I have Noble Ambition and Vaporwave (my favorite). I think Vaporwave has a bias towards low number rolls though. I will be testing it soon. Noble ambition has rolled pretty well. *Very* pretty, and ships quick.

[@kaynerandolph432]

I thought it was going to be a story of how a real orphan or an abandoned child gets ACTUALY adopted by members of the D&D group.

[@cadenvanvalkenburg6718]

That's what I had hoped

[@benpearson49]

That would be jumping to conclusions.

[@StortebeckerSF]

Could you imagine a child raised by a group of DMs and players? The uber DM

Nothing sucks worse then losing a character you really like just because the dm feels like killing you and doesn't actually give you a chance to survive.

[@atiredfloridian777]

No no, I'm not crying. YOU are! Jokes aside, this is wholesome and I just love it whenever someone's party 'adopts' a PC, it seems to happen in whatever campaigns I'm in more often than you'd think.

[@asilnorahc8910]

A nice story! It's refreshing after watching other channels of DnD Horror Stories. Which I love, but the wholesome shit is good for the heart.

[@xXFoiXx]

Most DnD must just be bad since horror stories are so common.

[@asilnorahc8910]

@@xXFoiXx Nah. Most DnD is great, but people love talking about the few exceptions when thing turned batshit insane. So there are more DnD horror stories than wholesome stories, but they work as cautionary tales, thus, making olts of games much better^^

[@rpgchronicler]

Now this is a story people can relate, even w/o the adoption angle. I pray newcomers to the hobby are as lucky as the writer of the story is in finding a group to help said newcomers get into dnd.

[@edwardcalvo4047]

I'm running Icewind Dale and I could be wrong but if that last encounter is what I think it is then it isn't supposed to be a fight against any high level casters and is instead mostly a social encounter.

[@Revan_7even]

That DM definitely has an antiquated "DM vs players" mentality.

[@IsilmeTuruphant]

@@Revan_7even I think they also just didn't want to DM anymore, and didn't have the balls to up and say 'I don't wanna DM this campaign anymore', and also didn't want to be outed as a jerk by cratering the party, so gradually ramped up the challenge level frog in boiling water style.

[@hinarahyuga1684]

Honestly the dm from the second group and the two players from the first sound like they should get together and play.

[@thefirsttyrantrum]

Funny enough, I have a similar story. One of the first campaigns I was in at college was when I played a Wildfire Dragonborn and began with a small group at the beginning of Icewind Dale. After a few sessions, I was one of the only players that was eager to show. The DM of that campaign was also in a Curse of Strahd campaign as well, and the two groups had a large 10 player crossover that had a tug-of-war between two druids and a ranger against 2 barbarians which the barbarians lost because of a draft horse. Since the Icewind Dale campaign was running down due to low activity, that DM and the DM of Curse of Strahd talked and were able to pull my Dragonborn from a prison of ice and death to a prison of mist and death (shockingly no difference in a sense). Since being thrown from one realm to another, my Dragonborn is still hanging in there as I have been a part of that campaign since early August (I think). Not only that, the group I am in now posts the sessions on KZbin, so it is safe to say that I am staying with them for a long time.

[@itap8880]

That's... Like, in what way is this similar?

[@MerridianPrime]

On the record... pretty sure that high level encounter isn't even a part of icewindale... that dm was just being a power gamer and a bad friend looking to power trip, sounds like.

[@JafenKtair]

Turns out the real dnd group was the friends I made along the way. (I’m DM and we play on Sunday’s)

[@anxietyofmandella9601]

Skip to 1:32 for the story

[@manticorephoenix]

Reiterates that you must have consequences in your world, threaten an innkeeper? he calls the town guard, you escalate? he calls other adventurers, you start wantonly murder hoboing? your party’s reputation is shot and no one will hire you, you escalate further to banditry? TPK when stronger adventurers come for your bounty. Most people do whatever they can to avoid conflict but Don’t let a problem player or players run you out of your own campaign like the first DM had happen to him

[@chriswhinery925]

I haven't played much DnD but I did play in a game for a few months where we had to deal with something like this. One of the players was sort of an edgelord type and he rolled a wizard who carried a big scythe and specialized in necromancy. He then thought it would be a fantastic idea to reanimate some corpses and parade them down the street of the local town. Cue surprised Pikachu face when the town guard shows up, none of the other players help him, and his character gets arrested and carted off to jail.

