i would happy send a friend intot hat as well *and i dont care if i got to fucking steel several trucsk to do it then chuck him ducktaped into a hogtie for it just to leave himt here for moth based snu snu.
The reason Frodo would still be corrupted by the ring is that whenever you try to throw it in the volcano, according to the books, it uses it's maximum power to corrupt you specifically and you're not able to throw it in lava willingly, they were actually lucky golum took the ring from Frodo and tripped onto the lava, otherwise they were doomed.
Yep. For all that Elrond is embittered over Isildur failing to throw the Ring into the volcano, he wouldn't have been able to do it either, if he'd been the one holding the Ring in that chamber.
@@martenkahr3365 Actually, in the books the scene where Elrond screams "Isildor!" doesn't exist, and he isn't bitter or arrogant like in the movies, the only thing he does is analize humans who enter his city bc he can't use his astral vision to differenciate the corrupted humans from the regular ones. Also, they didn't even try to throw the ring in the volcano in the books, everyone thought that since Sauron "died" the ring was ok to use, what they didn't know is that Sauron was a lich and would come back, and the ring was still corrupting everyone
The chicken might work by that logic, scare it into falling off while avoiding the ring yourself, not easy but more doable than doing a 1v1 against the ring's will power after months of it wearing you down. Of course considering the most basic power the ring bestows is invisibility, the chicken would likely have escaped and run to its master long before that point.
@@timothycarney9652 I don't think a chicken would be dumb enough to jump into lava while trying to escape Frodo and Sam instead of just circling around them, but yeah, maybe
@@HiatoPDSS Or you could just Throw it into the lava, or kick it off ect. In general the more people you have when you finally get to mt. Doom the more likely you can get the ring into the lava with minimum casualties, having someone disposable just simplifies things. It does make Sauron's preparations make more sense if an individual can get easily overwhelmed by the ring, and the larger groups would have much more trouble getting there unnoticed. If the whole fellowship made it, they could physically restrain anyone, and finangle a way to get it into the lava- knocking it out of someone's hands when they are falling to temptation comes to mind.
The problem with 8 combats a day isn't doing it in a single session, it's the pacing of the story, sometimes you can't just stick 8 combats in a row because there is absolutely no reason why it'd happen.
It works if you’re doing a dungeon crawl, but if you don’t play D&D as a dungeon crawl most of the time then yeah you’re practically never getting those eight combats.
Encounters =/= combats. Running into a merchant who wants to haggle is an encounter. Having to infiltrate the noble's ball is an encounter. Interrogating a hostage is an encounter.
10:44 The better question to ask is "Why would I let you roll Acrobatics for a jump when the rules specifically state that it should be an Athletics check?"
Honestly all of Critical Role are god tier players, but Travis is certainly a step above. Just his anti-metagame approach is so refreshing to see in action. Not even mentioning his characters meshing so well with the others, its magical.
@@levinseve3471 - he's not anti-metagame though. He metagames the shit out of Matt's games, but he does it for the benefit of the other players and the story, and THAT is what makes all the difference.
My only exposure to D&D before the campaign I'm currently a part of was Critical Role campaign 2. So I make references to it sometimes, for example to explain why I think a certain rule works a certain way/ how a certain thing can be used etc. The other players sometimes joke about me fawning over Matt Mercer. And my answer is always "Hey, as long as I'm not Laura Bailey, I couldn't possibly expect the DM to be Matt Mercer. I'm referencing CR because it's all I know." I don't think the Mercer effect is all bad - he is an example to DMs who want to be more like him, even a little bit. It's just not fair to expect that of a person. And yes Travis is fucking amazing.
The new OGL (open game license) is just an extremely restrictive contract that forces you to do a bunch of things you don't want to, allows the company to sell your creations without paying you and revoke your right to sell it yourself. And nothing in this document is permanent as they have reserved the right to change the entire contents, giving you 30 days to pull all your products from the market if you don't agree with it, while the company can still sell it themselves giving all the profits to D&D/WotC/Hasbro and none to the original creators.
And disney would have nuked it... if they weren't given a special treatment in form of a special license agreement that saves them from this. Basically prefertial treatment to assure the one company who would want them dead for the changes let them live
@Bram Lastname yeah; This whole OGL thing has pretty much turn me off. From DnD which is kinda sad. I remember from a post on another channel somewhere on youtube. Some one suggested that WoTC hire on 3rd party creators or something to that degree. This is something, I wish WoTC and a lot of companies did specially for some franchises. Like how Saga Did for their Sonic games. I think if companies did more stuff like this; We would have great if not awesome games. Kinda wish folks would understand the buff of having fans of something join in on the creation of a game. I know not everything has to be put in but like. Make polls and shit on top most voted content wanting in the next game or something like that.
@@JackIntoGaming4721 I recently saw a video about the Bloons franchise (Mostly known for their tower defence games) And how their most popular products were the ones that allowed the fanbase to add their own twist to it. Whether it is through actual custom content Or just sending memes to the creators. Every time they added something that players didn't like, Ninja Kiwi changed it accordingly And in most cases generated hype when the previously hated content got adapted into the newest instalment because of it. This is something that is easy to do in D&D and not even unprecedented, But this new OGL not only kills off that possibility for OneDnD, but also for 5e and all other first party editions As with the restrictions of the OGL there's no point to making good content for D&D, because WotC will just steal it without crediting And other games aren't allowed to use it, Because you gave WotC permission to sue people over this. There's legitimately no benefit to playing OneD&D if things don't change soon.
5:11 ah yes, the lesser known but mighty powerful En Passant, very situational Goblin build, but if you know your players well enough it can teach them a valuable combat lesson about caution.
@@lukenator115 Its En Passant, a very obscure chess move, if you move your pawn 2 spaces (when it hasnt moved yet), and that would put it right beside an enemy pawn, the enemy pawn may move itself behind your pawn and capture it as if your pawn only moved one space.
@@blazichaos7181 Oh wow that move is so obscure even I didn't know it. Thank you for your explanation, I thought I was just failing to identify which token was which piece
the ring has free will... and have you seen how hard it is to capture a live chicken? now imagine sauron controlling the fears of an agile smal bird carrying THE RING
1:03 Ah, those kind of cultures. Classic Anime Plot. And maybe Star Trek Plot. 2:29 They haven't done anything yet. There was a leak of a new version of the OGL - which also overrides the existing OGL - to basically make any commercial use of the OGL material impossible. 5:15 It is always fun to see more Overly Sarcastic Material being used in memes. 7:00 This scene was all about a false equivalency by Scarlet Witch. She literally compared: - turning back time to save the world - murdering a innocent girl and dozens across reality for multiverse hopping powers 9:10 That could be comicbook Deadpool. He is a Love Triangle, where both he and Thanatos want Lady Death. But this might also be the story of the Anime "KonoSuba". With a failed Isekai Protagonist. He is dying and flirting with death a lot.
Trying to run 6-8 combat encounters in each adventuring day is only a good thing when the players are actively seeking out those encounters, like in a dungeon. 6-8 encounters every single day while *traveling* will kill the pacing of your game and make several session in a row all about the combat while your party painstakingly spends as much time fighting out of game as they do traveling in game.
If you have trouble grasping the concept of a single day spread over multiple sessions, the Dresden Files books operate pretty much on this premise. Each book takes place over no more than a day or two, a week at most. Each book is a self-contained adventure in an episodic campaign. There's months of in-universe time between volumes.
I could be wrong, but I think they're talking about an old rule from 1ed where each session lasts a single day, and all the time between sessions happens in real time. IIRC, the rule is trying to make a comeback, despite it being absurd, especially if you leave off in the middle of a forest or dungeon.
@@whiterabbit75 You are talking about a rule used in West Marches campaign setting, which is basically a sandbox MMO-style D&D campaign. This rule states that outside of a session, time in the campaign world passes at the same rate as time in the real world. This was used to synchronize all of the various player groups adventuring in the same shared world. There were a few more rules around this: - each action in a dungeon, such as searching for secret doors, or a combat, was assumed to take 10 minutes; this included everything around that activity, such as resting, taking stock of loot, etc. - a dungeon expedition was suggested to always equal 1 week, so there were no issues with players being out of sync - players explored the world map at a rate of 1 move per in-game day Source: ua-cam.com/video/IztaTaMl-fk/v-deo.html
5:15 I never expected a dnd meme to use a picture from Overly Sarcastic Productions nor it be the thumbnail of a video but I'm all for it because Red's art style is amazing.
Wanda and dr strange " you make money playing my game and are the only reason new people want to play, thus alowing us to florish, i go out of my way to punish small time creators and demand money from you... that doesn't seem fair"
