Yeah, no, that's pretty much my high school tabletop experience. Especially the dice cheating.

>>90837793
No, that's pretty accurate when playing with a DM who doesn't know what they're doing.

>>90838059
DMs can just say fuck it and change the outcome of die rolls anyway. It's not really cheating if it keeps the players on track or keeping them from doing dumb ass shit.

>>90838741
Well, sure, I'm as big a proponent of "progression and fun above rules and rolls" as anybody, but I think we've all experienced the kind of GM Dexter is meant to be a parody of. He doesn't bend the rules because he's trying to help his players progress, he does it because he enjoys the power trip of constantly screwing them over.

Hell, that's the whole reason his friends want Dee Dee to take a turn as GM- they want to see what it's like to play in a campaign they actually have a prayer of succeeding in.

>>90837430
This one was actually accurate though?

Anyway nerds always romanticize D&D because they've never actually played it but like the sound of it. It's always weird talking to people who would like to play it, but have the most baffling misconceptions about it or have played it once in a group that completely misunderstood all the rules.

I talked to a guy who once was nostalgic about his one D&D session where he played with 14 other players.

>>90837430
Because actual D&D would make for a super boring cartoon

>>90839965
I've played almost once a week for 3 years now. Gravity Falls was closest to most accurate, but mostly because of the jokes about it. Most shows probably have to fudge the details because Wizards of the Coast is anal about copyrights and D&D is an exceptionally complicated game that takes a long time to learn.

>>90839965
14 players? Christ, I bet only two or three of them had ever played before. I don't pity that DM, though; organizing a session like that is a conscious choice, one clearly borne out of ignorance.

>>90840111
>implying harmonquest wasnt amazing

>>90837430

The only thing that really strikes me as inaccurate is the way shows depict rulesets in games. Other than that, most of them are fine.

cause no one actually cares about it to the point of being accurate with it in cartoons

>>90838741
I disagree

If you're the GM and you want something to happen don't fudge the dice, don't even roll at all, just say it happens. You have that power, but once you roll the dice you're explicitly breaking the implied contract with the players that dice are only rolled when the result has meaning.

>>90839965
>It's always weird talking to people who would like to play it, but have the most baffling misconceptions about it or have played it once in a group that completely misunderstood all the rules.
Just like Monopoly!

>>90840630
Rolling the dice (especially if it's concealed) gives the players the illusion that there was ever a doubt of the outcome.

>>90839965
Gravity Falls's DnD was goddamn offensive. The game somehow has a rulebook the size of a dictionary and gameplay starts by making a line graph... and yet somehow the rules consist of "you can make up whatever you want!" Nevermind the fact that this is contradictory nonsense, it somehow got both extremes of the classic wrong idea of what the game is. And it has "banned" monsters, as if the game was competitive. I think someone had MTG in mind and thought it was all the same game.

They did get one thing right though, even if it was probably on accident. When you try to get people to play they get bored and zone out before you even finish explaining what the fucking game even is, much less how gameplay works. And they focus on some specific fantasy thing they want to do, like, "I want to be an elf!" or "I wanna ride a unicorn!" or whatever. BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE if they actually get them to play it, they find that an imagination game where you can do whatever is actually a lot of fun and not boring at all.

I remember Alex Hirsch saying the week that episode aired that he's never played D&D, he just worked with what people told him about it.

If someone has to make a long journey just say it happened, charge them for the passing of time, and only interrupt it if something interesting happens. What kind of long trip would your players be making that you hadn't planned for anyway?

>>90841577
>auction
Woah, anon. You're such a faggot.

>>90841577
That rule doesn't even make much sense. If it's a property no one wants, why have an auction and force someone to buy it?

Hey, lads! Wanna DnD here, right now?

>>90841787
Forever DM here. I normally travel between sessions. Like, at the end of one session I'll say, "Since you guys have decided to take a ship to Avonclear, we'll pick up next week stranded on the Isle of Woe." Traveling is boring, skip it when you can.

>>90840803
It's a really weak illusion. Either say it happens, or roll openly.

Don't be a damn pussy.

