Thank you for your patience. This one took a long time to make because we had too much fun making it. Couldn't stop writing the script. I preemptively apologize for any rule flubs that hardened Fantasy RP veterans might notice. We reserved the right to skip over parts of the rules to streamline the video-making process. I really hope you end up enjoying it, I put a lot of work into it, biggest project I've ever worked on. Won't be making a video like this again any time soon. Next big project I'm hopping on is EP28, which is a lot shorter and I've already finished up a significant portion of it. Expect the time between this video and EP28 to be much shorter than the time between my last video and this one.
@@jacobmcneer609 At least he distracted the ogre and was that one stereotypical antihero. I guess he saw a chance to take revenge for hours of sitting with High Lords.
I honestly love that the Emperor is trying to be a powergamer, not because he's enacting a power fantasy, but because he literally can't comprehend that normal people can't do the overpowered shit that he can do without effort. Dodging an arrow, destroying a soul, commanding other people's will, that's all child's play to the Emperor. He cannot fathom that those things would be out of his control. Absolutely hilarious.
It's honestly really fantastic. He just... has a fundamentally skewed perception of what he can instinctually do. His reference frame is tilted and covered in gold
@gatordragon6140 Yes and that's why the last priest failed to explain it. The emperor has had this mindset for tens of thousands of years in a body that while immensely powerful was still fundamentally human. We start getting stubborn by 30.

I’ve got a feeling that Tzeentch messed with the dice for the sole purpose of making Magnus as miserable as possible, messing with the Emperor’s rolls was just some extra fun.
The Emperor does never reveal his plan so obviously. Sure Tzeentch might have fuckked up his rolls but how do you think that ultra-crit of the custodes was possible? He doesn't use his powers for minor successes that can be achieved otherwise, but when all else fails he bolsters those who fight for him with all the strength they need to overcome their enemy.
@@Yamato12345666 or it was actually ulric who blessed the rolls. the custodes really was pretty much unbeatable, a space marine alone is said to be capable of taking over an entire planet on his own if given time. so a custodes saying they are going to burn down the planet would be a huge enough threat to warrant divine intervention
@@walexdrak3561 Oh right. Even so they're still ordinary humans and are characterized as old people. So we might as well call them the old guys in the group.
Fun fact: Magnus was in fact NOT railroading them. He is letting them do what they want, and suffer the consequences. When they said he was railroading him, he got angrier and started doing kind-of railroady things though.
I mean, you're using "consequences" really loosely there to be honest. Really, Magnus was *punishing* them for doing anything that wasn't his plan. He wanted them to be characters in *his* story, he literally even says so, and whenever they didn't act out the image in his head, he would throw enemies at them way above their power level instead of just crafting something new for them to experience that would suit their desires and accommodate their play style. Magnus made a campaign for Magnus, and got mad that the players weren't playing like Magnus would. I consider that the worst kind of railroading: passive aggressive railroading.
@@InvaderKaz2008 But now you also forget the fact that the book of Fate he also used. Did the generating of the events of the game, which also showed magnus was not fully in control of the story of the campaign, but the book of fate itself that also punished them, I mean Magnus did give them many chances and recommended them many times to go back. I mean would Magnus have come up with the idea of having an Actual Custodes be an actual enemy boss. You could say they were actually fully interacting with the Warhammer Fantasy World directly due to magnus.

The Provost Marshal was right though, if he didn't want the guy to die, he shouldn't have given him stats. He could have given them an easy job like giving them jobs as Sewer Jacks, or clearing out creatures from an infested celler.

In addition to making them keep track of the weight of everything they pick up they need to get a way to store it. A backpack only holds so much. They need a cart and a mule. And a guy to take care of the mules and tend the cart. And at least one guy to guard the cart and mule and the first guy. How much does your player pay these people? Their jobs are pretty dangerous. I doubt they will do it for free. What about room and board and rations for traveling? How much space are they leaving for food for the mule? It can't just eat grass, it would take all day for it to eat enough grass to keep itself healthy. And it needs to spend most of the day hauling the cart, not eating grass. And what contacts do they have to sell these items? Can they get partial value from a merchant or are they just selling them for the scrap value? How much do they have to pay for taxes? Does a tax assessor come to them or are they expected to have an accountant figure all of that out? Do they need a license to salvage scrap from battlefields or ruins? If they don't have that license then what they are doing could be considered brigandry or pillaging. Make them do all of the work to figure this stuff out. And they have to do it on their own time outside of the game. And they aren't going to make very much money unless they ramp the scale way up. I like bookkeeping.