Definitely look into the OGL stuff... Because it effects your videos too. You are making 3rd party D&D content. It doesn't matter that it's not something for the table itself. You would have to apply for the license, pay them if you make over a certain amount from it, and at any time they could decide they don't like something you've said about them, cancel your ability to make more D&D related content, and claim ownership of all your videos to use however they wish to. Also, they can change the deal at any time with only a 30 day notice. This isn't the final version, of course. This intentional info leak was meant to be too extreme so people will accept whatever they put out instead that isn't quite as bad. Also, it's pretty clear why they're doing this. They want to remove Pathfinder. Since Pathfinder was founded using D&D's OGL, this would allow them to try to do that... (except that Pathfinder is free and it's impossible to actually remove anything from the internet once it's been here, so they can't succeed, but they might manage to stop updates to Pathfinder, at most.) So far, this has resulted in 3rd party D&D creators announcing at least two more systems that don't use the OGL though (Kobold Press being one of them, who was previously one of the biggest sources of 3rd party D&D content (like modules & stuff), and the other is Matt Colville, who's associated with Critical Role, which is one of the biggest sources of advertising for D&D's current system). This is just from how insulting the _threat_ of what WotC leaked is, without even seeing what the real final version is going to look like. They've already caused great harm to their own IP. This actually threatens Disney too, since there are Star Wars video games that use the OGL for some of their internal mechanics, which would allow WotC to claim ownership over anything used in those games... Like Jedi... So the moment WotC tries to enforce the new OGL, they'd get legally stomped by Disney's legal team. Also, don't sign anything. If you don't sign up for the new license, any court should rule that your content falls under the original OGL, not the new one, especially after they eventually clash with Disney.
Except that because those games were released under the old OGL those terms are what applies. Hell even the we can change this with 30 days notice and you have to pull your content or agree is almost certainly unenforcable. They fucked up, they knew it would fuck them and went ahead anyway. Now they get to lose decades of good will from being cool about it.
7:53 Ok, so from now on, every single one of my characters is going to have something related to quilts happen to them, all because of this flub (from quilting as part of their non-adventuring shenanigans, owning a quilt as part of a backstory, wanting above all else to find a specific addition for a quilt, legendary quilt item, etc)
OGL means DnD is going to be abandoned by content creators who cannot afford to talk about it.create stuff for it anymore due to absolute fuckery Hasbro is trying to pull off. 25% of the revenue - not income, REVENUE - goes to them if you get above a certain sum, they own what you create and can make their own release of your content and pay you nothing, and can at any point in time change the conditions giving you 30 days of notice. There is more, you 100% should read about it, it is just horrifying. And also, the document that leaked - which could be intensional leak - contains a paragraph which states that they are sure there will be a whiplash, and after it happens they will admit they 'saw their mistake' and propose another document. So what we are getting now is not the final decision, but this is a manipulation tactic. If you were told someone is gonna cut off your arm and then they would change their mind and decide they are only taking your 3 fingers, you'd say 'great!' while ignoring the fact YOU ARE STILL LOOSING FINGERS. I love DnD which is why it's so heartbreaking to watch.
Less of a meme and more of a fun question to anyone who plays a Barbarian. When you role-play their rage, do you role-play it as the default "pure anger" kind of rage? or do you do something different? I'm interested in hearing on unique role-play versions for a rage. I have this idea for a great-sword wielding Barbarian who is always well mannered, polite and mostly gives off this "knight" aesthetic rather then a wild barbarian air. (secretly a vampire) in his Rage he will instead go completely silent, he won't talk or make a single verbal sound while his muscles all tense up and he seemingly starts staring through his enemies. As if he just mentally stopped viewing them as living beings and embraces his vampire nature (stops acting like he needs to breath, so he makes no sound aside from the attacks of his sword of the movements of his body) A cold, blood lust driven rage. Share your unique rage role-play moments/ideas!
I have the concept of a character who sometimes pretends to have an overly exaggerated personality and ego, when he does that in combat, that is his rage, he would often make over exaggerated attacks.
I had a similar idea, but I called it "Focus." Instead of unbridled murderous passion, it was a cold, calculated, empty approach where they stopped thinking entirely and relied completely on their skill and reflexes. This was a long time ago and before the comparison I'm about to make, but I guess its like DBS's Ultra Instinct, and not unlike what you described for your Vampire's social dissociation.
It can be anything really as long as mechanically it works the same. I have had a Lizardfolk, Path of the Beast Barbarian / Rune Knight Fighter multiclass character. So in every combat I used both the Rage and size increase from Rune Knight. RP'ed it as being sort of.. .a Mix between a Mini Godzilla and hulk. A minotaur with a heavy book with iron covers dangling by a thick iron chain (Reflavored Flail). Again anger based rage, whenever he was about to rage he would calmly open the book, flip through pages and then froth at the mouth screaming "I CAN'T READ!" and smash people with the book flail. Seen a Wild Magic Barbarian, the rage being him surrounded by unstable magic he can't control, no anger. Seen a Storm Herald turn into some sort of elemental avatar. I have seen a Zealot Barbarian that just became VERY serious and started loudly citing Old Testament intimidating / vengeful lines (As a very pissed off Paladin). As for a "vampire", I am currently writing a Dhampir Zealot Barbarian + Undead Warlock multiclass. Has a bit of unholy magic and a bit of "Feral bloodlust" in him. Also has the "Unarmed fighting style" of fighters as a feat. Helps him need no weapons. Because of the Necrotic Damage given by both Form of Dread and Zealot, I plan his rage to be like the ghost form you use in the LOTR games. His arms become ghostly, punching the "soul" of the enemy directly for necrotic damage.
The barbarian im playing right now in my games is an achemist and his rage is him injecting himself with painkillers and a magic infused adreniline shot.
My caiman lizardfolk, Ripper, is similar. Tl;dr: he has trust issues and isn’t much for small talk. When he rages he surrenders to his base instincts: “Kill anything that moves!” His pupils contract, turning them to slits, his muscles bulge a bit and he will stop taking entirely, only making crocodile noises until his rage ends.
wait, Is wizards of the coast actually genuinely trying to Copyright/gatekeep an entire Game Genre? Wtf??? someone needs to get them to quit their bullshit
Not a joke. I fully intend to buy my remaining planned dnd books from a secondhand bookstore so I don’t have to pay wotc jack shit. I still get my physical books to run campaigns in private if I wish and reference but I also don’t have to pay them for their stupidity. And it’s perfectly legal a route for me to buy those books second hand. And you know what’s better? Because of wotc’s stupidity I still can get my hands on those books, probably easier than ever, as people purge their bookshelves of their dnd books in protest of wotc, especially as they change gaming systems. So yay me!
That was a joke from Darths and Droids, Quigon dies because the DM never says a day has passed so his force powers never reset. Which means the whole of Phantom Menace took place in less than a day.
The "marry death" story is basically deadpool, FYI. Yeah, Deadpool is so awesome even death can't resist his charm. In comincs the reason deadpool cannot die is due to Thanos (Who's also in love with Death) curses him so he cannot die, in order to keep Death and Deadpool separated. I freaking love Red's basckstory.
So about the chicken holding The One Ring. While a single chicken is not threatening the ring has enough of Sauron's soul to make the chicken dangerous. Sauron is basically an angelic being that is beyond mortality so yeah even without a body he is very dangerous. Also people forget that the only reason Frodo got to destroy the ring is because the others were assaulting his domain, he thought they would have the ring because leaving such a powerful item in the hands of two hobbits is idiotic. Not to mention when something wears the ring it essentially becomes a beacon for Sauron's forces, imagine the assault on Gondor levels of troops but it is just two hobbits in the woods.
5:19 I recently played a rare irl session (we normally play online) and one of my players brought snacks! Problem was it was a bag of nuts, and I'm allergic. No inspiration for them
Heck yeah, OSP meme! (Id recognize that artstyle anywhere!) (Thumbnail pic is from a video about Greek lore, by the UA-cam channel overly sarcastic productions.)
to sum up the new ogl, if you write a book for dnd, you have to pay wotc 25% of the earnings above $750,000, and they can steal it without your permission, sell it as their own, and then find anything they deem "offensive" and terminate your contract
Just realized the book your character holds has the pages not split on the middle, which meand when it gets closed it would have a weird gap in it and now I can't unsee it.
No I think it's supposed to be like that. When you fold the book up, the binding will collapse into the back of the spine, but when you open it, it separates from the spine so the pages don't have to bend weirdly. Essentially, the binding itself will curve around so that the pages don't have to bend as much while the book is open. Not every book uses this design, especially paperbacks, but look at some larger hardback books.