>>90842064
I do this, but if it's a dangerous area they're traversing I'll roll on an encounter chart. If I don't roll anything relevant than I'll just have them show up at their destination immediately.

>>90841972
You are legitimately fucking triggering me right now.

>>90841178
It wasn't Quintel, Pat McHale actually.
>I never did, actually! But one time back in my Flapjack days Pen Ward (creator of Adventure Time) and Pat McHale (creator of Over The Garden Wall) asked if I wanted to play D&D after work. I asked what the rules were, and they said, “It’s a game of imagination! There are no rules!” and then proceeded to argue about the rules for an hour and a half. I haven’t played since. But I should probably give it another try.

>>90842267
That would be a question to ask /tg/, but only if you want 400+ posts of angry arguments.

The actual answer is, "Whichever system you prefer playing."

>>90837430
Because an accurate depiction wouldn't be funny or interesting.

>>90842552
That's even worse of a miss-out.

>>90841949
I planned for long trips, but I guess not really much inbetween. Like I have a plan for my session in two days of players going to a sort of checkpoint to map out an unexplored region.

The trip is realistically a few days in game with remnants of civilization thinning out as they go across a large river. What plans for stuff like that? Have them stop at small settlements to rest as they come, and encounter various creatures as they rest in wilderness?

>>90842267

Depends entirely on what you want to do, since each system usually has a particular setting or game style that it's good at (while also being terrible at other settings or play styles). I'm not familiar enough with all the systems to give you the proper matching sets of what goes with what, but I can tell you the most malleable and most popular systems.

The most universal is GURPS, but you're going to have to do most of the legwork to adapt it to whatever you're doing.

Obviously the biggest kid on the block is Dungeons and Dragons, and within that you have people fighting over which edition is best (typically 3.5/PF vs 5), but it still maintains dominance through brand recognition alone.

This >>90842557
Each system has things that cater to specific settings and specific feels, so there is no one best system. And unlike vidya which generally has prewritten adventures and settings, this is up to GM discretion to utilize.

I know someone who doesn't like d@nda because he thinks it's a pretty basic game that doesn't deserve it's popularity. He relinquishes though that it's good for what it's made for. IE: A dungeon crawling adventure and not like a Space Opera.

>>90841362

Tournament play, nigga. The original Blackmoor campaign was still running up until the creator passed away. There were dozens of players, some of whom were either literally the children/grandchildren of the original players who were sometimes gifted if their character sheets.

If you want to try playing with random assholes on the internet, go to roll20 or some other site. Alternatively, go to /tg/, you can find a game there, either in one of the dedicated threads for one of the DnD systems or in a gamefinder thread.

If you want to play with real people, step one is to attempt to make friends.
Step two is hope they also want to play. If not, return to step one and acquire more friends.
Step three is fucking play.

>actual dnd

Harmonquest wasn't even close to actual dnd. It was guided improv with dice occasionally.
That being said, it was pretty good.

>>90843307
It was named by a couple of nerdy dads from the 70s trying to make as much stuff in their fantasy boardgame sound mystical and medievil sounding.

That being said, the item is basically like a bag from a cartoon; it's the size of a purse but the inside can be as big as an bedroom to a whole pocket dimension.

D&D even has cartoon portable holes. It was never as deadly serious as grognards and 3.5 player try to make it out to be.

>>90837430
because actual D&D is pretty damn complex and intricate and wouldnt be possible to explain in a single 22 minute cartoon?

>>90841605
idgi

>>90843786
I think the best way to do it would be to just do the game as you normally would, throwing around game jargon and all that, but have someone in the game that doesn't understand what the fuck is going on.

>>90843786
Well, the cartoon wasn't suppose to teach you how to play; it just happened to be set in a D&D world with the characters aware that they're particular player classes.

>>90843433
>>90843355
I also always wanted to try but no frieds. What about we try something?

>>90844172
What time zone is you. I'm pretty shit and need the practice

>>90843990
That would be hilarious coupled with whatever tactics the DM can come up with to discourage metagaming. I'm pretty fond of my own DM's method of
>As you discuss game elements, you feel the earth tremble beneath you. You don't know what will happen if you continue, but you get the feeling it will be very bad.

