My brother is playing a character in one of my campaigns that is extremely old and took a history proficiency (because his character is so old it can be hard to tell whether they’re just really well-studied or if they were actually firsthand witnesses to the history they’re recounting.) As a natural result of this, now any time any of my players pass a history check I give them a small portion of my pre-prepared notes with exposition I was going to deliver to them in character, usually as a forgettable NPC, but for them to read to everyone else and explain in character, put it in their own words in an “oh, I recognize this” kind of way, and funnily enough my players care a lot more about my lore & worldbuilding when delivered that way.
@joelproko Bahamut, the god-king of metallic dragons, is a (likely the only) Platinum dragon who spends much of his time disguised as an old human wizard traveling the world. He is guarded at all times by seven ancient Gold dragons who, while he is in his human form, take the form of canaries flying around him. Bahamut is on the level of Tiamat in terms of power and importance, with his alignment of lawful good being the inverse of her lawful evil.

@hellsbreach not even close bro. Google is your friend. Or you know you could read the actual original Dragonlance Trilogy. Fizban is Paladine and because of Fizban and Tasslehoff Burrfoot's deep friendship before Fizban's "death", the Kender come to worship Fizban as a god of light
@hellsbreach I see where you got confused. In Forgotten Realms lore Fizban is an avatar of Bahamut when he walks the Mortal world. In D&D/Dragonlace Paladine is Fizban. Easy to get confused honestly.

Ran a false hydra once. I could see rhe exact second one of my players figured it out. His face just dropped. But. He kept his shit. Kept his character clueless. What he did do was compliment me on the perfectly chosen name for the one shot, once he caught me alone during the pizza break.
Every session I've been a part of has been homebrew, but I learned after an old wood elf tore my orc apart after he broke a dish that old people aren't necessarily easy prey, and a fellow orc got a couple teeth knocked out in a melee dual.
The old man turns out to be the God of self defence completely harmless unless he has to defend himself then your in serious trouble because he doesn't stop punching you until your destroyed on a sub molecular level
He's a recurring character in one campaign he's playing in lmao. The one time we ran across him WITHOUT him casting fireball shortly after, we had a snowball fight with an squadron of dragonborn (from Tiamat's army) that was treating the fight much more seriously and very much trying to kill us. The most RECENT time we came across him he was hanging onto a piece of wood in the middle of the ocean, and shortly after he came aboard he decided that casting Delayed Blast Fireball (3.5, fireball maxes out at 15D6. DBF however goes up to 20) just whereabouts we were heading was an EXCELLENT idea. Thankfully, I'd been spamming control weather the whole journey to avoid storms and bad winds so I managed to change course just enough to NOT make the ship explode, but we still had to fix up the sails😂
@@nikki607 Oh, I only know Fizban(Paladine) from the Dragonlance books I read as a teenager (I was very cool 🙃) In the books, Paladine is one of the gods but he's disguised as a white robe mage named Fizban who's constantly saying something like, "I have just the spell for this situation. Fireball!"
That's why, for most of my characters except for a select few, Religion, History and Perception are a primary focus Heck, i made one of my Barbarians, a Dragonborn, Black Dragon, have a focus on his intellect not his brawn.... it saved the party a ton of trouble
It is criminal that so many dungeons and dragons fans have no idea who these core characters are. Wizards of the coast should be ashamed of themselves.
"Magic shop with no security." Nuh uh, couldn't pay me enough to try that. That shopkeeper is *looking* for an excuse. You're gonna draw your sword and he's gonna pull out a tattered composition notebook full of the most unethical experimental spells we've never heard of.
Forget magic shop, any shop run by an elderly character with no security is a door to adding things to the DnD version of the Geneva Convention. With the top 3 FAFO shops being a magic shop, weapons shop, and artificers shop.
In my game I have a NPC named "The Merchant of Wisdom and Knowledge" basically an ask DM character in his own pocket dimension with a monkeys paw situation towards the questions you ask. But he has literal legendary artefacts being used as interior lighting. Thankfully even the always sticky fingered thief knew better than to challenge what was if not a god an ungodly powerful demi god like mage. I also have a normal magic item shop where all the magic items for sale are wax replicas and the actual items that aren't cursed are kept under lock and key.
Look, I'm literally just getting into d&d and my knowledge is less than a sparrows fart. But anything that's guarded by just some old dude is always off limits. We know this. Terry Pratchett knew this. It's one of the universal rules everyone knows and if they don't they soon find out.

Thats one dangerous Canary
To be fair, after that Canary beats the piss outta you, the "Old guy" probably wont do anything more to humiliate you 😂😂
I love the immediate look of “You…..” given to the DM
Gotta love the "Haha, oh god no-" that happens
It's so hard when you know trying to remember what things your character knows and what you know XD
"I am here. There is no greater security than that."
-Yamamoto
The DM being as Fabulous as Fizban 😂
*Camera pans to pissed off Golden Canary in the door way staring at the party*
An old man running a magic shop is the only whole sentence I need to know that it has a very good security.
This man needs a asmr channel lol
Just me saying "shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" for an hour straight 😂
@@run-dmgI mean with the context I get it 😅
This is the perfect representation on how to manage ICK and OCK I loves this
The second I heard "old man with canneries", I knew who it was. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIII😅 has been the last words of many characters😂
"And that, kids, is how I became a Paladin."
"Don't mind me. I'm just gonna put some atmospheric sound."
*unlit Minecraft cave sounds play in the background*
“On an unrelated note can everyone roll for initiative” is terrifying
"He doesn't know that's a god" must be the best line ever
My husband made exactly those faces when I shared this with him 😂😂😂
If there's a joint with no Security System and just an Old Man you best skedaddle out of there.
He IS the SECURITY SYSTEM!
"eh I'll allow it" I'm ded 😂
Low key fizban is my favorite character in all dnd lore
Player: "Hey DM, why did you start playing One-Winged Angel?'"
It would be so hard not to start laughing. 😂
Honestly, at that point I'm just sending the DM a "look" and going to go get a drink. lol
those that dont metagame and ruin it for other players are literally the best players in the game. i love these metagame vids. i have some very experienced players and some noobs so the fact they take the "dont metagame and go along with the calamities" so they dont spoil it for new players is amazing and im lucky to have them at my table.
“Well I have this very handy spell, I just can’t seem to remember the magical words… mhhh…”
I have no clue what's going on but "he didn't know he's a god" was so great 😂😂😂
Dm:’plays dark souls boss music’
Newbie:”why do I hear boss music?”
The DM shrug is life haha.
That’s why having someone with the Sage background is important.
Fizban casts fireball.
Veteran player: RUN!!!!
Fizban is hilarity incarnate sometimes.
When he said magic shop I honestly thought he meant a tcg shop for a bit
Hahaha ive had situations like this in my 3.x game. It gets so bad sometimes when your rogue tries to steal Olidammara's lute.
One of my Monks was trained/kinda raised by Fiziban. So when I roll a History check instead of a Religion check, the whole table gets awkward.
Im dying.
This is where the DM looks at you, the only experienced player at the table. Big friendly smile that you know means,” i know YOU know. And i know you know i know you know, but anything you say better make a LOT of sense for your back ally half orc urchin rouge to say :D”
Player: “…is that a gold dragon in your pocket or are you happy to see me!”
*nervous laughter*
