My party became obsessed with this random street urchin character so much that she became the main focus of the first story and joined the party basically. She's now an arcane trickster

Once, my party decided we much preferred the mutant bipedal sewer rats (mbsr) to the quest giver that had set flamethrower traps on the way to his sewer base, so we teamed up with the rats instead, and got them jobs at the post office. Our DM was only mad that we made a better quest.

I saw a gif on reddit where this car was stopped letting some sheep pass by, and then the car door opened and someone grabbed a sheep by the back legs and just pulled in, it was super quick too like they'd done this before

i laughed out loud at the shitty "they rough him up" scene god thats my cryptonite😂😂

This is the most blursed campaign story I've heard in a hot minute. I'd love to hear more.

Slap Glob the Banderhobb Ate old man Gleek and took his job. Since then, he walked with mossy flock, Some sheeps with coats of shroom and rock. Now, one day Glob saw he lost Bob, His favorite sheep did someone rob! So off he went, past dales and Ents, To see where had poor Bob been sent. A chance encounter, With wayward bounders, Did Glob find those that ran With Bob in their tow, While chaos they sowed, Were these brutish examples of man. But Glob was too kind, And scooped Bob from his bind, while he burped out a "'Morrow gud!" They gestured in kind, with a spear to the mind, and Glob thought, "My, that was rude." After exchanging some words did pain cease, Both Glob and the Men had find peace, They bid bye to dear Bob, and said sorry to Glob, As the Shepard went home with his fleece.

That was good. Definitely make these D&D stories a more regular thing

Still one of my most memorable NPCs in my campaign was a random Boggle the party ran across who wore a bucket on his head so they just called him Bucket and briefly "adopted" him as he was lost from the rest of his people. He proceeded to be a general nuisance for the majority of his time with the party but for some reason it's one of my most memorable NPCs in my head, it's the best when improv makes special moments and characters like that.

The frogs real name should be Frog Di Minthara.

0:10 That campaign sounds like the Tarrey Town quest in Breath of the Wild xD

5:07 literally EXACTLY who i was thinking when the party adopted It. Minthara is It.

My party loves Friendship is Magicing everything they can. I recall they took sides regarding a Skin Weaver (Grimm Hollow Monster) And one of them started working with the guy (Appreciating a fellow artist) while another went to go call a Monster Hunter to help flush them out. The monster hunter was basically Father Gascoigne from Bloodborne and set the Skin weaver's shopfront alight forcing them through a backdoor before cornering the party members and the Skin weaver in an alleyway. They incapacitated the two, tied them up and gave them a choice, they stop killing and they'll be let go. Gascoigne was brought in as a bounty on Werewolves (It's in Kartakass) and the Skinweaver joined a Player made NPC who was a Changeling who made costumes, plying his trade with less morbidly collected materials

My warlock adopted a mentally unhinged elf who made bombs. At the end of the campaign my PC was given a small blackhole by him and had an opportunity to assassinate the elven royalty. Again.

I currently have a campaign going in my sci-fi D&D world with 4 players, one of which has a pet giant bug from their homeworld. By the end of the second session, they had a pet living rock they called Steve, a weird bone-eating slug they keep in a jar, and a strange monster girl version of another monster they've fought a few times that kinda just ran off while they were asleep and has been accidentally helping the party on their travels. I am fully convinced that by the end of the campaign, my party will have a full on cat café worth of weird monster pets.

Runesmith I love you

This was really good! I'd definitely have made a pure combatant mage that clearly missed the premise and would have to adapt to be useful, so I could easily see the shenanigans involved. I think it'd be really fun!

Yo, if at some point the party does give the Banderhob a name, you have to give us an update! Personally I'm hoping for Fromge, but Dumpy or Bucephalus would be acceptable alternatives. In all seriousness though, this is great, and building a settlement sounds like a great story hook for a sandbox campaign, as it lets the players do whatever, whilst also giving them a bunch of things they would logically to build the settlement, that you can then prep for.

My party met a pet shop owner who was really bad at gambling and off the top of my head it was Gnome boxing, now a dwarf cleric dressed up as a gnome is going to box for the world championship.

A while back played in a game where we got to a herd of sheep and the druid spoke with them for answers. They told us about a cyclops who would kill them occasionally by throwing them against trees. Well, we attack and murder this cyclops, who turns out to just be their shepherd and a well respected member of the local community as a wilderness guide for a dangerous nearby trail. The locals weren't too happy.

Im going to take notes of this for my eventual dming in the future. That being prepare multiple backups when shit hits a metamorical fan . Thank you

I’d love a whole series of “shit my party did” or “you’ll never believe what these assholes have done now” videos.

I’ve always wanted to try a town building campaign like that but never knew how on either side of the dm screen. I am happy to know now that part of it is stealing wild sheep and fighting and befriending frogs.

