"High, the enemies miss. Low, I don't get hit." That's essentially what he's trying to pull.
Yep. Cheater, cheater, spider feeder!
Yeah, first time around he's saying highs he dodges, lows he misses. That's fair, as close to ten means he dodges if he's attacked, and hits if he's attacking. Reverse if it's closer to one, gets his if attacked and misses if attacking. Switching it to the reverse is just cheating. Especially him saying the 0 on a d10 is actually 0. I also saw this story before. Don't know if it was ever stated what his Blink item was, but if it's his gun, like the gun shown in the animated image being used, I'd allow for some creative use of Blink.
@@caiusdrakegaming8087 The only case it's true is when you roll 2d10 with one being multiplied by 10 before the sum
@@vukkulvar9769 Dunno how common it is, but I have a set of d10s, of which one is used solely for percentile (or a pseudo-d100 roll) and already has an extra 0 added to each face (goes from 00 to 90)
@@gryphose1849 used both 00 and 0 is still 100. And alone 00 is still 10

Get this spiders off me man
I wish I could like this a thousand times
I imagine he's just saying the last line but since he's blinking they can only hear that
Wess
How horrifying. Popping in and out of dimensions, being attacked on both sides? Such a just punishment consuming the weak!
Don't mess with the unknown or the Abyss will engulf you !
"If you be cheatin, you gon be eaten" that needs to be on a shirt
You posted twice
@@logankrohn1472 CZcams sometimes does that
Agreed
I wondered if it's only with Dragons, or if they also are tasty with ketchup?
Yes, this need to be a thing
"Conceived entirely out of punitive bitterness" has to be one of the best lines I've ever heard.
Great story.
*_Don't Blink. Blink and and you are dead._*
I'm imagining that extra "and" is because the speaker's head ticks mechanically and I'm creeped out lol.
@@NatsuDragn33I Stress stammer.
Love Sally Sparrow
*_They are fast, faster than you can imagine. Don’t look away, don’t turn your back, and don’t blink. Good luck._*
@@SkyWingFeather Oh you are both *BRILLIANT* ;)
Spiders instead of ghosts... Are these gonna be ph-
"Phase spiders"
YES!
As an Arachnophobe I can only say: Dickmove ^^
I think crit crab already did this story however so if this was posted on their subreddit it mustve been stolen
@@FreedomAndPeaceOnly Yeah, Spiders are bad enough...PHASE SPIDERS are just a 'Fucking NOPE' from me.
The cheater? Fuck him, he's Phase Spider food.
So like the Ant Man and the Wasp girl?
Gosh, I love phase spiders, but one time when my party was in Carrion Crown we got TPK by two of them to our party of level 6. Ridiculous yes, 9 our of 10 of any of our supposed to hit attacks missed, and yes the miss chance was rolled in the open, the DM didn't fudge it. And he rolled the crits all in the open. A very stupid TPK but everyone had a good laugh, despite feeling a bit bitter.
The player in question made THREE(3) clear mistakes;
1) They were CLEARLY up to Shenanigans(TM), with an INTENTIONALLY confusing phrase syntax "X I miss, Y I am missed" instead of an unambiguous 'X I miss, Y they miss'. The player clearly got some 'fun' out of the Cheat Choo-Choo, but, as soon as the GM caught them by the tail(tale?), a simple *APOLOGY* to the GM(and maybe even the other players) would have gone leagues in smoothing things over, PERHAPS even preventing the GM's eventual 'quasi-trap'.
2) The "0" on a d10 is only a "Zero" is the event of a *percentile roll* (commonly labeled d%). If you wish your d10 "0s" to mean "zero", you MUST clear this with your GM, and you must be ABSOLUTELY SURE you want to do this(nothing sucks worse than rolling "Zero" damage on a successful hit!)
3) The biggest miss of all, under the assumption the player's character was NOT under the Blink effect before initiative was rolled: The player was a 1st order n00b-scrub activating a Blink spell as soon as the enemy was identified as "Phase Spiders". This decision is what cemented a "justifiable PC homicide" for me, as the glaring display of lack of game mechanic knowledge was inexcusable.
*"If you are going to break the rules, you best know the rules backwards and forwards. And upside-down for good measure."*
If you want to cheat and munchkin, just play Munchkin.
Not to mention hiding rolls from DM and telling the DM he has to be quicker if he wants to see his rolls
We all play by the rules or cheater gets played by the rules.
