@@Eddie42023 this is one of the McGenk Brothers, Zee's Evil Wizard dudes. This one has a Daughter who, purposefully, as an act of rebellion, became a warlock. This McGenk finds this *deeply* irritating.
I love the idea of a disgruntled evil wizard who abducts random people indiscriminately, solely for the purpose of ranting at them to vent out all their otherworldly frustrations. With the people in question having no clue what the heck they're on about. 🤣🤣🤣

What stipulations do they require to tap into their powers, bring in the newspaper and make sure the Ensure bottles are chilled? But seriously folks..."*
"And the rituals! Have you ever been to a warlock ritual? Human activity does not need that much liquid!" "I'm serious! Magic is like going to college, right? You gotta be educated. Go to a wizard's ritual...it's basically math class. It smells like chalk everywhere, maybe a little spicy, you know...and that's it! A sorcerer's ritual? It's poetry night. Lots of shouting, lots of hand motions...maybe some snapping. But a warlock--a warlock's ritual is so...juicy! "'Sacrifice this, sacrifice that. Cut open this rabbit. Submit to the Mouth of the Unpronounceable'. By the end of it, I need a shower--except that's part of the ritual too!

I sent my party to a jail full of misbehaving former gods, that is cut off from the rest of creation. So in order to cast spells, the clerics in my party do actually have to bargain with some random forgotten deity.
Honestly, this kind of mechanic is incredibly fun. I actually did something like this with a wizard player, where he had to roleplay how he was acquiring his knowledge of new spells in preparation for his next level up. He took his first few levels as a rogue so that he could play somebody who learned magic by stealing the research notes from miserly wizards who greedily hoarded their arcane knowledge.
@@TheScarvig Yeah, he took three levels in rogue before multiclassing into wizard. He wanted to play an Arcane Trickster, but be able to do more than just illusion and enchantment spells. The character he built was incredibly fun.
Kinda sounds like the cleric in 8-Bit Theater He's an atheist cause he bargains with various gods to get what he wants, and he doesn't want to play favorites.
The "WHAT'S SO 'GREAT' ABOUT THEM?!" has got me thinking about Jerry Seinfeld saying something like "wHaT's ThE dEaL wItH tHe OlD oNeS?" to a room full of fish people. Don't know why I decided to share this, but here I am.
Would you prefer it if she went through her "Celestial Patron" phase? Pretty sure Lathander would have a few things to say about your use of Animate Dead.
Don't Worry, Keevil McGenk. It's only a phase, she'll outgrow it, and it's mostly to push your buttons. I know, I have a daughter myself. If you want, we can go meet at the local tavern or inn to commiserate. Please bring along a designated zombie, as one should never drink and drive their carriage.
I thought that once, too. The thing is, you don't outgrow magical debts. You pay them off or you die. Sometimes, you don't get a choice in that matter, either.
As the old joke goes: A wizard graduated magic school because they worked hard. A sorcerer managed through sheer natural talent. A Warlock graduated because they gave the professor a handy in the supply closet.
Bard was actually competent enough to graduate with honors on their own, but they slept with the prof anyways Cleric graduated only because their dad owns the deans favorite golf club
@@DFDelta actually Clerics have to do a lot of study, almost as much as a wizard, like try remembering the whole fucking bible only this 1 isn't fiction and if you get it wrong your spells don't work.
The Great Old One Warlocks are actually very powerful, if a bit finicky. All their extended spells are either divination spells or control spells. It's one of the few classes/subclasses that get a resistance, and it's the uncommon psychic resistance. It's also one of two classs/subclasses that gets telepathy natively.
Psychic resistance isn't very applicable though. I'm not going to get into other classes, so staying within warlock you have the Undead with resistance to necrotic damage, the Fiend with a choice of what to be resistant to, the Genie with one of four resistances, the Fathomless with cold, and the Celestial with radiant. And Hexblade gets to make their cursed target miss 50% of what would normally be hits, which isn't quite as good as resistance but is far more applicable than resistance to one damage type. I will give you telepathy, though. It certainly can be good if the DM actually makes it worth anything. Though being able to communicate regardless of what language they can speak is pretty big regardless. Overall, I wouldn't call them powerful compared to the rest of the warlock subclasses. Though I would say the same for every warlock subclass (good job, WoTC), if it weren't for Hexblade existing. It's just too good for raw damage, and invocations cover most of your noncombat stuff as it is.
Ehhh. I rolled one as my first D&D character before I understood much and thank goodness my DM let me change up a few stats and choices later so I could swap to Fiend. GOW really is not that great, especially once you learn that the "telepathy" is only one-way. RAI, they can't speak back. It's a nice feature if your DM allows it, though, especially if you don't have access to species that have better telepathy features. Like Kalash-tar or Thri-kreen. Extended spell list is very meh. A resistance is great, but it's not until level 10 so your campaign is probably almost over and unless you're specifically fighting mindflayers or something with lots of psychic damage it's very likely to never come up. Entropic Ward is only once per short rest, and Create Thrall is VERY DM-dependent since it only charms the affected target, giving you some advantage on Charisma checks and not letting them attack you, but doesn't compel them to do anything. I see Great Old One Warlocks as similar to something like Horizon Walker ranger.