9:17 this is essentially the plot of deathpool. he died or was close to dying several times and met the goddess of death. they fell in love. thanos was jealous and made deathpool unkillable. so they couldn't see each other anymore.
Yes, forced marriages are very funny, consent is for the weak. Seriously, it's possible there may have been a misunderstanding and the mothfolk didn't realize that non-mothfolk didn't follow this tradition (and thus didn't realize it was a marriage proposal), but as soon as that fact came to light the only sensible thing would be to void it and enlighten the outsiders on the finer points of mothfolk culture so the same mistake doesn't happen again. Otherwise, a marriage can be easily voided with a sharp bit of steel. A tradition can likewise be voided using the same solution on a larger scale.
4:36 Imagine the party skipping an arc, sequence breaking their way into the evil cult's HQ, slaughtering most of the cultists, and killing the BBEG with mercury poisoning. During the whole thing, they only take one PC casualty. Why should it be 8 encounters in a day? Just make it 8 encounters without long rest. Remember, doing any strenuous activity (such as fighting) resets long rest progress. You should give the players the short rest they had time for, though.
As a DM my rule for rewarding OOC behavior is its only allowed if everyone agrees. Make a great joke OOC? Maybe the table likes it enough your character said it now too, bring snacks? Hell yeah you get inspiration!
Holy shit I just looked and the ctrl+alt+del comic is still active. I used to be a regular reader but dropped it when the loss arc happened. I'm just amazed it's there in 2023 still pushing out comics.
8:47 my dad did the proper version of this. his rogue had a poison glove, dropped onto the dragon from the cavern ceiling, and directly injected the stuff into its eye. dragon fell asleep without a fight.
If the party skips the entire arc and angers 300 cultists. You let them die. No Joke, if a party of level 1 adventurers think they can take on the final boss, let them know just how wrong they are by giving them NO MERCY. And watch the survivors run away with their tail between their legs
@@whiterabbit75 Fair, I more just mean like, give at least 1-2 party members a chance to escape to that it's not a total TPK. And having a survivor makes it less likely they'll just leave the table since there's still someone who was there from the start.
Also feel like I should double-re-iterate I'm serious. Because it's important to make sure players know there are consequences to their actions. Like... Make the party that tries to skip the campaign go through the equivalent of BotW's Hyrule Castle. Somewhere that's EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and has every warning sign that they should not be here until they've powered up. And so when the party (or even just 1-2 members) just barely escape with their lives (or have the whole party survive, but have those who WOULD have died be permanently disfigured somehow) They know EXACTLY what they're dealing with, and the inherent understanding that you absolutely positively NEED to do the rest of the plot in order to actually handle them.
3:40 Wait, is a mage hunter a bigger version of a mage ripper? (Context: mage rippers were tiny creatures from 3.5E I think, who formed swarms and devoured magic like locusts. The only problem is that they can't eat inorganic magic items, so an enchanted sword could be used to get a swarm off a party's tail then later return to find the sword completely find, covered in mage rippers, but fine).
basics on the OGL controversy -OGL 1.0 granted 3rd partys the right to publish content for dnd -OGL 1.1 is a new variant for the ogl which states that past a certain threshold of money made you must give 25% of your income to WOTC (income, not profits, so if you make 100k in income and have 75k in expenses, you still have to pay 25k so have a net profit of $0) -WOTC is planning to revoke 1.0 so that 3rd partys cant just pick that one instead
2:57 ALL of my character have at least one rank of Survival and at least one rank of Profession: Cook for this sort of situation. I also typically have a Ring of Sustenance when available but the skill ranks are there for other party members as well. Thanks for the video!
Once I showed up to session one of a campaign with some freinds with four bags: One for books One for maps One for dice(small bag) And a backpack entirely for snacks.
You ever have a player put a 20 dollar bill when a TPK was inevitable? "A planetar floats down and finished the fight. It heals the entire party and points to [player who put money in] and they lose 2 levels." God that felt amazing and the sandwich I bought with that twenty was really good.
My gateway dice incident was my brother buying me a matching dice set. Soon after, I wound up with about 9 complete sets worth of dice, plus countless mismatched dice.
My character a changling barbarian that was homebrewed to be more like a slime invented coffee and soloed a entire tavern of goblins at level 1 intended for 6 players and when he died he got a coffee shaped grave that smells like coffee and his corpse and is now a book
The OGL debarcle in a nut shell Imagine if god decended upon us, And he spoke 1 new commandment. "Any who create a bread like product must pay me, and I may take your bread at any time, because I decide I don't like you" I don't believe it can be retroactivly be placed onto existing products, its unlawful (I believe) to force an old license to change, unless like the new OGL, it specifies that at any time, it can be changed. But theirs a clause that says, any profits above $750,000 must pay royalties of 20%, the could legaly change that to any money above 1p must pay 100 % Royalties.
2:50 2000, WotC releases OGL. Perpetual (Clause 4), royalty-free license. Life is good, D&D explodes with content. 2023, they decide to try to "un-perpetual" it and make one that has 25% royalties, that allows them to do the "I made this" meme, and that they can change as they want with 30 days notice. And the whole thing is filled with "I'm so quirky" commentary, like failing to meet their, like, demands means they'll sue you, tee hee!. I'd honestly recommend taking a look into it, because at this point I wouldn't put "D&D memes are our intellectual property, we will sue you for making money off them" into the realm of dumb legal fantasy any more.
My 3.5 warlock at level 1 is area denial, he can theoretically make a 120foot wall of webs and earthen grasps (familiar/mount is a giant spider, eldritch shape invocation earthen grasp and 3.5 metamagic)
11:33 Sure, it's not like one character's entire arc was that he was falling under sway of the ring despite the fact that he wasn't even carrying it. What was his name, uh... Faramir? Look, guys, the ring doesn't really have the loopholes you think it does. It's an at least semi-sentient magical artifact; it would reach out to other, greater creatures, and just get THEM to kill the chicken and take it, up until it ends up back in Sauron's hands. 12:01 I don't get how this is a disadvantage for the martials. Sure, the beholder isn't making an area where he can't shoot his eye-rays so that he can pin down the wizard, but he also isn't pinning down any of the martials; only about half of the eye rays actually deal damage, and the rest are just mildly annoying CCs that the martials should have decent enough stats to save most of the time.
To your first point about the ring, Gandalf would not have gotten a halfling to carry the thing if the ring corrupted everyone nearby equally. While sole are stronger against or weaker to it's temptations closeness and proximity does affect its ability to corrupt. As for your second point of the ring corrupting other bigger things to kill the ring bearer, what do you think it was doing with Faramir?
And about the beholder v martials, I'm pretty sure the point is exactly that beholders are bad against martials and strong against casters, thus the party not having casters to make the fights more challenging in this specific setup won't work
@@orsolyafekete7485 That's not really what the meme implies. From the title, to the wording, to the meme itself, this meme is definitely saying that it thinks the martials are blissfully unaware of something that's going to ruin them, and that something is antimagic cone (Or lack thereof), which... doesn't make sense. Also, @ACEYGAMES, I'm not sure if we're disagreeing or not. The end point is that the most likely tying the ring to a chicken as a safety buffer wouldn't work because you don't need to actually be HOLDING the ring for it to exert influence on you; just be in proximity. Eventually, someone would go "This is stupid, give me that ring" and take it from the chicken.
@@ilovethelegend Okay, I went back and looked at it again, and yes, you are correct. Now I think it's supposed to mean that since there are no casters, the beholder doesn't need to keep it's antimagic cone on the party, so it can eyebeam them to it's heart's (or whatever beholders have) content. Which still doesn't really make sense, since from my experience beholders disadvantaging themselves that way is never a problem anyway, but whatever
I'm working on my own TTRPG, which I plan to release for basically a pittance in online form. Probably not as great as D&D but I hope it will be a worthy alternative.
Sometimes a session is 1 month of in game time other times it is one really long day of everything going wrong. Our party seems to have very little in-between
Ah yes, because milking the minotaur fighter isn't going to have any adverse affect on her when she also doesn't have rations. /Sarcasm (Also it is hopefully a 'her' in this instance...)
You don't have to be holding the ring the be effected by it. Boromir never even touched the ring and he tried to overpower Frodo for it. Galadriel almost took the ring after a few hours in the same forest as the ring.
11:22 Oh boy, just this Sunday, one of my players had the misfortune of a random cultist guard critting them with a gun. Since they didn't manage to counter-crit on their evasion, it was basicaly 10+1d10 damage, and the d10 managed to get full damage as well. Since the poor artist they were playing only had 12HP... Yeah, instant death. And one of the other PCs was this PCs sister, and just went into an absolute frenzy afterwards. The party actually managed to successfully save the world in the end, but that player left early (in part because it was already getting late and if it hadn't been a time based game with a limit at midnight, they'd normally have wanted to stop an half hour earlier anyway)