The fact that magnus’ campaign just turned out to be a murder hobo carnival like all of ours proves that the Primarchs are yet human (thanks for all the likes and comments!)
Just like him having the best intentions when warning the Emps he had the best intentions here (a real story, well thoughout characters with a backstory), but just like he only knew part of using the warp he only knows part of the game (his part) and because of his ignorance both situations got derailed. Magnus definitely was wrong, even with the best intentions.
In his defense, they forced him into dm, killed the character he a long time writing in a quick and stupid way, and taunted him for trying to avoid their likely deaths
Yeah, no. I'm all for players expression and forging your own oath, but a group of players that go off the path for absolutely no reason isn't fair to the DM. In the same way a DM is expected not to railroad, players need to remain respectful of the adventure the DM has prepared to run. You can't agree to play in a Curse if Strahd game, roll up into Barovia, and then look your DM in the face as you say "Waterdeep is quite nice this time of year." The DM is a player too, and has to far more prep work with more stress than anyone else at the table. If they're running a sandbox game, then go nuts. But Magnus honestly only does things wrong when he starts making the world punish the players for his own feelings, and with how badly he's treated by the players, I don't blame him at all.
@@PANCAKEMINEZZ If they want to try to figure out the hopeless task of getting to Waterdeep from the Demiplane of dread then they are more than welcome. I can just say “your spell does not work” for about half of all teleportation and divination spells.
@@manel_moura A right and saintly order, for the Emperor deserves no less than utterly perfect grammar. Sadly, they were largely wiped out due to vicious infighting in the "Oxfordian Heresy" when they were murdering each other over whether or not it was proper to use a comma after the penultimate item in a list of three or more.
It makes no sense to me. The goal of the GM is to make the experience as fun as possible, not to win the fights. Winning for the GM should be having successfully crafted an interesting experience. One of the early fights in my mini-campaign involved hordes of skeletons that would keep crawling out of this pit and falling from crevices in the ceiling. They were so weak they could hardly damage the player, and the player could basically kill several at a time. They were meant to possibly slow the player down and weaken them slightly, as they leapt from pillar to pillar across this pit. (They could use their whip to swing across parts, this was an Indiana Jones style single person mini-campaign) Then they'd fight to skeletal minotaurs, which again shouldn't have killed the players, but were a bit more of a challenge. The goal was to make the players feel strong, as if they were an experienced adventurer. But it also meant to cause them to decide if they needed to rest or not, because depending how much time they spent navigating this temple, events in town would be more difficult. There was basically a Pandora's Box kind of thing that was going to start spawning monsters in town while they were in the temple looking for clues on how to close the box. I let the players be any class they wanted, and I ran through it twice. My cousin was a Ranger, and he was insta-killing skeletons left and right, though he did take a few hits and almost fell into the pit. My brother on the otherhand was a Warlock, and when he did it he just teleported across the pit, bypassing the entire thing, going straight to the minotaurs. However his spell usage still made him have to decide if he wanted to rest or not.
I think I understand now why Magnus was so bitter about the outcome of the game. Magnar Buckethead was Magnus' character. He wanted to play, not be the GM. That's why he gave him stats and a week-long backstory. He wanted to take part in the story by proxy and having him killed in such a ridiculous way angered Magnus from that point onwards. Also, I think the name "Magnar" is pointing to this interpretation pretty clearly, wouldn't you agree?
I really like this theory WFRP fans might say "But then why didn't he have any fate points? Humans always starts with Fate Points!" Maybe, even though that's absolutely far fetched, maybe he made his Magnar character a Mutant, predisposed to turn to chaos
@@sonarchy5158 That would be amazingly on point, since Magnus himself is kind of a mutant predisposed to Chaos corruption. It matches his life perfectly. Great observation there, friend!
Yeh pretty much. Also his death was ridiculous, painful, ridiculously painful and full of shit. Literally. Like literally choking on shit before being incinerated. And not the quick kind of incineration either, the kind where you’re alive enough to be cooked into your armour as that dung clogging your airway superheats with the rest of you while you gurgle in agony.

