"DON'T RUIN MY SCENE"!! Craig's Penultimate Thatguyism

"Don't ruin my scene!" Oof, what a diva. The DM of one of my groups clearly had a whole monologue planned out for a vampire villain connected to my character when he cornered our party in his tomb, but we were all so scared from the DM's impeccable build up that we attacked him as soon as he appeared. The DM didn't mind, he just rolled with it and didn't throw a hissy fit. Craig needs to let go and realise that tabletop games are not anime, the players are not his audience, and he is not the fucking main character.

[@Elenrai]

honestly that adds a lot of humour when the BBEG is pelted with rocks and complains in character that the PCs ruined his monologue, as the fight goes on BBEG tries to monologue bits on each turn

[@CocoWantsACracker]

I totally agree! If your players learn from the way the world you created treated them so far, they are clearly paying at least SOME attention to what you are doing and trying to add to the logical narrative. As a DM, rolling with it and still creating an enjoyable experience together with the players is the way to go! Besides, you can always read the epic monologue to the players later if you would like them to hear it.

I mean these are the story of how people learnt not to be a pushover in table top games so.

But really, it's their own fault for not suggesting they make their own group WITHOUT Craig. They have the numbers.

The first time is all on Craig but every time after that, that these people just let him do these things is all on them. Yall could have walked away or said no at any time. Letting the DM tell you what your character does, says or thinks is NOT within the power of the DM.

[@chadsmith8966]

It's like that old saying, "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." By all logical reason, these players should have jumped ship once the red flags became apparent. An asshole DM who takes agency away from the players, throws tantrums and sulks when things don't go his way, and killing off PCs because you either hate the player or hate the design and concept. Craig is a textbook example of a bad DM. So people start to wonder why the players don't just leave. Well... first, the social dynamics of a small group of friends are/can be complicated. Leaving the table means abandoning your brothers in arms, so to speak, to face the bastard alone. No one wants to feel like that guy who would leave his friends dangling over the edge of a cliff. So they stick it out. Another thing to consider, the Trilogy of Craig was written after the fact. Time and reflection to look back and asking what went wrong really opens peoples eyes to how bad and shitty the situation really was. At first, the signs and red flags probably went by unnoticed until a pattern emerged.

I think he was going for a lovecraftian vibe there, especially with the "monkey-things", as that might just as well be ripped straight from one of lovecraft's stories called "the Lurking Fear". Now, there's no giant tentacle monster in that story, but we all associate Lovecraft with tentacle monstrosities anyway so there's always that possibility. That, or Craig genuinely just pushes tentacle hentai onto unwilling and unknowing players. It happened to me once in a campaign, actually, I had no way of knowing the threat, no way to fight it, and the other players were someplace else, etc...it sucked immensely and I still blame the DM for it, even though he's actually a decent guy. My character also wasn't injured afterwards or anything like that, but being left powerless feels like it's unjust punishment for no reason. (The only thing I was guilty of was roleplaying that my character felt somewhat arrogant after a recent victory, and by no means was I harming the other players.)

I'm willing to bet that if you did some digging, you'll find elements ripped off from elsewhere. Which, isnt truely a bad thing.

Oof, going from Pathfinder to D&D 4e? I guess it's better for some, but feels like such a downgrade in my boat. It's a real shame that the OP was forced to take Bladebound against their will, it's actually my favourite archetype in Pathfinder but Craig likely ruined their potential enjoyment of it. Did you know the Black Blade's supposed to be the same alignment as the PC? Obviously Craig didn't know or care. Not that you can't have conflict between sword and user (for example, I played a LG Elf Magus who was a total sweetheart, but her black blade was a more harsh and driven LG type), but seeing it used for that purpose alone really wrecks the class IMO.

[@briangronberg6507]

KingDyste That was almost the most surprising thing in the video! I don’t just mean that it was a bizarre choice either-I literally don’t know anyone who could run 4e and there are maybe 3 people I know who know the rule set well enough to play. Far, far fewer than PF, 3.5, or even 2e.

