I am that GM. Not the poster's actual GM, but a GM that only needs to come up with a premise for the game, an initial location, and know enough about the NPCs to understand their reaction to anything. From there I let my group run wild, and let the world around them react in the way it should. It gives total immersion and credibility to the world they ruin, or at least try to. I am the GM after all, and rocks can certainly fall from the sky on any given day of the week. But mostly Tuesdays, when the rocks are shaped like demons and get back up to fight the party after they crush everything. Good times;)
@@nvfury13 oh they try, but that's the trick. There is no rail, ever. I only let them think they're going off the rails, because it's fun for the players. If the group wants to ask the peach vendor about how they're day is going. I tell them in a rustic accent, "good,but lately, I've had some trouble with a few people coming by and pressuring me and the other vendors for coin." Hook. The players ask, "is there a reward??" The vendor, "They must have stored the coin somewhere, it's yours if you take care of our problem." Line. The party runs off to beat the crap out of the thugs and find the loot. Sinker. Just think about the day to day trouble of the NPCs, and they'll come up with more story hooks then you ever could.
yeah, currently playing a brass statue of a Chinese dragon who makes up for his lack of mobility with magical powers and an army of ninjas. He is trying to free himself from the curse that turned him into a statue. The other players haven't met the statue yet and just think I'm playing the ninja cohort.
@ebola chan is love that's not a joke character. That's a legitimate and awesome concept for a character As a matter of fact, the TTRPG system I use has a class that functions like this RAW (basically the core mechanic being a handful of underlings)
@@Konpekikaminari the joke part is that it's literally Shendu from Jackie Chan Adventures. As for system it's D&D3.5e Shendu is a dragonkin sorcerer with the leadership feat and his followers and cohort are a daemonic race from a dragon magazine article with levels in the ninja class. We adapted the evil sacrifices ruleset from the book of vile darkness (we used spell component cost as a stand in, 100gp value of a gem being equal to 1hd of a creature) and shendu has to fashion a number of talismans out of magical gems to get equivalent dark craft exp to a 16th level character in order to free himself. His cohort has been named by the group as "Pedro" and he is now the sombrero wearing ninja gardener with a fake mustache after presenting the DMPC a 6pack of PBR to infiltrate the group as a quick way to gather the gems his master needs.
As someone who's only played 5e I have to ask how much of that is homebrew and how much is rules legal because I remember someone saying that 3.5e was like the most toolboxy of the DND editions
@@hugswanted7954 adaptation of the sacrifice rules to work off knowledge arcana and gems for freeing shendu from his curse and the particular way shendu is trapped as a statue are the only homebrew aspects. (the backstory I made up is that shendu was in a magic duel and used a polymorph spell to take the form of a chan'ge dragon and right before he won was hit with a custom permanent paralysis spell. this is just the simplified version the real one i wrote is waaay longer.)
Yeah, when we only get one greentext video a week and it is just one guy constantly rattling off unimportant detail after unimportant detail to the story for nearly 20 minutes -_-