I'm amazed that the d10 argument even went on that long. There's not a 10 on a d10 if there's a 0, otherwise it's a d11.
I would also like to add this guy was clearly a moron. I've never played D&D and even I know you can just stop casting spells on command. Like seriously. All the idiot had to do was turn Blink off to save his life. How the Hell did he never think of that?! (facepalm)
Despite the fact that I disagree with a DM creating an encounter of pure spite, this moron kinda got what he deserved.
I now want a T-shirt that says “If you be cheatin’, you’ll be eaten”
Basically a normal day in Australia
Jokes aside tho, they got this huge spider species that during its mating season (coincidence ?I think not) during which they entangle everything in web to the point that it looks like it snowed.
Thanasis Papazoglou I think i've seen pictures of that. I will never step foot in Australia for as long as I live.
@@dorianrobinette9712 They also got this other small spider species that is poisonus af and also likes to crawl into people shoes because they think that they make good nests . But probably if you ask the austrlians they are going to tell you there are worse things to worry about
Thanasis Papazoglou if you live in a place where that doesn't concern you, you live in hell on earth.
Side note something else that's not from Australia but is also horrifying are camel spiders. They live in the middle east and during the day sometimes you'll see them sitting right next to you and following you as you walk. They're really just chasing your shadow to stay out of the sunlight but will chase your ass down if you run to get back in your shadow. The thought is terrifying.
Wait a minute. That means...
_The fires will not be enough_
I can legit almost see the gunslinger phasing in and out, but looking like Nick Cage with the bee scene.
Except, with Spiiiideeeersssss~
Being eaten by spiders is nightmare of mine.
Ever had a nightmare in which spiders drop from the ceiling to you because i sure did fellow arachnophobiac
Spiders crawling on me is one of the worst things i can imagine...
@@firestorm165 I have heard of roaches farms in china but definatelly not spider farms XD
Ever seen The Mummy? Picture those flesh eating scarab beetles swarming that one guy, then replace that guy with me, the beetles for spiders, and that's what I saw in a vivid hallucination from prescription meds at 8 years old.
@@benjaminc924 .Well i hope at least they did their job ;p
The vanilla description he gave was enough to almost never want to see blink in use.
Could you imagine that? A body shifting in and out? Every time his skin is more gone, his intestines begin getting exposed, him begging for help, and ultimately his body just drops dead, flickering in and out, each time less and less until nothing but bone remain. No thanks.
Prophein X I know. But like I was sayin, the spiders were eating his flesh!
@@propheinx2250 imagine popping back and forth and being more liquidy each time,as your inards turn to goop until all that's left is yellow viscus remains
In the immortal words of Dr. Stuart Ashen: "A FITTING PUNISHMENT."
Is he still actively making videos? I remember watching a few of his videos several years ago, and being absolutely smitten by his dry humor.
@@michaelmccarty1327 Absolutely. Give him a look - he's still at Ashens. I mean, the man has made TWO movies now!
My experience of a cheating player: I was playing online so could not see hi rolls. However one of my PCs told me that he was suspicious of his rolls. So I got him to start writing them down every game. One game the party was attacked by a couple awaked trees. My first attack on him Nat 20 and I one shot him. His first death save. Wouldn’t you know Nat 20. Second round on him another Nat 20. I got three Nat 20’s that fight that where only on him. He was up and down like a yo-yo. He seemed to always get a Nat 20 on saves. In the end I confronted him with all the recorded stats on his rolls. After a few more sessions he left the group. It’s been much better since.
I mean, if you wish to cheat, at least do it in finess, you don't always pull 0s and 20s, and you accept to sacrifice some rolls sometimes :')
When playing online, I find it best to use online rollers so the DM can see.... using Avrae in Discord has been amazing for the server I play on. No roll can be made anywhere that a DM can't see, and since the bot pops up as the one sending the message that shows the roll, players don't have the ability to delete it before the DM gets a chance to see
The twitching of the spider 's leg is off putting to massively understate it.
I mean, spiders...
(PTSD flashbacks of being paralyzed by giant spiders in the Deep Roads of Dragon Age: Origins.)
@R3GA Rnator-- i hated the Deep Roads quest in DA:Origins. Half my party got paralyzed inside of 2 minutes, so me and Shen had to go in hacking the buggers(i was a Warrior using Sword&Board)...
