. Is that why it didn't work?
 
If this is the problem, here are my variables. List 0001-0020: blank, 742369 (I did a cheat code thing), blank, Gold Carried, Bet, Dice Roll 20, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, blank.
List 0021-0040: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
