In a world of magic, teleportation, and shapeshifting druids, the part where a wealthy and powerful person was held accountable for breaking the law was the most unbelievable plot point.
Story twist: The conglomerate controlled the authorities as well, making the CEO indispensable. The PCs were swallowed up by the machine as the oligarchy continued unabated. The end. Roll up new characters.
@@commandercaptain4664 i mean i think they were one step away from that and was why the corporation needed the platinum. Had the corporation obtained it, they would have become unstoppable
Not really. For instance in this case it would untenable for a company to be able to keep such a person after such a massive public opnion loss. People generally frown upon warcrimes. On top of that governments and corporations hate each other in a unquie sort of way since each curbs the others power.
And Ultimatly thats working under the assumption that the people in charge. Be it on the board of directors or the governmental officials are all mustache twirling levels of evil. Which usually they aren't. (Well maybe not so for the goverment officials but I digress) besides even if the people on the board are greedy bastards. Since they are so rich they easily could have the mindset that what the CEO did was frankly unnecessary, and just not work the potential loss for a gain that would ultimately change very little if anything for them.

I had a Druid who was hell-bent on destroying society and reverting the planet back to its original state. I was so close, only a few steps away from starting the onslaught, but unfortunately the group went silent and no games went on for over a month, so I had to drop out.
out of curiosity how were you planning on sending the world back to the stone age?
That is actually uncool of your group... it would have been funny to watch how you did it.
I did the same thing but i won, i Played a Spore Druid that had a Spore that acted the Same way as the Spores in The Last of us, The party was not aware of my "Nature" I played the Ol im a goody goody druid.
I’m actually about to play one of those myself! A Wildfire Druid named Faad Vermilion (Red Dragonborn). Due to, circumstances that happened, he’s developed a lust for destruction, wanting to wipe humanity and society from existence to allow nature to reclaim that which was forcefully taken. Funny thing? The campaign is PERFECT for him, because we’re a bunch of pirates! Starting out as slaves for a variety of crimes when we have session 0/session 1 next month. The rest of the crew is fine with my love for destruction, since we’ll already be pillaging and raiding. Though he’ll need to restrain his anger and desires during some parts, as apparently the DM has it so part of the story is that we work with shadier nobles and royals to gain certain freedoms in their territories.
Would jave loved to see how the party turned against you PCBBEGs.
Party: ...
Druid: Laughs in Druidic
Since Druidic is actually the of language of trees in D&D, this means he basically started shaking his body in some bizarre way. Which is an interesting mental image.
"He was equal parts defeated and proud." That point in your campaign when you realize your players have cut the Achilles heel and you're totally waiting to see them stride into their glorious victory.
I know. I love that moment as a GM and a player just as much.
Yeah, reminds me of a time in a similar setting where my players had all managed to successfully stealth their way through a business building dungeon, despite tiny floating sentry eyes covering everywhere, and quickly taking them out when spotted.
Its smart, who would use druidic magic in a city
And then the point right after that when you realize that a game right DND is one of the best games ever because it’s not about winning or losing but literally how are you play the game right up to the end. I want saw a game where a guy just full-blown lost his character, but he did it in such a way that the whole world that the campaign was setting was better off for his sacrifice.
When the druid died, his spirit probably reincarnated as Captain Planet.
Or a slime

I had the idea of being a druid and walking through a city and planting seeds along the way, then telling the mayor that the town would have to repent for crimes against nature and if they refused there would be consequences, and when they refused I would rampantly grow all the plants I had planted in the town.
Depends on the Druid set up. I've seen everything from pseudo-hippy, to red in tooth and claw, to corporate druids.
the druid would half to take a few levels in the bard class as well but I think its possible.
How about a female gothic druid with power to grow magical roses. And then her most powerful form is the black rose.