One of my favorite games ever lmao.
@MALSO10 -- oh mine too! I love the entire franchise(despite the flaws) and played the snot out of all four. Just...some quests are more liked than others, you know? My favorite's of the lot always somehow involved Morrigan & her "Mother" Flemmeth....
@@johnnysizemore5797 Agreed despite the flaws the series is still my fav. Anything with Morrigan and Flemeth is automatically top tier for me lmao. I love how Morrigan tries so hard to be evil when she's just....not.
@MALSO10 -- i especially love how cannolically(?) linked they all are. Actions in one have an effect on characters in two(Anders and Alistair are obvious, but Cullen is also effected) and Inquisition is a direct lead of from Two. My favorite one by far though is if a male Human Warden agrees to Morrigan's racy offer near the end of Origins & manages to catch up with her in one of the DLC's...
Sounds like the dude desperatly wanted to live out his power fantasy. Jesus I hate these kinds of players...
It is so boring to use items to not get hit. It is way funnier to improve your HP and have a fight were shit actually happens.
I get that it looks cool, but they can’t rely on just the one item ALL the time. I’d use it mainly as an escape item.
There are plenty of games out there to let to live their power fantasies too. Yet they keep trying to come into D&D expecting to get similar results.
@@Dark_Tale Yup. There are systems that literally make you gods or demigods, with control over entire domains of the world. And they're still fun.
@@bogustoast22none25 Or use it as an infiltration item, or as a method to attack enemies you normally can't.
Well played! That's something I would do as a DM. lol "That Guy" earned every part of that. lol
I mean, sure, you can be crappy back to a crappy player, but why? Just have a spine, set rules, and tell the player to leave if they won't follow the table rules. This is just bad bad, passive-aggressive behavior on the part of the DM.
Do you really think the player learned anything from this? Considering the DM just validated all their allegations regarding ganging up on him, I sincerely doubt it.
@@YamiYaiba Once the cheater in question says something as brazen as "you've just got to be quicker next time", they deserve every ounce of divine retribution they elicit. The cheater was never going to learn a lesson from this even if he was just banned from the table because the person in question would still have been able to fall back on the "I'm getting targeted" excuse.
The DM salvaging some of the fun for the other players at the problem's expense is totally justified in my book. The problem player had all too many chances to shape up.
It's a delicate balancing act to both entertain the players and regulate them. Game Master are not rule Masters. What the DM did in this case was understandable. The encounter could have made the whole party suffer. Some PCs ur not able to handle delicately
The player was entitled and I doubt he'd have learned anything. Its not like he was guaranteed to die, survival was possible. He cheated and karma came back to nite him in the butt, end of story. Dm did the best thing possible.
@@YamiYaiba He wouldn't have learned anything from this if he had done it your way f that's what you're getting. Rather he'd be more incentivised to try the same shit again.
The phase spider twist was so cool. I’ll have to remember that... Just in case...
“10 is less then 5” any the Darwin Award go to
i've cheated one time as a player, and it was when our DM was being a total douche canoe and using the PC table talk to intentionally thwart our plans on his encounters with the metaknowledge he knew about what we were doing. I was the only other veteran besides the DM at a table of new players. the way i cheated was OOC knowing the weakness of the enemies and exploiting it, he was a by the book dm... so changing stat blocks and fudging rolls was not his thing, but his monsters being omnipotent was fine apparently.
our mission was to investigate a crypt that had recently unearthed and clear it of any undead. having no cleric or paladin and a bunch of PCs with high stealth, we decided to sneak into the crypt and deal with each undead one at a time to be safe. entering the crypt quietly we get about 30 feet into the first room when a monster just happens to waltz in and charge our wizard.
it was a minotaur skeleton that somehow knew about us secretly entering the crypt despite our good stealth rolls and the crypt being a large maze, having had enough of his bullshit and being a low level druid i summoned 8 constrictor snakes to wrap up and crush the monster.
every attack of my summoned snakes hit and i rolled high on damage (we put all the snakes on their own turn collectively for bookkeeping). doing the numbers and telling it to the DM. (i doubled the total in my head i knew it was likely be fatal to the minotaur skeleton). i watched as the DM realized what that damage type was and what amount of damage i had just done to it.
he said that i had killed it and then asked me how i knew what would hurt it the most. he was suspicious of me since i was a veteran player, all i said to him was "how did a monster with low passive perception, and shit intelligence instantly know of our plan to quietly enter this crypt and attack our glass cannon first instead of our frontline fighters were closer?" effectively calling him out in front of the other players.
he looked at me stunned knowing i caught him red handed, tried to make up and excuse but i was not budging, i simply said to him when i got his attention "next time we plan our moves, you will have to leave the room until i call you back"
I would hesitate to call that "cheating". Sounds more like "re-leveling the playing field" to me.
