Jared, is easily the best DM I’ve ever had the privilege of playing with. This was like the dopest one-shot ever. Thank you my dude, for like, the greatest birthday present ever.
I like how Jeff says ONE of the stories from that day. Sounds like some other crazy things happened in the one-shot adventure that day than just the baby toss.
I wanna share one of my stories on D&D if anyone wants to read it: One of my silly adventures was when I was with my party heading to a town, for the current campaign, the details of the campaign aren't important, but in the middle of our trip to this town we decided to camp, which it was a risky decision, cause even though we had good equipment for the winter, there was a really harsh blizzard. so it could be harmful for the group, but that didn't stopped us to do a little bit of hunting near the camp cause our rations were gone, with a good roll from the whole party we ended up with more food than we need, so we ate a lot that night. After the blizzard passed our DM said "roll me your Constitution" for obvious reasons... we rolled, everyone is healthy nothing happened *YAY* . So we entered this humble town, and for information of the current quest we needed a big sum of money, and since we had a lot of meat to spare, we went on and sell it around the Town... but not just normal raw meat, with some of my friend's skills we made a post to sell cooked meat, so we basically made a small tacos restaurant in town... everyone LOVED them, the word spread through the whole town really quick, we sold out and ended up with a lot of money. So we re-stock ourselves, had a nice night of sleep at the tavern and continued with our mission. We got pretty beaten up by some bandits relevant to the quest, but we finished, ready to reclaim our price, so it was a really productive day, we went back to that town to heal ourselves, the town, for some reason it wasn't as lively as the last time we were here... we ended up going to the local temple cause someone were poisoned or curse or something along those lines, the Priest did a checkup and he said that everyone were supposed to be... Intoxicated by something cause our stomachs had something bad in it, something HORRIBLY bad, but we were completely okay, apparently we hunted a pack of very ill deer, and that Saving throw we did in the blizzard, wasn't for the blizzard, it was for the food in horrible condition and we "survived" as the GM putted. We sold to the whole town a bunch of lethally bad meat... we were all like "oh fuck..." we tried to inconspicuously leave town, but we were spotted by the few people that were outside and all of the sudden an angry mob was chasing us, we ran as fast as we could, as we saw the mob getting slower and smaller due to the illness making the townspeople to collapse. Later at that campaign we received the news... that town had been wiped out by a mysterious plague... We annihilated an entire town, by selling them really bad state Tacos. ...Good times.
This really is the beauty of d&d... you cant make these kind of situations up. Every act is heroic, every small moment holds weight, and when more than one mind collaborates at one time truly unique experiences are to be had.
The best thing I've ever heard someone say during a campaign was when a monk who ploclaimed himself a professional wrestler was riding on the back of a powerful flying creature. If he loss his grab on this creature, then he knew it'd devastate the entire town. So while holding the back of the monster he did the only thing he could do: "I pin the monster." The DM and everyone looked at him wide-eyed and worried. The monk continued. "I roll to pin his wing." He rolled and successfully pinned one wing on the monster. So there they were, many feet above the ground, and this monk with this pinned helpless monster are now soaring towards the ground at full speed. Despite the desperation of the monster, they both landed on the ground with a mighty crash, the impact instantly killing the monster. The monk, however, survived due to DM intervention and some great rolls. The others gathered him up, and raised his hand high, proclaiming him the winner of the match.
I mean, he didn't need to actually be quick to think that, just his character, he probably had as much time as the dm gave him (maybe between laughs or meta conversations?)
during a real session that isn't being recorded and where there's no need to plow through for the sake of listeners, there can be a lot of downtime from metagaming to just slow playing. Heck, I've listened to other sessions DM'd by jared and they can be very slow with their progression.
Why is it always babies... A few months ago in the campaign where I'm playing my Rogue Valkaer Ravensong, when we were way lower level, we were contracted to discover why babies were going missing in the town of Sedieas. So, we get there, ask around and we find out that one was taken recently, so we follow the trail, and we get pointed to the nearby forest. We follow the trail and we find a wooden hut deep in the forest, and we had heard rumblings of hags earlier. So, I stealth up and look in the window. There's an eye on a table inside, and 5 cribs with babies in them. I report back and our barbarian rushes in, it's not trapped, it's empty, save for the babies. While our barb and monk are making sure the babies are okay, Valkaer is looking around to see if there's anything of note, and our wizard Sahvyn is inspecting the eye. On sheer instinct of "that's nothing good" I stab it with my dagger, and the moment I do that, three hags POOF into the building, dazed and confused and we get a round of surprise on them. Our barbarian, who has a baby in each arm and one slung on his chest with a sheet looks at our DM and straight up asks "How much melee damage does a baby do?"
