Forever DM Plays A Character & Is Brought To Tears By 1st Time DM & Best Friend | Narrated D&D Story

[@bluntlyhonest6803]

A story that wasn't about DM is dumbass or player is dumbass, a nice and good one. Upgrades people, upgrades!

[@fuzztsimmers3415]

"How did you recover?" "I killed my previous warlock patron using the power of the ancestors of my half-orc friend who I killed and ressurected."

[@kingmasterlord]

the drama stories are funny sometimes and all but this is the real meat and potatoes of this type of content

[@SaltpeterTaffy]

Especially when they involve important rolls! A DnD story just isn't complete to me without mention of at least one important roll.

[@SaberusTerras]

I imagine the convo between Aed and his ancestors had a bit where they flatly say "But he's not an Orc" And Aed tells them, "No one but an Orc can fight like he does." Or something like that.

[@faselfasel2864]

"He is not an Orc, but he is willing to fight a war of attrition with himself every day. That state of constant, unrelenting battle is what our culture is built around and he represents it not just on a physical, but on a spiritual level as well."

[@Alistr2001]

"Volunteered to DM and give me a break" - The single best thing to hear. If no one else answers the call to DM eventually DMs can burn out and if people don't step up games can disappear. I've lost many a group to this so show ur DM so love and take the try. 100% of the time that DM will help you 100%

[@heroicheart6911]

I prefer good stories/ heart warming stories over horror stories.

I dunno, I like a good mixture. “Bad” stories seems to being in more attention overall, but yeah, we’ve been long due for a good one for awhile.

[@Hughes81]

My friend decided to give GMing a try for our group as a distraction from Her own Covid worries. We rotate GMs a bit, but there was her first time ever in the GM seat. And she brought her A+ game! Two of the scenarios will forever stick in my memory as top tier e Adventurers.

Great story- the OP has REAL friends, which is far more precious than any dragon's hoard.

[@AynenMakino]

'Too sappy'? Nah, give me all the sappiness! The world can be a dark place, so it's nice to see some lights in it :)

[@hedwigon6951]

This is real dnd. Really dnd is a thing where you can merge your soul with your character, feel what they feel, and they feel what you feel. Few people have ever gotten this extreme privilage. It may not begin my fate, but I'm glad someone got to experience it all least once.

[@stephenadams8712]

From the title I thought it would go the other way glad it was happy tears

[@jessylabrie9298]

Just gotta say, this man has a beautiful soul.

[@theperses3692]

One yeah great story! Love these heart warming stories

[@dragonsoul123]

This is absolutely beautiful. I am so happy to hear Anon is doing so much better now. DnD may "just" be a game, but it helps you to get out of your current life. Sure, you "just" role dice. But as a player, you feel powerful and enpowered when you manage to do something epic. And as a DM, it is just rewarding to see my players react to my homebrew story, and what they make of it. How they take to the characters and world I set up for them. It makes me feel valuable and cherished and that does wonders for my insecurities.

[@benjaminnihilnovi6283]

I was worried about what kind of tears the op was brought to. I've felt and read about far too many games that had ended in the bad kind of tears and this was a vary good breath of fresh air for me to listen to.

[@TheStormWolf10]

A triumphant return to form! Can’t wait for more wholesome, comedic stories from dnd! Especially that badass Goblin gunslinger! (True ATDND vets know who I’m talking about!)

[@kuuuueee]

I really enjoyed this. Especially the connection to the real life and in game correlation of his story. "Slay those demons and take your soul back", And a fantastic ending to a campaign!!!! Love the idea of going to speak to ancestors to adopt them as a patron.

[@Wrathgir]

That was amazing! And yes this statement is so true. “No matter what this world is doing to you, fight back. Don’t let the demons destroy you. With whatever you can and however you can, don’t give up. Slay those demons and take your soul back.” Today been feeling down about a lot of things and this statement right there hits me the most. I really needed to hear this cause of feeling unsure about where my freelance art career will take me and thinking I probably won’t get anywhere with it. Been struggling hard on it this year especially since AI art is becoming massively popular, making me feel no one cares to get commissions from me anymore cause of it. I just need to keep trying and maybe someone out there will want to commission me for something. Also yes. D&D is quite the therapy for me as well in some aspects. So totally agree there.

[@ArcaneSorceror]

Bloodied is still in for 5e, it isn't listed as an official mechanic, but it is mentioned under the Combat section (I believe)

[@SkrymNV]

Both my DM's use synonyms like "bleeding profusely" or "looking rough/hurt" but i never knew it was an actual rule.

[@LionKimbro]

Yeah. It’s on PHB p197, in the box in the top-right corner. “When your current hit point total is half or more of your hit point maximum, you typically show no sign of injury. When you drop below half your hit point maximum, you show signs of wear, such as cuts and bruises.”

[@radianceguardians]

"I'll be taking my soul back now." Me: I AM LEAKING HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? T_T

[@michaelcohen8259]

Interesting about the "split soul" concept. I'm running a half-elf bard at this time, and she can't reconcile her elven and human sides, so she has developed a split personality. One is a good chaotic "elf" and the other is a good lawful "human". I even have simple magical items that alter her appearance, so she looks one way as the "elf" and another as the "human".

Some mechanical questions: How does a 20th level warlock have a 1st level spell slot? They scale automatically. How did he cast Misty Step, a 2nd level spell, with that 1st level slot? Did he somehow deal 375 damage in one shot or just skip narrating how the party for the demon from 375 to nearly dead?

[@danielossaconcha7400]

Seconded please answer this person

[@Aztek420]

Assuming he spec right and had everything set up for combat as a hexblade plus good weapons a critical would have ended him from that height.

[@lCaptainCanaryl]

Ya know what? Random location to admit this, but I personally am not fully over my last character death. It was- unceremonious and honestly the longest-running character I’ve played, just over a year or so. Alex, my boy. May The Lady of Dreams forgive your actions in life. May she unchain your soul from the curse laid upon you. When the misty veil lifts, I hope your soul find its way into Arborea and into the hands of a place where your skills are no longer needed.

[@gaz4553]

Nice to get a decent d&d oriented story for a change. Good stuff this one.

[@OSleeperTactical]

Reminds me of the Gospel. Dying to restore someone soul and empower them for the work set before them. Becoming brothers with that dying/resurrected person upon their return. Defeating the dark being that had power over you as a result of that sacrifice. Very good stuff.

i mean it's purely a DM choice, but warlock powers are permanent. They cannot be taken away even if the Patron dies. Paladins have an optional rule turning them into Oathbreakers, but that's it.
