The guy deserves a medal. Dude got invited to a game, wasn't what he was expecting but stayed either way. Beats 2 murderhobos and stays to see things through. Is judged for liking D&D and has to deal with a "no fun allowed" DM and still sticks to the end. Bro deserves bards to sing his praises
OP really should have just left when he saw he was playing with preteens. He was basically being asked to babysit and that wasn’t communicated clearly to him
Yeah that seems like it was the situation. The parents wanted to hang out and let someone else keep the kids busy. It’s sad they still found a way to pay attention enough to mock the guy though.
Yeah, I feel like between just random board games it wouldn't be strange for a lot of households to be able to throw together 10 dice. Most of them might be d6s, but there is still plenty of games that use a variety of die!
The parents are creeps on multiple levels. I would have left 100% when they judge me for bringing some dice... Probably would've left when I realized the dude lied to me and wanted me to entertain his gross creepy kids.
The guy that invited him is definitely kind of weird for how he handled it. I definitely would of left too when I found out I was a babysitter basically
Tbh, I’m ashamed to admit that I purely got into it because of Stranger Things. I had one session, realised it’s not like Stranger Things, and then loved it so much that I’ve been playing for ages.
I’m about 7 or so years older than one of my tables I play at. I know this because the dm immediately introduced himself as being a teen and let me know when he recruited that all but his brother, who was my age roughly, were also teens. Honestly it was a very enjoyable game and still is. The teen dm is quite talented, if a bit rough around the edges regarding calling out his players for misbehavior (but that is what my and his brother are for, to help back him up). It’s basically a reformed murderhobo group now but everyone is having fun and those that left managed to save their friendship with dm (they were starting to drive him crazy enough with their murderhobo antics that he was starting to feel resentment). Basically it’s a good game. I’m glad I stayed despite the red flags these started out as. We actually recruited several more players and both are female players which seems to have only helped temper the group and now everyone is actively roleplaying these days, even the barbarian which is pretty nice because this is his first ever dnd game/campaign ever and, according to the dm and his brother, the barbarian is like the living trope of a jock outside dnd which the irony of is not lost on me. It’s a pretty nice table. We do actually have homework help times too so it feels more like a mentorship too. I’m still glad to joined and I look forward to seeing these players grow. I can only hope they enjoy this time they have which is limited since some are only a few years off or less from college.
Props to the guy for staying cause after a little bit I would have just left. The dad inviting a man in his 20’s to come play with his kids is fine (nothing wrong with adults and kids playing a game together.), the creepy part is not telling him that he’s playing with kids. The monks not being religious is odd. I’m guessing the DM doesn’t actually know what a monk is, it’s not a big deal and not something I would have left over, but definitely something I would point out to them. The parents judging I when I would have left. Like you invited me over to play with your kids, why are you judging me for being into the game that you wanted me to come over and play with them? Also why are you standing there just watching? If it’s cause you have a 20 something year old man that you don’t know too well playing with your kids, well Mom, you can blame your husband for that for inviting me in the first place. I was expecting to call our child abandonment or something with the parents leaving their kids with OP, but that didn’t happen. Like I don’t play DND, and I don’t know the ins and outs of the game but from watching different creators on this platform I know enough about the game. So why is someone brings a few pairs of dice that surprising? I’m guessing the parents don’t know anything about the game. To put the dice thing into perspective, normal house holds have a few pairs of dice usually. My family specifically has more than most probably. I have a collection of dice from when I used to play Pokémon that we don’t use cause those dice are really small. We also have a game called Here To Slay and it only needs a pair of dice per player but we like matching the dice colours to our party leaders do we got some more colourful dice. So the parents shaming OP for having a few pairs of dice for being into his hobby is pretty normal for most people who take any sort of interest to to games that need dice
The guy dming is way too full of himself. He obviously rarely plays with serious players, or ones his age. And thinks being made dm is a mighty boon to his personal character. That's someone you don't want to play with.
That’s a bit harsh, those parents clearly didn’t know what DnD was. Plus the kids didn’t stop him from actually playing, they didn’t freak out when their characters died.
I will say the kids were good sports about the PvP. They lost by the rolls and didn’t cause a fit. They were beginners likely and their murderhobo actions was them probably just playing D&D like it’s a video game.
@Scatmanseth im sorry are you under the impression that I continued to let my blood boil? No I left off tat the last remarks I mentioned but cintroll freak dms and active haters are not welcome when I play It is not "a bit harsh" to stand up for yourself you do not owe kindness to those who would see you harmed and talking shit us definitely being harmful. If you elect to shame people for playing a game made for all ages but specifically adults is a total no-go from me. Ci grants your comment has Made me sure I will not be sharing my stories by being-anti d&d.