This episode teachers us a very valuable lession: Being "That Guy" has been and will always be completely dependent on the group and context. Nearly everyone in this group except the halfing, judge, and knight were all typical "That Guys" that would be rightfully thrown out of any normal group. But this was not a normal group, this was a group composed of That Guys, who despite being more annoying that a sack of skaven on warp-meth, all had fun and enjoyed the game together. Meanwhile Magnus, who under any normal circumstances would've been an acceptable (if somewhat railroady) GM, was thus made into the That Guy of the group due to his inability as the GM to adapt to tone of his party (and even then, he wasn't that bad, considering he gave them just about every chance he could and played the rules mostly straight). Remember, you're only That Guy if you bother and annoy the group. Don't be That Guy, learn your group, and either have fun with them or find another group that fits your tastes so that nobody is forced to be That Guy. Except the Emperor. He really was That Guy even in the group's context. Mostly because he's That Guy of this universe.
As a person kinda new to DND and confused by how good of a DM Magnus was you put this into a nice perspective and I definitely agree with this. I could definitely see the stereotypes in the characters though
Well said. The most basic rule of GMing - NO scenario survives contact with the Player Characters. Steer them south and they'll go north. Plan for them to go travelling and they'll decide to stay home. Give them a map that shows the way out of the dungeon - they''ll burn the map and try to dig their way out with the spoons from their messkits.

"I WISH TO CHARGE WITH THE AID OF THE SLICK TRAIL OF OIL CREATED BY MY FALLEN COMRADE!" This sounds like something that actually occurred in a tabletop campaign.
It happened once in a DND game. The DM was so shocked by my decision to use the oil trail (it was created because someone that was a drug dealer masquerading as an oil merchant.), that they didn’t even have me roll for initiative. They were so impressed by my cleverness but very shocked nonetheless

_"Nothing is more enjoyable than the overseeing of development and the distribution of resources to the infrastructure of an urban environment."_ *Well said, it's always fun to see a city develop from a humble township.*
Let's take a moment to appreciate just what we are watching here: a 50,000 year old god-like being, 2 demigods, 2 ultra supersoldiers, the space Pope, a random shmuck, and 3 stereotypical old guys are playing a tabletop traditional roleplaying game. Which quickly derails to the extreme. Does anyone else find this image to be beyond awesome? Like something we wish we could witness in real life?
That would require several hundred thousand years, humanity's degeneracy into a hyper-militaristic xenophobic empire, and said 50,000 year old godlike entity being a thing. The downsides aren't worth the end result, honestly.
Elijah Jarman and usually in RPGs you could be the worst idiotic person who accidentally kills themselves with their weapons but people will still be like, “MY GOD THERE GOES THE HERO OF AGES!” Unless it’s Pokémon because then you could have beaten all the gyms, the elite four, and have six gods in your party, but some snot nosed kid with a Ratata will always be like, “THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BEAT ME!”
Honestly, the only bad thing Magnus did while GMing is getting pissed off. Letting the dice drive the story, even if you don't like it, letting players naturally die and making something for them even when they piss you off, making a combat encounter that's nigh impossible through direct combat, and even explicitly saying what you desire to help everyone get on the same page are all decent decisions.
@@doncoyote68 I feel like most GMs would start to get a tad annoyed when the party starts the game by killing the first main contact NPC, kill (and skin) the owner of a cart instead of hiding in his vehicle, and otherwise keep going off of whatever loose structure he had thought of to follow next (not to mention having an edgelord and a murder hobo in the party, which is almost always gets old fast). Granted, some of the things going off-script were the result of luck or quick thinking (such as the knight killing the first ogre as well as the Gorger Lord, or the Shaman Queen’s deception about a portal to another world), but others were simply the result of “roleplaying” or players doing whatever tf they want, regardless of whether it inconvenienced the GM or what consequences it might bring. Don’t forget that the GM wants to have fun too, and if the players constantly trample over everything he does (even though Magnus did allow them to get away with quite a bit, if they could roll well), it ain’t fun for him.
@@jordinagel1184 In general, when the gruop just wants to destroy the roleplay, well, where to go? Overall the party was still constructive enough, though. It's not like they did that shit on purpose, it was mostly just bad luck with roles. They didn't try to kill the NPC, it's pretty much the GMs fault to push it that way. But if you really got a group that is just destroying it, well, what shall you do? Have to switch to them being hunted down as crazy murderers. Even worse when they kill each other. Had someone in a group once, who just createad a psychopath who instantly murdered the character of another player over nothing. That's just dumb and destructive for the game, which was over anyway at this point.

Toomey I do that in any game that let's you name your character, for example in outer worlds because you play a space faring rough out to battle an evil dictatorship, I decided to name my character Han Solo, I was waffling between that and Luke skywalker and as much as I would have loved introducing myself as one of the greatest heroes Han Solo fit the setting much better
Gotta say, I expected Waamudes to be the disgusting troll player. Seeing him pour his heart and greasy soul into this roleplay really made me love him even more... and he was already one of my favorite characters.