Asmodeus to be honest, I would be that barbarian. The last time I played, I decided to get into character, role playing as the campaign went on... I was a barbarian Half-Orc with an intelligence of 7... So I ended up doing a lot of stupid stuff that made the party laugh, such as: Oh, a giant scythe trap is in the way? Just rip it out of the wall and take it with me Or: Oh, a trapped chest, I might be able to bypass the trap if I split the chest in 2 with my great axe, Or one of my favorite moments in the entire campaign: I had some rope and the Use Rope skill, so I had the rogue tie a grappling hook to the rope (since I was too stupid) and then tossed the rope up to the top of this tall wall that we had to climb... then the others tell me to tug on the rope to make sure it was sturdy, however they forgot I had gotten lucky and had a Strength stat of 18, so I tug on the rope without thinking, causing the entire wall to come crashing down on top of us
From the explanation, I've imagined Donald Duck throwing the baby through panic, and Goofy getting second wind by extending his rubber-tubed arms for successful catch.
It was a desperate act to save my wallet. Ok here is what happened we were in a tree top elf town(large trees with buildings and bridges connecting them) and a thief stole my money but I rolled a 20 so I saw it happen and started to chase the elf thief, in an attempt to get away she started to climb down the tree we were up on so I threw a bar of soap I had in my pack at her. The soap hit her and she failed her saving throw to keep her grip on the tree and she fell almost 100ft to her death. I have never killed anyone with soap be for so this was my most memorable dnd kill ever.

the most stupid thing ive ever done was drink a poisoned wine glass to convince the guy i was trying to poison it wasnt poison. thank god for lesser restoration.
It is never stupid if you can guarantee you live through it... in my case though, for 3.5e, I had the feat steadfast determination, which simply said you do not automatically fail on a 1 for fort saves... and with how my save was(21!), almost all poisons could not affect me.
I remember when one of my players decided to throw a baby from a tower, at its mother. He then proceeded to jump from the tower AC style and broke his back (power of a natural 1).
I wanna thank u for getting me so into this fan base, my Boy Scout troop friends started playing a little bit because one of us has been plying for a long time. I am now in love with a fan base where I can finally nerd out and not be judged
I'm so grateful for D&December, last year I watched and I was like "huh, seems interesting" and 1 year later I'm suuuuuuper into DnD now and I'm running my own campaign. Love you Jared :,)
Incredible story! Makes me appreciate how intricate and amazing D&D can be. Whenever I watch one of your D&D videos, it always very subtly convinces me more and more I should try out D&D at least once. Sounds like you had quite the adventure!
I ran a game a few weeks ago where a group of level 3's had to fight a bone devil. They had two level 3 npc allies, and the bone devil had to get to an artifact and destroy it. They had gone through only about a quarter of it's health, their npc's were fighting off it's summons, and it was at the artifact. Four rounds of attacks could destroy the artifact. Then, the cleric did something amazing (this was his fourth or so session of D&D ever). He cast blade ward and sanctuary on himself, and then jumped onto and hugged the artifact. He kept the artifact alive for another one and a half rounds before taking one less damage than the amount for him to instantly die (he was healed by another party member afterwards). The party would kill the devil when it was one round away from destroying the artifact, with three members and one npc down. Most exciting battle of d&d I've ever had.
great job PBG. using a spell with such quick thinking. I never got into a situation like that back then, but I can assure you I never would have thought to do that unless I had the Sorcerers Metamagic.
So I didn't really save a life... I actually took one. Buuuut the story is good as fuck! Think generic fantasy setting... So we were exploring this small village that have had some troubles. We split up, talking to different people. I found a lead about a outsider living in the woods just outside of town, a odd fella some wold say. Probably up to no good. So I went there alone. When I come up to the guys cabin I sneak around checking windows and see him doing some weird evil looking magic in his back room. He puts a strange book back on his bookcase and leaves the room. I go around up front, knocking on his door. Introduce myself and tell him why I'm there. Of course he is eager to talk about the troubles in the town, so he invites me in. We get to talking and I ask him if he isn't afraid to live alone out in the woods with all the troubles and talk of evil, and he said "-No, because I can't die." and sounded very confident. So we got into this long argument about weather or not he could die or not, at least 15 minutes. And long story short, he without using any rolls convinces my character that he indeed cannot die and to prove it I should slit his throat. So I do. He dies. I look like a complete fool. I freak out. But I also remember him doing weird magic in the other room. And here is where it gets really fucking hilarious. I start searching the place for any clue to what he was on about. accidentally tip over a container of flammable material that sort of puffs up and goes into the fireplace, starting a fire on multiple places in the cabin. So there I am, in the middle of nowhere, trying to figure out if this old bloke is related to the troubles in the town and facing the prospect that I might loose any lead we have if the cabin burns down... So without water in sight, I do the only sensible thing I could think of in 20 seconds (because our gamemaster was adamant that if it's a pressed situation, the player should not have time to think) I take my knife, do a cut going from the belly up to the throat of the dead man and grab him by the ankles and start smacking the corpse at the flames, blood and guts spilling everywhere. His head even fell off.... I succeed at killing the fire... But now the entire fucking cabin looks like a bloodbath, me included. So after freaking out a second time, I decide I need to clean myself, to feel human again. So I head out front to a nearby river throw myself in the water. Wasing away, being generally traumatized but in the end confident I did what was necessary since this guy was EVIL, I know he was, I saw his magic. AND he is probably a necromancer that wanted me to kill him like that. So while I was washing away, my entire party had meet up and decided to go check out the hermit in the woods that was know for being a bit crazy and eccentric. They get to the cabin, and go like "What in the actual fuck happened here?! Wolves? Werewolves?" Oh and that evil looking magic... The guy was cooking, I fumbled my skillcheck for spying on him. :D I killed an innocent eccentric old man, set fire to his house and then beat the flames with his mutilated corpse. needless to say, we all had pain in our bellies from laughing so damn hard that evening. :)
I remember when I was in high school some friends use to play this and I would laugh at them. But now that im all grown up I really enjoy listening to D&D stories :) plz make more!
