You know what funny? When Max complains about all that interspecies romance, he was disgusted by it. But it was also Said by the guy, who was trying to hit on a Succubus for most of the campaign
I'm currently playing a similar cross-over fan fiction TTRPG called Extraordinary League. It's similar to what's described in the video except you play as a pre-existing character from whatever media you like. You get wild situations like: Izuku "Deku" Midoriya wielding Guts' Dragon Slayer against Adventure Time's Lich who has possessed the body of Ouran High School's Nekozawa as they vie over the Necronomicom Ex Mortis. I can't help but love cross-over stuff like this. It gets crazy in the best possible way.
Could you provide more info on this system? I've googled it but I only get stuff from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and I'd like to try it out sometime.
@@RB94Productions It’s a hack of the Marvel Superheroes RPG. I tried earlier to give a link to a run-down of the system, but that reply was rendered invisible for some reason. Google “Smash Fiction.” It’s a podcast that ran an actual play campaign with the system. On their website, look for the section that says, “DM Screen.” There will be a run-down of the system there.
I find it hard to believe that someone actually speaks like that in 2021. It is made even more wrong in the context of a fantasy game where the players are playing different species, not even races.
Old Abraham Lincoln adage, paraphrased. "If you want to test a person's character, give them power.' Power can mean 'the ability to act without consequences for what you do'. And make belief game like Tabletop Roleplaying is something where this happens a lot. People power trip all the time and let the worst parts of themselves shine through in TRPG, whether as players or as gm's. Because it being make belief makes them think it's pure anarchy, even when they are playing in worlds that have rules of society like our own.
though he should have gotten kicked out LONG before he did,at least it happened and the DM actually did something rather than just let it happen and expect the players to deal with it.
Sounds like the kind that's annoying, but doesn't quite break rules. Or the GM just really didn't want to kick someone and tolerated him the same way the PCs did. Have the dubious honor to be on both sides of that fence in the past, all the usual signs. Except the end of course.

I need the source of this homebrewed system so that I can have the option to use it for my own cross over game since it sounds like it worked out quite well and balanced.
Despite the horror story part of their story props to that DM you not only put up with that guy but he made a interesting game idea and you gave me play a good amount of spotlight as it seems bro that polymorph idea was just amazing
You know, I realized that DnD is the place where players show their true colors. For a person like Max to be racist and misogynist, wow, that's a new low for that kind of guy.
In D&D veritas; it's amazing what people will do - for good or bad - when they don't expect rl consequences, same as some people become monsters on the internet.
Speaking of dragons and wizards "overlapping", on a podcast show for the Deathbattle/roosterteeth youtube channel there was a recuring trivia game where they asked the different revolving guests questions about things the other cast and crew knew about but they didn't. They'd ask the woman who did all their makeup star wars and star trek questions. They'd ask the middle aged and older show runners DBZ, pokemon, and Yugioh trivia. And they'd often ask one of their lead animators, who was a massive anime fan and just happened to be black, a bunch of questions about medieval European inspired fantasy stories written for and by old white British folks. One time they asked their animator if he knew about the Hogwarts Sorting Hat and to explain the sorting process. By about the 5th time the black animator said "And then the hat decides who's gonna be the next grand wizard." two of the three white guys on camera were actively panicking and begging him to stop saying "grand wizard" and the third was on his phone googling the term to show their anime fan exactly why the term "grand wizard" never shows up in the Harry Potter movies.
It's not even race-mixing, it's SPECIES mixing, and it's an integral part of the game mechanics that it happens an awful lot, or we wouldn't have options like tieflings or half-elves. Glad the trash took itself out in the end.
Don’t forget half orcs! Lol yeah I actually really enjoy the mix too. It would make sense in an actual world where there is a mix of lots of sentient humanoid species. Even in anthropology it’s noted that humans did so with other human lineages. It’s real life proof that we humans would do this even in a fantasy setting like this. And races we make up? Yeah they would probably share that trait.
@@mentalrebllion1270 Considering that those with residual Neanderthal (or Denisovan etc) DNA are known to have useful genetic traits that 'pure' humans wouldn't possess otherwise, most reasonable folk would argue that interbreeding (both within the species and with closely related hominids) is healthier and better for us overall. Same goes for the fantasy version of reality.
