@@romansilverwolf6422 SAME. Elder Scrolls games are a million times better when you do! I always give my characters bg story-based nerfs and limits - for instance, they can only learn one base-level fire or healing spell because of an aversion to magic and hate high elves because their family were murdered by them etc - and it gives SO much more to the game and helps combat some of the op/broken mechanics. I once, for kicks, made a khajiit who was both allergic to and terrified of wolves and werewolves. Like- blindly throw a fireball and run the other way level terrified. It made sauntering through the woods (the closest I ever get to fast travel is using the horse carts if my destination is literally at the other side of the map, because immersion) way more interesting and complicated from the very first day. When you have to be constantly on the lookout for, then backtrack, hide and find an alternate route just because of the ubiquity of the first-available enemy, it adds so much more life, impact, immersion and personalization to the game.
I can see his logic though. All mythologies have a form of great or evil serpent. Judo-Christianity had a serpent in the Garden of Eden, as well as the cockatrice (or rooster headed dragon), and the leviathan (fire-breathing water dragon). Then again, not all fantastical myths in all countries involve a draconian either. Some have demons, trickster shapeshifters, fairies, spirits...
@@LocalMaple I don't remember cockatrices when I read the Bible. I distinctly remember the levitation and the dragon in Revelation, but I don't recall a cockatrice.
Mii's character sounds oddly familiar. She wears pink, is very bubbly, was in a circus and is very adept at fighting. Sounds alot like a certain chi blocker I know
@@SamA-cw3be Larry's kind of player is beyond redemption. They must be granted The Emperor's Peace or yet corrupt other new players to their foul ways.
Honestly you can change a player like Larry you just have to throw him out of a few games and he’ll eventually get the picture. If not a couple of ass beatings after the game will fix it.
Some of my inspiration was my time as a musician, I was also watching a lot of Cirque du Soleil, so thats in there too. And i won’t lie, there is some Ty Lee. Really my first thought was a bard raised in a monastery. Someone who rebelle against the rigid way of life, but thought going the other way could be more interesting.
Well, the art is drawn like Ty Lee. And is very much describes her character. What I don't understand is how Larry was so adamant about how "useless" Mii was. Even most murder-hobos have some sense of "right role for right scenario". This guy isn't just a murder-hobo, he's just an asshole, plain and simple
"Half elf. That's like the worst race for a monk." What? Half-elves give +1 to 2 different stats and proficiency with two skills. I think Larry is too obsessed with combat numbers.
@@rararasputin8608 I find it sad that I will never hear the beautiful croaking about rainbows along with the strumming of the banjo in my dnd campaign.
I had a monk character in a homebrew setting that got so powerful he used ki to rupture the space time continuum just to save his wife. Monks are BAMFs
This is not an unreasonable thing to say. For a very long time the monk class was not viable. Under 5e it is viable, but not every subclass. The issue stubbornly persists. And its not a simple issue either as one subclass (long death) is much more powerful at low levels. Some subclasses (not just of monk) are situational. For example, a gloomstalker ranger is a wise choice...for the Underdark. It is a terrible choice for the desserts of calishem. Beastmaster, original rules...HORRIBLE. Under new rules, pretty good. Minmax is an ignorant term. The correct term is viable vs not viable. Wizard with a maxed out intelligence score...viable. Wizard with the bare minimum of 13 to enable the class. Not viable. I mean what I say. You are just wasting everyones time if you can't actually cast anything and have a reasonable chance of the saving throw working. This extends to play. A wizard, just as an example, who attacks a weakness is effective but the same wizard with the same spells who is too stupid to do this is ineffective. I once held a troll, for example (low wisdom score) nearly helpless with tashas laughter while my party demolished what it normally could not handle. If I did that on a NPC cleric...I am just wasting a spell slot. Playing my cleric, often the most devastating spell I can cast is the humble Bless. Why. High AC. You understand? The monk class, often lacks synergy. It's a weak fighter variant.
European Dragons mostly are Evil Fire Breathing Lizards. Asian Dragons are wind, river, Spiritual Entities turned flesh. Asian dragons are guardians of temples, of heaven(s), of hell(s). Some emperors turned into dragons.
Lmao Half Elves are contenders for best race in the game because of their versatility, which *AHEM* let's them be good at literally any class. In addition, while Monks in previous editions are pretty inefficient (to say the least), 5e Monks are more streamlined and very cool. Larry is an idiot, even by murderhobo standards, and is absolutely talking out of his ass.
@@evangrescol7772 Half-elves are indeed good at anything you want! I'd also go so far as to argue that there are no bad race/class combinations anymore. Nobody gets penalties anymore, and an unconventional choice will often still provide really nice helpful bonuses. Even a dwarf Sorceror is good, because depending on your subrace you'll get either bonus HP or the ability to wear medium armor. These are both nice bonuses!
@@SamA-cw3be iv never played in league before and hope these stories are the few bad encounters with people. I hope not every table suffers from people like larry XD, and I hope larry has had a change of heart for sure
@@Hidden-Brush-org when they get to that level, as far as I know they usually don't. the game is just stats and numbers to them, the stories and roleplay is something they just have to begrudgingly wade through.
More like he leaves gets kicked out of several more games ends up in a Dungeon Crawl group gets bored and either starts actually role playing or does something else at about the same time he would have made that decision regardless. Anyone who says they're teaching someone a lesson in these situations is either covering their ass or the type of arrogant that makes them think they're farts don't smell. We don't all get along I don't expect us to but lying about that shit puts you a lot higher on my shit list then Larry.
“Bre and Mii didnt do anything!” Oh good lord had he not payed ‘any’ attention to how they basically coordinated, along with Tom, an expertly executed covert infiltration and rescue effort that also lead to the destruction of a very, very powerful enemy? Larry was little more than a mindless bandit.
Honestly "shut up, we'll call you when something needs to die" would satisfy a few murder hobos I've heard of. They just wanna kill shit anyway, why not?
@@janschievink1586Tom did say that. I didn’t embellish in this story. I rearranged a few things for narration purposes (the gm ran the adventure round robin style so it would be on us for a little. It, then move to someone else, and then to someone else, and then back on us which would have been confusing to read), and left stuff out (like when Larry told a lesbian player to stop being gay), but I didn’t embellish.
Gotta say, as much as I love characters who are "traditional", I love characters that go against type. Noble barbarians, for example. Tribal shaman bard. Stuff like that.
Mine's more of the 'Protect the Pack' sorta Barbarian. For him, the party is as good as family (and yes, cue the BARBARIAN of all people just running to drag someone out of a fight they're nowhere close to ready for and berating the idjit like a scared half to death father)
During my groups latest session I fought a Half dragon demi god whose the child of my Gods arch enemy, She started the whole encounter of with an " oh you're approaching me" and yes I did say " I can't beat the crap out of you without getting closer"
Killed me when he said half elf was a bad race for Monk. Half-Elves are good with literally any class, thanks to those 2 floating +1s. Even as a murderhobo, he's stupid lmao. Also, I'm really tired of the "Monks are useless" argument. Your Fighter or Barbarian isn't running across water or up walls doing somersaults, throwing back arrows, jumping off cliffs unscathed, rerolling death saving throws, becoming proficient in ever save, or making the dm's boss fear for their life as the Monk forces a save or die on them for the 10th time. Monks are fucking awesome in 5e. They are worth playing.
@@kinosaga21 I agree. Monks are in that funny place where they CAN be pretty simple to play and arguably are easier to play than Fighter in the lower levels. However, as you go further up, Monks become much more complicated to play than Fighters through their versatility of options built into the class (speaking strictly of base class).
