[@iainhansen1047]

Lords steward- I’ll give you 100 hundred gold for killing that dragon” Random merchant- “that rusty piece of common armor seems worth 210 gold”

[@ManCheat2]

Perhaps the common armor has 200 worth of gold coins in its pockets or somethin

[@iainhansen1047]

or maybe rusty common armor is just really in fashion this monster hunting season?

[@AnoAssassin]

Kill an Ancient Dragon? 500 gold. Tell a young bard to stop making advances on a single mother selling veggies? 750 gold. Sell a potion that gives the *drinker* a minor resistance to fire and also Paralyzes them? 1100 gold.

[@TheZombielayer]

The paralyze/fire resist potion could be extremely useful as an anesthetic or for some other medical use...

[@AnoAssassin]

TheZombielayer I am actually impressed. But still not worth more than two whole dragons

[@majormoron605]

That´s an oddly specific bounty...

[@GeorgeMonet]

But they'd still have all the other stuff that the merchant had on her corpse. So a net positive gain. Especially if they kill the guard too.

[@davidschultz1987]

GeorgeMonet Oh wow, a wig and some red clothes. And after if they kill the guard, they will probs have to pay of a new bounty of: 20silver, a mithril grappling hook, a wig, 2sets of clothes, and a guards chestplate

[@GeorgeMonet]

And then they get to keep the stuff on the 2nd guard too!!!! Plus you can turn the guard into a zombie. If the DM sends enough guard bounty hunters after you then you could raise your own undead army.

[@frknspacewizardbrett6044]

David Schiltz, Ah! So the Guard is unarmed! Good! That shall make it easier to make it seem like the guard was slain by a zombie that the adventurers happened to miss purely by chance.

[@gnarlestongnu637]

Player Characters that loot like they were playing Fallout deserve the wrath of god (DM). Every time.

[@AmandaDavis6130]

Whenever we go to spend our gold, the DM says "alright, time to play Accountants & Actuaries"

[@alexandriariley5209]

That's a good line. I'll have to use that in my sessions.

[@JackhammerJesus]

I keep wondering if there is a parallel universe where wizards and elves gather to play games in which they take the role of "The Mighty IT Administrator" or "The Sneaky PR Manager" or even "The Wise Intern" (who is not as strong as the other classes, but neccassary for every party, because he alone provides the mythical substance called "Coffee").

[@turnerd20]

you forgot about the ever enduring janitor

[@kemix1006]

Daniel Turner janitors are OP as fuck, they usually one-shot enemy parties with their hidden powers they keep for such occasions

[@MrMortull]

And of course there's the class everyone dreads; the HR Manager, who has wonderful people skills but is just such a buzzkill stick-in-the-mud and won't let anyone else use their most fun class features because they're all "against company policy".

[@jamestown8398]

"We have finally reached the shopping... What's this?!?!!" Before them lies a large heap of rubble and scorched wood. A single villager is left gasping for breath. "Attack... Help us..." The brave adventurers pull them out of the rubble. "Who did this to you..." "Goblins. We fought bravely, but... We couldn't fend them off" "Wait... You didn't do this just to stop us shopping, did you?" The first adventurer presses. The villager dies dramatically. "So what now?" The second wonders out loud. "Hmm, it's a long way, but the next village has twice as many shops", argues the first. "Or you could buy whatever you need from me, a new merchant that you have never seen before" A new voice states.

[@Msoulwing]

The merchant happens to be a goblin. Completely unrelated, of course.

[@estroll5034]

That's what they call "hostile takeover"

[@kylepessell1350]

Okay this reminds me of a story. My character was a Bard but he kept losing instruments over the course of the campaign. His original set of bagpipes was confiscated when he woke up in prison and the harmonica he constructed out of scrap metal was destroyed when said prison fell out of the sky. Our party eventually found itself in a mage utopia on top of a giant tree but I still didn't have an instrument. Thus I decided to visit one of the many shops in hopes of trading for a rare magical instrument of ANY kind. The shop keeper I would have found was unfortunately out. In his place was a hot babe in revealing clothes that promptly tried to seduce me. Eventually we worked out a deal where I could receive a magic flute that controlled wind in return for completing a job for her. The kicker here is that my character realized that she was actually a black dragoness and she didn't actually own anything she was going to offer me. Thus not only did I agree to assist an evil dragon woman with her plans but my compensation was stolen goods. In hindsight it wasn't very surprising that I ended the session in a coma lasting three years.