Agreed. Half elves, half orcs, and Tieflings, even yuan ti, are all considered some of the most strong to play and are often chosen. They always rank high in polls at least. So it makes sense to me. They are all variations on humans and are often of mixed heritage, even if that heritage isn’t directly biological.
I love the assessment of his attitude at the end. Very appropriate Spoilers next: What a garbage person. Nice that he left on his own. It's always good when trash takes itself out the the curb for you
Some Players like systems like D&D where the rolls going higher is a good thing, and they enjoy it over the long haul... Once in a while, though, there are people and dice that somehow just roll (greater tendency anyway) low... SO I keep systems like GURPS around, where the lower the roll, the better your odds of doing the thing... AND since GURPS mechanics are based on 3D6, the system is readily and easily picked up by D&D Players and Veterans, too... SO couple that with at least a supplement for ANYTHING (quite literally) to be added into a Game, Setting, or World... and you have a wonderful way to "break up the monotony" without having a lot of extra work on anybody's part for getting along in whatever new game you create... The only downside is a bit more "heavy lifting" left entirely up to the GM... GURPS is a Role Playing System, so not exactly a Game... just a series of resources for MAKING the Game... Yet, any decent GM should have no trouble running through the "Basic Set" and putting together a fine Homebrew to cover all the required bases and bring it to the Table... I've been using GURPS 3e (revised) as THE base book for gaming for years when called upon to break up a monotony of D&D Campaigning, one-shots, and misadventure... ;o)
Half-orc, half-elf, tiefling, aasimar, halfling, goliath, half-dragons, dragon-blood Sorcerers, etc... DnD intrinsically has SEVERAL mixed races. Why would you play if that was a trigger for you?
@@nekoali2 There's also been a sharp increase in fake reports about this kind of stuff. Seems bigotry is always in short supply when measured up to the demand.
@@dwarfrunes9072 isn't it fortuitous that the people drawing attention to this rising problem are also able to provide the solution, at the low cost of having to give them large sums of money and wide authority to censor and dehumanize.

I love the story about the ten-year-old player whose charter was a Pokemon trainer, in D&D, and managed to capture a dragon. Nat 20's, man. Gotta love 'em. And then, the DM forgot about what the kid had in his little ball, until he brings it out to fight the BBEG, and DM's all like "Oh, crap! I did not prepare for this!"
I once had a similar idea for a homebrew game, which allowed build/class/archetypes from all kinds of media. Some Powerful But Stupid Spellcaster accidentally shattered reality in an attempt to blend all the planes into one overarching hellscape, and "heroes" from all over ended up dropped through rifts, trying to fix the world plane-by-plane. I told my brother about it, and he correctly called me on it just being an excuse to drop a party into Ixalan and have them chased around by giant, possibly armored, occasionally magical, dinosaurs.
I think they already created a game where you can play pretty much anything you want its called Rifts. this sounded very similar to that but with the attempt at making it also DnD
You unintentionally cheeky Duck. You made me think for a second that he was casting force lighting, thinking you just reversed the animation by honest mistake, only to realize he was deflecting said attack. Great work on this ATD!!!
I'm just glad this had a happy ending and the racist asshole didn't do any lasting damage to the group. People like him aren't worth letting under your skin.
(What a coincidence, I thought it would be cool to play a game like this in a den of the dragon vid just the other day lol) I like these kinda crossover games like it sounds so surreal. Captain America, Hellboy, Korra, and a jedi knight have to stop a the reverse santa claus from destroying a world
My system for getting people who have really bad luck with dice rolls: give the characters a limited ability to add +1D6 to dice rolls ... so they can use it when it'd come in clutch 3:02 Dragon Ball Saiyan who can't destroy planets, eh? Sure, that's about Goku's level, during his childhood years. 6:19 As this PC was based on the Star Wars films, does anyone have a *video* of a Jedi catching a lightning bolt with their hand, redirecting it, then exploding the enemy who launched it?