I love the stories of D&D from other players, i remember one particular (the best story i have) happen to my friends, when they discovered a ring of wishes, then one of my friends how was a Ranger specialized with 2 weapons have an imperfect hand because he stole some money to a god church, long story short, the god (i do not remember well, i think it was Pelor), curse him with one ugly hand. Returning to the original story with the ring of the wishes (only 3 wishes have) , he found it and it wish "I want this hand become the same at this hand (his good right hand, by the way, he has 10 int)", the ring granted his wish and. .. TADAA! his left ugly hand become a perfectly and healthy right hand! ... with his thump and everything like that, so, he wish again "no! i wish my left hand be reversed" then the ring granted with an ugly hand again, he wishes again and last one "no!, i want to be a healthy idiot!" and then he become and idiot, like... 7 int, with and ugly hand again and lost his 3 wishes.
Once quite recently, I was playing a campaign with 8 folks including the DM. It took place in a world that had shattered ten years prior and now it was only a bunch of floating islands above a portal to the abyss held up only by the force of will of the gods. our party had escaped from a few jail cells in a dungeon after meeting an old NPC who was imprisoned with us. We outsmarted and out-snuck most of the goblins and hobgoblins we met until we reunited our party and went in to fight the final boss. To our suprise, the mastermind behind this demon cult was actually a priest we had met earlier, and he was about to sacrifice a girl on an altar. we beat up the hobgoblins around her and cut off the priest's escape and killed him too. That was actually a big mistake because it turns out that the sacrificial altar absorbed any errant souls in the room, and we had just killed 12 folks. A spined devil, buffed by the extra souls he absorbed, emerged from the portal/altar and we knew we were probably toast, but then our cleric remembered a vision he had had earlier of the island temple collapsing, and the temple foundations were right above our head. The minatoar barbarian and my character, a gnomish wizard, proceeded to hammer the ceiling while the halfling bard kept the devil cackling in the center of the room with Tasha's Hideous Laughter. The temple collapsed on the devil, carrying on through the floor and falling out the bottom of the island and into the abyss below. We all had a couple of seconds of respite before our cleric's patron announced that we had done well, but now the island had to be 'cleansed'. then the room started to crumble, and we all came to realise that if we didn't move quickly, the island would crumble underneath us and we'd be saying 'hi' to the spined devil down in the Nine Hells. that's when our sorcerer remembered that we'd left the old man back in his cell until it was safe for him to follow. "The old man!" he shouted as he ran back down the corridor we had come. well crap. So the party quickly came up with a plan. four members would go up to the surface with the girl we'd rescued and three of us, including the minatoar, myself, and the sorcerer would run down and rescue the man. luckily I had cast jump on myself and the minatoar earlier so we were able to jump past a sizable gap that had appeared in the floor, the rock crumbled behind us though, so there was no going back that way, especially because jump expired and my wizard was all but out of spell slots. (I was saving one for feather fall on the off chance that we could slow-fall until the airship could pick us up.) We found the man, the barbarian hauled him over his shoulder, and we ran for a room that we hadn't visited before. luckily, it was another way out. we clambered out onto an open meadow whose eastern horizon was quickly disappearing, so we ran the other way. it was a back-breaking sprint for a hundred feet before we all jumped to land in safety on the 'pure' side of the island. Anyway, that is the most drastic action I've ever taken to save a life in D&D.
I actually used this one-shot for me and my friends's Pathfinder game. It turned out really fun, and we made the dragon ohdahviing from Skyrim. One of our characters (a cleric specifically) managed to ONE-SHOT the dragon with a large ballista in the end!
I once walked into a completely blackened door (as in anything going past the door instantly disappears, including light) and ended up entering a wizard’s mind
A DnD hardcore? my concern is this... a DM wants to have a story to exist, so he will not be focused on trying to kill the players... granted, shit can happen and people could end up dead as a result, but it should never be the intent to kill off people. Now, a campaign in general? YES.
I mean 5th level spells aren't really all that high. Go to a temple in any really large city and at least one priest will almost always be capable of casting it.
