Ah reminds me of a Kobold, Tiefling combo. Kobold ranger was called Ino of the Outback, always wore a safari hat and wanted to pet every animal in existence no matter how deadly. Tiefling Fighter, was Vi-Vi. Who spent most her time rescuing Ino from the jaws of creatures and keeping her out of trouble. They had many hilarious shenanigans together. Including up to both riding a Tarrasque because Ino wanted to pet it.
@@fleshdadbot6852 So it was meant to be a plot tool to get Ino and Vi-Vi to escape to another kingdom and progress the actual story. They weren’t meant to fight it obviously, it’s a Tarrasque lol, but the moment they heard the footsteps and Ino rolled a perception check to see if she knew what it was and succeeded. The player stood up yelling, “I GO TO SET MYSELF UP TO PET THE TARRASQUE!” As me and the other player burst out laughing thinking it’s a joke, but reality hit going “Oh, wait that’s part of her character to pet all creatures….crap” so tried as I might, I couldn’t deter her from trying. I gave athletics and climbing checks to get into a tower of sufficient height. I tried to have guards stop her. Anything I could think of. Meanwhile Vi-Vi is chasing after her as usual screaming for her to stop. Until the Tarrasque comes into range and starts destroying the town. Ino jumps off the tower and lands on the Tarrasque as Vi-Vi rolled a nat 20 to grappling hook onto it. So they both end up on top of this monster. Ino happy as can be, while Vi-Vi is about to shit herself. So they rode it during its rampage and got off once it was done. Ending up with Ino watching it go off in the distance saying, “I hope to pet you again someday” as Vi-Vi yells at her, “You psychotic Kobold. I swear to the nine hells I don’t know why I’m friends with you.” Ino: “Cause I’m an adorable bean.” After we got done laughing I just flat out told the player, “Please don’t do that again.”
@@fleshdadbot6852 they had many similar shenanigans. Even at one point Ino literally being swallowed whole by a Giant Toad and the player having Ino just yell out, “It’s a lot softer in here then I imagined.” As Vi-Vi is desperately trying to kill it in time before Ino is killed.
@@fleshdadbot6852 I have never been so cautious about having players fight animals or any kind of creature as I was during that campaign having a damn Kobold Steve Irwin running around.
More of this. The stories that constantly talk about rolls are great but this is what it's about. The story is so much more important. Please get more videos like this one.
"Ughhhh~ my arms is soooo tired from polishing your shaft all day... hmh. The LEAST you could do is say thank you~" *giggles* Paladin: "You know it hasn't felt and looked this good in many years. You really DO have a knack for polishing hard shafts.." *Nods approvingly, camera flashing toward the polearm being incredibly shiny.*
Me and a buddy were inquisitors on a D&D version of the plane of Innistrad (MTG plane, basically all of gothic and classic horror tropes). I was a Battle Priest, and he was a Half blooded vampire. The church sent us because we were the most effective at our jobs. Also the church weren’t fond of us because of our unorthodox nature. My character had the symbol of avacyn’s collar tattooed on his face like Paul Bettany from Priest. My partner was an incomplete vampire. We kept each other in check and solved the really rough jobs. We were basically the men in Black. However the “church” also made us bring along a new guy for “field training” his name was Dan, From accounting..... Needles to say shenanigans ensued.
Played in a 3 person campaign last year. We didn't cover all the bases and none of us had a high intelligence score, but the game itself ran very tightly while it lasted. 3-5 is ideal imo
I ran a campaign for 3 people for a while before we added in 3 more, for a total of 6. I miss the smaller days, each person had more investment in the story.
@@AdamAtYourService I've ran for groups of 3,4,5,6,7, and 8 in the past. Out of all of them, I think 5 was my favorite group size. I cut my teeth on a 6 man group and thought that was the way it was meant to be for ages, but I definitely like it better with a smaller group.