1:58 No, leaving a lamp on and trying to leave would not work because you are the light of her life. No light is brighter than you to her.
This comment is perfect.
The reason Frodo would still be corrupted by the ring is that whenever you try to throw it in the volcano, according to the books, it uses it's maximum power to corrupt you specifically and you're not able to throw it in lava willingly, they were actually lucky golum took the ring from Frodo and tripped onto the lava, otherwise they were doomed.
Yep. For all that Elrond is embittered over Isildur failing to throw the Ring into the volcano, he wouldn't have been able to do it either, if he'd been the one holding the Ring in that chamber.
@@martenkahr3365 Actually, in the books the scene where Elrond screams "Isildor!" doesn't exist, and he isn't bitter or arrogant like in the movies, the only thing he does is analize humans who enter his city bc he can't use his astral vision to differenciate the corrupted humans from the regular ones. Also, they didn't even try to throw the ring in the volcano in the books, everyone thought that since Sauron "died" the ring was ok to use, what they didn't know is that Sauron was a lich and would come back, and the ring was still corrupting everyone
The chicken might work by that logic, scare it into falling off while avoiding the ring yourself, not easy but more doable than doing a 1v1 against the ring's will power after months of it wearing you down.
Of course considering the most basic power the ring bestows is invisibility, the chicken would likely have escaped and run to its master long before that point.
@@timothycarney9652 I don't think a chicken would be dumb enough to jump into lava while trying to escape Frodo and Sam instead of just circling around them, but yeah, maybe
@@HiatoPDSS Or you could just Throw it into the lava, or kick it off ect.
In general the more people you have when you finally get to mt. Doom the more likely you can get the ring into the lava with minimum casualties, having someone disposable just simplifies things.
It does make Sauron's preparations make more sense if an individual can get easily overwhelmed by the ring, and the larger groups would have much more trouble getting there unnoticed. If the whole fellowship made it, they could physically restrain anyone, and finangle a way to get it into the lava- knocking it out of someone's hands when they are falling to temptation comes to mind.
The problem with 8 combats a day isn't doing it in a single session, it's the pacing of the story, sometimes you can't just stick 8 combats in a row because there is absolutely no reason why it'd happen.
It works if you’re doing a dungeon crawl, but if you don’t play D&D as a dungeon crawl most of the time then yeah you’re practically never getting those eight combats.
Yeah, unless its a dungeon crawl, I can't imagine a scenario where combat could be that egregious.
Or you kill your story. Nobody is gonna remember why they even entered the dungeon after the seventh fight.
Encounters =/= combats. Running into a merchant who wants to haggle is an encounter. Having to infiltrate the noble's ball is an encounter. Interrogating a hostage is an encounter.
War is heck. War is HECK!
10:44 The better question to ask is "Why would I let you roll Acrobatics for a jump when the rules specifically state that it should be an Athletics check?"
e.g. it's athletics if it is pure brute force jump across, and it is acrobatics if it is parkour off the wall.
Because I did a flip.
Barbarian with armor feels almost illegal.

