I never cried to a Hollywood movie since the 90's where i was born, this story made me Ugly cry, 10/10 would cry to this again, and yes i want this fucking movie for DND
Oogie is the best Dwarf to have ever been a crafty-smith... Oogie the ogre is the one D&D story that has made me, a 20yo security guard that doesn't even cry when cutting onions cry...
All to often you hear stories of funny stuff and bad DMs. This though, is the story of a DM that did everything right. This is an NPC that is the essence of what a great NPC should be. They are not perfect, fetish fuel or even the DMs idea. They are a spur of the moment thing that lasts whole game sessions.And sticks with the players for years. These are the kind of things that become house cannon. In all settings of your games. And this is why D&D is a game loved by millions.
@@Helman114 Let's just say some DM's put some.... THINGS... in their games based on their.... personal proclivities and tastes. I have yet to see a RPG story where that didn't end up horribly. The Tale of Old Man Henderson, for all the focus put on the revenge of the player on the Game Master... A throwaway comment in the narration by Henderson's player basically revealed that the Game Master he clobbered through Henderson was of this sort. One of the things that got Waffle House Millionaire's previous characters killed was disagreeing with the GM's NPC which was described as "Fetish Fuel Character" and "Dual Twin Katana Weilder". Yeah. It's never pretty.
I am fully prepared to admit that I cried several times during this. Even as someone hearing this story repeated, I felt for the players. I think Cloak's voice nearly cracked a few times during the video too. Oohgie is the only real dwarf.
i heard it multiple times, as well as the audio being cut, and sewn together, he most certainly cried at least once and couldnt go through the whole story w/out cracking at least once... this is like the fifth time i’ve heard this story, and i remembered like90% of it.. but i still blubbered like a baby at the end
Fuck dude, almost a year later I watched this again. I'm at work fucking dripping tears on the invoices I'm coding. This might just be my favorite story ever
To think a story about a silly ol’ Ogre who wanted to be a blacksmith would make me cry, and I’m not a very emotional dude. Now this was a good listen.
Oohgie the honorary Dwarf items Belt of dwarven kind Your Strength score increases by 2, to a maximum of 20. You have advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to interact with dwarves. In addition, while attuned to the belt, you have a 50 percent chance each day at dawn of growing a full beard if you're capable of growing one, or a visibly thicker beard if you already have one. If you aren't a dwarf, you gain the following additional benefits while wearing the belt: You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage. You have darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. You can speak, read, and write Dwarvish. Dwarven forging hammer When using this hammer to create a weapon, armor, tool, or anything else with metalwork, a forge is not required. When using this hammer in battle, it deals 2d6 bludgeoning damage and 1d10 fire damage. Hammer is two handed. Proficiency with a warhammer allows you to add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll for any attack you make with it. Boots of firewalking These low-cut shoes of polished red leather feature golden eyelets and stitching in a fiery pattern. They grant the wearer fire resistance 10 and allow the wearer to walk atop lava and magma as if subject to the water walk spell Gauntlets of the Weaponmaster These gauntlets come in a variety of forms. Some are mostly leather with small steel plates, and are suited for fine swordplay. Others are fully articulated plate favored by knights in full plate. On command, the wearer of the gauntlet can store a single weapon he is holding in the gauntlets. When he does so, a graven image of the weapon appears on the gauntlet's plates. The wearer can store up to 10 weapons in the gauntlets in this manner. Retrieving a weapon requires the wearer to touch the image of the weapon he wants. Doing so is a swift action. When a weapon is retrieved, it appears in the hands of the wearer and any weapons the wearer had in his hands is stored in the gauntlets. If there is no room in the gauntlet for the weapons the wearer is holding, those weapons are dropped. The gauntlets can only store weapons; other items cannot be placed in the gauntlet.
Makes me want to play a party that doesn’t have a healer. The fear of losing someone is actually real, there’s no buffer of “I can just cast cure wounds”, you only have potions and any spells you can possibly learn. This is what I crave in DnD; a truly memorable character.
