Ok
MORE Will You Press The Button, please. I'd like to see patrons input various prompts.
4E *did* have a lot of good ideas
The instantly prepare but only play 2 hours would be a god send.
Just have everyone in the party press it and everyone has to host a different night as DM or stack 2-3 sessions in a day with different DMs.
I love this stream model because it helps do the effect of a face cam while also looking good and not entering the uncanny vtuber valley
"One of your DND characters becomes real
BUT
World governments around the world know they exist and what they're capable of"
*Monk with deflect missle*
*Changeling*
just grab that one level 20 character you messed around with, and go on a world concurring the world
@@Real-Shadow This question was a little weird. You aren't your character in this case. They just exist somewhere. They probably don't know you exist and wouldn't want anything to do with you even if they did.
@@Nez-ky7hn I would still press it, provided I could make sure it was one of my good alligned characters, so they could go make the world a better place; -by force if nessisary.-
(For leagal reasons, that last part was a joke.)
DEFLECT MISSILE
“Your character gets to cast the wish spell.
BUT
There’s a 60% chance it’ll go wrong and just mess with you.”
So just like my normal wish spells then.
Except when it's used to replace a spell
EXACTLY
No, that's about doubble the risk of a normal wish spell.
I got a djinn one time and my dm said that he had an 80% chance for the wish to backfire.
I hope the orphans i gave it to didnt die
@@chunkerdunkeri wish we could see our parents. All their parents come back as zombies.
The one where there is never any scheduling issues, but can't eat, is rather easily worked around.
Just play a session, when you get hungry ask to end it there, reschedule for 10-20 mins or however long you need to eat and drink, give everyone a brief break, talk about what they want to do for the next "session" and then get right back into it.
You could do it as many times as you want and surely your group would gladly deal with the unorthodox method if it meant no scheduling issues.
I mean... That's basically taking a short rest, mid session.
It's actually what me & my groups of friends (both IRL & Online games) do. midway through the session we'll take a short/long rest, allowing for DM's who need to adjust for player shenanigans to improv some backup plans, players to go to the bathroom, get water/snacks, change out spells & check spell slots, look at magic item charges & generally vibe out for a bit before going back into the abyss for another 2-3 hours.
Old dnd campaign had a dedicated magic shop with its owner being an extremely disheveled and slightly depressed wizard who actively wished harm upon some of the party. His only reason for selling to us was because we were his best customers.
He did give a free lvl 9 fireball spell on the condition that it explodes on the party member that uses it... it was used
😂
That's...
Brilliant!
Javier Saval: *becomes real* A new plane to wreak havoc!
Also Javier: *accidentally ends world hunger* FU-
His good-aligned genie patron, Amani: I hope we all get along real well.
Also Amani: *twists every evil wish into a helpful one* You get a redemption arc! You get a redemption arc! You get a redemption arc! EVERYONE GETS A REDEMPTION ARC!!
Lol. That sounds like a fun character to play.
that instant prep button would be really helpful, but we play for essentially 11 hours straight
How are you still alive afterwards?
@@Astatine95 very good question, I have no idea
instant prep's downside only applies to games where you needed it. I doubt you'd get 11 hours out of a session when you weren't prepared
11:13
this one could be gamed so hard
Especially if
-you get to make up a character in preparations for this
-homebrew is allowed
-that homebrew can be made by me
Can we get a part 2?? 🥺 This seems simple to make and it was a lot of fun😊
8:05 ABSOLUTELY worth it! one of the greatest joys of D&D is the stories you can tell after, like the time my character was Instantly traumatized upon meeting the party, or the time a friend of mine tamed a velociraptor with 5 consecutive nat 20s.
Also, you get to play a new character you've been meaning to!
That third choice was literally an absolute win. I defeat my procrastination *and* have a consistent D&D group?
The problem with Questions 3, 4, and 7 is that they're all objectively beneficial. Say you press the button on Question 3. You now have the superpower of instantly preparing a 2-Hour session, but you can still choose to manually prepare a session of whatever length you want. You aren't limited to 2-Hour sessions, or had to cut off a finger, or anything like that. You still have all the choices and ability you have now, plus this extra option. Question 4, yes, the Wish spell could go wrong, but you never actually have to cast it. It's just a thing you have now that you didn't before. Question 7, that money wasn't a thing before. If you hate shopping, then...don't use the money. You have all the same choices and life you did before you pressed the button, and now an extra one.
A lot of Button Prompts in general suffer from this. Who cares if I can only go invisible when somebody isn't looking at me? That's still something I can now have that I didn't before, with zero detriment for picking it up. It's objective only a net positive for me.