I do not know about D&D but in Pathfinder a single well played Druid can destroy even the most advanced cities. Always fear a Druid with an evil alignment.
dude this reminds me of so many anime! anime directors have a fascination with "nature takes over" apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic stories, and I also found the idea interesting. One more reason I would like to play more DnD for.
I seriously want to play an evil druid one day.... The discord server I play on has a god specifically for using nature for evil purposes so that'll probably be one of the characters I play on there eventually
A plague/disaster druid are scary builds in 3.5
Bro whats scarier is a rogue that nearly abandoned the party for tressure---
LIKE WE NEEDED EVERYONE---
As someone who played a blind druid in 3.5, I can assure you this is true. Even being blind I was rendering the entire city's standing army useless. Aoe crowd control and damage spells are super powerful...especially when the aoe is 3 city blocks
Druid and party teleport into CEO's office.
CEO: Alright, who left the tree open?
Lol
JoCat's "Crap Guide to D&D: Druid" would be proud of this player showing what will happen to those who disturb Mother Nature.
But seriously, that was great thinking on that player's part. Of course all normal modes of teleportation would be blocked, but someone who didn't believe in nature definitely wouldn't have thought about or considered nature based spells from a druid.
Except if there was magic barriers up then nature magic wouldn't either as magic is magic doesn't really matter the source of the magic.
@@michaelkeha
Looking through all possible spells that could prevent teleportation, and the major issue I have found is that they all stop travel into the space, with the Private Sanctum stopping travel out of the space, and the rest stops planar travel. Not one spell stops travel within itself. I think we would all need to know every spell involved in that building's protection to know for certain if it truly would have worked or not. Either way, that druid thought outside the box.
@@laschicvalisca2481 the DM new because he set it up
@@michaelkeha the dm probably just set it so that blocks a specific set of spells from working
"Someone who didn't believe in nature"?
Wha... I... huh?
They think trees are just old wives tales?
Druid: "Clackety clack get into my sack (of holding)!"
Deadass read this as "clickety clackity, get in my sackity" and I'm not even sorry.
Get in my purse
I think the best thing I ever said when playing a druid was when one of the other characters said that because I was a druid I was a vegetarian, to which I replied "I'm a druid, not a hippy, I don't pretend to be one with nature."
Nature eats people, man.
In my Ars Magica game, I'm basically a bear druid. The party was horrified that I ate a cat, as they thought I wouldn't hurt an animal.
"Big things eat little things all the time. That's nature."

Had a HARD time?
There’s layers to this joke lol
When you say "don't mess with nature" I expect tornados or earthquakes or insane lightning storms or a pack of grizzlies. Not tree stride lol.
True, but sometimes strategic use of skills is far more effective then brute force.
@@NEOMNIMON I get that but... This was a very specific moment for a very specific spell. This power of nature was an overlooked teleport spell. I'm kinda into the nature vs industry trope, and while this was a victory for nature, there is so much more raw power a druid or even ranger could have in even a heavily urban city. Do you realize how much damage an unhappy druid could do in NYC with just awaken shrub and tree? You could paralyze a big city with weather changes. Nature is everywhere and all around us. Always.
Now I'm picturing someone running around Central Park awakening everything.
@@Zellonous I like to think of it as the most natural thing. It's the tree that finds the crack in the sidewalk and grows through it, its root system worming into the concrete and breaking it down.
Yeah, massive super-powerful shows of force are definitely in nature's wheelhouse, but most of the time nature fighting industry isn't that. Most of the time, nature is subtle and obstinate, instead of overwhelming and unstoppable.
@@Alyxandeyr I get ya. In this instance it'd be more interesting if it were actually a tree whose roots busted up some concrete. In this instance it was a teleport spell that happened to involve trees. Subtly IS powerful. It's how solid rock is ground down by blowing sand and cleaved by water. Homeboy druid used a teleport spell.
I can't believe you even had tree stride prepared in an industrial setting.
Crazy Prepared.

So they wanted to remove the tree huggers to get their hands on precious metals? where have I heard that story before...

