I'm gonna be honest here. I wanna see Pete do a full 3 hour adventure like this.
Best idea ever!!! That would be so cool.
Yes please
And maybe even animate that shit
He might actually make it out of the tavern given 3 hrs lol
yesssssss
As an avid tabletop gamer, Pete is totally doing it right, lol.
You never approach visibly unstable wizards working magic in public! xD
Duh...everyone knows you approach them in private, in the loo.
In the last game I played, my character was the unstable wizard. He was an alcoholic that thought fireball was the answer to every problem, and was traveling the world in search of the perfect drink.
Creepy old wizards are generally harmless. Assuming you can endure the smell.
But hot babes in D&D adventures always turn out to be monsters, traps, or DM pets.
@@reignkastle9877just make sure to roll >10 to unlock wizard anus

"Ooo tavern wench!
"She's in her 40's"
"How's her body"
... rolls...
"It's good."
Killed me.
My favourite part was Pete's "nice".
Must of rolled a d10
@@jasonaxiak6316 "must have." "must of" makes no sense.
Pete is actually doing this right. The DM sucks.
AndroidDoctorr agreed. Although Pete is being difficult any DM worth his salt knows how to lead the players where they need to go without dragging them there.
+AndroidDoctorr Meh. I mean, yes and no. PEte should be allowed to do what he wants, just so long as it doesn't upset the other players. If 2/3 want to quest and 1/3 wants to fuck with the DM, he should suck it up and play along.
That said, DM was just shitty in general. "There's only one guy in this room, and if you don't want to talk to him I'm gonna get pissy."
@@booey316 You have clearly never dealt with a difficult player if you think Pete's being difficult here. He's the best player in the group.
@AndroidDoctorr
I wholeheartedly agree. Pete was just being funny.
The only reason I would've sided with the 2 boring guys is if time was a HUGE factor. Otherwise, I would've (...and have) joined someone like Pete in his shenanigans. That was a chance to get the whole group to actually roleplay their characters, in a social and comedic fashion, instead of simply being Murder Hobos.
Wtf are you guys talking about
"How's her body?"
*rolls die*
ok that was hilarious
+Ross Sharma That's D&D lol
+El Diablo One of my players
Player: "Wait... The cleric is a she?
Me: Must you...
Player: Yep.
DM: *Rolls* She has D-Cups....
Player: Kay, we can continue.
+Mega Mawile Lmao. You are an enabler!
Ross Sharma Heh, its rule Zero "If the DM or Players aren't having fun, you are doing it wrong".
But its harmless, its mostly a running joke and the players long forget the roll. They mostly do it for my reaction XD
+Ross Sharma should have asked him to roll a perception check xD
The more you play D&D, the more you know that interactions like Pete is having here are the greatest parts of the game.
"You rolled. . .ok, so you successfully...soaked in the vibe."
I loved that part
I had a session before in which the players were so fascinated with the detail on food in taverns we wound up going into the kitchen instead and they had an in-character discussion while I did some DM narration of NPCs and made dinner so they could experience the in-character food. There was no real adventuring had that night but everyone had a good time regardless.
+Drak Dragon your party gained +2 cooking skills, +3 culinary knowledge, + 5 happiness and +7 resistance against food poisening
And that's all that matters is that your players had fun.
In-Character bonding; one of the truest adventures
You seem like a great DM!
@@lking1540 but what about your fun, mpther Teressa?? I wanted to kill everyone in that party, ok? Becouse THEY SUCK!
I don't see why it was a big deal that he wanted to sit across the room, place his order, and see how things progress. Why did the DM have to railroad it? TERRIBLE!!!!!!!
I thought this instantly. Awful GM
Is of done the same thing old foot could be making an explosive.
Coot not foot.
I keep seeing this as the most common comment on the video. It’s a hard thing to judge, since every person wants something different out of the campaign. Clearly the rest of the group wasn’t there for the little details and roleplaying aspect of it. So for that, they should have discussed the ‘vibe’ of the whole game. Sure, Pete wasn’t doing anything wrong, but since he wanted something different than everyone else, it disrupted the whole game. Also it’s a sketch.
@@halusinjackbow8043 I don't think it's hard to judge when the DM talks up the free will aspect and then craters in its face. I mean I get it's a sketch, but it ain't exactly unrealistic :P
"The tavern wench comes over"
"Oh tavern wench"
"She's 40"
"How's her body"
*dice rolls*
"Good"
"Nice"
The pinnacle of comedy 😂😂😂😂😂
Pete is doing good RP. I don't get the DM's frustration.