I am so happy to see Travis getting recognized as the god tier D&D player that he is.
Honestly all of Critical Role are god tier players, but Travis is certainly a step above. Just his anti-metagame approach is so refreshing to see in action. Not even mentioning his characters meshing so well with the others, its magical.
@@levinseve3471 - he's not anti-metagame though. He metagames the shit out of Matt's games, but he does it for the benefit of the other players and the story, and THAT is what makes all the difference.
My only exposure to D&D before the campaign I'm currently a part of was Critical Role campaign 2. So I make references to it sometimes, for example to explain why I think a certain rule works a certain way/ how a certain thing can be used etc. The other players sometimes joke about me fawning over Matt Mercer. And my answer is always "Hey, as long as I'm not Laura Bailey, I couldn't possibly expect the DM to be Matt Mercer. I'm referencing CR because it's all I know."
I don't think the Mercer effect is all bad - he is an example to DMs who want to be more like him, even a little bit. It's just not fair to expect that of a person.
And yes Travis is fucking amazing.
The new OGL (open game license) is just an extremely restrictive contract that forces you to do a bunch of things you don't want to, allows the company to sell your creations without paying you and revoke your right to sell it yourself.
And nothing in this document is permanent as they have reserved the right to change the entire contents, giving you 30 days to pull all your products from the market if you don't agree with it, while the company can still sell it themselves giving all the profits to D&D/WotC/Hasbro and none to the original creators.
And disney would have nuked it...
if they weren't given a special treatment in form of a special license agreement that saves them from this.
Basically prefertial treatment to assure the one company who would want them dead for the changes let them live
@@Manavine oh yeah it's basically just an attempt to screw over Paizo and similar "competition".
@Bram Lastname yeah; This whole OGL thing has pretty much turn me off. From DnD which is kinda sad. I remember from a post on another channel somewhere on youtube. Some one suggested that WoTC hire on 3rd party creators or something to that degree.
This is something, I wish WoTC and a lot of companies did specially for some franchises. Like how Saga Did for their Sonic games. I think if companies did more stuff like this; We would have great if not awesome games. Kinda wish folks would understand the buff of having fans of something join in on the creation of a game.
I know not everything has to be put in but like. Make polls and shit on top most voted content wanting in the next game or something like that.
@@JackIntoGaming4721 I recently saw a video about the Bloons franchise (Mostly known for their tower defence games)
And how their most popular products were the ones that allowed the fanbase to add their own twist to it.
Whether it is through actual custom content
Or just sending memes to the creators.
Every time they added something that players didn't like,
Ninja Kiwi changed it accordingly
And in most cases generated hype when the previously hated content got adapted into the newest instalment because of it.
This is something that is easy to do in D&D and not even unprecedented,
But this new OGL not only kills off that possibility for OneDnD, but also for 5e and all other first party editions
As with the restrictions of the OGL there's no point to making good content for D&D, because WotC will just steal it without crediting
And other games aren't allowed to use it,
Because you gave WotC permission to sue people over this.
There's legitimately no benefit to playing OneD&D if things don't change soon.
@MegaNez it's comparable,
Tho somewhere I hoped they'd forget about Disney's Star Wars TTRPG,
Cuz boi that would've ruffled some feathers.
5:11 ah yes, the lesser known but mighty powerful En Passant, very situational Goblin build, but if you know your players well enough it can teach them a valuable combat lesson about caution.

