Like that suggestion a lot more than the alternative of the DM just being a dick for no reason. The quest becomes:"Why is she there and why isn't she willing to come back?" You can design a whole adventure on it and it could be a fun and emotional time for your players.
There was a race in 3.5 whose name I've forgotten, but they were essentially Humanoid orcas. The book was Stormwrack, and it was all about sailing, ship combat, and aquatic races for your campaigns.
miranda, wearing her casual princessy outfit, is followed by a suitor and seen entering the castle of firefang the ruthless and the portcullis slamming behind her. she is later heard screaming while a jet of flame shoots from an upper story window. the suitor hastily runs to hire someone to rescue her, going with a well renowned knight who was in the village to have their armor repaired earlier that day. in reality, miranda returned home after leaving her armor at the smith, shut the door behind her, went upstairs and ate some incredibly spicy curry made with enchanted peppers, she yelled out and involuntarily released some flame breath, luckily aiming out a window and not catching her room on fire. then when she returned to town to get her armor back, she was accosted by a quest giver who says someone was trying to hire her.
That Barrington story is literally the plot to EVERY Chickenboo Short from _Animaniacs._ For those too young _(dunno if it's in the reboot)_ it's a giant chicken that dresses like a man, gets mistaken for a famous or skilled person/celebrity/hero is literally JUST a large chicken, and every time 1 guy notices, starts ranting & raving about the giant chicken "are you all blind?!" only to be roughed up and thrown out of ghe building. I also believe the disguise occasionally fell off and the crowd would ALL notice and panic because it's a 7-foot tall fucking chicken.
Chicken Boo, what's the matter with you? You don't act, like the other chickens do. You wear a disguise, to act like human guys, but you aren't a man, you're a Chicken Boo.

The cover usually got blown near the end of Chicken Boo's segments, causing whoever fell for it to angrily kick him out.
When workers form a group like this, it is called a union. When witches do it, it is called a coven. You did not invent a warlock union, you just made your own coven.
@@peteralexandergraae2830 hmm you just gave a good idea. A campaign for a bake off. You could even have a mysterious Barber show up and he could a shop called "the final cut professional" with a bakery below called "a slice of life". Your goal in the campaign is to find out who is murdering officials. As you get closer, he might offer the players each a cut "to be quiet".
@alricmalicorne321 warlocks are given power not necarrily by gods infact most anybody but a god so if the definition of a religion is a place for collective worship of deity that wouldnt be correct for a collection of warlocks that worship say a fey lord or a ranking demon or unfathomable horror because these arent necarrily gods simply powerful beings who bestow power to those under them to do there bidding I also wouldnt call them a coven because a coven insulating the power within for growth union would be apt for analogy for a cult a coven eould be more like the top end coes of a company who benefit from the power of those beneath them
I'm now picturing the party as being from another short: "It says it's full of wyvern poison!" The rogue, calculating her risk: "It's okay, I've got some levels of poison resistance... Okay, not that many levels." *Drops from bad at math damage*
That last one really annoys me, gives a perfect setup for a big reveal after it fails as the soul cant be found, meaning its trapped somewhere, and that leads towards the bbeg for something like the bbeg having an amulet that traps killed souls inside it that they are using to do some big evil plan, so the only way to be able to resurrect the wife is by destroying the amulet then resurrecting her.
Instead of being a rogue bear, be a Druid bear, and get a human 'animal companion' to act as your butler. He gets bonus hd as your companion yae! Ask instead of wild shape into animals if you can wild shape into humanoids, Tiny pixie, Small halflings, medium dwarf, large and huge types of giant. However when you speak in those forms your character only says their species name when talking but somehow can communicate effectively with others of their species. Dwarf wildshape "Dwarf dwarf dwarf. Dwarf dwardwarf."
Half-orca thing reminded me how for a custom Savage Worlds campaign I used the water people as a template to make a humanoid dolphin man. Made him a janitor in the interdimensional company because he can clean the water tanks without the diving gear. The main joke is that he's often responsible for cleaning the septic tank. Sorry, Dillon, I just love to make you suffer.
I’m SO glad TH-cam’s algorithm suggested this channel to me after the rough start I had this morning. It’s single-handedly turned what would’ve been a s◼️ty day into a fantastic one. Thanks for the laughs, @ZacSpeaksGiant 👏🏻👏🏻😂
@ZacSpeaksGiant I mean she is content being in hell so something shady must be going on and there was a cult involved, I really hope that's how the dm played it
Only if the player is okay with their character's goal/motivation and the backstory for their character's wife being altered like this. Because it sounds like the player had a pretty straightforward desire for their character, so unless the DM asked if the player was okay with them getting creative with elements of their character arc and backstory I could easily see the player getting pissed about this.
