What is the purpose? What’s the goal of the game?

Then my next character was a vengeance paladin who was a Bretonnian Knight Errant who had this grand plan of reconquering Mousillon and ruling it.

Having a good time, basically.

Oh.

Mine was

>make our way down through a ridiculous dungeon

>yes it is
>DM had figured we'd load up on stuff and leave

>"what?"

>rest of the party leaving FUBAR'd scenario at max speed
>fails roll
>stalagmite hits ground next to dragon, wakes it up
>"I want to drop down off the ceiling with both my swords and stab it in the head"
>fails roll
>drops 200 feet and splatters on the floor

That sounds about right.

We escaped because I faked out an escape in a different direction and the DM generously fiat'd the dragon's intelligence down to brainlet level. His brother didn't understand why he had died until we told him how large a cave would have to be to fit a full grown dragon in it, and that his lv2 favoured soul was not built to survive a 200ft drop

I've only utterly ruined a plan once before and it was entirely in-character

Have you ever just started a story without rules and seen where it’s gone?

On my own, yes

In a group, I try not to. It goes to shit pretty fast

It can be pretty funny too.

Sure, but it also has to be the understanding that it's for shits and giggles

Some people take their LARPing a little too seriously but

It’s what got me out of board games tbh

Yeah. I guess so. I’ve never seriously done it seriously before.

One of the fun things about that game was that we won absurd fights against really powerful enemies, like we killed large groups of beastmen on two different occasions, a horde of mercs large enough that the GM had expected us to nope out of, a vargulf that we only stood a chance against because we had a rod that could shine sunlight on it to keep it from regenerating and several necromancers.

But the fight that we lost was against a party of BDSM elf slavers that equaled our numbers.

Well, there was also that time that we ended the campaign by attacking a guy that we didn't realize was one of the most powerful characters in the lore.

But that is different.

@Deleted User you find out quickly what kind of person GM is, lol

@RoadtoDawn unfortunately, and I can’t DM for shit

The only LARPing I’ve done outside of that context is playing pretend with my daughter

They exist only for your torture and humiliation 😜

Just put me off something serious

On that note but

I seriously thought about becoming a priest once, like right in the middle of a mental crisis I was having

When I told her about it she reacted by asking whether I was gonna be “killing vampires and werewolves and zombies”

Pulled me out of that rut real quick but

Sounds like she listened to Powerwolf a little too much

You reckon I raised her right? Lmao

We had a trend for a while where we'd do Dawn of Worlds, generate a setting and then play a few sessions in it using some DnD variant. One of these times, the DM created two neighbouring races that were basically harpies and goblins. The goblins were turbo imperialists. National pride turned up to 11. Rule Britannia blowing out the speakers type shit. The harpies are being colonized out the ass and have started to resist. We find a resistance group and my character, a loyal subject of the goblin monarchy, hurries back to gather reinforcements while the rest of the party stays to investigate

I see why y’all would want to do an SJW version of the game. It would probably be hilarious

They end up getting captured, and start a dialogue with the resistance leaders. Slowly over the next hour or so they work out a deal with the movement, vowing to bridge the gap between the two peoples and ensure the preservation of their culture
[Dvorak's New World Symphony intensifies]
Unbeknownst to these plucky diplomats, an airship full of loyal soldiers is floating towards the abandoned mine the resistance has been holing up in. At the orders of the pilot, the cabin dislodges and plunges into the mineshaft, stopping in the very room where the party is. Soldiers pour out and slaughter the resistance to a man

There would probably be more bickering about who is the most oppressed in the SJW version of it. Players would get nothing done

>Survivor Island: SJW edition.
See what group wins by surviving being stranded on a Pacific island. Rules: can’t leave island; all resources must come from island.

>groups: feminists, blacks, Muslims, lgbt, handicapable, and furries.

Will the groups work together to survive? Find out in the latest installment of PnP games. (Drugs not included)

Handicapable. Lol

Muslims will hang the LGBT and handicapable

Rape the feminists and blacks

Furries will convert