@@cwovictor3281 Not true! Sometimes it's oil...
@@cwovictor3281 while true I much prefer something more unique such as having to find a balance between the natural/magical world and the futuristic/sci-fi world before they end up destroying each other, and have them come together as one. Technology and nature do not have to be at odds with each other.
God, brilliant. I started grinning and laughing the moment his character did in this story. Take that, samey cubicle-based offices with mandatory bonsai tree decor. xD
I was expecting the druid to turn every single bonzai trees into a giant sequoia XD
Honestly level 20 druids could probably do that without a sweat. They're scary.
I didn’t expect to see Matt Mercer blow me a kiss in the video, but I won’t complain.
Timestamp?
Damn they went full on Phantom Thieves on the CEO!
I hope they listened to "Life will Change" during that session
They took the treasure. Moana would be proud
am I the only one that got the movie "Hackers" vibe from this story?
HACK THE PLANET! HACK THE PLANET!
They're trashing our rights man! TRASHING! TRASHING!!
**Nature intensifies**
I'm currently just imagining a druid shape-shifting into a bird all while maniacally laughing.
Bonsai trees are truly the most powerful trees
Something tells me that warlock's patron has named itself AM and I don't like where it's going
... at least they can still scream... ;)
Mmmmm *B O O K*
I've never played D&D in a cyberpunk setting, but one of my favorite games was in a... I suppose you could call it an early example of dieselpunk. I played a tinker, a custom class the GM was working on, who had a set group of schematics and things I could create and certain schools I could progress in for different types of effects. I ended up going down the High Explosives line mostly because I thought it was funny. But the scenes from the game were great - trying to steer a donkey-powered cart away from a rampaging WW1 style tank, fighting our way down an old-school train one car at a time, and in my case having a romance-that-could-never-be with one of the enemy necromancers who were plotting wickedness. It was a lot of fun.
“Crotchety old fart.” Gotta be one of my favourite lines from this story.
"components for a ritual to empower computer virus"
WAT
it's dnd just ROLL with it.
Maybe computer parts (components) to build a super computer(ritual) to either help brute forcing parts of the security system or empower an AI to search for weaknesses in the system and adapt to it.
Tron
Nah, probably some kind of sci-fi chip module that gives the virus AI sort of modular intelligence, or some technobs.
I would love to know how exactly the DM wanted them to successfully continue after locking them in the room with all of those locks and guards.... Sounds a bit too hard
DM might have wanted them to retreat so the campaign could go on a little longer.
We don't really know how many rolls they had failed too, but the feeling I get is that the DM was making the conglomerate as a really powerful organization, and enforcing it quite explicitly.
Also, he looks like someone that does not like to give players too much of a pause. Wich is neither good nor bad.
Brady Needham probably was going to capture them
It was possible they were too slow with a few too many bad rolls. RNGesus giveth and RNGesus taketh, but one thing he can not is creative thinking... When dice rolls aren't involved.
"I played with his monkey, and he allowed me to stay... He said his little friend never looked so happy"... Phrasing!?!
I wish my Boyscout troop was as awesome as your Druid.
A Google it b a boy scout is a boy trained for(in dnd terms) proficiency in survival
Supposedly it is also to be a place to develop morals and get friends. Never got the second either.
Gods I love druids, I don’t know what it is I just love the main trio of spellcasters wizard Druid n cleric they all just have so much flavour and story telling potential, I think my ideal class would be a Druid with a hexblade style subclass, probably focused around shaman esque spirits both of nature dreams and ancestors could be a lot of interesting stories there

Yes I have
I've Ran 2 D&D/cyberpunk Campaigns, both set in my homebrew world of Loc Danan(i based it off of the Norman Conquest of England). The key focus was an all-out Civil War between the Druidic Circles & The Imperial Garrisons, with the PC's stuck in the middle. The Garrisons were basically the High-technology areas(Warforged that was basically Robotics, Laser Rifles, etc.), while the Circles were the classic D&D tropes. I used 3.5e for the system but am thinking 'bout transfering it to 5e after the Eberron setting drops....