@lootgoblinmarketplace I'm not talking about the players I'm talking about the controll freak dm and the katen parents, I did not finish the video and couldn't be enticed to, idc how cool the kids are I will not let myself be attacked by Karen's,.sorry not sorry don't anticipate I post any of my d&d stores as I offered on my other comment you've made it clear community input is not welcome I wasn't talking about the kids all that happened here is my opinion was attacked because unrelated info was provided, not gunna happen sorry Ho ahead and delete all my comments I'm sorry for trying to interact
Lol reminds me of when i was playing god of war for the ps 4 and one of my older brothers frinds walks in and say your still playing this kids games. As im tapping the x button to rip someone's face off. But i really liked how well this guy handled this
Given that the dad saw this college graduate aged guy as "close enough" in age to his ten year old son I have to diagnose him with terminal boomer brain and suspect that the DM was a "friend of the family" who got guilted into doing this, probably through one of his family members volunteering him.
@@lootgoblinmarketplace well… I was in a campaign with a white dragonborn named Bloody Murder. That name pretty much tells you his entire personality. Our first session, we met an old man on the road, but the conversation rapidly devolved into Bloody Murder vs our barbarian (the most experienced player) as Bloody Murder attempted to kill the old man. Eventually, he got past the barbarian and was promptly knocked out by the old man. We stuffed him in a wagon and continued on. The next session, we got to the tavern where adventurers hang out and look for jobs. Bloody Murder decided to drink as much beer as he could in a minute and passed out. The bartender dragged him into the back so he wouldn’t leave before paying. Well, BM didn’t have money to pay the bartender, and since we didn’t want to get stuck with the bill, the rest of the party skedaddled off on a job. My character gets a bad feeling about leaving him alone (not for *his* safety, though) and returns to the bar to find that BM has attacked the bartender with his fists (and not his breath weapon for some reason??) and barely succeeded on death saves. So I and a buddy bring him back to the group, tied to a stick like a roast pig. Most of the party wasn’t there the next session, so those who were didn’t do the main quest. Instead, I and the aforementioned buddy (both artificers) bought the cheapest inn room we could find (as BM was banned from the other inn) and engineered the best locks we could think of. Once we finished the quest, we let BM out, and he promptly went to the bar he had just been banned from and used an illusion spell to make it look like it was on fire. He then tried to climb onto the roof and failed pretty miserably. Well, he comes with us on the next quest, with the understanding that if he doesn’t do something to hurt anyone other than himself, we won’t hurt him (much as we were sick of BM’s shenanigans.) Honestly, only the barbarian was against killing BM, but he was pretty much the leader, so we chilled out. BM, however, did not. After several shenanigans with illusion spells (including stabbing my character with an illusory knife) we decided to get rid of him. We were on a ship, and didn’t want to endanger the crew or ourselves by trying something too big, but I DID have two bags of holding (because artificer). So, after realizing that it wouldn’t destroy the ship, I convinced BM to put one bag inside another. And to be clear, he was all for going to another plane (though I doubt he knew anything about the Astral Plane in particular). Just like that, we beat the true BBEG.
@@lootgoblinmarketplace to clarify: we were all new players, and as this campaign was run by a public library, we couldn’t really kick BM. Most of this was in good fun, and it’s become an inside joke since. The DM was ok with the shenanigans (he’s a big believer in letting players have the natural consequences for their actions). BM’s player didn’t bear any ill will towards us, as even he realized it had gone too far, and we’re still all on good terms almost a year later.
"Monks aren't a religious class" Sounds so funny to me. The word monk literally means "a member of a religious community of men" I understand what is meant by the statement but it's just a funny thing to point out imo.
I should really write out my stories for you, we have had some extreme exploits like donating the value of an entire town to a church before realizing the shock they were expressing was because i was a half celestial son of Torm in a trmple to Torm and not because i wasnt giving enough Or that time my characters mocked a dude to death without magic Or that time i started a cult and got excommunicated from the church... the Holy Roman Catholic Church... this happened in real life but the cult also was a d&d club Or that time my brother donated half of his characters wealth to the church of olimandara before realizing that it was a priest using sending and not olimandara speaking to him, telling him to tithe I had one character snap a dragons neck by falling from the edge of space Or that time i blew up a gelatinous cube with some simple chemestry Or my character that became the gnomish god of beauty by grinding preformances and puting every cent into buffing his charisma to the point that one day he was just playing a gig and garl glittergold shows up and is like congrats you got a job One of the only issues is mu characters are all RAW bur broken as hell and people would mock me for it and i cant handle criticism of my characters since irs how i cope with my ADHD and ASD
I will die on this hill, that a cartoon weapon like the gods skin pealer from elden ring would be very cool. As long as you can fully see part of both sides
Late, but... What do you mean, "not a religious class"? Commoner isnt a religious "class" either, is nobody in this world religious but paladins and clerics? :D
DnD: You can play as anyone you want!
That DM: It’s illegal for monks to be religious in this world.
Yeah, a monk being religious is what I see played more times then not.
One of the most insipid takes I've ever seen. Monks are highly religious/spiritual in reality. XD