Wait you mean it isn't common knowledge that its easier to break bones with blunt force than anything else?
@@devinwhite5064 Dummkopf, any who doesn't.
Actually 0 on a d10 counts as a 10, so low is: 1,2,3,4 and 5. High is 6,7,8,9 and 0 or 10
Ok so I'm not the only one who caught that.
Yeah, the only exception is if it's a percentile D10 (being rolled with another normal D10). In that case, it'd be 00, which would mean a 0 in the 10's place (90 + 0 being 100, and 00 + 0 being 10).
I've been searching for this comment!! Well done!
A D10 is famous for being the only die with a 0 and actually being a D9!
I was hoping someone else would say this, too. Thanks!
My 3 Dice Rules when I DM:
#1: Always call your dice when you make a roll if what you need to roll (high/low) is not specified.
#2: You roll your dice on a flat portion of the table where everyone can see them; otherwise, the roll doesn't count.
#3: You leave your dice where they are after the roll so I and other players can see them, not quickly snatching them back up, or else the roll doesn't count, with you get an auto-penalty against your character if it's a roll I DM call you to make specifically.
These are my "Rules of Honest Dice" that all players must abide by when I DM. Refuse, and you can find another campaign to play. Fake agree and, fail to heed the 2 warnings I give you, your character is auto-killed by 'divine intervention' and you are booted from the game. You may return for the next session if you apologize and honestly agree to abide by the rules. Fake again, you get no warnings, lose your character, and told to leave and never return.
I will not abide cheaters.
i'm so using those if i ever DM out of my group
I have a some ideas for that “divine intervention” if it was a fate worse than death
A.) Trap them in a room where they always lose a combat encounter because the creature they’re fighting has immunities to all damage types they can use.
B.) Make them eternally silenced, making them unable to abuse social interactions
C.) Eternally chain them in place, making their character technically still usable, but unable to do anything
If you be cheatin’ you gon’ get eaten. Please let us know what you think and comment below!

Is this a game you played? Because I have heard this story before
im sorry to say crit crab already did this story
If a player in a campaign I was hosting tried to cheat with the dice by making sure no-one could see what number came up, and claimed it was a high number like a nat 20, I'd deal with it by turning that high roll they claimed to have gotten AGAINST them; here's an example:
Me: You need to get to the lever that lowers the castle drawbridge and raises the portcullis to allow the rest of your party in; the guard captain is the only one with the clearance to enter the tower room in which the lever lies.
Future dice cheating rogue: I climb the tower leading to the guard barracks from the blind spot up against the castle wall.
Me: You climb into the guard Captain's room through the window, the ONE opening to the room from the outside, and creep up behind the guard captain, who's still awake, planning the next raid; they're not wearing their helmet, but it's resting on the desk on their right hand side.
Future dice cheating rogue: I knock them out with my warhammer.
Me: Roll your d20.
Dice cheating rogue: (rolls die, and snatches it up before anyone can see what number came up) I got a nat 20.
Me: your warhammer makes a loud CRACK when it strikes the back of the guard Captain's head, and their head collapses to the map on their desk; blood gushes from the point at which you struck them, and drips from the head of your warhammer. As you turn around to try to escape through the window, a tile below your feet presses down, and a window sizes portcullis slams shut, cutting your one escape route off; the guards in the barracks just outside the Captain's room, woken by the crack, and further alerted by the sound of the portcullis slamming shut, break the door down. They see the guard Captain's head on the desk in a pool of their own blood, and see the bloody warhammer in your hand. One guard that's still in the barracks sounds the alarm, alerting the rest of rest of the guards in the castle, and the guards in the room surround you; before you can react, one strikes your head with his mace, knocking you out, and the guards carry you off to the castle torture chamber, where the castle Lord will interagate you for information on your party's whereabouts. Your party now has a choice; try to sneak in and rescue you, or flee for their own lives.
Dice cheating rogue: I call FOUL on that!
