What was supposed to be a ten minute ship ride ended up taking an hour, because our characters scrutinized and argued over every little thing. And our rogue stole an emerald and planted the evidence on our sorcerer

captainbarnaby (12/14/2015) [-] Played D&D the other night and I have a story to tell.
Friends all gather around and get their stuff ready and we start playing a new campaign.
Campaign is full of good-aligned characters. A paladin, wizard, fighter and cleric.
Arrive at a town which has a wizard tower, so of course they want to go inside.
They knock on the door and there is no answer however they hear the sound of something heavy fall inside.
Paladin decides he should go in to make sure nobody is hurt.
See wizard sitting on the floor with books and bookcase all over the floor, wizard is not seriously hurt but somewhat dazed.
Wizard looks at the party and says "Where is my arcane?" the party is confused.
"You mean you can't cast any spells?" the player wizard asks.
"The.. The arcane... It is gone!" party is still dumbfounded.
Wizard hurriedly gets up and says "You four! You can find my arcane! Go quickly now!" he then shoos them out of his tower and shuts the door.
Party is confused. Try and gather information around town but nobody has any idea what they are talking about.
A while passes and they come across an adventurer who may know what they are talking about. Tells them to go to the next town to the west and talk to the wizard there.
The party ventures off. Fights some bandits along the road with no problems.
Eventually they get to the town and find the wizard, asking him "What happens when a wizard loses his arcane?" the wizard replies "Oh many horrible things! If he lost his arcane it is tragic indeed! I shall cast a scrying spell to see if I can find it!"
Wizard tells them the arcane is somewhere in a ruinous dungeon to the north.
"But what do we do when we get to the arcane?"
"Pick it up of course!" they get shood out of this tower as well.
Long trek to the ruinous dungeon. Fight after long fight party gets close to dying a couple times but cleric saves them all.
Finally find the room where the arcane is supposed to be.
Literally don't see anything out of the ordinary except for a pedestal with a piece of paper on it.
Paper says "I know what you're looking for. Meet me in the town farther to the north in the snowy wastelands."
Party goes along with it but are visibly annoyed, everyone is having fun though.
Get to the town after some time, find a suspicious woman in a cloak who beckons them to come over.
She speaks as they approach "I hear a wizard has lost his arcane. I know where it truly resides. As the wizard who directed you to the dungeon wants it for himself. I believe that the arcane should go back to its rightful owner"
Party is still confused "What the hell is the arcane? How do we find it?" still no real answers.
"Go to one final place. The volcano to the east holds your arcane you seek." she then leaves.
" **** it fine"
They reach the volcano entrance and go inside.
" **** it's hot"
You guys are supposed to be taking damage each round from how hot it is, but I didn't think you'd get this far so **** it.
They have long battles with fire elementals, they have to jump across a few crevices over lava (Which some of them barely made) and they finally reach the final room where the arcane is supposed to be.
Look around for trace amounts of magical energy. The wizard casts detect magic
No magic is detected.
"Are you ******* serious" the players say.
Look at them and say "You see something bulging out of the ground in the middle of the room."
They go and pick it up
"I inspect it"
"It appears to be a cane"
"a cane? wait is it.."
"Shaped like an R."

geofalke (12/14/2015) [-] most of my characters don't have a super fleshed out backstory, just more of an outline of things that definitely happened in a short character intro type bio. Gives me more time to fill in the background and lets me develop things based on how the character interacts with the D(G)M's world.
they also tend to either follow a game trope like that weird NPC merchant who always shows up in the damndest of places with the gear you need or they tend to have something /different/ about them like an orc paladin of law and civility.(think stoic orc)
beats the pants off playing your run of the mil Crognac the Barbarian or your white knite paladin, or that stupid edgelord who always makes a rouge/hunter/warlock type who is "oh so evil but the party doesn't know it"

omegez (12/14/2015) [-] This is gonna take a while to type:
Basic terms it was the sequel to many different adventures my friends have gone through. It ended off with a giant empire getting overuled previously by our group and uniting kingdoms and we killed their king. In the end when we looted his treasure trove we found a ring of 3 wishes and at the time we had 2 others so we used all three to bring my buds best character back from the dead... but when being brought back he managed to accidentally bring a creature, an evil spirit out of the abyss and into the world of the mortals, it wasnt the first time this creature had been to the overworld though but each time it would bring an age of destruction and as they found out long ago this creature brought about the largest war in the land by awakening giant constructs its master built in the world before he transported himself to the Abyss. These constructs called Shear were the epitome of destruction, ranging in sizes from Dragons to bigger than mountains. In the adventure the group had to stop the creature but him being too strong managed to awake one of the Shear and used it to go on a trail of carnage across the continent. In the end though the group managed to go into 4 seperate ruins and find gems a previous group of warriors made to destroy the Shear and the creature, but before the creature perished he promised that it wouldnt be the end, and that in due time the land would be wrought to ruins and that all life would be extinguished... sadly i was heavily rushed and I wasnt this descriptive but thats the general gist of it. My next adventure will take place 100 years later after the events of the war with the Shear. Many of the previous heros are old or have pasted. The main point is the minions of the creature have mostly been hunted down over the 100 years except 2, who in the end when this new group finds them manage to awaken a Shear of unimaginable power that was erased from history (except for some subtle hints I made.)