+Marios Athalakis was thinking the same
That's how you find out whether the guy is a good DM or not. You troll him and see how he reacts.
This video reminds me of what I did when I first tryed D&D. My DM was smart.
Most DM's can't. They want to tell a story (like children) rather than be god. Its kind of embarrassing.
Some DM's don't get good jokes. Sometimes they also don't enjoy role-playing different things than what they planned.
Pete's behavior was very similar to my first DnD game lol... Except my DM actually just let me do whatever I wanted. I ended up pursuing some hot chick from the inn and he wove her into the storyline. Pretty straight forward and everyone had fun
Same I might of caused the big twist to be revealed because I was lazy and didn’t want to deal with it (shit I’m late)
So funny that Pete is actually playing it right, and the DM has no clue how to actually DM.
2:29 Shouldn't there be a dice roll for trying to cut mutton with a sword? That's why we have knives and cutlery, it's not what swords are designed for. Especially if it's double edged, as you could only hold it from the hilt and sort of stab at it with the end. Lot of leverage, very unwieldy.
That's some pretty dangerous shit right there, could easily end up losing a finger or slipping and stabbing someone sat opposite you, or just flinging the big chunk of mutton off the plate onto the dirty floor.
That what kinds of makes funnier
Pete might be RPing a really boring character but the DM is failing hard by being incapable of adapting outside of just repeatedly trying to railroad him into making the decision he wants by blunt force.
Like others said, a good DM would've found a way to subtly pull him into engaging while still acting in-character by changing the quest start to an event he would've reacted to
Especially considering that this was Pete's first D&D game, the DM was trying to send the party off to fight an Ogre that easily killed off the presumably more experienced party members with ease.
I don't blame Pete for wanting to "soak in the vibe" rather than accept a quest from a pushy NPC that could (and did for his party) very easily get his character killed off within the first few moments of the game therefore just having to start all over again, I assume that the DM would employ the same pushy NPC and quest again also if this happened.
@@cryptidproductions3160 A good DM has a session 0 to discuss group expectations. If the group decided they didn't want sexual talk during gameplay and wanted to focus on adventuring, he was fine as a DM. If not, then taking Pete aside and having a discussion would have been the proper thing to do as the others were clearly not enjoying the way he was dominating the pace of the game.
@@alkaholic4848no. It's one of the first things that you learn as a DM. If something shoul be a guaranteed success don't make the player roll.
In my first campaign, one of my players tried to cut the head off a dead bugbear to take it as evidence that they had killed the bugbear. I made the fighter making attack roll. He then proceeded to miss four times and he and I both looked stupid.
This fucking Railroading DM
Railroadin son of a bitch. We had a a DM like this once... Had.
Now we just force him to play as an half-orc cleric. Justice.
I know I'm insanely late on this, but how badass would a DnD BnB be? Want that.
My friend is a really good DM and has a house near the Renaissance Faire, I tried to convince him to make a destination DnD AirBnB. Deck his house out in D&D stuff and make up custom campaigns that run however many days a group stays. During the day the people go to the Ren Faire, at night he'd have smoked meats and various local wines and beer for them, then they play DnD. Unfortunately he got a really good corporate job and moved but I almost had him convinced lol.
look.! With a roaring fire in the common room and rentable games, a lot of strangers down to play. I'd dig that.
Goddamn covid makes this impossible right now. Fucking lockdown shit.
Saw a video about a 3 day DnD event in a castle. Including an event which had you moving around the forest and the grounds role playing as the story moved into those locations.
And I’m excited for the new studio set for Viva La Dirt league DnD.
It's incredible how reasonable a player Pete is, smarter than the other two actually
Well yeah, creepy old men and their quests get stupid adventurers killed. That's the world we live in.
...well, minus trolls, magic orbs and attractive wenches. Those things don't exist.
Stupid DM and players are what get parties killed, Pete knew the meaning of patience and sleeping so he doesn't get fatigued, that gets you a -2 on certain rolls
That’s why you tie in player motivation and back story into the hook.
As a DM I can confidently say that this isn't a very good DM. There were tons of ways to make a lot of fun and interesting things happen out of this. Instead of making them go to the Ogre how about making the Ogre come to them and attack while Pete is trying to eat his mutton. If that Ogre messes with his mutton he is more apt to protect it and fight back. Fully support Pete vs. the un-fun noncooperative DM
Stop being a nerd. Not funny.