@@lukenator115 Its En Passant, a very obscure chess move, if you move your pawn 2 spaces (when it hasnt moved yet), and that would put it right beside an enemy pawn, the enemy pawn may move itself behind your pawn and capture it as if your pawn only moved one space.

1:03 Ah, those kind of cultures. Classic Anime Plot. And maybe Star Trek Plot.
2:29 They haven't done anything yet.
There was a leak of a new version of the OGL - which also overrides the existing OGL - to basically make any commercial use of the OGL material impossible.

7:00 This scene was all about a false equivalency by Scarlet Witch.
She literally compared:

- murdering a innocent girl and dozens across reality for multiverse hopping powers

But this might also be the story of the Anime "KonoSuba". With a failed Isekai Protagonist. He is dying and flirting with death a lot.

The doodle they made makes this way funnier for some reason.
Trying to run 6-8 combat encounters in each adventuring day is only a good thing when the players are actively seeking out those encounters, like in a dungeon. 6-8 encounters every single day while *traveling* will kill the pacing of your game and make several session in a row all about the combat while your party painstakingly spends as much time fighting out of game as they do traveling in game.
If you have trouble grasping the concept of a single day spread over multiple sessions, the Dresden Files books operate pretty much on this premise. Each book takes place over no more than a day or two, a week at most. Each book is a self-contained adventure in an episodic campaign. There's months of in-universe time between volumes.
I could be wrong, but I think they're talking about an old rule from 1ed where each session lasts a single day, and all the time between sessions happens in real time. IIRC, the rule is trying to make a comeback, despite it being absurd, especially if you leave off in the middle of a forest or dungeon.
@@whiterabbit75 You are talking about a rule used in West Marches campaign setting, which is basically a sandbox MMO-style D&D campaign. This rule states that outside of a session, time in the campaign world passes at the same rate as time in the real world. This was used to synchronize all of the various player groups adventuring in the same shared world.
There were a few more rules around this:
- each action in a dungeon, such as searching for secret doors, or a combat, was assumed to take 10 minutes; this included everything around that activity, such as resting, taking stock of loot, etc.
- a dungeon expedition was suggested to always equal 1 week, so there were no issues with players being out of sync
- players explored the world map at a rate of 1 move per in-game day

DM when people bring way too many snacks: fine, I'll give you advantage but I need to lose weight.
Wanda and dr strange " you make money playing my game and are the only reason new people want to play, thus alowing us to florish, i go out of my way to punish small time creators and demand money from you... that doesn't seem fair"
Definitely look into the OGL stuff... Because it effects your videos too. You are making 3rd party D&D content. It doesn't matter that it's not something for the table itself. You would have to apply for the license, pay them if you make over a certain amount from it, and at any time they could decide they don't like something you've said about them, cancel your ability to make more D&D related content, and claim ownership of all your videos to use however they wish to. Also, they can change the deal at any time with only a 30 day notice.
This isn't the final version, of course. This intentional info leak was meant to be too extreme so people will accept whatever they put out instead that isn't quite as bad.
Also, it's pretty clear why they're doing this. They want to remove Pathfinder. Since Pathfinder was founded using D&D's OGL, this would allow them to try to do that... (except that Pathfinder is free and it's impossible to actually remove anything from the internet once it's been here, so they can't succeed, but they might manage to stop updates to Pathfinder, at most.)
So far, this has resulted in 3rd party D&D creators announcing at least two more systems that don't use the OGL though (Kobold Press being one of them, who was previously one of the biggest sources of 3rd party D&D content (like modules & stuff), and the other is Matt Colville, who's associated with Critical Role, which is one of the biggest sources of advertising for D&D's current system). This is just from how insulting the _threat_ of what WotC leaked is, without even seeing what the real final version is going to look like. They've already caused great harm to their own IP.
This actually threatens Disney too, since there are Star Wars video games that use the OGL for some of their internal mechanics, which would allow WotC to claim ownership over anything used in those games... Like Jedi... So the moment WotC tries to enforce the new OGL, they'd get legally stomped by Disney's legal team.
Also, don't sign anything. If you don't sign up for the new license, any court should rule that your content falls under the original OGL, not the new one, especially after they eventually clash with Disney.
Except that because those games were released under the old OGL those terms are what applies. Hell even the we can change this with 30 days notice and you have to pull your content or agree is almost certainly unenforcable. They fucked up, they knew it would fuck them and went ahead anyway. Now they get to lose decades of good will from being cool about it.
7:53 Ok, so from now on, every single one of my characters is going to have something related to quilts happen to them, all because of this flub (from quilting as part of their non-adventuring shenanigans, owning a quilt as part of a backstory, wanting above all else to find a specific addition for a quilt, legendary quilt item, etc)
OGL means DnD is going to be abandoned by content creators who cannot afford to talk about it.create stuff for it anymore due to absolute fuckery Hasbro is trying to pull off. 25% of the revenue - not income, REVENUE - goes to them if you get above a certain sum, they own what you create and can make their own release of your content and pay you nothing, and can at any point in time change the conditions giving you 30 days of notice. There is more, you 100% should read about it, it is just horrifying. And also, the document that leaked - which could be intensional leak - contains a paragraph which states that they are sure there will be a whiplash, and after it happens they will admit they 'saw their mistake' and propose another document.
So what we are getting now is not the final decision, but this is a manipulation tactic. If you were told someone is gonna cut off your arm and then they would change their mind and decide they are only taking your 3 fingers, you'd say 'great!' while ignoring the fact YOU ARE STILL LOOSING FINGERS.
I love DnD which is why it's so heartbreaking to watch.