We would do anything for the Banderboi now. Games where everyone has different reactions and dispositions but has the same ultimate goal are so fun when the DM can juggle it well (Logan is a great example of this lol)

Once our party decided to rope a goblin NPC along in their escape plan. He got killed by an enemy mage's Fireball, and the druid passed a goodberry to the paladin, who failed the roll, and stepped on the goodberry. This moment of hilarity has been christened "The Goodberry Incident" by me.

Couple of my favorites I have done. A Kored rope maker who uses his strange transmutation hair to create impossible ropes wandering around with his pet cave fisher and giant spider-donkey. Also anything with Revenants because I love the whole vengeful dead but also totally a victim angle. Makes my players think.

My favorite is still the arcanaloth that the party encountered and befriended. They're just buddies now

I like the idea of cursed characters, working on a mage characters that used to be a barbarian. After a monkey's paw type wish backfires, the barbarian wishing to be able to use powerful magic, he's transformed into an old, frail, wizard. Given high intelligence but only with the knowledge he already had from his life as a barbarian. Now too weak to even lift his battle axe and as ignorant to magic as your standard barbarian, the world is now terrible and dangerous in ways he never considered in his former body, that of a mighty warrior. Just a jerk wizard who can't even read and is terrified of his own shadow... gonna call him Perplexed the Disoriented Wizard.

New Runesmith video woohoo 🎉

I spent most of the last session convincing a group of goblins to unionize against their bugbear boss. They ended up getting onions as a bonus and were very happy with the success of their union (“un-yun”)

I had an encounter with a group of Kenku who, because they were excellent at deciphering writing and whatnot, were being employed as alchemists making drugs. The party showed up, blew up their lab, NEARLY wiped them all out in one hit, so they all just immediately surrendered. They ended up taking pity on them and told them to head to their camp. They were a little troupe with crossbows, who could help out a LOT with combat encounters. I ended up giving the leader the name "Shuffles", and it became a tradition that they would bring him whatever parts of creatures they killed might be neat for him to experiment on. They even gave him a nice little alchemists cart!

So about a year ago me and some friends were playing a D&D campaign, and we had stumbled across this god who could grant wishes, and I wished for a new NPC to join us. Turns out this god is a bit of a trickster and the NPC we got was this annoying brat noble who wouldn't shut up. eventually we made it to the nine hells and encountered a horned devil, who took the bard up about 200 feet in the air and was going to drop him, so I said "Hey if we Sacrifice the noble to you will you let him (the bard) free?" and everyone agreed that she was annoying af so we were able to convince the horned devil to sacrifice her. this was my first D&D campaign btw.

I made a joke Npc named [Human name], who is an Ettercap who pretends to be a human by using a top hat, a paper mask and moutache and always introduces themselves like "Hi, my name [Human name] and I like human things like [ ] and [ ] . Obviously they loved them, even if rest of the oneshot was sloppy. Atleast I now have a placeholder npc when necessary.

Don’t worry my player is a warforged now obsessed with a dormant iron golem he found in an abandoned wizard’s tower. He refers to it as Domme mommy and swear that he will figure out how to awaken her.

My party found a set of animated armor and after giving it a cursed mace that gave it a soul, we treated him as the party VIP I invest more resources into making it stronger than anything else in the adventure The DM said its a CR9 or 10 creature at this point

Fun fact, if that is the lake I think it is, the island shown at the beginning of the video is called wizard island.

Isn’t it funny how often the best laid plains of DMs rarely survive first contact with players..

this explaines DMing PERFECTLY!!!

In one of my games, the barbarian made sewer gator sushimi for an infestation of quasits. Definitly one of those players who wants pets, as he later tried to ride a xorn the rest of the party were feeding gold to like a wishing well.

When I saw your title, my first thought was "Because you're a cool GM who *let them*"

Poor Banderhobb... *I love 'im.*

My one player for my dragonlance campaign is a gold Dragonborn barbarian who went out into the world to become a chef and got adopted by a family of vampires who taught them exotic dishes before leaving them as well. That's also how he became a barbarian, they performed a ritual to separate the aggressive part of his personality(He's a Path of the Fractured barbarian from Grim Hollow) And now they're smack dab in the middle of Takisis' bid to conquer the world Their name is Greg. We love Greg

Honestly a campaign all about starting a settlement sounds pretty cool, especially for a new DM. Thanks for the idea.

I was running a game in Spelljammer and the party was just supposed to kill a dragon for a mercane. They ended up stealing a Space Clown ship, kidnapping a wyrmling from the lair, and becoming space pirates with their new mascot.

I always think I’m creative and then I hear shit like this 😅 Thank you Papa Runesmith!