Nearly any combination of 5 Characters to a group gives you enough relative overlap and still the variety needed to be "solid" as a group, and yet small enough that everyone has an investment in story, RP, and mechanics of combat... NOBODY is unimportant, and nobody HAS to carry the load at any point... 3 is nearly intimate, but some adjustments need made or a Campaign either deteriorates to misadventures or Monty Hall... It's still do-able, just with some adjustments... AND generally, an intimately small group makes for a much heftier investment per Player for the story and RP.... There's NOTHING wrong with adjustments... They should be small and subtle, like Temples relatively available and healing relatively cheap, or even "free" more or less... especially in "emergencies"... That sort of thing. ;o)
In my experience have a small team of players you meet with leads to the best role playing since it let you try things that typically leads to problems In my case playing as openly evil characters and using "it's what my character would do" and everyone agrees its all in good fun
The dynamic duo reminds me of The Untamed, a Chinese drama about one upstanding cultivator and a cheeky misunderstood cultivator that had a donkey called apple
I love buddy cop fun. I played legend of the five rings and we created the best buddy cop game teamup I ever had. Perhaps one day I'll share it with you on this channel.
I LOVE THIS STORY!!! You're right, this could, if written properly, could make a WONDERFULLY HILARIOUS video! Just think of stringing several of these types of encounters along with just one little 'clue' at each place that, after the third encounter, the paladin's god sends him a vision of a particular place to go to help and, while there, these three 'clues' help the paladin to figure out what to do to solve the situation in flashbacks.
Glory stories are so much more refreshing than RPG Horror stories. horror stories have their places and all that. but i feel like this channel is at its best doing cool stories like this one, the necromancer saga or the one about a father showing his daughter the game he loves.
god I remember having a group of like 8 people and it was not fun because there was no time to RP with others because there were too many people who are all waiting for their turn for it. Huge props to any DM that can pull off large groups. It takes mature and generous players too. 4 really is the golden number for a party. going past 6 is stretching it.
I, too, enjoy small Player Counts in Campaigns (maximum of 6) since it encrourages a lot of time spent on genuine RP. It is the other half of D&D, after all.
Me (Goliath Barbarian aka Korg) and my friend (Halfling Rogue aka Tree) are currently shipwrecked and have to now deal with a possibly pirate infested island. So far we've only encountered 3 goblin pirates. We've already had funny moments so I hope this seemingly incompatible duo have a wild ride.
Reminds me of the time we had a fiendlock in the group who "abducted" the paladin to a werebear camp. Now, the body of the tiefling being used by the warlock was merely a vessel and the player rolled a wisdom saving throw every time the character went to sleep. Fail, fiend takes over. The paladin has an intelligence of 4. FOUR. He never caught on to this obviously evil guy being obviously evil and always thought that's just his good buddy saying funny things.
Reminds me of my first dnd sessions with friends when my friend and I were the strongest in the group, somehow I was able to one hand a long sword with a sheild my friend however thought sticking with a forged brass knuckles will work well, queue my friend and I fighting in the frontline, him finding a random sheild and make a sheild slam crushing an enemy's skull in between our sheilds, later gathering intel with the party from a scout and we both began playing bad cop good cop, with his high charisma stat he preffered to initimadate so you could already see the rolls, that was the greatest session I've had the pleasure of playing in
This reminds me of a small group campaign i was in. We had accidentally created murder hobo characters, so our dm took control of them and our new characters were sent out to hunt em. Afterwards our dm added a dmpc and the next few sessions were amazing! I played a locathah drunk monk who had to keep drinking to stay hydrated and shit faced, the other player was a half-orc hexblade warlock who let his sword do all the fighting while he floundered through life and our dmpc was a grizzled dragonborn fighter who played a father-figure role to our two young dumbasses. We travelled, partied, drank and shared some amazing moments.