Oh gods. The "small character building moment" is giving me flashbacks to a recent game. Summary: In a party of 6 DM feels the need to add a DMPC who is an elf from a distant land. w/e cool. we have a rogue now. In our first several battles we make a BIG DEAL about offering mercy to our foes. In a later battle the Rogue throws a dagger into the back of a fleeing foe killing them (IN THE BACK) obviously against group wishes. I tell them DM: hey I think a scene where we tell the rogue that wasn't what we do here would be a great "small character building moment." Quick and easy. When we talk to the DM's rogue? "No no no. I did no wrong. You all just lack courage and are unprofessional. You need to understand and accept me! I am right!" Then our wizard jumps in to agree with them. 3 sessions later and several attempts to salvage things the Wizard and DM still WOULDNT SHUT UP so I put that character on a break and brought in a murderhobo.

[@dbzfreak12321]

This is why we don't do DMPC's. I get wanting to play as a player rather than DM at times, but what's the fun in playing D&D if you're already aware of everything that you're going to encounter?

[@RedFloyd469]

@@dbzfreak12321 To be fair, that's irrelevant. The DM ALWAYS knows more or less what will happen, plot-wise. Adding a DMPC does not change that. The DM can still have fun doing what he/she is doing, just by being a DM. What matters is that the PLAYERS have a fun time playing THEIR characters. What the OP here is posting, goes against that mentality, it breaks the immersion, ruins any possible early group interaction, and basically somewhat railroads the situation. That said, it could have been salvaged, and is not necessarily a bad thing. The DMPC is entirely allowed to have a somewhat stubborn or less moral personality. Part of the roleplaying aspect is that the group then deals with this situation in a certain way that helps make things interesting. If the OP is right, however, this last part did not in fact happen. Which is when the DM ruins the experience.

Honestly you could point out tons of Craig's flaws BUT you really have to be impressed that he can bastardize this many peoples hobbies and do it so well too. RIP Craig, legend among ttrpgs

[@Bacon8t0r]

Hearing shit like this makes me appreciate my group even more (I DM and I make sure people have fun)

[@timothyswanson8773]

I cast "throw a chair at Craig".

[@SpiritChain]

Critcrab: time for some more Craig stories His computer: oh god not again! *glitches and corrupts files*

[@BobSmith-cg2ek]

The computer itself does not want the watchers to be inspired by this terrible evil

Sheesh, around 20k a year ago huh? Life comes at you fast! For real, GG there comrade! Your vids are the best to sit down and listen to while rolling up a char or looking for some spicy character art

[@jaslawl6570]

I believe these players are gluttons for punishment

[@scottcooley5125]

These stories are a total train wreck. So bad you can't help but hear more. Thank you for your sacrifice, CritCrab!

Someone needs to put “Craig, the DM” in a locked room where the floor is covered with D4 dyes.

[@uploader109]

Um...dice?

[@antonbonin5003]

I always love watching old videos of channels and they announce their sub goal, and then you look down and see they've massively grown :)

[@MrMoriLives]

'dOnT RuIn mY ScENe' I would just nope out of there.

[@RedFloyd469]

I would actually probably just laugh in his face.

[@Xhumed]

Everytime you say "Reira" it makes me think of Scooby-Doo saying ”Leila"

2:04 I wonder if the Ledian evolved from the Ledyba.

[@rubenlarochelle1881]

This was so entertaining to watch (painful, yes, but entertaining) that now that I finished the video I regret having watched this before the others because a proper saga should be watched in order.

[@hahacheerios743]

The gameplay from the last video got me to pick up Skyrim again and relenquish my soul

[@thatstranger6114]

Pathfinder is a great system. It's so versatile and for the most part has a viable system for almost anything, and if not has all the tools necessary to make one. Also, I'm playing a Monk right now and almost single handedly took down a lv5 water kineticist, with the ability to manipulate the water in my blood, at lv3 and not building min-max. Only reason I failed is because he escaped. Sounds more like incompetence/lack of character creation ability.

