Edgelord Saved the Day by Taking the D&D Campaign into His Own Hands

My brain basically autocorrected to Kayne for some reason and I’m just going to blame Key & Peele.

Editor popped off on this one) Forced me to actually look at the video😅

I think that grab would have taken me out as a DM. I woulda died laughing 😂

The DM was drawing pictures of SA as visual aids!? What!?!

Sometimes, Rogues can be the greatest of heroes.

~_~

The fact that the boss' crimes included SA, the way he was defeated is absolutely fitting!🤣

I absolutely love that they became friends with the edgelord in the end. Such a wonderful ending! <3

There's absolutely nothing wrong with meeting in a tavern

YOU FOOL, FOR i-- BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLS-

For once, the edgelord wasn't the problem but the solution

what's worse is that this is the norm for freeform roleplay in online spaces. people actually pay money in secondlife to build up this big and impressive little virtual world only for the entire moderator team for the rp group to pull this shit

Burst out laughing at the rogue's final quip. Now that's truly a Lord of Edge. Glad he got crowned

If you want to create a story and don't desire input. Write a book.

If you want to see what others do when presented story with options and you can roll with what they come up with. Be a Dm.

I love how the moment the edgelord was brought in as if he was gonna be a problem, only to end up being the best solution to the situation.
Pure quality.

the rogue grabbing the BBEG's balls and crushing it, reminds me so much of that one chapter of the Shin Mazinger Z manga.

a bit of Spoilers incoming.

in one of the chapters of the manga the main villain of the series Dr.Hell announced that he will take over the world and the first thing he do is single handedly took over the white house is Grab the President's Ball's and Crushed it ti'll it explodes. the best part in that scene is when the cia yelled "THE ENEMY HAS GRABBED THE PRESIDENT'S BALLS!"

I mean, to be fair, he was playing a drow. What did they expect a happy go lucky fellow made up of rainbows and unicorns?

MrMadManiac here! And it deeply warms the cockles of my heart to find videos of the silly little DnD story I wrote!
Full Disclosure: The entire story was fiction, and simply written for fun. I had taken primary inspiration from Critcrab's videos, especially about the infamous "Airship DM".

I am truly honored to find so many people like what I wrote, enough to make videos for it! So, in reference to the time I wrote the story, and the time I happened upon this video

Happy Easter. 🥚🥚;-)

Y'know, thinking about it, this dm unknowingly had some potentially interesting ideas here, if only he wasn't so far up his own ass.

Think about it: The "DMPC" keeps popping up like this (not every single encounter, just some of them), stealing the show, and has all these stories and legends about how great and powerful they are.

Except...they're not. They could be a Gilderoy Lockheart type deal, stealing the accomplishments of others and "getting rid" of them so they can't reveal the truth, and is targeting the party next.

Or they could be the actual BBEG, using the party to get to those who are a threat to him, such as rival bosses or even people who know how to defeat him, letting the party clean out the minions and weaken the boss so he can finish them off and look like the "hero".

Shame the DM was an idiot and couldn't see the potential he had on his hands...

My edgy Warforged isn't an asshole. He's a soldier so actions speak louder than words; he rarely speaks more than five words, so when the group hears him say full sentences, he's either giving tactics, or some villain is going to be ripped apart by his big metal hands. He also suffers from PTSD so his Barbarian Rage is used to great effect when he sees innocent people being harmed.

The start shows how should DMPCs should be used: as Zero from MegaMan X. I have this orc lady bard with a six shooter on her hip, but she is not there to stole the spotlight, she is there to show lvl 1 players what they can become, while NPCs are there to show how weak they're right now: the Halfling young lady named Clementine who makes wine? Lvl 1 monk. The dwarven blacksmith with scars all over his body? Lvl 2 fighter. The king of your kingdom that just slapped the orc lady priorly mentioned that saved your butt the first time your squishy party almost got TPK several miles away? That's a lvl 21 whatever (no players, you can't become or fight against the king, he is the king for a reason. And in DND settings, being a king is way WORSE that it used to be in real life).

A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEAC.....oh, it's just Kanye again. Would you kindly buzz off? I'd like NEW hand to touch the beacon!

