I have never done something like this
But I did manage to become and Eldritch Being. (Lovecraftian style)
But that was with the DMs permission after we beat the BBEG and I was leaving the group and the Neighborhood it was in.
Best Party I'll ever be a part of.
Not yet but I might soon, I'm gonna set up to start using the catapult spell to throw bags filled with acid vials. Not the most creative combo ever, but I can't wait to see the dm's face when I go from being the underdog of the party to doing 3d8+10d6 damage per 1st level spell
DM ~ "Hey guys, you ready for this weekend of DnD?"
Players ~ "Sure am"
I dunno. The DM sounded crap at first, but any DM that lets you have a *wish duel* is pretty sick.
Honestly, it was cringey at first, no doubt. However the fact that he was able to roll with this utter derailment, I wouldn't say that he had an AWFUL DM; just bad.
Derek Anon he definitely wasn’t as bad as the other dm stories on this channel my favourite is doombo
This DM isn't an irredeemable one, and I honestly hope he grew from this. Because, out of all his major faults, he did have a willingness to let the story play out as the players made it to a degree, which isn't something utterly shit DM's would allow.
Any DM that adds pedophilia into their game is automatically a horrible DM by default...
He was a bad dm, but there were some redeeming qualities.
I was not satisfied by “god”, I had to become...The DM.
"I was a god once. I found it beneath me." - Doctor Doom
I wish to be . . . The One Above All.
@@theoneaboveall9930 More like "I wish to be The One Above The One Above All".
@@jackiechan715 Well that's true but, technically I would become the one above all.
@@theoneaboveall9930 It was a reference to a fanfiction story by The Dark Wolf Shiro. Was hoping that someone would recognize it.
"You can't just overthrow a DM."
Yes, yes you can. If you do it by the rules.
The rules say that the DM is the final authority and is capable of overriding the rules at his whim so.... yeah.....
@@CedarHunt due to the dm that "deleted" his campaign in his own accord and didn't read the 8 pages to fact check it in his "homebrew campaign" then by all means he was "dethrone/step down" his position as dm.
@@CedarHunt Rubix rescinded his authority by deleting his own game and not stopping it, and he even allowed for the player to survive reality collapsing. Technically speaking, the player's character is now the DM.
Not even slightly, the DM could have just played it off as "You create a new universe but the sheer effort and power involved leaves you stretched and thin. You exist per your wish but are incapable of altering the universe you have just created. You become dormant. Trapped in all places and times, a mere observer in the cosmos. Roll new character." The DM isn't the universe, he's the DM and he does what he wants. The players were just a bunch of dipshits who wanted a new DM but that doesn't mean the current, shitty DM was overthrown.
@@CedarHunt sounds kinda right, i guess... but i gotta say this: he said "Game Over", so it might've just counted as:
1. DM overthrew the player's Wish, and actually ended the campaign.
2. The player established a brand new campaign right after the old one ended.
"You may have outsmarted me, but I outsmarted your outsmartedness"
"No"
*[Gold Experience Requiem intensifies]*
"Well yes. But no."
You may have outsmarted my outsmartedness, BUT I OUTSMARTED YOUR OUTSMARTEDNESS THAT OUTSMARTED MY OUTSMARTEDNESS!!!
HOLY SHIT IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKIN JOJO REFERENCE
You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it does
"If everyone's super, no one is."
"All men are equal, but some are more equal than others."
People who say this, need to see this video.
That logic usually comes from 40k where everything is op, but the thing is nothing even in 40k is so op that it could instantly smack reality itself down like a bitch and then remake it in an instant.
The logic falls apart when there is something that can.
DM: "Ha, your wish wipes out all reality. Game over."
Player: "Ahem, look at this rule I made for the wish: I wished to be invincible so even my own wish can't eradicate me. I remake the reality."
Player 2: "You're the DM now!"
Ex-DM: "WHAT?! SHUT UP! I'M THE DM!"
All: "You suck at D&D, go back to Pokemon where you belong, you weeb, we're playing with X!"
Just amazing. We should have WIzards of the Coast make a panel to weed out weak DMs who don't know how to play the game and only use it as a springboard for their Mary Sue fantasies. ;)

DM: NANI!!??

*DM:* Did you just use two wish spells in one round?

I mean, if Rubix wanted an anime D&D campaign then what's there to get mad about? Turning yourself into an overpowered god and recreating the multiverse while playing by the lore's rules has got to be one of the most anime things ever.
I can picture Richtoros floating in the void nude (stylistic shadows hiding the naughty bits), reflecting on what has just transpired, how he's responsible for the world's destruction, is he a monster, was it all for nothing, blah blah blah, before going:
"I... I understand now. This new beginning is *me*. I am the God of my own world. My own universe. And if I learn to love and believe in myself, I can create a new multiverse better than the old one! This is the true meaning of being human!" and then projections of Bard, Cleric, Barbarian and all the major npcs appear around him, clapping and going:
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
This is so fucking Evangelion.
