If a character dies and you're a permanent GM, you should save the sheets somewhere the players will never look. Then once you've built up quite a collection of dead players, here are a few stories I've wanted to try out. Kill a demon in a 'good' plane that is unfairly torturing good souls. Travel to an 'evil' plane to rescue good souls sent there by accident. Perhaps a demon is using the souls of the evil plane they control to attack a good plane. Then for those good and evil souls, use the characters who were those respective alignments. I've been wanting to do something like this for so long, to watch the now seasoned players battle the first party they ever made, to fight against their characters they want forgotten, to remember the good times back when they had no clue what a saving roll was, and to remind them of past adventures they loved. Perhaps, for a feels trip, bring back characters made by someone who left the group long ago.
Make sure to keep the personalities in tact if you're able. Can't wait until it's time for my friend to fight his first character where all he did was use cleave whenever he had the chance!
Not the first time they've been clever with the background pictures. I think in the Abjuration video they talked about Abjuration mages not being damage dealers while they showed a picture of Mercy from Overwatch
My group just burns the character sheets of dead characters and save the ashes in Pringles cans. Rest in spaghetti never forgeti. Who could forget that time one of us died falling off a rock but was able to rewind time so that another player could shoot his clothing to stop the fall only to then die from the arrow that was meant to save him. Or the time we ventured through an entire dungeon and our elven ranger opened a chest and died instantly from a death needle. Good times. Now that I think about it the people I play with while not total murder hobos are just complete idiots and it's awesome.
I had one player tie a rope to a javelin and throw it at a dragon. He refused to let go of the rope and proceeded to be dropped from 80 feet into a wooden shack. He died.
When I was little I wanted to play D&D with my older brothers and their friends, but they didnt want me to play; after our mother told them to let me play just one time, they made me a character, then immediately killed them in the very first encounter just two minutes after we started to play, cut off his head, and carried it around with them for the rest of the campaign as I cried in my room. That was my first D&D experience.
When the party is screaming at you out of game that they can save you and intervene in the duel you got yourself mixed up in but you're a neutral good Ancestral Barbarian and you know damn well that dying in combat is a straight ticket to Valhalla.
*pushes up glasses, straightens pocket protector* actually Vikings quite often pillaged and colonized the Scottish shoreline. Meaning that, the Viking funeral could have quite conceivably been witnessed to the hum and drone of the great pipes on more than a few occasions.
*straightens bow tie* now listen here! it is indeed fact that vikings raided scottish shore lines and indeed the bagpipes where used even before 1000 BC, but this is greek and sumerian origin! the first recorded use of scottish bag pipes was from 1547 at the battle of pinkie cleugh! And even then, Alba an àigh was written in 1950! dont you dare challenge me to a nerd-off!
If you're a Zealot barbarian you can be revived without a material sacrifice so your wizard, Cleric, or druid can go he's alive again and bam you're back in the game
The Ascending Apothicon an elf? ....well, that is not suspicious. Not even a little -.- Well, i remember when my half-elf was raped by a werebear.... and then he took him to his vilage of werepeople...... luckly, my party came to rescue me because we had a really op ranger ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Why always elves, though? XDDD
If that's true, I probably know your DM. Your dm wouldn't happen to have a two foot halfling with an extra six and a half feet of pure confidence, named Pompadillious Pomerain Pompom Depaldrin the Paladin with his trusty weapon Randal the Rapey rapier?
An Australian Gamer the clecric of our group was able to heal me luckily.. bc i wouldnt be able to get over my character's death tbh 😭❤ thanks for asking 🌟
I'm in the same spot and don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do, my character was carried away into the sky by imps and they were meant to bring him to some secret devil base of pain and death, he has like under 5 hp IT'S BEEN 5 WEEKS AND THE DM JUST WENT ON HOLIDAY AND SHE WON'T BE BACK FOR AN OTHER 6!
Bearer of the curse… Seek souls. Larger, more powerful souls. Seek the King, that is the only way. Lest this land swallow you whole… As it has so many others
In the first campaign I dmed, I forgot to give my player xp, and since they were a newbie too, they didn't really notice. So, when I walked her into her first advanced fight, she died. I ended up resurrecting her for the bad guys, but she died after that to the good guys. Needless to say, I felt kind of stupid when I realized what'd gone wrong...
I usually GM with destiny points. At the moment we create a character, the player has to roll a d4 -1. Wich gives the number of times his/her deity is willing to step up and bring him/her back from the deads.of course, destiny points cant be used for suicidal/totally reckless characters (unless their god wants them to)
Professor last session we had a bit of a mystery, we had to find a demigod. I drew the Vizier or whatever (a question for the DM). I used it for a very good purpose. The demigod's hammer was called Mjolnir
Nicolas Volaski I know you're not actually dead bro. But for the purposes of the campaign you kinda are. I'm having my players roll new characters and after they recover their old characters they're gonna have to choose which one to stick with.