can somebody just do a cut out movie from every "roleplay scene" and make it it's own story?
*YES*
It happens almost 4 years, are you still laughing?
Fun fact: Magnus was in fact NOT railroading them. He is letting them do what they want, and suffer the consequences. When they said he was railroading him, he got angrier and started doing kind-of railroady things though.
So a self-fulfilling prophecy then?
To be fair, he was also operating on an imperfect understanding of the rules of the game
I mean, you're using "consequences" really loosely there to be honest. Really, Magnus was *punishing* them for doing anything that wasn't his plan.
He wanted them to be characters in *his* story, he literally even says so, and whenever they didn't act out the image in his head, he would throw enemies at them way above their power level instead of just crafting something new for them to experience that would suit their desires and accommodate their play style.
Magnus made a campaign for Magnus, and got mad that the players weren't playing like Magnus would. I consider that the worst kind of railroading: passive aggressive railroading.
Well, to be truly fair, he didn't wanted to GM, it was imposed on him by the others. He just wanted to play.
@@InvaderKaz2008 But now you also forget the fact that the book of Fate he also used. Did the generating of the events of the game, which also showed magnus was not fully in control of the story of the campaign, but the book of fate itself that also punished them, I mean Magnus did give them many chances and recommended them many times to go back.

In addition to making them keep track of the weight of everything they pick up they need to get a way to store it. A backpack only holds so much. They need a cart and a mule. And a guy to take care of the mules and tend the cart. And at least one guy to guard the cart and mule and the first guy.
How much does your player pay these people? Their jobs are pretty dangerous. I doubt they will do it for free.
What about room and board and rations for traveling? How much space are they leaving for food for the mule? It can't just eat grass, it would take all day for it to eat enough grass to keep itself healthy. And it needs to spend most of the day hauling the cart, not eating grass.
And what contacts do they have to sell these items? Can they get partial value from a merchant or are they just selling them for the scrap value?
How much do they have to pay for taxes? Does a tax assessor come to them or are they expected to have an accountant figure all of that out? Do they need a license to salvage scrap from battlefields or ruins? If they don't have that license then what they are doing could be considered brigandry or pillaging.
Make them do all of the work to figure this stuff out. And they have to do it on their own time outside of the game. And they aren't going to make very much money unless they ramp the scale way up.

Yeah, no. I'm all for players expression and forging your own oath, but a group of players that go off the path for absolutely no reason isn't fair to the DM. In the same way a DM is expected not to railroad, players need to remain respectful of the adventure the DM has prepared to run.

Sadly, they were largely wiped out due to vicious infighting in the "Oxfordian Heresy" when they were murdering each other over whether or not it was proper to use a comma after the penultimate item in a list of three or more.
It makes no sense to me.
The goal of the GM is to make the experience as fun as possible, not to win the fights.
Winning for the GM should be having successfully crafted an interesting experience.
One of the early fights in my mini-campaign involved hordes of skeletons that would keep crawling out of this pit and falling from crevices in the ceiling.
They were so weak they could hardly damage the player, and the player could basically kill several at a time.
They were meant to possibly slow the player down and weaken them slightly, as they leapt from pillar to pillar across this pit. (They could use their whip to swing across parts, this was an Indiana Jones style single person mini-campaign) Then they'd fight to skeletal minotaurs, which again shouldn't have killed the players, but were a bit more of a challenge.
The goal was to make the players feel strong, as if they were an experienced adventurer. But it also meant to cause them to decide if they needed to rest or not, because depending how much time they spent navigating this temple, events in town would be more difficult. There was basically a Pandora's Box kind of thing that was going to start spawning monsters in town while they were in the temple looking for clues on how to close the box.
I let the players be any class they wanted, and I ran through it twice. My cousin was a Ranger, and he was insta-killing skeletons left and right, though he did take a few hits and almost fell into the pit.
My brother on the otherhand was a Warlock, and when he did it he just teleported across the pit, bypassing the entire thing, going straight to the minotaurs. However his spell usage still made him have to decide if he wanted to rest or not.

Well he was a railroading bastard!
I think he's losing his sanity faster than he was with Draco. XD
This episode teachers us a very valuable lession: Being "That Guy" has been and will always be completely dependent on the group and context.
Nearly everyone in this group except the halfing, judge, and knight were all typical "That Guys" that would be rightfully thrown out of any normal group. But this was not a normal group, this was a group composed of That Guys, who despite being more annoying that a sack of skaven on warp-meth, all had fun and enjoyed the game together. Meanwhile Magnus, who under any normal circumstances would've been an acceptable (if somewhat railroady) GM, was thus made into the That Guy of the group due to his inability as the GM to adapt to tone of his party (and even then, he wasn't that bad, considering he gave them just about every chance he could and played the rules mostly straight).
Remember, you're only That Guy if you bother and annoy the group. Don't be That Guy, learn your group, and either have fun with them or find another group that fits your tastes so that nobody is forced to be That Guy.
Except the Emperor. He really was That Guy even in the group's context. Mostly because he's That Guy of this universe.
Wise words... Very wise.
As a person kinda new to DND and confused by how good of a DM Magnus was you put this into a nice perspective and I definitely agree with this.
I could definitely see the stereotypes in the characters though
Well said. The most basic rule of GMing - NO scenario survives contact with the Player Characters. Steer them south and they'll go north. Plan for them to go travelling and they'll decide to stay home. Give them a map that shows the way out of the dungeon - they''ll burn the map and try to dig their way out with the spoons from their messkits.
The halfing was that lucky guy. And the judge was the rule lawyer guy. Idk what the knight is supposed to be, but bretonnian knights bully peasants(normals)