This sounds cool. I like it.
_angels cruel thesis plays in background_
Congratulations.
I'm running an Epic Level campaign and introduced a level 55 sorceress by her suplexing an Ancient Black Dragon to its impalement on a manor fountain, to the level 7 party's fright, because it tried to eat her baby girl. She's actually an avatar of the Goddess of Magic with a Dragon Soul, hence why she and dragons hate each other, and is staging a war with Lovecraftian horrors that would eat Cthulhu for breakfast.
I mean, For all Rubix's faults, he did go with everything and did not say no. This Campaign would have been 100000% worst if he just said no to everything.
well yes, but the other part was the bad one, i must admit his universe idea was interesting, and allowing a player to become a God in the end is preety dang epic for a DM, especially when it's possible by the rules of his homebrew campaign
I don't know... Not being able to say no as a DM is usually bad. It just shows that the players were good and the OP creative enough to make it interesting. I know some players that can really screw up a game (usually for the other players) pretty badly if given too much freedom. I guess it worked here because it was the party vs the DM, instead of player vs other players.
@@MrGoulio i always struggled with this problem as a dm. people often do have derailing ideas but saying no is a flat denial of why they are there in the first place. which just leads to a disconnect from the player. i learned to not say no, but not say yes either. find a way to integrate their idea or use it in some way, if its really bad work with them to make it better... i see the DM as a storyteller and organizer not a god.
@@magicalfungi3206 if their idea is really derailing and annoying, let them have fun with it but build them a little sandbox where their actions don't have any effects... Example, DC24 lol
Holy Sh... you used that DM's rules to overthrow him as the new DM. Your character did not just become divine, your character became all-powerful and the core of the universe, making you the DM. That anime-loving DM handed you that challenge and you won based on his rules.
This sounds like a plot that would be actually in an anime
@@GalacticFox32 Yes, it is a plot in an actual anime called No Game No Life.

Marks of a good DM, or a bad DM that can be saved: Self-consistency
I think the kid had potential being able to role with the hits but just completely ignored the story and didn't read important stuff I'd know if a player gave me a 8 page essay of rules about what he's going to do im going to take a 20 minute break to figure out what's going to happen/what I can do
Agreed. He essentially had a world put together but no hook to get the PCs to naturally explore it. Scion was great to find a way that his party can interact with this world and have fun without actually trying to step on Rubixs toes.
probably realised this was a far more epic story and DnD experience than his original pervy imagination ceiling
*Mankind:* Where did we come from? Why are we here? Is there a god? If so, who made God?
*God:* Well... you see... it involves me being in high school into my 30's and a rubiks cube and... it's a long story.
Everyone what?
*Mankind*: Why did you make us?
@@NOTZeroBlank *Richtoros:* Well, in the old universe you existed. I kind of had to reconstitute you. At least I did something about the waifu problem.
*Mankind:* What's a waifu?
*Richtoros:* Better that you don't know.
I played this high school punk girl in this sort of "magical girls" mostly narrative campaign. While the concept sounded weird the DM was great, and the setting was more a call of cthulhu than anime stile.
During the history I got my superpower, teleport, and the more the adventure went on, the more I collected magic, lowering the cooldown of my power. In the final battle the bbeg pulled out a Thanos with his best attack, and while we were slowly turning into nothing I asked to the two other dying teammates to give me their magic. They basically killed themselves in order to die before me, and my 0,5 seconds cooldown became -0,5.
Which I quickly realised ment that I could have existed simultaneously everywhere, even in the past. So I went back in time, half second after half second, until I reached the big bang, and manipulated the universe in order to replicate everything that happened and turned my remaining companions in something like daevas.
And this is why in our adventures set in modern fantasy god is a punk girl that wears a green Day t-shirt and combat boots.
Uh... So she didn't get a weeb anime-esque armor?
This is freaking awesome. Though I have to wonder, if you had to go back billions of years by only that much at a time that'd take forever. Seriously I can only imagine one might go insane.
@@dorianrobinette9712 It wouldn't take any time if the cooldown of her ability was -0.5 seconds. She would be able to teleport every -0.5 seconds, so infinity times at once. So going back billions of years would happen instantly.
Pooding yeah but if you have to go back at only a half second at a time even being able to use the ability so often it just seems like it'd take near an eternity.
@@dorianrobinette9712 well she's kinda...quirky, a lot. Also since I'm not playing her anymore she has her own agenda, which depends on whoever is the DM, but basically she's the god of time, space and messy paradoxes, and it's stated by the occultists which manage to contact her that despite absolute knowledge of everything that happened, happens and will happen she finds the thought of finding if she created herself of always existed "the hugest headache ever".
