Dungeons & Dragons: Christmas Edition Part 4

[@DreamWizardMedia]

Ha. Lance describing Sarah to Justin and telling him he hasn't played D&D much with her is a weird form of meta and I'm All for it.

[@williamturner6192]

"I may have been bluffing when I said you weren't supposed to do that." Love it.

[@myrojyn]

I choose to believe Wailin was there, as a rogue, with a ludicrous amount of Nat 20 stealth rolls. He escaped with the statue of Kepler. True not the grand cache of characters but he's still alive so there's that

[@CaptainFrost32]

I imagine Wailin was dealt with separately, as Sara tempted him to emulate the aftershave scene [but swapped a bottle of Sovereign Glue, trapping his hands in his beard].

[@DreamWizardMedia]

*Sarah gets told no more fudging rolls way back when to get Chaz back.* How I imagine the following conversation went: Sarah: Okay. I'll just make ungodly broken and op homebrews. Chaz/The DM: Sure, go ahead. What's the worst that can happen?

[@jonathanwessner3456]

Home Alone with Sarah being Kevin? If Sarah is smiling, you already lost.....

[@domomitsune5920]

I immediately knew this was a home alone scenario. Especially when you had to roll a save when walking up to the house. Of course Sarah would be Kevin McCallister.

[@yggdrasil75]

I started having a suspicion at that, after the way she talked and waved… but the metal d20 gave it away

[@MrDmitriRavenoff]

Oh yeah. Super fun. :)

[@bdavis7801]

"Who picks up the orb of doom?!?" 🤣

[@sharkdentures3247]

"How did you get a Tarrassque Mount?" "Have you MET her?" ROTFLMAO! (I think I am in pain from laughing to hard at THAT delivery!)

[@jackielinde7568]

If I EVER have a 1000+ army of goblins and/or kobolds marching towards my table's doom, at least one of the little buggers is going to be ridding a Tarrasque. Just sayin'.

[@justincase8281]

I want my own statue of Kepler!

[@BlackBoy1620]

Reminder Kepler is their doggy. He is good boy

[@LukeZwarteVacht]

"If she's smiling like that, bad things are on the horizon." Me: So she's gonna Home Alone thier asses? "As you make your way up the front steps, give me acrobatics checks." Me: And there it is, here we go.

[@Michelle020892]

This is most likely what Lance was thinking too 👍

[@davidstorrs]

I really thought that when they put the light on the Kepler statue, the good boy himself would get a cameo. We were robbed! Free Kepler! More seriously, thank you guys for making these. They are a high point of my weekend, every weekend.

[@terrorcop101]

Preach it brother!

[@micahphilson]

He was in the background a little after that I think, it's something.

@@micahphilson Right you are. Kepler is in the background at the 7:07 ~ 7:08 minute mark.

[@fastgav]

Good home alone edition, missed Walen though. But very glad that the pup played a role in the episode. We need a Kepler Edition in our lives though!!

[@MH-hu5pi]

Like the dogs playing poker

[@sixofnine9407]

"Merry christmas you filthy animals", loved that response.

[@DragoSonicMile]

"... and a happy New Year!"

[@stephenday2342]

If you went through all that AND defeated Sara in the end, you wouldn't need her homebrew characters. Message!

[@TxSonofLiberty]

Not completely true. The Mercy and Enmity of Lady Luck can drastically alter fate. I instakilled 'The Dragon' in Session One of a Heroes Unlimited Campaign. The GM's plan was to have the Big Bad's 2nd-in-Command, a Nigh Invulnerable Assassin, humiliate and nearly kill the entire group, to unify us into a team. All the other players had gone for Super Powere Guys, whose powers had a chance of doing damage, while I was the martial arts master. For about a dozen rounds, 'The Dragon' shrugged off my every hit (as I was the only one actually connecting with blows) and stunning and disabling the rest of the players (as I was the only one seemingly able to avoid getting hit). Finally, in frustration that we were all close to death, and realizing that my every blow had been useless, I decide to try a called Deathblow (succeeds if it hits on a nat 18+, triggers save vs death roll from opponent)... I rolled a Nat 20, the DM rolled a Nat 1 to parry the blow (due to his parry bonus, he needed a Nat 4+ to deflect my blow for just lose half his SDCs and 1 HP), then rolled another Nat 1 on Save vs Death (okay, yes, after failing the parry, he needed a nat 8+ to not die instantly, and instead be left at 1 HP and 0 SDCs, at which point he could have then regenerated or fled to recuperate), meaning in session one, a starting character single attack killed the strongest baddie due to luck of the dice.