Probably my favorite video you have made. After seeing online horror stories, I wanted to explain to my characters, "no, don't get it twisted. If you engage in risky behavior, the consequence is usually making a new character." Do not count on getting resurrected with no setback or complication like it's nothing. Death matters. And your party may get tpk'd in the process. So for me this is a great, concise, apt, and humorous resource to start the conversation. ✌🏼🧡
I've jus found this channel, & since then I have been binge watching all your videos. I love your shit, & your one of the few people who really get d&d. Keep up the good work!
*nathan laleff* Well then you get to experience death, probably excruciatingly painful, only to reawaken and realise you don't even get this final escape from all that suffering. Slowly loosing purpose and sense of self until there is nothing recognisable left of you to send to an afterlife and perhaps even then you will be trapped going mad and hungering. In time your body is so burned out, broken and withered that you are unable to come back any more, but If you are unlucky enough to endure, you will end up being unable to find death again. Slowly as your body dries out and goes brittle you will eventually go stiff and unable to move. Perhaps even then your hollowed mind persists, lost, broken, trapped.
Holy shit just discovered your channel and this is MASTERFUL! I punched subscribe so hard my finger punched through my phone. I’m not sure how I’m still able to type this, and I’m bleeding pretty bad; not BAD bad but it’s like skinning your knee but your whole finger instead.
And once lord Bottom was fully reformed and looked around the cleric asks: how do you feel? The now conscious resurrected Lord Bottom replies: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH waking up pretty much the entire land
In the campaign I'm currently doing with friends, when we die, one of our party members has a special object (I don't remember if it's an official artefact in D&D or custom) that lets you burn it's pages to reincarnate someone on the go in a new random race or outright resurect them. although the one in our party who ends up needing it the most cannot take the second option because every time his body is already mashed potatoes at this point.
My second ever D&D experience was fifteen minutes long. I was playing with no party, just my friend as DM, and I was using a pre-made character sheet. This was a long time after my first experience and I’d watched a lot of TH-cam videos of D&D campaigns, so I had an inkling if what I was doing. I thought I was playing pretty smartly. I’d bought some beer and saved it to use as wound disinfectant later (wasn’t sure how serious/realistic of a DM my friend was) and I was planning on robbing a guy’s house later, but first I had to go check out some castle ruins. I tried to inspect the area, and rolled really low. So I walked up to the gates, and a giant worm creature burst out of the ground! I rolled low initiative, so it got the first turn. Then I rolled a low saving throw. Since I was using a pre-made character, I had one HP. My armor class of 8 didn’t save me.
My people are really attached to their characters and I'm planning a long term story so I came up with a system where if they fail the death rolls they roll a d20 and based on that roll and the context they lose equipment, get a stat debuff, and have to be carried around by the group until you find a qualified healer like a doctor or a city priest. There's also a slim chance they end up with a badass scar that adds two to intimidate checks.
one of my party got killed after a orc threw a dead orc at him. he was already just about dead after getting cleaved by a greataxe the orc was just icing on the cake
my first and currently only death, my Dwarf Paladin fell down a well, and my friends kept throwing the dead goblins down it. I tried to climb out, but the combination of heavy armor and constant Goblin rain, i kept falling and ended up drowning. They did fish me out and bring me back after they killed all the goblins
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW CLOSE TO HOME THE REFERENCES HIT. My character was a loner who loved to run off and split the part. He opened a random door and there were two fish-person cultists there, and he got pitchforked to unconsciousness with a crit. Then the thing rolls a second attack to try to kill me. Another crit. So I have two failed death saves. My turn comes around. I roll a nat 1 on a death save. It was the hardest death ever. And I LOVED that character, he was a Dragonborn cleric named Moe Grady, he faught exclusively using a frying pan- he was so cool.
When my group plays and a character dies the player must handover their sheet to the DM, which then the DM proceeds to rip it up as everyone else chants the death chant. Which goes; The hero has fallen, They're now gone and dead, We never play the dead again, Or their death would be in vain, We never play the dead again, They're now dead and gone, Give yourself to Death as we sing this morbid song. Yea my group is an odd bunch ( but that includes me as well).