So yep, she's a little odd.
(Our modern fantasy setting is something like "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" with god's, eldritch horrors and cosmic magic.)
Moral of the story is kids, know the game you are playing because someone who knows the game better might take the reins from you.
There is always a bigger fish.
And they may do it on accident, too. XD
@@PhazonOmega exactly! lol
He didn’t take the reins, he made his own
That's kinda like saying that you shouldn't play because someone better would replace you against your will
DM: makes godly being
Party: why you make a godly being???
DM: makes excuse for wanting to kill them all
Party: *exploits excuse*
Party Leader: becomes stronger than DM
Party: The council will now decide your fate
Scion just pulled the biggest "No U" in history.... well what's left of history anyway after reality just f*cking collapses
@@GalacticFox32 Psions/Mysitcs are not to be fucked with, always ends in the DM suffering by his own designs trying to beat them, and the party becoming annoyed with both lol
The council has decided. YOU ARE STRIPPED OF YOUR TITLE OF DM
So is this how 40k is finally going to end? the emperor and the whole of chaos having a wish battle and unmaking everything, for the emperor to remake everything in the end?
Seems fittting of how God like everybody is. But they didn't really pushed the threshold they have though. Because everybody in 40k has a limit.
Besides that the emporium of man will end up dying relying on the dead emperor power to sustain themselves.
@@DemonDragonGD have you watched "If the Emperor had a Text to Speech Device"?
You know that scene in Alfabravusa´s TTS series where the Eclesiarch walks into the Emperor describing his view of humanity´s potential?
Thats me right now thinking of it...

Don't give games workshop any ideas, just look at what happened the last time they try to end a universe.
"Have you ever pulled a fast one on the DM"
By fast he means wrote an 8 page document front and back do define your wish.
Who's the real loser in that situation....the guy who wrote 16 pages of a wish spell, that's who.
@@xaheroforhireusx No I'd would say that the DM who tried to fuck over the PC is the real loser. That PC just made sure there was no loophole for that ultra weeb to exploit so he can be a God version of 40K, Also what are the chances of you being the Ultra Weeb DM?
@@xaheroforhireusx imagine a Wish with a loophole lmao XD
- smart people gang
This player character literally BECAME the dungeon master. A feat so incredible that it shouldn't be possible. He became the god above gods...dang, I am severely impressed. Well played.
That's a solid 10 on the Henderson Scale if I've ever seen one.
Never heard of the dm being overthrown threw the lore....and not outside of the universe
That's because it can't happen according to the actual rule book.
Homebrew made this possible
The rules do say that the DM is the rules, so I’d say this works
@@raistlarn I said lore of the universe not the game system lol
"We started out as high school students, interesting seeing as how most of our characters were 25+ years old..." This guy was trying to do Anime D&D and wound up doing Power Rangers D&D, good work.
Well, not exactly a fast one. The new 5e rules just surprised us all.
I was playing an Illithid Cthulhu-Warlock who fled his sunless city after finding out how to wake Cthulhu. Pacts are one thing, but what is a destroyed world worth? Especially when I live on it?
Anyway, our group bought a mansion on a cliff (less "Batman" than "Spartacus" if anyone actually saw that show) that turned out to be much larger than it should be for the price we paid. Turned out there was a cave in the cliffside with a Black Dragon and a whole tribe of enslaved Kuo-Toa. After a little research (opening the Monster Manual and just looking at the pictures) we decided not to kill the slaves. So we dispatched the Dragon. My Eldritch Blast landed the last strike, so I immediately declared myself the new master of the tribe. We had a few encounters with some of the Kuo-Toa so we knew they were not ready to tackle the world without guidance, so that was the plan all along, I just acted because i laid the final blow.
So, the GM read the flavortext for a few minutes, started laughing hysterically and asked me to make an Int-Check.
Turns out Kuo-Toa are completely mad because their entire race was enslaved by, and subjected to the mindaltering abilities of: The Mindflayers. Ooops! For thousands of years and hundreds of generations. Double Ooops!! Yea, maybe the Mindflayer of the Group should have given someone else the reigns. Oh, well.
Of course they accepted me immediately as their master. However after some more research we found out that the Kuo-Toa had a far more interesting ability. Their collective madness is so powerful that they can bend reality.
If enough of them believe in something, it happens.
So i told them i was their god, and to start breeding...
Our GM was fine with it.
You actually became god of the world. Wow.
okay bye
This OP, who originally complained about how he didn't like the structure of op challenges against the party, but the challenges were never enough to tpk, so OP adjusted and sounds like he had tons of fun with everybody else. They both were so mature that I'm appaled there are still some DMs that ban ranged attacks and have a while group quite. He essentially did a research paper on a wish spell during a period in our lives where teachers had to pull teeth to get a paper done.