Bless the RuneSmith

That sounds like something my party would do one time we were in a dungeon and they summoned Michael from vsauce and dancing toothless

My party kidnapped a drunk guy from a bar once. He was only meant to tell us (drunkenly) about a local haunted mansion, but then the sorcerer was like "can you show us the way?" and then proceeded to carry him around and protect him. And then just kept on doing that until we got to a ship. He took the drunk guy with him, onto the ship. The drunk guy does not mind in the slightest and has become a sort of weird cryptid for the rest of the crew, always drunk regardless of how much booze he's actually had. The DM fully and throughrouly did not expect us to just take him with us, he was a plot hook. And now he's family. The barbarian took to calling him "Scooby Lewis" and attempted to sell him at least once (it didn't work).

God I wish I could watch this campaign live or as a VOD

Ok, now I want to hear more about this campaign;]

Tonight's prompt: Intercept the Haunted Piece of Jewelry from the Animated Hermit at the Undead Mansion. After several complications ending with a snatch and grab from the Harpy delivery person, the mission was a success.

This campaign sounds like a blast

Got Jumpstart because was watching this video AT crater lake, which where that island image is from btw

yeah story time!!

One of my players recently became a secret intellect devourer because the party decided to be murderhobos that day. So the campaign is supposed to be a thieves guild campaign that takes place primarily in a city. There are three players two human rogues and a hobgoblin artificer. The human rogues are named Elliot and Gert while the hobgoblin is named Egoc. In a previous session Gert managed to compromise the thieve’s Guild’s hideout (a tavern where every corner is the dark shady corner) by leading a celebrity gladiator to it. So the party was tasked to go up a mountain and enlist some Dwarf stonemasons to construct a super cool new hideout and keep their lips shut about it. While I have a few encounters planned to add to the world building, I also have the party roll two d10 on the Xanathar’s encounter tables to ease up on session planning. I have planned that when the party goes to long rest on their way back the first one who takes watch will be approached by one of the dwarves and promptly stabbed. The dwarf in actuality being an intellect devourer who has a buddy hiding in his bag looking for a new host. (I had ways to eject the party from the encounter if things went belly up.) So on their way down the mountain I have them roll on the encounter table. Suddenly a CR 6 monster appears before my level 3 party. The encounter table came up as a cyclops. I think quickly of what it could be doing there. Ok it is a peaceful cyclops guiding its herd of giant mountain goats home after a day of grazing in the hills below. My party then begin talking about killing it. I begin to consign myself to tpking these fools. They set up an ambush and deal about thirty damage to it with one of them (Gert) even throwing some dynamite. Combat starts and the rogues cunning action hide. Elliot far surpasses the cyclops’s perception check whereas Gert spectacularly fails and gets taken out by a rock. Egoc soon is also down leaving Elliot alone to abuse cunning action hide and the cyclops’s low perception to whittle down the monster. The cyclops having no way to find Elliot begins grabbing the unconscious party members and makes a break looking to scale down the mountain side. He’s leaning over the edge about to head down when Elliot gets the killing blow. I now make Egoc and Gert tell me odds or evens to see what happens to them as the giant holding them dies. If they call correctly then they land on the mountain path, if they call incorrectly they fall off the mountain side. Of course one calls odds and the other calls evens. Gert goes off the mountainside. He doesn’t fall far enough to kill him outright and I assure him that he is not dead. As those words leave my mouth however I remember the intellect devourer encounter and the fact that I now have two unconscious player characters ripe for the devouring. So instead of taking his character from him I now have him playing as an intellect devourer spying on the city to make way for an illithid invasion. The worst part about this is that his intelligence score has been reduced to 12. He is playing an Arcane Trickster. I have to give him a headband of intellect. Later that session they blew up a troll with dynamite and captured a Pegasus using paralytic poison.

I love your little tales, I’d love to play at your table

i could never play with a clown party bro. its just making fun of your hard work in my eyes

plz do more of these sorts of videos

I bet if they instead ask the big frog to herd his sheep for reward he would bestow them a favor for anything they want.

because of the god damned snakes.

MORE!!!

Oh look big frog banderhop

At least the players don't try to light the sheep on fire. My players have a poor track record with such things...

Thanks for the video.

I feel this so hard.

This is good. They are smart.

Bro took my Mops (moss sheep)

poor goblin paladin... I know too well the difficulty of being the only reasonable person in a party of pure butthole.

Thanks for showing crater lake :3 It’s a pretty place huh?

Oh hey your notes look exactly like mine. Plain text in google doc xD

d&d storys are wondefull.

that ended up nice c:

Cool

Cool video

Aww

no way

LMFMA When you said a banderhob shepard in the Nothic video, i imagined LIKE A PRIEST😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 imagine a mass of croaks and bellows

Idk if it means anything, but I find the fact that the picture you used for the party's island just so happens to be in a volcano caldera... 🤔

I want to play a campaign with you as our DM so bad now ☺️

The volcano in the middle of Crater Lake is a safe place? Interesting world you've got there.

I’m Mr Banderhobb look at me!!!

Grade A One Piece joke to round out the video, hell yeah

Is Pumpkinhead a Banderhobb?

snore

BOO!

Sus

Oh hey, I'm one of the first people here... neat

wtf

Why is the question in the thumbnail not answered?
