We once managed to kill ourselves saving a gelatinous cube. This cube was trapped in a cage in the entrance to a dungeon so our rogue convinced it that we would set it free, the next player took control of another member of the party and forced them to hug the cube (paralyzing them in the process). The mage then decided that the cave entrance wasn't big enough so blew up the entrance to make it bigger. This of course caused a cave in that killed us all. The cube survived and bounced off into the sunset, thankful of these strangers' sacrifices.

We were all loosing our shit over how funny it was that we’re all making across this long “dangerous” puddle thing. The last player... a half orc barbarian... doesn’t make it. So the dm basically says they make it half was across and lands face first in the liquid. We are all freaking out trying to figure out how to save them, then we found out...

Fast forward a few sessions and as we're traveling through a large cavern in a dwarven city under a mountain, a blue dragon attacks, on my turn I ask my dm a few questions and roll some good rolls and my 3ft tall gnome druid, in a flash of lightning and a puff of smoke transforms into a 7ft tall minotaur wielding a warhammer, bellowing "I AM MINOTHOR!"

The following scenario took place a few months ago: There's me, a halfling rogue, a human guardian (homebrew), an elf sniper (also homebrew), and an elf cleric. We were fighting 4 human warriors of large stature and after a few rounds of combat managed to kill 3/4 enemies, then when we killed the 4th enemy, he fell on top of the guardian, pinning him to the ground! The guardian tried to get him of but rolled a 3 or 4 and failed miserably, the two elves also failed their strength rolls, and when it was my turn, I rolled a nat 20, flinging the dead guy off him like he was a small log! 😂

[@ALegendarySol]

My friends and I were halfway into our DnD session. My friend, who I call call Strongbird, had a 2 foot fall bird human hybrid as his character, who also wielded a staff. Our party was facing a three headed Dragon named Kornen. All of our attacks were almost null and voided, since the dragon had an immunity to steel weapons. Strongbird was the only one in the party who had a stick, but not any stick. A really. Sharp. Stick. He rolled a Nat 20, and his character chucked the sharp stick into the part where the three necks came together as one. The stick pierced their neck, severed their spine, and ultimately paralyzed the Dragon. That is how he became known as "Strongbird".

[@fluffyncute063]

remember during one campaign me n the party had to infiltrate a kingdoms prison dressed as soliders and free an important npc. We managed to deceive everyone until the very last second. A guard wanted to see some paperwork or proof of authenticity. Thinking on the fly I attempt to punch the prisoner. This character I'm playing has next to nothing in terms of strength and any non nat 20 would of failed. So I rolled a nat 20, broke the dude jaw, and we walked out alpha as fuck. mission success!

Here's a fond DND moment... Me and the group I was in were going to destroy this bandit group that caused most of the problems in the world.

There's going to be legends about her now... *confusion noises*

[@BlueRidgeBullfrog]

I’ll share mine xD. Me and the party were talking with the king (after killing one of his top wizards by accident.) The bard wanted to defuse the situation by patting the king of the back and using his high charisma to help us out. He rolled a nat 1. The Gm explained as the bard went to tap the king on the back but slipped, pushing the kings neck so hard, it broke his neck. The party irl and in game looked at each other with the “Oh shit” look. We were attacked by guards and we killed them all. We fled and now are wanted in every kingdom allied with this one.

The town's few people said that they would point up in the direction of the "Castle of Demons" (the place that we had been looking for for so long) if we killed the wendigos that had been killing their people. We go to the wendigo den and upon entry our Elf Warlock rolled a 1 on stealth, a 1 on persuasion, a 1 on deception, a 1 on evasion, a 1 on stamina, a 1 on speed, and a 1 on every spell he tried to cast while in a Wendigo den. He was promptly eaten.