So this is literally....
*menacingly*

I will say weeblette was utter cringe, but just rolling with the derail is the sign of a potentially awesome GM.
Ever thought of reconnecting with barb bard and cleric via a discord and roll20 campaign?
MrMcDemo the idea has crossed my mind, but we’re a group that honestly prefers irl gatherings. I find, as a GM, it’s easier to get into character, and communicate with players when body language gets involved.
That, and I’m Sicilian, I can’t talk if I don’t use my hands.
As the DM, I’d be like “I hate you, and I’m so proud of you. The PC has became the DM.”
I would just say "Well Played."

Ladies gentlemen and the technical color rainbow of classes and races in between…
I have finally joined my first ever session of DND last night it was glorious!
Congrats! Here's to a long and entertaining campaign that plants memories for all the right reasons!!
I second the previous comment. Just take some lessons from the videos posted here, and learn what *not* to do, so you can avoid those mistakes. Bottom line, the point is for everyone to have fun.
I love anime and shit, but if anyone one of my friends ever made a campaign like Rubix Cube weeb here, I would just stand up and walk away.
Yeah.......... people who think harems and slutty school girls make good anime are why the current generation of main stream anime has become so shitty and why anime fans are given a bad name. I still miss Tokyo Ghoul and I still need to find a new place to read Goblin Slayer.
@@a_cynical_mad_man_vods The only anime I've seen is Fate, and I was disappointed when I found out they were the exception not the norm, at least Babylonia isn't bad outside of fan service.
@@IC-23 eh I'm in my mid 20s, and I'm in no way shape or form a Professor on anime and culture as a whole but I've seen the greats of the late 80s and 90s *Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, Ectra* I've seen the giants of Shonen Jump *Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece* and I've seen the decline in quality and effort over the last decade of the media. I'll never attack someone for what they like, everyone has a preference and an opinion. Nothing wrong with that. But when every new anime season I see at least 4 new harem series all of which is the exact same thing as all of the others but with new girls and slightly different story that is essentially genaric every day boy who is handsome but is the least popular person for x-reason gets the attention of the most popular girl and thus sexy chaos ensues, yeah my opinion of current generation of anime had plummeted. If you want to get into anime I suggest looking at series that began before 2009 in all honesty, there are a few exceptions, Goblin Slayer is legitimately an anime told through the eyes of a D&D campaign, if your into psychology and confrontation of social morality and mental health issues and abuse I suggest looking into Tokyo Ghoul, and if you like Japanese Mythology and demonology I suggest both Demon Slayer and Dororo *the entire series of Dororo is here on TH-cam last I checked*. That's all I really have to say. If you have any questions feel free to ask
Whenever I dm, I do use aspects of Anime for the story, but it's never like "Suddenly, big tiddied waifu approaches you with a gunsword, and a cape. She fights a fucking kaiju and walks away from the fight with not scratches, but most of her outfit destroyed, exposing her somehow thin figure despite showing being able to lift entire buildings and doing ridiculous flips. Also this is set in a high-school in the middle of the 1500s, and Leonardo DaVinci is a cute Anime girl."
I spent way too much time on that lmfao
I love anime, but there's a difference between enjoying anime and being one of THOSE fans.
Well now I have a hankering for "Overthrow your DM" stories! I just HAVE to know if there are more like this!
Alternate title: How I went from being a humble PC to the creator of reality.
"This DM is awful"
But you played in his world for numerous sessions over what sounds like months and had fun and got a good story out of it.
Sounds like he did his job. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Two words explain why this DM is awful- pedophilic fantasies. I don’t know why the players stayed after that. There were other issues, but that one stood out to me.
if the players have to go out of there way to make the game enjoyable and make the plot bascilly then the dm failed because they didn't make the game fun nor have a good plot
out of all of the bad DM's we've seen, Rubix isn't the worst of them all, heck, he even had a few qualaties. I hope, Rubix realized his flaws and went on a path to become a better DM
"Look at me. I am the DM now,"
"You and everything is deleted."
"No, it says right here in my wish that I cannot delete myself."
"Ahh, but it does not say you can't delete your power. With the deletion of the universe, your power is deleted with it. You are now an immortal being that cannot die, or be deleted by any means, floating in a void for the rest of...well..if time existed here...you get the point."
ArshikaTowers Id argue that this power is a part of himself, just by how the wish was phrased. But he wouldnt be the DM though.
Also, I'm sure there was a clause about not being able to lose his powers, since he was much more pedantic when he did it.
It was eight pages, and we got the briefest summary of the wish.
HOWEVER, I would point out that the power itself exists as part of the universe. As in, if the universe itself is destroyed, on what and from what is the power acting?