Hey, I like cheese too.
Stop responding to the troll. Not funny.
eh, cptawesome had a good point & is absolutely correct, so I don't want to take any of that away from him, but this video was meant to be a humorous look at D&D, so the GM's script may be a bit problematic, but it works with Pete's script & the pacing of the video. GM's not in a comedy sketch should always send an ogre on over.
& cheese is delicious.
"How's her body?" Rolls
"It's good." 🤣🤣🤣
Now that's what I call fudging a roll.
Russell Flowers I hate you
I almost scrolled past... then I saw what you did there.
Watching these guys' reactions makes me suddenly realize why I was kicked out of my D&D group
I ended up making sweet passionate love to my buddies character on my first ever night of playing. Somehow ended up getting something like six 20s in a row. God was his character one hot babe
What did you do 😁
@@HappyDude1 can't remember... I don't even remember this video from 4 years ago, sorry
"Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards."
Pete is the only one that heeded this warning. =)
There's seriously nothing wrong with how he's playing. This DM is doing a terrible job. He is railroading terribly.
uhhh, it's a sketch?
@@johnpliskin8759 Yeah but it's a sketch that's supposed to make pete seem like he doesn't know how to play. And that's not the case.
So it's badly written.
@@THEPELADOMASTER For 99.9% of the audience it's written brilliantly.
@@xandr13 >99.9%
weird, cause all of the top comments say that Pete isn't in the wrong, the DM is, and the whole point of the sketch is to underlie that Pete is in the wrong for not playing correctly. weird how a "brilliantly written" sketch turns out wrong
@@anon-ud9mq Yeah and I think that illustrates that some people take the game too seriously or just wanted to show off their knowledge which is fair enough. A sketch doesn't need to be remotely realistic to be hilarious
This would be a pretty cool premise for a tv show, have 3 comedian's play the game, then have actors re-enact the game drunk history style.
"there is no chicken parm, of course there wouldn't be, because it's a dark age economy, and why... would that even ... fucking be in this?" lol
+Levi Paulsen eggplant parm
+Levi Paulsen Honestly, I don't see why they wouldn't have eggplant parm in a dark age economy. They could had some pretty lavish dishes even then. And they had eggplants and cheese didn't they? Yet another indicator of a bad DM...
+Willem Maas True, it was probably just be called something else though, like Plant of Eggs Wovendish... or some shit like that.
Levi Paulsen Hehe, yeah
shut up you fat bitches
This show is so underrated, it's a shame it got canceled. Pete has some really hilarious stuff.
"That mutton was dry. Let's see if there's anything moist." omg im fucking dying
Dude Pete doesn't even know it but this is exactly how you test out Dungeon Masters to see how good they are just completely go off quest do whatever you want to go to the hotel go talk to the homeless people behind the tavern go hang out in the mayor's office and get a look at City politics just anything you can think of that's not the main quest to test your DM that was fuckin awesome
So you test your DM by being uncooperative and disruptive thereby ruining fun for the other players? Any DM worth his salt has dealt with this scenario multiple times. I would personally indulge your test, weaving an adventure from your idle actions and conversations then never invite you back. Great test.
If teh Dm is capable then disruptive it not be
Open world means Open world not u has to talks to meh wizard
lordeggo Letting the person indulge in it then giving them some sort of STD or making the in this example the wench a Succubus and giving them crazy necrotic damage turning them into a withered husk has stopped most people fucking around in my games or to at least think twice on trying it.
Ya. Pete is actually playing like you're supposed to. Maybe a little... much, but I was unhappy with how the 'DM' handle it in the script.
When the DM has to engage players separately it slows the game down, regardless of how skilled he is. It happens yes, but that's part of the term "Don't split the Party". You not only have a greater chance of death but it hinders everyone's enjoyment. People who would do this on purpose are putting aside that the G in RPG means Game. The DM in the script was supposed to be linear and boring, Pete wouldn't have been able to cause so much trouble and it wouldn't have been funny in the hands of a skilled DM as all of his idle actions would have sucked him into an adventure anyways.
Why is he sending them newbies against an ogre in the first quest, they should be fighting undead bunnies or something
+harry vrentas One of my first campaigns was to venture through mountains, defeat random harpoon spiders then storm a cave full of wizards.