Some day I wanna play as a Cleric/Barbarian Uplifted Rooster. It would still be about 2 ft tall and movement isn’t great, but it would hit like a freight train if the train had serrated claws on the front of it.
Essentially, it’s backstory would be that it was a regular Rooster that, from watching people bring coins to a shrine where they’d be given a small amount of food in exchange, the Rooster started to do the same, and as such was then uplifted enough to use Clerical magic, so it would never have to worry about starving (or whatever other reason, maybe that deity was just amused by a bird giving them money). At which point the townspeople noticed this now magical bird and started making it heal people while also keeping it from going about it’s usual routine of finding spare coins to bring to the shrine. Which leads to it becoming annoyed, but because it’s a bird, it can’t do much about it, so the same deity, sensing it’s frustration gives it enough strength to defend itself and as such gains Barbarian strength and proceeds to kick it’s way to freedom. But not before acquiring an especially shiny Platinum piece to bring to the shrine for food, where it instead gains intelligence (just enough to speak and learn what words mean) along with a Sash with it’s name (name given by the Deity) so it can go out and be their silly little champion.
We need more DnD stories of one character doing a line of coke and letting loose. "Chaotic Stupid" is easily the best possible alignment, and there aren't enough characters with it.
1:56 I think I might know what's up with the Orc. I forget which edition, but there's lore about subraces with draconic abilities. Halflings got theirs from spending quality time with Gold Dragons, Dwarves got theirs by being enslaved by Red Dragons, and Orcs got theirs by hunting and eating White Dragons. I think they were called Dragonblood Races, but I'm not 100% sure.
“Hey guys, SkyDieRay, OceanEliminationBeam, LandTerminationLazer, and SubterraneanlayerHomocideEmanation are all offline, so Space-TimeObliterationBlast is here to host today!
First of the year, and I hope to provide many introductions for the foreseeable future. Well it's been a nice campaign everybody, and let's have a better campaign this time around. Happy New Year, to everyone's future campaigns whether real or make-believe.
I once had a jailbreak go wonderfully wrong. We were in a town and one of my friends was a warlock, and his patron decided he needed to kill the nearest people to him. This happened when he was in a bar. He went crazy and started killing civilians in a huge city, the army was called and because the rest of the party was affiliated with him we were going to be arrested along with the warlock. We ran into the woods where we had an epic fight resulting in every player but me, the rouge, getting captured. I hid in a really tall tree and shot people with my crossbow when they tried to come up, so they called for a wood cutter to knock down the tree. The main force of guards leaves with my friends and leaves like 10 of them behind to watch me. Myself and the guards watching me got in a shouting match about whether I should leave the tree or not, and ended in me lighting the tree on fire with my torch as a distraction. I snuck up the prison and decided to plant several bombs around the outside of the prison in the walls. I had to roll for each one to determine how well I lodged them in and such, and rolled a nat 20. That resulted in me putting one of the bombs above a gunpowder stash, and several other ones near load bearing beams. When the bombs went off I collapsed the prison and killed several of my friends on accident and badly injured the rest.
I gotta know; Was saying, "Just Three Point Fifth Edition Things", instead of, "Just Three Point Five E Things", intentional as a joke/goof or just a force of habit to say Fifth Edition every time you see "5e"? Both are equally valid, I am just curious.
Me: Thinking that one player kinda sounds like a Nazi at the beginning. Later: Did I mention this was an evil campaign? Me: You kinda did but I didn’t pick up on it at first.
9:25 Man wish that were my problem. i was too evil for my party running evil campain and got executed by them. turns out running orphanage where i make the orphans myself and feed them their parents meat and random bandits while going in detail how i sliced juicy, fatty nice slab of tight meat for the kids to enjoy was "too evil" .

Hello! SkyD-
[More modem noises.]
I heard this
Some day I wanna play as a Cleric/Barbarian Uplifted Rooster.
It would still be about 2 ft tall and movement isn’t great, but it would hit like a freight train if the train had serrated claws on the front of it.
Essentially, it’s backstory would be that it was a regular Rooster that, from watching people bring coins to a shrine where they’d be given a small amount of food in exchange, the Rooster started to do the same, and as such was then uplifted enough to use Clerical magic, so it would never have to worry about starving (or whatever other reason, maybe that deity was just amused by a bird giving them money).
At which point the townspeople noticed this now magical bird and started making it heal people while also keeping it from going about it’s usual routine of finding spare coins to bring to the shrine.
Which leads to it becoming annoyed, but because it’s a bird, it can’t do much about it, so the same deity, sensing it’s frustration gives it enough strength to defend itself and as such gains Barbarian strength and proceeds to kick it’s way to freedom. But not before acquiring an especially shiny Platinum piece to bring to the shrine for food, where it instead gains intelligence (just enough to speak and learn what words mean) along with a Sash with it’s name (name given by the Deity) so it can go out and be their silly little champion.
You can't derail this story, I never laid down the track!
The end of a Skydieray video is like a successful three-way, they both require at least one grade-A bi.
The fact that that guy said if it's a UA-cam video to like and subscribe is hilarious. This is the only way that can work on me lol
We need more DnD stories of one character doing a line of coke and letting loose. "Chaotic Stupid" is easily the best possible alignment, and there aren't enough characters with it.

You are 100% correct. Tor and I felt it would fit his character concept the best
ok but 18d6 per 10 feet is insane thats essentially an instant kill for most things even if you rolled 18 1s wtf lol
To be fair a 5-6 ton artifact enchanted invisible elephant traveling at any speed, landing on thing, kills most things.
Welp. They brought out the Henderson Scale. Oh boy.