As an example from a different campaign setting, if you cast a wish within the Forgotten Realms, even if you homebrew it so that it doesn't have the normal limitations of the Wish spell, the spell is still powered by the Weave. It is limited to what the Weave can affect, and if the wish DESTROYS the Weave, then it's hard to argue that the Wish caster still has power.
In this case, the caster got the power by passing between two universes. By my understanding, he basically becomes a lucid dreamer, but of that universe's reality, and that's where he got his power. Well, hard to argue that he's successfully lucid dreaming a reality when the reality is completely gone... and so is the one from which he got the power.
Also, I don't think the caster in this case knew the universe was going to be destroyed, so I think it's unlikely he wished all the power in the universe into himself in advance.
@@Mythraen Yes, we are judging on incomplete information. However, if the power he got was from the two realities interacting with each other; and his dream effectively destroyed the two realities. The source of his power may be himself, but the reality in which those powers manifest is destroyed; the weave with it.
Without the weave, magic doesn't exist. So yes, he my still have all of his power; but nothing will manifest without the weave's influence to make it manifest.
All magic is a manipulation of the weave, anti magic zones the weave is broken down and destroyed, so no magic.
He effectively made the entire universe (Or lack thereof) an anti-magic zone.
@@ArshikaTowers You recognize, I hope, that this isn't really in disagreement with my own proposal?
We're both saying that it could be argued that destroying all of reality could arguably strip him of any ability to act.
Note: I did use the Weave only as an example, though. This campaign did not take place in the Forgotten Realms.
That was some serious Infinity Gauntlet stuff there! Rictoros sounds EPIC!
Something about this narrator is perfect for that smug "I outsmarted the dickish blowhards" narrations that this channel does. I love it.
Until I listened to the story... I could not have imagined a scenario ending in a player usurping the GM legitimately(through the game world). Then again... the other players could have taken his side then social pressure may have given him the reigns back.
I love how cleric went from a lost kid with a sheet of notebook paper to a mainstay of OP's group
"We started in high school, even though our characters were all 25 or older."
hhhhh
I mean the DM could have encouraged them to make characters who were teenagers or something.

4:08 Hi, I'm Chris Hansen, with Dateline NBC. Why don't you take a seat over there?
The latest 'Fast one' I pulled on my DM, was when my DM didn't know how much damage an Oathbreaker Paladin can dish out in one round of combat with a little fighter leveling on the side. Always fun, and a bit sad, to one shot the DM's big build up boss.
"YOU CAN'T OVERTHROW A DM! THAT'S NOT HOW DND WORSK!"
Watch me
Go full God-Emperor on the GM/DM...honestly, in MY campaigns, "God-Emperor" is just a normal player. lol
I also love how you went from Japan Weeb animation story...to Warhammer 40K. That did my steely Super Soldier heart some good.
And as for your Legalese wish? I probably would've done something like, "You are now stuck in the Eternal Nothing. You can't delete yourself, but can't create anything, either, having been the sole survivor of the literal end of time." Wouldn't be surprised if you had that kind of limbo also covered.
But, I do love how you actually became the GM.
One of my two favorite stories. My other on is where the trapped on the other side of a portal and the rogue flicks a coin through the portal and creates a green star. I can’t remember what video that was and I miss it
I've been grinding a game of mine for a 1% encounter, and your videos have been keeping me from going insane.
I found it!!!
What game?
Pokemon sword
The DM could have just said "I don't allow that kind of wish effect.", but I guess he just didn't realize that.
well if it wasn't able to be used then how did that one DMPC do it?
Pride cometh before the fall....
And a huge thanks to the OP for such an amazing success from such a horrible failure! May your Multiverse shine brightly for all eternity!
Oml this is perfection
I love how the intro captions are just channel teaser
This is taking the term “Forever DM” to a whole other level. Even when playing as a PC this guy ended up turning into the DM, True legend in my eyes.
Should've named the story "How I created a Human-Emperor of Manking who has achieved CHIM"
Damn, this is why I cant tell people I like anime 😣.
Also I really like 40K so him becoming the "emprah" was really fun
After I heard the line making power armour and augmented their psychic powers I instantly thought "why not go all Big E then?"
And sure enough the next line is them going full Big E.
That brought a smile to my face.
Any DM that let’s you get THIS POWERFUL is honestly pretty cool
Overthrowing a DM is pretty legit no lie.
14:04 looks like the bard and barbarian crossed over into our reality after the collapse.
Rubix: "Who died and made YOU God?"
Scion: "YOU did!"
I mean it sounds like the DM rolled with the punches and let the campaign go off from his original version. Whole it sounds like it had its cringe the campaign sounds like it was a good time.
6:17
...
Immediately, I just think "The Grinch got a wonderful, awful idea" followed by the growing smirk. XD
Oh yes you can over ride the DM. We homebrewed a spell to do just that decades ago. 1990. Orlando. DM Intervention Spell. When ever the DM did something that would totally screw us over for giggles, we would all stop, get up, grab the DM, take the DM outside, and hold the DM over the third floor railing. We would then give the vocal part of the spell, "Are you sure that's what happened to us?".