+harry vrentas Don't frak with bunnies man. They slaughter any army in seconds. You need level 6 Holy Grenade.
1...2...5!3!
I once fucked my friends as DM. Within 10 minutes they were fighting vampires! I had never had more joy watching them struggle.
My friend were fighting gods at level 3... they were very weak gods
People talking about railroading, but improvising everything on the spot is tough. PC's don't need to stick to the script, but forcefully avoiding every approach towards playing the pre planned and organised / prepared adventure is just a dick move.
I have a friend that doesn't prepare anything at all. He's that good at improving where he just lets the players do anything they want, no matter how absurd, and he describes what happens. I don't bother trying to plan a specific adventure anymore, because I know the people I play with will go off on their own. Instead, I have a location, such as a city, and just pepper it with things that players can encounter.
Bad DM. Don't pigeonhole the players, DnD isn't a videogame.
DnD??
Dungeons!!!! not dragons
sexual_mustard Or neither.
yeah fixed story doesn't work with role players, it's ok with dice rollers though.
I prefer building a map populating it and roleplaying with the players just as the world. Most of my quests are a 1 paragraph prologue and the rest is all back and forth. I did have one idiot player who was a rogue obsessed with a drawer and after 5 turns of "I close and open the drawer, is there anything inside?" I had a tentacle pull him an close the drawer for the rest of the session.
sandboxes are not pigeonholed video games. dont paint the whole wall with one brush... or something.
TheEschwank02 ...? Your comment makes no sense.
Pete thinks he is fucking around, but most players act the way that he did.
I remmember the group of guys I used to play D&D with. Our DM, somehow, could always answer the most random of questiosn with amazing speed (like, instantly) such as the boot size of the local crier, how many and which fingers did the guard you are NOT talking to loose in the war or the birthday of each of the rival city's lord's daughters. Up till today, I still don't know weather he had a really fast imagination or if he just spent way to much time creating the world we would play in.
Improv, watch an improv show. The same thing applies.
Epcot lp if so, he was reeeeally good because someitmes we would just try to bust his balls and try and make him contradict himself.
+Jorge Allthedrums My goal as a starting DM, if i could ever reach that level of dming, damn! Sounds like one awesome DM.
Jorge Allthedrums You make it up the first time they ask, then you write it down.
The above peope are correct he is making it up on the fly and keeping track. As a DM for a group that is always doing their own thing and asking for lots of details. I constantly have to improvise most details
rewatching these old Pete clips and, lo and behold, its Jared Logan! appropriately enough, being a DM.
One of the best parts about playing D&D is being introduced to the term "Murder Hobo."
Thankfully most of my friends are not ''Murder Hobos". We are all just greedy mother fuckers who steal from each other.
pete is being reasonable here
wizard: somewhere there is an ogre i want you to kill him
others: ADVENTURE!
pete:maybe we shouldnt accept quests from strange old men who talk to glass spheres ..furthermore why do we need to kill the ogre what did he do? are you sending us kill some random innocent ogre? also are you paying us for this? is there any REASON we should use our time to kill him? and where the fuck is my eggplant parm!
others: shut up ... ADVENTURE
You're the real mvp
Pete! Remember to take the little soaps and shampoo bottles from that DnD BnB!
As a DM i want this dude as a player it would be great.
even better if he guessed on critical role
What would he guess?
Really funny but a simple case of a shitty DM xD.
Whenever I do a game for newbies I tend to help them all have backstories, make/choose a setting and just fucking let them loose in it. They wander around doing stupid shit for the first 2 hours tops, then get bored of that and when they ask for more, I either get an experienced player or tell them out of character how to nudge themselves towards adventure, or weave little plot hooks into the people they choose to talk to. That's how you get it to someone brand new.
+Thomas Perez you are aware there is a world outside, right? a real one! :D
+Maso Perez NIce
+This Guy Then why are you just sitting alone by your computer, just as productive. Rp'ing with people is a social activity which can be incredibly fun, so that comment you made is just out of place.
"xD" stop
Skalla Gladiatoritron neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd!!!!
Easy fix. Ignore the wizard. Do the tavern stuff. Middle of the night you wake to the sound of screaming. Your eyes snap open and you see flames licking under the room door as you start choking on thick black smoke. Before you do anything. Give me a con save.
