oh youre right, i could totally see dsmp as a dnd campaign with the rp and bloopers are nat 1s while rolling a dice. what classes would u think dteam be?

HI ANONIE this will be so long bear with me. i love dnd i love it so much i think about it every day of my life

like youre so right with the nat 1 analogy i just know sapnap could say the most awesome action ever and be hit by one and having their dm just describe in detail how badly he fucked up. Anyway, based on lore

i think dream would either have a warlock or a druid. with the first, THE DRAMA. i feel like him getting the book of revival and making a literal deal with the devil to revive people an becoming bent into learning everything about that power, its limits and how it can be used is soooo warlock also he would love to fuck with them dark magics and his character would be so fucking dramatic and i'm all here for it. also like this is so cdream

Unlike bookish wizards, warlocks supplement their magic with some facility at hand-to-hand combat. They are comfortable in light armor and know how to use simple weapons.

for the second i just think necromancer druids are just so fucking COOL and dream would adore to have animals on his side IS HIS DISNEY PRINCESS SWAG also he can still have magic nd stuff just less powerful -> maybe more focus on fighting? maybe even be the healer of their group

sapnap would obviously be the tank he'd love to have the physical prowess and buff and i just think he'd find it just fun to do the battle scenes — so like obviously barbarian and fighter are options. but i also think Maybe paladin? csapnap is just so loyal and is so faithful. he'd taje the blade oath but also he'd never get as good as other members of it <- about to throw up. OR PALADIN OF THE SHIELD. thinking outside of the dsmp and onto another character i think he'd have so much fun with is of course a ranger, also it would make for such awesome lore for druid dream + ranger sapnap growing up together in the forest. My dreamnappies they're family....

finally. george astounds me. a part of me says ranger too because of the stealth and the way he kind of slips into the foreground to get what he wants on the dsmp, but i also don't know if that's something he'd enjoy ... a While ago i shared more thoughts about dteamDnd but i can't find them and honestlu i just Don't Know... my gut says sorcerer or artificer tho. But idk if he'd have Fun. Maybe bard for the cunt of it all ... honestly if you have any idea .. cgeorge is a rogue tho no doubt of it

#SORRY FOR INFODUMPING AND THANK YOU FOR GETTING THE DND OF IT ALL¡!!!!!!!!!#star anons #dteam dnd au

OH FUCK I completely forgot to recount my dnd misadventures-

So this month my college's board game club has officially started and the main event is a West March campaign between SEVERAL DMs. The unique feature is that the 20+ players are simultaneously affecting the game world in different areas and quests in separate parties.

In comes my Copper Dragonborn lvl1 Druid by the name of Vani Amakiir (name taken from a fantasy name generator). Personality wise he tends to be a bit too trusting and asking too many questions. Previously working the docks of the southern harbors, he went north into the forests to try his luck amongst the druids and got picked up by one of the circles inhabiting it.

My plan for him is to make him an absolute tank. Circle of the moon + multiclass into Bear Totem Barbarian, he's gonna have AC and health for DAYS and mid game challenge rating power to carry him until it is RP appropriate to get him that angry. Barkskin and Absorb Elements for some early game defense. Don't worry, this power is mitigated by the fact that my Constitution and Dexterity suck ass as I had to get my higher points into Strength and Wisdom for the multiclass itself as well as my hit dice being mostly d8s.

Session 1: The Rat Trap

Disclaimer: long post under the read more

The party consists of a flamboyant half-elf twink bard played by a veteran DnD player, a halfling chaos sorcerer with a gambling addiction played by a forever DM, a goblin warlock with his newborn patron in his glass eye and a tiefling artificer who was min maxed to kingdom fuck played by a total beginner (they didn't know their own spell list) (it WAS funny).

We are all together in the Adventurers' Hall waiting for a dwarf to rifle through the current quests and give us something to do. He could tell we weren't up for much but there must have been something so he kept digging. After some exasperation he dusts off an older request.

"This one comes by every few months but no one picks it up" he starts off "too trivial for even our small fry. Rats in an inn's cellar."

We look amongst each other, no one was thrilled but the bard who would get to play hero for the inn owner and the goblin whose thoughts immediately went for rat stew. Not many other choices so we picked it up and went off into the city's busy streets.