I have a Half-Orc Fighter/Thief in my current game, who is a leader of a small gang called the Nameless. He uses his pure brawn to augment his thief skills and keep his gang members in line (Battlemaster Maneuvers also work really well with a thief build) and as a result he was not an overly dextrous character. At one point, a very important NPC died in a way that would make resurrection next to impossible. The Paladin called upon his deity to aid us, but nothing happened, after a few minutes, he petitioned ANY being powerful enough to aid us(beginning his path down the Oathbreaker Paladin/Warlock multiclass), and as a result a Demon appeared. As a price for restoring the life of the NPC and granting the Paladin new powers, the Demon demanded that one of the Paladins companions give up something important to them. Several of the players tried to offer material goods that they found very useful (an heirloom enchanted ring, a set of enchanted armor etc), but the Demon was not interested. At this point, my character stepped forward and offered his Strength. Cackling, the demon accepted, and sapped the strength of my character, permanently reducing his Strength stat from 18 to 8. As a result, I've had to completely re-think how my character is built, and he slowly began to learn how to read and use magic, learning from the party Wizard (this resulted in my thief specialisation being Arcane Trickster, resulting in a Battlemaster/Arcane Trickster multiclass who could do a bit of everything). It's probably the most extreme thing I've ever done to save the life of another character.
We've never thrown any civilians in our D&D campaigns, but we did have a game session where we had to protect a tavern owner from swarms of flying insects summoned by some evil curse. We sealed him in the cellar of the tavern and proceeded to get our level one butts kicked by the bugs. By the time we were done with the last swarm, we were all very low on health (my 4th edition wizard didn't have much in the way of area effect spells), and we opened the cellar to find the tavern owner had passed out from fear. He was fine, and we recovered. The campaign was only a one shot though.
I could easily visualize a wizard PBG being like "OHSHIT" and casting Magehand, then when the baby lands safely, he in-game says, "I caught it, right?"
"So, young person, what's your earliest memory?" "Some guy airclapped above me while I was falling through fire and then I landed on a magical cushion!" "...WHAT?"
i once played as a chaotic neutral kobold who was pretty much brothers with another player, playing as a kenku. we were both rouges, but i used shortbows and the kenku used whips, and i'd hold onto the kenku's back... firing arrows left and right like a badass while my kenku brother used a whip and shield to strike nearby enemies, and we did a lot of desperate 'one-two' combos together to save each over's lives, but probably the most desperate was when my character rushed a lich with a DEAD GOBLIN CORPSE, and the kenku followed up with a dash towards our paladin, due to his injuries.
While DMing, I had a player who, moments after seeing their cleric die, changed their faith to worship Tiamat and got a pact made to revive their friend. It worked out... mostly.
Wow! That was a really great and enthralling story! I was worried I would get lost because I haven't played a tabletop rpg before and and seems complex, but I was still able to follow ...it also probably helped that PBG is a character! 😆
Jared, is easily the best DM I’ve ever had the privilege of playing with. This was like the dopest one-shot ever.
Thank you my dude, for like, the greatest birthday present ever.
Yungtown sounds like a great dnd game
You toss those babies good, bro
Yungtowns songs
Haven't seen you in a while. Love your music bro.
I am jealous, I'd love to play DnD with ProJared
I won't be forgetting that D&D game any time soon.
PeanutButterGamer ... So you caught it, right?
PBG = Professional Baby-rescuing Guy
Hey pbg, whats your favorite class?
Nice catch!
Kudos to your quick thinking dude. Really well done!
I was wondering if you would tell one of the stories from that day, haha.
I'm going to guess there's a few... interesting ones.
SpaceHamster I'm so happy you guys played a game together =') and simultaneously envious
I like how Jeff says ONE of the stories from that day. Sounds like some other crazy things happened in the one-shot adventure that day than just the baby toss.
*"Absolutely MENTAL dragon PRANKS ADVENTURERS! You won't BELIEVE what this monk did in response!"*
Gone Sexual. Guards involved. FUNNY!!! MUST SEE!!!
Halfway through the story I thought they were gonna fire the baby at the blue dragon with the balista.
I'm not sure if I'm disappointed or not.
Imagine if it started attacking the dragon enough to weaken it immensely.
Oh, I were soooo sure they were going to fire the baby with the balista, but I imagined they would do that by accident.
exactly what I was thinking too x'D BabyBomb
or PBG failing to catch the baby and it clobbering the dragon by accident xD
Same lol
I wanna share one of my stories on D&D if anyone wants to read it:
One of my silly adventures was when I was with my party heading to a town, for the current campaign, the details of the campaign aren't important, but in the middle of our trip to this town we decided to camp, which it was a risky decision, cause even though we had good equipment for the winter, there was a really harsh blizzard. so it could be harmful for the group, but that didn't stopped us to do a little bit of hunting near the camp cause our rations were gone, with a good roll from the whole party we ended up with more food than we need, so we ate a lot that night.