Fast forward, the ogre is smashing up the tavern, the wizard is dead. What do you do?
haha, this is totaly how my party plays DnD :)
I love em for it though.
the best way to fully immerse lol :)
I love when only 2 of the party speak a certain language, and you have IC discussions about how to backstab the party to get the best loot and there is nothing they can do about it because they don't speak the language IC to understand what you're plotting.
Morale: Never trust reptilian races.
HunterX57 or just start giving secret notes to selected players, after 10 minutes everyone is killing each other. I do this sometimes with just worthless info on the notes and see how the rest of the party reacts :)
Unironically love having pete players in the group
The skits are getting better and better!!! I'm so sad the show was canceled, Pete. I hope they can reconsider or give you another show another time.
I love these kinds of DMs. Start with "It's a roleplaying game! You can do ANYTHING you want" and then proceed to railroad the shit out of your players.
This shows how DM's get SO mad when you don't play how THEY want...loved the vid.
You must have played with some trash DMs...
As a GM my players can be like Pete, and I love them for it!
General Manager?
BunniesLikeCarrots GM as in Game Master
Wow, that DM really *is* bad. He's the least descriptive and most railroading fucker I've seen play this. A good DM would describe shit and let them do as they please while still leading them to the story, not this bullshit. What kind of DM just says "he uses Thunder Dash". Like, is this DnD or Final Fantasy?
TrueFriends HelpMoveBodies Pokemon, and it was super effective!
+TrueFriends HelpMoveBodies As a newbie DM for our 5e group, i feel like this is me at the moment. Since none of us really know the rules that well (enough of the basics to play at least) and have no prior experience dming, and the players first time playing DnD, its really hard to get adventures rolling so well. Spent hours in a town not sure how to relay quests to them and stuff like that.
Any good DM has an ability to lead a game without railroading
K, I haven't played dnd before, but if the players don't want to talk to the wizard or completely ignore the quest, can't the DM improvise ? Like have the ogre show up to town while the stay at the inn, or have them fight bandits that try to rob them in the inn? Or does the DM have to do exactly as whatever the quest module says has to happen?
Also, are quests really this simple and cut and dry? " go kill ogre" and he's right outside the town , and then suddenly boss fight, no journey to it, no other fights along the way, no potential loot? Wouldn't a better first quest be " go help these archeologists on their excavation in some ruins"?
+bob jackson yes , just shitty dm for the joke usually is much more fun then this and involves a LOT of wenches and wizards and sages before any orgs . . or the other way aroind thats also fun
Yea good GMs would figure out that the players want to do something away from the pre-planned story and work with it though sometimes you can have a player that just always does random stuff.
As much as the DM in this vid is pretty crappy, the toxic player is, well, exactly that. D&D should be a collaborative effort, and when a player is purposefully working against the collaboration, they really shouldn't even be there. Life's too short for bad gaming.
Well, it's comedy so Pete's behaviour is just for laughs, but if we were to suspend disbelief, I don't think he's necessarily purposefully working against the collaboration. He just seems to be really dedicated to roleplaying his character. His character presumably didn't enter a tavern to talk to old wizards. He want there to get food, some rest, and maybe some sex. The DM didn't really make an effort to appeal to his character's motives but just assumed he would do the "obvious" thing regardless of whether it makes sense for his character to do that. Maybe his character would be more eager to slay an ogre if a flirtatious wench promised him adventurous food and buttstuff as a reward.
Gotta say Pete's doing it right, no need to rush that much xD I'd love to watch a full session like this!
See, this DM was just bad at his job. If I had someone like Pete I would make the mundane interesting.
Or just bring the action to Pete if he won't go to the action.
The ogre was just a distraction and the old wizard was a henchman. The Big Bad just wanted the adventurers out of town for his attack, so while the two are fighting the ogre, the Big Bad attacks the town. Pete's buttstuff session with the wench is suddenly and rudely interrupted by a boulder thrown from a siege weapon crashing through his tavern room. It misses Pete narrowly but the wench isn't as lucky. She tells him "it's a shame. I would have liked to do more buttstuff with you" before the light leaves her eyes forever. A soldier steps into the room through the wrecked wall, sees the dead wench and Pete's unsatisfied hard-on and bursts out laughing.
@@DissectingThoughts you are pretty creative!
Geek & Sundry should get Will Wheaton to have Pete Holmes as a guest for tabletops lol
Geek & Sundry should give Pete Holmes a show.