6:50 when you realize that half way through session your throat is dry because you've been talking for an hour, and you can't drink water
I was here for the stream and this was a really fun to participate in, keep it up Blaine 👍
same
3:11 the thing is, the limitation is only when you use the ability, campaigns that you prep normally shouldn't be affected by the limitations, so this is purely a good thing.
11:12 Well, let's see; A chaos mage so batshit insane that they try to keep him drugged down, a Normal Ranger who just wants to find a paradise and live there with his panther, GLARG KILL, definitely a secret weapon, Bob Jackson the bartender god who uses a shepard's crook stuck end to end with an oar to make epic drinks and is at every bar, but speaks in a horrible screechy voice, and Hugh Mann Persson, the "Human Fighter" who is actually a swarm of sentient rats controlling a suit of armor that INSISTS they are a normal human.
I'll "play along" with this video, here are my choices:
0:15 Uh, no. That's unfair to another player, not my style.
2:15 No thanks.
3:05 Oh HELLS YES! If I were a DM, this is an instant PRESS!
3:40 I have only ever used the Wish spell to dual cast. So, there's no incentive for me to press this one.
4:10 This... is actually interesting, being my first "I don't really know" option. Maybe? If I trust the group, yeah this would be fine. So, it's most likely a hard NO press.
4:40 No. Just, no.
5:30 So... if this is outside of that 2 hour play session? HAH! YYEEEAAAAAHHH! Getting all of that time to window shop and cross-reference to purchase just the right items would be lovely!
6:15 Nah. I can't go two hours without water. Scheduling issues be damned.
7:05 Nope. That's just too cruel.
8:05 Sure, I'd press that. Getting a memorable death, plus rolling up a new character to experiment with? To me, that's a win-win.
8:55 No. Someone in your chat summed it up pretty well, 50 years of content may not be "good" content.
9:25 I make multi-class characters already, so this is an instant press.
9:45 HAH! Nope.
10:30 Those are better odds than the potential of being run over by a car during my 10min walk to and from the grocery store. HARD PRESS!
11:05 Governments would KNOW... but could they really DO anything about my character? Yeah, I'd press this one, too.
Woo! That was a lot of fun!
but then again how to define food and is sparking water the same as water?
Chance of death is one in 10'000. It should be impossible to create and lose this many characters.
One drawback is that DnD horror stories leave their victims traumatized.
As for the character death = die in real life one, the chances of that happening largely depend on whether your DM likes going on power trips
@@emmasilver2332 That's true. But that would still be a once in a lifetime experience I wouldn't want to pass up.
“You can prepare the content for any campaign you run instantly but you can only play for two hours once a week”
My ass not being in a game longer than an hour and a half: upgrades people upgrades
the voice acting ability has great use outside of dnd because you can just get any job for voice acting on a show or game and no one need to see your face
I was reading the "You can instantly prepare the content for any campaign you run. But you can only play any campaign you prepare in this way for 2 hours, once a week" button and I was like:
"We tend to play 5-6 hours/week with me doing close to no preparation. Playing only 2 hours would suck so much."
And then I heard Blaine saying that normal sessions are 3 hours long and at that moment I realized how good my friends are.
Personally, as a DM I would love to hit that button and since it states that it is only true for the campaigns you prepare in this way, I would probably only do it for One Shots. That way, I can prepare for longer campaigns and have weekly one-shots to give me extra time and allow me to prepare for the bigger campaign.
11:19 For as much as I love my characters, I must admit they would be considered really dangerous, because the majority of my characters are prone to getting into trouble, and the last one caused a fire that burned an entire dock to the ground, caused a family of white dragonborns to spew fire, told to the most important people in the city that there might be a traitor among them, basically putting their trustworthyness into doubt, and also entered to a tavern where the local mafia had their base of opperations, and was so oblivious that after working for them for a while and knowing their leader was there, he said "Hey guys! Maybe the whole tavern is part of the mafia", and that's just my halfling Virian, a detective with good intentions, bad luck, but also good luck, since he gets into a lot of troubles, and would probably have been executed was in not because he has the right people by his side (his surrogate father and mother being influent in the city, so they cover up his most egregious mistakes and really fond of him due to knowing his heart is in the right place, even though he might have almost given them at least three heart attacks only within the last year) and his dumb luck allows him to avoid the worst sittuations, even doing deeds that deemed him a hero along his party, like when he swam across the whole shore following a murderer and used his detective abilities to follow their tracks and not lose them, saving quite a lot of elves in that city (the murderer actually targetted only elves and half-elves).
