That's pretty good. But my favorite D&D tale will probably always be the day that "Los Tiburon", Shark of the Land got to Level 4.

Reminds me of the Grand Galactic Inquisitor from Venture Brothers. IGNORE ME!

That's not how Bluff works at all

We need a Grogg, Garg, & MoonSlicer story about finding a repaired Storm Quiver. Chapter 1- Smoke in the Distance. Chapter 2-Grogg Trains.
ReverseTrapTsukasa
Chapter 3- Garg's Hatch-lings. Chapter 4- Guard Captain Moon Slicer. Chapter 5- The Empty Hallway. Chapter 6-Toothpicks.

Orcs lose some charisma though... also when they leave the area the person would just alert everyone else

My friend's thief, Robin Goodfellow, was an orc. Pick pocket was STR to shake target by the leg, point to what fell and say 'MINE'.

If he did some stupid minmaxing bullshit like that, it was Pathfinder
NiceMediumSizedPenis
I just played my first DnD game ever last night. We set a tavern on fire, one of my allies challenged a guard to a fight to let us go.
NiceMediumSizedPenis
I promptly shot him in the back killing him in the middle of said 1v1 with my ally(dick move) we tried to escape climbing onto a roof.
NiceMediumSizedPenis
I cut the rope with an arrow which forced us to find an exit instead. Needless to say I'm a dick.

This is litterally the character Manask from Stonewielder (Malazan book by Ian Esslemont)
Hymeria
I just joined in a campaign. I'm the cutest little elf. With an intimidation of 16. Plus another 8 from various buffs. I can only fail a 1/2
Hymeria
intimidation check if I get a nat 1. 2/2
OopsImAPumpkin
We were sneaking out of town once when our bard stumbled into a guard. Long story short, our characters formed a metal band.

I had a Dwarf named Sexasorusrex who would throw a Hobbit as a weapon.
VoidofLostKnowledge
For any curious would-be D&D players, I'd like to suggest Roll20. It's easy to find games and most people welcome new players and help them.
grandfalloon
Yeah, I literally built this same character when 4e released the Minotaur as a race. *CLOMP CLOMP* "You didn't see SHIT!"
BlahBlahDinks
Is he related to Krod from the significantly longer and more detailed green text on 4chan?

Players doing stuff like this is why I've never wanted to actually play DnD. I'm scared it'll just detoriate to a complete joke with no RP.
mormacil
This can be properly roleplayed :P
tzap
Well, I don't think a DM should really allow rolls like above at all. They are supposed to be able to determine modifiers themselves.
mormacil
The above is a retelling of an actual green text that makes more sense.
CommodoreSkippy
It depends on the group. My current group has a fair mix of comedy and storytelling. Previous groups have been all serious RP. I like both.
tzap
Well of course the other half of the why is that I don't have friends :( At least not ones who'd do pen'n'paper. Even have rulebooks myself.
NerdN1
Deadlands game. Friend's F character tries to ask an NPC out for a drink w/ seduction to distract him. Fails, badly. My M scary gunslinger>>
GildedFox
Don't often see Deadlands mentioned! Actually running a game right now. Though this story reminds me of a separate game where a friend's 1/3
ArdentSlacker
I have all the books. I <3 the fuck outta Deadlands. First system to nullify my dice curse.
NerdN1
Deadlands Classic or Savage Worlds? I played Classic and prefer it to the Savage Worlds system.
ArdentSlacker
Same. More dice = consistent victory. Bigger dice = bigger victory. And I even checked the statistics. From d4 through d12, your odds do 1+
ArdentSlacker
2/2 get better for getting bigger numbers, even with one die.
GildedFox
straight male character failed a roll to get full control of a spirit meant to help with social skills, which resulted in him being 2/3
GildedFox
a bit more "loose" socially, wound up seducing two male priests into going to the bar so the party could get past them. 3/3
NerdN1
Deadeye Bill had 2 strengths: 1) RIDICULOUS duel-wielding shooting (reliably puts 4 bullets in your face in an action). >>
NerdN1
2) Being scary as fuck. He had 2 hindrances and 2 edges for being scary. -4 to friendly social rolls, +8 to unfriendly ones.
NerdN1
One time we had these creepy spider things made of fingers crawling over the party. I would shoot them off 4 at a time.
NerdN1
told the NPC we were going to have a beer, he declined. Repeated the statement in deadly serious voice with a scary edge. >>
NerdN1
My friend was ashamed that the scary, disfigured bastard was able to distract a man better than her. >>
NerdN1
Before she tried this I insisted that she carry protection... by handing her ONE of my holdout derringers. I had a lot of guns.
ArdentSlacker
Ahh, the derringer. Less damage and accuracy than a thrown bottle, and if the bottle's not totally empty, it holds more shots. ;)
NerdN1
I had .45 derringers. Since they based damage solely on bullet size in the game, they had fine stopping power, but bad range & 2 shots.
NerdN1
2) Also, I had some slightly dangerous improved rounds in the derringer I didn't lend out. That one was in a spring holster, just in case.
JamaicanSauce
I don't know how to play DnD, I'd like to secretly think I'm too cool for that shit, but deep down I really want to learn how to play it
OzmaAsimov
I recommend other RPGs, such as Savage Worlds or Legend of the Five Rings. D&D is a dinosaur, stuck in its outdated ideas.
Sirscrap
i dont have friends
SJ1351
Too cool? Vin Diesel plays dnd, you arent cool enough.
toast667
It's real fun when you figure out how to break the game. I'm the stealthiest rogue, I can look you jn the eyes and you can't see me
Burke616
Are you cooler than Vin Diesel? Then learn and enjoy, my friend.
toast667
I felt the same thing but I started playing pathfinder(same thing basically, just an older edition of dnd) and it's my new favorite thing.
justherefortheshitposting
I played D&D with a group of rich jocks once, DMed by a madman. Trust me, playing with D&D nerds>being cool, even if you RP while being cool
BuggritMilleniumHandandShrimp
Def give it a shot! Just started this year and am having a great time. Try Critical Role or for a shorter adventure, Force Grey for inspo.
Kappa043
I play with my Army buddies. Turns out if you act like it's cool, people just assume it is.

