The title of the video is DiplomaNcy. The "n" apparently gets lost in there. It's a made up term describing the way a high charisma player uses any of the charisma-based skills to magically bend the world to their will. We know that they're bluff checks.
11/10 excelent!
I wonder, was this an actual event that happened while you guys were playing D&D one time? or was it just a funny script? 'cuz those are good too.
Oh wow I JUST noticed the "n".
Merreck Lorregan, this exact exchange might not have happened, but play D&D for long enough and everyone will come across a situation like this.
What's the song you guys used at the start of this?
"...someone killed Greg!"
his Charisma was so powerful, it legally changed his name!
Shadow Wolf so powerful that it warped reality such that he had always been called Greg.
@@PureGoldNeverCorrodes "Starting now, he has always been Greg"
Nah, the firs guy's name was greg, the third person didn't care about the second one.
roll for charisma
Oo Nat 20 and with my bonus modifiers that comes to infinity
"Someone killed Greg!"
"Actually, it was sword acupuncture. He's fine."
(ROLLS)
"Wow, I had no idea such a thing was possible! He looks so relaxed!"
"Yes, would you like some to?"
"No!"
(rolls)
"yes"
to answer that you need to have +10 intelligence
I love how Kyle’s character goes from “blind panic” to “wait it’s working” to “this damn fool will fall for literally everything I say! I hereby name you Greg and accuse you of chicken-murder!”
It's a great character arc.
I'm just imagining the conversation between the DM and the player
@@alexanderwamsley5846probably went “my name is Greg and I have killed a chicken with a man”
When you roll a 2 on deception, but the guard rolls 1 on insight
LOL exactly!
I'm...Your dad
Guard: Dad?!
If they have a higher mod, then they could still see though it
@@pickletickler1026 Depends, some GM's consider a nat 1 an auto fail regardless of modifiers.
@@11zhaov1 I'm talking about The RAW
DM: 'Roll persausion
Bard: Oh yeah!
*bard rolls 11 then adds his bonuses.*
Bard: Awww man... only 26.
Don't forget the important part. At lvl 1.
Let me guess... true story?
@@goldfish6525 In Pathfinder, a Min Maxed Bard will have that and looking for things to screw. Or screw everybody over and make them think it was their idea.
That's when you make the campaign a dungeon crawl so it can't be used. Then all his time is wasted!
Maybe this is why no one likes me as a DM
@@jackoster7115
Sounds like your CHR is low, might wanna change classes.
Reminds me of the time my party were trying to sneak aboard a ship, but there were guards checking papers at a checkpoint.
"Excuse me sirs, we absolutely need to get onto this ship."
"Then you need your papers."
"We were sent by Captain Pallitus (who is a recurring guard NPC that has helped the players)"
"Do you have any kind of written form signed by him."
"......No, but he told us it was important, and he even gave us his signature catchphrase."
"Which is...?"
*The player pauses for a moment, realising they didn't actually have anything in mind.*
".....I am Captain Pallitus..?"
*rolls persuasion*
*critical*
"Hmm, well that *does* sound like Captain Pallitus... Alright, you can go through."
DEASTES Gold
DEASTES that reminds me of when i became a king with my bard thanks to a game of poker, lots of drinks,fake papers and a doppelganger disguised of a paladino
I am Alpharius
Our party went into some dwarven mines, and killed some undead. There was a dwarven longsword with acid enchantment embedded in one of the creature's chest. Our human paladin of Kaitos, Lodrolf Stormfisher, and our dwarf cleric Thorsson, wielder of the hammer Mjolnir, started fighting over it. Then our rogue, an extremely sexy Drow woman, walked up. With the help of her natural assets, and nat 20 persuasion roll, she convinced them it didn't exist.
@@gihrenzabi7271 omg that is the best :)
> What's a viceroy?
> I'm in charge of managing the king's vices.
OMG LOL
Hugh Garmany a uninheretible title that is given back to the one who gave it
CK2 is best
General noob. Viceroyalties, AKA I'm going to stack the government with opinion 100 people only.
I convinced a dragon that I was a bush once
the awesome face as your icon makes this sentence all the more hilarious.
HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN?!?!?!
Dragon: I WILL KILL YOU!!!!
You: No I'm a bush.
Dragon: *Seems ligit.*
I convinced the dragon that life was meaningless and it killed itself
damn, once you were a bush you should have convinced it you were god ! A few pyrotechnic effect later you got yourself a dragon that is going to free his people from the egyptiens !
@@eleanorcarpenter37 If life is meaningless to the dragon, would they not end your miserable, meaningless life as well?
Ah the most powerful of mages, the Diplomancer
Now we live in a more enlightened age when any race can attempt to achieve the coveted role of Diplomancer, just so long as you use point buy. I myself tried to make a specialist archetype of one, the Bombastamage, or Magus Dramatacus! However no one had any idea what I was saying.
Jonathan Goodyer Diplomancer, sounds like an interesting homebrew class. sorcerer/bard hybrid maybe?
I once convinced a skeleton to kill itself to capitalize on it's own life insurance.
I last session I drew something in celestial on a couple guards heads and told them that if they ever challenged us their brains would melt. They practically pissed themselves. Ironically next time we met them they were killed by a fire ball, so I guess I should've been rolling persuasion.
Yeah well i am the Cancermancer!
Amusingly similar thing happened in one of my D&D games. One player avoided getting caught by the guards by claiming to be an entertainer for Jeff's birthday (a random name he came up with on the spot). A few dice rolls later and all the guards are in this one room (and not at their posts where the rest of the party were) jumping out and yelling surprise as Jeff walked in. It was his best birthday yet.
How does this have 250 likes but no comments?
Beautuful 😂
Good on Jeff!
the most surprising thing is that it wasn't even Jeff's birthday
*roll dice*
What're you talking about? It's definitely Jeff birthday
"My name is Greg and I've killed a chicken with a man"
One of the greatest lines ever uttered
Also I like that after the roll, the world acknowledges that dude as Greg XD
Ok, I admitt, "someone killed Greg!" got me.
Me too
This is how you punchline.
Yep, perfect punchline right there.
"You face a swarm of Killer Bees™."
"I use diplomacy on them."
"The bees kill you."
"Damn."
Funnily enough, I was in a 3.5 campaign where I played a centaur samurai and did try to use Diplomacy on a swarm of bees. Except it worked perfectly. Until our sorceress cast a spell on me that caused me to freak out and agitate the swarm of bees, which I killed single-handed.
BurntL NOT THE BEEEEEES!
The swarm of bees.
tulicloure I'm going to assume yes.
"centaur samurai"
wat
When you invest all your stats on Charisma
Daffa Daniswara Kodrihan Bard for life babyyyy
Tiefling bard no less!!!
Bard, sorcerer, summoner, warmage... a lot of classes benefit from high charisma
Favorite dual class is Bardbarian
Personally, I always like Barboracle. That's great fun!
Oh God, I love the quick cuts of their faces during the rolls. Kyle's progression from nerve-wracked to cocky killed me.
"You did"
"How dare y- oh my god you're right I'm so sorry!"
The power of the dice knows no bounds.
This is a terrible video.
ROLLS 2
This is the best video of all time!
666th like
I've always wanted to make a character who was terrible at everything but always rolls to try to fail.
ENCHANTMEN wouldn’t quite work, critical failures usually kill you
@@Skullhawk13 if you critical fail to try to fail...
I kill myself
* Rolls 1 *
"You are now immortal"
"Oh my god, someone killed Greg!"
Holy shit, that was amazing.
Top notch work as always.
ye that killed me xD
"Oh my god, someone killed Yen!"
that single line made the whole thing 3x funnier xD
maybe Greg is his nickname and he doesn't want to admit it
Thanks so much! :D
As it happens, that's our favorite notch.
"There is no throne room! This is a democracy!"
"Really? THAT'S what toppled this?" 🤣
and this _after_ agreeing that the KING wanted to see his sword
@@bsmith6784 Could be a form of constitutional monarchy where the king makes no regular public appearances. So still a king and those who he appoints to figurehead positions, but no throne room.