The goblin was already acting skittish and restless so my boy picked him up by the scruff of the neck so that he wouldn't run off. Meanwhile the bard was acting all friendly with the artificer to make them loosen up.

We reach the inn, the bard leads the group. A flashy entrance and a melodic voice greet the elderly (?) owner and announce our arrival.

Immediately every bell went off. She was incredibly skittish and hurried up to sign the quest waiver and lock the inn shut before we even opened the cellar door.

Needless to say, it obviously wasn't rats.

Now that there wasn't much reason to maintain high alert, Vani let go of the goblin while trying to discuss how to tackle the request with the bard. This immediately backfired as he just fucking BOOKED IT for the cellar, yelling "RAT STEEEWW!!!" Vani closed in behind and the bard sent a mage hand with a lit torch to follow behind Vani before they also started coming down.

The cellar was unusually deep, too deep to use as an actual cellar and more akin to a bunker. There was another door at the end of the spiraling stairs and so the goblin stopped there to make sure it's safe to enter, letting the rest of the party stack behind and my druid to pick him back up.

The inside was dark but not without light, some lit torches lined the inner rooms of whatever this was. We sneaked through the first door and contemplated how to approach the next one. There was light, some shifting shadows and unfamiliar noises, something was clearly being worked on in the next room. Vani kept ahold of the goblin and covered his mouth while the other 3 opted to sneak in and get a closer look.

Ratfolk. They were digging out a room with pickaxes, some were on break playing with cards at a table they brought in.

The immediate reaction of the forward party was to sneak back out but the artificer failed the stealth roll and knocked over a pickaxe that was left in that corridor with their foot. All noise immediately stopped.

A shrill, broken voice called out in Common "Hag? That you?". The bard immediately cast Disguise Self to turn into the innkeeper and the other two shuffled out of the corridor to hide.

Turns out the innkeeper was in a bit of a hostage situation. The ratfolk immediately started threatening killing her grandchildren the same way they did her husband if they caught her again. Of course they didn't figure out it was the bard and after his stellar performance he backed off to tell us about the situation.

So we formed up in the corridor and and then I unleashed the goblin.

Combat start.

Now the observant amongst you may have realized a bit of a problem in the party lineup.

We had no martial classes.

This means piss poor total health amongst the party, below average armor class and our action economy is nonexistent. The only two that could occupy the frontline with half decent attack rolls were Vani, the bard and no one else.

Thankfully, all of the ratfolk were 6hp (very important damage threshold) and we managed to ambush them, with only the rat that previously threatened our bard being able to act in the first round.

The ratfolk eats an eldritch blast but stays standing to fire off a shot from its flintlock and miss. Our arti slings off a magic stone that fucking decapitates (max damage roll) it to finish it off, the sorcerer misses their spell and Vani goes in to occupy the choke point (his club missed) with the bard slinging mockery from the backline.

Round 2 and the goblin keeps slinging away eldritch blasts while the rest of the ratfolk mob my boy for his scales. Another rat gets decapitated by Vani biting off their head with Primal Savagery but a sixth rat is hiding around the corner holding a stone on its ear like a phone. I try (fail) to give subtle signals to the bard to turn the corner and stab the bastard but he fucking misses and is now engaged with three ratfolk.

After a couple more stones, spells and stab wounds, my boy is absolutely surrounded but manages to line up his breath weapon to MELT two of the remaining four rats for the rest of the party to close in and finish them all off.

So, problem: whoever the rat worked with knows we're here, we need to go. The sending stone (what the rat on the corner was using before) is broken on the floor but they had a chest that looked decently sized. Inside was a bunch of gold and gems, a potion that was "cold to the touch", a bead that reacted when force was used on it and a very handy satchel of 20 +1 lead bullets. Alongside the three flintlocks we looted from the rats it was quite the haul, especially so after the artificer found out they had firearms proficiency on their sheet.

We split the valuables and each pockets the first thing that catches their eye (Vani the potion, goblin the bead and arti the bullets) and get out of the "cellar". We surface, the bard tries to make another flamboyant call during our exit and we are immediately greeted with a hostage situation.

