    Impossible, if anything they were normal players, clearly that sniffle meant that the ancient red dragon actually casted disguise self on itself and is actually a terrasque with greater invisibility, and that cough clearly meant that the lovable goblin that they were travelling with is a shapeshifter and is actually the evil king they’re supposed to defeat at the end.

      NO YOU ARE WRONG
      the golden coins are polymorphed red dragon and terrasque the bandits were an ancient cult protecting the world and they best friend is a shapeshifter that works for the evil king but the evil king is also is best friend bucuse he have multiple personality
      and their weapons are mimics all of them in fact all the weopons in the world are mimics

      No, it is far worse. The planet devouring monster which Saiden Infinity keeps as a pet. Has shrunk down to a small size with a spell cast on the Terrask so it would do the same while riding inside of the creatures mouth. In reality, the creature and the Terrask are currently waiting inside of your beverage. When you take a drink, it is all over. It will grow, there will be pieces of Dungeons and Dragon player everywhere. 🐉

      In my very first session ever, a DM tried to walk me through the basics of the game in the form of a tutorial he had whipped up for such occasions. It was supposed to be super easy and just explain how things work while in game. So he puts me in front of a door which he says has no handle, no lock I can see and no discernable way to open it. He meant it as a really simple entry level puzzle, but it stumped me.
      I tried a few things like checking around for hidden buttons or a pressure plate or something, but when that didn't work, I got stuck there. On the first door of a tutorial puzzle that was made for first time players. After about 10 mins of fruitless attempts and trying random things in the hopes of getting lucky, it became clear to him that I wasn't gonna get it, because none of the things I tried even came close.
      Turns out, I was supposed to open the door by speaking a secret word that was engraved at the top of the door, but the engraving was hidden in the darkness of the tunnel I was in. All I had to do was cast some light to be able to see it. The DM had hinted at it subtly by saying that I arrived in a dark tunnel at the end of which was a dark door, then gave me a second hint by telling me that because I was a human, I didn't have darkvision. Waaay too subtle for a new player, lol. Went completely over my head. Everything after that was smooth sailing, though.

We threw rocks to see if it was a trap and everything.
    The wizard in out party was just like "screw it" and walked through.

    I literally binchwatched your Channel the last couple weeks, and once again, a great skit xD
    Overthinking is kind of the thing our group is best of. Once, we found an abondend Fortress, and hid there (it was stormy). Our DM described the scenery and she mentioned a second gate on the east side. This sounded super fishy and suspicious to us ("east side, there must be a reason, she mentioned it that specific way"). We then blocked both entries with everything we could find, to prevent anyone of coming in. Long story short, the fortress was haunted and by night we where attacked. Our 2 best fighters were afraid of corpses and undead creatures and we tried to escape. Only to realise, that we blocked our escape route xD
    It was not dnd, it was a tabletop Game we play in Germany, called DSA (das Schwarze Auge, or, "the black eye").

    Overthinking is assuming the DM put 75% more death traps in a room than he actually did, that empty hall must be full of ninjas, and the adorable NPC you found is a trap.
    When in reality, the DM didn't want to do a lot of work, put 2 traps only in the room (that magically the party walked into both), forgot to place combat encounters in the hall so the players get a free pass, and the adorable NPC is going to be a new player's character.
    Player reaction: Spend 20 minute examining an unlocked/untrapped door until the DM begs them to just go through, set the hall on fire to try and draw out 'the ninjas' and then kill the adorable npc, much to the new player's frustration.

    Meanwhile, what the DM was actually thinking: "Crap crap crap I don't know what to do next crap they weren't supposed to kill the bandits this session what do I do oh crap they're getting suspicious uuuuuhhh quick roll some dice okay that's a seven what does that mean I don't know what I'm doing maybe I should give them gold that's usually a good bet yeah I'll give them like eighty four gold good plan DM oh who am I kidding I'm a FRAUD--"
    The players would later go on to say it was the best session in memory, with excellent narrative structure and well executed planning.

    Yesterday in our session we had a meeting with a governor of a city. We were told to remove our weapons. Every single one of us thought it would be a trap and, while almost all of us aren't weapon based and instead spell based, we all attempted to get past this with our weapons. The DM said outright it just made sense to have us remove weapons, and every attempt but one failed

    As a DM who loves making players sweat, I really loved this one. I include a lot of gothic stuff in my game specifically for this reason. My next game I'm including a creature that can spit necrotic fluid into their eyes just to mess with the fighter's head, since it's a fluid he's a little squeamish about. It's going to be great.

    My players two weeks ago when I presented them with a magic shop that functioned like the shop in Howes moving castle (where the pin wheel dictated it's location).
    All they had to do was knock on the door but instead they destroyed it by messing with the wheel and couldn't buy any magic items on the down low and had to go to magical wal mart that wouldn't sell a non citizen anything.

    One of my favorite examples of over thinking is:
    DM: You see a door in front of you
    Player: Okay... I check the door for traps *rolls*
    DM: You do not see any traps on the door
    Player: Uhhh okay... I check the door for magical traps *rolls*
    DM: You do not sense any magical traps on the door
    Player: Okay, um, I'm out of options then so I guess I just have to open it?
    DM: You open the door
    Player: And?
    DM: The door is now open

    After killing a mimic, our party came across a door in a cavernous ruin. DM said the door looked like it didn't belong. I, the warlock, decided to punch the door to make sure it wasn't also a mimic. I didn't say I thought the door could be a mimic, so the paladin thought I was trying to bash the door in and kicked it. Then the rogue/bard used fire bolt to burn the door down.
    The door was unlocked and the trap was attached to the magic item that lay within.

    I loved every aspect of this... But now I am thinking of a Dice God DM....
    Each character is assigned a dice set. When the character dies, their player must forfit their dice to the DM's Bag of Souls (donate dice for keeps). However, when the players manage to kill the BBEG, they are each awarded a set of the DM's dice as a trophy for their exploits.