A yes I'm familiar with that spell I've had it used on me before but I always keep a gun next to me so it's rather a useless spell
Just use a wish spell to say I wish I was the DM.
@@emberfist8347 Wouldn't that just make the character the DM? That could easily shatter the character's mind. Reminds me of something that supposedly happened to someone once: rolled a nat 20 on an observation skill of some kind when there was nothing to find, so the character got a brief vision of being a piece in the game.
@@blarg2429 Since you are playing the character you would be the DM also.
@@emberfist8347 I mean, yeah, but there are still ways to use the old "yes, and" method to thwart this in principle. Not in the case this video concerns, but in general.
This video's a year old, but I still come back to it every now and again. Because I love it. It's not the first video I saw on this channel, but it IS the one that convinced me to subscribe to the channel, simply because this is just an amazing story on a literally epic scope. And, despite the faults with Rubix, I'm with OP; that despite his incompetence and arrogance, he did plant the seeds for a truly epic campaign ending (even if I would never with for someone to trudge through the rest of it). And I do LIKE the idea of the setting, even if it came form nowhere; with the campaign world being the dream world of the real world and vice versa and coming through the veil and back basically making you a God. It's such a cool concept and I'm glad OP got to yank the rug from under Rubix and create basically a D&D Multiverse and usurp the DM Chair.
Of all the stories I've listened to on this channel, this is definately my favorite.
"They said I could become anything, so I became the DM."
Dm:"I'm the dm"
Op:"Yes, of course"
Anyone else getting Nambla vibes just from his description of the campaign?... this weirded me out almost as much as my grade school principal who use to take good boys and girls out to dairy queen as a reward... I really wish I was making that up and I commend you for hijacking his campaign and going full god emperor of mankind, thank you for sharing.
simple answer to that dilemma, the armor with all the granted powers becomes itself sentient, controls to the person wearing the armor, that person being immortal by any account would make them the perfect symbiotic host. armor is under the DMs power, there for still an NPC, just re-writes the campaign universe there forward.
Now I’m genuinely confused.
If everyone is op, then no one is.
How is that not how it works in a setting full of all powerful creatures, gods etc.
I’m asking genuinely as I don’t want to make things unfun if I were to ever run a campaign
Edit: EVERYONE IS NORMAL IF THEY ARE *THE SAME LEVEL* OF OVERPOWERED!
The Weeb used the now modern equivalent of Psychological propaganda Russian Warfare (saying translated to equivalently,) "Everybody is corrupt, so why blame our faults?" Until the protagonist "Psion" used the technique against him when the "everything in the Universe fails apart to nothing" card was played this way.
From what it sounds like, it wasn’t that EVERYONE was OP, it was just the NPCs. The players were all around normal level, while everything they were surrounded by/went up against were at a level that could only be beaten by the other NPCs.
If you were to run a campaign with that, maybe you could make it so the level 1 players are lesser-gods, while the final boss is a true god or something like that? though idk, it's better to just have a normal campaign, way easier to calculate and balance things
Saying “forty-thousand” gave me psychic damage
I once got a dm inspiration when I asked about the dark evil seeming forest that this village would not speak about, being a somewhat cocky dragon borne gunslinger I asked “What in particular do you all not talk about in regards to the forest, so we may know what not to ask about...” got a huge smile from the dm too.
This is well done. Well done
I would love to play with that DM😂 "the DM that came to be"🤣

"To be fair, you have to be very smart to understand Dungeons and Dragons homebrew campaigns. The rules are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of sci-fi fantasy most of the details will go over a typical party's heads. There's also Derabo's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Dragon Ball Z literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of his jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike DnD homebrew truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Derabo's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as my genius wit unfolds itself on their campaign notes. What fools.. how I pity them."

I am probably going to regret posting this.

The big bang ending reminds me of the game my group played where I "accidentally" made a city. The city became the mid to late game for his next campaign, after a bit of a rail-roading to get pcs up to level. (levels 5 to... I think it died at level 15? for when the city was used by the GM.)
The game where we made the city died at level 17, and 100 years passed, and only a new avata.... wait, wrong story. 100 years passed, then we wrote off my old character with death by alcohol. *Technically death by acid, a weakness of the character. The GM would turn to me for how the city itself would interact with the party. It was a massive sprawling space that was lawfully run with illegal enterprises upholding the laws as well as law enforcement. A city where money could buy you anything, even immunity to the law. The downside was that I was never asked to give the notes I made for the city.