Outside the inn are about 8 or 9 ratfolk armed the same as the ones below and a self-proclaimed rat king with scraps of other rat folk tied to himself and his golden gun shoved into the mouth of the innkeeper at his side. We stole from him and he wanted payback. We could tell he wanted more than what we stole.

Meanwhile the sorcerer was whispering to the goblin "You know that bead you took? Toss it at him." And the goblin immediately followed through. It strikes the rat king and shines bright as the sun and results in what looks like a transparent dome 15 foot wide dome around the king.

Combat start.

This one was still just as stressful. I forgot to cast Cure Wounds before coming up the stairs so I'm at half my health and with a lot more people to hold off. But now we have an arti with two flintlocks, firearm proficiency and +1 bullets. While Vani stands his ground, they go off to the other side of the building and headshot two rat folk coming from the windows and the rest of the party keeps slinging cantrips to pick off kills. Three rats stack up on my boy, three others come from the other windows to our flanks and the rat king is throwing a tantrum because he's trapped, brutalizing the poor grandma and painting the walls with her in the process.

Arti keeps shooting fools and Vani manages to chuck an Ice Knife at the three fuckers that have stacked up on him. Knife hits the main target but no one is hit from the ensuing explosion. Unfortunately that did mean they got to swing on him and he was now on death saves.

The sorcerer however had a plan. He yoinked my potion and drank it immediately, getting giant strength and brawling with one of the remaining two rats, killing it. The rest of the party was starting to clean up but just as that was happening the dome dissipated, letting loose a very angry and very big rat.

The bard goes into melee with his rapier against another rat and gets knocked out, arti continues firing to pick off the stragglers and the other two are trying to focus down the king.

Meanwhile, I'm getting stabbed by a rat until it thinks I'm dead but instead I manage to stabilize and the rat king is now in engagement range. The sorcerer casts a lvl 1 spell and IMMEDIATELY triggers wild magic and rolls getting one size bigger, making him able to brawl the fucking rat king. He uses his three attacks to hold back the arti and sorcerer while finishing off our bard (may he slay in peace) (his words not mine). The sorcerer keeps stabbing him with daggers and the arti keeps shooting and slashing with their sickle until both the artificer and the rat king are on exactly one health point.

Now, our DM paused a bit to explain something. This is a situation where the only thing any character currently active could do would be to attack and any hit would kill on the spot. So the next few actions were purely rolls (mainly so the security guard could lock up at a reasonable time).

King misses, Arti misses.

The sorcerer hits. Feints with the knife and then does a suplex on the vermin to finish it off.

That bard was this entire world's first Player Character death and he will forever be remembered (specifically because the arti had Cure Wounds and could've saved him lmao).

This shit was gas.

I got level 2, getting Wild Shape and my Circle of the Moon subclass which means I get to have health pools individually bigger than any other class on our current levels during my wild shape because of the challenge rating unlocks it provides.

Discord Roleplay?

This takes place on discord. Please read the description below then feel free to join us! https://discord.gg/TpmEw7dvF7

Rajang RP

Date 4/22/15,092(mm/dd/yyyy) (This is a fantasy world, the year has no relevance to our world.)

This vast world is filled with magic, wonder, and adventure. It has so many amazing things from magical creatures to wars between lands. The land that our story resides within is the Land of Rajang. It is a large land with many things to explore and people to meet. It has four kingdoms within it, all of them having something very unique about them. There is an alliance in the land known as the Rajang Alliance. It was started 1500 years ago by the Kingdom of Liusaidh and the Kingdom of Tenebris. The Kingdom of Chromus was the next to join 600 years ago. The final Kingdom to join was Altendeyen and they joined 15 years ago.

The oldest of the four kingdoms is the Kingdom of Liusaidh, it is 3500 years old. Liusaidh is known for being highly adept at the use of magic. They have high trades in magical ores, potions, and enchantments. They have an annual hunting competition in a small section of the forbidden forest. The kingdom used to be known as a very kind kingdom and very secretive about the crimes that were committed within the kingdom. That was until the current Queen Moira took over, she is a 278 year old Elf who has been ruling for 89 years. Her people believe she is a savage do to her implementing public punishments when she gained control of the throne. When she was young she traveled to the surrounding kingdoms seeing how they handled their crime and how it worked so when she returned home she decided to use their methods in her kingdom. The Kingdom of Liusaidh is surrounded by woodland and mountainous land. It is a very wondrous kingdom with plenty of hidden secrets within it.