I can safely say, I’ve done a significant amount of these. One of characters died in a memorable, stupid way. Paladin that dies to Dex save throw. Module was meant to revive them. I rolled the saves as a joke. DM took it seriously. Lost a fire based paladin, but them screaming ‘Heathens’ while attacking lives on in infamy
The "have a session about your backstory but miss it" is funny to me, mostly because in one of my groups, this has happened to our cleric about 5 times now.
Go to fight the hags that destroyed his tribe? He's away all summer with his family.
Start forging the magic item specifically for him? Has to miss the session due to random work scheduling issue.
I pressed the Like button.
Hell yeah!
What about the sub button? That’s what I hit
ok that was a good joke, ill press it just for that
@@undertalegamer8571 Same
One more like and you're at 69
I would press the session prep button. There are some one-shots I came up with I might like to run someday, but I'm afraid I might forget something or screw something up, so this would be perfect, plus the 2-hour rule only goes into effect if you use that ability, so I can still have long games. I would also press the shopping button. We've had one shopping session in the last several out-of-game months in the campaign I'm in, so we have plenty of stuff we could do to fill that time. I would press the TTRPG-to-full-dive-VRMMORPG button, as well. I have a mental block about getting super into roleplaying (maybe it's because of some childhood trauma or maybe it's because I have Aperger's syndrome) so this would solve my problem. Plus, I always design my characters to be as unkillable as possible since I tend to get attached to them. As for the make-a-character-real button, as much as I love the first ever D&D character I've played, I'd probably press it and make my warforged artificer real, since everyone would just assume it's a normal robot and, although he's capable of one-shotting a full-grown man with his bare fists, he doesn't do so unless he has to, and he loves making prosthetics for disabled people, so there's not much of a chance he'd be targeted since the benefits of having him around far outweigh the risks.
I wouldn't press the perfect-scheduling-but-no-food button, though. The aforementioned campaign is scheduled for lunch time for me since the majority of the people are in a different time zone and I can just heat something up during our 5-minute break. I wouldn't press the level-up-with-every-session button, either. I love multiclassing, since it feels like I'm getting the best of both worlds every time, but I like having a few sessions to get used to my new level and plan out what I'm going to do for the next one. Plus, there's the law of diminishing return to think about, so leveling up wouldn't feel special anymore. I don't see the benefit of the 50-year-5.5e button, though, since I hate it. It's trying to make everything fair and non-threatening, but it lost the coolness factor that made 5e such a success. Plus, it's trying to be fantasy _and_ sci-fi with the new version of Spelljammers, and I can't respect a game that's so focused on getting new customers that it sacrifices its own identity. That's why the majority of the people wouldn't press the button; not because they don't like WotC (which will never die, nor should they, since they can learn from their mistakes and change), but because One D&D is such a cringy, obvious cash-grab. I'd give Blaine a chance at being a rules designer for WotC, though, since he clearly cares about the game, and 4e _did_ have some good ideas; they were just too complicated and hard to keep track of. As long as he doesn't try to make his anime stuff official; there's enough weebs trying to play Sasuke Uchiha and Light Yagami out there without him giving them a way to do so legitimately.
By the way, the preview from when you hover over the thumbnail is of the ad, so it was very misleading. I thought people were going to be made to press buttons that would blow stuff up in a live-play campaign.
10:39 This Is just the plot of SAO In ttrpg form
For the second button, I'd just make a bunch of fun masks to wear for the character I'm voicing
Star Control 2 Utwig style, eh? Not a bad solution
what will you do about the T-posing?
For the Blaine becoming rules designer, some of the 4E rules are what make Pathfinder good from what I've heard, so it could work.
4:10 - Having a backstory session without you attending:
In my current campaign, I play a Half-Ork called Rokk, that got cursed by a sword into becoming a Warlock (while still thinking he is a warrior)
My DM gets to choose who my patron is - if there is anyway to break the curse - or if someone is searching for the blade
We choose together which spells Rokk gets on level up, but I can use it at my (not Rokks) will.
This resulted in Rokk thinking his cursed sword is in fact a magical fire blade (using green-flame blade)
Having a session revolving around 'his backstory' (how he got the sword & who his patron is etc...), without him getting to know anything, would be so much fun ^^
Even more if I don't get to know the content, and the other players / their characters try to explain whats going on with Rokk. 🤣
9:35 - leveling up after each session, but require multi-class
I have something similar set up for an (hopefully soon-ish) upcoming survival campaign, where players get a 'survival'-point after each session (a day of exploration).
