Ambrosia Software Web Board: I like dice - Ambrosia Software Web Board

DnD is actually pretty fun. But I have a feeling it has a lot to do with the Dungeon Master.

The dungeon master is like a parent. Seen by many to be there to ruin your fun, but if you get a good one, they can make the adventure a thousands times more enjoyable, and give you laughs a plenty!

Yay for giant spiders attacking in the middle of the night!

Hehe, random night encounters are funny when for some reason the entire party almost dies for some freakish reason or another. Ah, acid slime monsters...

I must say I don't like my current DM too much. He ends sessions early and has only actually DMed once in five weeks (the other times we ended up playing other games, which can be fun since there's a lot of really interesting board games out there, but I show up to play D&D).

We had a 'non good' campaign once. 3 of us Neutral, one evil. It was the evil guys watch one night. DM rolls a RE, turns out to be a Lvl 5 Paladin (we were 3 at this point). Paladin walks up to the guy, detects evil. Demands that he's going to take him to his city, dead or alive.

"Dude, wake us up!"
"No no, it's fine. I challenge him to a one on one duel!"

So he accepts, and a lvl 5 paladin takes on a level 3 wizard in a duel. It, fairly unsurprisingly, turns the paladin's way. We're awake, watching, but of course because he declared one on one duel, we couldn't help. He decides to cheat, because he's about to die, so starts summoning and getting his familiar involved. The paladin says, two can play at that game, and his war house gets in on the action.

The wizard was complaining of the paladin cheating as he was getting beaten in to a pulp buy a sword and a warhorse's foot. The DM's argument was simply:

"You cheated first"

Good times.

Someday I'd like to play a non-good campaign, but people so far haven't been all that interested in starting one. But hey, that's what chaotic neutral is for, eh?

I've spent so much time and money just getting a campaign and characters and all the bullcrap ready to play d&d and then I realize I have nobody to play with.

No other emo kids in the area, huh? Sucks man.

I just died inside.

From laughter?

My picture was funnier...

Mine was more depressing.
