    You begin to wonder where two of your teammates when; last you heard, they were going in to deal with some stupid farmer
    You see a building on flames where your missing teammates are barely crawling out of it, ready to make an early meeting with their malevolent god.
    But that’s not the worst of it…
    Suddenly, you see what you think is a person, engulfed in flames, both arms missing, running at you with the rage a barbarian could only hope to dream of. You have no idea whether to run, hide, scream, or try to kill it.
    In the end, you do all four.”

    The fact that Farmer Joe kept coming even after they tore his arms off and set him on fire made me think he had to either been that furious at his family’s death that he ignored the pain completely, or he was secretly some kind of vessel of a karma god, or a secret descendant of a legendary hero. Like, damn. He’s probably going to come back in a later campaign where that OP and his friends are playing the evil party, and he’s probably going to be decked up in paladin armour, and have fourth wall breaking knowledge, literally that enraged over his family’s deaths that he continues to remember them, even when he shouldn’t.

    In a game I played in once, we had "The Chosen One." We came across a group of mook villains in a dungeon, like a bunch of 1-3 hit kill kinds of enemies. The encounter was pretty standard and not all that memorable, except that one of the mooks just flat out refused to die. He took one hit from one of us, which took his health almost down to zero, and then after that we just... couldn't hit him. The party finished killing every other enemy in the room and then there were like 6 of us standing in a circle completely surrounding The Chosen One at close range, all attacking with advantage. (We used a hex grid.) This was early on in the campaign and we were all relatively new to the game, so it hadn't really clicked until this moment that somehow we ended up with a party of all melee fighters, which stayed that way until my rogue multiclassed into bard much later, and our barbarian also picked up some spells by multiclassing into either paladin or cleric shortly after. Even with all of us attacking with advantage, not a single attack landed, and the whole time he was just slowly whittling away at us. My poor squishy rogue actually had to retreat to avoid dying.
    This went on for several full rounds.
    At one point, it finally clicked that someone, ANYONE, in our party just needed to hit him ONCE, and he would be dead. We had been stuck on this "easy" encounter for over an hour at this point, so we decided that we would all just roll at the same time to see if any of our dice would choose mercy before The Chosen One's next turn, instead of going through initiative like normal. Every one of our dice landed on a nat 1. I'm not even joking, one of the other players even referred to all of the 1s as a forest of... "eggplants." Our DM, who was amazing by the way, laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe or speak for several minutes. We actually joked that the DM must have somehow swapped all of our dice out for weighted ones, because even before that moment, there had been an unusual amount of nat 1s that night, and there were several more that followed. This went on for a few more attempts with similar results, I don't think anyone ever rolled higher than a 7, and more of our characters were brought to the point of near-death. There was a genuine fear at that point that we were seriously about to be TPKed in a 6 on 1 fight against a 2-hit mook. At one point, our party's "that guy," who needed to look cool in every given circumstance, started throwing a fit over how it shouldn't be this hard to kill one mook. We kept going for a while, but eventually the DM got annoyed with that guy and just ruled that eventually one of us managed to finish off The Chosen One. I'm still disappointed that encounter didn't really have a legitimate conclusion and I think a lot of us suspected that we would see The Chosen One again, one day, and we lived in fear from that night onward.
    In the very next session, the first roll of the night was a nat 1 and we all just had a moment of horrified flashbacks of the previous session, but our rolls finally returned to normal after that.

    In the campaign I am running, a farmer had put in a request for adventurers to help his farm after it became overrun with misfortune, particularly with the well becoming tainted with brimstone and the animals around the farm being twisted into demonic animals. The party went and helped, discovering that there was an altar to the goddess of misfortune, and the farmer's wife whom was actually an "evil" druid who had been laying lo for many years had pissed off this deity.
    After some finagling, they convinced the druid to offer one of her surviving children to the goddess as a sacrifice, surrendering the child to the river beneath the farm. The druid then fled, taking her only surviving son with her, leaving the farmer now entirely alone with a severe distaste for gods, one in particular. I've been pondering on bringing him back into the campaign, for plot purposes, given the way things went with the party. (They were the ones who convinced his wife to sacrifice the child and thus exile herself again) I am thinking that depending on how things go, he may eventually become an antagonist for the party to deal with, or an occasional ally or enemy depending on situations. It's a fun story.

      You could sort of do both: have the farmer pose as an ally for a while, but turn out to be an antagonist later. Like, he's only luring the party into a false sense of security so he can take his revenge when the time is right. But he might reconsider if the party is truly remoreseful and tries to make things right again. I mean, that could be a whole mini-storyline. Next time they return to the town, some random townsperson they've met before could come up to the party and tell them the farmer has been asking about them.