I just started playing a great old one warlock. Mostly because of the spells and Eldritch Blast. Dissonant whispers is great, and so is Tasha's hideous laughter. Looking forward to Phantasmal force =D
This reminds me so much of the 'guests' of overlord Zahndrekh in Warhammer 40k, human prisonners forced to share a feast table with necrons (who are basically undead egyptian robots) pretending to eat and doing politicking, with their host trying to engage his 'guests' and tell war stories while the poor bastards don't even speak the necrons' language let alone understand why that giant robot with glowing eyes is pretending to get drunk with a bottle of wine that's been empty for several million years !
I really hope that you’ll do more Mancerclasses on the different wizard school disciplines! Evocation is my favorite and it would be great to see you do that one, as well as the others!
@@RCReilly simple doesn’t mean bad. Besides, when you need an obstacle removed, be it a wall, a dragon, an army, or a pesky war crimes tribunal, there is nothing more efficient or satisfying than blowing them up with a mushroom cloud that would leave Megumin, Vegeta, or Black Mage from 8 Bit Theater jealous.
Loved this, being an angry Wizard dad is hard work. If they only understood the souls I’d collected to help them summon a forgotten god of their own. I tell you kids these days.
I can't explain the number of concepts I use in my day to day life, ideas I get on random Thursdays, and sudden rememberances of memes that come to me all because of some old Penny Arcade.
Meanwhile Druids: I just love nature soo hard it gave me magic Ranger: I dont even know what i did to get Magic, i kinda just, want Nature and Civilization to be balanced
Naw, this is one of those goth religious issues he's upset. If he was ranting about her new boyfriend, it would be some chest thumping barbarian, like ol' Cohen. I know this, as I, too, am a father of a daughter.
Goodness now I can't get out of my head the idea of a litch spending most of his time not in study but ranting to a skeleton minion about the horrible adventurers and their "slimy and squishy bits" touching all his "stuff"(traps and minions).
He definitely has Wish prepared -- Cthulhu still has to obey Mystra's rules of magic. If the DM could ignore that then we aren't playing dungeons and dragons anymore. =D
I once played a farmer, who was contacted by a maiden deity, who claimed she was wrongly imprisoned in another dimension. From that day forth, he deemed himself her champion... and would be the greatest Paladin the world had ever seen, and would free this fair maiden from her unjustly imprisonment! Unfortunately, it wasn't a maiden deity, but a Great Old One who fed on the sanity of mortals. Lyomar had inadvertently agreed to have It as his patron and become a Warlock... and gone completely and utterly insane from the meeting. Had he succeeded in freeing the "maiden", he'd have opened a portal into the dimension of the Great Old One, allowing it to slip into the material plane, offering up a whole smorgasbord of mortals to feast upon!
A party member of mine was a servant of an old god. But the old god was old more in a litteral way. Like geriatric, often forgets things. Needs priestesses like the party member to remind them what century it is again. A god of chaos not out of spite to the order of the universe. But because her cosmically large brain isn't what it used to be.
I like how the Mcgenks have been getting increasingly smaller scale in their crimes. Sometimes you just need to shrink down an orc, trap them in a box, and torture them with the agony of your mind. Nothing fancy.
I don’t know whether to blame the powers to cause visceral insanity, or a certain genre of anime on why you would want to worship maddening tentacle entities, but it’s one of the two.
I liked it! I watched it through, the first time, thought there was something there that I wasn't picking up on... watched a couple more times, and I think I got it. It's a grumpy wizard dad who's pissed because he just found out that his daughter is in a pact with a great old one. Love it, Zee! Another great one!
"Am I not great enough?? OLD enough??? "y-yes master you are quite great and old yes you have both qualities in superfluous amounts" "what did you just say to me??"
Actually yeah, what does a near immortal necromancer do when a god is created or becomes popular Like how do you explain to someone how much you hate when some disgruntled cult leader dreams up a new less cool apocalypse god?
And meanwhile Bsssjoonfghlck, her Patron is finally starting to understand what his sire Rthlkrnkjar was talking about when he said that signing Pacts with teenagers is usually far more trouble than it's worth.
I love bits in fantasy settings where people talk in the absolute simplest, least dramatic terms about what is usually revered and sacred. Because in a D&D world, all those fantastic magical or deific concepts are actually tangible, practical matters. Nonplussed, unimpressed pragmatism in fantasy is amazing.
Had a warlock that worshipped The Lord of Traps. Looks like a living castle made of arcane runes so complex you’d lose your mind trying to comprehend them, he’s actually The Trapped Lord. The cosmic equivalent of showing how silly these fuzzy handcuffs are to the other elder gods only to lose the key somewhere in the universal shag carpet. Now he’s trying to “find a worthy mind, capable of solving his greatest mystery” while not embarrassing himself by revealing he can’t remember what planet he left the arcane sigil on.