Interspecies issues? What the hell is wrong with this guy? We had a whole place ruled by a tiefling queen married to a human king who wielded zero power or influence. He liked it too. He was a trophy husband who just needed to show for important stuff once in a while. He spent a chunk of time partying with my barbarian and our bard(our wizard swore off after the first time when he didn't handle his drink too well). Hell my village was an alliance of goliaths and halflings. We just didn't intermarry because, well do the math. The logistics are a little rough either way.
I wonder what the homebrew system was like? I wouldn’t mind playing in a similar type of setting where a Jedi, a pre-war ghoul, an LotR elf, and Ronin Warrior can team up and fight evil.
This kind of makes me want to run an Itachi Uchiha encounter. Maybe some sort of magic item that summons the scariest foe the characters can imagine to fight against, and it just always summons Itachi lol.
........ holy cow. That turned MUCH uglier than I thought it would, but at least his wildly racist outburst solved the problem by removing his bitch ass. I don’t know about everyone else, but considering where I live I’d be happy just to be able to play. Especially an amazing homebrew like the one in the story. But nobody ever accused racists of being intelligent.
This story makes me want to homebrew a campaign set at one of the other magic schools of Rowling's world, or a campaign set in 990 when Hogwarts was founded.
Am I the only one who found it ironic Max called them 'race traitors' when an orc and Jedi (assuming Jedi is an alien in terms of them being from space and not native to her planet) when Max spent the entire time hitting on a SUCCUBUS?!?!
The way the homebrew system was described, you could almost describe it as something akin to GURPS. Just an example of how wild THAT system is, I made a character that was, and I’m not joking, a giant ameba that used a hollowed out shop manikin as a “body suit” and could spend its health to fire projectiles made of its mater. I called him Bob.
Dead in the first 2 hours of a 4 hour first session? Wow his dm is a jerk. When I’m dming, if a player is a having supremely bad luck and just can’t get a break, instead of just letting them die, I start fudging rolls to give that player some slack and not die. A heroic death or a deserved one for doing something super dumb, let the dice fall as they may and accept the results. One character in particular is rolling single digits only and quickly approaching death against some trash peons? Yeah maybe they decide to target someone else and start rolling a bit lower against that person. It’s not a very fun game if someone is just getting killed with no fighting chance and would have to just watch for hours... very inconsiderate. Pull your punches a little, dms!

@@GreenKnight343 Yeah in my book that isn't really possible because as Yoda in Episode V once step down the dark path forever will it dominate your destiny. If you could be a Grey Jedi characters like Dooku and Revan who initially left the Order for noble reasons but became Sith wouldn't exist.
I need the source of this homebrewed system so that I can have the option to use it for my own cross over game since it sounds like it worked out quite well and balanced.
Right!
OP put one in the pinned comment.
@@emberfist8347 thanks for the info! It wasn't there when the video dropped
Despite the horror story part of their story props to that DM you not only put up with that guy but he made a interesting game idea and you gave me play a good amount of spotlight as it seems bro that polymorph idea was just amazing
You know, I realized that DnD is the place where players show their true colors. For a person like Max to be racist and misogynist, wow, that's a new low for that kind of guy.
In D&D veritas; it's amazing what people will do - for good or bad - when they don't expect rl consequences, same as some people become monsters on the internet.
10:09 is the best sentence said in this story, I _adore_ how you say 'bitch'!
I'm Freddy Krueger, and I approve this bitch.
“Dragons and wizards overlap.” That was clever, sir.
Max seems to have been also the type of player who would harm the party (directly or indirectly) "because their alignment dictates them to do so"
Wait a minute, what
Max also cursed our crops, and feasts on the blood of children in the night.
WOAH! Is that monster in the thumbnail a hook horror? It looks like gigan mixed with a skeksis! I dig it! YIRBEL LIVES! Mmmmmax is quite the ass wow..
Nope, that's a Blitz from DMC4. So, basically, imbue a hook horror with the ability to turn into a living lightning bolt.
@@Samagryn oh rad!
Who's Yirbel?
@@Samagryn yipes!
Highlighting the oldest of codes, "don't be an asshole".
Really curious if that system is still written up somewhere..
Speaking of dragons and wizards "overlapping", on a podcast show for the Deathbattle/roosterteeth youtube channel there was a recuring trivia game where they asked the different revolving guests questions about things the other cast and crew knew about but they didn't.