Those points can than be used to gain level ups or other advantages (such as stacking inspiration)
9:50 - you as designer for DND
I would like to get a giant PDF with all your comments and ideas to multiple systems (maybe even some community systems) 😛
11:10 - one DND character becomes real
... does the Patron of a Warlock / God of a Cleric become real as well?
then it wouldn't be a fair question anymore ... what would the world governments do against those?
You underestimate my power! I already don't eat or drink while playing 4 hour sessions with no break
In 3rd edition there were monsters and magical effects that would reduce your level (energy drain), and if you hit 0 you were just killed outright. One of many mechanics abandoned in the oversimplification for 5th.
I've seen magical item shops ran both ways, and I'm indifferent because it's a playstyle choice, our dms flex it depending on how we ask to engage, it's kind of nice.
The last one is an easy way to start an apocalypse if you have an evil character lol.
4:08 my campaign I'm thinking of is comedy focused + my character's backstory basically revolves around a funny location he used to live + there isn't much more to be gained by my character returning there than there is through the comedy of the group having to deal with the strange place without me + my character is known for randomly wandering off and doing stuff in the background instead of ever actually moving the plot along
Only disappointment is that I don't get to see it myself(also we're still really early for a backstory session)
Chat plus DnD, Im excited and gonna keep watching these forever
This was great. You need to do another episode of this.
6:22 You underestimate how long I can go without sustenance. EASY press.
The wish spell one reminded me of when we found a genie that gave us three wishes. First one we used to retrieve quest item, second to revive an NPC that got crushed by the boulder said item was found in, and third wish was used to give us a level up. The level up was for a class randomly chosen by the DM. I ended that campaign as a level 5 cleric/1 sorcerer.
I love how he did one pathfinder video and switched back
The best shopping sequence I'm aware of comes from a comedy podcast and I dont know how heavily it got edited. Visits to the shop are based on story beats. There are just homebrew items with unknown effects available and each character gets one per visit. It wouldn't work in a normal campaign but in that setting with that DM it actually is a lot of fun.
With the one where one of your dnd character's becomes real you potentially could have one use wish and make lots of stuff happen if you really try to abuse how wishes work (this can include rewriting reality itself to make it become a fantastic/anime world or fix everything wrong with the world at the same time)
3:03 This sounds awesome, I wish I could play that much, I'd press it even without the first thing.
"You character dies with no hope of returning BUT It's incredibly memorable and a story you'll retell for decades." Oh man. That one happened to me, and I slammed that button with my whole fist. My character's death ended up affecting the story for years after. It was amazing. Super worth it if it ever comes up.
I like the idea of my character coming to exist. Just some random pirate wild magic sorcerer and suddenly every president or dictator or prime minister knows everything he is capable of and knows that if you try to catch him he will use magic but if you don’t he will still probably use magic what a dilemma
I've got one for you.
You get the powers of the DND character.
But
You have to act as they would even if you don't want to.
Ex barb never says no to a challenge and you've been challenged to eat some bug.
My responses to every prompt for the sake of fun and thoroughness:
1. No, it's unfair to my fellow players, I would only do it if the rest of the party agrees to it first, especially if I get to choose who uses the level and can pick the person that would be impacted the least by this.
2. This depends, does it count as voice acting if you're voicing yourself? As a system (i.e. dissociative identity disorder and other situations with multiple people in one brain) we tend to have our ttrpg characters become actual people before too long, and they often play themselves. If voicing yourself doesn't count as voice acting, I would absolutely do this. If not, I'm leaning towards no. The expressionless face isn't a problem, we're autistic so we usually have little expression anyway, but the t-posing feels very unwieldy. Not worth, we'd just have to find the spoons to voice train sometime.
3. Yes, absolutely. There's no downside, pressing this button just gives you a new ability. If you don't want to use it, just don't use it, it's optional, the caveat only applies to campaigns you choose to use it on.
4. Yes. Again, no downside. The wording is that you get to, not that you have to. Pressing the button just gives you the choice to do this. As for that secondary choice, I'd also go with it seeing as the downside is relatively minor if it backfires, just take the time to think out something good and it'll be worth the gamble.
5. Probably no, but it depends on the implementation. There are ways this could be fine, especially if the session is recorded for you to listen to later.
6. Absolutely yes. A well placed guaranteed nat 20 could be extremely powerful. Enemy abilities usually aren't as devastating, and the enemies can't save this for a particular moment, it just happens the first time one rolls a nat 1. Just play a little more carefully until the enemy expends their reroll, and then use your nat 20 as you see fit. If you absolutely need to, you could even use your nat 20 to help recover from the enemy's reroll, should you have to.