DM: You stand in the throne room in front of the entire court and the king himself.
Bard: No.
DM: What?
Bard: I try to persuade everyone in the room that I am king and all of them are my slaves.
If the dm lets you get away with that I should be able to hide in plain sight at level 1.
DM: ok, roll the dice
Bard: *roll nat 20
DM; ha, you failed to convince them
Bard: but...
However, the king his pleased by your boldness and offer you to be his fool.
Bard: I refuse!
DM: the king see this as an insult and order your execution
@@benjaminthibieroz4155 I know this comment is rather old however there is another way this could play out after rolling a nat 20.
DM: You managed to convince them
Bard: great
DM: You are now stuck in a room full of your "slaves" most of which are heavily armed and see this as their opportunity to rid themselves of you, roll for initiative.
Because let's be real the King would be fairly heavily guarded and probably is able to fight himself.
DM: You see a troll guarding the door
P: I go to him and tell him i'm not dangerous and i want to talk about a human/troll alliance
DB rolls dice
DM: The troll starts to think. "well, the complicated political relations with humans will make it difficult to be accepted by our leaders. However if i..."
P: While he is distracted i stab him in the face.
Well, since trolls has 9999 HP left AND he can regenerate, I don't think it was 'sharp' decision!
You apparently rolled very poorly, because that joke didn't leave much of an 'impact' on me.
That wouldn't kill the troll. He isn't helpless so no coup-de-gras, and therefore the only gain behind your clever wordplay is you get to attack first... which is pretty much what would happen anyway if the troll even allowed you to approach to talk to in the first place.
I'm not too keen on this decision either. His defences were barely dulled.
There is no fire damage on the troll.
*There is no fire damage on the troll.*
*FLY, YOU FOOLS...*
That hat gives him +50 CHA, right?
Matt Dragoon SAO Abridged Reference!
David Diehl That hat can persuade anybody
David Diehl My first thought as well :D
Hate that hat!
"I HATE THAT GODDAMN HAT!"
The Viceroy being in charge of the king’s vices is hilarious. I’m going to use that one day.
He's also in charge of managing the king's Roys.
Lord Caelvanir, I can confirm that.
All those 234 men (and one woman with weird parents) named Roy?
Roy's our boy
Yes indeed.
This aught to make it to the community comments vid.
This is it, this is the secret to all of Kyle's success!
Not talent, not dedication. BUT A MAXED CHARISMA.
That falls under talent!
I didn't even know I had success. And apparently a lot of it!
"Wait, there is no throne room! This is a democracy!"
"Really? That's what toppled this?"
Absolute gold.
This reminds me of a time my friend was trying to lock pick a door in front of a guard. She bluffed that it was her room, and pretended like she was using a key. She failed the lock pick, but bluffed so damn well the guard was like "having trouble? need me to help?" so the guard helped her lockpick the door.
Every face player ever knows what this is like. most combat players have no Idea. I had a totem barbarian, who apparently had the god of luck concealed on his character sheet. why? Cause a guy with 3 charisma convinced a man with 9 wisdom to give him all the things and jump off a a bridge.
Brian Halphin One time I convinced a terrorist organization to become peaceful and open fire on Russia, or a Russian-like area. Our GM was awesome.
"become peaceful and open fire on Russia"
That doesn't sound very peaceful....
*Rolls a two*
I'm nominating you for the nobel peace prize!
Rnadomface gaming
I've never played D&D, but that is a D&D campaign I would play.
I was playing a Star Wars Role-Playing game and my Wookie Bounty-hunter with almost no communication skills was able to roll so well that he convinced a hardened weapons dealer to not only give me the stun grenade that I wanted for free but also to mess up and give me the rechargeable upgraded version by accident. In that very same session he failed trying to throw it twice despite his huge bonus to throwing weapons and knocked himself out in the final battle. (You always have a 1/6 chance to completely fail whatever you are trying to do. Leads to some hilarious stuff... like hugging a transformer box and electrocuting yourself... no comment.)
