>>49332943
>>49332952
It's a meta reference outside of the games intrinsic universe, "a Demogorgon" is just as proper of a way to refer to it because it's not referencing any specific edition, but all editions, thus all versions of "the" Demogorgon.

>>49332916
1982 to 2002 = millennial.

>>49333000
So are you saying your retarded ass says "A Orcus" rather than "The Orcus"?

It's a proper noun. Edition doesn't come into it.

>>49332889
In AD&D, a fireball could do 120 points of damage at 20d6.

So, yes, it's entirely possible.

>The Hitler
>The Freddie Mercury

>>49332916
What show is this?

>>49333058
I'm pretty sure Demogorgon is a prince of hell, not just one of those bastardized dnd monsters

>>49333061
>An Orcus
>An Obama
>A Trump
>A Hitler
>A Freddie Mercury

>>49333026
No one would argue for "a Orcus", it would be "An Orcus".
And what if youre referring to the multiverse at large?

>>49333026
No, you retard, because it would become "AN Orcus"

You don't use "a" before words that start with a vowel sound, dipshit.

>>49333103
I was point out that "An" and "The" are unnecessary since the person in question is a singular, unique individual.

>>49333090

Did they have multiple editions out by the time the show takes place?

"Wow, a Hitler!"

>>49333103
>An Obama

All of those would fit in some context or another when dealing with multiples. The reason they aren't is because there is only a singular Obama. There's multiple Demogorgon's within the context of the meta game.

>>49333134
Nope. 2nd used the same basic rules as 1st.

Heh, for shits and giggles I once made a 3.5 epic wizard that was level 50 or something and took feats to get to the point where I could Energy Admixture all the damage types onto an Intensified Delayed Blast Fire Ball. If I recall correctly it would have done several thousands points of damage.

>>49332889
That show, what a massive disapointment. Maybe it could had been a good 2-3 hours movie. 8 episode for the generic as fuck "horror-mystery-supernatural" show.

Technically, but there were multiple editions out. the 1974 version and then the two separate AD&D editions, which they made a point to specify which by making AD&D called AD&D 2nd Edition.

This is some really bad bait.

>>49332916
It's a cheesy, at times horribly written nostalgiafest highlighting the worst tropes of the 80's. It's still the most fun show I've watched in a while.

If you were referring to a single individual, you'd either just use their name:

>Oh look! It's Demogorgon
>Hey there Orcus
>What's up, Freddy Mercury?

And at best you might use 'The' when when you think the name might be more like a title, or you want it to carry some weight.

>Oh shit, it's The Demogorgon
>We worship The Orcus
>The one, the only, it's THE FREDDY MERCURY

Using 'a/n' is weaksauce and would only be used if you are specifically referring to one of multiple.

>NO WAY A FUCKING WIZARD COULD KILL A DEMOGORGON WITH A SINGLE FIREBALL
>Relax, it's just an Orcus
>Are you a Freddy Mercury fan, or a Prince fan?

The argument that >>49333000
is just retarded. Demorgorgon is a name. So OP should have said:

>NO WAY A FUCKING WIZARD COULD KILL DEMOGORGON WITH A SINGLE FIREBALL

When in doubt, replace it with Batman. If it still makes sense and sounds like you're referencing the DC character and not a race of winged batpeople, you're good.

>NO WAY A FUCKING WIZARD COULD KILL A BATMAN WITH A SINGLE FIREBALL
>NO WAY A FUCKING WIZARD COULD KILL THE BATMAN WITH A SINGLE FIREBALL
>NO WAY A FUCKING WIZARD COULD KILL BATMAN WITH A SINGLE FIREBALL

See how one of those examples seems silly?

>>49332889

Yeah, that occurred to me. But someone recently taught me a better* way to handle plotholes and such. Instead of thinking "the show is wrong and I can't enjoy it now," think "this happened on the show, are there any ways to interpret it that make sense?"

For example: the kids had spent hours in the basement hunting Demogorgon. The first time they found it, they injured it but had to retreat. The second time, they forced the fiend to retreat instead. They push deeper into the lair, and it ambushes the wizard! He has a choice to make: play it safe, or try to finish the beast off with one final attack?