[@jamestown8398]

Your Bard could have just tried singing. But then a stray arrow would have destroyed your vocal cords.

[@kylepessell1350]

A Bard without an instrument is like a bird without wings. He can chirp all he wants but all that does is attract the predators on the ground. I was competing in a series on contests against the Pirate King after he had tracked me across two differnt worlds for blowing up his daughter with a cannonball (Long story, she deserved it, trust me). The first contest saw me miraculously beat him in an arm-wrestling match. However, in the middle of the second singing match one of my party members got mind controlled by another antagonist of ours and jumped onto the stage to gut me with a spear. I managed to restrain him only to get beaten to death by their dwarf NPC mentor. A blue dragon reset time but it went even worse the second time around as I passed out from blood loss just as the guards arrived. My unconscious and beaten body was fed a poison by the Pirate King and thus I entered a coma. Meanwhile, our brainwashed party member was thrown into prison for the same amount of time for public assault despite having no memory of the incident. Our last party member never showed up to the last session and so his character got off Karma Free for all his downright evil actions throughout the campaign.

You don't have to worry about shopping trips when you have three murder hobos in your party. You just have to worry about everything else.

[@passedjudgements4729]

Of course you don't need to shop with 3 murder hobos. When they've made the shop keepers insides stay outside on the floor bleeding out everything in said shop keepers shop is now free. As for everything else how's your preform skill? Claim you're a victim of their abuse if every caught and pray they're executed so they don't murder hobo you again Edit spelling

[@alexisauld7781]

This solution to the murderhobo problem is genius...

[@jarredallen3228]

Murder-hobo. Every time.

[@chakatfirepaw]

Nah, the ones who need to worry in my games are the murder hobos. Remember, a party of, say, four 6th level MHs is effectively a monster rampaging around and will get the same sort of response as a family of wyverns that has been raiding farms and towns. Plus, the MHs aren't getting things like the sort of magical gear they want. As a rule of thumb, you aren't going to be able to walk into a town or city and just buy anything beyond a +2 sword/shield/breastplate/etc., better gear is going to involve hiring someone to find/import/make it, (not an extra cost, beyond having to wait a bit).

[@Alphadog2064]

I try to discourage being murder hobos unless we have decided to run a group of murder hobos before hand I find that throwing things that may come extremely close to killing them tends to remind them that they need somewhere to BUY goods, somewhere that they can return to for a stockpile if they die (used only in a situation where the clone spell is involved), and somewhere that they can spend a majority of their downtime

[@tiredtortoise3396]

In a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign I ran, the players went to a town to sell a magic sword they didn't want, and went to the lord's manor to show it to his wizard so it could be confirmed as magical so he'd buy it. Two days later, the lord had been murdered by the wizard who ran away with the sword and then the entire town was destroyed by giant spiders.

[@queekheadtaker7327]

Grumpy Squat we’ve all been there

[@queekheadtaker7327]

John Brennan it was all just as planned

[@tiredtortoise3396]

I didn't sell it, they did. Besides, they got unlucky on the loot roll on the table I'd done, and got a homebrew magic sword designed for wizards, and none of the players had wanted to play wizards. The funniest bits of the campaigns were probably most of the times they burned a fate point - the first time was when one of them tried to lasso a flying wyvern and merely succeeded in drawing its attention, the second time was when a dragon threw another dragon at one of them, and he was out of fate points but fortunately the dragon hit a different player on the way and he had fate points to burn saving them both, and the third time was when one of them tried to parry a Bloodthirster (which doesn't work anyway but I let him try in case he crit-passed) and he crit-failed.