@@evangrescol7772 thats one of the reasons why i love 5e, all classes start straight forward but with higher levels almost all become more complicates and be able to be built to fit anyones play style, thats without any multi-classing.
While rn I’m a rogue in my group, if we ever run a second campaign or if my character dies I’m planning on playing a monk next tbh. Rogue is hella fun and I’m glad I chose it for my first ever dnd campaign but that’s just it it’s my first one and I wanna explore more options with classes and races if given the chance. We did have a one off session with some spoof characters with wacky stats and I got to play a barbarian path of the depths tabaxi so I was a literal catfish lmao
I'm a new player but I've done research. 5e is the first time Monks are actually good, and not confused, right? I'm not exceptionally familiar with the old editions.
Ah, the difference between a "Role" player and a role-player. The "role" player is a player that sees or plays a role in a specific way. "A rogue is a thief", "A Monk punches things", or "A Paladin must be a Tank/face of the party". While a role-player considers their character's class/subclass, race, background, traits, and other players and their characters when playing a character in both role-play and combat.
"Why are you buying items for your companion? It's just an animal!" Larry sound like the kind of guy who could have used some pet love in his childhood.
You know, ultimately, Larry should've been told to leave the table and go elsewhere early on, with the explanation that while all he had were experience points and gold, which couldn't be spent in the real world, Mi, Tom, and Bri all had stories they could share and enjoy telling over and over again.
@@SamA-cw3be One more reason to not play Adventure League, but still, if there were multiple tables of the same tier, they could at least send him there.
@@jesternario this was my only bad experience at it. I’ve made many friends and been able to put together three groups from people i meant there. My soon to be roommate i met at AL. From my experience, Larry has been the outlier. I’m very glad for that.
@@SamA-cw3be and this is why everyone hates adventures league. Any decent store owner should have the authority to throw out an asshole whenever they see fit.
Finding clever solutions is what dnd is about, it's what makes it so enjoyable. Even if you play an evil, murdery character there's plenty of room to roleplay and make it more than "I kill them just because"
here is how to become a good character if you were previously a murder hobo in a campaign and you are in the same, A, become the BBEG, B, have an actual reason on why your character did those things
To quote Alfred here, “some men don’t want anything master Wayne. Some men just want to watch the world burn.” I hate to say this, but I’ve seen it happen. Knew a guy once, used to be a friend. Used to be. I was his first dm. Tried to teach him to play with the group, work together build back story. That it’s a collaborative game and the point is for *everyone* at the table to have fun. His idea of fun was kill the party. Every session. For two years. Every session was the same: he’d roll in. New character, meet the party, and then spend the rest of the session trying to stab people in the back or sell them out to their enemies or set off as many traps as possible. Inevitably, the party would turn on him and kill him. Next session he’d make a new character and try again. It wasn’t just one group of people he’d do this with: I dm at an adventure league and there were at the height of it 50+ people there as adventurers. By the end of the first half of the year every person there had a character he had gotten killed and had one of his characters killed. He’d then go on to message people who killed him threats about what he would do to them next week. Eventually, he found some players who he could bully around, and every game he would kill their characters off, then convince them to play with him in another group and promise he wouldn’t do that again when they got upset. That was a lie and the cycle would start all over again. I tried everything I could think of to change: I tried talking to him, offering rewards if he worked with the party, tried killing his characters off, tried making his characters ineffective at killing party members, tried dropping him in level every time he attempted to slit someone’s throat. Everything. Nothing worked. Eventually, people just stopped wanting to play with him. His actions started to go from just at the table to harassing them online. He got banded from the shop adventure league was played at, and eventually got permanently banned after making some really crappy anti-trans joke to a trans player in the league group chat, then bizarrely went on a rant to a colleague of mine that is Jewish about how his grandfather was a Nazi and how they should be allowed to do what they want. What’s bizarre about that wasn’t that he was anti-trans or pro-Nazi: he said all of that just to piss them off. If you haven’t figured it out yet, this person was mentally unwell. His whole enjoyment he got out of everything was in upsetting others. I tried everything I could to get him to see all that was going to do was get him isolated and alone, and that none of it was ok. He didn’t want to hear any of it, and now last I heard he doesn’t play at all anymore, he mostly just sits alone.
@@jordanwhite8718 while I’ve had to remove a person from the table once ( story for another time. You dm for 20 years you get a few horror stories) this guy... well, I saw the mental disorder, and I tried to help him. And all of my dealing with him were colored with “this person has an illness and cannot help himself.” So when he’d start acting up I tend to try offering mercy and I tried reaching out to help him. I’m a firm believer people can change and no one is inherently bad, but after that last two years I can’t help but realize there are people who won’t listen. In this guy’s head it was everyone else’s problem, not his. And while some of my players have aren’t perfect souls (lord knows I’m not) the rest of them work things out and are reasonable. In an odd way, ever since he got banished the other players have become much more open to talking things out out of game with each other. However, after this I do take a more assertive and proactive approach. I firmly bring up that if your idea of fun is at someone else’s expense here you need to leave and come back when you change your mind. I run games from time to time that is cutthroat in the way this guy wanted but I establish early on whether that is going to be allowed or not, and only if they sign a contract. Breaking contract means I don’t need to put up with you any more and also ensures everyone agrees to play the way intended or find another dm.
Not neccesarily but he might have played before witha group that prefers treating D&D as tactical game, not that those groups don't roleplay sometimes they roleplay better than some roleplayign groups i played with, but the main thing they expect and are ready for is how to get through whatever challenges DM throw at them, that of course isnt always combat sometimes its traps and sometimes its riddles or schemes, think less typical adventurer shit more Darkest Dungeon but with actual interaction between characters and npcs, but its is always on basis of what your character can do and what it cant do, to varying degrees of stricktness. People from such groups especially if they only played a few games before, as in didnt get to the good parts form perspective of roleplaying and only the parts of crunch numbers and use brain and contents of your character sheet to work the problem, will ususally be completely useless or bored, or as in case of Larry, disruptive, confused and angry if not handled right, which places this catastrophe of roleplaying seesion in the blame bin of the DM, not entirely mind u as he coudl have asked before hand what will be expected during the game, but still.
How come no one else has commented this for what it is? Its so perfectly aligned as well. Mii is Ty Lee in every way. Bree is the silent but dependable Mai whos boyfriend is going through some things. Tom is Zuko, who is trouble by a dark path, but comes around the further the story goes. And Larry is obviously Azula, whos a crazy murderhobo with power issues who loses it at the end. Lmao.
Also, I admire how your character Mii embodies the very spirit of DnD: bringing hope and joy to a harsh reality, giving people the strength to "smile in the rain".
When I was like 12, it was very common amongst my friends to play GTA and just enter some cheatcodes and go on a murdering spree instead of doing the story, where although not suited for a 12yo either, you at least get to contemplate moral choices on occasion. I very much get that kind of vibe from Larry. It's a shame he never learned what games have to offer and instead just stuck to using them to let off steam.