Me: That's how I call foul on DICE CHEATING; count your stars I didn't just have the mace blow KILL your character. Hopefully this'll teach you a lesson.
Umm... You have already read this dnd story man.
I remember the story from CritCrab.
If this were an "Am I the asshole" post, the answer would be "yes, and it's absolutely perfect"
He's an asshole dealing with a worse asshole. And that's the kind of asshole I enjoy.
he can dismiss the spell himself...
blink duration 1 rnd/lv (D)
(D) Dismissible
If the Duration line ends with “(D),” you can dismiss the spell at will. You must be within range of the spell’s effect and must speak words of dismissal, which are usually a modified form of the spell’s verbal component. If the spell has no verbal component, you can dismiss the effect with a gesture. Dismissing a spell is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
A spell that depends on concentration is dismissible by its very nature, and dismissing it does not take an action, since all you have to do to end the spell is to stop concentrating on your turn.
All the more reason why the gunslinger justly got his character eaten. Also, there's an item in Pathfinder that already can cause Blink, but does so by casting it to whoever, not just himself. It's cheaper too.
But no, the dude is just too important to be giving anyone else untouchable-ness. The DM did the right thing by sending that gunslinger to be spider-chow.
"Spiders the size of a horse"
Time to destroy all of reality. Its sins cannot be forgiven.
Me just being like, "the only thing that can hurt gunslinger is phase spiders, so it totally makes sense that he would use those."
I love how simple yet effective the descriptions of things like the spiders are in these stories. Marks of a great storyteller!
I've only encountered these Phase Spiders once before; little baby ones that're actually the size of real spiders.
Those alone were scary, but that can be attributed to the fact that we encountered them in narrow tunnels, and I (the artificer) was the only spellcaster in the group. Very spooky monsters.
LMFAOOOO this one was absolutely awesome. Trying to cheat by shifting through planes and then making the wrong move and getting stuck there just to be killed by spiders. Hell yeah that’s an awesome DM
Solid way to take advantage of a player being crappy. Very few things are just OP if you know how to counter them, and this DM knew the perfect trick. Props for putting a cheater in his place.
(Flashbacks to attacking that giant spider in Bloodborne while getting attacked by small spiders.)
love it. he quit and everyone was happy instead of a knock down drag out with the gm which leaves the players upset
People that cheat like that have no logical place in a campaign. It takes all the fun away.
Yes, if there's no risk, where's the ADVENTURE?
Soooo very well done, phase spiders are some of my favorites but I have never seen them delivered perfectly before.
ENGAGING A WARP SPIDER, AAAAAH, A WARP SPIDER
I have a player like this. Rolls the dice so that his rolls are hidden and if you watch him roll, he grabs it up before you can see what it is. He wont play roll20 because he can't manipulate the dice roll and he doesn't like rolling in the open. Thankfully, because of the lockdown, we are now using roll20 to play and he isn't involved.
YIRBEL LIVES! Serves that cheater right for being a bastich about people calling him out. In any case since I already used my spider story I’ll have to use my scorpion story instead. Our party had found our way into a dessert and were paid by a town to destroy a giant scorprion nest after defeating a few that invaded the town. From an earlier adventure we had gotten ourselves this fancy magic liquid that Explodes with green fire like that game of thrones episode, so luckily all we gotta do is get some into the nest. Our paladin comes up with a plan to mask our presence with scorpion pheromones so we go around looking for a stray and since he rolls a nat 20 he manages to perfectly kill the drone and pull out its pheromone bladder.
It works so well he’s basically makes a scorpion conga lime right into the cave. However the Gergantuan alpha scorption starts getting jealous and begins to maliciously snapping at him so he leaves the explosives and rushes out. The tinier scorpions die but the alpha manages to dig into the sand and escape the blast and we had to fight him. One of our best boss fights!
"Pheromones"
I expected a follow up closer to "they attempt to mate with you."
Flynn Curtis i mean yeah no the lady scorprions were totally into the paladin, why do you think the alpha was jealous?
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 good point. I read this after work, so my brain wasn't running full steam.
If I had to guess, that green explosive liquid from game of thrones is likely based on Greek fire
This gives me something to add to my light domain Drider cleric. I always wanted to utilized the ethereal plain and fortunately for everyone she is sane and quite nice.