It happened once in a DND game. The DM was so shocked by my decision to use the oil trail (it was created because someone that was a drug dealer masquerading as an oil merchant.), that they didn’t even have me roll for initiative. They were so impressed by my cleverness but very shocked nonetheless
AND SLAP HIS MIGHTY ASS
One of the first rules of TTRPGs, any and every action, no matter how ridiculous, specific or illogical, has been attempted at least once. If it has not, someone somewhere is currently thinking about it.
Tzeench's revenge for the loss of Magnus's soul was letting everyone but the Anathema roll so well
Watch it again. Big E starts off by rolling crazy high numbers then, around the time he probably realised you need to roll low in WFRP, he starts to roll low numbers. Totally fudging his rolls.
Actually no. He can't fudge rolls because of the magic book Magnus has. He tried sometimes thought.
The question is. Was this just a convoluded scheme by tzeentch to have the Emepror kill one of his own servants?

Honestly, the only bad thing Magnus did while GMing is getting pissed off. Letting the dice drive the story, even if you don't like it, letting players naturally die and making something for them even when they piss you off, making a combat encounter that's nigh impossible through direct combat, and even explicitly saying what you desire to help everyone get on the same page are all decent decisions.
There's definitely worse gms out there, though I wouldn't want to play with a pissy gm for more than a one shot.
@@doncoyote68 I feel like most GMs would start to get a tad annoyed when the party starts the game by killing the first main contact NPC, kill (and skin) the owner of a cart instead of hiding in his vehicle, and otherwise keep going off of whatever loose structure he had thought of to follow next (not to mention having an edgelord and a murder hobo in the party, which is almost always gets old fast). Granted, some of the things going off-script were the result of luck or quick thinking (such as the knight killing the first ogre as well as the Gorger Lord, or the Shaman Queen’s deception about a portal to another world), but others were simply the result of “roleplaying” or players doing whatever tf they want, regardless of whether it inconvenienced the GM or what consequences it might bring. Don’t forget that the GM wants to have fun too, and if the players constantly trample over everything he does (even though Magnus did allow them to get away with quite a bit, if they could roll well), it ain’t fun for him.
@@jordinagel1184 In general, when the gruop just wants to destroy the roleplay, well, where to go?
Overall the party was still constructive enough, though. It's not like they did that shit on purpose, it was mostly just bad luck with roles. They didn't try to kill the NPC, it's pretty much the GMs fault to push it that way.
But if you really got a group that is just destroying it, well, what shall you do? Have to switch to them being hunted down as crazy murderers.
Even worse when they kill each other. Had someone in a group once, who just createad a psychopath who instantly murdered the character of another player over nothing. That's just dumb and destructive for the game, which was over anyway at this point.

"my characters name is like rolf, and his a guy" yep totally sums up my character making ability
Wierd thing is I was playing DND yesterday.
I named a character Rolf once, based upon the old Pool of Radiance CRPG. Rolf was the “city tour guide” of Phlan, and in the tabletop game we were playing my character was actually from the city we were playing in, and no one else was. The city’s official language was quite German-like. So Rolf just fit.
Brian Duncan I knew a guy once called Rolf, he was the son of a shepherd
Toomey I named my character in stardew valley Rolf because there was a character named Rolf in one of my favourite childhood cartoons and he was a farmer
Toomey I do that in any game that let's you name your character, for example in outer worlds because you play a space faring rough out to battle an evil dictatorship, I decided to name my character Han Solo, I was waffling between that and Luke skywalker and as much as I would have loved introducing myself as one of the greatest heroes Han Solo fit the setting much better
Gotta say, I expected Waamudes to be the disgusting troll player.
Seeing him pour his heart and greasy soul into this roleplay really made me love him even more... and he was already one of my favorite characters.
That was probably his 'real' personality before the Emperor got crippled. According to the canon, not only the custodes shed their wargear, they also losing some sanity too.