7. Yes. This just sounds fun, I don't see much of a downside here.
8. No. I can't do this, I'd need water especially, since with long covid I have to breathe through my mouth sometimes to get enough air and that dries me out more. Especially with some sessions going on 8 hours, it's just impractical.
9. No. I prefer Pathfinder 2e over D&D so this would just fuck me over, plus most people playing TTRPGs are going to be playing systems other than D&D, even moreso in the future, so with this button in effect it'd make things a lot worse for a lot more people.
10. Probably yes. A masterfully executed character death is easily worth the loss of a character. Even a particularly funny one could be nice. However, it could also be memorable and retold for how much of an overwhelming shitshow it was, so it's a bit of a gambit.
11. No. This is a loss of too much stuff people put their hearts and souls into. This would completely destroy the most of the D&D community, especially if you count things like Critical Role and Dimension 20 as content for other editions.
12. Absolutely not. This is a downside on top of a downside. I'm the rare player that doesn't like leveling up very often, because to me it means arriving closer and closer to the end of the campaign and that character. Plus it's a lot of work and there are a lot of potential stories to explore that might not land quite right at higher power levels. Something like this essentially puts a 20 session ticking clock on the campaign, and would force so much to be cut short, not to mention derailing the character concepts.
13. Yeah sure why not. 4E did have some good ideas. The overall implementation wasn't great, but there's definitely stuff to take from it to improve things.
14. ABSOLUTELY YES. There's no downside. They can be as immersive as you want, so just make them so immersive that even if you die in the game and die in real life, your character can just get resurrected in the game and you get resurrected in real life. All you have to do is make sure you trust your DM and fellow players to bring you back. Even then, the odds of this happening are so low you'll probably never see it unless most causes of death are cured before one of them happens to you.
15. Sure, if I can choose who. No if not, too dangerous. Doesn't say it has to be a character you've actually played, or be legal, just homebrew them to be whatever you want.
8:15 ive been wanting to swap out my character but I had already placed rules in how I would allow them to leave, either through death or completing their goals. If they got to do that, AND go out in a blaze of glory, count me in
The preping one is reality for me XD 3:04
I always have a rough idea what I want my players to do and have most of the stat blocks at hand or in my head. But fue to scheduling we can only play 2 hour sessions once MAYBE twice a week. It's not too frustrating because they seem to enjoy it.
as someone who runs weekly 2 hour voice only online sessions, that one was pretty much an unqualified win (and makes the no food or drink one, and the tpose ones also pretty much gimme's)
I love that the first question revealed that 73% of your chat are bad D&D players.
3:33 That's JUST the wish spell.
6:15 specifically states "food or water." So, no snacks, but you can still drink. Just not water. I usually drink mostly soda when in a session so I'd be completely unaffected.
10:50 TRUE words for a hollow knight player
"One of your DND characters become real BUT World governments around the world know they exist and what they're capable of."
Oh boy. If Richy McBling, the goblin wizard, master of illusion and business were to be real... idk if capitalism could stop him
>not being able to eat for three hours
My games almost always run for six, maybe seven hours, and I usually run them around dinner time. I am ABSOLUTELY keeping my food.
The music during the stream was crazy. Glad I could make it
8:36 hilariously memorable one I have: first character I made literally died by his own hand, then the next character I made had a organic 20 in strength at level 1 (6665 + 2 from dragonborn)
Me at 11:20 “Brings in my overpowered lv 20 paladin with an artifact lightsaber and a ring of 3 wishes”
9:30 Oh yeah, definitely.
If I brought one of your dnd characters in to real life it wouldn’t matter unless they want to die as I had this one level 20 campaign and they could end the world as I have been holding onto the wish spell that took months…
2:50 cartoons and games both need voice actors so your face and tposing would not be much of a problem.
I kind of already have the best of both with the scheduling button, been playing weekly games with my group for almost 18 months and overall we only canceled 3 sessions due to family emergencies but we also play right after we all have dinner so nobody has food during the game. Can't ban drinks though or nobody can talk for long halfway through the session
I totally agree. No distracting eating over the game table, and no scheduel conflicts. Win-win.
7:05 Hmmmm. I'd have to look up the popularity charts. If this makes less horror stories overall, press, if not, don't.
the campaign prep one has an easy fix.... prep multiple campaigns
"One of your dnd characters becomes real"
BUT
"Every world goverment know of their existence."