I played a psychotic terrorist mercenary elf in Shadowrun in the early 90s.
How do you share with you a D&D story? My friends and I are close to completing a campaign and wanted to see if you were interested in how it turned out.
Sadly, I haven't played D&D yet, but I'd be just as excited for a cyberpunk campaign as I would be for a standard one. Steampunk would be awesome as well!
and this is the kind of shit that makes me feel empowered in terms of telling people "nah m8 just wait" when i almost get discouraged from playing druid and playing druid "my way"
?? Tree stride as a hummingbird?
well...DM allowed it, and allowed everybody to get into the bag of holding.
but all in all VERY clever use of spells and items
This trick is still doable under RAW, as I understand it. Plant Growth, level 3 Druid/Ranger/Bard transmutation. After an action's worth of time, All plants within 100 feet of a point within a 150-foot range (no line-of-sight specified) become thick and overgrown. When scaling a skyscraper such as this one, with 15 ft between floors, the druid can cast on a point 5 feet from the ceiling of the 6th floor (6x15=90, plus 10 feet), and be able to transport his entire party 12 floors straight up, and he can do that as many times as he has 3rd level spell slots, plus whatever spell slot he uses for the Treestride/Transport via Plants. Indeed, best practices for this tactic might be to scale the building using the method, using as many 3rd level slots for Plant Growth and 5th level slots for Tree Stride as necessary, plus one to get back down to the party and one 6th level-Transport Via Plants to get them up to the CEO's office. Would leave a massive trail, but hey, their cover's already blown and security's already on their way, what else are they going to do?
I'm not picking a fight with you or anybody else here,
However, DM ruled the player can do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ oh well
@@Mileadus a level 20 Archdruid can still cast in beast form, so why not? Super creative thinking, any good DM would reward it.
First rule of fighting druids: burn/cut EVERY tree around in a 10 mile radius.
At level 20, I fully expected sabotage of the building's earthquake protections (because who would think to sabotage those?), along with a localized Earthquake. Can't post quarterly gains when your trillion dollar building is rubble.
And end up like the communists in Germany before woII, nah.
I have to admit, I am in love with your channel. Gives me the D&D fix that I cant get otherwise. I just wanna play!!!
I stayed until the video and even sat through the sponsor bits. you advertised for a convention that if I'm not mistaken is already over
Halloween 2020. So next year.
@@NEOMNIMON ah. I misheard the date then. My mistake.
This is exactly the kind of ingenuity where regardless of what the established lore or anything was I feel I have to reward via the Rule of Awesome. Like if my player notices a small thing and goes "Wait this is a thing right?" and its this level of genius then I am immediately like "Hell yeah it is dude"
"I'm the druid, I speak for the trees. Cut a tree and I'll break your f*cking knees."
The gif he is using is making the Druid shrink then pop back up and it’s unsettling
Lol "No teleporting!!!"

"You can tree teleport though lol."

Level 20 Druids are basically demigods, assuming whoever is playing them has a decent brain. Even if they only have half a brain, they're still easily rivals to Superman.
As far as I understand level 20 anything is basically a demigod in d&d.
@@martinsmouter9321 albeit not all level 20's are made equal lol
Thanks for the reminder about your sponsor at the end. I wanted to check it out and forgot about it halfway through the video.
That is freaking awesome, as a 20th level druid I think he should of had polymorph, that would be great for battle, or infiltration. If not then he can use wildshape
that would actually be a cleaver way to hide your method of movement tree stride and you have trees set up all over an area like those decorative medians and places in shopping malls and squares
Wait wait wait, your party thought that a full caster with the ability to shape shift was useless?
I think people tend to underestimate them until they see a good- or even half decent attempt at handling one. The versatility does make it easy to not know what to do with them. That was absolutely my reaction too, though.