This city/country was 120 miles across, at least 3 miles deep, and was a flying chunk of earth. It was kept flying through magic and technological engines and propulsion methods, using some ruins found in the universe it was set in. This was a Pathfinder game. There were 13 concentric pentagrams ending in a 5 foot square at the center of the entire city, in the middle of the central spire/tower that was the final channeling point for the massive magics the city used. The contingencies for this city included using high-level wizards, sorcerers, clerics, and all who could cast a "wish" to scribe it onto a scroll for their final exam in the colleges and schools that were in this city. These wishes were then checked and cast to improve the city's defense grid, functionality, mundane functions, and improve propulsions methods.
Basically, this city was the crazy method of me trying to write off every method of destruction, rebellion, insurrection, invasion, and anything else I could imagine. The defense systems for the city were laid out in notes I still have. I laid out every since copper spent on the defense systems. From magic item creation to the triggering events, from the time delays, guard activations, turret firings, main gates, shops, homes, buildings, you name it I tried to write it down. The city never had a static layout excluding the spire. (Partially because when I tried to map it on a sheet of paper ~9 feet across my grids were about 500 feet as opposed the 5 feet. )
Errata'd logic for the city was that it got flung into the multiverse due to an event where someone, player errata'd and approved to have been my character in the future, was tinkering with the staff of time, unbreakable major artifact, and was somehow causing it to crack and break under the stress. These ripples caused an event that that started flickering reality between alternate versions of how things could play out. (Also got us 3 wishes that derailed the main plot, and I derailed this plot.) This incident ended with my wish to take the staff from where and when it was being broken to me at that moment. This caused the city to fracture out into the multiverse, existing in most realities simultaneously, or near enough. // TLDR: I wrote off this city as a possible inclusion for any campaign that wanted it by throwing it into the multiverse as its own separate plane.
One day I will remember to write the whole story of this campaign and city. Then I will finish writing up what the city was designed to be used for in other campaigns.
Omg that was epic!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A intelligence agency having more power than the head of state can make for a interesting story but not when they are also in high school.
unless of course its some parallel bug dimension where anyone over the age of 19 starts going senile and they need "the 'most learned' individuals to run society" If you can compel the reader or player to keep going and enjoy the story then you might have some decent writer's chops
@@Leviathis_Krade It's not even Senility. it's worse. it's Boredom! (Eyeroll)
perhaps the reason that the security club ran everything was due to the...special talents of the female students.
@@christopherbravo1813 No
that's actually a good point!
mace windu: you are on this council but we do not grant you the rank of master
student: WHY NOT?
government person: you are like 16! why would we let a teenager make important decisions?
OP: I am in my 30s
government person: THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL???
OP: I dunno ask the DM!
(a few sessions later)
OP: okay now that I am the DM I have decided that we are no longer high school students.
players: YEA!
Story was awesome! Makes me thankful that our DM has a basic understanding of d&d before we played our first game XD
this is so cool that I'm gonna base an entire world around the battle of the one who rose above the god, Rubix and became Richtoros the transcendent, he who planted the seed of reality.
I must not cringe. Cringe is the mind-killer. Cringe is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my cringe. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the cringe has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

"But I was not satisfied with *god*." 8'D
Are we ignoring that this man essentially uppended the universe and rewrote it and mixed the ashes of reality and dreamscape basically creating a multiverse
That beginning description of rubix world hurts so much.
Inexperienced DM: "If every is overpowered, no one is..." Player: "Is that so....well....we'll about that..." Player becomes God and DM leaves the room.
We'll about that...
4:30 ok I'm out goodbye everyone
I didn't pulled a fast one on my DM, I pulled on the system.
I was play a campaign (that lasted for about three years) on Old Dragon, a rpg system that brings back the hardships of the old system.
The history was about, resumed, the titans dragons who existed before the gods are returning, to make the world go back to the primal entropy, killing the gods and everything that wasn't a dragon.
The system makes very hard to players survive, in high risk/high reward missions to gain advantage to your races/kingdoms, we suffered 2 TPKs one encounter with only half of the party survived. I was the player who died the most, a front liner or tank until reviving spell became a option die was ridiculous easy, and I always jumped in front to danger to save the others. I even remake my story to be from a dwarven clan, who the chief was to be out in mission to help the world, and the wife/husband leads everybody.
I mastered the rules and could foresee 3 turns of the combat, sometimes the DM asked for a tricky rule or some strange interaction.
But always was a fighter, 3 times, or a cleric, one, in the final step of the campaign my friend who always plays a mage was try be a cleric, I usually take the missing role and ended being the mage, at level 15. When picking the spells, I noticed a very interesting one: "Permanence" a 5° level spell that can make any 3° or lower that has duration, last forever until dispelled or similar. Okay!
Mage armor, Shield, flying, extrasensory perception, "arcane strength", detect magic, etc, all permanent. The assassin needs no be seen? Invisibility last until he attacks or cast a spell, no time limit.