Well hello good sir, I am just a book filled with magical secrets... Write a spell and you may cast one of mine! Wait- You don't have spells and magic here? Send me back. PLEASE, send me back! I don't want to be an ordinary sentient book!
presses 50 years of content button: so how do you like your three subclasses and one race
me bringing a homebrew psychotic murderhobo into irl: uh ooh
As a system - the last one is basically just throwing one of our members out and into their own body again. So sure.
Now, in my d&d games, we happen to go to a bakery/restaurant near where I live. Because they have good food. I'm not missing that
My best answers to some of these prompts:
"Instantly prepare content for campaign but each session is only two hours."
Whats the catch? No seriously, what's the catch? Through all my time playing getting two hours for a session was lucky. and you are saying I can have that each time and have content already prepared? Sign me up!
"The next session is around your character's backstory but you can't attend the session."
If you've seen the characters I play, this would actually be fun to walk in when I returned. In fact, it makes it easier on me in general because I want to avoid exploring the character's backstory as often as possible because it gets emotional and then the fun I was having with them gets sucked out a lot of times. So everyone else experience higher character development while I get to skip it and everything feels normal? I'll take it.
"Party is given enough money to buy everything they want, but it takes 6 hours to do so."
Another "Pretty normal when playing" case here except with benefits, it'd be two hours longer than the normal shopping session but we actually have money. Yes, before you ask, it'd take about two sessions just to leave the market or whatever. And besides, I'm usually getting up to no good when shopping. Either in the case of actually obtaining items, or what I'm buying. I'm the type who likes playing characters who would steal even if they had the money just for the sake of interesting stakes or to avoid entering dungeons I know are going to suck (Which to me, is a lot of them).
"D&D horror stories never happen, except all the time for every other TTRPG"
That's like asking me if you want me to have full access to sprite at all times, but all my favorite drinks are now poison. NO! DnD is fun, but I like other systems way better.
"Your character dies, but it will be amazing."
Depends on the character. If its not a favorite, sure, let's head towards that cliff, it'll be funny! If it a favorite, I rather keep them alive as long as possible.
"Your games feel super immersive, buy you have a .0001% of dying in real life."
If we're talking holo-deck level of immersive, I'll take that chance, seeing the faces and reactions of NPCs of my actions on top of feeling like I'm physically living through the character, YEAH. Better if the way I die as the character reflects my actual corpse. Just a giant axe in my forehead comes out of nowhere as the sessions is going.
"A character of your choosing is real, but world governments know they exist and what they're capable of"
Considering what my choice would be, and especially if he still comes back to life thanks to a vampire priest, but either way, world governments would probably just try ignore him knowing that fighting or capturing him would probably cause a global nuclear war by accident if they tried. He's weird, maybe autistic, still trying to figure that one out myself, but mostly harmless if unprompted. And best, he'd probably out Florida man Florida man in terms of weird news stories.
11:05 That's just Re:Creators D&D Edition!
The scheduling issue one is terrifying, because if you miss a session for any reason, you still wouldn’t be able to eat or drink during that time and there’s no guarantee it doesn’t go longer than normal or even start earlier than normal… 😅
Missing a session IS a scheduling issue, unless you’re missing it by choice, but literally who would do that 🤨
@@KaioKenneth4 me after pressing the backstory button
But what about being the only person to miss it, like for a wedding or a job or something
Power hungry wizard with the Simulacrum Loop. Thanks no, I won't push the last button
11:10 This would be a cool idea for a reverse isekai story
With the last button - honestly, I'd pity the governments. For my characters I mostly go with "loved by people at the table; hated by everyone in-game" (I do my absolute best to listen to feedback from the DM and the other players and we all laugh about my shenanigans out-of-game), so trying to keep them in check would be the worst think one could be put through IRL.
I've played D&D twice, neither of them were completed Campaigns. It was a school club and one got cut short because of more people joining the club. The other because it was 2020.
Anyways, the second campaign is the one I mostly remember, and it's because I got my entire party thrown in prison because I punched a very annoying child, and another thing that was quite funny requires some context.
So my party is in prison, and the thing about the village that we were in, the citizens were oddly stupid. They didn't take our stuff away nor did they keep an eye on us when we were in prison. Because of this the kids were in front of the bars mocking us, and a person in my party said that they should probably stand back since we still had our weapons, and that we could be dangerous.
I took that as them telling me to stab the child, and as the very obvious loose cannon that I was, I did just that. It took me one or two sessions to go from neutral to Chaotic evil. Also, the child turned out alright. There was a wizard or something who healed them and sent us on a quest, going to some kind of alternate dimension that from what I understand is usually used later on in campaigns when used.
