... I'm hearing this now after having read this story several times, and I just now realized that Shoggy and Tommy Troll-Fucker were two stories from the same party.
this is true of the author, who uses the name when telling his other stories, including The All Guardsmen Party, that game was run by the same DM as the Shoggy story.
Grand Admiral Thrawn seeing as you like magic using classes by mentioning that spell mishap, you aren't That Guy. That Guy punished my sorcerer because he was the only magic user in the party. They hated magic enough to work in a "punishment list" similar to the Wild Magic mechanics. He had "Summon Tarrasque" and "Caster Tarrasque Polymorph" on that list...
Reminds me of the first game my current group ran. Our party came across a wolf pup and our Ranger convinced it to come with us, later on she managed to convince two adult wolves to come with us as well, and they all became permenant companions, though a running joke was my 3 int half-orc barbarian trying to eat them. They assisted us in combat, controlled by the Ranger. Sometimes, she'd try and have them intimidate enemies, but the adult wolves always seemed the fail these checks. However, the wolf pup almost always seemed to get a crit on intimidation rolls, so our DM would talk about how the pup would growl cutely and the group of goblins would run away screaming.
My dm let me tame a guard drake early in the campaign, and my character became an idiot druid so most conversation between the goblin and Garuda drake ended with the guard drake winning due to the higher intellect
i beg you to read ALL these stories! litterally just had a good cry about Oohgie, and now im beeing given a smile from Shoggy! p.s. that guy deserved a little worse than the spikes.
Oh no no no no no.... Paladins who are convinced one of their own just had a celestial steed nicked from him would not "tail" they would "bash the sad sacks of shit responsible for said theft's head in"
@@DwarfyDoodad At nine I started growing gills and swimming in the sea, and soon I'll know the wonders of the sunken city. The Deep Ones, the Deep Ones! Tentacles!
@@AmaryInkawult Sometimes, those are the best kinds of personal challenges... sure, it can be hard, but NPCs can sometimes be the best members of the party.
Thank-you for these stories, especially the "Shoggy" ones, I've not laugh so much in a long time. I used to play AD&D, rotating through three DMs in our group (approx 1.5 yrs ea & repeat).
@@rumbleroller2154 Considering he is that guy... probably something along the lines of, "I'm gonna do something that is a chaotic asshole because that's what my character would do."

After spending the Casting Time tracing magical pathways within a precious gemstone, you touch a huge or smaller beast or plant. The target must have either no Intelligence score or an Intelligence of 3 or less. The target gains an Intelligence of 10. The target also gains the ability to speak one language you know. If the target is a plant, it gains the ability to move its limbs, roots, vines, creepers, and so forth, and it gains Senses similar to a human's. Your DM chooses Statistics appropriate for the awakened plant, such as the Statistics for the Awakened Shrub or the Awakened Tree. The awakened beast or plant is Charmed by you for 30 days or until you and your companions do anything harmful to it. When the Charmed condition ends, the awakened creature chooses whether to remain friendly to you, based on how you treated it while it was Charmed.
That hinges on Shogggy being the proper type. Given that Awaken only works on Beasts and Plants, I would guess that the experiments, and the fact they considered him a "War Shoggoth" at the outset made him an "Outsider" regardless of his initial type at start. Also the fact that Shoggy could shape shift into what sounds like literally anything, the DM probably had DM Fiat that the players couldn't munchkin him into a BS Munchkin Killing Machine
Not all that unlikely - considering he mentioned that he turned into a _Devastation Spider_ at one point which, as I just looked up, HAS A CR OF FORTY ONE! That makes a Tarrasque with its measly CR of 20 look downright cuddly in comparison! Seriously, those things are nuts O_O https : // www . dandwiki . com / wiki / SRD:Devastation_Spider
@@entropyzero5588 you mention the CR but did you see the organization of them? Solitary OR PAIRS OF 2 TO 5 this means that they are even more dangerous.
I just realized that this video is from the same campaign as the one with Tommy Trollfucker, who's character later become Twitch in The All Guardsmen Party.
Wait, seriously? Twitch started off as this nincompoop? Twitch? As in the member of the group who is debatably the most competent in a dangerous situation, _always_ prepared and whose actions have saved the party time and time again? That Twitch? Bloody hell, his player improved beyond description.
This sounds like a good teacher. We need more teachers like this. Story reminds me of my own school days back in the stone ages when each classroom had 1 computer, and we were allowed to sit at it only at the lunch break in accordance to a schedule to play Svea Rike. Only way not to be forced out into the rain (School had a strict "Nobody inside the building during breaks" policy, despite the weather, with this being the only exeption since it "taught history")
My favorite npc ro run: hamhock the polymorphing chaos beast. He mainly stayed in the for of a pig, but could change into different animals and monsters. My players used him in the end of a Rise of Tiamat campaign by asking him to turn into a powerful monster to help defeat the risen Tiamat... he got a nat 100 on my custom creature list and became a tarrasque... best. Campaign. Ever.
Also that whole unicorn to demon war 😮😮😮. Dragon king shoggy demands more kibble. Now shoggy show us on the doll where the bad man touched you. Now Shoggy show us on this doll were the real bad man touched you before magic happened.
Cloak and Dagger I can totally relate to your motivation troubles and just want to let you know that while my life was hard the last few months your vids of the guardsmen party made this time so much more bearable. My deepest thank you.
Ok, there is SO going to be a Shoggy in my next D&D campaign. I don't suppose you have a copy of the charts your DM used to determine the shapes he took?
ultris07 personal tales is basically just the patron tales now from what I assume. Personal tales is just stories he wanted to outside AGP. could be wrong but that's what I assume it is
What is it about D&D that invites edge lord garbage people to subject others to their horrorshow personalities? The "I fuck the elf." guy needs irl to be taken behind the nearest woodshed and given a sound personality readjustment with a nice size fire log.
It's a commonly used phrase in tabletop communities to refer to a problem-player of some kind. They might be a dick, they might be making people uncomfortable, they might be a min-maxer sucking the fun out of the game for everyone else, usually some combination of the three.
This is not the PETA I know of. They would've killed the Unicorn...
Was it not your sin trapped the Unicorn?
Even now, the evil seed of what you've done *germinates* within you.
So a street thug, a kobold rouge, a sad clown, and a wyrm level green dragon, form a party...
Don't forget a Blacksmith Ogre.
Don't forget a Crazy Old Man with a Gnome Fetish.
Do they end up killing every god?
And a couch surfing hobo bard
Just missing Vomer.
Good doggos never die.