It's was so overpowering that I asked to my DM to nerf the spell, every small spell that would be powerful if had a longer duration, lasting forever? And from anyone spell on anything.
Or I discovered a loophole in the magic system or the developers let a mistake slip away.
There is a reason this spell don't exist anymore.
My sweet baby Jesus that was one of the best stories I’ve ever heard! I am truly shook at how that turned out and the narration on the story it was impeccable GD I love this channel
Ironically my new Horus Heresy books arrived today 😂
And I just remembered I bought a Heresy Book I still need to read haha
Thats the biggest "oof" I have ever heard of
This was done in a 5e lvl 20 one-shot set in the Doom universe. You know, power armors, demons, blood all that good stuff. My DM made a good few homebrew decisions, just to spice things up, like weapons and abilities and I started probing him about the extends of these homebrews. However, he removed the cap from fall damage AND he increased the damage to 1d12 per 10 feet. This was when a lightbulb exploded in my head. So I started researching a bunch of movementspeed increasing stuff and actually got some of it greenlit with my DM. So I meet up at our session. We had a giant robot player, in the lines of a Barbarian or whatever, a tiny robot player in the role as something of a Bard, we had a soldier as a Fighter and myself, as a Tabaxi Wizard named Duncan, but I spent time doing some weaksauce Wizard stuff like Fireball spam.
We started off on a spaceship and later we crash-landed on the planet, under attack from some demons we quickly disposed of. This campaign was in the spirit of Doom, so it was focused on killing a crapload of demons while having fun. We went through the labratory, where we encountered some demons here and there and at the objectives we got, we encountered some bigger stuff, but nothing we couldn't handle. The Bard did some cage-voodoo at one of the minibosses, which meant he was imprisoned for ages, while he was on fire and unable to move, which meant he burned to death before he got out. Anyways, we continue through the lab and get some generators online and kill more demons.
We eventually reach an elevator, which we got on and rode it a few levels down, where we were greeted by a giant hand that immediately grappled the Bard and tossed him across the room, where he fell prone and we rolled initiative against the GIGANTIC demon, towering well over even our big barbarian robot companion. Big Baddie time and I got ready to unleash what I had planned for. The fight started, and I went first. Immediately I cast Banishment on the demon and the DM was about to roll a saving throw when I kindly handed him a 4, from my Portent Divination Wizard.
The demon vanished, however, the DM wasn't having it, so he described as a tiny crystal slowly fell to the ground, shattering into a portal that sucked us all into the Hell dimension, where we witnessed the dead demon being brought back to life in blood-filled manners, true to Doom's gorefilled fantasy.
The fight went on, the Demon took his turn, he caged us in and started throwing attacks at us. I succeeded all of the saves and survived, while our Bard was knocked out and our Barbarian and Fighter still barely standing. They took their attacks at the boss, doing some pretty decent damage, however, I was just biding my time, waiting for the DM to call for my turn again, sitting there with a smile on my face. My original plan was almost executed before the crystal exploded, but this time, there was no extra dimension for the demon to pull us to, and so my turn came.
I cast Plane Shift and handed the DM another 4, automatically moving the Demon to another realm of existance and with no boss in the arena, the others had no other choice but to let me execute my plan. I cast Haste on myself and then, through a jetpack I had gotten from the ship, I used Fly. With my Boon of Speed I had talked the DM into giving me, along with my Mobile feat and Tabaxi racial stuff, I was able to move almost 6000 feet straight up into the air, before my Haste ran out and I decided to finalize my plan. Hell has no limit, as the DM himself had said, in any direction. And thus, I cast Gate and summoned the demon to me. The DM was confused and scared, he had anticipated before the session had begun, that I wanted to do some weird stuff, but I don't think he had thought about something like this.
The demon fell.
The demon fell for 5940 feet. The demon was falling for around a minute. The demon hit the ground. The demon took 594d12 damage. The demon took around 4000 damage. The demon did not survive. I had Feather Fall as a backup, in case I couldn't fly back down.
The barbarian player was amazed that I had thought so much about it. The Fighter was confused, as I don't think he was clear that we had homebrewed a bunch of stuff. The bard player was angry, because he had apparently picked Bard to do some shenanigans too, but I took his spotlight.
I think this session broke my DM, as he since has been almost paranoid of casters and cursing magic in his games since. He's a nice guy though and still DMs, and is pretty good at it, still letting us use magic and all that. I wouldn't have done anything like this in an actual campaign, but it was fun to exploit my DM's apparent lack of foresight or comprehension of the mechanics.
Power has a source. Whatever immunity he was granted must stem from another world - power - being. If he was granted immunity FIRST then the rest of his powers couldnt pierce his barrier, scattering into the cosmos, destroying everything, including whatever source supplies his immunity. Everything would be erased still, but he would die last.