They firmly but still somewhat gently punts the little ball of fur of the roof... .. . This was a solid mistake, because the gods of dice and favor likes cats. So the cat comes back with a vengeance. Slicing the heel of the ninja. Normally this would not be much of an issue. But the little critter.. well.. crits... and with a well placed claw tore the Achilles tendon in two.... The ninja then proceeds to fall of the roof and on the landing breaks many other vital things.

    Second group sounds like even with a newer GM, they are all accepting and helpful, going with his ideas which will produce some awesome content for them in the future. Plus, essentially using your epilogue as a thank you/appreciation letter to your DM is the most heartwarming thing ever.

    As an old WoD-Player I know this Type.
    "True Believer" Feat and maybe some Hunter Skills do this - or a sudden Awakening.
    Regardless of the Class (you normally shouldn't have it when beeing a WoD-Class), "True Beleiver" basically gives you in certain circumstances an infinitive Amount of Willpower - which you can use for Rerolls, Autosucesses and such.
    Also, having then the right Character Traits and not picked a Class (Werewolf, Monster Hunter, Vampire etc.) you basically, in D&D-Terms, gain 2 Luckpoints when spending one while True Beleiver removes the limitations of how much Points you can spend for a Roll when having no other Powers and only be a mere Human.
    That Way, you can only perform Actions according to your Traits and your Belief, but this you "autocrit" everything.
    You also become immune to mostly all Status effects or are able to ignore them as long as the Fight ensues - including Death by any other means than total overkill (aka "severe Damage").
    The only Way to defeat this Type is to back off, let his Trait run out and A) come back and "loose" often enough to wear him out, or B) come back later and assasinate/kill/corrupt him without triggering his "True Believer"-Feat. And, if you manage to Trigger that one to go on a Vendetta - you are mostly fucked. Because, now the "True Believer"-Effect does not run out and you have to demoralize him first - which is pretty hard due his Believes are literally unshakable.
    Sure he is "just a Human", but when your Wolfie looses his Tribe due Silverpoisoning and your Vanp is suddenly known for be a "Plague Carrier" and thus shunned and hunted by all other Clans, the Mage gets somehow always ratted out to the Technocracy (think all Conspicacys beeing true in one major Club) who seeks him dead.... well, unpleasant is not the right term anymore.
    This Guy then becomes a beacon of Hope in a gritty, spiteful World - the one true Hero opposing the Darkest Powers, inspiring others to do so. He is now the Atagonist of the - commonly - evil Group. And, Evil has a hard Time defeating the Good. Have fun suffering.
    I bet thats what GM was aiming for.

We had gone out to do different tasks for the night and while he was waiting to get picked up by our in-game driver, he tried to steal an old lady's purse. Bad idea. He failed to wrestle the purse away from this elderly woman, who proceeded to BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM with just her purse (probably filled with buckles), leaving him with about 4 or 5 levels of Lethal damage, 2 of which were from a Critical Hit from the woman's first swing with her purse after winning top of initiative, by the end of it before he was able to knock the old woman out (he missed all of his attacks until the last one, because of very low rolls) and run away.

      Maybe buckles...maybe pennies...maybe a bag full of butterscotch candies.

    this is giving me hilarious ideas for making a completely optional boss that is a cricket or a cat or some other generally more harmless creature that is a secretly godlevel powerful boss. you wont know its there or that its a boss until you actively try to engage with it. you wont know its power until its too late. and its hilarious.

    Glory Stories, about friends and family dedicated to making things fun for each other! This is a wonderful reminder of what gaming can be at it's best, and why we keep doing it despite periodically running into That Player, with their DMPCs or other horrors.

    I've been a forever DM for about 16 years now. My players have all tried their hand at DMing, but none of them really get into it. As a result, they're all kind and appreciative of my world building for the most part. It's nice having players saying stuff like "that was a really good session" and asking when we can play again. That wish at the end, that's crazy. I teared up a little bit at that.
    Of course there is an implication that this new world is all just a dream in the mind of a bard, sleeping on the side of a hill, is both very intriguing and terrifying. Imagine your entire existence just being a dream.

    Imagine if the campaign continued and farmer Joe came back as a ducking chosen hero to try to stop the four horsemen due to his extremely magnificent deed of taking down two chaos demigods.
    Also that second story was great, great amount of heartwarming and I wish there was more.

    Narratively a very good epilogue for a Bard, as well. A wish out in the ether, to make the creation of new worlds and adventures and *stories* all the easier. I love that.