Wooo! I'm goin' downtown to Browntown! :D
To all those saying the DM is shit- you could make a good case that the people who made the vid knew that too. The DM specifically states "you can do ANYTHING you want" then for the rest of the time works against all his suggestions.
Man I wish I could play this game so much. When will wizards make a tool or something for consoles that will allow you to host a D&D game with other people? I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Ever try the website Roll20? It's kind of like that. It might take a bit of work, but you can use it to create whole adventures and play with friends or random strangers.
pbandme24 I will definitely check that out. I've always been so interested in d&d, especially after reading the rulebook for 4th edition and seeing how it all works. Absolutely fascinating. Should be one of the 7 wonders of gaming.
pbandme24
Refresh my memory, Roll 20 combines video chat with custom (ish) maps. I'd have to have video, I've always relied more on conversation and expression than thick pages of notes and maps. My experience has taught me to have your NPC's, plot and loot ready but not necessarily the how, when, where or why. A showdown, plot twist or discovery that happens organically are always much more memorable.
Sometimes big things can be set in motion without the players realizing it. A freedom fighter could have reverse pick pocketed some item onto a character. That wench could be a spy with a death squad about to make a move on her. One group of characters I ran had been unknowingly gathered, raised and trained to fight a mysterious group of conquerors. The "bad guys" were actually older versions of the characters. The characters had been summoned from a parallel world as children by the "good guys" and never told about any of it. Like all my stories it was open ended in how the characters could approached it, even if what they chose was to avoid a confrontation from the big bad/their supposed destiny. (and why not, the "good guys" were using them as a weapon after all)
1:55-2:22 i lost it. XD
This is exactly what my D&D games were like with my buddies.
Rolling on the floor laughing! Having someone not do the cliche meet & greet at the tavern with legitimate responses was hilarious.
My friends and I play Heroes (Based of the Palladium books, basically D&D with superheroes -- if anyone can find it, I'd suggest giving it a try) and we've basically done this sort of meandering and investigating so much that it's become half RPG and half improv-sketch. Have to break the rules a little to roll for ridiculous things ("Is the toilet paper scented or unscented?") but man, if you get the right group of nerds together, it is an absolute blast.
This is just like any game of d&d ever. You have a plan of what you think the players will do and they end up soaking in the vibe of their rooms
"Game Ogre"?
It's never Ogre!
Imagine recklessly approaching a wizard while he ponders his orb. Pete had the right idea.
Seriously, why would a network not renew the Pete Holmes show?
You are awesome, well at least we still have your podcast - I just discovered that the other day. I hope you can still keep making videos in the future too...
Marty
It's sooo annoying when people END their sentences with their NAME, when it's already visible in other places. It's like they are thinking "I better end this sentence with my name so people know it was ME who posted".. pff!

The dots you see are used to mark the end of sentences. We call it a period. So when he used 3 periods he has ended his sentences. You probably got the word sentence and comment mixed up. No problem Ironcclaw, you will get it next time.
Dixar
What are you talking about? He ended his text with "Marty" as the last thing. You are too stupid and have poor reading comprehension.
Martin Dolan
Blah blah blah, can't be bothered to read your crap. It's still fucking annoying and stupid ending a text with one's name when the name is already shown.
Pete is the only one actually playing d&d in this sketch.
Tavern scenes are the best. Our group always spends time ordering food and drinks and getting rooms and hitting on women if there are any. And then we go about our adventure.
I'm outside on the porch and it's midnight, and the bell from the town hall just rang exactly in time with the music at the beginning. I thought it was part of the music except it kept going afterward... lol
I like how the Wizard was like "There's an ogre somewhere" and then BAM they're in front of the Ogre with no explanation as to how they got there.
Also D&D games are supposed to have moments of bullshitting in the beginning where players establish their characters and the DM warms up their improvisational skills and gets to know the players. Jumping headfirst into an adventure in the first minute of play is just lame. Where's the foreplay? Let me get to know my character and teammates.
@Srithor My wife and every other girl I've ever had sex with (7 other girls) would vehemently disagree with that sentence.
@Srithor Were you dropped on your head as a baby? You should care. If you tried to do that to a woman with no foreplay, i.e. no lube, no loosening her up, etc. I'd be surprised if she actually would let you stick it in there. You have no clue what you're talking about. Probably a virgin.
@Srithor "Going downtown to browntown" is a reference to anal sex. That's what the sentence in the video meant and that's what @Dash Galaxy meant. If you were referring to something else, then you are contributing nothing to the conversation and shouldn't have even said anything. If you truly didn't know what it meant, then yes, I'd say that means you don't know what you're talking about.