*this method makes you less irritating to be around.

>>49333240
>It's better written than the majority of shows I've seen the past decade or so.

A show can still be terrible if all you watch is shit.

>>49333249
>Are you a Freddy Mercury fan, or a Prince fan?

You realize that makes complete sense, right?

>>49333249
You MIGHT be right, but how much prep time does The Bat have for his fireball spell? This is crucial, need to know information.

>>49333292
That's why he said it made sense.

Neither is The Soprano's, doesn't mean it's not well written.

>>49333375
>Wait, then what was the point of his post if he was just proving the point that it's fine?

He was pointing out that you use 'A' for multiple.

There is only one Demogorgon.

The argument that 'but there are multiple editions, so using a Demogorgon is fine!' is bullshit because in each edition there would still only be one Demorgorgon - at least any edition relevant to this discussion.

Since OP is making a rules complaint, he has to be referring to a single edition - as it would be retarded to complain that the rules work differently in different editions.

So 'A' Demogorgon is just as wrong as using 'A' Batman, 'A' Jesus Christ, 'A' Freddy Mercury.

The example he used was 'A' Freddy Mercury Fan. As in - one of many. Not 'A' Freddy Mercury.

>>49333264
>*this method makes you less irritating to be around.

>being so full of yourself that you don't realize it's a thinly veiled /tv/ thread on /tg/

Not being pretentious is also a metho that makes you less irritating to be around ;)

>>49333445
There is only one Demogorgon.

Only in the context of the in-universe game.

Even in the show they refer to it as THE Demogorgon, demonstrating that it was merely a creature with a title.

So if you want to keep going after technicalities, then fine, I will.

>>49333202
Was he the only attack made on the Demogorgon, or the only attack seen?

Also: is that a Ral Partha Demogorgon?

>>49333445
>Since OP is making a rules complaint, he has to be referring to a single edition - as it would be retarded to complain that the rules work differently in different editions.

Are you implying that there is some official edition out there that would result in a single fireball killing "A" Demogorgon?

>>49333292
Except "Freddie Mercury" and "Prince" are adjectives describing "fan" in that sentence, so it's completely irrelevant to the point they were haphazardly trying to make.

>>49333489

We don't know whether the kids had previously encountered and wounded the Demogorgon. Since A) they knew what it was as soon as the DM described the noise, and B) a single fireball could finish it off, it's not much of a stretch to assume they'd already encountered it and done some damage.

So, no, probably not one fireball's worth of HP total, just one fireball's worth of HP remaining. Making "do I defend, or do I go hard and try to end this?" an actual tactical choice.

>>49333467
>Even in the show they refer to it as THE Demogorgon, demonstrating that it was merely a creature with a title.

Yeah, like 'THE' Freddy Mercury, or 'THE' Jesus Christ.

Can you think of a sentence where you would use 'A' to refer to a single person by their name?

>Well if it isn't A Michael Macke.

That shit just doesn't work.

Using 'THE' on a singular is fine, kiddo. Learn you some grammar.

Yes, like when it's in the context of a meta-analysis, where all names are insignificant in terms of their overall attributes.

You could kill anything with one hit if it only had one hit left.

Or are you of the mind that the kids know each other and the monster manual so well that they can figure out that the attacking monster was Demogorgon based solely on the GMs description?

Ahh, cool so there is a precedence within the setting for there to be multiple Demogorgons

Think before you troll. The best trolls are the ones people don't think are trolls.

It can be assumed his was the only attack since the kids are freaking out about the "one fireball" killing Demogorgon.

>>49333670

No?

That's like saying there is precedence for multiple Jesus' based on source material.

There can be multiple articles that reference the same individual - but that doesn't change the fact they are referring to a single person or creature.

---

Actually, y'all are retarded in this thread.

Do the kids in the show ever refer to it as a Demogorgon, or just THE Demogorgon?

>>49333670
No. 1e and 2e have the same Demogorgon, and OD&D doesn't have him at all.

>>49333670

Except both those instances require multiple iterations of 'Jonathan' and as has previously been established, there is only one Demogorgon.