The more I hear this story the more simple minded Larry becomes. First I looked down at him in disgust but now I realize this person thought they where honestly cleaver so now I just pity him.
My first game I was tricked into attacking an NPC by the DM. None of the other players tried to stop me, even though they knew it was my first session ever. Glad it didn’t stop me from finding a better group. I’ve played a campaign for over a year on Roll20.
This comment iiiiiinstantly reminded me of MY first session. I'd seen my friends' PHBs and Monster Manuals and whatnot, but was nowhere NEAR as familiar with anything beyond the basics: I hadn't even HEARD of Drow prior to one appearing, as I recall, as our DMs party-joining NPC. Hence, I was disappointed and flustered when XP was withheld due to me NOT roleplaying my Dwarf as racist, suspicious, and/or contemptuous enough. 😕
Bloody hell Larry, nobody likes a wise-ass. Edit; The DM should've slapped Larry's hand a few times and overruled most of his actions. There is testing the boundaries and needing to put it him in the corner. Especially since it starts to affect the whole group.

He would have hated my drow assisin. Instead of being all dark and mystery with cloak and dagger, I was always in some disguise being the life of the party.

Reminds me of a story where our party's warlock managed to defuse a boss encounter and the boss herself, almost entirely solo. The party consists of a wizard, a ranger (me, I used the revised version), a barbarian and the warlock, Uder. The rest of the group aside from Uder provided support, but didn't really do much that needs elaboration. Uder was a Pact of the Chain warlock following a Celestial patron (think "biblical angel purges the unholy" type deal). He pretended to be a priest of Pelor, for obvious reasons. A bit of background: the party had been doing an important mission for the crown prince (king went nutty some time ago, so the title isn't transferred), and had been occasionally harassed by agents of the princess. The princess really disliked the prince, due to a heavy disagreement on a lot of policies; by "really disliked", I mean "attemped to assassinate him on a yearly basis". The party, working for the prince, naturally got a similar "disliking" treatment. Anyway, having finished up the quest, and being just about to deliver the sword we were retrieving back to the prince, Uder scouted ahead with his familiar as he usually does and discovered the princess alongside two or three ogres. The princess didn't know Uder, due to him being a new-ish member and not as active as the others, so he went in alone to distract her while the rest of the party circled around and went into the town proper. He managed to hit it off decently well, and more or less befriended her. The party wizard did some divination magic, and we combined that with our current knowledge of the situation to come to the *wildly* incorrect conclusion that we shouldn't give the sword off to the prince immediately, cause he might be evil. So, we had Uder help to set up a meeting with the princess, and explain our situation. After a talk with the princess we agreed to stop trying to murder each other, and that the prince probably wasn't evil so we should give the sword to him and work from there. We turned it in and leveled up shortly after (can't remember if it was from mission completion itself or an encounter a bit afterwards). We got a new mission to go to a new place, and as we traveled Uder started taking advantage of his new Dream spell. First, he entered into the princess' dream, and comboed Dream with Disguise Self to pose as Pelor, and convince the princess to agree to a discussion. He then went into the prince's dream and did the same, posing as the princess. It's worth noting at this point that Uder had left his familiar behind to make negotiations doable, and to function as a phone to keep the prince updated on mission status. With that in mind, Uder managed to handle the negotiation flawlessly (the rest of the party linked in with a telepathy spell to provide advice), managing to set up the prince and princess as handling separate parts of the political situation. The princess would manage an important military position from the front line, being the combat-minded sort, while the prince handles economy and logistics, being better with politics and the like. We found out later from the GM that she was just supposed to be a boss fight, but like most of the boss fights we dealt with in that campaign we managed to succeed entirely from left field. Uder's player left at a later date for scheduling reasons, and the in-character justification given was that he needed to do some religious work to atone for impersonating his god.
amen. if they were anyone like larry,i'd demand that either he goes or i do cause i'm not tolerating that shit and it's no loss if i end up having to be the one that leaves.
Op here. Honeslty, it all depends on the style of play that the group and story calls for. There are some groups that are murder heavy, and i dont think theres anything wrong with that. But when you start going out of your way to stop other people from having fun and play, thats an issue. Ymmv tho
Larry never learned that you get XP from *passing* (pass/fail) an encounter. You don’t have to kill the Dragon, you can sneak past it, gain it’s permission to pass, blow it away with tales of your legendary tales of legendary-ness that it swears fealty! “Imma stab it in the face” isn’t the only answer!
I legit teared up when Mii ran the gauntlet, you truly should make a cartoon or something about that. I wish I had such memorable experiences in my time playing DnD