Oohgie's tale has made me cry for the first time in 3 years. I know Oohgie is still swinging that hammer making the best slapdash armor in existence. Keep Hammering Big Guy.
You also need to be prepared to throw ideas you had away. I've had stuff like a beholder i was planning on making my players fight in order to secure an area for their base end up being the person who kept the town that sprang up running while they were gone.
It's stories like this that makes me want to learn how to play D&D. Like it was said in the story, I know Oohgie is just a figment of imagination, but this tale had me choking up. Being emotional made this all the more compelling for me. Thank you for sharing this. Subscribed.
As useful and incredibly accurate as this comment is. That would lead this story to the ending of: "We resurrected him, and he continued along his journey to become a dwarf. Something that may or may not ever actually happen." Resurrection's a weird one. Because in the moment, it feels better than losing a friend. The fear of losing something you love has been nullified, and nothing has to change. But in the long run, something special may have been lost, because it never had the opportunity to occur. I don't hate resurrection magic, not at all, but having every answer to every question turns D&D into a glorified session of call and response, rather than an epic tale of hard-fought victories, bitter defeats, and overcoming a number of hardships with a group of friends.
Reincarnate, in particular, wouldn't have just been a resurrection spell... He could have actually become a dwarf as part of it! Would have been a really cool ending for him to be resurrected as a dwarf. www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/reincarnate.htm
@@AnthonyAgresta Huh... I guess I've never fully read that spell description. That's an interesting one. I think I still prefer Oohgie's 'canon' story ending, but that's just personal preference. Reincarnate holds some possibilities I hadn't realized before. Thanks for the heads up, I may just utilize that info some day.
I literally balled my eyes out listening to this story. "Me go to sleep now" Is the saddest shit.... coupled with the tears of joy with the reunion at the end. Oohgie will definitely be cannon in any story I DM as bittersweet legend mothers would tell to their dwarfish children at bedtime. "Oohgie, the craftysmith that could."
I am a new DM in 5e and have always wanted to make up good story. Top of my list now is to make a character some day that lives in the hearts of others like the worlds best Crafty Smith Oohgie
I 100% APPROVE of Lucas (and I am amused at the DM's surprise that "Oh... I hadn't prepared a non-murder hobo option, but I'm willing to roll with it.. one sec guys" ::brainstorms quickly because #ROLEPLAY-Should-Be-Rewarded:: I tip my hat to the DM) (Don't read the rest of my comment until you get to the end of the video, SERIOUSLY ) also, this story made me think fondly of the the Blacksmith Giant in Darksouls (current time: 23:09 i admit the feels-train has slammed into station HARD and i'm teary eyed (good rp is fucking awesome and the Narrator's delivery plays on those heart strings HARD, damn fine job sir) and then "That Guy" has a heart that grew 3 sizes that day, with a pocket full of Deamons "I need a favor, and I need it now."

DAMN, this story hits Harder than the opening sequence of Ori and the Blind Forest, and it is ONLY WORDS.
I think I'm going to make a character that's going to be a follower of Moradin and a huge fan of "The Legend of Oogie." Much like Oogie, he won't be dwarvish, he'll be of Good Alignment, and also be a quest to become an apprentice along side Oogie.
I have a shit life don't really talk to any of my 4 brothers & have lived off of government assistance for most of my life for many reasons. Yet every time I hear this story I cry worse then the day I realized I would never be able to have a meaningful relationship with my mother. Thank you to your entire party for making this story & sharing it. Edit:I'm adding the legendary Oohgie crafty-smith & appreciate of Moradin to all of my future games.
I didn't cry when my father left I didn't cry when he came back then later cheated on my mom but this.... I know is not real but this made me tear up I would love to find a DM who has the patience to deal with a noob and create a world with as good story telling as this guy he deserves an actual statue of that wonderful creature and an animation as well please tell that DM he's howesome
I wondered if the DM was going to pull a "and then the ogre leveled up, and took a level in paladin, and used lay on hands. It was the clumsiest spellcasting of the year, but he did get two hit points he needed out of it".