Here - use 'Jesus Christ' as your example, in the context of a name.

>Does anyone here know a Jesus Christ?
>Yea, I know a Jesus Christ.

See how that seems silly, given the context that there is only one Jesus Christ? That dialogue should have gone:

>Does anyone here know Jesus Christ?
>Yea, I know Jesus Christ.

Unless you think that because multiple editions have the same character in it means that there are multiple versions of that character, rather than multiple iterations of the same individual character.

For example - The Hulk. There are many different versions of The Hulk. Some are Bruce Banner. Some are not. But generally speaking, there is only ever one specific Hulk in the material covered.

>Does anyone in here know a Hulk?
>Yea, I know a Hulk

Is somewhat silly, in the context of The Hulk. Arguably less so if you include Hulk Hogan, but that's out of the remit of this discussion.

>Does anyone in here know the Hulk?
>Yea, I know the Hulk

Or even

>Does anyone in here know Hulk?
>Yea, I know Hulk

Your argument hinges on the logic that because there are multiple accounts of an individual character, that makes it the same as having multiples of that character in a conversation about a single one.

When clearly the kids in the show are only ever referring to the single Demogorgon of their game/edition/campaign.

Enjoy your (You). And try harder to troll next time. You get better results when it's not so obvious. Unless you're just the OP who wanted to defend their shitty grammar.

Oh, also -

MR in AD&D is a defensive roll, not an effect multiplier.

You also add 5% for every level the caster is under 11th, and subtract 5% for every level over, so if the wizard was 10th or lower Demogorgon is completely immune.

>>49333321

At least three seconds if he wasn't expecting Demogorgon. But he appears to have encountered it before and may be anticipating an attack.

And still wouldn't be correct, since I'm neither, you're the one writing short novels because you don't like how a word is being used, and guess what, OP is still correct in his usage, because none of that applies to his post or its intrinsic nature grammatically.

Get fucked, retard.

>>49334096
So are you saying that, if this thread is correct in it's likely deduction that they encountered Demogorgon multiple times throughout the dungeon and it was weakened, that at a given level, he would have had to roll higher than a thirteen?

By acting like someone else was being pretentious.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogorgon_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)

Why is there an argument over how many Demogorgons there are?

1. There is canonically one. It's a name.

2. It's these kids campaign. They can have as few or as many Demogorgons as they want. They could have legions of the fuckers throwing down with Orcus if they wanted.

Which makes no sense.

There are multiple versions of D&D out now, but you don't refer to creatures or characters in your campaign WHILST PLAYING IT by the multiple because there are other campaigns and editions. That's just silly.

It's even worse in context with the OP
>NO WAY A FUCKING WIZARD COULD KILL A DEMOGORGON WITH A SINGLE FIREBALL

If he's referring to every possible version or edition of the Demogorgon, then he's making the statement that there is no way in ANY of these editions or versions could the Demogorgon be killed with a fireball. Which is a ridiculous statement, I think you'll agree.

It makes more sense to assume that if the kids call it 'a demogorgon' then there is probably more than one in their setting and OP is arguing that demogorgons in that specific setting can't be killed with a single fireball.

>>49335196

I third Monsters and Other Childish Things.

Demo's not listed as unique, just "very rare." However, the kids in the show all recognize wossname's demogorgon model as soon as he plops it on the board, so it seems very likely that it's the only one in the group's possession. Thus, they refer to it as "the" demogorgon - and heavily imply that it's seriously wounded from previous encounters and thus vulnerable to a single FB spell.

Next, let's debate how Eleven's a proven serial killer, but it's okay because multiple murders give her a nosebleed, proving that she's the "real" victim in this adolescent passion play.

Seriously did nobody in this entire town give a single solitary fuck about whether or not this girl existed?