Me and my friends once played a campaign where you played as the villains, and had to murder everyone in the village without any one else noticing, kind of like Town of Salem. Charisma was literally the only important skill. You have no idea how many people we convinced to impale themselves, and then have their wives lynch their next door neighbours.
Also, D&D Sneak/ Stealth skills next please. "How did you suddenly appear in the middle of the room?" "I rolled a ten on stealth."
what game is that?
D&D ? The mother of all video games
pls just tell me
Dungeons and Dragons
what does that mean?
Seems kind of strange he believed in the king the entire time except in the end when he says it's a democraty.
*Dice roll*
Of course, it must be a constitutional democraty. But why wouldn't there be a throne room then?
*Dice roll*
Ahh, you don't need a throne room, because the king doesn't need to rule and everything is done by the ministers and the parliament.
Well, Poland Lithuania had an elected ceremonial monarch... Yes, really.
And a female king!
I will always fondly remember this as my first ever Door Monster video. TH-cam recommendations bot, I owe you a life-debt.
Reminds me of my very first D&D game. We where first level and had just entered a cave system. We found a couple of Kobolds, in what was obviously our first combat encounter. So obviously the rogue decides to try to talk to them first, and proceeds to roll a 20 on diplomacy. We proceeded to do very little fighting and a lot of bossing around of hapless Kobold minions that session.
Lol awesome
our second session had us fighting a giant wolf as our first boss. I personally really love wolves so i tried to calm it with a nature check (i was an eldrich so had high nature stat already). I rolled a 20 and made the boss my pet. The rest of my party was rather disappointed they didnt actually get to do anything
The Blind Sniper, let's get this on the Community Comments video
The Blind Sniper that's pretty damn awesome
one campaign i played in, we had a black guy who tried to roll for a pet during character creation. he kept saying different animals and rolling, but failing every time, then he finally got frustrated and said "okay, if i roll high on this one, i want the meanest, blackest, most racist slave ever made!" and bam, he rolled a nat fuckin 20. during the next session, DM introduced a psychopathic, murderous, giant black slave man that was given to the player's character for being the shop's 100th customer. the only thing the slave would say was "buka" (based off a joke the player had told in the past), and he immediately murdered a commoner on the street after the player took him out of the shop and let go of his chain lead for a second. much later in the campaign, turned out that the slave could speak perfect common the entire time and was just playing us all for fools and wanted to kill all our characters, but the player talked him into killing a shit ton of enemies before slaughtering our party. he took down like 10 enemies while in barbarian rage before finally getting beheaded by the paladin in our party, cus we had seen him as a threat all the way up until then.
Good times.
In my first D+D game our DM sent us into a cave where millions of rats 3+ feet in length wearing armor chased us -_-
I'm totally not watching this in the middle of finals because I finished my test already. *rolls a 15* You totally are suspiciously believing me.
rolls a nat 20 you are indeed not in the finals, I am forcing you to take mine instead
Well I actually rolled a d20 just to make things clear here. It's a 17 plus my +3 for insight which adds up to a total of 20. You sir wasting your precious time on the internet whilst you should be studying!...Just like me...
eidane Rolls a 11 Speech check. Well I am in the finals. I thought I wasn't though?
gergely.... or... *GREG-ERLY*
You don't have to roll for me to believe that :D My name is a variation of Gregory! Nice one!
A friend of mine once did a backflip and revealed a conspiracy to take over the world. In the same game, he convinced a legion of fish-people that he was their lord and saviour.
It was a good game
Something similar happened in the seventh adventure of The Oxventure Guild. Except with Cthulhu.
my name is Greg and ive killed a chicken with a man
shut up rob
@@sci_pain3409 *Your* name is Greg, and you killed a chicken with a man.
@@sci_pain3409
Rob Boss has come to save us
*bob no*
i just grabbed him by the feet and let gravity do the rest
No wonder he passed all those checks, that guy was so confused he forgot his actual name was Greg.
Great video, guys. It's really easy to connect with, no matter what tabletop you play!
Thank you! : )
We usually try for a decent amount of cross-edition transparency in these, so we're glad that paid off.