Ah, the story of Los Tiburon! Always a good one!
THANK YOU! I've been looking for it forever! You're the true spirit of Christmas, my friend.
man that was some quick thinking on pbg's part props to him
I mean, he didn't need to actually be quick to think that, just his character, he probably had as much time as the dm gave him (maybe between laughs or meta conversations?)

A rare thing for Peeb.

So, we get there, ask around and we find out that one was taken recently, so we follow the trail, and we get pointed to the nearby forest.

Our barbarian, who has a baby in each arm and one slung on his chest with a sheet looks at our DM and straight up asks "How much melee damage does a baby do?"
Allie Kaldwyn-Cain but how much damage did that baby do?
Asmodeus to be honest, I would be that barbarian. The last time I played, I decided to get into character, role playing as the campaign went on... I was a barbarian Half-Orc with an intelligence of 7... So I ended up doing a lot of stupid stuff that made the party laugh, such as:
Oh, a giant scythe trap is in the way? Just rip it out of the wall and take it with me
Or: Oh, a trapped chest, I might be able to bypass the trap if I split the chest in 2 with my great axe,
Or one of my favorite moments in the entire campaign: I had some rope and the Use Rope skill, so I had the rogue tie a grappling hook to the rope (since I was too stupid) and then tossed the rope up to the top of this tall wall that we had to climb... then the others tell me to tug on the rope to make sure it was sturdy, however they forgot I had gotten lucky and had a Strength stat of 18, so I tug on the rope without thinking, causing the entire wall to come crashing down on top of us
I'm more concerned on how durable it is myself...
Improvised weapons use 1d4+STR so the damage would vary.
*fireassassin123*
If you tore the wall, causing it to fall so easily then you shouldn't be climbing it anyway
As soon as I heard that this story involved PBG, I knew it was gonna be good.
"... so I caught it right?" XD That's soooo PBG. Loved this story, thanks ProJared :3
From the explanation, I've imagined Donald Duck throwing the baby through panic, and Goofy getting second wind by extending his rubber-tubed arms for successful catch.
Yep! Love PBG.
I most certainly would not mind a PBG Hardcore season of D&D.
Oh my god, yes!
D&D Hardcore?
Thomaznovaki The current Minecraft one seems like it could be similar with Todd as DM
jared would be a better dm
It was a desperate act to save my wallet. Ok here is what happened we were in a tree top elf town(large trees with buildings and bridges connecting them) and a thief stole my money but I rolled a 20 so I saw it happen and started to chase the elf thief, in an attempt to get away she started to climb down the tree we were up on so I threw a bar of soap I had in my pack at her. The soap hit her and she failed her saving throw to keep her grip on the tree and she fell almost 100ft to her death.

They obviously would have killed that dragon quicker if one of them had used a ballista bat. :P
I picture Tydra riding a flying ballista shot, holding another.
Screw physics.
They just made their chars, so there're no potions to use it
the most stupid thing ive ever done was drink a poisoned wine glass to convince the guy i was trying to poison it wasnt poison. thank god for lesser restoration.
It is never stupid if you can guarantee you live through it... in my case though, for 3.5e, I had the feat steadfast determination, which simply said you do not automatically fail on a 1 for fort saves... and with how my save was(21!), almost all poisons could not affect me.
That is some Princess Bride level determination right there! XD
oh yea forgot that happened in the princess bride!
"What has been your most desperate act to save a life?"
*Looks at title* This can't end well.
*Watches video*
Waddaya know, it ended well.
3:46 "I cheated you. I cheated all of you and you didn't even notice."
And now he did it again
No way dude hahahahahfuryfhchdudjc
This aged nicely
Kazandu really
I remember when one of my players decided to throw a baby from a tower, at its mother. He then proceeded to jump from the tower AC style and broke his back (power of a natural 1).
Was the baby alright, though?
Asmodeus sadly enough he died. If it makes you feel any better the mom did beat the living hell out of the crippled player.
I would watch the crap out of a campaign with you and the crew.
I can imagine PBG being like
"so I caught it right?" w/ a casual face
Seeing him so happy and nerding out warms my heart.
I wanna thank u for getting me so into this fan base, my Boy Scout troop friends started playing a little bit because one of us has been plying for a long time. I am now in love with a fan base where I can finally nerd out and not be judged
My marathon of rewatching, liking, and commenting on every Jared video continues. Video 72
"Alright, make a dex saving throw to catch that baby."
Best DM quote.
Ah, the old "Rather Dashing" play. "THROW. BABY!"
I'm so grateful for D&December, last year I watched and I was like "huh, seems interesting" and 1 year later I'm suuuuuuper into DnD now and I'm running my own campaign. Love you Jared :,)
All the best UA-camrs together in one sesh
Incredible story! Makes me appreciate how intricate and amazing D&D can be. Whenever I watch one of your D&D videos, it always very subtly convinces me more and more I should try out D&D at least once.