LOL I love it! If I ever get to play again, I want to make a PC that wants to revive a forgotten god, and the DM gets to choose what if any old, dead gods I find on my adventure.
Clearly, the forgotten gods of toenails and the second kind of snow were listening, and they curse him for his insolence while they chortle with wicked glee in the background. Imagine it: cursed by being buried in snow that never melts, all while his toenails grow exponentially by the hour, and Skenk comes in to see what the heck is going on, amongst this he screams "Help!" and Skenk is all..."....um....no..." as Skenk backs away from his cursed brother, lest he receive the Old Ones wrath; and the daughter, in her room, smirks in what can only be considered as ultimate victory.
This is a scene I had to cut from a future episode.
I thought it was funny. (Even though it doesn't really work in the narrative anymore)
I can confirm it was funny

I'm sure the necromancer would love yogsothoth if he got to know of the outer god.
If only it were yogsothoth, and not Boom Boom the "Great Old Forgotten God of Toenails".
"Great Old One? If they're so great, why isn't there an Old One 2?"
I don’t know whether to blame the powers to cause visceral insanity, or a certain genre of anime on why you would want to worship maddening tentacle entities, but it’s one of the two.
Words cannot express how funny I found this. 😂🎉
My daughter also went off to worship some old god and became a warlock had to remove her from the family sending
I liked it! I watched it through, the first time, thought there was something there that I wasn't picking up on... watched a couple more times, and I think I got it. It's a grumpy wizard dad who's pissed because he just found out that his daughter is in a pact with a great old one. Love it, Zee! Another great one!
I can't have enough of this videos, every one if them has character development 😂
I'll have you know that Bumbum of the second kind of snow doesn't appreciate this hostile environment for Lil Twumpy.
"If only she *worshipped* a forgotten god! Then she'd have books - scripture even! AND REAL SPELL SLOTS!"
They’re great at parties. Nobody throws bangers like entities that don’t care about your measly laws of reality.
I laughed out loud at the goblin so hard, I think I pissed myself a little
"Am I not great enough?? OLD enough???
"y-yes master you are quite great and old yes you have both qualities in superfluous amounts"
"what did you just say to me??"
this was really funny xD, id love to watch you animating fun ideas like this one
Mr. McGenk, I hate to inform you...but, it's probably the tentacles.
When you’re too boomer for these new fangled eldritch horrors.
Actually yeah, what does a near immortal necromancer do when a god is created or becomes popular
Like how do you explain to someone how much you hate when some disgruntled cult leader dreams up a new less cool apocalypse god?
Is there a team behind this channel? actually unreal animating abilities, writing and editing
I'd like to think his daughter is crying to her Dark Patron about the crap her dad says, all at the same time.
And meanwhile Bsssjoonfghlck, her Patron is finally starting to understand what his sire Rthlkrnkjar was talking about when he said that signing Pacts with teenagers is usually far more trouble than it's worth.
"At least there's _books_ involved!"
I can only imagine his reaction if papa McGenk was told his daughter was patroning a celestial, like a unicorn or something...
Well now that I've heard more about them, not a whole lot to make GOO warlocks sing mechanically. It's all in the flavor.
This is hilarious. Second kind of snow had me prone.
I love bits in fantasy settings where people talk in the absolute simplest, least dramatic terms about what is usually revered and sacred. Because in a D&D world, all those fantastic magical or deific concepts are actually tangible, practical matters. Nonplussed, unimpressed pragmatism in fantasy is amazing.
Man, this is only 50 seconds long, but I was laughing so hard 😂😂😂 thank you Zee!
Had a warlock that worshipped The Lord of Traps. Looks like a living castle made of arcane runes so complex you’d lose your mind trying to comprehend them, he’s actually The Trapped Lord. The cosmic equivalent of showing how silly these fuzzy handcuffs are to the other elder gods only to lose the key somewhere in the universal shag carpet. Now he’s trying to “find a worthy mind, capable of solving his greatest mystery” while not embarrassing himself by revealing he can’t remember what planet he left the arcane sigil on.
oh my god that is so funny. "What's so GREAT about this GREAT OLD ONE??"
This is almost exactly how I want to portray Acererak to my players. Man, I love that lich...
Poor old man, just doesnt understand.
LOL I love it! If I ever get to play again, I want to make a PC that wants to revive a forgotten god, and the DM gets to choose what if any old, dead gods I find on my adventure.
Clearly, the forgotten gods of toenails and the second kind of snow were listening, and they curse him for his insolence while they chortle with wicked glee in the background. Imagine it: cursed by being buried in snow that never melts, all while his toenails grow exponentially by the hour, and Skenk comes in to see what the heck is going on, amongst this he screams "Help!" and Skenk is all..."....um....no..." as Skenk backs away from his cursed brother, lest he receive the Old Ones wrath; and the daughter, in her room, smirks in what can only be considered as ultimate victory.
You all shall cower before the unimaginable terror that is Yn'Op'oo, the Great Forgotten God of Irregular Bowel Movement
