I personally hate "It was a dream all along" plots with a burning passion, because it makes me feel like the story and the author/GM cheated me. No stakes, no reward, *nothing.*
They released a new race recently, I think they're called the Kasathars or something like that? I'm not 100% sure I don't have the books with me right now. What I do remember is that they can't dream, so it makes sure you don't have to worry about such a plotline!
@@thechatteringclown Let me rephrase myself: I hate reading stories in which the final plot twist is that it was all just a dream. Not things I set up. Things the author set up. It feels cheap to me personally. The other point that annoys me are "Character X fell asleep/was hurt near the beginning of the show, so it must all be a fever dream as they recover" theories. They're already fictional stories, why cheapen them with making them imaginary stories within the fictional stories? Call me a man of no imagination if you wish, but if you talk down on my personal preference when it comes to story structure and tropes, then honestly that's just not very nice.
you know, I had a thought. If Otty Otterton is a resident of the dream world, then won't the party's perception and imagination of him potentially have an affect on his nature? What if they believe him to be the grand mastermind so much, he actually turns into the grand mastermind because of them?
I bet you that Bens table just had really good focus and flow. Like he was clearly really getting into it and when you do that the players really get into it and they pay attention and you don’t need to keep repeating things and they notice the clues and they think and come up with clever solutions. Taking the time to actually get into the game can really actually speed up how much you can get done.
As for world governments, you can set up your own settings and homebrew around a bit that way without actually changing or adding any rules per se. I'm currently building a world inspired by Frostpunk, in which a global ice age has descended and humans, elves, and the like only survive in sheltered cities protected from arctic storms by heat cores. Which I'm pretty sure doesn't exist in canon D&D, but if I can make it work I will. (And yes, I'm aware that there are spells that trivialise survival. That's why I'm amping up the danger of going outside a lot more than just Frostpunk level temperatures).
And yes its posibble to roll really high with all the modifiers. On Critical role the highest stealth roll was 43. i think, if i remember it correctly.
@@Airier Also maybe react to Critical Role? (If you do that I recommend starting with the second campaign! The first one is good but starts off a bit disorganized)
AirierGames After you’re caught up with Dingo’s stuff there’s a couple one-shots she did with Puffin Forest. While it’d be cool if you reacted to them I’d recommend just watching (more listening as it’s just audio) on your own time as each one-shot is two videos, each about three hours long

Is there any such thing as Satanpunk?
@@MasterZebulin There better be.
@@FonVegen It's too badass NOT to exist.
Watch his discussion on 4e, and you’ll understand.

if you want to learn DnD and you dont have anyone to play with you could try Roll20
Or you got friends but all your friends like like 30 miles aways and only have 3 hours in the middle of the night
NO! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'M GOING TO MISS THIS BECAUSE OF WORK!!!!
Why do the RNG Gods hate me so???????
It's because you call them RNG gods instead of RNGsus
@@sebastian-ue4vm Thanks man. I needed that laugh!
I would totally play with you but I'm in Oregon way farther than 2hours
It is possible to roll into th 30s with good stats and expertise to double your proficiency bonus.
Watching years later and realizing this is preplague lol
Roll20 always has games going on. Plus if you ever ran a game Im certain you could find plenty of fans willing to join you.

You ever going to do dingo doodles?