Sounds like you had quite the adventure!
I'd have to say that "Baby Toss" & "Booger Face" are some of the most unique video titles I've ever seen on UA-cam!
This is my favorite series on your channel, and I hope we get to see more for years to come!
Heard the UA-camrs he played with... Immediately reminded of the Jared route from Asagao.
Baby Toss sounds like a dodgy tavern sport...
I'm surprised to how good Jared's memory is. Being able to remember all these tales in such detail is truly fascinating
I ran a game a few weeks ago where a group of level 3's had to fight a bone devil. They had two level 3 npc allies, and the bone devil had to get to an artifact and destroy it. They had gone through only about a quarter of it's health, their npc's were fighting off it's summons, and it was at the artifact. Four rounds of attacks could destroy the artifact. Then, the cleric did something amazing (this was his fourth or so session of D&D ever). He cast blade ward and sanctuary on himself, and then jumped onto and hugged the artifact. He kept the artifact alive for another one and a half rounds before taking one less damage than the amount for him to instantly die (he was healed by another party member afterwards). The party would kill the devil when it was one round away from destroying the artifact, with three members and one npc down. Most exciting battle of d&d I've ever had.
Someone should animate this
rafael iglesias ask Puffin Forrest.
great job PBG. using a spell with such quick thinking. I never got into a situation like that back then, but I can assure you I never would have thought to do that unless I had the Sorcerers Metamagic.
So I didn't really save a life... I actually took one. Buuuut the story is good as fuck! Think generic fantasy setting...
So we were exploring this small village that have had some troubles. We split up, talking to different people. I found a lead about a outsider living in the woods just outside of town, a odd fella some wold say. Probably up to no good. So I went there alone. When I come up to the guys cabin I sneak around checking windows and see him doing some weird evil looking magic in his back room. He puts a strange book back on his bookcase and leaves the room. I go around up front, knocking on his door. Introduce myself and tell him why I'm there. Of course he is eager to talk about the troubles in the town, so he invites me in. We get to talking and I ask him if he isn't afraid to live alone out in the woods with all the troubles and talk of evil, and he said "-No, because I can't die." and sounded very confident. So we got into this long argument about weather or not he could die or not, at least 15 minutes. And long story short, he without using any rolls convinces my character that he indeed cannot die and to prove it I should slit his throat. So I do. He dies. I look like a complete fool. I freak out. But I also remember him doing weird magic in the other room. And here is where it gets really fucking hilarious. I start searching the place for any clue to what he was on about. accidentally tip over a container of flammable material that sort of puffs up and goes into the fireplace, starting a fire on multiple places in the cabin. So there I am, in the middle of nowhere, trying to figure out if this old bloke is related to the troubles in the town and facing the prospect that I might loose any lead we have if the cabin burns down... So without water in sight, I do the only sensible thing I could think of in 20 seconds (because our gamemaster was adamant that if it's a pressed situation, the player should not have time to think) I take my knife, do a cut going from the belly up to the throat of the dead man and grab him by the ankles and start smacking the corpse at the flames, blood and guts spilling everywhere. His head even fell off.... I succeed at killing the fire... But now the entire fucking cabin looks like a bloodbath, me included. So after freaking out a second time, I decide I need to clean myself, to feel human again. So I head out front to a nearby river throw myself in the water. Wasing away, being generally traumatized but in the end confident I did what was necessary since this guy was EVIL, I know he was, I saw his magic. AND he is probably a necromancer that wanted me to kill him like that.
So while I was washing away, my entire party had meet up and decided to go check out the hermit in the woods that was know for being a bit crazy and eccentric. They get to the cabin, and go like "What in the actual fuck happened here?! Wolves? Werewolves?"
Oh and that evil looking magic... The guy was cooking, I fumbled my skillcheck for spying on him. :D I killed an innocent eccentric old man, set fire to his house and then beat the flames with his mutilated corpse. needless to say, we all had pain in our bellies from laughing so damn hard that evening. :)
This sounds amazing
Been a while since a video title alone made me laugh out loud. Good job Jared.
Man, why couldn't Projared have been a PC, and invited Brutalmoose? Then we could have had Peeb, Jerd, Ian, and Joof playing!
I remember when I was in high school some friends use to play this and I would laugh at them. But now that im all grown up I really enjoy listening to D&D stories :) plz make more!
Best tale you have told so far. I loved it.
Alright Jared im going to need you to explain that title
That's the point of the video you see
Hey Daniel
JackStar Master Whats up bro
inb4 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
King Daniel The Dandy a baby uhh W A N K E D
Running a 1 shot for New Years, I think I might steal this idea. Great story, Jared!
The monk better have yelled "Living like Larry" before getting on that ballista
These are absolutely excellent. You're really good at this! Thank you!
Probably my favorite D&Dcember tale yet!
Baby Toss is the best name if any video ever.
D&December makes me so happy, I’m grinning like a big loon at this story!!!
