Jean/Alex/Nora

how could we forget that, in said college (?) AU there's a DnD club(Vriska is banned from it)

GhastlyGhifin

She founded the LARPing club out of spite a week later

Jean/Alex/Nora

who do you think is the DM?

MissFinefeather

Dirk

Jean/Alex/Nora

(Nep's character is a Tabaxi, obviously)

GhastlyGhifin

I'd say either Aranea or Terezi.

failbird105

The LARPing club was shut down another week later after several severe injuries.

Jean/Alex/Nora

also GG, Aranea

Nefronis

They let Aranea DM once, and she was very railroading

Jean/Alex/Nora

nope you're not!

Nefronis

Get out of here, Dirk, you only bother MIss

Jean/Alex/Nora

not after Reader got there!mwahaha!

Terezi would be a disaster DMfor a different reason from Aranea

GhastlyGhifin

I mean, we've seen her do it beforeShe's fairly effective

Nefronis

Yeah, Paradox Space had her actually DM, I forgot that

Jean/Alex/Nora

she'd rig all boss fights in favour of bosses

maybe Karkat? because he saw it being a disaster and said "UGH, MUST I DO EVERYTHING AROUND HERE?", and his campaign is surprisingly an absolute delight

Nefronis

Just you wait until we can friend you

Jean/Alex/Nora

I'm not saying Reader is a DMI'm saying that since they got here

you can't be!

Nefronis

Actually, Dave would probably be a 'fun' one-shot DM

Jean/Alex/Nora

:33 < wow, cr33py much?

maybe even Roxy

Nefronis

He'd let a lot of people do what they want, so he's not great for long sotry-arching games, but he'd be fun to mess around with

Jean/Alex/Nora

Roxy would also be a surprisingly good DM

Nefronis

Roxy has an entire homebrew system she made after late night sleeplessness

Jean/Alex/Nora

yup!I'm not sure which class Nep would go for, but maybe Monk

so she could do - as a Tabaxi

Flurry of Claws

GhastlyGhifin

Oh she's definitely a Tabaxi Monk/Druid hybrid

Eridan's banned from being a Bard so now he's just a shitty wizard

Jean/Alex/Nora

Druid doesn't quite sit her tho

Nefronis

Eridan insits it's shitty, but every character he makes has at least 10 pages of backstory

GhastlyGhifin

Tell that to her mountain lion familiar

Jean/Alex/Nora

Eridan is playing a wizard but is hitting all bard stereotypes

Nefronis

I was more thinking ranger

GhastlyGhifin

Alright that works

Jean/Alex/Nora

yea, ranger works better than druid

her preferred enemy are clowns

ok no, not serious here

GhastlyGhifin

I mean clowns are actually a race in homebrew D&D so that works

Jean/Alex/Nora

what

Nefronis

She made it as a joke after an argument with Gamzee and then regretted itI'm sorry?

MissFinefeather

...clown race?

omfg

GhastlyGhifin

https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Clown_(5e_Race)

I already have a character made with this race, she's a Ranger that uses boxing glove arrows

Jean/Alex/Nora

Feferi is playing Merfolk, but she doesn't take Noble background

however, Eridan does

GhastlyGhifin

Okay Feferi would definitely be a Druid, that or a Sorcerer with a Kraken patron

Jean/Alex/Nora

also, Nep's bg is 100% Outlander

she just makes a character who's basically her because she's already cool

Nefronis

Once, Eridan insisted on inerworking his and Feferi's backstorys, so now she makes sure to never play nobles again because he will always play a noble

Jean/Alex/Nora

also GG, ones with patrons are Warlocks

GhastlyGhifin

Dammit, I keep getting the two confused

Jean/Alex/Nora

however, Kanaya's character is a Sorceress

also, with all the name acronyms... hijinks ensue

":33 < also i'm cg!" 

"NO, I AM CG."

"SO, WHAT'S YOUR AC?" 

":33 < i am no one's!"

Nefronis

They once played over chat clients but when people changed names and colors to be more in character no one could remember who's who anymore, so now they insist on having to actually meet to play

It’s 4 am and I can’t sleep so I’m going to tell y’all some of my favorite stories from our dnd campaign. Context! We’re all friends through LARP and we’ve only had two sessions so far. The world is a homebrew of our DM’s creation, including the gods and a few homebrew races.

My character is a chaotic evil human Madness Cleric, it’s a homebrew subclass that you can find some versions of on dnd beyond. Basically her deity is a god of insanity, think cthulu but with a sick sense of humor. Quick rundown of her backstory: she’s an apothecary who did some fucked up shit and was driven out of town.

The rest of our party is 1) A Dragonborn warlock whose patron is an archfey 2) A Bugbear monk 3) A Ryke (homebrew race) wizard and 4) A “Moon Elf” bard. We are noncanonically “evil squad” because all of us have evil or neutral alignments.

Session 0. The DM messages exposition. Each of us received a letter and money to meet at a bar, the letters contain suspicious information about our pasts. My cleric meets the bard early and... he’s weird. Specifically he has very sharp teeth and creepy eyes. Okay, she’s weird too, not a big deal.

Session 1. We meet at the bar, we get information about our job to rescue an important figure in the order of the Raven from a prison. We try and fail to do recon, eventually the monk finds a lead to an unrelated kidnapped girl because she befriends the kidnappers. Kidnappers are mad that their boss didn’t pay them, we talked to the boss. I try to intimidate him by casting dissonant whispers, I really should have thought about how weak this dude would be because we’re all level 1. I deal 14 points of psychic damage and his head fucking explodes. This is where we get point a towards the bard being not your average moon elf, as he tries to eat the dead dudes eyeball but the wizards crow familiar beats him to it. Our lawful evil warlock decides he needs to deal with the situation by stripping the body and carrying it with him to “bring to a mortuary.” He ends up leaving the body in front of the inn and we all get drunk that night because everyone is celebrating that we returned the kidnapped girl, which was mostly just because she was there while we were committing crimes.

Also we’re all pretty sure that this creepy bard is not a normal moon elf after session 1.

Session 2 (monk player couldn’t make it): Next day. The wizard, who is almost certainly the only functioning member of the group, actually got intel as to our job and we go to investigate. On the way, the warlock gets really excited about his new powers from his patron and blasts of an eldritch blast in a random direction. DM says to roll a d100. He does, and the warlock ends up hitting and killing a nearby child. Again, lawful evil, he needs to bring the body to a mortuary. Which he never found in the first place for the other body. He carries the corpse through the town, the party freaks out and takes off in the opposite direction to avoid being associated with that disaster. My cleric notices that no one seems to be reacting to the obvious murder, and questions a bystander. Apparently, no one else can see the Dragonborn with the kid. The warlock has been telepathically communicating with his patron the whole time and “cashed in a favor.” The warlock stabs a stick into the ground and impales the child on it. My cleric points it out yet again, and once the warlock has walked away everyone can see the dead kid. Chaos ensues. My cleric claims the deed in the name of her god and hightailed it out of there, leaving behind the warlock. She catches up to the party, we make progress on our mission. (He eventually caught up.) We come across mercenaries, we find out that they were hired to “find us and take us back dead or alive,” so we kill them. First proper combat of the game! It went well, but at the end the bard dragged the body of an elf archer off into the woods and came back seemingly wearing its clothes and definitely eating its heart. Cue horrified wizard, uncaring warlock, and delighted cleric. Cleric and bard sit down and have a chat, apparently he doesn’t know what race he is either or why he suddenly wants to eat raw body parts. These urges are new to him and my cleric gets the idea that she might be why, as in she might be channeling her deity to influence this man to insanity.