@Floweramon dude if you get mad about a dm filling in the gaps left by the roles you literally need to find a new game, it is not ok to treat your dm like crap because the duce didn't go the way you want. I suggest you speak to a luscensed mental health provider because again if you're getting mad about the dm doing the job of dm then you need to not play. You don't get exclusive and total controll over your backstretch, if a dm wants they can have you scrap an entire backsotry on a wim and that's perfectly fine for them to do, no your character can't be the literal christ or Satan or something and they don't need to ask you first to so that. You show up with your character and backstop and are like "here's what I have now let's make a story" getting mad about this would be like getting personally pissed off that the dm hit a crit on you at the start of combat and rolled 1 damage anyway, like you're pretty much unchanged but the dice rolled the way they did and the dm played the game, the only one fucking around is the one throwing a fit that the game of make-believe isn't going their way and involved *second scratch and cat yowling.* making believe 🙄 Christ you sound like a petulant child crying that it's not their birthday cake at a party lmfao Be passed at thr dice not the dm it's not fucking railroading its a dice roll for fucks sake.
"Linear storytelling" is just a fancy name to put on "railroading". If we wanted to follow a singular plot that was all laid out we could read a book, watch a movie, or play a video game.
Two notes: DragonPrincessKnight... just... just collect the reward yourself. Hire an actress to play a princess, who will double as a witness to your heroic slaying of the foul dragon, and get the gold. Secondly, how bad a husband do you have to be for your wife to choose staying in HELL over being resurrected to be with you again?
I single handedly killed a game. We had a specific gesture we used when making jokes, that indicated whether it was in character or out. Well, our party was walking on egg shells, and were facing off against this warden. Very powerful, very important. Well, I made a joke, I was a Bard after all. I was asked "was that in character, or out." I said "well it's supposed to be out, but I forgot the gesture so, playing by the rules, it's in I suppose." The Warden cursed me with an INT curse. My class usually used WIS (or maybe CHA, I can't remember anymore) as the base stat, but thanks to a particularity to my build, INT was my base stat. Yeah, my build was neutered immediately. I had an INT of 1. The rest of my party didn't find it funny. One grappled the Warden, one grabbed a big hammer and went full on Gallagher to her head. I rolled to drool on the wall and missed. That promptly derailed the entire game, since now this essential NPC's personality was sprayed all over the room, and a bit clinging to the bottom of a hammer head. In my GMs defense, he picked INT to curse, not realizing that was my important stat. Had he known, he'd have picked something else to avoid literally the exact thing that happened. Of course, had I not made the joke, the Warden wouldn't have been offended, and we wouldn't have had to return to her girlfriend with a bloody hammer, with bits of skull and an eyeball stuck to it to say "well good news, you can come and go as you wish now...."
Had a bear character that was in part responsible for me leaving the table. Long story short, the Dm at the time (we rotated) told us he had a hardcore campaign and wanted us to bring our “A” game...the most OP character you can make within the rules. So I had a monk/cleric/champion of Bharai (can’t remember spelling). The Champ lets you wild shape to and from a bear (stronger bears as you progress) and gives spell progression and lay on hands. So picture a polar bear with kung-fu, 6th lvl heal spells, stunning attacks AND ridiculous grappling and AC....yeah his hardcore campaign quickly turned into him creating new rules on the spot to nerf my character as much as possible. Oh yeah I had several champion of good abilities to like touch of golden ice and vow of poverty, this was 3.0-3.5 so I had an impossible AC even when I’m grappling someone
Do you have a second channel where you post more videos of game play than the single campaign on this channel? I’d love to watch more gameplay with you as DM. Regardless I’m glad to have found your channel!
Aww thanks! I'm planning to upload more episodes of that campaign into that playlist but unlisted. I'm also about to start a new campaign with my group (from the horse throwing video) that will be going up on TH-cam as well
"Chicken Boo, what's the matter with you? You don't act like the other chickens do. You wear a disguise To look like human guys. But you're not a man You're a chicken, Boo."
No joke, I love the idea of the bear character as an npc. Make him the mayor of an important town and have the players constantly make ridiculously high perception checks to see if they can see through it. Sounds like fun
I just realised that the story about the wife could be because the PC was pretty clearly an abuser and the player couldn't understand that, and the DM couldn't come up with anything better. Still probably not the right thing to do, but sometimes I can understand.
i use to love playing awakened animals in 3.5/pathfinder 1. I ran an awakened horse gunslinger who hired an noc to maintain him and shovel his poop. This videos idea really goes past that thoughm as muy horse char just told people he was a druid out of combat
If the whole warlock union/cult manages to obtain official status, does it become a religion? If so, do all the warlocks have to respecialize as priests?
the pc's wife was in hell and refused to be ressurected? sounds like she's having the time of her life down there. who knows, maybe her special place in hell was on the throne
Bears have 2 int. They don't have a language. They are incapable of complex planning. If this is a setting where "bear-men" exist with normal human intelligence and a language, why is it weird that one of them should rise to prominence?