If they all did a d and d series together I would become the happiest man alive
I can just imagine yungtown in thieves clothes tossing a baby across a burning chasm to PBG in robes. It's awesome
I love the stories of D&D from other players, i remember one particular (the best story i have) happen to my friends, when they discovered a ring of wishes, then one of my friends how was a Ranger specialized with 2 weapons have an imperfect hand because he stole some money to a god church, long story short, the god (i do not remember well, i think it was Pelor), curse him with one ugly hand. Returning to the original story with the ring of the wishes (only 3 wishes have) , he found it and it wish "I want this hand become the same at this hand (his good right hand, by the way, he has 10 int)", the ring granted his wish and. .. TADAA! his left ugly hand become a perfectly and healthy right hand! ... with his thump and everything like that, so, he wish again "no! i wish my left hand be reversed" then the ring granted with an ugly hand again, he wishes again and last one "no!, i want to be a healthy idiot!" and then he become and idiot, like... 7 int, with and ugly hand again and lost his 3 wishes.
''Toss me... but don't tell the parents.'' - Baby Gimli
"So I caught it, right?" is about the most PBG quote imaginable.
I really look forward to these videos. The best.
I can't imagine good relations with the town from then on. Good thing it's a one-off!

It official, ProJared is the best dungeon master
Once quite recently, I was playing a campaign with 8 folks including the DM. It took place in a world that had shattered ten years prior and now it was only a bunch of floating islands above a portal to the abyss held up only by the force of will of the gods.
our party had escaped from a few jail cells in a dungeon after meeting an old NPC who was imprisoned with us. We outsmarted and out-snuck most of the goblins and hobgoblins we met until we reunited our party and went in to fight the final boss. To our suprise, the mastermind behind this demon cult was actually a priest we had met earlier, and he was about to sacrifice a girl on an altar. we beat up the hobgoblins around her and cut off the priest's escape and killed him too. That was actually a big mistake because it turns out that the sacrificial altar absorbed any errant souls in the room, and we had just killed 12 folks. A spined devil, buffed by the extra souls he absorbed, emerged from the portal/altar and we knew we were probably toast, but then our cleric remembered a vision he had had earlier of the island temple collapsing, and the temple foundations were right above our head. The minatoar barbarian and my character, a gnomish wizard, proceeded to hammer the ceiling while the halfling bard kept the devil cackling in the center of the room with Tasha's Hideous Laughter. The temple collapsed on the devil, carrying on through the floor and falling out the bottom of the island and into the abyss below. We all had a couple of seconds of respite before our cleric's patron announced that we had done well, but now the island had to be 'cleansed'. then the room started to crumble, and we all came to realise that if we didn't move quickly, the island would crumble underneath us and we'd be saying 'hi' to the spined devil down in the Nine Hells. that's when our sorcerer remembered that we'd left the old man back in his cell until it was safe for him to follow. "The old man!" he shouted as he ran back down the corridor we had come. well crap.
So the party quickly came up with a plan. four members would go up to the surface with the girl we'd rescued and three of us, including the minatoar, myself, and the sorcerer would run down and rescue the man. luckily I had cast jump on myself and the minatoar earlier so we were able to jump past a sizable gap that had appeared in the floor, the rock crumbled behind us though, so there was no going back that way, especially because jump expired and my wizard was all but out of spell slots. (I was saving one for feather fall on the off chance that we could slow-fall until the airship could pick us up.) We found the man, the barbarian hauled him over his shoulder, and we ran for a room that we hadn't visited before. luckily, it was another way out. we clambered out onto an open meadow whose eastern horizon was quickly disappearing, so we ran the other way. it was a back-breaking sprint for a hundred feet before we all jumped to land in safety on the 'pure' side of the island.
Anyway, that is the most drastic action I've ever taken to save a life in D&D.
I love you Jared. You made me have a lot of interest in D&D!!! Greetings from Argentina!
Probably the best tale I've heard.
I actually used this one-shot for me and my friends's Pathfinder game. It turned out really fun, and we made the dragon ohdahviing from Skyrim. One of our characters (a cleric specifically) managed to ONE-SHOT the dragon with a large ballista in the end!
I have had a bad day today and this video made me smile, keep it up!
I am absolutely loving this D&December!
I once walked into a completely blackened door (as in anything going past the door instantly disappears, including light) and ended up entering a wizard’s mind
Hey you and pbg should do a d and d hard core with the usall crew that would be fun and interesting I would think at least
You do realize death in D&D is permanent albeit for a few high-level spells?
A DnD hardcore? my concern is this... a DM wants to have a story to exist, so he will not be focused on trying to kill the players... granted, shit can happen and people could end up dead as a result, but it should never be the intent to kill off people. Now, a campaign in general? YES.
Robert Stegmann ya I know it would just be great to see my favorite UA-camrs play dungeons and dragons
I mean 5th level spells aren't really all that high. Go to a temple in any really large city and at least one priest will almost always be capable of casting it.