There are very few things that make or have made me cry. The final mission in Ace Combat: Zero, soldiers being united with their dogs, when Leonard Cohen passed away... and now this. Thank you for such an amazing tale.
Ooghie's masterpiece "Ooghie's Embrace" This chest armor made of scraps of metal forged by big, loving and clumsy hands offers inferior defense, can be equiped by any class and is uglier than misery itself made for a beloved friend of Ooghie the Crafty-smith of legends part of a set crafted by Ooghie long ago, has two passive habilities, grants a 50% attack bonus against deities and the effect decreases after each blow remaining in 10% during the rest of the encounter, the second passive hability is called "Ooghie's wish" this hability activates when the health reaches 0, when this happens the armor breaks and all remaining durability is coverted in to health multiplied by 1.5 times it's single use and the armor breaks beyond repair after use.
if only there was a love button, I would press that for this only. Best UA-cam video ever! I am not a touchy feely guy, but this made me cry. : ) I loved this so much, made me cry of joy and sadness, first UA-cam video like this I've seen, subbed halfway through.
I have been playing D&D for over a decade. I have played so many different games, with so many different DM's, and so many different characters. I have seen groups come and go. I have had characters that I connected with deeply, and characters I couldn't wait to be rid of. This grandest of ogres made me cry. I am a grown man, a navy veteran, a father, and hardened by poverty. I'm crying. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.
This is just so pure. I wasn't even part of this game and this story made me cry. And I don't cry often. So well done to the DM who created Oogie, the honorary Dwarf
I imagine the Dwarven God started out disgusted of the ogre trying to be a dwarf and in the end being like '' well nope I was wrong let's make him one of us''
Stories like these are why I love tabletop rpg's. What was originally meant to be a typical encounter, ended up being a beloved companion that made players and characters alike cry
How _dare_ you make me cry?! This story is so dang emotional and beautiful and just, how _dare_ you?! Legit, this is the kind of game I hope to one day be able to run. Something that can inspire so much feeling towards characters, npc or otherwise. I'm jealous.
I teared up but not cried I haven't been able to for 5 years I'm glad I felt happy for this story don't put yourself down to much though your still human even if your a little different Just like ooghie you are still with your still a person even if you are different
@@cheeseyboy2121 It was more so a joke about how I haven't cried in years since I'm much more emotionally stable now than I was when I was a kid, but thank you, regardless. To be clear, I now typically use more complex lines of reasoning to dictate my emotional responses, where I once was misguided by emotional platitudes. I don't regret this.
I know this is a story of a bunch of adults sitting around rolling dice and playing make-believe but it just about ripped my heart out. Great job by the DM and players with Oohgie.
You made me cry in my scotch... Most of the time that alone is worthy of destruction. But you my esteemed loremaster and storyteller... You alone can move me to tears anytime. If anyone can become a lore god, it is you my friend. Keep up the stories and pulling at heartstrings. Yet again I owe you another drink. Praise be unto Oohgie.
I shall ask my DM to include this special little ray of sunshine into our campaign. Oohgie is worthy of everything. He is a true paladin, blacksmith, and friend. May he exist forever more in eternal bliss, happily clanging away at his magic anvil. This is a great story to fall asleep to at night. Long reign Oohgie, the crafty-smith of the forge, and honorary dwarf.
20:12 Why does this part sound like Oohgie really just walked in outta nowhere and got three high rolls against a god during each clang? (watches a few seconds afterwards) I'm surprised by my above hypothesis being true... The hulk ain't got nothing on Oohghie. Call this man the Oohlk.
Cloak and Dagger, wherever you get these stories whether they are stories you heard or were apart of. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these stories, they may be small but they are the most badass stories you can tell.