Also murderhobos mostly suck the soul out of D&D. Thanks for taking care of the problem here.
Playing a Campaign where murderhoes are required/suggested/tolerated is better than having a murderhoboes in a Campaign where they are not welcome, obviously. XD
The absolute best advice I ever got from my DM way back when was: "Every one of you is a writer. Think of me as the executive producer. Let's create a story." I use this line for every RPG I have run since.
I would love to make a character similar to mii but as a orc monk and instead of a former circus performer he'd be a former war band leader that disobeyed a order he didn't feel was right
I think maybe what you want is a Jongleur. A medieval acrobat, juggler, performer and storyteller. I so rarely hear about what could be such a useful backstory.
No lie, made me think of D'Shai, which was written by Joel Rosenberg. Guardians of the Flame series. Rather than monk, that circus performer has to prove innocence and it's excellent
Heard this on RPGTales and loved it. I was hoping you would be doing your own version because this is an awesome story. Though I have to agree wit the comments about Ty Lee
all things dnd did amazing artwork for this. like, I didn't talk to them on how Mii looked, but somehow the knew she wore bells! i as blown away by that
I saw the title and knew I had to hear this. Makes me so happy their is other people like who build PC not for combat but for Roleplay as in talking our entertaining people.
It took me way too long to realise the Ty Lee picture is not there just for fun, and even longer that it is connected to the character, and now I feel stupid. Thanks
I love the idea of an acrobat monk, its definitely something different from what is becoming more common. Now yes I would go rouge if I wanted damage, from past experience Monk's do not have a good track record for survival, but tbh I'd make a Paladin or Cleric all for keeping this Monk alive, nah, dont need to get the kill everytime so long as the 'party' that your a team member of makes it.
Op here. I dont’ know. I think monk is pretty survivable. Amazing saves, the ability to stand in front of an army and challenge them to hit you, self healing, immunity from poison and disease. Magical damage that scales with level, and can attack more than any other class, and all that is without a subclass. Really tho, I’m glad yo like that idea of acrobatic monk. Its a lot of fun to play :D
Describing Mii - this character sounds like an awesome build! Describing Larry - ahhh, one of those, bet they meet him sulking in a dark corner plotting to kill every... Oh yup, there it is
that character concept sounds AWESOME!!!!!! Everyone making a character to fit the mould is not bad, but making a character against the mould is one of the best things that one can make. Think before criticizing another player's character concept.
@@evangrescol7772 they are a cleric class. They gain their gifts from a higher power. There’s an interview with one of the writers from 5e in which he agrees with you. You can find it on RUclips. Here’s something fun, did you know that a warlock never loses their powers despite their actions?
@@SamA-cw3be I did. However, pissing off your patron could have different consequences instead. As a Warlock, you're not necessarily always inclined to do their bidding though. That's one of many things that makes Warlocks and Clerics different as well. Fun Fact: Monk and Warlock, followed by Rogue, are my favorite classes in D&D
This is the reason why i love having a performer/entertainer background or characteristic in my characters, there is something that can be used for roleplay as well as story and it feels natural for me the player
I love this story (ignoring Larry). It shows that creativity can pay off really well. There's also complexity in how the two players live with and get to know the enemy NPCs.
I always am kinda turned away by players who focus solely on the effectiveness of a character. Not saying I hate anyone who does it, it's just annoying when people can complain about how your character isn't effective when your not going for effectiveness.
There's different ways for a character to actually BE effective. Mii is an example of that. She was basically able to infiltrate an enemy base and make off with everything that the group needed to utterly annihilate the antagonists through nothing but espionage.
This is like the third time I've heard this story on various RPG horror story channels, but its such a masterstroke of roleplaying that I listen to it all the way through every time anyways. Also, "it's not real fantasy unless it has dragons" is still the cringiest thing I've ever heard in regards to TTRPG. Especially since it was in response to Journey to the West which absolutely has dragons! Ugh, what a moron.
D&D is a hobby, you can choose who to game with. You'll run into alot of nuts in the forest of gaming but you'll at least remember the people that gels well with you so you can invite them all at a later date to a private game.
You know, in our party everybody is a murder hobo except me and our healer. (she wants to be friends with fairies for some reason.) Our DM just trying to kill the murder hobos, but one of them is already a god. And the other one have a healing lance, witch is can heal any wound if you alive. Our druid is just simly a stupid bird. Somehow he's not the healer of our group. Once he tried to heal a lvl 13. sickness. (he is on lvl 3.) And he also tried to be friends with the zombies... But I love my party.
Yep, Larry is the typical edgelord, murderhobo rouge that only cares about himself, only playing Chaotic neutral because Adventurer's League doesn't allow evil alignments and therefor plays Chaotic neutral badly and complains about the rest of the party constantly. Advice to everyone out there, Chaotic neutral is Jack Sparrow. If it's plotting how to kill everyone and messing up others actions just because you can by definition that's not playing to the alignment of chaotic Neutral, that's CHAOTIC EVIL.
Bonus award to this DM for rewarding amazing roleplay with some great results. Religion, culture, antagonists that aren't heartless evil, actions felt useful from start to finish? Best kind of DM.

@@romansilverwolf6422 SAME. Elder Scrolls games are a million times better when you do!
I always give my characters bg story-based nerfs and limits - for instance, they can only learn one base-level fire or healing spell because of an aversion to magic and hate high elves because their family were murdered by them etc - and it gives SO much more to the game and helps combat some of the op/broken mechanics.
I once, for kicks, made a khajiit who was both allergic to and terrified of wolves and werewolves. Like- blindly throw a fireball and run the other way level terrified. It made sauntering through the woods (the closest I ever get to fast travel is using the horse carts if my destination is literally at the other side of the map, because immersion) way more interesting and complicated from the very first day. When you have to be constantly on the lookout for, then backtrack, hide and find an alternate route just because of the ubiquity of the first-available enemy, it adds so much more life, impact, immersion and personalization to the game.

"Dungeons and No Dragons" sounds very sad
@@DungeonMiser pathfinder is also a title for a fantasy rpg. Still doesn't mean an rpg has to have dragons
I can see his logic though. All mythologies have a form of great or evil serpent. Judo-Christianity had a serpent in the Garden of Eden, as well as the cockatrice (or rooster headed dragon), and the leviathan (fire-breathing water dragon).
Then again, not all fantastical myths in all countries involve a draconian either. Some have demons, trickster shapeshifters, fairies, spirits...
@@LocalMaple I don't remember cockatrices when I read the Bible. I distinctly remember the levitation and the dragon in Revelation, but I don't recall a cockatrice.

Narrator's character is basically Ty Lee from Avatar, who makes for a killer Acrobatic Monk.

Really my first thought was a bard raised in a monastery. Someone who rebelle against the rigid way of life, but thought going the other way could be more interesting.
Well, the art is drawn like Ty Lee. And is very much describes her character. What I don't understand is how Larry was so adamant about how "useless" Mii was.

@@JohnDolehi Believable.
This is not an unreasonable thing to say. For a very long time the monk class was not viable. Under 5e it is viable, but not every subclass. The issue stubbornly persists. And its not a simple issue either as one subclass (long death) is much more powerful at low levels. Some subclasses (not just of monk) are situational. For example, a gloomstalker ranger is a wise choice...for the Underdark. It is a terrible choice for the desserts of calishem. Beastmaster, original rules...HORRIBLE. Under new rules, pretty good.
Minmax is an ignorant term. The correct term is viable vs not viable. Wizard with a maxed out intelligence score...viable. Wizard with the bare minimum of 13 to enable the class. Not viable. I mean what I say. You are just wasting everyones time if you can't actually cast anything and have a reasonable chance of the saving throw working.
This extends to play. A wizard, just as an example, who attacks a weakness is effective but the same wizard with the same spells who is too stupid to do this is ineffective. I once held a troll, for example (low wisdom score) nearly helpless with tashas laughter while my party demolished what it normally could not handle. If I did that on a NPC cleric...I am just wasting a spell slot.
Playing my cleric, often the most devastating spell I can cast is the humble Bless. Why. High AC. You understand? The monk class, often lacks synergy. It's a weak fighter variant.