My funniest story is probably when we had just started a level 1 campaign and only 2 ppl were actually there (excluding the DM) and we just went with it. Within the first hour our fighter has run into a cliff, and a tree, he Licked a dead body, and drank black ooze, both of which he succeeded his save on, after which he proceeded to run into 2 trees, for which I broke his nose (on accident) then fixed it with lay on hands. Our second hour consisted of me busting down the door to an innocent villagers home while they were eating dinner and our fighter killing a townswomen and dragging her body into the tavern……. We are the best duo don’t lie
A friend of a friend who played a 3.5 Star Wars game using a system I had written wanted a HP game, and I couldn't find a module, so I wrote one up. We only had the player who wanted the game, the friend who introduced us, and me. Because the party had no designated 'tank' as my friend played a Hufflepuff who loved Magical creatures,and the friend who requested the game played a Hufflepuff potions prodigy who was awful at martial magic, I ended up rolling up a Ravenclaw metamorph duelist who wasn't the most effective character because she was borderline insane, and also had a habbit of rushing head first into all manner of dangerous situations, which her best friend, the Hufflepuff magizoologist, followed her into as the best absolute loyal friend anyone could ask for. Each character ended up with books worth of story arcs, background notes and all round lore. That campaign was set in the marauders era, went into the first wizarding war, and ended with James and Lily's deaths and voldemort's first defeat. We played a second campaign with the children of those characters, set in Harry's school years, and a third and (so far) final campaign with their grandchildren. By the end, with all the new things added, and the effects our characters had on the world, JKR would not recognise her own IP if we showed her our story notes. Maybe one day we'll return to that universe. If we don't my character from that first campaign, created to fill a hole in the party, which took on a life of her own, will always still be my favourite ever character I've created, and I'll still keep trying to recapture the feelings from that RPing opportunity. And I can honestly say that with all the controversy around JK in recent years, being able to treat our little universe as headcannon kept my HP fandom alive. Currently, I'm running another small group through the Doctor Who RPG as an AU Doctor and companions.
I'm in a 2 person campaign (we each play 3 characters to make a 6 man party). Made all my characters fighters with different subclasses to make running them easier.
Dynamitc duos. I think my personal favorite one from my D&D history of playing is the time I played Zalidos, a Wood Elf Paladin, and somehow I ended up with a Drow Warlock brother-in-law named Sorebac due to me and his sister named Yeldinna hooking up from Wizard shenanigans . The funnier part was that we did not know of each other's existence as we were both attempting to save the lady and beat the ever living crap out of the Wizard that was wanting to use her as a sacrifice. Yeldinna: "Zalidos! You're here!" Zalidos: "Be right there beloved! Just need to slap this -" Sorebac: "Wait a second. You're the guy dating my sister!" Yeldinna: "Elder Brother!?" Zalidos: "You're Yeldi's estrange brother?" Sorebac: "Why else would I be here?" Zalidos: "The wizard...?" *looks at the smoulder remains of the wizard that took a 4th level Divine Smith and 5th Level Cone of Cold* Yeldinna: "I never thought I'd see the day... wait, brother. This man is my husband!" *Yeldinna immediately runs over to hook up my arm to hers* Sorebac (Growling): "I suppose you could have done worst. At least he fights well enough."
We did this once the whole group ended with like 6 people in the party. But it started with only 3, me and two others, and most of the time it was only me and one other person. It was some of the most fun I had being able to roleplay as much as I could and eventually we had a DMPC who was an awakened Donkey sorcerer. He was my best friend in the game.
We bought a donkey to carry our water and I joked the DM should roll his stats. Well he ended up with 11INT and earned himself his own homebrew magic item for being the only one to land a hit on our higher-up that was training us when we returned to the guild. Ended up with a few magic items of his own so imagine a water-walking triple speed donkey with a dire wolf pelt that could speak. He was the best.