Hahaha this is soooo good :D " ok boya you wanna go to the etheral plane, here's a free ticket and you'll have a huge and very enthusiastic welcome comitee waiting for ya" XD love it
I have a story myself of having to overcome a single-phase spider encounter during my first dungeon delve with my group...
and that was just one of the annoying buggers...
yeesh...
"If you be cheatin' you gon' get eaten"
I’ve heard this one a few times and I love it every time
I've heard this story numerous times, and I've read it probably as many, and it NEVER gets old.
You quite literally posted this one 1 minute after i started on the previous video, getting caught up.
Here's an example of a player who doesn't realize how hilarious honesty can be. At my table all PCs roll in the open for all to see, and my notoriously bad luck is a goldmine of comedy, and a running joke. I only roll well when my character's life is on the line, and its fantastic.
140k subs with so few videos. Just goes to show how many people love D&D
Without question maybe the third greatest game of DND I’ve ever played in my life happened like this.
I have heard this story before & greatly approve of the slingers demise 😊
I absolutely love this. The phase spider was a great touch.
love this story! haha so good!
Excellently done. 😎
I can already tell none of the other players had a problem with that. 😁
"When a player tried to get away with 'heads I win, tails you lose'"
That fight reminded me of a DM I had who had to make diplomacy useless and make every fight a upward battle and a further loss that doesn't equal the gains and exp was near impossible to gain unless you were a playing some sort of minmaxed war beast or something, something that made me think I was not going to survive with any characters I made even if I made them with at least one good stat, but I did enjoy the process of making my characters with no particular direction or whatever since I knew they would die for either being a tank or a squishy
Great story! But you must note that the 0 on a d10 always means 10, unless the dice actually has the number 10 on it, in which case there should be no 0
I remember this one! Great story
somebody was being inappropriate at my table (not usually me as DM, but our normal one was busy and we still wanted to play) so I had an ancient white dragon attack him. somebody else tamed it. boi.
0 on a D10 is 10...isn't it?
Yes... they say that in the story... It's a big plot point...
There was a cheater in the one group I play in (before my time with said group.). One of the things he did was "make" bad rolls - as in he'd state that he rolled poorly when he had done well - said bad rolls resulted in a dwarf, who didn't have the best luck to begin with, and couldn't jump all that well, to develop a serious fear of heights because the cheat "failed" to catch the guy (or didn't throw him with enough strength - I wasn't there so I'm not sure). Eventually, they left for one reason or another (or got kicked). Ironically, the DM didn't know that he'd cheated like that until one of the others recently mentioned it.
That being said, I know that I don't know all of the rules, but I try not to intentionally cheat - granted, if say I role an 18, or even a 20, on an information-gathering skill-check that requires 2-3 skills (or more) I'll at least state what I got so that if the other slots are covered, I can at least fill in that needed third slot.
Some of the best stuff comes out from emotional
I can’t tell if this is a repost or I’ve watched this before on a different channel but either way I love the animation the spiders are horrifying, good job
As a DM you should’ve had a Session 0 (to prevent things like these). A gunslinger class nonetheless was an interesting choice. How to manage ammo in a fantasy setting?
Fun fact simple Black Powder is actually relatively easy to make
I heard their story on a different channel, but I liked your delivery better. ☺️
"If you be cheatin' you gon' get eaten" LOL😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait...a player!?
You mess with the dm you get the spiders! 🕷🕸 or the falling rocks or a space meteor! In my case that one time! 💥🔥🌠
Wow this makes me happy I'm playing on D&D beyond, cheating just isn't a thing when we're all in the same campaign and can see what you roll
wait... didn't we hear this already? maybe i'm going nuts
I’ve heard it on another channel, but this one has a picture.
Of course my visual imagination is listening to this and now seeing the gunslinger appearing and disappearing with more wounds and what not... and then I think, well, this is going to be a fun idea for my next session.
Man some of these videos make me scared to get involved with other groups that I don't 100% know.
Great videos though!
Had a player that would do that around a live table of 8 people years ago. We all saw it said nothing till we took a break and said if you can't play fair we will ask you to leave. He stopped...for about 2 sessions and then left afterwards
This was a fitting course of action that I really like. Way to make the player's greatest strength become the very thing that buries him.
cheating in d&d only robs you of the fun and ruins the session for everyone else
Definitely. Some of the most fun I've ever had in dnd was through failure. I'm not a huge fan of playing straight-forward heroes, so I'm very comfortable with my characters making mistakes and playing into their flaws. Maybe it's because of my love of Vampire: The Masquerade and other World Of Darkness settings; in those settings failure is more of an alternate path than a loss.