"and with a chicken no less"
reminds me of that one running gag in monty python where people get smacked by a rubber chicken
I was DMing some weeks ago for my friends, and the party entered the lair of a manticore. They were not that stealthy about it, so the creature confronted them face to face. She hissed, with a voice that sounded like a combination between a snake and an old woman: What are you doing in my lair? In response, our Hafling Bard, Pepe Bowie, answers her, mimicking her voice: What are you doing in OUR lair?!?!?!?!? PB rolled a critical hit. The manticore, a natural 1. She just stood there, protecting herself from the attacks of the rightful owners of the lair where she had entered, uninvited. We could no stop laughing for the entirety of the fight.
I remember using bluff one time to convince our cleric that he was at nearly full health after a battle. Like two games later his character was about to die when he snapped his head up and spoke abruptly, "Ya know, I don't feel like I'm really at full health"
Sword acupuncture, as it turns out, is quite the handy tool for diplomacy.
Also, where did you guys film this one? Quite the fancy schmancy location.
Sasquatch At His Computer If they shot this in San Antonio, it's not any of the universities i know. I feel like I have been to this location before, but I can't remember which church it is, just that it's a church.
I love the term "fancy schmancy" so freaking much!
it is possible they used green screen
It was, in fact, filmed at a church in San Antonio. We've had our eye on it as a potential filming location for a while, so we're glad we found a sketch that fit there so well.
Door Monster do you guys live in San Antonio?
XD this one killed me. the bullshit you can pull in D&D with diplomacy checks is awesome... you just need to find a dm that is ok with you solving things with a silver tongue instead of a sword
That's why the diplomacy skill is utter garbage. The rules aren't defined well enough for the DM to let you pass or fail without their explicit permission.
J.J. Shank a good DM will allow things within reason without feeling forced to obey strict definitive rules. the rules should be used as guidelines, not barriers. D&D is about imagination and creativity, it's not a cut-and-dried video game.
... just gonna point out, the rolls in this video would be bluff not diplomacy ...
If you want to pull of this kinda shit Shadowrun, plus it means you need realistically 2 players involved to pull it off. One hacker to spoof info and a face to bluff people into thinking... well anything you want
I don't think he used a silver tongue, but instead, the tongue of natural 20's (all possible roles you make for the next hour with a d20 are now instead Natural 20's)
I love how you can hear the sound of the dice rolls when it zooms in on their faces.
All these years later, and it's so sad that kind helpful man never got to give his sword to the king. So sad.
Wow how low did they make the skill checks on those?
... Or how many natural 20s did that guy get?!
Depends. If they're playing Pathfinder (which was mentioned in Free Speech), you don't generally set that DC by hand. It merely depends on the target creature's Charisma score, starting attitude and how outlandish the suggestion is. And there's a few Bard builds that will have no problem suggesting most things to most people.
A sensible GM would obviously call bullshit on some suggestions, but that wouldn't be nearly as funny.
Nah, just bard stuff.
+Nixitur It's stuff like that what makes diplomacy utter garbage. There's no such thing as a stubborn NPC. There's no rules except for what the DM arbitrarily decides. It's a complete free-for-all as to whether or not the DM lets you do this or not.
In 3.X, Bards can use Glibness, which gives them a +30 on bluff checks. www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/glibness.htm
This is, of course, totally broken, since getting someone to believe a total lie only adds 20 to the difficulty modifier... So I can actually picture a bard pulling this scenario off.
+J.J. Shank - Ah, I see that we have both confused Bluff and Diplomacy which work very differently. Diplomacy is mostly used to make people more friendly towards you and to suggest a course of action or get information. And there can absolutely be stubborn NPCs in that context as the DC depends on what the NPC sees as unimportant information or a sensible course of action and also what goes against their nature.
Bluff, which is used in this video, is to convince people of the truth of what you say and if the NPC doesn't _want_ to believe you, it gets harder. They also get a Sense Motive check to find out that you're lying which depends on how strong-willed the character is which, again, is a way to make them stubborn.
So, I'd say there are most definitely rules in at least Pathfinder to model stubborn NPCs by making the checks harder. If your definition of a "stubborn NPC" is that they won't ever accept any suggestions or lies by anyone, making all those checks entirely impossible, then I don't think that would be any fun at all.