[@Lilitha11]

To be fair, they at least made an attempt to go to a Lord and his wizard, rather than just trying to pawn it off in the open market.

[@Rymeths]

I actually love both the player and DM side of the shopping episodes

[@TheAres1999]

This reminds me of a scam I thought up:Take a regular quill and without dipping it in ink, act like you are writing a message. Then you cast prestidigitation to make the message appear. You could use this to trick people into thinking the quill is enchanted to write without ink, and make some gold selling them. Get out of the area quickly though, making such an ilusion with prestidigitation only lasts one hour.

[@weckar]

In what version can prestidigitation actually do that?

[@TheAres1999]

@@weckar "With this spell you can: create a harmless sensory effect; light or snuff a small fire or candle; clean or soil a small object; chill, warm or flavor nonliving material; make a color or mark appear on a surface for 1 hour; create a trinket in your hand until your next turn. you can have up to 3 non-instantaneous effects active at once." Writing something is just making a mark on a surface. It's a loose interpretation of the spell, but I think it works for writing a word or two

[@kharnthebetrayer8251]

If you don't want to do voices and RP a merchant. Just have them roll a Persusasion test for their haggling, ask them what they want, then say how much it ends up costing them after a day of shopping. It's better to do actual RP, especially if the players want to, but sometimes a GM can't come up with anything on the spot. I've used the same magic-shop owner in 3 different towns. he does not like the party and they don't like him, but they keep looking for stuff and finding his shop.

[@frknspacewizardbrett6044]

Fate has decreed that the magic-shop's random town teleportation happen to coincide with the parties need for magical items. Perhaps the shop owner has some business that requires attending to that only adventurers can deal with, but is reluctant to trust these strangers? Or maybe it's all a ruse to eventually get the party to trust their magic items, so that it would be all too easy to give them a highly cursed item? Only time will tell.

[@anthonynorman7545]

As a DM who takes so much time on NPCs, that physically hurt a bit. I have played in groups with a DM like that though. Had a ship captain who refused to help us fight off a kraken and then charged us for the damage to his boat. I wanted to try and intimidate him out of it and the DM said "he has a crew, not intimidated" and I just sat there thinking the party just killed a kraken in front of him, and my character specifically fried part of it with lightning, if we could sail this boat that crew would be swimming home.

[@TheGruspastej]

Paladin585 well, if the captain is unreasonable, maybe the crew would be more reasonable... especially if their captain is a pile of ash

Well, I made sure to pay the captain to teach me seamanship the first time I went to sea.

Yeah, main character, not hero. I prefer having some NPCs be unreasonable and such, and run some that way myself.

I love shopping. It's great. Shopping is my favorite part of DnD. My most recent shopping trip involved us harrassing a gnomish alchemist, because being the penny-pinchers that we are, immediately on finding the costs to investigate a potion, we tried convincing, strongarming, and outright threatening said merchant. The last of which almost resulted in him calling the guards, but, fortunately, that didn't happen. Turns out one of the potions he really wanted to buy from us, as it happened to be a fairly rare one, and so we negotiated for a large sum of gold, and an apology from him to the guy who threatened him. Saying he'd call the guards in response was very rude, after all. It's only fair. You hurt our poor friend's feelings.

Me: yeah, so either goes catch up to him since if he is a travelling merchant it's not like he has one single item. That would be a rare item so I don't think he is likely to have one so it would seem you have to get to the closest tavern.

Ahhh...how I wish my friends now played DnD like my old friends. I miss those days.

[@poisonmist13]

Here are some games I think you should do some video about: 1. The sims: getting stuck on furniture 2. Roller coaster tycoon: people who break benches and vomit on the ground 3. Weird Worlds: sudden supernovas

[@jecfilms3686]

I love their videos mostly because its all geeky stuff that I play

[@iamarthorse]

Ah, that sword is the finest in the land and it can be your's for the very reasonable price of 4 mythril grappling hooks, two exalted orbs and a rubber chicken.