My first Dnd campaign will always be my favorite and it goes something like this: I’m 10 first time playing dnd it’s an accident a guy at a summer camp had to go home early and I was picked to fill in the spot my new character level 3 illusionist high elf. Not optimal for a first time but so be it; I’m a prisoner in a drow prison with two other member an elderich knight twirling and a Dragonborn monk. Monk has a flint dagger fighter has a piece of near unbreakable string and I have a copper shard that’s useless (First role crit fail). So were in the prison and we are being escorted over a bridge spanning an abyss going to cleaning duty by five guards. I scan the area and see many cliffs well I’m an illusionist and I know where there’s drow there is duregar. I whisper my plan to the party the fight tells me hell no I do it anyway because why not. Best idea ever. Sets off the place into a panic. Monk shoved one guard off the bridge into the abyss, fighter started strangling a guard with the string and I try to steal the closest guards sword. Crit fail I slit my wrist and take half my Health. A couple turns later monk takes his flint shard stabs a guard in the face turns it into mashed lasagna, the fighter has a kill count in double digits from just this string earning him the title string Rambo. So I’m now at 1 hp we have a String Rambo and a monk and we hear a group of drow wizards approaching. We run I get knocked out by a witch bolt and my companions drag me away. End of session were all laughing like crazy I’m the bumbling wizard we have string Rambo and sir shanksalot because that mashed lasagna trick came up a couple more times.

[@devinmasters9024]

Probably one of my favorite sessions of D&D involved a sentient puzzle door. The group had business in a small town, but when they got there everyone was freaking out. Several kids from the town had come up missing, including the mayors daughter. They obviously weren't going to get anything done until these kids were found, so they decide to pitch in and help. After questioning a few locals, they find out there are some ruins that are off limits. They figure that it would probably be the best place to look for them. They find an underground maze made of rings that could be rotated to open access to inner rings. The best part of the session came when they encountered the password door. I describe a rather ornate door to them that has dwaven writing above it. The cleric reads it and tells the party it says Juggle. As she says this, the door speaks and says, "Oh my. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a scholar. I'm impressed. Read that all by your self did you?" The group immediately freak out and assume the door is a mimic. The barbarian decides to act fast and hit the door with his battle axe. The axe bounces off without a scratch. The door just says, "Knock all you want, I won't be opening without the password... Brute..." The cleric speaks up and says, I don't think a mimic would be speaking to us. Besides, it appears the door is magically reinforced. You didn't even scratch it. Mr. Door. What exactly is this password that you want. "Really toots? Look up." The cleric groans. Did that door just call me toots? Never mind. The password is Juggle then? I'm pretty sure I said that already. She reaches out and tries to open the door. Its still locked. What gives? I said the password, so open up. The door snickers. "You got me. You sure did say the password. It didn't seem to work though. You aren't going to cry are you toots?" At this point the cleric looses her cool and pulls out her mace and begins bashing the door over and over while shouting CALL ME TOOTS ONE MORE TIME! The rest of the party finally pull the cleric away from the door after she threatens to turn it into fire wood. After they calm her a bit they talk it out and decide that there must be a trick to the password. So they start trying different things. They say password in every language they can. The door then denies them and insults them in the same language. They get the idea that perhaps saying Juggle locks the door, and saying it backwards would unlock the door. Doesn't work. "The only thing reversing around here is my IQ. I'm getting dumber with every word spewing from your gobs." The party keeps trying different things and getting made fun of. At the table, they are loving it. In character the party is growing more and more frustrated. The rogue has tried juggling his daggers. The cleric has wrote out the word juggle and showed it to the door. Nothing is working. Finally, the necromancer gets irritated and pulls a severed head from his bag of holding. He takes the head and throws it at the door. The door sputters in outrage. "It's all over me! Just what do you think your doing!?" The necromancer replies in a snide voice. Oh, I don't know. I guess I'm JUGGLING!!! "That's not how you juggle you fool!" At this point, there is a click, and the door swings open. "Wait! NO!!! You tricked me you bastard!" The party finally realize that they had to get the door to say the password. There were some laughs had. The cleric vowed to hunt down a dispel scroll and come back to unenchant the door and turn it into kindling. Honestly, she has been holding to it too, always checking scrolls the party finds.