I'm in the progress of playing through my first DND campaign (I only had some past experience with pathfinder when I was young) and I can certainly see why people normally do small groups because its pretty chaotic due to us having around 6-8 players per session with atleast 10 PCs currently introduced
I DM a campaign with a Dragonborn Sorcerer named Zeke. Zeke was a scholar of a prestigious institution who was kicked out for ignoring his work. He is a raging narcissist who thinks he’s above everyone and believes that the world “needs his beauty.” His partner, a Moon Elf named Inverna, is a stubborn, sarcastic Fighter that hates orcs after a group killed her family and scarred her face. She is frustrated to no end with Zeke’s ego, even in the moments when she’s trying to be nice. The only reason they adventure with each other is because their abilities complement each other and Inverna rescued Zeke from a fatal encounter in his first quest. Together they’re like an Archer/Lana pair that barely manages to get the job done with their constant bickering.
I played in a oneshot as part of a party of three. We were told to make an evil alignment character and the plan was we were spreading our cult. Enter the Lawful Evil Paladin (my character) and two Chaotic Evil Barbarians. My character became the party face as the other two either terrified or enraged the villagers we came across. My character was very tired of the barbarians' bullshit, but as fate would have it she had a whopping 3 in Constitution (thanks dice gods) and needed them so she didn't die to monsters on the road. Elf Barbarian had an arsenal of weapons and would constantly switch them mid-combat, and due to some nat 1s often ended up literally tossing his swords across the battle field and having to spend time gathering them all back up after the slaughter. Dragonborn Barbarian and my character had a kind of flirtatious relationship and she was offended when my character bought a sapphire bracelet instead of a ruby one (she was a red-scaled dragonborn). Together we managed to indoctrinate an entire city into our cult and become the shadow government with the current ruler being our puppet. In the epilogue written by our DM my character sacrificed herself in a blood ritual and became the literal god of the cult, elf was gifted undeath by her and became her eternal champion, while the dragonborn was voted into leadership by the people before getting assassinated by the elf on orders of my character because the dragonborn started hoarding taxes for herself and stopped giving the church their cut. We then played in a different party with more people and that group came across ruins of a once great city, hearing how the king came through ten years ago and razed it for being full of cultists. Party found a hidden entrance in one of the buildings and found the untouched remains of the cult's basement, including a wraith that used to be the dragonborn, screaming at the party to leave her treasure alone. Also a statue of my character, suspiciously missing her sword and shield. Later went to have dinner with the king and he showed off the cut off head of the elf in a box, hissing insults at everyone, unable to die.
Brilliant! XD I loved playing this out in my mind's theater. A fun dynamic I don't see nearly often enough. I'd love to know how this adventure continues, how the two help and support each other in their own unique ways and the character growth for both that results. : ) I've got a year and a a half of videos to catch up on, so maybe I'll be lucky?
My best game is a pirate campaign where my wife plays as captain drax a leonin swashbuckler and my brother in law her first mate Ox a half orc barbarian. They have a sceam where the captain woos high profile wemon and gets them to take him home while ox sneaks in during the commotion and loots the house. This lead to ox putting on a cursed necklace that leads the party to an acient temple containing the imprisoned godess of chaos and discord Eris. The end up freeing her unleashing dark water and her guardian constellations on the world.
Not only are small groups great but 1on 1 are great too. Really don't think you need a group to play TTRPGs. I've had loads of fun playing 1 on 1 for multiple years.
Just yesterday we postponed a dnd. A friend of mine and I created brothers who hate each other, after one got their parents killed. Slowly but surely. We are fixing the relationship between the siblings
So broke back mountain but dnd style... Also I am guessing Leon's int is low...cause he really did not notice his squire was a street worker...also not really buddy movie if one keeps making sexual advances while the other keeps saying no..
@@fenorlex1126 well through the whole story none of those were being done and he had to constantly pull him away from people and mostly himself...if they are doing a pretty woman route then it would make sense but it wasn't
@@runzumarun4925 It's not immediate, as far as redemptions goes. Isn't this just one part of their entire campaign? A pretty lady could become a cliche for a knight/paladin, even if the origins are different. Besides, the players did want to have a different... flavor, in their adventure.