My reasoning for bringing this up is because 1. It's funny, and 2. I would definitely press the button to have a session be based around my characters back story. I'd be interested to hear why I was so ridiculously unhinged.
Having said all that, it'd be fun to play D&D again if I get the chance.
Honestly what’s the government gonna do against my 20th level bard
question number 3 was a absolute yes for me, as we already only play for two hours, once a week and are perpetually having preparedness issues.
I’d press the scheduling button, mostly because the downside happens to me normally… being a diabetic tends to mean i cant have any of the sugary snacks the rest of the table brings anyway so im stuck waiting around in agony already. This just sounds like a boon to me if the downside’s already happening.
6 hour shopping session could be cool as like sort of a oneshot set in a magic mall
like scp 3008 type session, try to escape
7:03 Shockingly, there _is_ a way where this exact scenario occurs: DnD becomes completely replaced by another TTRPG, Wizards of the Coast goes out of business, and Hasbro sits on the DnD license indefinitely because they're a bunch of jealous twats!
"Couldn't happen"? It nearly did!
DUDE BUTTON FOUR IS MY LIFE, except it's just the second part. So if I press it, I just have a free campaign.
Only three hours of play?
N'Wah, my group start a 3PM and don't stop till the sun rose the next morning!
I usually play for two hours anyways so, that Burton IS just free time
Ironwood, Shepherd Druid Warforged would be amazing IRL.
Or Tariel, the (Fallen) Assimar (Lycan) Blood Hunter with MC Hexblade.
Here's a button:
You become one of your characters, chosen at random, at a random level that they have already achieved.
BUT
You have no equipment, and the entire world knows who you are. The governments are particularly interested in obtaining you.
i started at level 0 in a campaign, you basically just start out with no class features except for like, a few cantrips... proficency with a sword or smthn... and a wizards hp
Answering the thumbnail I would press it as a level 20 lich seems like a fun character to play as
Voice Acting: I'm fine with my current voice acting skills. Don't think I need that. Sounds like the delivery wouldn't really feel like me anymore, if it's just perfect, and that'd be a shame.
Prepping: I'd rather have a lot of fun playing a session I didn't prep for, than spend so little time on a session I was anticipating.
Wish: oh hell yea! Always any time; chaos, chaos chaos chdhka chaoew fshsnsjam djrjenbdhdjsj jdye, y'know?
Backstory: And I'd rather be there for a session than not be there. I don't really care if my backstory is explicitly addressed in canon. It's really cool when it is. It's not something I need.
The 20 Persuasion: HERETIC! If you forsake Dice Christ, you forsake the Gods themselves!
But yeah. I wouldn't use the 20, if I did press the button, to enhance an attack or something. No, it would be reserved for one of those moments where you can tell, the DM was so close to just going "you know what, I won't let you roll, this is stupid", but they still went for it, they still told you that you could roll. And you did. And it's a nat fucking 20 baby! (I'm a forever DM, I'm allowed. I'll press this button)
Shopping Session: Yes! Not for the magic items, shopping sessions are so much fun! I want this
All Campaigns: Now, I need a clarification on this. Does "actively being hosted" mean "you're playing the game" or just "when you spend time as a group with the intent of playing D&D at some point"? Coz if it's the former, it's worth it, especially since I have misophonia anyways, so not having to hear people chew and chug all the time is a genuine plus.
On the other hand, IS the you after the but everyone in attendance, or just me? All of the others eating and drinking as they please, but I can't. THAT would be hell.
But as long as we can arrange that there's no food or drink at the game's table, but we have a feast together after the first two hours? I'd press it
ALSO it says no water? So that means I CAN drink wine, energy drinks, etc!
D&D Horror Stories: No presso. I mostly play Monsterhearts.
Character Death: Honestly, I would give this button to the Dungeon Master, to press whenever they feel like it.
WotC: I'd rather Wizards go bankrupt and stop releasing any D&D products than press this button. Ew.
Level Up: I don't need to level up that quickly. I also like multiclass a lot. So, like, I'd play a campaign with this, but I would rather not have it be EVERY campaign.
Immersive Role-playing: Another one where I really just want that to be an option of how to play the game, not the default. But one where I can't get what I want just by asking my GM. So I'd press the button, probably.