I read this story on a forum a few months ago...inspired me to create the Druid I have today. So cool!
Absolutely beautiful. Also, try Shadowrun!
All Things DnD, aka, Apollo Justice reading DnD stories
i read this story about 2 months ago in a forum online!!!!

sabin97 same here!!
Hahahah xD just in time to listen the master plan
I really like the idea of this setting so much
Wow!! Incredible work with tree stride!! I love it!
"My maniacal laughter out of character". Such great memories, driving home as dawn breaks with aching ribs from laughing so much after a great night playing 2nd addition in the late 80's.
Wild, I remember reading the Druid story when it first showed up on the subreddit
The end made it feel like that 90s movie off awesomeness, Hackers..... But with a d&d flair.
Every one of these stories has natural 20 at exactly the right time. This is just amazing. The luck these people have, that's why they are RUclips famous and I am just a random commenter.
I would've made a druid who was a cyborg, using tech to morph his body into animals and release robo animals as summons
I had a WarForged Druid named Optimas Primal. Who transformed into a Huge Gorilla from beast wars.
Also thought of an urban moon druid - focused on small nature in the city, turn into pigeons or rats for scouting, large dogs for fighting
HOLD UP!!! That warlock idea is absolutely METAL
I played a druid that was also into necromancy. He was quite chaotic as he favored the death cycle of life more than living part of it. I joined the campaign fairly late due to living out of state, and they laughed when I said I was a druid.....but then they saw the destructive side of nature.
I and a group of fellow heroes are setting up an interactive DnD stream. Viewers can make decisions and influence the story by making suggestions to the dm. If viewers poll for something to happen, the dm will make it happen, throwing constant monkey wrenches into the adventure.
Would you be interested in viewing such a stream?
I think that'll be a really cool idea and very fun!
@@patrickterry5013 We'd need a TPP anarchy and democracy style system, though. To prevent things from being stale while curbing murderhobos.
My son played a druid in one of our campaigns ("regular" fantasy setting). We were trying to work our way out of some goblin caverns, and all the party was low on hit points, the cleric was just about out of healing spells and potions, and the goblins were hot on our heels. To buy us some time to escape, my son, the druid, cast a Stone Shape and created a thick lattice-work of stone, filling the tunnel behind us. It took the goblins several precious minutes to bash through the two-inch-thick spindels of stone blocking their way, but it didn't stop them. And while we kept running, we were getting exhausted. Once more, the goblins were catching up to us, and we realized we might have to make a desperate last stand and prepare for a TPK. The druid, however, had one more trick up his sleeve. Again he cast Stone Shape, and in a large, 3 foot by 10 foot area, six inches deep, he sank the floor, leaving it riddled with sharp, six-inch-long spikes, close enough together to impede progress. Goblins are generally barefoot...at least, the ones in this campaign were. While they might only have taken a point of damage per spike, in that 3x10 area there were hundreds of them. They couldn't get past it, and we managed to escape. The DM later came up to my son and told him, "That was absolutely brilliant!"
Capital B: "Hmmm... Dr. Quack! Burn all of the bonsai trees! Yeah, it'll ruin the feng shui, but the last thing I need is that naked lizard and his pet bat to find an ability that lets them teleport between plants!"
Never assume a bonsai tree is innocent. XD Great story.
I've got no words for how epic that turned out.
Good on you for sticking with your vision for your character
This was one of the top stories I heard so far
Dope. Ive always loved the "city druid"
That is a ballsy move, jumping into a bag of holding. But hey, level 20. They probably had breathing apparatus!
Also, AMAZING JOB! Oh man, that was amazing. Tree striding with a freaking bonsai tree. I don't think I could have thought of that.
So basically a happy alternate ending to the story of the Dakota Water Protectors/ Dakota Access Pipeline
Of all things, that well placed gif of Matt Mercer killed me.
