>It's a "characters play D&D" episode >They

D&D and rpgs like it are much less about the rules and much more about the people you play with.

If an animation has shitty tropes about D&D its probably because the people that exposed them to it were shitty people.

Honestly, 90% of it should just be the GM bullshiting because the party mauled the BBEG halfway into the story and has no idea what to do

>>93405559
This episode is what got me into dnd. Dee Dee is the best DM

>>93405559
It's because D&D is shit tabletop and the moral of each episode should instead be that they decide to play something actually fun.

>>93405559
Egomaniacs don't like objective rules. It's why Freeform RP has rules like
>only the owner of a character can decide if an attack hits

>>93405815
>D&D is shit
t. kiddie who never played anything but WOTC D&D

>>93405559
>density of rules and math 'n shit is intimidating,
The hardest part of tabletop games like D&D and Pathfinder is initial character creation (mechanically speaking), and even then most core rulebooks give you simple step-by-step instructions (and even if that's too much for you, online tools exist that do the math for you). Once you have your character set up, any math you have to do is pretty straightforward, and any deviations to your characters stats (from leveling up, taking feats, etc.) is something any competent player should be doing already.

As far as how cartoons portray tabletop games, I'm not overly annoyed by it, because they are exaggerations of real life annoyances. There are asshat DMs who fudge their own rolls because they're faggots like Dexter, there are systems like FATAL that are fucking terrible and don't deserve to be played like the game in Regular Show. Honestly, what gets me most is when they half-ass the fucking basics of playing a tabletop game. Yes, you roll dice to determine whether or not you succeed at something, but there is a lot fucking more to playing a campaign than just "lol roll a d20 for four hours".

>>93405559
AND THIS IS WHY /tg/ will always maintain its quality.

Idiots are too idiotic to learn math and literature in order to create a quality game.
Luckily for us they also never try to pretend they know jackshit about following the rules.
/tg/ almost died before the create-your-own-story/quests got sent to their own board.

God I love /tg/. The last bastion of hope for humanity and the only good place on the internet, especially for an internet sewer known as 4chan.

>>93406174
>any deviations to your characters stats (from leveling up, taking feats, etc.) is something any competent player should be doing already.
I mean any competent player should be taking notes and altering their stats. Player sheets have feats/weapon stat sections for a reason.

>the only way to have fun is mindless hacknslash where the GM lets you win

The fun of tabletop comes from developing a story collaboratively. It's about making moments you'll remember forever. You can't get that from scripted games.

>>93405849
Luckily this thing is impossible to happen to /tg/. Not any retard can just pick up and play.

Can we get a /tg/ version of this?

My friends and I used to play D&D back in the day. Nobody ever complained about whatever happened during a session, and we always ended up getting completely plastered after a couple of hours. Then we started playing MMO's.

>It's a "characters play D&D" episode/comic
>The PCs look and behave exactly like the players themselves

Part of the fun is imagining a character who is different to yourself, although I do appreciate that this is neccessary shorthand to identify who is playing which character.

Have there been any examples (in cartoons or comics) where the RPG characters are very different to the Players?

>>93406174
>D&D
Stop implying that WOTC D&D is anything like TSR D&D, casual.

The DM is always a sadistic rules nazi though.

Pretty much every group I've ever had is held together solely on the fact that all of them want to play D&D. Best case scenario, you tolerate your gaming friends. Wost case scenario, you wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire. If you don't have a similar experience, I envy you. Yet, somehow the love of the game keeps you with these assholes you hate.

But i like those episodes

He is the only one who manages to not enjoy himself as the DM gives them a series of puzzle challenges and rewards them for success with happy endings to their arcs instead of a shit load of make-believe gold.

That's why I did free form collaborative RP on GameFAQs in the early 2000s. That and I never knew anyone who was interested in tabletop or stumbled onto any communities online. My only exposure to D&D was an arcade game.

And teej, before you say anything, yes my freeform experience was exactly as shit as you'd assume it was. Maybe worse at times.

Had a guy write that his character used a magical obsidian katana to carve his initials in my chest without a hint of irony. And for my part, I told him he was attacking an illusion because why the fuck not?

You COULD do an episode about characters overcoming adversity in the game caused by a fun-ruiner while still staying within the rules of the game, through teamwork, friendship and resourcefulness, but that would be HAAAARD.

I don't even play tabletop RPGs, but I don't like kids learning the lesson that if you don't like the rules of a game, just complain until the rulebook gets thrown out.