Unless we're on /k/, I'm going to side against tripfags every time, personally. Something about having a tripcode is just inherently cuntish. two cents

>>49335399
The system is like if Tristat dX had a baby with FATE that was raised by Cortex Plus

>>49337468
There are 3 basic stats: body mind and spirit

you generate a number of dice for your dice pool, your stats, equipment ect, and you have another dice pool for things that are working against you, your environment, your wounds ect and you take the difference from those two dice pools

If you have good dice left you succeed, if you have more bad die than good then you get "stress". If your stress exceeds the stress matrix in any attribute (3x3 boxes on 3 ranks for each attribute) then you die, go insane, give up ect. The more stress you get, the more resistance ranks you get to resist stress representing your character becoming numb to the world around them. If you want to get rid of stress, you can take "traumas" which is like aspect consequences of FATE.

>>49337212
>Demo's not listed as unique, just "very rare."

Isn't that how likely you are to encounter them, though? Like, Unique means you should only find them under plot relevant circumstances and very rare means they could just pop up occasionally?

>>49337234
>Depends on the group, doesn't it?

Fair 'nuff. It still feels silly to me. I know I'd look at my player funny if we were playing a game of CoC and someone shouted >YOU CAN'T KILL A CTHULHU WITH A SINGLE FIREBALL.

This. The kids probably don't know how to play the game properly, which is why they don't properly use initiative or anything. Think about it, when you were a kid of 11 or whatever and cracked open a d&d book for the first time, did you actually give a shit about the rules or did it just fuel the shit out of your imagination? It's actually kind of endearing and realistic, if you ask me.

Holy shit I'm so glad I'm not the only one bothered by this. I paused the show and went through my 1e mm because I couldn't believe it. Although I have to point out they killed the tessalhydra with a fireball not Demogorgon.

Ancient fart here who should probably not be on 4chan, but anyways...

I recall seeing AD&D 1st ed hardbacks, a couple of BECMI books and they mention a 1st ed module (Bloodstone Pass). To me, they were playing more or less like many of us played before the internet. DMs ran games with a mishmash of rules. One group might use Basic style d6 initiative for each side in combat, another use d10s plus speed factor, and yet another use d6s for individual initiative. Some groups rerolled initiative every round, some rolled it only at the start of combat.

Any discrepancy between the rules depicted in the show as opposed to the two sets of rules in the books depicted is natural - that shit was how everybody rolled. House rules. Maybe they had some Ardruin books too.

Jesus christ guys, the kids are prepubescent

Actually, it's an interesting debate as to whether the terminology they used when referring to Demogorgon was intentional.

The show isn't above dropping internal hints or references to itself - most evident in the epilogue of the kids campaign. The language they use for Demogorgon could be a tiny clue to point at the fact that there is more than one of these creatures in the Upside Down.

OR that it's only the Prince of Hell - that there might be an entire ecosystem there that it is at the top of. A thought that's substantiated by some of the events and reveals in the show.

>>49332889

It's a TV show.

They are like 11

But more importantly, anon, it is a TV show.

>>49332990
Propaganda, millenials are 1990 or later.

>>49340448

That's no reason not complain about it.

It's like saying that it doesn't matter that a game is unbalanced because "it's just a game", it may not be hugely important but it still warrants discussion and critique.

The Freddie Mercury is correct because Freddie Mercury is a title granted onto the son of god ever 10,000 years

I actually hadn't thought about it like that. I might have to give that end part a re-watch.

I hope /tg/ learned a lesson today on why we don't respond to tripfags.

They can't take dissenting or wrong opinions and just shut the fuck up and instead keep posting variations of "lel ur so mad kiddo" so that their pride isn't hurt and they don't come off wrong.

Every
fucking
time.

>>49342297
I've seen anonymous do that too

>>49343176
Sure, but the very fact that a poster feels the need to tripfag when it's not relevant to the thread is a red flag.

>>49342297
>as if anon is any better

>>49343176

with anonymous you can't tell if it's really the same guy or just a bunch of guys pretending to be the person you're replying to in a vouch to see how dumb the conversation gets.

Anon posters are a blank slate. They can be just as bad as a tripfag or can actually bring something good to an argument. A tripfag outside of their designated threads is ALWAYS a fucking cancerous piece of shit. Their trip is a brand to mark their autistic and attention whoring ways and you can always expect the worst out of them. Not just on /tg/ but on every board.

So don't respond to them. And if a anon is being retarded and obnoxious, how about not responding to them too?