Less of a meme and more of a fun question to anyone who plays a Barbarian.
When you role-play their rage, do you role-play it as the default "pure anger" kind of rage?
or do you do something different?
I'm interested in hearing on unique role-play versions for a rage.
I have this idea for a great-sword wielding Barbarian who is always well mannered, polite and mostly gives off this "knight" aesthetic rather then a wild barbarian air.
(secretly a vampire) in his Rage he will instead go completely silent, he won't talk or make a single verbal sound while his muscles all tense up and he seemingly starts staring through his enemies.
As if he just mentally stopped viewing them as living beings and embraces his vampire nature (stops acting like he needs to breath, so he makes no sound aside from the attacks of his sword of the movements of his body)
A cold, blood lust driven rage.
Share your unique rage role-play moments/ideas!
I have the concept of a character who sometimes pretends to have an overly exaggerated personality and ego, when he does that in combat, that is his rage, he would often make over exaggerated attacks.
I had a similar idea, but I called it "Focus." Instead of unbridled murderous passion, it was a cold, calculated, empty approach where they stopped thinking entirely and relied completely on their skill and reflexes.
This was a long time ago and before the comparison I'm about to make, but I guess its like DBS's Ultra Instinct, and not unlike what you described for your Vampire's social dissociation.
It can be anything really as long as mechanically it works the same.
I have had a Lizardfolk, Path of the Beast Barbarian / Rune Knight Fighter multiclass character. So in every combat I used both the Rage and size increase from Rune Knight. RP'ed it as being sort of.. .a Mix between a Mini Godzilla and hulk.
A minotaur with a heavy book with iron covers dangling by a thick iron chain (Reflavored Flail). Again anger based rage, whenever he was about to rage he would calmly open the book, flip through pages and then froth at the mouth screaming "I CAN'T READ!" and smash people with the book flail.
Seen a Wild Magic Barbarian, the rage being him surrounded by unstable magic he can't control, no anger.
Seen a Storm Herald turn into some sort of elemental avatar.
I have seen a Zealot Barbarian that just became VERY serious and started loudly citing Old Testament intimidating / vengeful lines (As a very pissed off Paladin).
As for a "vampire", I am currently writing a Dhampir Zealot Barbarian + Undead Warlock multiclass. Has a bit of unholy magic and a bit of "Feral bloodlust" in him. Also has the "Unarmed fighting style" of fighters as a feat. Helps him need no weapons. Because of the Necrotic Damage given by both Form of Dread and Zealot, I plan his rage to be like the ghost form you use in the LOTR games. His arms become ghostly, punching the "soul" of the enemy directly for necrotic damage.
The barbarian im playing right now in my games is an achemist and his rage is him injecting himself with painkillers and a magic infused adreniline shot.
My caiman lizardfolk, Ripper, is similar. Tl;dr: he has trust issues and isn’t much for small talk.
When he rages he surrenders to his base instincts: “Kill anything that moves!”
His pupils contract, turning them to slits, his muscles bulge a bit and he will stop taking entirely, only making crocodile noises until his rage ends.
wait, Is wizards of the coast actually genuinely trying to Copyright/gatekeep an entire Game Genre? Wtf???
someone needs to get them to quit their bullshit
Not a joke. I fully intend to buy my remaining planned dnd books from a secondhand bookstore so I don’t have to pay wotc jack shit. I still get my physical books to run campaigns in private if I wish and reference but I also don’t have to pay them for their stupidity. And it’s perfectly legal a route for me to buy those books second hand. And you know what’s better? Because of wotc’s stupidity I still can get my hands on those books, probably easier than ever, as people purge their bookshelves of their dnd books in protest of wotc, especially as they change gaming systems. So yay me!
That DM is in a polygamous relationship and is trynna get you into his harem, the snacks have nothing to do with it.

SoupDupeRoot here, sorcerer SkyDieRay accidentally gave me sentience when trying to dupe his soup with a root
That was a joke from Darths and Droids, Quigon dies because the DM never says a day has passed so his force powers never reset. Which means the whole of Phantom Menace took place in less than a day.
5:10 if you just moved from e7 to e5 in the last round, then yes, it's perfectly legal
The "marry death" story is basically deadpool, FYI. Yeah, Deadpool is so awesome even death can't resist his charm. In comincs the reason deadpool cannot die is due to Thanos (Who's also in love with Death) curses him so he cannot die, in order to keep Death and Deadpool separated. I freaking love Red's basckstory.
So about the chicken holding The One Ring. While a single chicken is not threatening the ring has enough of Sauron's soul to make the chicken dangerous. Sauron is basically an angelic being that is beyond mortality so yeah even without a body he is very dangerous. Also people forget that the only reason Frodo got to destroy the ring is because the others were assaulting his domain, he thought they would have the ring because leaving such a powerful item in the hands of two hobbits is idiotic. Not to mention when something wears the ring it essentially becomes a beacon for Sauron's forces, imagine the assault on Gondor levels of troops but it is just two hobbits in the woods.

my gateway die was a skewed dice set, literally started playing to justify my dice goblin tendencies
to sum up the new ogl, if you write a book for dnd, you have to pay wotc 25% of the earnings above $750,000, and they can steal it without your permission, sell it as their own, and then find anything they deem "offensive" and terminate your contract

7:14 pf actually was sorta the reason d&d survives gsl of 4e ıf it didnt 5e might not even got puplic
Just realized the book your character holds has the pages not split on the middle, which meand when it gets closed it would have a weird gap in it and now I can't unsee it.
No I think it's supposed to be like that. When you fold the book up, the binding will collapse into the back of the spine, but when you open it, it separates from the spine so the pages don't have to bend weirdly. Essentially, the binding itself will curve around so that the pages don't have to bend as much while the book is open. Not every book uses this design, especially paperbacks, but look at some larger hardback books.
9:17 this is essentially the plot of deathpool. he died or was close to dying several times and met the goddess of death. they fell in love. thanos was jealous and made deathpool unkillable. so they couldn't see each other anymore.
The mothfolk one is funny, Dm taking advantage of every parties universal instinct to name everyone they come across.
Yes, forced marriages are very funny, consent is for the weak.
Seriously, it's possible there may have been a misunderstanding and the mothfolk didn't realize that non-mothfolk didn't follow this tradition (and thus didn't realize it was a marriage proposal), but as soon as that fact came to light the only sensible thing would be to void it and enlighten the outsiders on the finer points of mothfolk culture so the same mistake doesn't happen again. Otherwise, a marriage can be easily voided with a sharp bit of steel. A tradition can likewise be voided using the same solution on a larger scale.
4:36 Imagine the party skipping an arc, sequence breaking their way into the evil cult's HQ, slaughtering most of the cultists, and killing the BBEG with mercury poisoning. During the whole thing, they only take one PC casualty.

Remember, doing any strenuous activity (such as fighting) resets long rest progress. You should give the players the short rest they had time for, though.

@@whiterabbit75 Fair, I more just mean like, give at least 1-2 party members a chance to escape to that it's not a total TPK. And having a survivor makes it less likely they'll just leave the table since there's still someone who was there from the start.
@@aquamarinerose5405 Yeah, I could see that.
Also feel like I should double-re-iterate I'm serious. Because it's important to make sure players know there are consequences to their actions.
Like... Make the party that tries to skip the campaign go through the equivalent of BotW's Hyrule Castle. Somewhere that's EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and has every warning sign that they should not be here until they've powered up. And so when the party (or even just 1-2 members) just barely escape with their lives (or have the whole party survive, but have those who WOULD have died be permanently disfigured somehow) They know EXACTLY what they're dealing with, and the inherent understanding that you absolutely positively NEED to do the rest of the plot in order to actually handle them.
@@aquamarinerose5405 Agreed.