generally it refers to places and things that have "universal cultural value" in the context of D&D, it refers to a collection of the most famous/infamous stories from the hobby (usually posted on 4chan)
The last story is the only good one. the others, while funny are just troll stories, no one I know who plays DnD would dare to try such a character, because it may be funny of a one shot, but it would probably grow old very fast ! An the contrary, the last one is very interesting. A player makes a pretty basic life goal for their character, something simple that can take some time but would be accomplished eventually and without much trouble. And from that "basic story" the DM decide to expands on it, creates an interesting plot around it and give fuel to the character's story to continue and to grow, why is she in Hell ? and why is she unwilling to be resurrected ? that create mutliple question and to answer that, the player will have to dig deeper in their own story, that is VERY interesting and that's what good DM are doing. I remember a campaign on "The Cardinal's Blades" a RPG made on the lore of the books written by Pierre Pevel. a player's story was "I'm french but I grow up in spain and I have no contact from my parent who are still libing in spain" And the DM created a whole story where his parents where Spies that were infiltrated in the dragon society based in spain and using their name he infiltrated the dragons we wre trying to slay andhalped take them down ! A good GM takes an interesxting story and goes deeper making it epic ! I bet this player who was only seeking to resurrect his wife will remember this story for a very long time !
Or be absolutely pissed to high heaven that the one and only thing he wanted to do and was finally able to do got ripped from his fingers for no apparent reason whatsoever by the dm. Could be a good story but I know a lot of Internet people would hear that "nah she's in hell and wants to stay there" line and just dip out immediately after. Cause to them it was unprompted and unwarranted to add it in. Dude had a single goal and dm last second said no. Again could be an interesting story/adventure, but that's assuming the dm was able to calm them down and explain it to them before they packed up their stuff and left the building.

I just realised that the story about the wife could be because the PC was pretty clearly an abuser and the player couldn't understand that, and the DM couldn't come up with anything better. Still probably not the right thing to do, but sometimes I can understand.
Someone should try the bear in DND 5e
Inb4 party host is fae.
That wizard is just a fey
i use to love playing awakened animals in 3.5/pathfinder 1. I ran an awakened horse gunslinger who hired an noc to maintain him and shovel his poop. This videos idea really goes past that thoughm as muy horse char just told people he was a druid out of combat
How bad of a husband does one have to be that the wife would rather stay in hell than be with him again.
If the whole warlock union/cult manages to obtain official status, does it become a religion? If so, do all the warlocks have to respecialize as priests?
can sombody do more isekai champaigns i could only find 2 mayby tree
Bard?
Rogue?
Same guu different shstiq.
Bards are Rogues.
Lol
the pc's wife was in hell and refused to be ressurected? sounds like she's having the time of her life down there. who knows, maybe her special place in hell was on the throne
Bears have 2 int. They don't have a language. They are incapable of complex planning. If this is a setting where "bear-men" exist with normal human intelligence and a language, why is it weird that one of them should rise to prominence?
To my players who watch this channel, one of these things will be included in my campaign. figure it out >:D
Let me guess: the warlocks' patron was Undead by the name Vladimir Lenin?
What is World Heritage?
generally it refers to places and things that have "universal cultural value"
in the context of D&D, it refers to a collection of the most famous/infamous stories from the hobby (usually posted on 4chan)
Reckon the bear is based on an adventure time episode lol
why is some of the text green? it's a bit hard to read, could you try a different text font i think it would help
They are stories from 4chan called greentexts
My friend 🤣
The last story is the only good one. the others, while funny are just troll stories, no one I know who plays DnD would dare to try such a character, because it may be funny of a one shot, but it would probably grow old very fast !
An the contrary, the last one is very interesting. A player makes a pretty basic life goal for their character, something simple that can take some time but would be accomplished eventually and without much trouble.
And from that "basic story" the DM decide to expands on it, creates an interesting plot around it and give fuel to the character's story to continue and to grow, why is she in Hell ? and why is she unwilling to be resurrected ? that create mutliple question and to answer that, the player will have to dig deeper in their own story, that is VERY interesting and that's what good DM are doing.
I remember a campaign on "The Cardinal's Blades" a RPG made on the lore of the books written by Pierre Pevel. a player's story was "I'm french but I grow up in spain and I have no contact from my parent who are still libing in spain"
And the DM created a whole story where his parents where Spies that were infiltrated in the dragon society based in spain and using their name he infiltrated the dragons we wre trying to slay andhalped take them down !
A good GM takes an interesxting story and goes deeper making it epic ! I bet this player who was only seeking to resurrect his wife will remember this story for a very long time !
Or be absolutely pissed to high heaven that the one and only thing he wanted to do and was finally able to do got ripped from his fingers for no apparent reason whatsoever by the dm. Could be a good story but I know a lot of Internet people would hear that "nah she's in hell and wants to stay there" line and just dip out immediately after. Cause to them it was unprompted and unwarranted to add it in. Dude had a single goal and dm last second said no. Again could be an interesting story/adventure, but that's assuming the dm was able to calm them down and explain it to them before they packed up their stuff and left the building.