And this is why I play 5th Edition.
But wait, why is there a king in this democracy, but no throne room?
He was talking about Elvis
Could be like the Holy Roman Empire where they elect a king for life.
A constitutional monarchy like we have in good old Britain Land.
That's what I thought, but doesn't the palace have some kind of throne room?
Ah, yes, you're right ^ ^'
Reminds me of when my party was trying to get into an embassy. The conversation between me and the guard went like this:
Guard: Your invitation, please.
Me: I don't need an invitation, the king himself called me here, have you not read the new orders?
(Rolls persuasion, success)
Guard: Of course sir, my bad. And who are the four men accompanying you?
Me: They are my lovers. I have a really high sex drive. The king allowed me to bring them with me, so I have someone to f*** me whenever I feel like it.
(Rolls persuasion, critical success)
Guard (after the GM and the other players had stopped laughing): That makes perfect sense. You may enter.
Yup, that's about how it goes.
Exact words once I start rolling low. "Really? That's what toppled this?"
I really like the dnd videos. You should do more. Funny story: I once had a game where a guy had so bad luck that he tripped and drowned in a 30cm(almost 1 feet) deep river.
Shadowdog TH-cam I once had a game where a guy died from choking on his cigarette. It was great. He doesn't play with us any more.
Ethan Bridges nice.
I once had a guy who died trying to open a door.
Glad you enjoy them! They're a ton of fun to come up with and just about as fun to film, so the chances of more in the future look pretty good!
Was he RPing as Federico Barbarossa?
This channel is so underrated
LavaLeader let word flow to others, I'm sure they'd love this as much as the rest of us
It's getting there.
How dare you say that this channel is overrated AND that you are the new president of Libya?
*Rolls a 20*
That moment when you randomly start rolling 20s for a while
Still perfect, after all this years
Okay, hands up. How many people wish they could do this?
I'm actually pretty good at lying! I once convinced someone I was an actual, literal wizard who could probe people's minds.
How? I must know.
I managed to convince the girl next to me in science that I had two pet Bengal Tigers. She wasn't that dumb either.
the twig "she wasn't that dumb either" sure
or maybe she just made you think she believed you so you'd shut up about it lul
flannel pillowcase OOOOOOHHHHHHHH
I make a funny and creative comment!
*rolls a 1*
Ah damnit...
Kogman Critical failure. The comment is so unfunny, you actually get banned from TH-cam. Shame.
Instead of usually typing, you slam your head on the keyboard and end up taking 1d4 damage. Also, you post your comment and it ruins your online reputation. It can't be edited or removed.
Your comment offends me. Consider yourself reported!
"Get the frig off the internet you insensitive offspring of a rusty tentacle spade!"
I attempt to make a reply that will help me keep at least some of my dignity!
*rolls another 1*
Oh for f-
Me when I accidentally vent in front of a crew mate: 0:10
We feel as though a dice roll for determining if someone believes you is a greater risk than necessary. Simply shooting them usually gives the same result
You're not wrong, but that would be somewhat less entertaining
The Collective A sentient and clearly evil tower discussing with the collective....I think I'll go work on my mech mental defense while you guys talk. By the way can I have a look at any mech tech you guys might have, I'll share mine.
We are curious to how advanced your tech may be
The Collective Heh, not that much. Plasma sabers, high power rifles and the likes. The Cores, I mean mechs are kinda basic but highly customizable. If you want we can make some production deals. I'm sure the Fire Control Systems would be interesting.
Those sound good but mind telling me where i can get me some crystals. We have something called the kojima particles but they are highly pollutive so we kinda wanna get alternatives. Ill have to check with guys in RnD for the lithium. Thanks
This is a great channel. THE BEST CHANNEL.
Yes, it is.
This is the comedy gold I subscribed for!
...and Boatmormonism.
I am part of Denouncing Venice...
Are you kidding me you're the guy that just roasted that one kid to death oh my god thank you for your service
"Oh my god. Someone killed Greg!"
That broke me.