My current campaign is a D&D 5e campaign set in medieval Japan. No, not a Japanese-flavored fantasy land, but an alternate history version of our own world, with gates to other worlds. The characters are ancestors of characters who will live centuries in the future in a time when magic has passed into vague memory, but when what was once magical may now be accomplished through technology and virtual reality. I haven’t decided what rule set I will use, but I like the idea of working as much as possible within the 5e framework, like the interoperability of Pathfinder and Starfinder.
2:42 so the plot of James Cameron's Avitar then
Your deep British voice skids like Fenris from dragon age and I love it.
Tree stride...”Both trees must be living and at least the same size as you.”...
Sometimes the most mild of methods, (cause this is not the "power of nature" method I was expecting), are the most dramatic
The Nerdarchy logo looks like the BORDERLANDS Vault symbol
I ran a modern Pathfinder game in Arkham from Lovecraft once. Worked pretty well. Also, dumpsters make great disguises for mimics in a modern game.
This world sounds like it would suck irl. "He got the necessary permits to drive them off their land by force."
アニメのゴミ um... is this being sarcastic? Because I can’t tell.
[I am confused because that IS how our world works IRL, except magic replaced tech in a logical manner]
@@SerDerpish fair
I want to say (as a longtime DM) that my suspicion is that the DM put the bonsai trees in each room totally on purpose. He KNEW what the druid could do with Tree Stride.
He just acted surprised to let the belittled player have his big big moment. I think we are in the presence of a great DM letting a Great player and a really cool party have the time of their lives.
Wow thanks for picking it up! it was the top tale on reddit slash dnd the day I discovered it, and a cool read
Never heard of a campaign like that, flippin’ sweet.
Nice use of the spell tree stride. probably not a good idea for the DM to put tree's in every room on every floor, for a druid that means easy teleportation around the building via tree stride. Great job players and DM, this was a good video.
Have to remeber that was the interior designer so naturally the ceo was too clever for his own good
Oh that was great. Hail the druid of industrial resistance!
How the heck is there no Artificer in this group? That would be awesome for that setting.
Artificers we’re not an official class yet at the time
@@codysonic1 I mean, fair lol
The DM is the real mvp, he perfectly pretended he didn't put the bonsais there on purpose so the rest of the team wouldn't cry favoritism xD
just from hearing it i can tell he won an emmy that night.
Tell me more of this modern DnD and why I haven't heard of modules for it before.
AMPMASTER10 you haven’t heard of modules for modern DnD because it is a demented idea.
Evil Overlord Rules #132: Never leave anything one of those Heroes can use to teleport: trees, doorways, anything.
If you are using anti-teleportation magic, ensure it affects every kind of magic, and not specific types.
Or, be smart and just put a few layers of Anti-Magic instead, as well as jammers and anything to block a signal from escaping.
Unfortunately, you can't block all magic and put the entire building in a faraday cage, because it is an actively operating research, development, and business center. It's a multi-billion dollar company, it's not going to have its headquarters with all its most important stuff be cut off from the rest of the world.
@@Alyxandeyr Evil Overlord Rule #133: Never
Ever
*E V E R*
Allow a breach in security during an important event.
If something does happen, simply tell your guests that your building has been breached by "naerdowells" and you have to go deal with it. Surprisingly enough, its a good reason to stop an event and people actually understand. Sure, you'll lose some standing among fellow villains, but you'll probably kill them later so yeah.
And people thought I was cray for talking to trees as if they were people. No joke. I actually did that when I was younger and, at one point, even considered a tree to be one of my closest friends. Well, I just hope that my friendship with trees earns me their favor and aid if I ever find myself in a situation like this.
Perfect example of how you can beat the baddy without violence. That's what I'm trying to teach my kids when we play. There's usually more than one solution to a problem
7:45 usually there's no way for a living creature to endure stay in a bag of holding :I Oh well. DM probably didn't want to ruin an awesome moment for the party - very nice of him :)