Thats the funny thing i thought it was all ways really nerdy but wanted to do it, when i brought it up to my mates they were unsure but down

Roll20 bra. I've been looking for another group, my current one doesn't meet up that often.
blueflyingbear
Roll20 son. Google it. And start a discord acc.
barbwirelove
if you got skype, i can put you in touch with a lot of people that play online and have all the resources to send you shit for free
MartyAdams
You can be cool and play dnd for sure. The cool part is not giving a fuck about what people think. And a leather jacket helps too.
HumanFlag
Freaks and Geeks
Llama7
A leather trenchcoat on the other hand...Results may vary.
Enoan
Leather jackets are great, AC 11+Dex mod, 12+Dex mod if it's studded.
JamaicanSauce
Lmao, Thanks bruv! I think it's cool knowing others do too. I need a new leather jacket now
LaforgeMRA
I wanted to try after listening to The Adventure Zone but the 5E books were like $50 each
MisterFifth
If Google 5e starter books ,there should be a Google drive with a couple of the starter books in it ,if not pm me email and Ill share it
adobesubmarine
Pathfinder (aka edition 3.75) is the way to go. Materials are cheap or free, and there's SO MUCH material written for it.
khaozknight
The 5E SRD while limited, is free. For Pathfinder there's a lot of material on d20pfsrd.com. You can try Roll20 to find games online or 1/2
khaozknight
You can go to your FLGS to try and find some Pathfinder Society play. All you n̲e̲e̲d̲ is 1 Core Rulebook. 2/2
LaforgeMRA
Thanks, I'll look into these
BandmasterBootysnatcher
I recommend playing with 3rd edition books.
LaforgeMRA
That's what I was thinking I would have to do
HailtotheGM
I picked up paperback versions of the Pathfinder Core rulebook & Bestiary from my local game shop for under $50. Everything you need to play

DevilsShad0w
Listen to a dnd podcast or watch a youtube/twitch show. You'll pick up the basics quite quickly. I recommend Critical Role. Its on YouTube
JamaicanSauce
Will do
shirtlessteo
I suggest Glass Cannon Podcast. Great 1 hour shows with invested players and lots of hilarious moments and awesome role playing
OopsImAPumpkin
I also recommend Aquisitions Incorporated, also on Youtube
DevilsShad0w
I still havent watched Acquisitions Inc. Have too many other series to catch up on him :(
OopsImAPumpkin
Acq Inc is good, but its been on for like 10+ years (one every year) The best place to start is the web series they did recently

Part of being an adult is realizing all the greatest jokes start on 4chan then get regurgitated for years by satellite sites like reddit

What does knowing that 4chan was the genesis of most memes for a while create an adult?

Is it the wereboar one?

Alternative possibilities: A) Same guy who wrote the green text B) His friend had copied the strategy from someone C) You are the one lying

That's basically what he is now, except he's also good at punching. Who needs lock picks when you have siege gauntlets
DoctorWhoots420
Dem titan stone knuckles tho
ImAPenguin13
They made doors his favored enemy
DoctorWhoots420
That's actually the whole groups worst enemy in my opinion lol. Grog shouldn't have too much of a problem, unless he rolls really shitty
exponentiallymusical
Too bad he has shit charisma though lol
Pegussu
The DM houseruled that Intimidation can use strength b/c a hulking, monstrous, goliath barbarian being bad at intimidation is dumb.
CheerilyTossesRum
He has better charisma than Keylith
exponentiallymusical
But his intimidation rolls are almost already crap, which doesn't make much sense considering he's a Goliath barbarian.
DoctorWhoots420
He's a teddy goliath
JMcLellan
Yeah but in terms of social interaction Keyleth is borderline autistic so that's not saying much
DoctorWhoots420
HAHAHA okay I laughed way too hard at this, I hate how she is some times, but it just proves how they're perfect role players
CheerilyTossesRum
Keylith's character annoys me so much, and the fact that Marisha never reads her spells just compounds it
Enohpoxas
What is critical role? (I know shit about D&D)
urustai
Critical Role airs on https://www.twitch.tv/geekandsundry every Thursday at 7pm PST where a "bunch of nerdy voice actors play D&D"
ivoryashes
I highly suggest you watch it. I know a lot of people watch it and don't even play. It's just entertaining.
SamuraiChemist
Great show. Sometimes so hammy I wonder if they get mistaken visits from animal welfare. Sometimes deep enough to bring me to tears (1/2)
SamuraiChemist
"Is there an inscription?" "Yes....I have passed through fire" Still gets me.
DoctorWhoots420
I didn't either before I watched it but it's so awesome. It's a live series on twitch, still going to this day, voice actors play d&d.
ArdentSlacker
Very very GOOD voice actors. The GM has been in everything. As everyone.
TheyCallMeATree
you may know him as McCree from overwatch

Matt Mercer is a great voice actor and just as great DM

I'm so surprised how many Crit roll fans are commenting on my comment. THIS IS AWESOME! Btw Matt mercer makes that whole show in my opinion

When I first watched it I was amazed at how Matt Mercer sculpted his little world, and made it Soo... Beautiful. Enjoy!

He's truly talented. The range of voices he can do, and how he has the ability to immerse you into the world...he's frickin' awesome.