Boomburst I mean he doesn’t have to try to kill all of them
Why is it that I can perfectly envision PBG's face being like, "... So I caught it, right?"
HAHA! They had to have that look "You just can't give me this one man, come on it's a baby" lol
I have a Half-Orc Fighter/Thief in my current game, who is a leader of a small gang called the Nameless. He uses his pure brawn to augment his thief skills and keep his gang members in line (Battlemaster Maneuvers also work really well with a thief build) and as a result he was not an overly dextrous character. At one point, a very important NPC died in a way that would make resurrection next to impossible. The Paladin called upon his deity to aid us, but nothing happened, after a few minutes,
he petitioned ANY being powerful enough to aid us(beginning his path down the Oathbreaker Paladin/Warlock multiclass), and as a result a Demon appeared. As a price for restoring the life of the NPC and granting the Paladin new powers, the Demon demanded that one of the Paladins companions give up something important to them. Several of the players tried to offer material goods that they found very useful (an heirloom enchanted ring, a set of enchanted armor etc), but the Demon was not interested. At this point, my character stepped forward and offered his Strength. Cackling, the demon accepted, and sapped the strength of my character, permanently reducing his Strength stat from 18 to 8.
As a result, I've had to completely re-think how my character is built, and he slowly began to learn how to read and use magic, learning from the party Wizard (this resulted in my thief specialisation being Arcane Trickster, resulting in a Battlemaster/Arcane Trickster multiclass who could do a bit of everything). It's probably the most extreme thing I've ever done to save the life of another character.
We've never thrown any civilians in our D&D campaigns, but we did have a game session where we had to protect a tavern owner from swarms of flying insects summoned by some evil curse. We sealed him in the cellar of the tavern and proceeded to get our level one butts kicked by the bugs. By the time we were done with the last swarm, we were all very low on health (my 4th edition wizard didn't have much in the way of area effect spells), and we opened the cellar to find the tavern owner had passed out from fear. He was fine, and we recovered. The campaign was only a one shot though.
I am glad to hear that PB&Jeff and Yungtown have played D&D with Jared, I don't know the streamer at all >_>
I could easily visualize a wizard PBG being like "OHSHIT" and casting Magehand, then when the baby lands safely, he in-game says, "I caught it, right?"
"So, young person, what's your earliest memory?"
"Some guy airclapped above me while I was falling through fire and then I landed on a magical cushion!"
"...WHAT?"
Jared ur the best. I always look forward to this month because of you... oh and Christmas and family stuff of course
i once played as a chaotic neutral kobold who was pretty much brothers with another player, playing as a kenku. we were both rouges, but i used shortbows and the kenku used whips, and i'd hold onto the kenku's back... firing arrows left and right like a badass while my kenku brother used a whip and shield to strike nearby enemies, and we did a lot of desperate 'one-two' combos together to save each over's lives, but probably the most desperate was when my character rushed a lich with a DEAD GOBLIN CORPSE, and the kenku followed up with a dash towards our paladin, due to his injuries.
You're supposed to toss the baby into the lake, and then it retrieves a bottle of whiskey from the bottom for you.
I can so easily envision PBG saying "So I caught it, right?"
That mage hand deserves a high five.
I can just imagine pbg being like "so I caught it, right?"
these videos deserve more views
Great story. And great atmospheric music.
While DMing, I had a player who, moments after seeing their cleric die, changed their faith to worship Tiamat and got a pact made to revive their friend. It worked out... mostly.
Don't toss babies! And yay hurray for PBG for saving said baby!
Wow! That was a really great and enthralling story! I was worried I would get lost because I haven't played a tabletop rpg before and and seems complex, but I was still able to follow ...it also probably helped that PBG is a character! 😆
well that's a D&D series we need to see
You are so good at telling storys!
Stories*
Also yes he is. He's a pretty good DM for a reason.
Ah man, that freeing the griffon part sounded so wholesome. What a bummer, I am actually bummed now.
Never trust telepathic messages. Trust me, one too many encounters with Mind Flayers changes your outlook.
Man I really won’t ever forget that D and D game!!!
Love my comment
It's all fun and games until someone tosses a baby. Then it's an adventure.
This story helped me with making a campaign for my D&D game
Can't say I've gone that far yet, but I took a spear to the chest defending an abandoned village.
Don't worry, I'm okay now.
2:50
idk if it's cause I am drinking but it sounds almost hypnotizing when he says this
I know recognise the name Cheratomo. That is awesome.
Intoxicated adventurers usually end up causing major to cataclysmic destruction some how.
With a title like baby toss I just know someone was chaotic neutral and acted like Charlie from always sunny.
1:36 Good to see a fellow sorcerer player
he forreal just chucked a baby, left the life of a baby up to the purest of chance. amazing hahahahaha nice save tho
Anyone thought the title said baby boss? No, just me, well thanks for the confidence guys.
I dropkicked an ancient drake into a pit of lava and followed it in with a flying elbow.