I'm rolling a pathfinder chaotic neutral human barbarian that's illiterate, afraid of swimming, and desires in life to eat the flesh of his stronger fallen foes to gain their power.

It's only cannibalism if same race dude.

>>93406139
>only the owner of a character can decide if an attack hits
I used to spend a ton of time in roleplay chatrooms in the late 90's/early 2000's and fought with these kind of rules.

So, if you threw a dagger at someone's chest you can't say it connects. But if you were a faster typer you can type another action in before the other person can type out a dodge response. If you do it quick enough it's assumed the first attack connects, unless the guy said he had a forcefield or something like that. It was dumb but I had a lot of fun.

>>93407213
Look kid, Im a seasoned player, some might even say that Im one of the best, if not the best, gamer this board has to offer. Dont believe me? I have over 400 hundred board games at my house, over a 100 at my arms reach right now. Card games? I got a deck for every possible combination of cards of M:tg, I even go to tournments and shit. No biggie. D&D? I'm proud to say that as a player I'm always the party leader, maxed as I can be and I'm not afraid of taking that extra edge that puts me ahead of enemies and allies alike. Hell, I got to get paid for having sex with hot girls and killing dragons with my expert builds. I like to shit on the GM one-directional adventures, by solving it with brains and brawl instead of one or the other, wether the party likes it or not. When Im the GM, Im proud to say that NO PARTY ever finished one of my adventures. Think you're gonna face some lazy sleepy goblins? Think again, they are fully trained comandos, that will attack and take full cover before you can do shit. Dont hate the player, hate the game. WH40K? My Ultramarines will anihilate you (each one of them have at least 5 page background that I wrote to enhace the fluff), so don't even get me started, kiddo, shit would blow your weaklings mind on how real it gets.
So, you listen, kiddo, and you listen good, because this will be a freebie.
For aeons roleplaying has been the key element of proplayers like me to actually do something in these games and tip scales to my side, I will get a lot of crap from retards saying that I dont have to hit everything or make enemies fail every save to have fun, but boy, thats some fucking wishfullthinkiing losers love. So, the baddie hit me with his attack...? I'll hit him harder, I'll backflip and and choke him with his own belt while unloading the whole clip of my katana-colt gunblade (which I made myself with my crafting skill, daring to go beyond what the setting wanted to chain me with) down his fucking throat.

>>93409649
That's not how a game works. That would be like the official rules of baseball saying only the person at bat can decide if they strike out or hit a homerun. Nobody throws a ball and nobody swings a bat, the player just gets to choose for themselves when they step up to the plate.

>>93408232

I would instant-teleport behind him and slice him up good, hitting all his vitals, while draining all his knoledge in a safe way. Now, knowing everything he knew, I would feast on my fellow players, that obviously would make poor contructed sentences that I would happily exploit to my delight and their butthurt.


>>93409855
There is 99% you never even played d20, I bet you dont even know how to minmax a druid for christs sake. So shut your mouth with that stale old as balls meme, you casual pleb.

I've been wondering lately how long it will be before so much "nerd" culture has been devoured and normalised by the machine that they have to come for tabletop. Surely it's far too dense and lacks enough mainstream appeal for them to ever try and rape it for shekels.

Tolkien was pretty racist and made them greedy money hoarders and racial recluses. Like the stereotype for jews at the time.
>>93411602
is right

>>93411758
Tolkien is not what dwarves have evolved into from years of D&D/Warcraft/bad video games
And Tolkien was the exact opposite of pretty racist. He wrote an angry letter to Hitler dismantling their the aryan fantasy and calling the jews a "noble people"

>>93411758
>It's the "but Tolkien did it" fag
Most settings with Elves, Dwarves and Orcs bear only a cursory similarity to Tolkien. He may have started it, but it's moved past him now.

>>93411864

Yeah he wasn't intentionally racist but he did make a series where all the super irredeemably evil people were coded as dark/black and all the pure good guys were white. Dude was from a racist time, what are ya gonna do

>>93411111
hehe, nice

>>93411111
I still can't believe that's real.

>>93411899
They were coded as green, no one in his setting was irredeemable. And let's not get into the long list of elven fuck ups throwing a wrench in their pure good guys motif

>>93411982
It's a good feel.

>>93411899
Light and Dark have always been thematically used for good and evil, and he had to make the Orcs super irredeemable so as not to offend his Catholic sensibilities when the main characters slaughtered them mercilessly.

Stop thinking everything's about you Nignog.

>>93411995
>no one in his setting was irredeemable.
Give me one good instance where an Orc showing a bit of goodness and humanity. Tolkien fucking invented the "Always evil Orcs" stereotype.