Can someone link me to the video on all things DND about the paladin that killed his entire family due to them having to do with a ritual to someone vampires
Quick question: I get that Leon is the Straightman (no pun intended), but what archetype is Svienn? The Bunny-Ears Lawyer or Loveable Rogue? Or is he a Wise Guy?
Trying to pay attention but only got 4 minutes in... The continuous poking in and out of the squire is just too jarring. Appreciate the story, but I've become too focused on how jarring it is to focus on the story. Maybe if the squire just rode in the first time and then just stayed in frame? I'm sorry I hate to complain but I just can't focus. Ugh. Thank you for the story.
The insult Leon threw at the Bandit Chief was so savage.
Yeah, that was a sick burn.
I might just keep that for a Vengeance Paladin. Hell, I might just have a V. Human Paladin with Vicious Mockery.

Comedy is hard to do in RPG terms as folks often have very different senses of humor. Nice to see they pulled this off.

Maybe one day we'll return to that universe. If we don't my character from that first campaign, created to fill a hole in the party, which took on a life of her own, will always still be my favourite ever character I've created, and I'll still keep trying to recapture the feelings from that RPing opportunity. And I can honestly say that with all the controversy around JK in recent years, being able to treat our little universe as headcannon kept my HP fandom alive. Currently, I'm running another small group through the Doctor Who RPG as an AU Doctor and companions.
i like how much this channel has grown
Agreed, its a long game to start with and every new player adds at least an hour per session and its hard to get decent length sessions in first place
Please give us more of these guys, they are really funny and awesome.
2 thumbs up guys!!!
I'm in a 2 person campaign (we each play 3 characters to make a 6 man party). Made all my characters fighters with different subclasses to make running them easier.
I'll be honest, this sounds like the opening Arc to an anime. I want it.
Played in what sounds like a start of a joke:
A Snakeman, a Gorilla, and a Ghost walk into a Tavern
Dynamitc duos. I think my personal favorite one from my D&D history of playing is the time I played Zalidos, a Wood Elf Paladin, and somehow I ended up with a Drow Warlock brother-in-law named Sorebac due to me and his sister named Yeldinna hooking up from Wizard shenanigans . The funnier part was that we did not know of each other's existence as we were both attempting to save the lady and beat the ever living crap out of the Wizard that was wanting to use her as a sacrifice.
Yeldinna: "Zalidos! You're here!"
Zalidos: "Be right there beloved! Just need to slap this -"
Sorebac: "Wait a second. You're the guy dating my sister!"
Yeldinna: "Elder Brother!?"
Zalidos: "You're Yeldi's estrange brother?"
Sorebac: "Why else would I be here?"
Zalidos: "The wizard...?"
*looks at the smoulder remains of the wizard that took a 4th level Divine Smith and 5th Level Cone of Cold*
Yeldinna: "I never thought I'd see the day... wait, brother. This man is my husband!"
*Yeldinna immediately runs over to hook up my arm to hers*
Sorebac (Growling): "I suppose you could have done worst. At least he fights well enough."
We did this once the whole group ended with like 6 people in the party. But it started with only 3, me and two others, and most of the time it was only me and one other person. It was some of the most fun I had being able to roleplay as much as I could and eventually we had a DMPC who was an awakened Donkey sorcerer. He was my best friend in the game.
We bought a donkey to carry our water and I joked the DM should roll his stats. Well he ended up with 11INT and earned himself his own homebrew magic item for being the only one to land a hit on our higher-up that was training us when we returned to the guild. Ended up with a few magic items of his own so imagine a water-walking triple speed donkey with a dire wolf pelt that could speak. He was the best.