[@cjk3338]

This just confirmed for me that Allison was DM during the D&D Forgotten But Not Gone

[@henrywasden4838]

Wow. Didn't expect him to actually be able to pull of that costume

[@quinquake7519]

I very like Ian acting,it so funny!😂😂

[@willowterra402]

i love how he mentions a mythril grappling hook as if it's just another coin type

[@DycuswasHere]

I just realized you got Ian to wear makeup. That's commitment to your craft right there

[@misterproject8]

I'm looking forward to watch this video's Behind The Scenes.

[@zacharythomas723]

Me-“I’d like a door monster video thats relatable and possibly includes a drag Ian.” Hobo from door monster- “seems unlikely” *appears a traveling merchant with a gallium knife, milk and a youtube video with requested content* Me- “I can die happy now” PS: where’s a drag Kyle?

[@Micromanic]

2:12 I snort laughed 😂

[@unafraidwuazar1137]

Ya'll are underrated, how do you not have more subscribers

[@TheNxtGmer]

Congratulations on getting the funding for Skyvault! I can't wait to see what's in store for the future!

[@dice.brain.]

Love the DnD!!

[@burnin8able]

one of my GMs got around this by having the primary merchant that sells the vast majority of expensive gear for adventurers was just one guy who's shop is in every town, and the door is just a portal to his actual shop, that nobody is sure where it actually is.

[@DesignedbyWill2084]

"If you acquired a taste for Kickstarter in the last month." I think I have OD'd enough for a while!

[@falcore91]

Kickstarter succeeds, immediately releases video of spending extravagant sums of loot on specialty items. Yep, seems about right!

[@goldniko1]

D&D seems pretty fun! My friends made a knock-off, but they only wanted to race and breed chocobos, so the combat aspect was... lacking

[@TheInsider15]

You can do that with others if it's a homebrew...just make sure that homebrews don't end up being in a clusterfuck that ends up with the players killing every person and thing they see, no-one likes murder hobos

[@scottrauch1261]

Finally! More door monster. Edit: that is the only way to deal with traveling merchants

[@MrRourk]

D&D Shopping is nothing like Shadowrun :) Although my D&D Players did work up the courage to enter Tiamats Delicatessen & Cigar Bar once.

[@thatsneakyneenja2595]

Those merchant's actually work for the assassins guild in the next town over from the next town over and are definitely not just randomly phasing into existence to sell you the very specific item that you just thought about getting a minute ago.

[@jasonutty52]

When I DM I much prefer shopping and town adventures to random nature encounters

[@PhrontDoor]

Perfect.. pay the 20 silver, AND the ladies still have BOTH the enchanted bow AND the 2000 gold that the merchant has on his body.

[@shiningskies3054]

Me and my team went shopping and bought 50 turtles and 100 bagpipes We also bought an elephant, a camel, a donkey, a draft horse, a pony, and a dragon turtle We make good decisions

[@dallastuggle8901]

i freaking love this lol

[@simonsmall8981]

Hi, I just wanted to say you guys are the greatest!

[@VerumAdPotentia]

I now have to include one Mithril grapnel hook in the party treasure.

[@cg21]

The D4 earrings are great :-)

[@Lightscribe721]

Dunno where else to put this, so congratulations on funding Skyvault - super stoked for you guys :)

[@anya6785]

Our DM just gave up and gave us a shopkeep named Beblar (an agender bug person with mysterious origins) who has a ton of bags of holding with whatever we could possibly desire in them.

[@duxastrorum]

Woo, look at that, Ian channeling his inner Mrs. Doubtfire and a bit of ES Oblivion city guard. And listen to Rachel there. "Casual" shopping day. I would totally kill the merchant for a mithril grappling hook.

[@ArabicYeti]

That guard popped straight out of Oblivion

[@sequorroxx]

Not gunna lie, that seduction roll would have worked on me.

[@Lycan_the_deerdog]

Same tbh

[@DrZaius3141]

Honestly, as a DM you provide a service. If your players are into shopping, haggling, etc, you do that. If they're eternal dungeoncrawlers, you do that. Or you get yourself a better group.

[@thekinginyellow1744]

Well said.