I have a few great moments, but the one that sticks out most was my wizard using control water to fling the ship we were on at a wall after they decided to fire on us. The ship pretty much splintered on collision, killing all our NPC crew, but took out the wall as well (some poor rolling for the DM). We also took out a large number of the defences and many of the defenders, including at least one mage who wasn't fast enough save himself. My character pretty much surfed his way through the splintered wood and the rubble with minimal damage

So. my favorite moment in all of my D&D playing is when my friends and I were playing a dungeon crawl. now I was a wizard and my patron god was the god of sandstorms and serpents. One of his abilities that you can get for Invoke Patron is the ability Snake Trick which is the ability to turn anything that is longer than it is wide into a snake. so my dm at the time rolls for my ability and guess what? I got the ability Snake Trick. So my friends and I are on a quest to use a mysterious horn out at sea. we eventually get there after fighting some undead and we blow the horn. And out of the sea arises a massive island turtle. Now my first instinct was to immediately ask the dm "is it longer than it is wide?". he looks at me with an angry expression and hesitates before answering with "Yes.... it is longer than it is wide". now everyone knows about how spellburn works. Well I rolled a nat 20 on the hit and used all of my spellburn as well as lowering my skills to 1 (all except luck that is) and turned the island into a continent size serpent. The snake then dies and we ended up skipping about two hours because the Island Turtle we had summoned was the next part of the dungeon and I killed maybe 30 enemies and the turtle/snake and the dm immediately said that I had destroyed everything including all the loot and one of the objectives. my teammates after noticing my character was a complete potato threw me overboard this ship after looting my body (which had roughly 90 grenades I had stolen off of the ship). Skipping ahead through the session the DM ended up making me a character which was a halfling warrior named. get this. Twitchy the schizophrenic halfling. the end goal island which we had finally gotten to had oil pouring out of it and the oil got into the water. as I popped into existence I asked the DM if I had a torch. I did. I immediately set the oil on fire successfully trapping the entire party on the island. they killed me right afterwards by using command person and making me walk into the sea of flames. now at the end of the dungeon crawl we had half of the party leave and all that was left was a new character which was a human warrior, a murder machine with an attached rocket launcher, and an undead skeleton knight. I took the 90 grenades that my firneds had lotted earlier and pulled the pin then jumped right into the arms of the skeleton knight blowing me, the knight, and the murder machine all to bits. thus killing us and the person were attempting to save...

[@josiaharaki7310]

I have an epic one from just this past weekend. It all started on the very first day of the campaign. It was my first session ever, so I didn't fully understand what could and could not be done and what actions required rolls. Our party goes to take a job from a Noble named Kobe Ozaki. From the moment he described the chambers of Ozaki, I got a "this guy's evil" vibe. Ozaki was rude to us, and when I tried to talk smack back, one of the casters freaked out that he might kill us and cast silence on me after I referred to the 50 year old man as "boy" who should respect his elders. (I'm a half-elf, and I forgot that I changed it to a 47 year old from a 470 year old full elf at the last minute) Long story short, our warlock got humiliated by him, so as we left, I tried to intimidate him by pulling out a crossbow bolt and stabbing it into his desk. Nat 20. The Desk is cracked down the middle and ruined. As I try to quickly leave, the DM informs me that I took 8 points of piercing damage. I look down, the crossbow bolt is buried in my shoulder. As it turns out, I was right about him being evil and as the campaign progessed, we discovered that he was working with Tiamat, Ugeroth (lord of the 9 hells), the Lantang wings (A tribe of chromatic dragonborn who worship Tiamat), and the worshippers of Naga and Gana to use a device called the Cosmiglyph to ascend to godhood. Last Sunday was the last session of the semester. We make it into the tower the ritual is being performed in to find not only all of the enemies we'd faced so far, but also our warlock PC's who had been captured many sessions before in a botched rescue mission. The Warlock attacked his player's new character, an Arcane Archer at close range, trapping her in a corner. I, as the close range(eldritch Knight) fighter used my turn to cast shadow blade and Action Surge for 4 hits at 2d8 each. I have a 20 in strength, so each hit did an additional 5 damage. The Warlock turns around, and uses a legendary action to attack me. I attempt to cast shield, but the DM informs me that it doesn't matter. He rolled a nat 20. Critical damage. He deals nearly 60 damage to me in one hit, dropping me. At the beginning of the next turn, someone (I'm pretty sure our bard) used healing word to get me back up to 11 HP. My turn comes up. I look around, and there's Ozaki, bleeding badly from the previous 2 rounds of combat. I had an item that lets me teleport 50 feet as a bonus action. I used it, and teleported to right in front of Ozaki, quickly slashing him once with my sword. When I go to take my extra attack, the DM asks me how I want to finish him off. I don't even need to think. I look at his barely standing body and drop my sword. I reach into my quiver and pull out a crossbow bolt. The same crossbow bolt he put through my chest. I look down at Ozaki, and jam the bolt into his skull. We may have failed to stop the goddess of trickery from completing the ritual and becoming powerful enough to kill other gods and burn the covenant like it was tissue, but we were all still happy about how the way that rat Ozaki went out.