So you convinced a guard the whole time that their was a king when there was in fact no king and it was a democracy.
That's because this kingdom has a similar government as the UK. A democratic constitutional monarchy.
This reminds me of a amazing campaign I was in last year were a member of our party was just garbage at negotiation checks and would always roll two 1s (fumble = failure) every time they came up. This happened every time we had to interact with nekogoblins and as a result we joked that she kept calling them racial slurs. This happened every single time without fail. It was pretty incredible.
I am finally going to be productive today!
*rolls a 1*
Oooh, new season of Survivor!
Relatable
i love that every time we cut to the close up of faces with dramatic sound effect it gets faster and faster
I must say, I have only recently found your channel, yet you all have left me with this sense of just... awe. You approach each of these skits with such purity, and yet that purity is laced with such a deep understanding of each source's... their core. Speaking with such a firm grasp on each quality they have.
I find it simply astounding how you can manage to have not only a deep understanding, yet somehow find the means to portray the absurdity of it all in such a... general, all encompassing manner. In this video, one doesn't need the absurd notion of how broken diplomacy can be in D&D in order be left floored by the final punch line.
It's such a careful balance you all can strike in your scripts that truly leaves me in utter awe. These skits are crafted and delivered so neatly, I can compare it only to masters of their craft. No one else could be able to weave every element into their creation. A seemingly perfect blend of understanding, passion, and genuineness. And yet each of your skits have these elements.
It's been such a treat discovering what you guys have created here, and I feel a sense of regret not discovering it all sooner.
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! We sure try for genuine engagement that leaves us with some level of accessible presentation in our writing, so it's gratifying to hear that that shines through for you. Most of all, we just love doing this and enjoy doing it all as best we can, however well that ends up being. : ) Welcome to the channel, and we're glad to have you now!
It's great knowing you're still going strong! I'm not usually one for these longer winded replies, especially for somewhere like TH-cam.
However, I felt so compelled to speak my mind here. Conceptually, you are one of if not the best channels I've
seen on the site! As I stated, masters of your craft.
It takes so much to bring it all together as you do, and so many others (while still enjoyable) fall short or end up relying on heavy handed references from time to time. It's refreshing to watch those who can let the source and their own humor stand on their own merits!
Ah, the negotiator.
Always have to push your luck... just one more dice roll...
This punchline is one of your best ever, I was expecting another simple "not again" when I saw Ian walk in, but you surprised me!
Hey thanks! :D
Door Monster, I have a rudimentary sketch idea for Dwarf Fortress, if I wrote it up, would you have time to look at it? I don't want to waste time if you can't.
When he said that he was there to deliver his sword to the king, Immediately thought of the video with the king opening his count room and wanting sword to decorate it with.
"Really? That's what toppled this?" Oddly enough, I've done something similar in shadowrun. And it ended with the guy realising "Wait a second, the CEO's head of the clown guard force that uses rubber chickens as a torture method's name is Steve not Paul!"
As you attempt to begin a productive day of work a wild video produced by the mystical wizards of white lightning barrels through a mysterious monster like door and begins to harass you, where upon a ferocious battle of wit, will and wonder ensues. As the battle wanes you feel a sense of foreboding as if this is not the end and so you choose to follow the only sane course of action and attempt to run away, unfortunately the wizardly agents of purest white lightning have somehow created an amalgamation of videos stacked upon one another of which you see no end and sent it through the doorway for others to behold the wonder and majesty of it in it's entirety, of course your wonder and amazement are diminished by your feeling of sadness wondering if that project of yours will ever be finished. You send a quick prayer to some nameless god of productivity, whom had faded long ago do to a lack of the aforementioned concept across the planes of existence, in the hopes that you could find the will to tear yourself away and flee from the horde of virulent videos. Of course you critically fail to break your gaze upon the majesty that is the wizard's creation and must now watch as your carefully planned day is unravelled by the insane machination of some being known only as Kyle the Hobo.
i just giggle at the thought of them just sitting there filming weird faces to put for dramatic purpose
His dispair for killing that chicken is very good acting.
This scenario seems familiar.
Maybe it's the architecture. Maybe it's the governmental structure.