I love this and in my mind they will have gotten together in a log cabin in the country side near another village they had saved
I'm in the progress of playing through my first DND campaign (I only had some past experience with pathfinder when I was young) and I can certainly see why people normally do small groups because its pretty chaotic due to us having around 6-8 players per session with atleast 10 PCs currently introduced
Buddy Romance Comedies I'm all in
Oh. I should have known this would be another Felix story... XD
I try to get all the good ones on paper.
@@felixlavulpe3506 And you do it so very well.
I mind went "that's a lawbringer Execution" with the poleaxe
I'm deviously curious about these players. Do they do things like this off screen?
The problem is when you have 2 shy people in a 2 person group
I DM a campaign with a Dragonborn Sorcerer named Zeke. Zeke was a scholar of a prestigious institution who was kicked out for ignoring his work. He is a raging narcissist who thinks he’s above everyone and believes that the world “needs his beauty.” His partner, a Moon Elf named Inverna, is a stubborn, sarcastic Fighter that hates orcs after a group killed her family and scarred her face. She is frustrated to no end with Zeke’s ego, even in the moments when she’s trying to be nice. The only reason they adventure with each other is because their abilities complement each other and Inverna rescued Zeke from a fatal encounter in his first quest. Together they’re like an Archer/Lana pair that barely manages to get the job done with their constant bickering.
I played in a oneshot as part of a party of three. We were told to make an evil alignment character and the plan was we were spreading our cult. Enter the Lawful Evil Paladin (my character) and two Chaotic Evil Barbarians. My character became the party face as the other two either terrified or enraged the villagers we came across. My character was very tired of the barbarians' bullshit, but as fate would have it she had a whopping 3 in Constitution (thanks dice gods) and needed them so she didn't die to monsters on the road. Elf Barbarian had an arsenal of weapons and would constantly switch them mid-combat, and due to some nat 1s often ended up literally tossing his swords across the battle field and having to spend time gathering them all back up after the slaughter. Dragonborn Barbarian and my character had a kind of flirtatious relationship and she was offended when my character bought a sapphire bracelet instead of a ruby one (she was a red-scaled dragonborn). Together we managed to indoctrinate an entire city into our cult and become the shadow government with the current ruler being our puppet. In the epilogue written by our DM my character sacrificed herself in a blood ritual and became the literal god of the cult, elf was gifted undeath by her and became her eternal champion, while the dragonborn was voted into leadership by the people before getting assassinated by the elf on orders of my character because the dragonborn started hoarding taxes for herself and stopped giving the church their cut. We then played in a different party with more people and that group came across ruins of a once great city, hearing how the king came through ten years ago and razed it for being full of cultists. Party found a hidden entrance in one of the buildings and found the untouched remains of the cult's basement, including a wraith that used to be the dragonborn, screaming at the party to leave her treasure alone. Also a statue of my character, suspiciously missing her sword and shield. Later went to have dinner with the king and he showed off the cut off head of the elf in a box, hissing insults at everyone, unable to die.
Brilliant! XD I loved playing this out in my mind's theater. A fun dynamic I don't see nearly often enough. I'd love to know how this adventure continues, how the two help and support each other in their own unique ways and the character growth for both that results. : ) I've got a year and a a half of videos to catch up on, so maybe I'll be lucky?
My best game is a pirate campaign where my wife plays as captain drax a leonin swashbuckler and my brother in law her first mate Ox a half orc barbarian. They have a sceam where the captain woos high profile wemon and gets them to take him home while ox sneaks in during the commotion and loots the house. This lead to ox putting on a cursed necklace that leads the party to an acient temple containing the imprisoned godess of chaos and discord Eris. The end up freeing her unleashing dark water and her guardian constellations on the world.
I think that is one of my favorite tabletop stories this year based on the chemistry of the two buddies alone. Nvm the dope ass story itself.
It's Church and Caboose in DND!
I’ve only played small groups. It’s better but large groups help you get to know more people to run small groups with.
