Oof. Well all right. But everyone should still feel free to post stuff of their own!

Here's parts 3 and 4. After slapping the background images together it's actually a simple task to write up a script and animate it.

Part 3








Part 4



As someone who has run Tomb of Horrors for idiots begging to play it, I can say this is entirely accurate.

Presidential debates should be replaced with presidential D&D campaigns. I think we'd get a much better feel for the candidates that way.

Speaking of horrible political ads, I've already seen a "Don't Reneg 2012" bumper sticker. Say it out loud if you're confused.


This is apparently a thing.
Is this because people can't spell OR pronounce renege correctly?

We got back to town, Rezzed the Cleric and all was well.

After that we called him "Father Vlasic" from then on.

The question of "What is the damage rating of a peasant?" has come up in a DnD campaign I have played in. In that case though it was due to a berserking Lizardman.
I had a character in a "let's all make ridiculous concepts" game who was a high-level kensai who named the halfling monk as his signature weapon. He'd throw the halfling for damage, and then he'd flurry. Since he was the weapon, his fists got all of my innate magical weapon bonuses on top of his monk fist bonuses.

The idea of Crossbow giving a speech is the funniest mental image imaginable. That whole thing is just hilarious. An alignment change all the way down to evil seems a bit harsh for what amounted to bad luck, poor explanations and self defence though.
This is D&D alignments, a system where it is absolutely always okay to kill someone if they care more about their own well-being than yours.

Oh god I've been in this game, except a lot less hilarious and not a very good story. Just a lot of spergy neckbeards all rolling sleight of hand v. spot and bluff v. sense motive a lot and just generally being assholes to each other while the DM goaded them on.

That's only for the bag of holding for some reason. Putting a sword or the like has a 10% chance to puncture the bag, making everything in it fall out.

There's no will saves (or really any save) against cursed magic items. You use the item and you get cursed. Some items have random chance activation but once they do activate you don't get a save.

Edit: I take it back. Some do allow saves. But there's no guarantee that saves are allowed.
Generally any effect that forces your character to do something allows a Will save.

We all know Hrothgar would voluntarily fail this one, though.

Yeah, I went out and bought the Player's Handbook, Monster Manual and Dungeon Master's Guide because of this thread. Don't let it die; or, if you have to end it, at least wait until a nominee is chosen and you can kill off the losers.
What edition did you buy? Because [The One I Like] is the only playable one, [The Ones Before It] were byzantine and [The One(s) After It] are oversimplified WoW-lite for babbies.

Edit: oops for racism, what I mean is: isn't D&D just a generally rip-off of Tolkien's work in a gamey format?
There's a lot of subtly implied racism in Tolkien's work if you read into it a bit.