World Government: I think world government and governments around the world imply two VERY different things and the former greatly scares me XD
I will also say, my D&D characters aren't that wildly powerful. Repping a tiefling rogue who fought with a great club to smash the fash. Fae'd be a cool hang, and faer anarchist tendencies make me understand why governments would hate fem. One was a dragonborn warlock bound to the ghost of the wife of the theatrical director in the acting troupe my character was raised in. She could write beautiful songs, and would drag all her drama here, in all senses of the word. not sure that'd be a good idea. Or I could have an ex-cultist chaotic evil kalashtar whose class I've actually forgotten. But she was literally meant to be a vessel for nightmares. Not the greatest call either, but she'd be SO MUCH fun! And then there's a "human" wizard, except the Flesh God of the setting had stolen all flesh, so "human" means "spirit shell possessing inanimate objects to take form", in this case she essentially built herself a cosplay of a stereotypical wizard, taken directly from the pages of a kids book. The only book she had in her years in isolation. She became a swashbuckler. She would be a menace. I don't think I would survive her presence.
BLAINE, I'm calling you out. I had a 4 hour shopping session, made a map, with food stalls, and little fun activities, I saw a 6 Int barbarian systematically demolish a wizard at dragon chess, I saw a rogue somehow get arrested 45 times in a single hour, and I saw a ranger manage to break out every animal in every pet store. If maximum chaos isn't happening at all times for you durring a long shopping session, you haven't learned how to make a "secret dungeon" into a shopping session. They even had a boss battle with an evil wizard named karen who kept prolonging their buying phase because she had an issue with how the store was run.
But nah, a 6 hour just "i buy this, I buy that, I buy this" that can bite off.
Just walk out of the room and leave the session eat and then come back in
10:47 its just a win/win
0:14 Hard No. Anyone who would push that button is probly a toxic player.
2:12 I could take it or leave it... actually, no. I want to be able to handle my notes and dice while I act, even if nobody can see me.
3:00 If said 2 hours a week is guarenteed, I would press that button in a heartbeat!
3:35 It really depends. Do I need a wish at the time?
4:14 I would not press it. I would rather have no sessions focus on my pc's backstory, then not be present for the one that does.
4:49 I would not do this, because my divination wizard can already do this without the down side.
5:28 Pass. I don't really need magic items; expecially if it costs real time.
6:10 Hell yes, pushing this button is a win-win in my eyes.
People eating over the game table is so distracting for me, and we all know how annoying scheduel conflicts are.
7:00 I would not press this button, and yes, I am banking on D&D dying out.
8:00 Dies as in soul is destroyed? Probly not.
9:00 Hard pass. Both to spite WotC, and for preservationism.
9:45 No thanks. Your doing more good where you are than you could working for them.
10:30 Immertion isn't risking your life over. Pass.
11:10 I would press it, as long as it's not one of my evil characters.
(Not including the World of Warships in the numbers, or the document #)
1- Depends on the level I'm at. [Press]
2- NOPE [Dont]
3- Does this mean I get to play every week? [Press, since it's ok for me]
4- 100% [Press] If it ain't auto-death via the negative, then sure.
5- This is potentially toxic if done. [Don't]
6- Yeah... It's not a roll against me. [Press]
7- I mean, this can be a side session. I'd also guess that we magically get the time to play 6hrs for this. Even though it's just buying stuff. [Press]
8- Because it lacks other drinks outside water, I [Press]. I also play online. Also the others should be effected... I'm not sacrificing myself for this, and they get it free.
9- To save CritCrab [Don't]
10- If I'm retelling it, it's because it was good. Retelling doesn't = complaining or being annoyed by a death. [Press]
11- Does 5.5e count as 5e? Especially since WOTC considers it the same edition and not using 5.5e? Either way that's doubling DND's lifespan for 1 edition. [Don't]
12- Paladin + Sorcerer, or if there is a tri-multi-class??? [Press]
13- TBH, no. I really think the stuff Blaine has released as DND playable content, is underwhelming for the most part. Like anything that's multiple feats, is dumb... [NEVER]
14- a 1 out of 100,000? I mean, as long as the DM is arrested. [Press]
15- Do I get to choose the character? If yes. [Press]
Oh that last button would go good for me because I had a bard who got all his power from a venom like parasite, so I'd just summon the parasite
Changing a roll to a nat 20 is OP because it didn’t say which dice it was rolling
with the horror stories one, two negatives.
For the last button, I would only press it if I could BECOME, one of my charecters
For the voice acting one, I’d do it, but not for DnD. I’d use it for my channel and the animated series that I can’t get off the ground because I can’t find voice actors
For the nat 20 one, I’m not even doing it in dnd. I’m going to make a random d6 become 20 in the middle of monopoly or something
the fact that some of these buttons happen to my group
The problem with the last button is that I made a character who achieved godhood and tried to take over the world. The chances are a little bit to high that he would come into being for my tastes.