They'd ask the woman who did all their makeup star wars and star trek questions.
They'd ask the middle aged and older show runners DBZ, pokemon, and Yugioh trivia.
And they'd often ask one of their lead animators, who was a massive anime fan and just happened to be black, a bunch of questions about medieval European inspired fantasy stories written for and by old white British folks. One time they asked their animator if he knew about the Hogwarts Sorting Hat and to explain the sorting process. By about the 5th time the black animator said "And then the hat decides who's gonna be the next grand wizard." two of the three white guys on camera were actively panicking and begging him to stop saying "grand wizard" and the third was on his phone googling the term to show their anime fan exactly why the term "grand wizard" never shows up in the Harry Potter movies.
If feel like the “hit the thing until it dies” critique is weird cause he can fight any way he wants to, even if it is basic
Going off of his reaction to that Polymorph, Mark was purposefully not using their character's abilities
Exactly but racists aren't very creative
I got to say though, I really like the thumbnail for this picture.
It's not even race-mixing, it's SPECIES mixing, and it's an integral part of the game mechanics that it happens an awful lot, or we wouldn't have options like tieflings or half-elves.
Glad the trash took itself out in the end.
Don’t forget half orcs! Lol yeah I actually really enjoy the mix too. It would make sense in an actual world where there is a mix of lots of sentient humanoid species. Even in anthropology it’s noted that humans did so with other human lineages. It’s real life proof that we humans would do this even in a fantasy setting like this. And races we make up? Yeah they would probably share that trait.
@@mentalrebllion1270 Considering that those with residual Neanderthal (or Denisovan etc) DNA are known to have useful genetic traits that 'pure' humans wouldn't possess otherwise, most reasonable folk would argue that interbreeding (both within the species and with closely related hominids) is healthier and better for us overall.
Same goes for the fantasy version of reality.
Agreed. Half elves, half orcs, and Tieflings, even yuan ti, are all considered some of the most strong to play and are often chosen. They always rank high in polls at least. So it makes sense to me. They are all variations on humans and are often of mixed heritage, even if that heritage isn’t directly biological.
I'm just glad someone remembers Asura's Wrath.
I love the assessment of his attitude at the end. Very appropriate
Spoilers next:
What a garbage person. Nice that he left on his own. It's always good when trash takes itself out the the curb for you
Ohhh, I love the idea of the idea of this system. It sounds like something that would be right up my alley!
Some Players like systems like D&D where the rolls going higher is a good thing, and they enjoy it over the long haul...
Once in a while, though, there are people and dice that somehow just roll (greater tendency anyway) low... SO I keep systems like GURPS around, where the lower the roll, the better your odds of doing the thing...
AND since GURPS mechanics are based on 3D6, the system is readily and easily picked up by D&D Players and Veterans, too... SO couple that with at least a supplement for ANYTHING (quite literally) to be added into a Game, Setting, or World... and you have a wonderful way to "break up the monotony" without having a lot of extra work on anybody's part for getting along in whatever new game you create...
The only downside is a bit more "heavy lifting" left entirely up to the GM... GURPS is a Role Playing System, so not exactly a Game... just a series of resources for MAKING the Game... Yet, any decent GM should have no trouble running through the "Basic Set" and putting together a fine Homebrew to cover all the required bases and bring it to the Table... I've been using GURPS 3e (revised) as THE base book for gaming for years when called upon to break up a monotony of D&D Campaigning, one-shots, and misadventure... ;o)
Is there a copy of this setup? I would love to run this.
Right!
This sounds a lot like the FATE system to me, maybe look into that?
Half-orc, half-elf, tiefling, aasimar, halfling, goliath, half-dragons, dragon-blood Sorcerers, etc... DnD intrinsically has SEVERAL mixed races. Why would you play if that was a trigger for you?
Are you surprised with how many of the same category as Max are in the Star Wars and Star Trek fandom?
Really sounds like that guy didn't read the room when the group was put together.
This story seems a little well timed with everything going on now days.
Everything that's 'going on now days' when it comes to bigotry has always been going on. People are just more willing to speak up and to listen now.
@@nekoali2 There's also been a sharp increase in fake reports about this kind of stuff. Seems bigotry is always in short supply when measured up to the demand.