omegez (12/14/2015) [-] my bud used teleportation to skip the 4th ruin, there was supposed to be a racial drama with a city they pass through and they were going to have to stop the crazy af king their from using salvaged dwarven golems to take over their island, the final battle was lame, the basically ignored the creature guy who was chasing them like a wild goose chase, theyre was also alot of stuff that just seemed boring to them and they "improvised" I understand I dont run the story but I did sort of had a plan in mind yknow?

zionsype ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-] Damn, that sucks.
Just recently, I had a bar full of characters, one of them was secretly a demon.
In the bar was 3 people who were with The Green Serpents, a brutal mercenary group.
Another 2 were brothers, Plucknet and Raleigh, one being very serious, and the other being comic relief with a planned backstory.
They walked in, and decided Plucknet was the demon because he was smiling and slashed his back open, then cut Raleigh's head off with good rolls.
The demon was the waiter the whole time.

fatbutler (12/14/2015) [-] "Man vs. Dice"
My monk died last session from a lightning rune trap. So I rolled for a god roll, and failed. Then the wizard poured a potion of life down my throat. I failed the Resurrection survival roll. Now that I can't be brought back by any means other than a wish, the warrior used a wish to bring me back.
I failed that roll as well.

After that all fights devolved into me snaring them with my wiles then painting the ground in what ever it was I got pulled in. Also yes I could get anything to fall given the spell normally only allowed temp buffs to char but it said nothing about stat swapping.

I've got a campaign going on roll20.net
All the players are friends with each other (so no strangers are at each other's necks), we're a friendly and personable bunch, and more than willing to help explain things.
Perhaps you'd like to give it a shot? I'm currently DMing a morally ambiguous Adventuring/Dungeoneering campaign that is ultimately a "God + Man vs. God" type of story!

Also I'd be cool if you could gimme a link to that pdf, I'm currently reading pathfinder 3.5 but It took me time to find it.

weskerwesker ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-] Makes sense. They are simple and fun. I like them. I dont think im cut out for being a DM personally. I haven't practiced enough and everytime I finish a small encounter with friends, I always think back and think I could have done better. But I would be pretty interested in joining. I dont use Skype too much nowadays, but I have it installed still, I've been using Discord discordapp.com/ lately, its a lot better than Skype I feel. As it is made for gamers. You can ever run it in browser if you dont want to download it.

I'd be willing to look into discord but only if everyone who ends up in the group would also do so, I really don't feel like runing this thing out of a million programs.

I dont have any characters ready for that edition yet. I have seen 3.5 is pretty huge yeah? I'll probably spend a couple days looking through stuff.

tacoperson (12/14/2015) [-] I always hated how pathfinder has you roll for stats. I never liked how no matter how powerful you get in dnd you can always die just by failing a roll, and now I can get ****** over by bad rolls before I even play. Honestly the one thing that puts video games before tabletop gaming in my eyes is that if you do well it's because you performed with an adequate amount of skill, not because you rolled a die and it said 1.
on a side note are there any good dice-free tabletop games? Is such a thing even possible?

ministermax (12/14/2015) [-] Pathfinder does NOT have you roll for stats.
You either roll, or 10 point buy, or 15 point buy, or 20 point buy, 25 point buy, etc etc.
If everything is a life or death situation your GM is bad.
This just sounds like you had a trash GM and nothing else.

ah I only did pathfinder once, I didn't know there were other ways of doing it.
It's not all life or death situations, it just always bugged me that when you DO get in life or death situations you're one unlucky roll away from dying. You can figure out how to defeat some ultimate evil, run in for the final battle, slip on a banana and die.
The main thing is not everything in life is luck, so why is everything in dnd luck based?

iqequalzero (12/14/2015) [-] Pathfinder doesnt roll stats for the most part. Most people, atleast on the PbP forums, use point buy.

tacoperson (12/14/2015) [-]
yeah that makes pathfinder redeemable. I don't see why anyone would have you roll for stats. I ended up rolling ****** stats the time I had to and I had to sit there in envy with other people who lucked out and got the good **** . It's honestly just a terrible way to do it overall.
That being said I still like gurps the most. So much customization. So much realism. I don't even care if you have to roll a d6 every ten seconds to make sure you don't have a brain aneurysm.

krobeles (12/14/2015) [-] Well, I dont think theres any inherent "dice less" systems that I can think of, but I know of two where the propabillity of you ******* up a roll is extreamly small.
In both World of Darkness and Shadowrun, you usually have somewhere between 5 to 10 dice to anything you're trying to do, and if just 1 of those comes up a "success", you're effectively succeeding at what you're trying to do. You might not do so with flying colors, but atleast you're still succeeding. Since you have so many dice, you usually end up rolling about the same number of "successes" between attempts at the same thing. Thats just statistics.
Additionally, you dont roll for stats in either of those systems, and especially in Shadowrun, you can make pretty much whichever dude you want.
