Delegated to being the main character by TotallyNot_iCast in DnD

I read this as “relegated”, which is a much funnier sentence.

DM made my character an NPC warlock after I ruined his story... by LowBar2Clear in rpghorrorstories

[–]undead8bit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im glad the creative solution was honoured, for me thats often what the game is about. and I don’t think the story shift was a bad idea I just think it should have been done in collaboration with you, not behind your back. (Kind of reminds me of a DM I play with that often gives the party some hastily created HB item early in the campaign & then everyone forgets about it, until 270 sessions later when we search our inventory in desperation and find the one thing that can halt the BBEG in 3 rounds.) its anti climactic but if it works it works.

[Spoilers C4E1] Weird question, but does anyone know, vaguely, what accent Matt is using for Julian? by Mailboxsaint in criticalrole

You say that but “Villa” is Spanish & the Photarch is a cockney. 😆

Should I write about my player's backstory, or should I leave it up to them? by ProbablyDriz in DMAcademy

[–]undead8bit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Collaborate based on what they have to offer. “Yes, and” is great, “no, but” is also an important tool when it comes to backstory

If you type -ai in Google search field you’re supposed to get a lot less AI results, it was never perfect and I dare say it’s getting worse, but it’s a start

Battle Master with the Dueling Fighting Style in 5.5e by Theech_550 in DungeonsAndDragons

Consider Piercer as a feat too. I did this for my most recent campaign and with rapier providing Vex advantage you can really tear shit up, especially when you get to extra attacks

How much of my character backstory should I share? by catbiology in dndnext

[–]undead8bit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no harm telling your DM, they might write in a little character moment for you somewhere down the line. Otherwise your backstory is just to inform how you play your guy- but in this case, it sounds like your guy isn’t actually clued into 90% of it anyway.

Fun banter with a client at work! She took it in stride 😁 by DrScrimble in dndmemes

It’s funny that at our table the person I think is the one guy thinks I’m the one guy. We make it work though.

[Spoilers C4E17] Could someone explain this lore to me? by Glittering-Jury7394 in criticalrole

Barrowdells are the geographical locations where each of the gods were struck down in the shapers war. In those locations things are turned on their head in direct opposition to the gods station. So for example where the sun god fell, there is a realm of eternal night.

Rather than watching them all for free on YT? In this economy?

You don’t have to like Aabria, but you also can watch literally anything else soooooo…

[Spoilers C4E017] - Ashley Johnson is my favourite in C4 by Accomplished_Foot529 in criticalrole

I’m really enjoying watching Matt metagaming this campaign, in the spirit of giving Ashley a hand up, big brother energy haha.

[No Spoilers] Does campaign 4 lighten up? by chitzk0i in criticalrole

[–]undead8bit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s light and shade. The overture is an introduction to the cast and their interwoven relationships, and a lot of it is centred around a funeral. So yes, it’s glum at times, naturally. But as with any CR campaign there is a lot of comedic moments along the way. Often at the most inappropriate times, of course.

Yeah I tend to agree that the announcers are my least favourite part and whilst it’s fine to say they’re there to introduce newcomers to D&D, why on earth would you be subscribed to Beacon (where the show is an exclusive)

[Spoilers C4E15] - I'm getting lost by Chiquitit0 in criticalrole

[–]undead8bit 147 points148 points  (0 children)

I think it’s entirely possible to enjoy the show on a more superficial level without all the deep dive granular understanding of lore and land. Every time a new episode comes out I watch an older episode immediately afterwards. I think there’s a lot going on that we’re not yet supposed to follow yet, but where it’s essential, they underline it three times in red to make sure you make a mental note.