The only problem is that they can't eat inorganic magic items, so an enchanted sword could be used to get a swarm off a party's tail then later return to find the sword completely find, covered in mage rippers, but fine).
basics on the OGL controversy
-OGL 1.0 granted 3rd partys the right to publish content for dnd
-OGL 1.1 is a new variant for the ogl which states that past a certain threshold of money made you must give 25% of your income to WOTC (income, not profits, so if you make 100k in income and have 75k in expenses, you still have to pay 25k so have a net profit of $0)
-WOTC is planning to revoke 1.0 so that 3rd partys cant just pick that one instead
11:48 The only problem is the ring would not have allowed this. The ring chooses when to trade hands.
2:57 ALL of my character have at least one rank of Survival and at least one rank of Profession: Cook for this sort of situation. I also typically have a Ring of Sustenance when available but the skill ranks are there for other party members as well.

The OGL debarcle in a nut shell
Imagine if god decended upon us,
And he spoke 1 new commandment.
"Any who create a bread like product must pay me, and I may take your bread at any time, because I decide I don't like you"
I don't believe it can be retroactivly be placed onto existing products, its unlawful (I believe) to force an old license to change, unless like the new OGL, it specifies that at any time, it can be changed.
But theirs a clause that says, any profits above $750,000 must pay royalties of 20%, the could legaly change that to any money above 1p must pay 100 % Royalties.
2:50 2000, WotC releases OGL. Perpetual (Clause 4), royalty-free license. Life is good, D&D explodes with content. 2023, they decide to try to "un-perpetual" it and make one that has 25% royalties, that allows them to do the "I made this" meme, and that they can change as they want with 30 days notice. And the whole thing is filled with "I'm so quirky" commentary, like failing to meet their, like, demands means they'll sue you, tee hee!.
I'd honestly recommend taking a look into it, because at this point I wouldn't put "D&D memes are our intellectual property, we will sue you for making money off them" into the realm of dumb legal fantasy any more.

This is Araraura, your host for today, bringing you your daily silksong news. There has been no news to report for silksong today.
11:33 Sure, it's not like one character's entire arc was that he was falling under sway of the ring despite the fact that he wasn't even carrying it. What was his name, uh... Faramir?
Look, guys, the ring doesn't really have the loopholes you think it does. It's an at least semi-sentient magical artifact; it would reach out to other, greater creatures, and just get THEM to kill the chicken and take it, up until it ends up back in Sauron's hands.
12:01 I don't get how this is a disadvantage for the martials. Sure, the beholder isn't making an area where he can't shoot his eye-rays so that he can pin down the wizard, but he also isn't pinning down any of the martials; only about half of the eye rays actually deal damage, and the rest are just mildly annoying CCs that the martials should have decent enough stats to save most of the time.
To your first point about the ring, Gandalf would not have gotten a halfling to carry the thing if the ring corrupted everyone nearby equally. While sole are stronger against or weaker to it's temptations closeness and proximity does affect its ability to corrupt.
As for your second point of the ring corrupting other bigger things to kill the ring bearer, what do you think it was doing with Faramir?
And about the beholder v martials, I'm pretty sure the point is exactly that beholders are bad against martials and strong against casters, thus the party not having casters to make the fights more challenging in this specific setup won't work
@@orsolyafekete7485 That's not really what the meme implies. From the title, to the wording, to the meme itself, this meme is definitely saying that it thinks the martials are blissfully unaware of something that's going to ruin them, and that something is antimagic cone (Or lack thereof), which... doesn't make sense.
Also, @ACEYGAMES, I'm not sure if we're disagreeing or not. The end point is that the most likely tying the ring to a chicken as a safety buffer wouldn't work because you don't need to actually be HOLDING the ring for it to exert influence on you; just be in proximity. Eventually, someone would go "This is stupid, give me that ring" and take it from the chicken.
@@ACEYGAMES Was Frodo the chicken all along?
@@ilovethelegend Okay, I went back and looked at it again, and yes, you are correct. Now I think it's supposed to mean that since there are no casters, the beholder doesn't need to keep it's antimagic cone on the party, so it can eyebeam them to it's heart's (or whatever beholders have) content. Which still doesn't really make sense, since from my experience beholders disadvantaging themselves that way is never a problem anyway, but whatever
Ah, Lost, that TV show never watched
At least moths are one of those gentle insect species that just flutters around.
As opposed to locusts?
I'm working on my own TTRPG, which I plan to release for basically a pittance in online form.
Probably not as great as D&D but I hope it will be a worthy alternative.
Sometimes a session is 1 month of in game time other times it is one really long day of everything going wrong. Our party seems to have very little in-between
Bard: "Sorry Moth Lad-... I mean Fluffy. I'm already married."
Fluffy: "What? To who?"
Bard: "To music!" *dramatic bum bum bummmmmmmmm*
title moment, let's go
Ah yes, because milking the minotaur fighter isn't going to have any adverse affect on her when she also doesn't have rations. /Sarcasm
(Also it is hopefully a 'her' in this instance...)
6:14 it's the three crosses Jesus and the thieves was hung on
You don't have to be holding the ring the be effected by it. Boromir never even touched the ring and he tried to overpower Frodo for it. Galadriel almost took the ring after a few hours in the same forest as the ring.
That's just the thing, Frodo was the chicken on the string. And he got loose.
5:12 believe that's a reference to en passant
5:20 love me an osp meme
5:21 polyanmoury??? better yet a poly reltionship where you all play dnd together? yes please
we had a monk climb into an ancient black dragon's mouth, he almost died
11:22 Oh boy, just this Sunday, one of my players had the misfortune of a random cultist guard critting them with a gun. Since they didn't manage to counter-crit on their evasion, it was basicaly 10+1d10 damage, and the d10 managed to get full damage as well. Since the poor artist they were playing only had 12HP... Yeah, instant death. And one of the other PCs was this PCs sister, and just went into an absolute frenzy afterwards.
The party actually managed to successfully save the world in the end, but that player left early (in part because it was already getting late and if it hadn't been a time based game with a limit at midnight, they'd normally have wanted to stop an half hour earlier anyway)
The person who married a mother married Juniper's sister
2:44 this is basically how it was with Deadpool in the comics.
10:24
As a 40K fan, this hits me on an almost personal level.
10:53 Use the cat like you're Mario and the kitty is yoshi
9:10 that's Deadpool's story, except for the last panel