[@firstswordcorvus7368]

I know recently I've been looking for a group, solo RP I'm good at, but I need more group RP practice. I don't mind occasional tough encounters as long as they're survivable and don't happen too often. I'm a straight adult dude that prefers to only play with adults cause I'm blunt with my words and picked up my grandma's lack of a filter 😂. I'm happy to report I have a PC that I can use Roll20 on and I almost always need the rules available to check so I don't annoy the party too much, at least rules on what's in my character's kit since I'm still kinda new and the books are too expensive. At least thx to my video game habits and each book is worth 2-4x each game I buy when I have the spare money, I'm glad the PHB is available to read for free online. Haven't seen or read, let alone experienced a module game yet. Don't like metagaming anyway and hopefully there aren't any memes, roughly 98% of them go over my head and/or aren't funny to me at all. Can still joke around without memes, and I find it really rude to talk about other games during a separate game, especially when not all the players are in both games

[@a.summers9180]

By the stars! This person's story is pretty similar to my own experience. It's a bit to long to put into a comment, but I can relate a lot to this person's dnd journey. I hope you get to stay with these two groups for as long as you can, dude! 💙👍

[@buzzbuzz2691]

Dude I completely forgot about this channel glad to see more uploads!

[@vmen1436]

what a trip! if it were up to me, I would have left the secondo group because a Dm who think "Hard Fight = More fun" is not a Dm. Is a fucking sadist who deserve to play solo. But in the end "not all evil comes to harm".

[@funnyblog100]

The most dangerous villain I created is not one the players will actually fight. In fact he acts as a mysterious benefactor. The reason he’s sending them on quests is to eliminate his competition. Every threat the party deals with only helps this individual take over. So they are unknowingly helping the greater evil in their quest lured by the promise of adventure and possible loot. It’s a cruel subversion of the usual tropes.

[@1Ring42]

My DM runs ultra hard combats but he also is super into the rule of cool so its usually an incentive to think outside the box and figure out ways to cheese the fight. So those do end up being really fun.

[@manticorephoenix]

Yeah but some people like challenges, just cause you don’t like something doesn’t make the people that do “fucking sadists”

[@vmen1436]

@@manticorephoenixdon't get me wrong, I myself participate in a serious and difficult campaign (not dnd 5e). What I mean is to make the hard part of the fighting outclass everything else. @1Ring 42 it's a balance way to equalize role and fight and for funnyblog100 is a great way to twist the usual plot with a "we're the bad guys?" situation.

[@BalbazaktheGreat]

That slingshot in the picture is triggering me... You know that slings and slingshots are totally different things, right? The former is an ancient weapon of war that kills people. The latter is what Dennis the Menace uses to cause hijinks in suburban Wichita. /pedantic a-hole mode

[@fenorlex1126]

Not just people, the slings have killed. Giants, I tell you! Big towering giants, felled by a stone to the head or the eyes!

[@kishinasura1989]

Barbarian: I attack the wizard. Me the DM: are you sure about that? Barbarian: yes. *me and the wizard who rolled God stats share look* me laughing: fine roll initiative

[@sleepydrifter6355]

Its funny, I have been invited to a few groups, but because of one thing or another, I can never join and so Ive never played d&d. I'm always looking to play, but it never works out. Even a group my friends and I planned, did not work out, though at least they got to play. Its gotten to the point where I rather just watch the story , than join it. lol

[@WorldWalker128]

Checked out those void-walker dice on the site. They want $70 for them. They look cool, I'll give them that, but I'm not paying that much for dice. I might have shelled out for 50 if ti was a gift for someone, but not 70.

[@simonkennedy6116]

Man, I hate party killer DMs. They're drunk on power and don't care about everyone else. And it takes forever for everybody to realise what a terrible time their having

[@GayBearDaddy2]

I like making challenges for my players (and subsequently seeing them sidestep them via their impeccable rolls), but I'm never out for blood. Knocking down PC's is usually just an accident for me.

[@simonkennedy6116]

@@GayBearDaddy2 I've only ever DMed one tpk and I still hate it. Sure there's been close calls but I can't imagine trying to wipe out the whole campaign every single session

[@KimParkkinen]

Picture I got was that in the beginning they seemed to enjoy rough encounters, towards the end the DM started to just sound like they were bored and wanted the campaign to be over, TPK was the fastest way to go for them. I still do not approve, real shitty thing to do. There were better ways to go if they wanted to end the campaign in the middle.

[@rpgchronicler]

For me, i would likely tpk the party by accident more than intentionally due to tweaking the enemies for flavour.

[@Gala-yp8nx]

It’s not the DM’s job to kill players. The players are perfectly capable of getting themselves killed with their own stupidity.

[@dragonicstarblade2049]

i want to know what was with the TPK's DM?
