I have a friend who has been scheduling for 10 years. I figure his campaign will occur possibly in the afterlife.

It became unrealistic the moment everybody actually made it there

[@dimwarlock]

it is said that no one ever has actually played DnD, because no one makes it to a game. All the DnD stories are actually lies that people says to pretend they've played the game and feel part of a community. The only way to actually play is to have an internet show where the players are employees, that's why everyone wants to be Matt Mercer.

[@Ledecral]

My first DM hit my PC with “the curse of convenience” a curse that magically transforms me into a portable wooden figure, but conveniently only when I can’t show up for DND that day.

[@Vultain]

@@Ledecral I am stealing this curse for my next campaign I run. Thank you for your DM's idea. As the DM I am not responsible for any acts of "me", "fire", "termites" or anything else that may happen while in your wooden form.

[@lemmetalkaboutthis]

I dunno man, after the recap and intro, we kinda get stuck in an infinite loop of "Dilemma" for a few hours with an occasional "something the DM didn't expect" and a couple "Hooks" tossed in for flavour

[@prisle]

it's only a proper dnd game when you get stuck at a puzzle for over an hour that would be easy enough for 3 year olds 🙏

[@lemmetalkaboutthis]

@@prisle oh bless you Our DMs don't really throw puzzles at us - instead they confuse us with people, like having a bandit boss named "Javier" be confused with the boss of the bandits "Xavier", after whom we were ACTUALLY after 🙄😅🤣

[@brandongalvan6603]

You forgot the part where a player wastes fifteen minutes minimum asking the DM if their PC can craft something despite the DM politely explaining to them repeatedly that their PC either wouldn't have any concept of what they want to craft or that the materials don't exist in the world.

[@AvangionQ]

0:35 As DM, I always gave a quick recap at the start of each session, including character details such as ongoing buffs or rest status, just to make sure everyone's on the same page.

[@innazabanova3618]

That's really helpful! Our DM usually asks the recap from us (the group) and for a particularly detailed one gives inspiration. It makes us remember the events better and also it's one thing less for a DM to worry about.

[@Silesh]

In my group I'm the one doing recaps, cause apparently the way I take notes (and what I prioritize), is somehow very fun according to my party members, so it kinda became a tradition xD

[@zakku_88]

That's awesome! As a player I try to help out by taking some notes, mainly when it comes to stuff that concerned my character in particular, but also on some things that concerned the party as a whole. It's pretty helpful for the start of a new session so we can get the recap done and out of the way as quickly as possible and get the ball rolling lol

[@TheOneTrueEfrate]

I take much better notes as a player than as a DM, and I always have a weird sardonic lilt to them for some reason. Makes it memorable.

[@Silesh]

@@TheOneTrueEfrate yeah, I personally really struggle to take decent notes as a DM, cause there's already so fcking much to keep track of and so many different files that I have open xD

[@maxnoorda]

When we finally got together to play for the first time, we missed one person, Who litterally texted in a group of People Who hé didn't knew: "I did too many pure MDMA cristals last night. I am not gonna make it." 😅😂 It was an interesting start to say the least🤣😂

[@HaliaxOfTheChandrian]

I just noticed DeeDee has a tamborine in the end credits now ^.^ I love how he keeps getting more character.

[@BackSet]

I'm in an online group and we all decided to open the voice chat 20 minutes before the session starts because we spend so much time on updates and pre-game banter,

[@anna_in_aotearoa3166]

This is totally a thing with non-D&D community groups too!! I had to build a 30 min pre-meeting social chunk into our monthly sessions because our team members actually get on, and want to just yak for ages! 😆 Only problem is, people then start arriving later and later, so between the pre-mtg chat and wrangling the constant in-meeting random tangents, home-time kept getting later and later...? It's great the attendees were enjoying it so much they hang around, but bit of a headache as the host, who still has to clean up once they leave! 🙄

[@AyarARJ]

Great use of Hall of the Mountain King. Thanks!

[@HandyHanderson]

Wait, there are stages after the *_"Scheduling"_* ?!

[@rocketiermaster7498]

In our games, we just have "exploration", where we have our tokens on a roll20 map that hadto be reset mid-session because roll20 is a piece of crap, and then we take 2 hours to go anywhere, because everyone is a sub and all want to be the last person to move. Alternatively, one of the people with the lowest HP moves to the front of the group and triggers all the traps

[@ronin2827]

The moment I heard 'In the hall of the mountain king', I knew it was gonna get chaotic.

[@bubbathegreat3168]

Our sessions are 4-5 hours. But since it's the only time we ever see each other, we spend half that time catching up with life stuff. It's all good but we only get to do 1 scene or 2 in dnd

[@IceMetalPunk]

There's always someone who screws up the scheduling.... it me. I'm schedule-breaker. But just currently! I forgot the "next time" was my niece's birthday party, I can't do anything about that! >_> Also, why do I feel like "the ONE thing you didn't plan for?" is an order of magnitude lower than the correct amount of unplanned possibilities?

[@graywolfdracon]

This is hilarious considering one of the party is currently engaged IRL.

[@LocalMaple]

Do the shopping between sessions over Discord. Including any roleplay. If they want to roll persuasion for Discounts, make that one roll (and any brief roleplay) at the start of the session, but have that character prepare two shopping lists in case they don’t make the DC.

One of our players missed so often we started a second campaign without him

[@faolan2174]

Yep. I started up a campaign last summer specifically to include a former player who had not been able to play for a while because his work schedule didn't match up with everyone else's. He really wanted to get back to playing, so I was going to DM a campaign with some more flexible players, and we were willing to work around his schedule. Problem was, he was really bad at communicating with me what his schedule was. We finally juts started the first session without him, things kinda petered out after that... A couple months later and his schedule had opened up again for him just to join back into the other group again. And I'm just restarting my campaign with an entirely new group. 💀 Moral of the story: freakin' communicate with your DM!

[@milbo06]

Everytime you upload, you make my day better (even if I'm sick like today)

[@FHBStudio]

Get well soon! If laughter is the best medicine; I always get the best laugh out of reverse animal rescue videos because they're so ridiculous and you know that in reality, something wholesome was taking place.

[@kamilm.7475]

Oh my. We actually had a player, that ALWAYS had to finish at 22:00 (10:00 PM) because his girlfriend could get furious if he didn't go back to her soon enough. Long story short, he stopped completely playing

[@katiecat8861]

Ah we had a "doing something the DM isn't expecting" moment last time we played. So our world has three sets of groups of character setup in our world doing different things. Its a family game so there is only three of us playing, but two us, me and the dm (his choice), run one character from each group. Currently group one and two are together in another realm trying to stop a war to keep the enemy from crashing that realm into our own. Group three is back at one of the Hamlet researching the corrupted manor that group one was going to have to deal with as a major plot line for the three characters of group one, Darkest Dungeon Dnd game. Well after finding out the Deck of many things, a hoard reward and having some crazy stuff happen yet again the last character, Remus, pulls his one card... An uber wish! Remus is the owner of the estate that Hamlet is on and knows everything that had happened in the manor. The plan was once Remus's group got back to the Hamlet they would prepare to storm it to kill the ancestor at the heart of the manor ending the bad stuff happening and saving the world. Yeah... Remus wished that his ancestor never went into the depths if the manor so some of resulting events 300 hundreds of years later really happened. All the gods were never killed, the manor never was corrupted, and many other things. The DM decided to cut to White because we need to rewrite probably... 5 of the 7 character's background because of some of the events. Example being Remus might not exist.

[@nataliamidzio]