@@johngleeman8347I was gonna say the same. Irl monks are very religious and the whole thing is that they are devoted to their faith and became a monk. Similar to a Nun in some sense of choosing your faith over another life style. So seeing that “they can’t be religious” was very confusing to me
The guy deserves a medal. Dude got invited to a game, wasn't what he was expecting but stayed either way. Beats 2 murderhobos and stays to see things through. Is judged for liking D&D and has to deal with a "no fun allowed" DM and still sticks to the end. Bro deserves bards to sing his praises

"You have ten dice bro?"
*Me, looking at my dice case with like 20 dice sets knowing it's NOTHING, compared to other friends of mine*

Tbh, I’m ashamed to admit that I purely got into it because of Stranger Things. I had one session, realised it’s not like Stranger Things, and then loved it so much that I’ve been playing for ages.
@@Thompas212When or how you got into it doesn’t really matter. Gatekeeping is weird and pointless.

Why did they even invite him he’s like double the kids ages
I thought it would be to get a free babysitter but the parents were there so I’m confused too.
@@lootgoblinmarketplace you can still have childcare without leaving the house, it’s just a way so you don’t have to pay attention to them
@@TheZMageI guess but they where paying enough attention to notice the guy pull out some dice

I still pity this poor player to this day. He was a champ either way.
Yeah he took it like a champ!
I'm waaay too unreasonable to be put into that position. there was like 50 points in which he could've just left. that's CRAZY
The guy dming is way too full of himself. He obviously rarely plays with serious players, or ones his age. And thinks being made dm is a mighty boon to his personal character. That's someone you don't want to play with.

A monk can't be a religious class really doesn't make sense
I'm three minutes in and its so hard to continue watching this I just feel so bad.
fantastic as always, i look forward to the next one ;p
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