The only time I've ever had to put my work down and just cry while listening to DnD stories. My bf has been playing the same half-orc character for 20 years and all I can see is him while listening to this. Bravo to the DM for excellent gameplay and well-done Oogie. You've truely earned your place in your celestial home
I was playing Factorio, (no sound, just this UA-cam vid.) I had to pause during the last 10 minutes, hiding my face in my hands, breathing heavily so as not to shed tears... or trying to... It's been maybe 45 minutes now since the video stopped and i'm able to see what i'm writing... Had to wipe a lot of tears away... Gorgeous story! Respect to the GM/DM for their ability to make a fantastic story for you guys to evolve and and make into something that can be told for years.
this is a good story but...stupid ghosts are cutting onions infront of me. no, im not crying, shut up. now excuse me, i need to go not-cry somewhere else.
I love the story of a boss who the dm didn't even think would be able to speak before killed became gods apprentice. This story went from him being a boss for goblins to annoying for lvs and ores to the saving destruction for them to kill a god
this genuinely brought me to tears. thank you for sharing this wonderful story about a true man who never did exist in our world. but shall forever exist in the hearts of others. and who's story shall never be forgotten.
i was told that this was a story that will tear at your heartstrings like nothing else, i was expecting a dwarf that ends up sacrificing himself, but no i got something so much more, i am a man that holds back every sad emotion without even trying, i unfortunately wasn't able to show it with tears but this has broken me and i love oohgie, i want nothing more then to see that big old goofy grin of his while he hammers away, i will never forget you oohgie, i love you
VERY few things have made me cry as of the last few years, dogs lika Hachiko have done it, and a very select few events in life but damn if i did not shed a few precious tears for Oohgie, the craftismith we never deserved.
Ogres have two things in common with onions. Layers and the ability to make you cry.

You should! I highly recommend taking a look around r/LFG and seeing if anyone is putting together an online game you can join in on.
+Cloak and Dagger What to do when you dont have friends to play with?
Like I said, look around on places like Roll20 or r/LFG on reddit. They're great for finding groups if you don't have one already.
You could also try looking on roll20, a good online tabletop game service that also has a looking for group
Roll20 is great for running games, but I can't stand the built-in LFG system.

I have a shit life don't really talk to any of my 4 brothers & have lived off of government assistance for most of my life for many reasons. Yet every time I hear this story I cry worse then the day I realized I would never be able to have a meaningful relationship with my mother. Thank you to your entire party for making this story & sharing it.
Edit:I'm adding the legendary Oohgie crafty-smith & appreciate of Moradin to all of my future games.
"Forged for the soul!"
Was very sad story. Oohgie best NPC.
Oh god, this ending is way too wholesome. Now i want to go outside and play with a doggo.
someone please animate this
bump
I would watch the crap out of that.
omni-king zeno Or at least story board it.
Seconded. Or possibly a series of voiced 5 minute snippets that follow this campaign to the end.
PETER JACKSON! WE HAVE YOUR NEXT THREE PART MOVIE SERIES!
Well I just spent twenty minutes with tears streaking down my face, that was beautiful.
I didn't cry when my father left I didn't cry when he came back then later cheated on my mom but this.... I know is not real but this made me tear up I would love to find a DM who has the patience to deal with a noob and create a world with as good story telling as this guy he deserves an actual statue of that wonderful creature and an animation as well please tell that DM he's howesome
I wondered if the DM was going to pull a "and then the ogre leveled up, and took a level in paladin, and used lay on hands. It was the clumsiest spellcasting of the year, but he did get two hit points he needed out of it".
There are very few things that make or have made me cry. The final mission in Ace Combat: Zero, soldiers being united with their dogs, when Leonard Cohen passed away... and now this. Thank you for such an amazing tale.
You had my heart by the balls when he encountered the Blacksmith hall. god damn this story.