Yes, make a new character. Instead of having a veritable army of pre-made characters ready to go at a moment's notice. Because, who would do that? *hides massive stack of papers*
It would be really cool if when you go to the afterlife, the only way to get your body back and return to the world of the living is by surviving individual trials for each of the outer plains and you’re only given minimal stats along with minimal gear quality, and once you clear the last trial, you get to choose a method of resurrection along with where you are resurrected as long as it doesn’t kill or harm any living thing in the process. I really don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ve never even played D&D (wish I did though). I’ve really just been watching a lot of videos on it and it sounds like fun.

House Rule at most of the games I attended, GM gets privilege to copy your character sheet(s), and (usually) returns the thing (minus inventory of course) so you can "recycle" for a "new character"... That part's usually just to save time, since no one wants to wait it out for you to completely generate something out of "scratch" to rejoin the campaign, and you don't want to "miss out"... The GM's privilege allows for the "regeneration" or "undeath" effects as the game might need/want(?) and for possible future NPC's... Character sheet collections are good for that. Sometimes, we would carry-over for PC's to go "wraith"... In this scenario, the deceased becomes a ghost, and the rest of the party has to figure out the pertinence while the GM is obliged to be vague and screw with everyone (deceased PC included)... It usually ended up in hilarity. Ghost PC's have to spend so much time and effort passing notes to the GM to interact with the game from "the other side" and literally nothing gets to the rest of the party un-scathed... So yeah, that's fun too (when done well)... lolz. :o)
In a session I played I got killed by a max level goblin who butt raped my dead body. I convinced the DM to make a ghost and he agreed, he asked me what my plan was to come back was and I said "I'll come back as a ghost and infect another player's body and become a little voice in his head that advises him
I’m in a interesting campaign. There are 4 groups but only 3 are active now, the reason for that is that one group is for if your character dies, they automatically join that group as part of the Dark Lords Army, my character calls him Uncle. Now I’m not died yet and so far no one else has died ether. Its just a little fun fact our DM gave us, especially since the groups play on certain so knowing a head of times that is you die in your Monday group you come back and play on Saturday fighting members of your former allies and the other group.
My Kobold Character came back to life so many times, he's practically undead. Yet has not been killed by any. Granted it was close so many times, it was always other creatures dealing the killing blow and a cleric or deal with a god that brings him back. Each time he comes back he just spends a good day of... Being in pain as the cleric patches up his previous fetal wounds. Trust me when I say, he's a young one in Kobold years. And is most likely going to keep coming back for a long time.
If a character dies and you're a permanent GM, you should save the sheets somewhere the players will never look. Then once you've built up quite a collection of dead players, here are a few stories I've wanted to try out.
Kill a demon in a 'good' plane that is unfairly torturing good souls.
Travel to an 'evil' plane to rescue good souls sent there by accident.
Perhaps a demon is using the souls of the evil plane they control to attack a good plane.
Then for those good and evil souls, use the characters who were those respective alignments. I've been wanting to do something like this for so long, to watch the now seasoned players battle the first party they ever made, to fight against their characters they want forgotten, to remember the good times back when they had no clue what a saving roll was, and to remind them of past adventures they loved.

If I learned anything from the hit film Darkest Dungeons, you get depressed and hang yourself when your first character dies
"May he have a good journey to the great re-roll in the sky...we'll burn his charactet sheet honourably" - Red Mage
This video was gold! Best comedy is always when you're talking about something that is true, lol!
my first and currently only death, my Dwarf Paladin fell down a well, and my friends kept throwing the dead goblins down it. I tried to climb out, but the combination of heavy armor and constant Goblin rain, i kept falling and ended up drowning.
They did fish me out and bring me back after they killed all the goblins
YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW CLOSE TO HOME THE REFERENCES HIT. My character was a loner who loved to run off and split the part. He opened a random door and there were two fish-person cultists there, and he got pitchforked to unconsciousness with a crit. Then the thing rolls a second attack to try to kill me. Another crit. So I have two failed death saves. My turn comes around. I roll a nat 1 on a death save. It was the hardest death ever. And I LOVED that character, he was a Dragonborn cleric named Moe Grady, he faught exclusively using a frying pan- he was so cool.
Its 2021 and the Majula theme immediately caught me.
When my group plays and a character dies the player must handover their sheet to the DM, which then the DM proceeds to rip it up as everyone else chants the death chant. Which goes;
The hero has fallen,
They're now gone and dead,
We never play the dead again,
Or their death would be in vain,
We never play the dead again,
They're now dead and gone,
Give yourself to Death as we sing this morbid song.
Yea my group is an odd bunch ( but that includes me as well).
That Majula theme really caught me off guard.
Music in the opening and end is the theme that plays in Majula from Dark Souls 2
Yes, make a new character. Instead of having a veritable army of pre-made characters ready to go at a moment's notice. Because, who would do that?