>>90843552
Because I was told it couldn't be done, and I wanted to create the biggest, most epic in scale campaign I could. So I gathered twenty players, six of whom quit over the years, and each of them played four characters, each from a different realm that united in the final adventures to defeat three arch-fiends who plotted to ascend beyond the power of the gods. The final battle took a month to play through.

It was glorious.

One of these days I'll storytime it on /tg/. It's just a shitton of text to type up, so I've been slacking.

>>90838250
In our early sessions, me and the dm came up with these weird timed bonding sessions if there weren't random encounters
It was to get the characters to know each other better, and we came up with some weird in universe reason for it too

They didn't go over well with anybody, and using resulted in the party splitting up for 1-3 hours

>>90837430

>I talked to a guy who once was nostalgic about his one D&D session where he played with 14 other players.
I have, in fact, played in such a game. The DM had an assistant DM who was in charge of all the numbers shit (tracking HP, comparing rolls to targets, shit like that) and the PCs had a "helper" guy who basically went around the table and made sure everyone was ready to go with "locked in" decisions so by the time it was their turn they just dropped the dice, the book-keeper DM would take notes and announce if something was dead or not. If something relevant happened the actual DM would narrate it.

It was a one-off. The LGS we played at was having a New Years party and they wanted that to be the thing.

I legit had a ton of fun.

because nobody has ever done a real D&D game. Gamemaster always has their own rules in some way

>>90837793
The joke:
Dee Dee doesn't really know to DM and is stalling for time. A thing that new DMs do all the fucking time.

It's actually accurate and funny to whoever played with a newer DM.

>>90846289
I think 3.5 kinda ruined the idea of "friendly round of D&D" for most people. Back in the day, you'd just pull out a module and your session would be trying to get through that module.

Imagine making a RPG character and then going into one of the bigger dungeons from Link to the Past, but with more monsters and a shitton more loot and that's what D&D was suppose to be, instead of these epic sprawling stories where you do have to dedicate time and effort into them.

I can't remember if I'm on /tg/ or not.

They've always done that.

The neatest variation to bags of holding was in the comic "Knights of the Dinnertable" where some Bags had a small chance to connect to a dimension that connected other similar bags.

>>90845810
Any good DM has a balance of rules and fantasy. You should be able to attempt anything you want because it's a game of imagination, but if there aren't rules and laws to the game, then it's arbitrary nonsense with no stakes and you might as well be sitting around making up ghost stories.

I mean you might as well try to pull some bullshit with it because god forbid you try to use it for actual storage and then the DM fucks you over with anti-magic. "Whoops, now it's just an ordinary bag and all your loot is in some other dimension where you'll never see it again."

incorrect; 2nd edition player's handbook (both original and revised printings) give it a casting time of 3, which is added to the caster's initiative roll (so some spells take longer to cast). Some spells do take multiple rounds (or turns, hours, days, etc.) to cast, but those are much higher level spells

Makes sense, considering the progenitor game (before it was spruced up and made into a less "preachy" kids game) was created by an ANTI-monopolist.

It was designed to show you how frustrating and bullshit it was when people could grow more and more powerful by concentrating land and money.

In 3.5/PF at least, anti-magic would just mean you can't access the pocket dimension part of the bag. It's still a bag, just like if you reached into someone else's bag without knowing the command word/trigger condition.

Also if the GM is penalizing you for buying one of the basic staples of the game, then he's a shit DM.

Seriously, though antimagic is weaker than dispel magic and even dispel will only dispel the activation of the bag for 1d3 turns.
Magic items can only be physically destroyed not dispelled.

I think it makes more sense if it was more like "Only a game designed by nerds would have Charisma as a power you could *quantify* " with a number value on it
You could try to measure strength by exactly how much you can lift, or dexterity by how accurately can aim a bow or whatever
How do you measure persuasiveness as a number

too much to fit as a joke though i guess

No. There's shit D&D simply isn't meant to do. You don't want to do a contemporary horror mystery story in D&D, or militaristic space warfare, or plenty of other things that aren't high fantasy. Just because you technically could write a book's worth of houserules to try to run something it's not designed for doesn't mean you should when there are systems much closer in design to what you want to run.
