> Playing in a spelljammer inspired homebrew setting using D&D 5e rules
> the earth exists in this setting and the drow are essentially space nazis who rule the galaxy
> beyond that, couldn't tell you much about the resto fthe setting, but it's not important
> Party consists of:
> Thokk, the Half Orc Fighter
> Gnome Druid (whose name I can't remember)
> Brother Seamus, the Mul (half human half dwarf) four elements monk
> and my character: Duster Eisenfaust, the dwarf barbarian/fighter with a shotgun.
> he spent around 50 years before the campaign stuck alone in a spaceship with nothing but a archive of 80's and 90's action movies
> basically obsessed with being as badass as is physically possible
> also accidentally became a stoner and is probably clinically depressed, but both of those are separate stories
> the campaign was pretty good, especially considering that it was the GM's first time running a campaign
> the most interesting thing happened at the very end of the campaign
> we had tracked down the location of the emperor of the evil drow nazi space empire
> the campaign was going to end due to most of the players leaving for school and we decided to end the campaign with a bang
> so we decided to jump our characters straight from level 6 to level 20
> We followed the evil emperor to the pyramids in real world Egypt where he had created a portal to the center of the galaxy
> Duster proceeded to jump into the portal with the rest of the party folowing behind
> We ended up on a platform magically suspended above a supermassive black hole
> the evil space nazi emperor begins to give his big villain speech
> Duster has none of that and blasts him with his shotgun
> the emperor is understandably pissed and proceeds to freeze time and drop a steamroller on Duster
> GM is a huge JJBA fan
> space emperor is literally just DIO

> the emperor focuses all his efforts on Duster, repeatedly freezing time and unloading all he can onto Duster
> Unfortunately for the emperor, I had built Duster to be as difficult to kill as possible
> high AC, tough feat, levels in barbarian, and a fighter ability that gave him regen when below half health
> the emperor literally never attacks anyone but Duster, but he still survives
> we go through several rounds loading shotgun round after shotgun round into the emperor, but he seemed to be largely unaffected
> GM explains how the emperor had traveled here to attain godhood and that he was effectively immortal
>well that sucks
> we come to the conclusion that the only way to kill the emperor was to shove him off the platform into the black hole
> Duster ran up to the emperor and proceeded to kick him back, slowly edging him back toward the edge
> Duster ends his turn standing in front of the emperor who is literally teetering on the edge of the platform
> Druid's up next
> she has the gust of wind spell, which pushes creatures in its area
> the emperor would be knocked into the void, but so would Duster
> Duster tells the druid to do it
> he knows that today is his day to die
> Druid casts the spell, Duster voluntarily fails his save and flies into the emperor
> he somehow makes his save, despite having disadvantage from having a 200 pound dwarf slamming into him
> Duster grapples the emperor, attempting to wrestle him him off the edge, but the emperor resists
> up comes Bother Seamus the Monk's turn
> he has an ability that can push at range, which he refluffed into the Kamahameha from DBZ
> he also hesitates: Duster is still grappling the emperor
Continued
>>
>Duster shouts at the monk
> "Do it, Send both of us to the void"
> monk launches the kamehameha
> the emperor crit fails his save
> both he and Duster and knocked off the platform
> Duster rides the emperor Dr. Strangelove style into the black hole
> the remaining party takes one final bong hit in Duster's memory
And that was the best way the campaign could have ended

Sounds like fun, was this your first campaign?
>>
>>54773258
Nah, though it was the first time I had played a character in a while. I'm almost always the GM.