*hides massive stack of papers*
@Riley Harper I printed out a whole stack of 'empty' character sheets of my own design at the office printer xD
It would be really cool if when you go to the afterlife, the only way to get your body back and return to the world of the living is by surviving individual trials for each of the outer plains and you’re only given minimal stats along with minimal gear quality, and once you clear the last trial, you get to choose a method of resurrection along with where you are resurrected as long as it doesn’t kill or harm any living thing in the process. I really don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ve never even played D&D (wish I did though). I’ve really just been watching a lot of videos on it and it sounds like fun.
First thing I hear, Dark Souls 2 Majula theme. Pleasant
Ayyy that ds2 music in the intro
The Dark Souls bits were a nice touch.
1:56 AAAAWWWL
CRAWL
AAAAWWWL
CRAWLING in my CRAWL
These CRAWLS they will not CRAWL
CRAWL is how I CRAWL
CRAWLING what is CRAWL
There's something inside me that CRAWLS beneath the surface
CRAWLING… CRAWLING
This lack of self-control I CRAWL is never CRAWLING
CRAWLING, I can't CRAWL...
To find myself again
My walls are CRAWLING in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So inse-
CRAAAAAAAWWWWLING
CRAAAAAWLIIIIIING IIIIIIN MYYYY SKIIIIIN
"Viking send off" Proceeds to immediately have bag pipes play in the background
Aaaagh, the music, DSII. So many beautiful memories? Why did I ever stop after my 30th time attempting a no bonfire no death run?
i've been playing baldur's gate 3 with little prior lore knowledge and wanted to know the real stakes of death in this world since revival is so easy in this game. this video was perfect, 10/10 teacher no notes
That dark souls 2 music at the beginning hit some deep feels.
Dark souls 2!
Going on a cosmic pilgrimage to escape a likely deserved fate, is the most warlock thing i've ever heard.
Majula theme in the beginning hits so hard in the feels D:
House Rule at most of the games I attended, GM gets privilege to copy your character sheet(s), and (usually) returns the thing (minus inventory of course) so you can "recycle" for a "new character"... That part's usually just to save time, since no one wants to wait it out for you to completely generate something out of "scratch" to rejoin the campaign, and you don't want to "miss out"...
The GM's privilege allows for the "regeneration" or "undeath" effects as the game might need/want(?) and for possible future NPC's... Character sheet collections are good for that.
Sometimes, we would carry-over for PC's to go "wraith"... In this scenario, the deceased becomes a ghost, and the rest of the party has to figure out the pertinence while the GM is obliged to be vague and screw with everyone (deceased PC included)... It usually ended up in hilarity. Ghost PC's have to spend so much time and effort passing notes to the GM to interact with the game from "the other side" and literally nothing gets to the rest of the party un-scathed... So yeah, that's fun too (when done well)... lolz. :o)
Imagine dying in real life and this video plays.
I was expecting Majula... the intro hit harder than we all probably expected
Excellent music choice in the music
I LOVE the subtle nod to VaatiVidya
In a session I played I got killed by a max level goblin who butt raped my dead body. I convinced the DM to make a ghost and he agreed, he asked me what my plan was to come back was and I said "I'll come back as a ghost and infect another player's body and become a little voice in his head that advises him
Subbed. Love this content. Gonna finish the How To Play guides?
I feel like the "how to play" series is more meme than actual guide.
I’m in a interesting campaign. There are 4 groups but only 3 are active now, the reason for that is that one group is for if your character dies, they automatically join that group as part of the Dark Lords Army, my character calls him Uncle.
Now I’m not died yet and so far no one else has died ether. Its just a little fun fact our DM gave us, especially since the groups play on certain so knowing a head of times that is you die in your Monday group you come back and play on Saturday fighting members of your former allies and the other group.
Ya head those bagpipes? Yeah, that'ss the beautiful wake up sound for people at camp. AAAAHHHG
This was so funny! I should watch more of these!
OMG, your depiction of the sea of virgins was hilarious.
I wanna do the viking setoff for all my favorite character.
I love the majula music at the start
The narration and feel of the video sounds like one of those videos you watch in school or jail lol
My Kobold Character came back to life so many times, he's practically undead. Yet has not been killed by any. Granted it was close so many times, it was always other creatures dealing the killing blow and a cleric or deal with a god that brings him back. Each time he comes back he just spends a good day of... Being in pain as the cleric patches up his previous fetal wounds. Trust me when I say, he's a young one in Kobold years. And is most likely going to keep coming back for a long time.
2:30 did anyone else get the kid icarus joke??? Oh just me??? Ok
(Dark pit's japanese name is black pit btw if you didn't know)
That souls intro music is orgasmic :@
Respect for using the majula theme