Two things: one, JUST WRITE A BOOK DM! STOP HOLDING PEOPLE HOSTAGE FOR THE KANYE SHOW! NOBODY WANTS EITHER OF IT! Two, legends still say that Kanye is running in fear of the illustrious Jewel Thief, fearing for the safety of his own tiny pearls.

"Now all you have is your pitiful bonus action" what a shitty way to talk to your players geez. There's a time and place to show your players they're not the biggest fish in the pond but this is just hostility towards the people taking time to play your game.

"He looks at you with doll like eyes and does not respond"

The nasty little droogy certainly made sure that the old codger certanly had a taste of the old Ultraviolence right in the Yarbles, oh yes.

I know it's technically a mispronunciation of Kayne, but I can't stop laughing at the idea of the Actual Kanye charging into the scene, slaying a bad guy, and then leaving.

Like what?

I love glory stories

To quote a funny vid: That edgelord hit em with the good ol' d¡ck twist.

(My friend deserves all the credit) my friend asked me for an NPC pitch for a play by post RP he GMed. I pitched the biggest edgelord ever on a dark legasus with a lance that's an ogre's toothpick. My friend transformed that clown into a taciturn Paladin who ended up sacrificing himself to close up a demon's portal. My friend didn't want to sacrifice an established PC so I believe he made the party's mission to provide enough backup so that the NPC can kamikaze himself. Then the party still had their final battle since while the portal was closed, the big bad had to be defeated. So it's not like NPC robbed the party of their boss battle.

I remember playing a rogue type that was edgleord in appearance "he looks down from high above, hood covering his face and the moonlight reflecting off his blades" only to jump down and pull back the hood being all kind and happy throwing people off. Was fun playing an accidental edgelord

I would never have that much patience to keep playing with such asshole of DM, but I admit the final of the story gave the payback he needed.

Lmao this is like a Dhar Mann video. How are ppl watching this sh 😂

It’s so hard for me to believe that people exist who DM solely to have their own character do anything fun

I always thought Glory stories were fun IN GAME moments that were memorable, not Horror story but haha?

One for the edgelords bois. Ring it up

A quiet, no-nonsense warrior defeats a mighty foe by squeezing his balls while his cohorts land countless fatal blows.

This is the kind of thing you hear about in norse mythology.

These videos giving me so much inspiration to have some fun with cringe I see everywhere lol. I'm writing up a homebrew warlock to be edgy that's more akin to third edition "shadow wizard money gang pact"

Essentially it's invocations you can spam. No spells per day. "We love casting spells"
The invocations are separated not by just a renamed spell but a particular condition. Lesser invocations for lower level campaigns stuff like deafen or charm, improved exhaustion or blind, greater petrified, save or die (legalize nukes) to keep up with other casters also gains a +2 bonus on saves against condition he can cast. Instead of learning a new condition, can master an old one, which effects all hostile creatures in sight rather than a target, and gain advantage if that condition would happen to you.

DMs always be wanting music for your character. I find that cringe in itself, music in campaigns is cringe, so it's gonna be electric wizard legalize drugs and murder as I can make a bong rip noise with my mouth lol

As soon as a DM you never played with says they are a "storyteller" or "storycrafter", RUN.
Of course there are GMs which can tell good stories and craft good lore.. but the ones who title themselves as such are the same ones what leaves 0 room for player agency. They just want to tell a story and you're there to watch.

fantastic 🎉😂

Him being apprehensive about the edgelord character having never played dnd was weird. Maybe I have rose tinted glasses since all of the edgelord characters Ive dealt with were not run by edgelord players, but in the end its nice to see it ended as a positive experience and made a friend.

That battle scene was so great I pictured it that edgelord character/player is the hero of this tale

I’ve come back to this video 4 times and I still get a laugh that he named his dmpc Kanye 😂

I can see having the DMPC save the player's if the fight got too hard for them, but for the game to revolve around the DMPC is beyond dumb

DM is a serious loser. I almost feel sorry for them, but they would need some kind of ability to understand what they did wrong first. Which they did not even after the players brought up various issues.

This is my new favorite story you’ve covered 😂

Jewels most precious 😂

This story is awesome. The end had me laughing. I wish I could've been there to see it take place firsthand.

That takedown was so cinematic though. It could've been so great if it was a good dm.