@@cristiancojocaru9821 The new saying: if there are no problems to talk about, you have to create problem.
@@dwarfrunes9072 isn't it fortuitous that the people drawing attention to this rising problem are also able to provide the solution, at the low cost of having to give them large sums of money and wide authority to censor and dehumanize.
@@cristiancojocaru9821 Yes it is fascinating. The thing is that peppol magnify the problem and say money is the solution (in order to decive people into giving them money). Also the people that is trying to warn the others about the fraud is dehumanie and smear.
,,Overlap whit dragons and wizards."
That took a second to sink in.
I miss title as: “How a racist misogynist almost ruined a really cool Hebrew Campaign”
Me: Really, how were they surprised? Then I saw my mistake
Wowza... sounds like this "Max" person has some big, unresolved issues. That's a disgusting way to act throughout the story!
I sincerely hope they've grown past that behaviour since this incident... spending your days stuck in a mindset like that sounds awful :(
Sadly most of these people like Max Never get out of it, sometimes they do and they are a better person for it but most of the time they refuse to see the other side and stay with what they believe.
@@superphantom100 and those that do get out of it still feel the wariness of other colors people no really it’s hard to get that out of your system when you were told to be this In your entire life
@@ryanlozano9086 yeah I can see that
This is a homebrew that I would love to play in, the idea and mechanics are really unique and well balanced.
I would totally play as a Pokemon trainer! Would love to RP as both a trainer and all my team.
I love the story about the ten-year-old player whose charter was a Pokemon trainer, in D&D, and managed to capture a dragon. Nat 20's, man. Gotta love 'em.
And then, the DM forgot about what the kid had in his little ball, until he brings it out to fight the BBEG, and DM's all like "Oh, crap! I did not prepare for this!"
@@AuntLoopy123 that's so cool
I would be a Transformer
This campaign and system sounds so amazing
Ima be honest i wuld have kicked him out the second i heard "they have a much bigger part to play then the rest of the group"
I once had a similar idea for a homebrew game, which allowed build/class/archetypes from all kinds of media.
Some Powerful But Stupid Spellcaster accidentally shattered reality in an attempt to blend all the planes into one overarching hellscape, and "heroes" from all over ended up dropped through rifts, trying to fix the world plane-by-plane.
I told my brother about it, and he correctly called me on it just being an excuse to drop a party into Ixalan and have them chased around by giant, possibly armored, occasionally magical, dinosaurs.
I think they already created a game where you can play pretty much anything you want its called Rifts. this sounded very similar to that but with the attempt at making it also DnD
You unintentionally cheeky Duck. You made me think for a second that he was casting force lighting, thinking you just reversed the animation by honest mistake, only to realize he was deflecting said attack. Great work on this ATD!!!
The dragons and wizar- oh, I understand now.
This homebrew sounds awesome!
"Luck doesn't pick a side." Yes it does. It's the opposite side of wherever Will Wheaton is.
I'm just glad this had a happy ending and the racist asshole didn't do any lasting damage to the group. People like him aren't worth letting under your skin.
Did they ever publish this system?
I've been wanting to run a game but have been struggling with figuring out most of the popular systems
The polymorph must have been based on the Red Dwarf series, I loved that show.
(What a coincidence, I thought it would be cool to play a game like this in a den of the dragon vid just the other day lol) I like these kinda crossover games like it sounds so surreal. Captain America, Hellboy, Korra, and a jedi knight have to stop a the reverse santa claus from destroying a world
It feels like he is talking about the GURPs system.
Because of the dragon and wizard crossover 🤣🤣🤣
My system for getting people who have really bad luck with dice rolls: give the characters a limited ability to add +1D6 to dice rolls ... so they can use it when it'd come in clutch
3:02 Dragon Ball Saiyan who can't destroy planets, eh? Sure, that's about Goku's level, during his childhood years.
6:19 As this PC was based on the Star Wars films, does anyone have a *video* of a Jedi catching a lightning bolt with their hand, redirecting it, then exploding the enemy who launched it?
I've been brewing up a home brew myself
If Max was a technomancer, why was he getting off from a succubus? A toaster would make more sense lmao
A BLITZ? oh you poor souls.