This is fun. I like this, we need more funny wholesome D&D content please
Yep,my favorite D&D stream on Twitch is small,6 or 7 most of the time. They're always hilarious.
That sounds like a nice pair.
Do you mean settling into a house together like the movie "Second Hand Lions"?
I have a pair of NPCs like this in a grim hollow game I play it off like Geralt & Jaskier but more flirting
While this is true, I do feel that larger parties still have their place. And not just for more survivability or the ability to split up.
LOL that last part
The video: No views, posted 38 seconds ago, 6 likes
Those 6 likes:fastest click in the west
That was so epic!
Between 2 and 5 is ideal group size. I've played in groups of 7 and it wasn't ideal. Lots of fun but alot less focus on dnd
Not only are small groups great but 1on 1 are great too. Really don't think you need a group to play TTRPGs. I've had loads of fun playing 1 on 1 for multiple years.
One of my best campaigns was running a solo campaign for my best buddy. He'd never played before and it was a hilarious mess.
Just yesterday we postponed a dnd. A friend of mine and I created brothers who hate each other, after one got their parents killed. Slowly but surely. We are fixing the relationship between the siblings
So broke back mountain but dnd style... Also I am guessing Leon's int is low...cause he really did not notice his squire was a street worker...also not really buddy movie if one keeps making sexual advances while the other keeps saying no..
More like "converting" and "redeeming" someone. Sometimes, among the garbage heap, there's a treasure waiting to be cleaned.
@@fenorlex1126 well through the whole story none of those were being done and he had to constantly pull him away from people and mostly himself...if they are doing a pretty woman route then it would make sense but it wasn't
@@runzumarun4925
It's not immediate, as far as redemptions goes. Isn't this just one part of their entire campaign?
A pretty lady could become a cliche for a knight/paladin, even if the origins are different. Besides, the players did want to have a different... flavor, in their adventure.
Leon was trying to make to make Svienn an ideal knight. Key word trying.
@@felixlavulpe3506 Initial goals.
We'll have to see the rest of the arc to know for sure.
This is just amazing.
We don't talk about 4e
I finally got into a (smaller)campaign and played a femboy who dated a this girl-
Im a player of a 3 player game and i can say this yes less player=more rp
in a few weeks i'm starting my first campaign which was going to be 3 people but the other guy dropped out so it's just me and one of my friends
My first character is a level 4 demonic human barbarin which level 3 fighter ability’s and night vision
Is it just me or am i getting Geralt and Jaskier Vibes?
Hahahaha, I love that one, that's great!
Svien makes me think of Oliver from Trails in the Sky.
Just started a campaign where I'm a turtles man wizard my buddy is a kobold paladin he's 10 years old and I'm if I rember around 300 years old
what is a small group or a large group for that matter?
Is there a story on centaur, minotaur,or cat people in all Things DnD story???????
Can someone link me to the video on all things DND about the paladin that killed his entire family due to them having to do with a ritual to someone vampires
Quick question: I get that Leon is the Straightman (no pun intended), but what archetype is Svienn? The Bunny-Ears Lawyer or Loveable Rogue? Or is he a Wise Guy?
Oh, definitely a cross between Loveable Rogue and between the two of them an "oblivious boy and hypersexual 'girl'" motif.
My best campaign I ever ran was with 2 players
Shanghai Noon but it’s a DnD campaign
All the yes
Hilarious story.
Concept a Goliath wizard
I need more
Hah! Amazing!
This... This is the Witcher. But in D&D
Trying to pay attention but only got 4 minutes in... The continuous poking in and out of the squire is just too jarring. Appreciate the story, but I've become too focused on how jarring it is to focus on the story.
Maybe if the squire just rode in the first time and then just stayed in frame? I'm sorry I hate to complain but I just can't focus. Ugh. Thank you for the story.
Well... this story reminds me of a few Animes!!!😐😐💜
Nothing like being sexually harassed by your "friend".
Right? Sexual harassment is so funny.