Tommy played Twitch in the AGP, from what I've been told.

Hell yeah ❤🐕❤
Your DM deserves insane props for all of this
Its probably a good thing I wasn't the DM because I would find a way to make the Dog turn into a Turasq
Grand Admiral Thrawn ... by the blood of our living god, what is *wrong* with you?
Grady Jean the suffering of others, esspecially dieties sustains me and restores my youthful vitality

What is a guard drake?
So your guard drake had a tamed PC goblin?

Please, carry on with the Shoggy stories.
Shoggy sounds like a fun time
Sounds like a fun time but damn his situation will put your responsibility and patience to the test.

Shoggy lvl 8 good boye

Meh, he's okay but... *Shoggy morphs into a fennec* WHO'S A GOOD BOY!
Lvl 99 good boi that’s his real level

Ever thought to cast Awaken on Shoggy?
I am not that much aware of what the spells do can you tell me what exactly awaken is

Dogs are great
Until they die

Eating dogs weird
hamsters now I'm down with that
IT'S THE SELDOM DOGGO
Who's a good boi?
*beats me*
I imagined Shoggy as a Corgi
And a mastiff. And a dachshund. Sometimes an absurdly large chihuahua. And a subspecies of wolf known as Lupus Fenrir.
I always thought of him as a Scottish Deerhound
Christopher Sikes and a cat
I imagined a Scottish Terrier.
This DM is amazing, and the rolls are perfect

Shoggo is best doggo.
proto-shitstorm has got to be the best description i have ever heard.
"Tommy Troll F*@&!@" I was laughing my ass off
It always surprises me when a rare few people seem to think they can rape in d&d and somehow the rest of the table will just be cool with it...
"High Mortality Campaigns"

more shoggy
this was great :) when is the story of the all gaurdsman party going to continue?
www.theallguardsmenparty.com
If I'm not mistaken, he is caught up with the source so he's waiting.
Eventually is all I can say. I've been having some troubles lately, lots to do with motivation and time, so it's gotten hard to sit down and record.
Derek, I've got two more before I'm caught up.
cool looking forward to them these stories are always entertaining.

Oh yessssss but change it a lil like a different base animal with a dif name but i love the mechanics
Ah yes, Tommy. The Mary Sue
We once watched a mage who could make jade I ask to learn how and she gives a fucking lecture on inflation in a post apocalypse
I love shoggy
Taking a drink of my beer.
Tommy Troll-Fucker
Immediately fight not to spit beer everywhere choking and laughing
Okay, Now we need Tommy Troll-Fucker for context.
Shoggy the wonder pig. Omg that killed me.
I remember watching a video that talk about a cool bard and a transforming does anyone know what It is called
Chaotic good boy
Oh so he was a wild magic sorcerer
I see shoggy as a pitbull
The dog(?) goes bark(?)
I have a suspicion that this is the all guardsman party's dm
Lol...best story in ages.
Shane the shy
Yeah that sounds awesome do it
So I am wondering what exactly Tommy said to gain the title of Trollfucker
Now that is the subject of another story altogether.
Dos this guy have a podcast someone please tell that he dos id love to here more of the storys
Hut Gaming
Playlists
leet haxorz bit late ive listen to every story on the channel now but thanks kinda
what happened with the kings of nowhere ?
I don't think it was ever posted.
Sadly it twas never uploaded, the story ended after we learned of the fate of old man Henderson's backstory.
Would love if you could do Harry Potter and the Natural 20. It is about a lvl 20 DnD Wizard doing stupid shit in the Harry Potter universe
Shout out to Tommy Trollfucker
You have any more personal tales like the Destroying Psionics tale?
ultris07 personal tales is basically just the patron tales now from what I assume. Personal tales is just stories he wanted to outside AGP. could be wrong but that's what I assume it is
By Personal Tales I mean tales from his perspective, as in games he's been involved in, not tales or other people.
I heard that story on @Neckbeardia