10:09 Epic Quote Moment, for all who are interested.
I’d love to see the system they came up with and run a campaign
Your know who does have high ground over everybody? The Jedi
The lion, the witch comment literally slayed me.
Interspecies issues? What the hell is wrong with this guy? We had a whole place ruled by a tiefling queen married to a human king who wielded zero power or influence. He liked it too. He was a trophy husband who just needed to show for important stuff once in a while. He spent a chunk of time partying with my barbarian and our bard(our wizard swore off after the first time when he didn't handle his drink too well). Hell my village was an alliance of goliaths and halflings. We just didn't intermarry because, well do the math. The logistics are a little rough either way.
I would have loved to try out this system to make just about anything. It is so hard in base dnd to make a cryomancer.
I wonder what the homebrew system was like? I wouldn’t mind playing in a similar type of setting where a Jedi, a pre-war ghoul, an LotR elf, and Ronin Warrior can team up and fight evil.
OP has a pinned comment on this video. The thread below it has a link to the system for anyone to use.
4:52 And they’re playing α Jedi, they know the high ground!
Imagine un-ironically being racist in a roleplaying game with multiple races in it.
You’d be surprised 🤨
This kind of makes me want to run an Itachi Uchiha encounter. Maybe some sort of magic item that summons the scariest foe the characters can imagine to fight against, and it just always summons Itachi lol.
........ holy cow. That turned MUCH uglier than I thought it would, but at least his wildly racist outburst solved the problem by removing his bitch ass. I don’t know about everyone else, but considering where I live I’d be happy just to be able to play. Especially an amazing homebrew like the one in the story. But nobody ever accused racists of being intelligent.
So... how do we get to learn this system because it sounds dope AF
I'm so lucky I DM for my very best friends and have never had to deal with things like this.
This story makes me want to homebrew a campaign set at one of the other magic schools of Rowling's world, or a campaign set in 990 when Hogwarts was founded.
Am I the only one who found it ironic Max called them 'race traitors' when an orc and Jedi (assuming Jedi is an alien in terms of them being from space and not native to her planet) when Max spent the entire time hitting on a SUCCUBUS?!?!
Hypocrisy is a tent pole of racism
I would have loved to play a campaign like this one...and probably gotten an assault charge for smacking Max. Win/win.
Ok so "the lion, the witch and the audacity of THIS BITCH" that brought me to tears lol great writing OP
Oh cool, the name actually makes sense.
Yeah, was surprised too.
@@SamWeltzin there’s been a few that they’ve made that just felt click-baity or overblown
@@flyingturret208thecannon5 Oh yeah. I've seen several. S'why I was surprised this one actually fit.
@@SamWeltzin a fellow comrade who has been paying attention as well, good!
I want to try that magical polymorph, making the party fight copies of themselves, thing sometime. That is a genius idea.
The way the homebrew system was described, you could almost describe it as something akin to GURPS. Just an example of how wild THAT system is, I made a character that was, and I’m not joking, a giant ameba that used a hollowed out shop manikin as a “body suit” and could spend its health to fire projectiles made of its mater.
I called him Bob.
Hey can we get that system you guys were using? I want to try it.
It sounds like FATE to me, but I could be wrong
"The Lion, The Witch, and the audacity of this BITCH!" I'm going to use this omg😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣💀
I think it's weird how he kept flirting with that succubus since her irl is dating someone else and it's weird and gross
A really amazing story , home brew campaigns can be so awesome
So mortal Kombat except you're not in a tournament you're fighting evildoers pretty baller they ask me.
Dead in the first 2 hours of a 4 hour first session? Wow his dm is a jerk. When I’m dming, if a player is a having supremely bad luck and just can’t get a break, instead of just letting them die, I start fudging rolls to give that player some slack and not die. A heroic death or a deserved one for doing something super dumb, let the dice fall as they may and accept the results. One character in particular is rolling single digits only and quickly approaching death against some trash peons? Yeah maybe they decide to target someone else and start rolling a bit lower against that person. It’s not a very fun game if someone is just getting killed with no fighting chance and would have to just watch for hours... very inconsiderate. Pull your punches a little, dms!
