ahh yes, the dredded muderhobo infestation, i heard the only way to get rid of one is to put out a story trap that is so irrisistable that they have no choice but to buy into it
My party accidentally adopted a kobold (who actually saved their butt and consequently got knighted and then the party named themselves after him) and then the most recent session had them knocking out a poor helpless merchant who was literally just trying to repay a debt to some rich parents of these kids. I don't understand them but it's fine. No one died.
I’m in two campaigns run by the same guy, I was wondering why he was so nice to the characters of one and let the characters of the other die, then I realized it was that one group was full of murderhobos
Random Maid: "How are you enjoying your meal?" Me: "Wow! Its really good, how did you know I like it spicy?" Random maid: "Why aren't you dead?" Me: "I beg your pardon?"
PC: "Oh wow. Hemlock. Gives it a nice tang. I prefer aconite myself, but this'll do. And it's fresh. Extra points for that." Tavern Wench: "What?" (tries stew, instantly drops dead)
Things that are Absolutely Perfect: -the "nice" being in there twice -the sudden urge to poison food so you can chuckle quietly when they realise -the very obvious fake smoke -link's face being scribbled out -Definitely Not Clark -the nicely tied but badly worn tie -the Narration THAT FUCKING AD
Nah. Maybe a bit of the DM getting revenge for a PC treating NPCs badly, but mostly it seems like a case of DM amusing himself by making the party suffer at every opportunity. Not really DM vs Player mentality.
What if D&D is an alternate world where the DM and players spontaneously spawn in and wreak havoc not realizing they are affecting the lives of real people and events? Rogue: I'm a Rogue, and you are my little sister. Sister: Wait I have a brother now, awesome- Rogue: But you tragically died in my arms! Sister: What! Why? The player playing the Rogue: I dunno, a Rogue needs a dark, and oftentimes suffering, edge lord origin story. P.S. Imagine the guilt of the murderhobos.
Hey Everyone! Andrew (The one who played Jeff) Helped me a ton with this video, as a thank you it would mean alot if you could check out his social medias and give him a follow! Thanks Andrew!! Andrew: beacons.page/reidandrews
@@lilybetgates9332 One of my players used her grandma's name, which is Mary of Conception (Maria da Conceição, in portuguese) I asked her, since there's no Virgin Mary in the homebrew setting, to at least write it as Marhia, or drop the surname, to which she declined. Since there was no harm, I just shrugged. But it still tickled my mind how a common name becomes alien in a different culture (world?)
@@doom7ish I was so crushed when I found out everyone was calling him "The Smoking Man". Around here everyone was calling him The Cancer Man and I thought fans were in agreement on that cool name. "Smoking Man" just sounds so bland.
So is the next episode going to follow the party as they track down this "mysterious power". The possibility of a beautifully twisted meta-campaign is too good to resist!
I'm still gradually working through all your videos--so glad that I found this channel. I just felt the need to comment because this skit reminded me of something I experienced years and years ago. I'm not a D&D player. If anything, I'm a fanfiction writer. But I did sit in on a few D&D sessions of a friend who DM's. As an outsider observing, I enjoyed listening to the stories. Sometimes they even inspired some of my own writing when I hit a block. But one session--I accidentally interrupted (I think it was the 4th session of an ongoing campaign?) to remind the DM that the villain he made appear for that session had already been eradicated in a prior session (with no way to return) and could not be the one doing this. I stepped out to get a drink. When I returned, I was pretty much pulled in as an NPC-creator. The DM was still in charge, but apparently, I became the minion/monster maker...and an NPC necromancer? I still didn't play, but I became a back-seat DM...in control of the DM himself? It was fun. I still haven't told him that his group often came to me after that incident to re-write the transcripts of the campaign into story form... Ah, those poor NPC's. -smirk-
That fucking spelling of Psteighve killed me instantly, I couldn't hear the rest of the video and had to rewind to watch the rest. I shall now name my son Psteighve in honor of this moment so he shall enjoy the true life building moments of bullying and self-hatred I have erroneously placed upon him.
Putting my love for this episode aside (for now), about that sponsored pitch. All those features are great and awesome, but you really GOT ME at REAL LEATHER! I don't like were it comes from, but I'm still obsessed with leather. "My precious!" ~Golum
Meanwhile my NPC's have a possibility to get an illness called "4th wall shattering" and players can get that too... it happens when someone talks about something that is not fully in character and thus I made talking out of character part of the roleplay...
The DM who's secretly abusive and could really give a damn less about you and the rest of your team because they're entitled. Only you can prevent NPC abuse
Honestly I would love to see a recuring NPC who's goal (that's kept secret untill late game) is to find and stop the DM. It'd be hella difficult to pull off but man that reveal would be amazing.
Ok but these sound super wild. I mean, imagine you just forget a dude's name and then; Hamil McSmiley: Ho ho ho. The world is a story and I am the storyteller! I move the pieces. The King and Queen Bend to my WILL! Barbarian: Why? Why are you doing this? Hamil: (removes creepy sheep clown mask) Simple. Since you didn't get the goblins outta my barn, I started the Goblin Elf War to do this myself. Druid: What? Hamil: Toil now, for this farmhand shall reap what you have sown.
Only pull the secretly evil NPC card out once in a while. Keeps them on their toes while preventing them from becoming murder hobos. I managed to get my party through a super intense portion of the story with no real hiccups using three traitorous NPCs, about a dozen friendly/neutral NPCs (normal people mostly), and three favorite NPCs. Got them to risk the entire quest just to save the life of one, and it was part of the story all along! Just remember: NPCs are people. Not all of them are evil, not all of them are your friends. Not all of them are geniuses, not all of them are dumbasses. And above all, if you want your party to go through the cool story you have planned, just threaten to publically execute their favorite NPC, capture them when they try to rescue him, don't kill him because PSYCHE he had plot armor the whole time, and arrest them so they end up in the next part of the story: the prison break arc! Goodnight everybody!!

The reference to the Jeff from what is your name is so cool it was one of my favorite and also one shot questers lore is beginning to form