Ooghie's masterpiece
"Ooghie's Embrace"
This chest armor made of scraps of metal forged by big, loving and clumsy hands offers inferior defense, can be equiped by any class and is uglier than misery itself made for a beloved friend of Ooghie the Crafty-smith of legends part of a set crafted by Ooghie long ago, has two passive habilities, grants a 50% attack bonus against deities and the effect decreases after each blow remaining in 10% during the rest of the encounter, the second passive hability is called "Ooghie's wish" this hability activates when the health reaches 0, when this happens the armor breaks and all remaining durability is coverted in to health multiplied by 1.5 times it's single use and the armor breaks beyond repair after use.
if only there was a love button, I would press that for this only. Best UA-cam video ever! I am not a touchy feely guy, but this made me cry. : ) I loved this so much, made me cry of joy and sadness, first UA-cam video like this I've seen, subbed halfway through.
I have been playing D&D for over a decade. I have played so many different games, with so many different DM's, and so many different characters. I have seen groups come and go. I have had characters that I connected with deeply, and characters I couldn't wait to be rid of.
This grandest of ogres made me cry. I am a grown man, a navy veteran, a father, and hardened by poverty.
I'm crying. And I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I was sobbing and I'm a war vet as well, amazing story telling. I haven't cried hat hard over a story since rue died in hunger games.
Is it normal to sweat out of my eyes ?
PRAISE BE OOGHIE! (crys like a little baby because the feels hit hard)
Oogie you're the greatest drawf to exist. I scared my boyfriend because I was basically sobbing.
I want to give Oohgie a hug so much.
This is just so pure. I wasn't even part of this game and this story made me cry. And I don't cry often. So well done to the DM who created Oogie, the honorary Dwarf
OOF MY HEART. MY SOUL. I cant just even. *Sobs violently* He is so precious.
Oohgie will live in our hears
and our hammers
I imagine the Dwarven God started out disgusted of the ogre trying to be a dwarf and in the end being like '' well nope I was wrong let's make him one of us''
Stories like these are why I love tabletop rpg's. What was originally meant to be a typical encounter, ended up being a beloved companion that made players and characters alike cry
How _dare_ you make me cry?! This story is so dang emotional and beautiful and just, how _dare_ you?!
Legit, this is the kind of game I hope to one day be able to run. Something that can inspire so much feeling towards characters, npc or otherwise. I'm jealous.
Man. My ability to cry has long since left me. Great story. If I were still human, I would be tearing up right now.
I teared up but not cried I haven't been able to for 5 years I'm glad I felt happy for this story don't put yourself down to much though your still human even if your a little different
Just like ooghie you are still with your still a person even if you are different
@@cheeseyboy2121
It was more so a joke about how I haven't cried in years since I'm much more emotionally stable now than I was when I was a kid, but thank you, regardless. To be clear, I now typically use more complex lines of reasoning to dictate my emotional responses, where I once was misguided by emotional platitudes. I don't regret this.
Oh, my feels. This is why I love D&D. A nobody NPC can become a cornerstone of the story.
This genuinely moved me. The emotion in your voice made me tear up and have to hold back tears from just flowing while at work.
Thank you for this.
Words can't describe how beautiful this story is. Oohgie, truly God/DM's greatest gift to your campaign.
You are one great story teller. Thank you for all your time you put into this.....
Every D&D player should hear this story.....
I know this is a story of a bunch of adults sitting around rolling dice and playing make-believe but it just about ripped my heart out. Great job by the DM and players with Oohgie.
You made me cry in my scotch... Most of the time that alone is worthy of destruction. But you my esteemed loremaster and storyteller... You alone can move me to tears anytime. If anyone can become a lore god, it is you my friend. Keep up the stories and pulling at heartstrings. Yet again I owe you another drink. Praise be unto Oohgie.
Literally the best d&d story I've ever heard, this will be my new page to hear stories hands down
that is legit one of the most heartwarming stories i have ever heard and it came from dnd i am so happy to be alive
I shall ask my DM to include this special little ray of sunshine into our campaign. Oohgie is worthy of everything. He is a true paladin, blacksmith, and friend. May he exist forever more in eternal bliss, happily clanging away at his magic anvil. This is a great story to fall asleep to at night. Long reign Oohgie, the crafty-smith of the forge, and honorary dwarf.