@@evangrescol7772 Half-elves are indeed good at anything you want! I'd also go so far as to argue that there are no bad race/class combinations anymore. Nobody gets penalties anymore, and an unconventional choice will often still provide really nice helpful bonuses.

“Bre and Mii didnt do anything!” Oh good lord had he not payed ‘any’ attention to how they basically coordinated, along with Tom, an expertly executed covert infiltration and rescue effort that also lead to the destruction of a very, very powerful enemy?

But it wasn't combat, so they didn't do anything. /s
If it's not killing enemies by rolling dice it's not D&D. Obviously.
How to handle a Larry: "Shut up, we'll call you when something needs to die."
"Shut up and go play Skyrim."
"You've done a bad. You're booted; you'll now look in horror as your behavior is posted on RUclips as an amusing 27 minute story."

Also, I'm really tired of the "Monks are useless" argument.
Your Fighter or Barbarian isn't running across water or up walls doing somersaults, throwing back arrows, jumping off cliffs unscathed, rerolling death saving throws, becoming proficient in ever save, or making the dm's boss fear for their life as the Monk forces a save or die on them for the 10th time.
Monks are fucking awesome in 5e. They are worth playing.
my observation: if any class is useless to you is because you don't know how to play them right.
i've never been proven wrong.
@@kinosaga21 I agree.
Monks are in that funny place where they CAN be pretty simple to play and arguably are easier to play than Fighter in the lower levels. However, as you go further up, Monks become much more complicated to play than Fighters through their versatility of options built into the class (speaking strictly of base class).
@@evangrescol7772 thats one of the reasons why i love 5e, all classes start straight forward but with higher levels almost all become more complicates and be able to be built to fit anyones play style, thats without any multi-classing.
While rn I’m a rogue in my group, if we ever run a second campaign or if my character dies I’m planning on playing a monk next tbh. Rogue is hella fun and I’m glad I chose it for my first ever dnd campaign but that’s just it it’s my first one and I wanna explore more options with classes and races if given the chance. We did have a one off session with some spoof characters with wacky stats and I got to play a barbarian path of the depths tabaxi so I was a literal catfish lmao
I'm a new player but I've done research. 5e is the first time Monks are actually good, and not confused, right? I'm not exceptionally familiar with the old editions.
Ah, the difference between a "Role" player and a role-player. The "role" player is a player that sees or plays a role in a specific way. "A rogue is a thief", "A Monk punches things", or "A Paladin must be a Tank/face of the party". While a role-player considers their character's class/subclass, race, background, traits, and other players and their characters when playing a character in both role-play and combat.

I hope he learned that. I like tot hunk that Larry matured as a person and player and is now welcome at someone else’s table, enriching thier story.
here is how to become a good character if you were previously a murder hobo in a campaign and you are in the same, A, become the BBEG, B, have an actual reason on why your character did those things
Larrys that bad don't appear in a vacuum, that guy must have had some terribly toxic DM's and coplayers in his formative sessions. Yikes.
To quote Alfred here, “some men don’t want anything master Wayne. Some men just want to watch the world burn.”
I hate to say this, but I’ve seen it happen. Knew a guy once, used to be a friend. Used to be. I was his first dm.
Tried to teach him to play with the group, work together build back story. That it’s a collaborative game and the point is for *everyone* at the table to have fun.
His idea of fun was kill the party. Every session.
For two years.
Every session was the same: he’d roll in. New character, meet the party, and then spend the rest of the session trying to stab people in the back or sell them out to their enemies or set off as many traps as possible. Inevitably, the party would turn on him and kill him. Next session he’d make a new character and try again.
It wasn’t just one group of people he’d do this with: I dm at an adventure league and there were at the height of it 50+ people there as adventurers. By the end of the first half of the year every person there had a character he had gotten killed and had one of his characters killed. He’d then go on to message people who killed him threats about what he would do to them next week.
Eventually, he found some players who he could bully around, and every game he would kill their characters off, then convince them to play with him in another group and promise he wouldn’t do that again when they got upset. That was a lie and the cycle would start all over again.
I tried everything I could think of to change: I tried talking to him, offering rewards if he worked with the party, tried killing his characters off, tried making his characters ineffective at killing party members, tried dropping him in level every time he attempted to slit someone’s throat. Everything.
Nothing worked.
Eventually, people just stopped wanting to play with him. His actions started to go from just at the table to harassing them online. He got banded from the shop adventure league was played at, and eventually got permanently banned after making some really crappy anti-trans joke to a trans player in the league group chat, then bizarrely went on a rant to a colleague of mine that is Jewish about how his grandfather was a Nazi and how they should be allowed to do what they want. What’s bizarre about that wasn’t that he was anti-trans or pro-Nazi: he said all of that just to piss them off.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, this person was mentally unwell. His whole enjoyment he got out of everything was in upsetting others. I tried everything I could to get him to see all that was going to do was get him isolated and alone, and that none of it was ok. He didn’t want to hear any of it, and now last I heard he doesn’t play at all anymore, he mostly just sits alone.
@@SOLIDDave001 Honestly this just reminds me of a Ron White quotes. You can’t fix stupid. How this guy never got a huge ass beating is beyond me.
@@jordanwhite8718 while I’ve had to remove a person from the table once ( story for another time. You dm for 20 years you get a few horror stories) this guy... well, I saw the mental disorder, and I tried to help him. And all of my dealing with him were colored with “this person has an illness and cannot help himself.” So when he’d start acting up I tend to try offering mercy and I tried reaching out to help him. I’m a firm believer people can change and no one is inherently bad, but after that last two years I can’t help but realize there are people who won’t listen. In this guy’s head it was everyone else’s problem, not his.
And while some of my players have aren’t perfect souls (lord knows I’m not) the rest of them work things out and are reasonable. In an odd way, ever since he got banished the other players have become much more open to talking things out out of game with each other.
However, after this I do take a more assertive and proactive approach. I firmly bring up that if your idea of fun is at someone else’s expense here you need to leave and come back when you change your mind. I run games from time to time that is cutthroat in the way this guy wanted but I establish early on whether that is going to be allowed or not, and only if they sign a contract. Breaking contract means I don’t need to put up with you any more and also ensures everyone agrees to play the way intended or find another dm.
Not neccesarily but he might have played before witha group that prefers treating D&D as tactical game, not that those groups don't roleplay sometimes they roleplay better than some roleplayign groups i played with, but the main thing they expect and are ready for is how to get through whatever challenges DM throw at them, that of course isnt always combat sometimes its traps and sometimes its riddles or schemes, think less typical adventurer shit more Darkest Dungeon but with actual interaction between characters and npcs, but its is always on basis of what your character can do and what it cant do, to varying degrees of stricktness.
People from such groups especially if they only played a few games before, as in didnt get to the good parts form perspective of roleplaying and only the parts of crunch numbers and use brain and contents of your character sheet to work the problem, will ususally be completely useless or bored, or as in case of Larry, disruptive, confused and angry if not handled right, which places this catastrophe of roleplaying seesion in the blame bin of the DM, not entirely mind u as he coudl have asked before hand what will be expected during the game, but still.
Pretty sure that’s called Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