[@alwelle3902]

Sarah: *deadpan* "oh, no..." ... and now we understand fear.

[@micahphilson]

The second they had to make an acrobatics check going up the stairs, I was like "Oh, I know what this is. That's too good! Sarah is the perfect one to play Home Alone!

[@blackoceancreativeuniverse]

"There's a LOT about Ralph Hancock YOU don't know, big fella". I'm sensing the need for a t-shirt and an origin story. Or pistols at noon at the Mann Shorts Corral.

[@HeinusHoratius]

Knock out blow being delivered by the pigeon lady! Did not see that coming! 😂

[@rcschmidt668]

Loved this! Home Alone can be its own miniseries for table time with Chaz. Sarah has the best lines.

[@christopheronyx8049]

:D this was AWESOME. BTW.... Thank you for carrying us all through 2020 and 2021. Your wit, talent and humor was a serious beacon.

[@armymedicchris]

As soon as i saw Sarah smiling i knew the others were in for it! She is only happy when she is about to totally PWN something. well done again.

[@charleshalloran8006]

Awesomely cool. Loved all the Christmas references from that movie with that D&D twist. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Felz Navidad, and a very Happy New Year's to you, yours, and all the fans who gather weekly.

[@draelyc]

"You ... REALLY ... have to follow my lead on this one." Lance, layin' down some Xmas truth.

[@Lilandriel]

"how do you even get a tarask mount?" "Have you *met* her"? Ok, I cackled!

[@michaelnewton5873]

Wailin didn't want to play? And you knew Sarah wasn't going to give her cache away. She is diabolical.

[@anthonyross3418]

I knew it was home alone the second I saw Sarah smile and wasn't with the party. Let the blood bath begin

[@philippemarcil2004]

You can make anything OP when you homebrew - Sarah characters are not special in that regard. The real fun would be to see how broken she decided to make them.

[@Vares65]

I think that's where the magic lays: in how cleverly she broke them.

[@joshuakuhlman5603]

@@Vares65 they aren't clever though. Op doesn't take any bit of clever when you homebrew

[@Balefire99]

agreed....i could homebrew a spell that does whatever i want....not super special

[@joshshin6819]

I think the point of what she does in character of being a min maxer homebrew shit head is exactly what yah all are griping about. Like. We know. Its part of the show. Just like how she rolls super high when its merely a D6 she rolls most of the time yet manages natural 20s and shit still.

[@Th3BlackLotus]

My wifes Eladrin speaks 8 languages all using basic rules. Once you really break those limits, homebrew becomes the best fun.

[@VivaLaDnDLogs]

That was definitely one of the most elaborate and intense sessions! We expect nothing less from Sara.

[@bobiboulon]

The Cube is just a stroll in the park, compared to Sarah's mansion. :D

[@ostodreel1418]

This has got to be the best homebrew you guys have done. I would love to see more of this.

[@bradwolf07]

Of course Sarah's smile signaled danger. Hahahaha As a retail worker I have 2 answers to the "Worst Christmas Song"...1) The joke answer is "The next one to play" since I don't have control of the radio at work and after weeks of Christmas music mostly nonstop, it gets to you...2) Last Christmas. I've heard several people's take on it and I hate every single one.

[@jackielinde7568]

2:13 - Haven't seen the rest of the video, but I'm going to call it: "Dungeons & Dragons: Home Alone edition". The slippery steps trap was THE FIRST THING he did in the movie.

I appreciate that the duration of this video is exactly 12:25. Cute.

[@cub5174]

Really starting get board with Sarah being OP and NEVER taking a loss. This was a perfect scenario for the her NOT to get a win. I didn't even get any entertainment value out of this week's episode. Oo look home alone, big surprise Sarah is Kevin, she kills everyone in one punch cock AF. You know what would have not been predictable and cool twist. Is if she took one on the chin, lost and had to give up her OP character. A plot twist oh no.

[@MH-hu5pi]

In order for plot twist to happens, there needs to be a long plot that didn't twist.