The second oldest kingdom is the Kingdom of Tenebris, it is 2200 years old. Tenebris is known for having a powerful army. They have high trades in weapons, food, and jewelry. They have a festival every year to celebrate finding one's soulmate(like a valentine's day festival). They also throw balls to celebrate any large event or the arrival of important people to the castle. The current King Jimmarrow is a 974 year old Werewolf who has been ruling for 300 years. The kingdom is known as a very beautiful kingdom. The kingdom’s people tend to use dark and light magic whereas the King uses forbidden magic. The people within the kingdom are mostly shifter races of people but they do accept all kinds of people. The King is known as a dark and dangerous man, there are many rumors that surround his name. Some true some not, there is a rumor that he was the one to destroy the kingdom of Saol. He has the nickname of the Blood Soaked King due to how many people he has killed in his lifetime. There is also a rumor that he can control dragons but, dragons don’t exist right? Tenebris is one of the few kingdoms that still believes that dragons exist in the world. People outside the kingdom fear the King but those inside the kingdom do not fear him. When he is wearing his crown he expects to be treated as a King but, when he is without his crown he is fine with being talked to as a normal citizen.

The third oldest kingdom is the Kingdom of Chromus, it is 900 years old. Chromus originates from a land far away overseas. It is known for the creation of magical artifacts and its global trading hub. They trade artifacts, higher quality food, silken robes and linens, spices, and common goods. The Kingdoms of Liusaidh and Tenebris go through them to sell their products overseas giving Chromus a percentage of their trades as payment. Besides making artifacts what makes Chromus unique is they aren’t ruled by a King or Queen. It is run by a council of five members, four of which being artificer’s of different colleges. Verden is the High Councilor, he is a Celestial that is 9,420 years old and has been ruling for 900 years. Nicholas is an artificer of medicine, he is a Tiefling that is 62 years old and has been ruling for 40 years. Christina is an artificer of science, she is a Halfling that is 306 years old and has been ruling for 244 years. Keo is an artificer of construction, he is a Vampire that is 974 years old and has been ruling for 299 years. Yazmin is an artificer of engineering, she is a Werewolf that is 862 years old and has been ruling for 572 years. The Kingdom of Chromus is also known as the Nation of Prosperity, Chromus stands as a place where people of all kinds can call a land of joy and celebration! Thanks to our amazing High Councilor, Verden Gloss, Chromus is protected by a strong and effective barrier to keep the citizens safe. The barrier is created with the use of highly advanced technology infused with ancient fae magic. This fusion has been named hextech, which also helped lead to the creation of artifacts used for multiple purposes that are to the benefit of Chromus, its people, and allies. Chromus is the foundation of all trade routes and company’s on the continent, connecting and supplying everyone with goods and advanced products.

The final and youngest of the kingdoms is the Kingdom of Altendeyen. There’s not much known about the Kingdom of Altendeyen. It had recently come to the land of Rajang, seeming to have appeared out of nowhere. One day the GodKing Chaos, a fallen angel from another plan, showed up and decided he liked the land and made his kingdom there. Chaos is 7,684 years old, he appeared on this plan 55 years ago and he began to rule 25 years ago. He came here from another dimension. He liked what he saw and decided to do what he and his people did best. Innovate and take over. He is going to be diplomatic at first. Inhabiting the northern ice caps and the volcanic region of the continent they strive for perfection. Mainly isolationists he sends diplomats and messengers out rather than risking speaking with those he deems unworthy.

Then there are those known as the Travelers, the travelers don’t currently belong to any of the kingdoms. They travel all around the land, some just to explore and some to sell items. They have all kinds of stories from across the land. They’ve been to the Forbidden Forest, the Maylah Swamp, the Ruins of Saol, and many other places across the land. One day they may choose to settle down in one of the four kingdoms or they may continue to explore. The choice is there’s to make, not ours.

So the question I have for you traveler, will you join one of the kingdoms or continue to travel this vast land we have been granted?