20:12 Why does this part sound like Oohgie really just walked in outta nowhere and got three high rolls against a god during each clang?
(watches a few seconds afterwards)
I'm surprised by my above hypothesis being true...
The hulk ain't got nothing on Oohghie. Call this man the Oohlk.
Cloak and Dagger, wherever you get these stories whether they are stories you heard or were apart of. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for these stories, they may be small but they are the most badass stories you can tell.
this is, I think, the best telling of this story and I return to it sometimes. thank you for it.
That is the most heart wrenching story I've ever heard, it's amazing, i hope he becomes even better of a blacksmith
The only time I've ever had to put my work down and just cry while listening to DnD stories. My bf has been playing the same half-orc character for 20 years and all I can see is him while listening to this. Bravo to the DM for excellent gameplay and well-done Oogie. You've truely earned your place in your celestial home
it doesn't matter how many times i've listened to this story, it never fails to make me tear up and cry, i love Oohgie
I was playing Factorio, (no sound, just this UA-cam vid.) I had to pause during the last 10 minutes, hiding my face in my hands, breathing heavily so as not to shed tears... or trying to... It's been maybe 45 minutes now since the video stopped and i'm able to see what i'm writing...
Had to wipe a lot of tears away...
Gorgeous story!
Respect to the GM/DM for their ability to make a fantastic story for you guys to evolve and and make into something that can be told for years.
THE FEELS, THEY BURN.
this is a good story but...stupid ghosts are cutting onions infront of me.
no, im not crying, shut up.
now excuse me, i need to go not-cry somewhere else.
bit more than 2 years later this story still making people cry
and so do i
In all my years on UA-cam , playing d&d, everything. I have never cried. That is until this video where I have cried for a solid 8 minutes.
Genuinely cried

This is what dnd is about, heart felt stories.
The way you were clearly on the edge of tears through reading this…though acting or honest feeling, it made the story so much better.
This needs to become a MOVIE... and the AFTER Credit scene is where the half-elven Ranger goes to Oohgie!
I love the story of a boss who the dm didn't even think would be able to speak before killed became gods apprentice. This story went from him being a boss for goblins to annoying for lvs and ores to the saving destruction for them to kill a god
this genuinely brought me to tears. thank you for sharing this wonderful story about a true man who never did exist in our world. but shall forever exist in the hearts of others. and who's story shall never be forgotten.
i was told that this was a story that will tear at your heartstrings like nothing else, i was expecting a dwarf that ends up sacrificing himself, but no i got something so much more, i am a man that holds back every sad emotion without even trying, i unfortunately wasn't able to show it with tears but this has broken me and i love oohgie, i want nothing more then to see that big old goofy grin of his while he hammers away, i will never forget you oohgie, i love you
I cried twice, at his death and then at the statue and almost another time when gloves came again. Damn it was good to have tears again
The best honorary dwarf in the land.
I loved this so much that i added Oohgie to my game as a hero he has made my game much more interesting!
Wow, Was not expecting that. One of the best D and D stories I have ever heard. Thank you
No matter how many times I listen... I always cry.
This story never fails to make me bawl my eyes out.
second time watching this and I think I cried more this time then the last. you did a fine job at telling this man a fine job.
Dont be ashamed those are man tears
Oh my... I have waterfalls forming form my eyes.
Sounded like our reader was about to cry at the end too.
I have not been there, but this genuinely made me cry. Really touching story, and well told, too.
No matter how many times i read this story, i always cry. Goddamn it i just love oohgie so much.
Playing ESO, farming chests, while listening to this as background sound. made me tear up.. good episode.
Damn it, I am even crying.
Sometimes it’s the imaginary or fictional characters we can relate to.
This one is the best out of all of them by far! Made me cry
Oohgie... if ever I need to make a blacksmith character in a fantasy setting. I think I'll give him that name. 😭
VERY few things have made me cry as of the last few years, dogs lika Hachiko have done it, and a very select few events in life but damn if i did not shed a few precious tears for Oohgie, the craftismith we never deserved.
