D&D Story: How My Campaign Ended

I like how after Malikar trips and breaks his ankle he's never mentioned again, as if his anti-climactic escape was punishment enough to his story's demise.

Nah, he talked about one of his players being able to call all his twists because he's played too many games and watched too much stuff in a previous vid. Plus, it's basically the lore from the Darksiders game series, except it was Abaddon instead of Gabriel and he turned into a dragon instead of a flower.

[@jakeroth675]

It's nice when a GM can put all the pieces on the table so that things make sense to the players in hindsight. It also allows clever players to carve their own path through the world if they can see and act on it ahead of schedule. More work for the GM but also way more rewarding in a lot of ways, so long as everyone's up for it.

[@Akranejames]

@@jakeroth675 Yeah... I'd even say "too obvious" is a lot better than "poorly foreshadowed and makes little sense" or "complete asspull", because in the first case you can plan for the twists and prepare accordingly, and at least be somewhat satisfied you predicted correctly, while the two other faulty types of set-ups just result in you being baffled and indifferent (or even somewhat insulted) at the plot twist it just created. Heck, you can even make a "complete mystery" kind of villain, just make sure it makes sense and let your players have their glory if they find a way to discover him before his actual reveal. Basically, there is such a thing as a D&D story looking like an improv skit, and that kind of story accumulates such shitty inconsistencies that I prefer the steady and predictable ones - after all, that kind of plot just means it's up to you to be creative with how you twist the cliché plot.

[@jakeroth675]

I think the key is in having an actual world hung around the events so that if players go off-script or just ignore an entire chapter of the story you know where to take it. I was playing in a game once where I managed to piece together what was happening from a bunch of really obscure clues and skip about six months worth of actual at-table sessions in a long campaign. The GM laughed, then screamed, then laughed, then topped off my action points and we got on with it - weaker than expected but ahead of schedule by enough that the next two sessions we kept catching the antagonist organization with their pants down.

[@Akranejames]

@@jakeroth675 Fair enough. Part of the potential fun of roleplaying IS that kind of moment where you catch your antagonists (and possibly your GM) with their pants down. Having a lot of rebound plans and a good idea of the inner working of your world is exactly what you need to do to pretty much have the right setup for all your plot's turns and twists to unfold in a sensical way. The "asspull" and "poor foreshadowing" problems generally come from someone not planning ahead for the first, and someone unwilling to let the players outsmart them (or just being a pretty clumsy story-teller). The "obvious" kind is probably just the GM not being that creative and doesn't hurt the game that much imho.

[@andrewnethercott8200]

"Life doesn't care about your level"

[@Sparrow_Bloodhunter]

factually accurate. I'm way under level for the encounters I've been facing lately.

[@Gashren]

If my players would say that I'd just smile and let them know how seriously they effed up with that sentence... Welcome to begging for quests like fetching apples. It's not level appropriate? Well, as SOMEONE said "life doesn't care about your level", huh? I'd probably ease up on them after one session, but I think that would be more than enough to teach them not to do meta-meta-gaming :)

For the army, there is body armor, machine guns capable of killing dozens of people in seconds if they aren't prepared (which given the more fantasy-centered world most D&D characters are in, would be basically everyone), gas weaponry, fully automatic assault rifles, sniper rifles, fighter jets, tanks, attack helicopters, nuclear weaponry, etc. Seriously if one person with access to modern weaponry got into a D&D world and figured out a reliable defense against magic, they could probably be more powerful and a bigger threat than the vast majority of BBEGs or anything else, except for giant monsters, gods and possibly demons.

Your War-Forged's desire for power almost makes sense. Lack of former abilities as a Warforged (or even just a lack of iron-clad skin) might have caused him to feel vulnerable, or realize how vulnerable non-warforged humanoids could be, and felt the need to do something about that, but got a little too obsessed with it. Or even emotional differences. I'm reminded of Lex Luthor bargaining with Brainiac: "You lack something that I have in spades.....ambition."