I still think one of my all time favourite memories in DnD was when my naive cleric who believed in helping anyone in need who asked for assistance, regardless of their morality/circumstance, was successfully manipulated by a beholder into freeing it thanks to some low saving throws on my part and high skill throws to not be stopped by the party. The DM rolled for who to target and what beam to use in front of the board and, due to luck of the dice, I was immediately attacked with a disintegration ray and killed instantly. It sucks to roll a new character, but it felt like a deserved end for the cleric.
I need to get down to putting together my future campaign where the BBEG is a demigod of snow and spiders (the two ultimate evils in the world) and the players get a patron / sponsor / mentor of a pyromancer with an extreme hatred of arachnids...
6:15 I mean, if the mage would shoot a fireball, he would burn the spiders, burn any enemy next to the gunslinger and set the guy on fire...
Spiders... Why did it have to be spiders?!
god i love stories of how DMs deal with problematic players XD
I laughed more at this than I should have!
LAWL x'D
Oh man, this reminds me of a player who joined us for a single session.
Everything seemed to be going really smooth, the players didn't have an issue with him but he showed himself to be rebellious to my methods minutes in the game.
So much so that I had to get very strict with him about the methods in which I conduct my sessions.
I'm a very lenient DM, but I do not take to open provocations of public defiance. Because of this, It forced my hand and revealed the hammer hidden behind my kindness.
He didn't approve of this, of course.
The other players continued to play and agreed with my methods to cut short any Meta gaming. All of my Player are explained the rules which I impose.
During the game, to facilitate and keep the game smooth, I allow no BS or rebellious behaviours. If you dislike or disapprove of something I did in the session, players may contact me afterwards to discuss it and if I have anything to improve upon, I'll invest the hours to improve myself.
And so far, each players have found this to be true. I truly listen and take the time.
But this one player refused this approach.
And so, the game is continuing and everyone is getting along nicely!
Even the 13yr old Player at my table, surprisingly! 😅
Man thats awesome and funny
"If you be cheatin', you gonna get eaten." Is what I'm telling my s/o.
Has this been posted before I swear to god iv heard this before word for word before ?
I personalized my DM screen to have Fall Damage in there. Now, whenever a situation like this happens here is what I do:
I have them suddenly start flying to 200ft or above (20d6 damage, I adjust if needed. Adjusted to a point where it will obviously kill the player).
Ever seen The Mummy? Picture those flesh eating scarab beetles swarming that one guy, then replace that guy with me, the beetles for spiders, and that's what I saw in a vivid hallucination from prescription meds at 8 years old.
You already uploaded this one, didn't you? I remember watching this one last saturday
It was either critcrab or rpg tales i think. The one with the blue logo with the tentacle
Heads I win, tails you lose
I'm not sure he can truly boast about being such a great DM when he doesn't realize the 0 on a D10 is 10.
I understood that as the dm saying it was a 10, and the player calling it a 0
If you hide your rolls, don’t expect everyone to just take your word for it
Beautiful
You... have.... failed.... you should have multiclassed into ghost buster
That was a pretty brilliant play lol.
The one law in DnD that will almost always stay consistent as long as you have a good and fair DM is this: DON'T PISS HIM OFF BY CHEATING!
Seriously, DM vengeance is horrifying and effective when done like it is in this story.
His blink should have had a super debuff as a cost deficit.
Cool video!
That slightly moving image is... unsettling.
I’ve definitely heard this story before
Reverse Henderson? Genius
At my table we are new to DND. To keep it fair I just say whatever you can do don't forget the enemies will be able to do. We all absolutely love playing together, but we are not well-versed in the rules. This helps keep things Fair on the Fly.
1 time our sorcerer was wanting to cast spells while hiding behind an object. Because the spell they were casting did not specifically say that line of sight was needed to cast a spell. I simply said okay that's fine, but just remember that everyone else that uses the spell will have the same advantage.
Once again, she was not trying to bend the rules we were just not well versed. It resolved a conflict that never had a chance to begin.
This a good protection against OP and it also helps with expectations for the game and gameplay.
I would have just brought a whole bunch of characters from his past into the storyline that have the same blink magical item.
After 3 hours of nobody dying it would get old. Of course, this would probably prevent the thing from happening all together