Bloody hell Larry, nobody likes a wise-ass. Edit; The DM should've slapped Larry's hand a few times and overruled most of his actions.
There is testing the boundaries and needing to put it him in the corner. Especially since it starts to affect the whole group.
Bro there were monks in western society. They were part of the church. There was a D&D fan movie that literally had this arguement between the player and dm and it was amazing.
the gamers, dorkness rising? i think that was the movie you're talking about
@@SamA-cw3be That was it. I always forget the name but never forget how much you can quote from that movie.
@@Dropem7777 have you seen journey quest yet? Just as funny. Also, there’s an extended edition of hands if fate and the fourth games on RUclips! I may be fan lol
There WERE western monks, but they didn't practice martial arts.
@@R3GARnator That is true. They did not practice martial arts, but they still were monks.
hmm this character reminds me of someone 🤔 Aang? no. Katara? no no. Azula? no it can't be. OH I KNOW!
Iroh.
Everybody needs an Iroh
Lol🤣
Thought when I clicked read more, the answer was going to be momo lmao
Iroh is the DM, change my mind
I expected you to say Appa
I really like Mii. She was an amazing character.
Op here. She was a lot of fun to play too. Whats taken me by surprise is that a few people have asked me if they could use her as an npc lol.
@@SamA-cw3be
*raises hand tentatively* C-could I please use her as an NPC? Pretty please?
@@ericward8459 yeah, of course!
@@SamA-cw3be I loved hearing about her character. It's given me a bit more courage to not be so scared to make wacky characters. One of my all-time favorites (concept wise I haven't played a lot of games) was an Avatar of Death who (for reasons too convoluted to explain) was turned into a human. Another one is a pureblood orc bard (who I might multiclass as barbarian)
@@r.j.penfold thank you; you have no idea how much that means to me. I really like that orc bardbarian. It’s a great concept. I once played someone similar. A story teller who got tired of telling stories of great heroes and decided to make some stories herself. I hope you have as much fun, if not more, than I had playing her!
Thats Ty lee!
Eeyup.
I had a friend who didnt like the monk class, but boy did I prove to him that monk is a viable class
that sounds Ike a great story! You’ll have to share it sometime
Also, who wouldn't want to play Goku or Jackie Chan?

No just the last airbender
This is a great story. Keeping a murderhobo from being... a murderhobo and the overall experience was nice.
Larry: "It's not real fantasy unless it has dragons."
Me: "And eastern cultures didn't have dragons of their own?"
I get the argument, but they’re not exactly similar. We call them dragons because that’s our closest analogue, not because they’re anything like each other.
@@protatype7487 but we identify them as dragons.. a lot of our culture has got something with dragons in it. Literally, one of the animal zodiacs of the chinese is the dragon and it is always considered to be something positive
@@dyanaforest7174
Precisely what I mean, my friend. Western dragons are a negative in almost every fiction, whereas eastern dragons are often positive. Wise old creatures of the world, or symbols of good fortune, as opposed to our dominators, devastators and demolishers.
@@protatype7487 Doesn't really matter cause it's a stupid statement Larry The Idiot made anyway. Barndon Sanderson is one of the most popular fantasy novelists of our time and almost none of his stories have dragons in them. I see your point that eastern dragons and western dragons have very little in common and you're right but it's not a distinction that really needs to be made in this instance since the whole quote is extra strength dumb.
This story has been getting a lot of traction.
Are we seeing a birth of a legend?
I would like to hear the other side to it
@@docop8926 like, larry's side?
Its cause they go to a lot of community discords and asks people to read it
It’s a good story
YIRBEL LIVES! 7:04 PFFT! Honestly that sounds like a half baked scheme by the joker to get batman to kill. The narrators explanation of their character was a touch long but definitely impactful. So far Larry rubs me wrong in more ways than one hopefully he gets his act together by the end of the story.
Edit: HELL YEAH MII (and brii) SAVED TOM FROM THE HOBO SIDE! SUCK IT LARRY!!
I like to think I helped a little ;)
You merged Bri and Mii together haha. They're 2 diff people.

@@SamA-cw3be thanks a bunch!!
Y'know what, Mii's player sounds like they did a damn good job as a pc, and they legitimately sound like a wonderful person to have at the table
Listening to this made me realize Larry would have hated my Bard/Lion Performer or the Acrobat/Sorcerer also in the same ex-circus performers party.
Probably, but we totally could have come from the same circus if we played together! Bard, sorc, monk would have been a great trio!
My Dhampir warlock [hexblade] who was an ex-circus performer before being taken under the wing of a mob boss would have been all about it[made her bubbly AF]! It's a shame some people seem hellbent on avoiding the Roleplay element in a table top Role Playing Game in favor of min/max-y power gamey BS. :-/ Nothing against people who wannabe optimal but Jesus tap dancing Christ does it drive me crazy when they shit on how other people play in a game made for fun, creativity and escapism, there's plenty of video games out there that can scratch the e-peen/hypercompetitive itch. >_
He would have hated my drow assisin. Instead of being all dark and mystery with cloak and dagger, I was always in some disguise being the life of the party. Also when I was thinking about how to kill some one I talked with the DM about it, with various knowledge checks to see if my plan was plausible.
Bucket.
@@Orsonfoe that’s a good way to do it. I always tell my players “your characters grew up and live in that world, we don’t. They know customs, laws, holidays, mores and values that we don’t. Feel free to do wis or intel checks to get what they know about something.”
DnD stories be like "I heard that one !.. I WANT TO HEAR YOUR TAKE AND VOICE ACTING PLE E EASE"
Yeah. Thats pretty true. But All Things comes with illustrations too!
@@SamA-cw3be Yess~ Pretty moving illustrations~
"I will never use my swords to kill"
*Sanji theme intensifies*
But lowkey, this is actually one of the coolest character concepts I have ever seen.
Thanks. I’m glad you liked her. Mii was a lot of fun to play, sanji music?
@@SamA-cw3be Sanji from the anime One Piece. A pretty basic summary is that he is a chef, and only uses his feet to fight, as his hands are only for cooking.
@@connorhamilton5707 oh. Thank you
Yeah, glad to know that I'm not the only one who saw that OP character was pretty much Ty Lee when I first heard this story.
That moment when you listen to All Things DnD all the time and it’s your favorite thing to watch when you’re high but somehow you realize you’re not even subscribed
Watching anything DND related when you’re high is the best 😆😆😆
I'm more likely to be subscribed to a channel and forget about it later. Then when I go to subscribe I'm all ready subscribed and like O_O when?