As a DM its always interesting to see what players find the most enjoyable, or most memorable moments

[@chalkwarrior5542]

videos like this have pushed me to try DND myself. currently have prepared an elf artificer character who uses "bee grenades" (just a jar of bees, you shake it, you throw it, and you run, there's even a modified version that's on fire called "bee molotov") and we plan to start this Friday (it's Monday now), i hope this brings my friends and i, older and newer, closer together than ever before. i can't wait to see what kind of antics we can get up to!

[@weirdnwack1800]

The funniest thing that has happend to the group I'm in (we play the Star Wars roleplaying game) is when one of the players and their husband took a canon off the wrecked ship and used it to fire rock now of course the wife had a critical fail and singed hair on their character and the husband rolled a some what bad roll.

So for me it's when barely even a minute into the campaign, one of our party members slapped one of the other members in front of them and rolled a nat 20. Almost died, the DM had to save them at 1 hp

The one with the rogue and poison barrel sounds familiar I think I actually heard the story from the rogue’s point of view or at the very least one that was very similar

[@larsskoog2954]

10:07 That's a bad attitude about it, you know the DM wouldn't let you keep an all powerful item. And he even left the game after, he must of been very salty

[@camthefemalefont9801]

I've only played in one campaign and it's not over yet, but my favorite part of this campaign is... the group. I don't even know the people I play with. Sure we're all on a first name basis with each other (except for one player who isn't comfortable with it), but we haven't actually met in real life. Anyway. This group of people is amazing. They taught me the game. They're so patient and funny and every time we play, we have a great time. They helped me figure out a character and what class would be best for a beginner. They're the best people to play D&D with. We laugh, we adventure, and we cry. Mostly laughing and adventuring, though. If I had to pick a favorite part of the campaign... the party was fighting a lich king. Keep in mind that this was a few months ago and I'm probably remembering things incorrecty. There were five of us at the time. There was Tamari, a half-orc fighter, Flina (my character), an elven rogue, Wake, a water genasi whose class I genuinely don't remember, Sora, a dragonborn sorcerer, and Doldan, a dwarven cleric. So, a bit of backstory first. Flina's mother passed away when Flina was very young. This lich has been giving Flina dream messages, saying he can bring back her mother. All she has to do is betray the rest of the party and lead them to him. And Flina listens. At this point, she still doesn't fully trust her companions. The party gets trapped in a cave. By now, Flina has led them pretty close to this lich king (his name was Morgoth) and she knows how to get them out of the cave. Cue the not great deception roll when she tried to lie about finding the exit. Cue the pretty good insight rolls from Tamari, Doldan, and Wake's players. Cue the very low insight roll from Sora's player. Flina ends up confessing and Wake is *furious*. Sora has no clue what's going on and Tamari is sad. Tamari has always been the "mom friend" of the party and she didn't like seeing Wake yelling at Flina about how she betrayed the rest of the group. I don't remember Doldan's reaction. Still, an exit is an exit. We left the cave and came to face Morgoth. We were fighting this lich and our DM reveals (through a pretty good insight or investigation check, this was like three months ago I don't remember exactly) that we have a staff with us that has to be destroyed to kill Morgoth. Wake takes the staff and slams it into the ground, shattering it. But destroying this staff came with a price. Wake died. Now, to be clear, Wake's death was *not* my favorite part of this campaign. It was the way he forgave Flina right before he died, and the way Flina realized that the past is in the past. I hated seeing Wake die, but his player just didn't have time to play anymore, so he asked the DM to kill Wake. I decided that Flina still blames herself for what happened to Wake, because it was her selfishness that led to the party fighting Morgoth in the first place. That moment right before Wake died, when he forgave Flina and Flina realized that she had a new family... that was one of the best moments ever. Of course, we were all sad to see Wake's player leave.