>>93412007
Orc slaughter did in fact offend his catholic sensibilities because, by those sensibilities, no creations of god are irredeemable. He could never settle on a canon origin for them because of it and noted them as one of his regrets

>>93411899
There are actually a lot of things in the text and in side-letters that indicate that "brown people being evil" thing is not entirely true. Notably, he describes the Harfoot hobbits (of which Sam is one) as having "nut-brown" skin.

>>93405559
Well, rolls are a part of the game, but it is a role-playing game, so emphasis is on role-playing, not rolling dice.


Like, if you've played games with people who are extremely autistic about rules, it can be unfun. Yes, they are important, they give games structure, but playing with people who do not roleplay and just care about dice rolls is the most cancerous experience ever.

For what it's worth, the study group made a decent effort in trying to play the game right.
They obviously didn't meddled in the intricate battle mechanics, but the RPing was pretty well done.

Pop culture has changed, degraded, and watered down these great characters so much that they don't even resemble themselves anymore.

The math 'n shit should be a vehicle to give some functioning rules to your imagination, I only played tabletop twice but the manuals I read state its more important to follow your imagination than being faithful to both the rules and lore which are just there to help.

At least originally, over time the mechanics aspect ended up being an end as of itself which is why there's also still RPG video games being produced.

>>93415713
This. The dice rolls and such are just to make it a game and help steer the narrative. If you have a good group, people work with the rolls. Sometimes it's fun to completely botch something your character is supposedly good at and try to improv a description of how/why you fucked up.

I'm sure you're super smart

It's a cartoon so you need some sort of visual cue for the viewer as to what's going on.

But comic books are an incredibly niche market whose main demographic, superhero fanatics, has only been shrinking for decades.

Unless, of course, that thing decides that your attacks don't hit.

Why must you fill me with despair anon

Running my first tabletop campaign in a week with friends, their first time too. Its rules light yo. We want to have fun and not to be suckered into something not so fun.

I'm always annoyed portrayal of tabletop never seems to get it right, but there are kernels of truth here and there. I do wish at least one example would show a positive environment instead of the tropes and arguments they always devolve into. Roleplaying games are fucking fun, man.

first of all go to /TG/ and ask why you need rules to play with your imagination

the first answer you will get is that you are a faggot, the second answer you will get is that DnD sucks, and the third answer you will get is that the purpose of games is to have fun, the rulebooks are there to give structure to your narrative, so you dont just point to the other player and say "you're dead, black leaf", but that if making origami out of the rulebooks makes it more fun go ahead

the endless rules are a guideline to have fun, so everyone is on the same page when it comes to deciding whether your action succeeded or not, but just like the codex astartes, it is helpful but not the end all be all of gaming, it works most of the time but every so often a situation comes up that is unclear in the book, and the DM has to use their better judgement

and yes, you dont NEED a handbook to play, but that is called cops and robbers

I feel like a lot of interesting comics are being made, and that there are more options than ever before.

Pop-culture always comes in and shits on everything, music, games, comics, whatever people can find to be 'cool'. Fuck 'em, just be encouraging and show people the good stuff.

>>93415126
You either don't play /tg/ games, or you have only experienced games where you were railroaded non-stop.

The best GMs need to be able to improvise on the fly, because even their best written plans will be tackled by players in ways that defy all rhyme or reason.

what the fuck is that

>>93405559
My favourite part is that they're always playing a game that only vaguely resembles D&D (which they are usually parodying) and instead feels like some sort of weird board game. At least half of every time I see one of these episodes in something, it's like a sports movie written by a guy who heard about a sport once.

>only the owner of a character can decide if an attack hits

A rule literally designed to stop egomaniacs from power-tripping with inevitable "John shoots Greg in the head eighteen times and laughs" posts. And it's only partially effective at doing so.

Ugh.

80% of games are bad and will play out like one of those stereotypes because the people involved are terrible. Animators are just depicting reality

There's nothing necessarily wrong with it. The goal is the same thing as with tabletop's, to create a fun narrative for everyone to deal with. The only problem is that it's ridiculously easy to abuse by edgelords and egomaniacs, so you see bad examples all over the internet. If you can get a group of friends who you know aren't shitters, freeform rp can be pretty fun.

>>93405559
Dungeons and Discords was great

>>93418689
again, it's better than nothing. at least the horse fisting and octopi-fucking is decent.

Have you tried not playing D&D?

No, real men are OTAKU ELITE and only consume moe media.