[@feralchangeling97]

Player: You're not gonna have my character become a molester, are you Craig? Craig: No. *under breath* Unless I want him to. Player: What was that? Craig: Nothing! *Half an hour later* Player: Yes officers, this man right here, his name's Craig. Officer: What did he do again? Player: He creeped me the hell out!

[@SuperiorPosterior]

I'll say it again, but I would totally be a player at Craig's table just to watch the world burn

[@joshualeahy2162]

[@GURGLEGUY12345]

-Gimme dat butt.-

[@OwOraTheWitch]

Wow, 75k subscribers in under a year and a snazzy new animated crabitar to boot. Good job my guy.

[@TigerKirby215]

It's a shame because the initial plot sounds cool. I'd totally love to adapt something like that, even if it sounds blatantly like Kill La Kill.

[@psal8715]

I had a friend very similar to craig. Played with him for years. Never ever a good experience. don't talk to him anymore and frankly don't miss him.

[@thegreatazal5021]

“Crippled monk class” HA I’ve seen PF monks do some mind bendingly broken feats

[@troodon1096]

Use the "unchained" (aka, the fixed) monk and it's actually pretty good.

Congrats my guy, you were close to 25K during this one and now your sitting at 276K. I don't know if anyone has said anything, but is worth saying congratulations you're doing awesome.

[@keepscrolling3652]

Good heaven.

[@jasonrondeau9317]

Oh wow almost 25k in 4 months. Been here since the second vid. Proud of you buddy, hard work and perseverance is really paying off

[@nikerboker1995]

I'm stealing this setting, people should make proper use of a good idea

[@battyrae1398]

Stop! Playing! With! Craig!

[@tomtommerson6320]

Not gonna lie, that's a cool setting

[@ThatNewZDude]

'One Undead Lieutenant at a time' hmm why does that seem familiar... *THAT'S SHADOW OF MORDOR AND WAR!* Undead Lieutenants: Uruk Captains Tyrant Sorcerer-King: The Witch King/Sauron

[@AnonYmous-pt8kf]

Hey, could you start linking the stories in the description? It would be nice of you to credit them, it would help us find additional info much faster, and it wouldn't even take you 10 seconds to do it as you have the story URL right in front of you. It doesn't send a good message when you have links asking for money for telling someone else's story but you won't give them credit for it

[@lunch_trey]

As soon as I heard "slimy tentacle thing" I immediately feared the worst. Thank God it didn't come to be.

[@liaml.e.5964]

I mean,it's entirely on them. If they keep going back to him as a GM it's their fault

[@RedFloyd469]

They are all at fault, including the DM.

[@MrHel-hf3nk]

You've gone so far in 2 years, cheers mate! @CritCrab

[@kindledninja]

Oh, you think _this_ is bad, Mr Krab? Ignorance is bliss.

[@janschievink1586]

WHWHAHAH. I'm in Canada you will never figure out what I've been browsing NEVER.

[@kindledninja]

@@janschievink1586 I'm calling Interpol

[@janschievink1586]

​@@kindledninja I'm pretty sure Interpol only has jurisdiction in Europe.

[@j2dragon109]

Jan Schievink I’m pretty sure it would be called Europol then. Besides I am fairly sure Interpol doesn’t have jurisdiction anywhere, it’s more an organisation for the collaboration of police agencies.

[@darthvaapad]

thank god they didn't break anima that was my first ttrpg and sadly doesn't get enough love.

[@bigrew7084]

>penultimate oh lawd there's more?

[@nicolasgodines1129]

I remember when you were at almost 500 followers. Literally like 3 months later, your channel population is 50 times that. GG CritCrab. Here's to another 50,000 by the end of the year. I believe in you!!

[@perryborn2777]

The setting sounds like it could have been really cool, and the dude even had a few good ideas, but god damn that execution was fucking awful