[@blueangels111]

That magi one is absolutely hilarious. Just how you say things to makes it so much better. “And now a FING minmaxing wizard has a staff of magi.” I haven’t played long, and I have no clue what that is, but that’s funny

I have a few but the best is always when the party tries something impossibly stupid. But the dice are like... Yeah. It's happening.

'He went home and he never came back again' i burst in laughter man 😂

[@michaelwinters6486]

When I was DM and the players were gonna kill a captive. They were rolling decent hits but horrible attacks, so they ended up mutilating him while he was alive. One girl was nearly in tears, a guy was laughing so hard he couldn't breath and I'm just in shock trying to give details about what's happening. I think he was finally finished off with a large rock. It was so sad but honestly it was my first sesh as DM so it's the one thing that really stands out and our group still talks about it from time to time

[@a3s1r1986]

The Staff of the Magi story, I really felt that. Like finding a shiny Pokemon and it ran away first thing in the encounter.

Best moment I've had in a game was when I, as a 2nd level barbarian, was initially duking it out with the main bad guy of the session on a second story rooftop, and then spotted his goons drop out the window and start running, carrying the items we were supposed to retrieve. I immediately leave the vicinity of the guy I was fighting, provoking an attack from him that did squat thanks to my resistance while raging, then dropped onto the leading runner. I took bludgeoning damage from the fall that I resisted, and the damage was also dealt to the goon I landed on, who did not have resistance. The guy who was running behind the lead goon effectively saw this avatar of wrath drop from the sky and crush his friend into a bloody pulp. And then said avatar yells at him to "capitulate or die". Thanks to my successful intimidation roll, he dropped the item and skedaddled.

okay now I'm really excited to get to go to my first official session of DnD. The campaign I'm joining has already had a session, but I couldn't make it and was really bummed, but I realised that my character wasn't what I wanted, so now they'll soon be welcoming Heian the Wood Elf Bard. I'm so glad I got into DnD

[@dariomarangoni5141]

Pathfindet campain: We killed a fire giant, but we needed to interrogate him so: we reincarnate him into a Kitsune ask him some questions then our swashbuckler says "let's turn him into a magical girl". So with some suggestion, memory alteration power of a Gerbie and an elixir of sex shifting the fire giant is now a kitsune magical girl who helps us fight hers (at this point) previous mafia organization. It was the funniest session i've ever had.

[@ZanderFoster]

The one about watching the players discuss how things are playing out hit me. I love being a dm because of what we create

[@SK-sf8fp]

I had this great campaign planned out for my players but for flavor i added a quest board in the Inn as they were all relatively new players, level 1 characters and, me being the world building nerd that i am had fun with it. They all look at it and most of it was either cake walk stuff (collect firewood for the old lady) or way out in left field (get me a chair from the city of Brass on the elemental plane of fire) and, the main quest i had setup was on there too with all kinds of details..........nope my party see's the chair quest and get all fired up about it. So my carefully crafted campaign turned into a fetch quest for a spoiled noble. The players loved it, they had a blast figuring out how to get to the elemental plane of fire without getting burnt to a crisp then how to get a chair from Brass back to the prime material.

So years ago in high school. We were playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. The party was down in a dungeon clearing it out. When the party happened across a tunnel. This tunnel wasn't big enough for even the halfling thief (rogue class these days) to stand up in. At the end of the tunnel when a light was shined down it. Was something shiny. So of course the party turns to the halfling thief ( Ethan's character), and says " go down that tunnel, find out whether it's treasure or not." Ethan who had been playing ADnD knew this was a bad idea. His character stating " Hell No! There is going to be a trap. There is going to be a pit trap, or a oil trap, poison dart trap, or a dead fall trap. I will get dead." Aaron's character (can't remember what class he was.) Whips out his sword and says " My sword doesn't detect any traps". With this proclamation,(little back story. Aaron's character had a magical +1 sword. We just didn't know what else it could do)Ethan's character crawls down the tunnel, and is promptly killed by a dead fall trap. Ethan looking at Aaron, confused and angry. Says to Aaron " You said your sword doesn't detect any traps!" Aaron's reply is "You are correct. My sword doesn't detect traps." Which has been great story over told over the years at more than a few gaming tables.

I once convinced one if my party mates to throw a fireball at a body(dont know if its alive or not) that was in a Bush. In the middle of a thick forest with spider webs everywhere.