Or maybe it's because we pump foreign diplomats so full of opiates that they are just as easy to influence.
Are you Russian?
Our form of government shifts as easily as the sands.
High Priest of Those Who Remain sooooo.... Illuminati or America?
I nearly lost it when the third guard knows that the second one is now called Greg. And with it I mean the delicious food I was eating :o
five years later, and I can say, I've watched this so much, I can't recall how many times...
he's a rogue with reliable proficiency and expertise in deception and persausion
This channel is criminally undersubscribed!
What should of happened, Viceroy: No you're under arrest Greg: oh no I am
that's what glibness does for you in 3.5.
This was the video that got me into Door Monster a few years ago and I still keep coming back to it. It's such a classic.
Just tried this and I convinced a goblin that he killed his friend and he killed himself, my DM is evil
Wooo! Loving the D&D skits
Awesome! We enjoy making 'em!
Cmon you guys are so close to 100K YOU CAN DO IT.
This channel is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life. Thank you. I've watched so many videos in so little time... I think I'm addicted now.
"My name isn't Greg!"
"Someone killed Greg!"
XD
"Slashed him with a rapier."
That sounds difficult, seeing as how rapiers are piercing weapons.
Rapiers have edges.
In my very first D&D session my Wizard made a fake Fireball and convinced the town guard it was real.
By far my favorite out of all of your clips - and you have so many great ones! xD
This is the life story, of Greg, as told by Charisma Mcgee
A long time ago, 5 years, he was born into the butt sorcerers of the kingdom Totallyreal. He was lauched out of a catapult to see if Greg could fly, but in doing so, he shot lazers out of his eyes and murdered about a trillion butt sorcerers in the process. When he landed, he was a fully grown adult with a goatee and fake wig. He joined the Democratic King's Guard alongside his good friends, Big Fist and Garret Meyer and began his duties patrolling the Courtyard of Despair when he saw a chicken sitting next to a man with a top hat. He quickly rushed over, picked up the chicken, and through the genetic butt magic hit beat the man over the head with the chicken 6000 times, killing both him and the chicken. When he came to, he was patrolling to find a rugged man help move the body and stopped to question him. After a few questions, he realized what he had done and was put to death by the same rugged man. He was found dead not seconds after for his crimes against chickens, top hats, and butt sorcerers. He will be honored by his parents, Vinea Column and Tile-r Column in their memory.
5 years later, and this is by far my best work in backstory bullshitting. I mean damn, I even made it work in a DnD context where the story is so goddamn asinine that I could see in the heat of the moment our rugged man would come up with it.
I'm going to dislike this video! *rolls 1* Damn it, I clicked like and subscribe buttons.
Buttons? you subscribe more than once!? That isnt even possible.. sorta
1 like button + 1 subscribe button = 2 buttons. But yeah I guess I should've been more clear about that.
trueNgt48 Critical failure. You end up liking, subscribing, and donating $50 to their Patreon.
Two years later, and it's still one of my absolute favorite videos here on TH-cam.. I wish I could give more likes.
DM: You can't roll 20's ALL NIGHT!
*rolls another 20*
DM: ... I guess you can?
What was the direction on those faces?
Kyle 1:55 Act like you farted in real life, and are making an in game diplomacy check that you didn't.
John Lienhart, I actually did.
"King"
"No throne room"
"democracy"
Ain't adding up man...
Greetings from the UK, a democracy with a monarch and no throne rooms
This was amazing. Started watching some of your videos recently as they show up in my recommended, but this definitely made me subscribe.
i think this is my favorite video of yours. So excellent in every way
Had to like first before watching of course
What Grod awful person doesn't?
Same :D
Groot awefull person.
I don't think people are particularly fond of being upvoted just on principle instead of being upvoted on the merit of their work. Kind of makes a high upvote counter less of an achievement.
AntsanParcher
You can always retract the like if you change your mind.
Pretty much the experience of every Bard player ever :P
Probably my favorite of your guy's videos. Rewatched countless times
I don't know what you guys call this type of humor, but it's the best thing ever. Thank you. I've been binge watching for hours.
