Beholders are notoriously paranoid af, so it makes perfect sense that they would adhere to city planning guidelines.

[@2009mouser]

Evil, yes. But they're LAWFUL evil

[@jonathanwessner3456]

and well read on them

[@camblycreeper7999]

2 good reasons for that include the fact that those rules exist for a reason and if someone found violations, there could be strife that kicks off an uprising that ultimately would end in their defeat

[@override367]

my favorite beholder story was chris perkins running out of the abyss and the players convincing a beholder that there was a much more insidious nose tyrant out to get it, and that it was already winning because it had covered the beholder in invisible noses, so the beholder started eye raying itself to get rid of them -cuz if IT was a nose tyrant that's exactly how it would crush an eye tyrant, by covering it in noses that it couldn't see!

[@Morhgoz]

I have beholder as Magic Shop owner, only "evil" thing he does is to sell cursed magic items to cheapskate adventures who try bargain prices low...

As expirienced DM, I do it really fast. And always the result is some new problems for players.

[@freakychee]

@@user-cs5ld9if2y Normally you don’t want to RP by yourself as a DM because it disengages the players but when I do it I will always do two things. Have a distinct voice or tone of voice for each character and use it as an opportunity to show players the relationship between those two characters.

[@loke6664]

@@freakychee It depends on the situation. If the players spy on a conversation for instance it is more or less required and a good DM can do it without being boring. It is something you see more in intrigue based campaigns though, 1 for all is a dungeon hack and those rarely needs that kind of interaction. And yeah, I agree that you need to make it clear who is talking by using a different voice or dialect instead of constantly saying who is saying what, that becomes annoying fast for both players and DM. Of course, sending the players on an escort quest with 2 NPCs who hate eachothers guts can be pretty amusing for the DM and having the same voice requirements, but that is rarely amusing for the players ("escort quest" is annoying enough in itself). But hey, DMs needs to have some fun too.

@@loke6664 correct! That is why I say usually (or similar, forgot the exact wording I used). There are many instances where a DM may need to RP with themselves to mitigate the reason why we should not do it too often.

In its simplest form it is a neighborhood who gets together and pools funds to take care of larger expenses the community shares or to set down rules they want the people participating in to obey by. You also have to pay a normally monthly fee to be apart of it. Some HOAs are nice and provide pretty good amenities others can be a huge pain in the neck and a nightmare. Depends on who is on the board which is usually voted in, but most people don't care so you normally end up with Karen's in charge because they are the only ones active enough to want to get elected in.

But the big eye is the Anti-magic eye, it is the little eyes that get ya. The safest place when discussing zoning violations with a beholder is right below it, or right in the area affect of the main eye where the little eyes can't hurt you. Beholders like vertical tunnels, without safety features, stairs, ladders, ramps or other means of access. That is a serious violation of Code 4B.

Something similar happened, in our campaign- I'm a new DM and went in without a plan and very few players. So, I introduced a mute NPC that's a mercenary, to help nudge the party along, in their bounty quest At first, my plan was to use her to nudge the characters along and introduce characters to elements of the world.

[@resinks2269]

Genshin Impact is at least a little less of an abusive game, than AFK Arena, but I feel like you might want to look deeper into the things you are advertising for, since they can have devestating impact on certain groups of players. These players, so called Whales are more receptive to the abusive monetary concept of games like AFK arena, they pay great amounts of money, often without being in full controll of doing so (it has some similarities to gambling addictions, it is but a differents matter). Those games also have many types of ingame currencies, in order to confuse the players, who buy into the game, to either buy too much or too few. As a part of the last point the buyable Items, for real life currency in these games are priced in a way, that the player always buys more currency, than they need, prompting them to buying again, so they can get rid of the currency, that they already have. Genshin Impact falls in that category of abusive games, the big difference to games like AFK arena is just, that it actually has gameplay. Its system of acquiring Charakters (a Gacha system) is in no means better than AFK arena and fishing for whales. I hope my comment doesnt feel too negative to you, your videos are great and I understand, that you have to get paid and that the developers of these games pay very well.

Best beholder encounter I've ever had in D&D was a scenario with a deranged beholder performing in a circus as the main attraction. It had split personalities with different names that were both tricked into thinking the audience was there to worship it. The ring leader would have each half of the audience cheer a different name so that the beholder would start arguing with itself about which one was better. Then he'd convince it to compete with itself by demonstrating it's abilities to impress it's 'worshippers'. It ended in a boss battle in a crowded theatre full of panicking civilians because it went on a rampage after someone in the audience threw food at it.

Seeing as the guy got downed by an anti-magic ray, there must be more to him than meets the eye... hmm

[@ruiner1499]

Perfect episode, guys! Can't wait for the next one!

[@agnesdianaracz]

Those♂️ are sure my yellyfish medusabreeds for Budapest Aquarium, we loved them all.🇹🇯

[@dsoul1305]

This npc came out adorable. And so little. What a good job.

[@scoots291]

This is why you don't let the gm rp with npcs and other npcs

[@nitran8843]

I will admit I (as the dm) have used npcs to do things that may or may not have killed the players if they tried. Such as crossing a single rope bridge with armor on.

Give that halfling a few levels in monk for making that beholder catch some hands.

[@stormrogers5318]

This one was so much fun to watch. Thank you

[@paulcoy9060]

One of my players created a Halfling butler character to be in front of his Elf cleric, wearing armor and carrying a large (human-sized) shield, because he said his Elf was too dignified. Lots of fun.

[@graysonchristian2668]

I had really bad roles one night and as part of a boss fight my players managed to hold monster a Beholder causing it to fall to the ground. Then they just shattered it a bunch. And kept casting curse on it so that it had disadvantage on Wisdom saves. Took them 3 rounds to kill it. Poor Beholder just wanted to live.

[@jonathanfesmiresteampunkau6983]

I never realized before how much beholders resemble The Funk.

As soon as I saw the MPC I started thinking of Bilbo Baggins at the beginning of The Hobbit reading over the terms and conditions of the contract before he set out with Thorin and company.

*That was a hilarious ad transition!*

[@TheDarkZoren]

Its kinda strange how often the party can get reversed Stockholm syndrom with thir npc's they bring along.

[@thunderdrae7749]

Whenever you adopt a random NPC they always end up becoming actual beasts, one day it's sympathizing with a Goblin, the next he's one hit critting everything that's in your way.

[@shallendor]

You have all done so very well! Eye thought there was a problem, but the group efficiently took care of it!

[@mangermatilla1538]