Step 1: Stop getting high.
This is legitimately one of the best stories I've seen so far. Taking "leading by example" to the next level.
Op here. Thank you so much. Your words mean a lot to me
@@SamA-cw3be You're welcome ^^
A splendid tale of how to be your character. I hope to someday be a part of a campaign like this.
Op here. I’m sure you will. And i can’t wait to hear about it!
Reminds me of a story where our party's warlock managed to defuse a boss encounter and the boss herself, almost entirely solo.
The party consists of a wizard, a ranger (me, I used the revised version), a barbarian and the warlock, Uder.
The rest of the group aside from Uder provided support, but didn't really do much that needs elaboration. Uder was a Pact of the Chain warlock following a Celestial patron (think "biblical angel purges the unholy" type deal). He pretended to be a priest of Pelor, for obvious reasons.
A bit of background: the party had been doing an important mission for the crown prince (king went nutty some time ago, so the title isn't transferred), and had been occasionally harassed by agents of the princess. The princess really disliked the prince, due to a heavy disagreement on a lot of policies; by "really disliked", I mean "attemped to assassinate him on a yearly basis". The party, working for the prince, naturally got a similar "disliking" treatment.
Anyway, having finished up the quest, and being just about to deliver the sword we were retrieving back to the prince, Uder scouted ahead with his familiar as he usually does and discovered the princess alongside two or three ogres. The princess didn't know Uder, due to him being a new-ish member and not as active as the others, so he went in alone to distract her while the rest of the party circled around and went into the town proper. He managed to hit it off decently well, and more or less befriended her.
The party wizard did some divination magic, and we combined that with our current knowledge of the situation to come to the *wildly* incorrect conclusion that we shouldn't give the sword off to the prince immediately, cause he might be evil. So, we had Uder help to set up a meeting with the princess, and explain our situation. After a talk with the princess we agreed to stop trying to murder each other, and that the prince probably wasn't evil so we should give the sword to him and work from there. We turned it in and leveled up shortly after (can't remember if it was from mission completion itself or an encounter a bit afterwards).
We got a new mission to go to a new place, and as we traveled Uder started taking advantage of his new Dream spell. First, he entered into the princess' dream, and comboed Dream with Disguise Self to pose as Pelor, and convince the princess to agree to a discussion. He then went into the prince's dream and did the same, posing as the princess. It's worth noting at this point that Uder had left his familiar behind to make negotiations doable, and to function as a phone to keep the prince updated on mission status.
With that in mind, Uder managed to handle the negotiation flawlessly (the rest of the party linked in with a telepathy spell to provide advice), managing to set up the prince and princess as handling separate parts of the political situation. The princess would manage an important military position from the front line, being the combat-minded sort, while the prince handles economy and logistics, being better with politics and the like.
We found out later from the GM that she was just supposed to be a boss fight, but like most of the boss fights we dealt with in that campaign we managed to succeed entirely from left field. Uder's player left at a later date for scheduling reasons, and the in-character justification given was that he needed to do some religious work to atone for impersonating his god.
I have yet to play a proper session of D&D, but I don't think I could tolerate a murderhobo if I met one.
Same. I refuse fo play in a group that tolerates murderhobos
Yeah. My best friend is starting out, and I’m going to try to make him more of a roleplayer
amen. if they were anyone like larry,i'd demand that either he goes or i do cause i'm not tolerating that shit and it's no loss if i end up having to be the one that leaves.
Op here. Honeslty, it all depends on the style of play that the group and story calls for. There are some groups that are murder heavy, and i dont think theres anything wrong with that. But when you start going out of your way to stop other people from having fun and play, thats an issue. Ymmv tho
@@The_Biscuit_From_Heaven i hope so. I really just hope they and you have many years of fun ahead of you together :3

@@dyanaforest7174 no problem you just need some context on the mechanics and then make a character
@@magnusthered4946 when are we starting?
Larry never learned that you get XP from *passing* (pass/fail) an encounter. You don’t have to kill the Dragon, you can sneak past it, gain it’s permission to pass, blow it away with tales of your legendary tales of legendary-ness that it swears fealty!
“Imma stab it in the face” isn’t the only answer!
Ikr! There’s always fireball! Works especially good with red dragons!
So what i'm getting is Larry would have hated literally all of my PCs.
I legit teared up when Mii ran the gauntlet, you truly should make a cartoon or something about that. I wish I had such memorable experiences in my time playing DnD
thank you. it was an emotional moment for me too. I'm sure you will have many experiences too. just give it times. ive been playing for 20 years. I'm working on another of my experiences on reddit when I tricked a lich into destroying his own phlyctery. so far I have part 1 and 2 up.
@@SamA-cw3be I wish I could but I no longer have any rulebooks to run anything anymore nor cash to buy them.