A lot of commenters seem to be overlooking the "Pete abuses the 'complete free will' aspect of D&D" written in the description. The DM did fine. If there was a problem it was Pete.
When I was GM, I allowed just about anything. We still talk of the time of using Will Power to see if someone could force out a shit into a hollow book from which something was stolen, so it wouldn't feel light when the stooge woke up after a sleep spell wore off. :D
I'm with the dude below....I'd watch Pete play this game in FULL!!!! Pete is one of the most underrated TV personalities of all time
Salute to Pete.
He's doing D&D right!
I love it!
tbh I was a little worried about this since pete is usually a complete savage with some of my favorite characters, but this was objectively funny. xD
Matt Mercer shoulda DM'd this. he woulda rolled with petes shenanigans and had a good time.
Take away the angry frustration, and this becomes a pretty standard session for a lot of DnD, lol. My players have literally made the, "BnBDnD?" joke before.
That "Nice" at 1:46 cracks me up
You successfully soaked in the vibe Haha
This takes me back. We all liked to screw with each other, both the players and myself. If they walked in a tavern with some old wizard yammering to his magic stone one of them would probably say, "Hey, Weird Guy! Cut that sh*t out!" One guy's special weapon was a giant "enchanted" potato peeler. He liked to jump on dude's backs then, well, do what potato peelers are for on the target's face. There was one time an otherworldly being with no face tried to recruit the team for a quest but they refused. When he said that was unfortunate, all cryptic style, one of them replied, "no, THIS (pointing at her own face but in reference to his non-face) is unfortunate". Initially thrown off I told them an anime style "cross vein" started throbbing on the creature's forehead. The only sign that the expressionless creature had been offended. We laughed a lot on that one.
I was gonna say "Am I the only one who pete's route more fun than any others route?" but then I saw the comments so yeah I am not the only one. WHICH IS A GOOD THING!
That's so hilarious! Ages ago I played a RPG with some friends (can't even remember what game was - vampire the masquerade, maybe) and I spent like an hour or so just prepping breakfast and going to get the paper at a news stand ahaahah everybody was so pissed off at me
no one mentions that brown town can occasionally be overly congested with traffic due to its location downtown
Really need to find a group of players to play D&D with, always wanted to try it
This is basically our group. We have the one Pete Holmes player.
"you can do whatever you want in this game"
*gets mad for him choosing his own way instead of the linear path*
There was a chain restaurant in my last campaign that had a special "passport" that got stamped every time you visited one of their locations. If you visited all of them you got a special hat with the logo on it and some free food. The quest to visit every one of the locations was probably my PCs favorite mission in our entire campaign.
Classic: the first die roll was to see if someone was hot
A good DM puts an assassin in Pete's hotel room and improvises a connection between it and the ogre, and opens it up to whatever the larger plot of the questline was.
Also, that ogre is at least CR 6 and they are at most Lv2.
Marios Athalakis The Orge has cerebral palsy, so he's only CR1. He's actually been bullied by the nasty wizard (a frequent violent drunk) all his life, since he's not able to fight back he's always just had to take it. However, eventually he kinda snapped when the wizard kidnapped his ogre wife, and cursed her to turn into a human whenever she's in light. The curse also caused her to forget her memories when in this form and think she's a waitress working in a tavern. The Orge has been building a magic particle accelerator he can use to break the curse and defeat the dastardly wizard.
Don't bring a vodka bottle to a D&D game. You have become the chaotic with the peace.
Hilarious, Pete! You took D&D and you made it weird.
If you cut your mutton with a frost sword your food will be cold before you eat it.
"wooh i'm going downtown to brown town!"
this is one of my favorite Pete Holmes Sketches
He fudged the fudge roll!!!
If Pete hasn't played D&D yet, he DEFINITELY SHOULD. I think he'd really enjoy it with an experienced DM ready for his bullshit.
I could watch this as a series lol
Average Saturday DnD with friends and beer. 20% Actual gameplay 80% absolute fuckery and laughing about bullshit.
ahahhahhahahha amazing bro ! You are Fkn Amazing! 😁
love how people who is actually into D&D knows that the one wrong in this situation is the DM
Pete Holmes you need to do more of this you are good at RP but some advice get a real DM
Best DM ever. I would have him do voices for at least 32 different characters in the game.
