tfw you make a really good adventure and is really flushed out and everyone dislikes it because no one takes there time and skips ahead like a 5 year old playing a video game

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 (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.