Bravo , love it when rp is actual roleplaying instead of rollplaying
Op here. Thank you. I have to agree!
The OP defeinitely knew and wanted to play as "Ty Lee" from "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and I admire that. :D
Larry is an evil creature for trying to take the fun out of free creativity and for treating D&D like a game, not another world.
Also murderhobos mostly suck the soul out of D&D. Thanks for taking care of the problem here.
Tbh once in a while me and my friends playing evil murder hobo oneshots, it can be quite fun if you in the right mood and at appropriate time.
Playing a Campaign where murderhoes are required/suggested/tolerated is better than having a murderhoboes in a Campaign where they are not welcome, obviously. XD
The absolute best advice I ever got from my DM way back when was: "Every one of you is a writer. Think of me as the executive producer. Let's create a story." I use this line for every RPG I have run since.
I would love to make a character similar to mii but as a orc monk and instead of a former circus performer he'd be a former war band leader that disobeyed a order he didn't feel was right
He sounds like a fun character! I hope someday to hear his tales!
"I would love to make a character similar to Mii but with a completely different race and backstory"
@@ravenfrancis1476 i was talking about personality wise a very optimistic and positive person that's what i mean by similar
The Monk is literally just D&D Ty Lee from ATLA, that's neat.
Larry crawling back into his Cheeto-scented cave: "Drat! I’ve been foiled by the power of love!"
I think maybe what you want is a Jongleur. A medieval acrobat, juggler, performer and storyteller. I so rarely hear about what could be such a useful backstory.
Thank you. If i ever play Mii again I’ll have to remember that
No lie, made me think of D'Shai, which was written by Joel Rosenberg. Guardians of the Flame series. Rather than monk, that circus performer has to prove innocence and it's excellent
Heard this on RPGTales and loved it. I was hoping you would be doing your own version because this is an awesome story. Though I have to agree wit the comments about Ty Lee
It took me just over 6 minutes to realize that the shadow guy in the background was blinking
all things dnd did amazing artwork for this. like, I didn't talk to them on how Mii looked, but somehow the knew she wore bells! i as blown away by that
I saw the title and knew I had to hear this.
Makes me so happy their is other people like who build PC not for combat but for Roleplay as in talking our entertaining people.
thank you! Mii was a lot of fun to play. I"m glad you enjoyed. it was a longer story so thank you for listening too.
I think this my new favorite DnD story.
Op here. Thank you. That means a lot to me.
@@SamA-cw3be you're welcome. It is really a nice story, heartwarming to see a non-violent approach besting a violent one.
I think a monk that was a circus performer is an interesting character concept
It took me way too long to realise the Ty Lee picture is not there just for fun, and even longer that it is connected to the character, and now I feel stupid. Thanks
This has to be one of the best its got itresting plot and plot twists and it hollsome every thing you could ask for in a dnd campaign/story
Thank you so much. .that means. Lot to me. It was also a fun campaign to play in.
@@SamA-cw3be The story within the game was also good.
“If you know your enemy, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles” -sun tzu, the art of war.
Mii truly is a master of battle
I’ll totally take it. Thanks!
I love the idea of an acrobat monk, its definitely something different from what is becoming more common.
Now yes I would go rouge if I wanted damage, from past experience Monk's do not have a good track record for survival, but tbh I'd make a Paladin or Cleric all for keeping this Monk alive, nah, dont need to get the kill everytime so long as the 'party' that your a team member of makes it.
Op here. I dont’ know. I think monk is pretty survivable. Amazing saves, the ability to stand in front of an army and challenge them to hit you, self healing, immunity from poison and disease. Magical damage that scales with level, and can attack more than any other class, and all that is without a subclass.
Really tho, I’m glad yo like that idea of acrobatic monk. Its a lot of fun to play :D
Describing Mii - this character sounds like an awesome build!
Describing Larry - ahhh, one of those, bet they meet him sulking in a dark corner plotting to kill every... Oh yup, there it is
that character concept sounds AWESOME!!!!!! Everyone making a character to fit the mould is not bad, but making a character against the mould is one of the best things that one can make. Think before criticizing another player's character concept.
Op here, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed.
Oh yeah. Like most people with an outsider perspective see Warlocks as cultists, but I see them like clerics, except they're stanning non-gods lol.
@@evangrescol7772 they are a cleric class. They gain their gifts from a higher power. There’s an interview with one of the writers from 5e in which he agrees with you. You can find it on RUclips. Here’s something fun, did you know that a warlock never loses their powers despite their actions?
@@SamA-cw3be I did. However, pissing off your patron could have different consequences instead. As a Warlock, you're not necessarily always inclined to do their bidding though. That's one of many things that makes Warlocks and Clerics different as well.
Fun Fact: Monk and Warlock, followed by Rogue, are my favorite classes in D&D
@@evangrescol7772 warlock is a lot of fun to play. I’m glad they became a core class
This sounds like the modern era version of what stories meant back then, including the morale at the end.
Truly magnificent
wow. thank you. that means a lot to hear. I'm glad you enjoyed. i know it was a longer story
Remember, don't be like Larry.
Op here. Thats good life advice right there.
This is the reason why i love having a performer/entertainer background or characteristic in my characters, there is something that can be used for roleplay as well as story and it feels natural for me the player
I love this story (ignoring Larry). It shows that creativity can pay off really well. There's also complexity in how the two players live with and get to know the enemy NPCs.
I always am kinda turned away by players who focus solely on the effectiveness of a character. Not saying I hate anyone who does it, it's just annoying when people can complain about how your character isn't effective when your not going for effectiveness.
There's different ways for a character to actually BE effective. Mii is an example of that. She was basically able to infiltrate an enemy base and make off with everything that the group needed to utterly annihilate the antagonists through nothing but espionage.
This is like the third time I've heard this story on various RPG horror story channels, but its such a masterstroke of roleplaying that I listen to it all the way through every time anyways. Also, "it's not real fantasy unless it has dragons" is still the cringiest thing I've ever heard in regards to TTRPG. Especially since it was in response to Journey to the West which absolutely has dragons! Ugh, what a moron.
larry deserves a punch in the nards just for that dragon crack.

You know, in our party everybody is a murder hobo except me and our healer. (she wants to be friends with fairies for some reason.) Our DM just trying to kill the murder hobos, but one of them is already a god. And the other one have a healing lance, witch is can heal any wound if you alive.
Our druid is just simly a stupid bird. Somehow he's not the healer of our group. Once he tried to heal a lvl 13. sickness. (he is on lvl 3.) And he also tried to be friends with the zombies... But I love my party.
YES. That's how to play Dungeons and Dragons.
Op here. Thank you! It was a lot of fun to play. I hope to hear about your adventures too!
I imagine the dm letting larry's character getting paralyzed from fighting in the pits too many times. Would since all he did was be a paperweight.
I suppose pvp isn't allowed in league play? I was kind of expecting op to say "You think I'm weak? let's spar."
Especially because he's a wizard. They're notoriously squishy.
Yep, Larry is the typical edgelord, murderhobo rouge that only cares about himself, only playing Chaotic neutral because Adventurer's League doesn't allow evil alignments and therefor plays Chaotic neutral badly and complains about the rest of the party constantly. Advice to everyone out there, Chaotic neutral is Jack Sparrow. If it's plotting how to kill everyone and messing up others actions just because you can by definition that's not playing to the alignment of chaotic Neutral, that's CHAOTIC EVIL.
Was actually wondering about how to play neutral, but what do you mean by Jack sparrow?
@@bearbones7913 Look up Chaotic Neutral on TV Tropes and read through the examples. Jack Sparrow is one example.
There's also Linda Inverse from Slayers.
@@MrGamernova Also true.
Han Solo is another good example of Chaotic Neutral, with a turn toward Chaotic Good toward the end.
Bonus award to this DM for rewarding amazing roleplay with some great results. Religion, culture, antagonists that aren't heartless evil, actions felt useful from start to finish? Best kind of DM.
I love how the character is basically Ty Lee - fun character - and how thats the illustration too
