Missed connection: WWTRD on the bracelet - what would the rock do.
Sorry for late comment. Listening to episodes while cataloging books at my library. You are the most just court… well… idk. Murph is suspect. Shout out to Aabria - hope I served you a beer at the Deadwood, Iron Hawk, or Airliner while I was tending bar, go hawks!

There is a part in Shrek where Fionna is fighting off bandits and it was very monk like more so than rogue

IHearing Abria talk about a campaign where she let a player use an npc as a participant in a pedgent, sound an awfull lot like what she did for Orym/Liam in CR EXU. She even mentioned the player was a hanfling 😉

Weren't they technically on the DM's side for the egg case? since they ruled that it wasn't a plain action to force-feed?

The swelling of music in the background as murph describes the 1v10 dinosaur fight was such a good touch to making that awesome monologue even better

The money one is just the pc being stuck up, if you were against a group of wizard thieves who cast command, or hold person guess what you just lost all of your gold for failing a saving throw, so to avoid any potential issues in the future will you can do is have one member of the pyramid scheme part of the darl cult, and he'll buy your blood ( blood of the willing and greedy ) so you can take damage and recoup the money you lost

Murph that improv of yours was so amazing! That's the mark of a great GM right there.
And I guess of a great catholic too, because talk about proper guilt slinging!

If I was the dm I would only let someone play as shrek if they agreed to only roleplay in shreks voice

As far as the encounter where the npc convinces the players’ characters to give them gold via wisdom save. Imagine your the only player that had to dump wisdom and you are saving up for full plate armor, and your character is not allowed to be mad at this guy because you gave it “willingly” and you feel unfairly targeted.
Obviously DM did not intend to target this player with this encounter but you do have to consider what money means to the individuals playing. And what it represents. Before presenting homebrew mechanics.

Comment on the MLM encounter - getting "swept up" in an MLM irl can have devastating consequences, and it's often a traumatic experience for those affected.
I would have been uncomfortable in this situation. My parents lost everything to an MLM, and my stepdad has never been the same. Now, my response as a player in this situation would have been to attack the non-cromancer, but that's because I react to MLMs with rage, not shame.
It could be that the player was upset because they know this trauma or know someone who went through it. They probably should have spoken up, but they might not have been comfortable explaining why.
The additional lack of player agency and choice could have made their experience even worse. Hence leaving the game permanently instead of talking it out.

Oh! Shrek could also be a ranger or druid with an awakened Donkey companion!
Martian
2022-04-29 20:44:47 +0000 UTC
I would think Shrek would probably be a fighter more than a barbarian or a rogue. Like Shrek is grumpy but he doesn't go crazy with rage. I can see a Han Solo-esque rogue because they have the same vest and flout the laws on man

I had a player make Shrek and we made him a Genie Warlock in which Donkey was his genie giving him power. He played for a few games and practically committed suicide in combat because he didn't like playing D&D. He now lives in his beer bottle genie vessel that the party keeps with them.

*clutches pearls* I cannot believe the Shrek slander I'm hearing! Do they not know that Shrek is love? That Shrek is life??

Since most of them haven't seen it, we definitely need a Shrek mixed bag of holding

Jake plunging desperately into his bag of accents for Shrek and coming up with "weird Irish" and "cartoon pirate" instead of Scottish is so so funny.

Aabria fits so fucking well. That was hilarious start to finish. Jake is such a team player - what a dream improv partner. I was nearly crying with laughter during the whole protracted Shrek impression. Bonus cases can't come soon enough

oh boy, that egg argument...DnD provides a set of rules for combat. If you can describe how you can do it in real life, there's a check for it.
I sincerely can't imagine prying someone's teeth open with one hand and putting an egg in with the other while in a combat. Just doesn't work in reality!
Has to either be with stealth or deception!
Like launch it into their mouth with a sling at disadvantage to hit for a called shot.
or trick someone into eating it at dinner.
I do like the command or suggestion option too.

2022-04-29 14:28:00 +0000 UTC
I have so many thoughts on case 1 ALL OF THEM ARE CALDWELL AS BEVERLY BEHAVIOR lol. Bev’s Javelin vs crock in moonstone, giant vs Bev in frost wind shoving things in his nose. The only success was the vomit berry on the snake at the crick in 1 round. A bouquet of roses for murph handling each one. And a plethora of roses to Caldwell!
Best of luck to the dm in case 1. Your campaign will never be dull ^_^

I appreciate the ruling on my twin’s Shrek, but after I wrote that I did hear back from the rest of my party. It turns out my friends are just insane. The other two members of the party are a dwarf grad student cleric trying to find a PhD advisor and a pink tiefling artificer named Kirby with two Dragonborn adopted dads. So Shrek stands I guess, but I will be deadly serious with them

if you asked me about the case with the MLM encounter, i’m fully on the player who left’s side. if you’re in a situation that you are uncomfortable in, especially when you’re supposed to be having fun, it is absolutely your right to up and leave (even if it makes you look like a dick)
H-Train
2022-04-29 12:17:16 +0000 UTC
If Aabria is about to be a guest before Beardsley, what an injustice! P sure the rest of the core d20 group has been a guest and Ally hasn't yet?
Still though, I love Aabria so I would still be excited to see her guest on an arc.
We just need a Beardsley guest moment.

I had a similar idea for a BBEG that walked the line between fantasy and reality on tapping into the ability to change rolls. I made him a Halfling Divination wizard with the Luck feat, who had several minions at his disposal. As a lair action, he could kill one of his own minions to gain another portent roll.
The encounter was very interesting, playing with the idea of using magic to turn fate in your favor. It was challenging for the party but they liked it. The Cleric even got his robe that gives the wielder 1 portent roll per long rest. Good times.

Also re God punishment/insta death and first sessions... I was getting memories of the first three black halflings live play and how Jasper basically offended a God. Instead of just killing him, Jeremy had the god role some persuasion checks and Unati (thankfully) had great diplomacy to assist.... But Jasper basically ended up playing a sorcerer with fish hands for a long time.... Which had huge consiquences for sematic spells until he got meta magic.... Also hilarious fish trial and law stuff that was just great.... It was a pretty awesome mini campaign 😂

This makes me so happy to listen to you guys together that I need..... I NEED y'all to play together..... I can't decide who should DM though and I'm leanig towards Caldwell 😂🤣
Abria and naddpod energy is just too joyous.
Bat-Fran
2022-04-29 09:15:05 +0000 UTC
That sales pitch encounter is so wildly disrespectful to player agency it made my forever DM blood boil. At no point should the DM control a choice that the player character makes, barring enchantment magic. Decision autonomy is the ONE thing players have to shape the story, and unless that player was abusing that autonomy (like in the "I want the rock I need the rock" case), it's not the DM's place to take that choice away, or even to leave it to dice rolls.

Rosanna
2022-04-29 08:13:20 +0000 UTC
Disrespectful specifically to the DM and the obvious hint to back down and go with the story. It’s game 1; this is clearly something the players were supposed to go with to set the story for the campaign.
MrMach6
2022-04-29 08:11:01 +0000 UTC
Hot take: unwinnable encounter on game one is super rad and has been done on record successfully many times (see Chain of Acheron as example). The player was being a shithead, being difficult on purpose and fully deserved to be stomped.
I also don’t think a god should have to do so much as lift a finger to kill an early-to-mid-level adventurer, and the player honestly shouldn’t have a chance of surviving if they’re stupid enough to step to a god like that. If you’ve played literally any D&D you shouldn’t need a DM warning to know that what the player was doing was suicidal, stupid and disrespectful.
