people who play joke characters for the whole campaign

yeah I'm like the 300th person to make this joke but we all know it's the truth.

and hey, Colton's twitch! He's live right now!:

5:07 ...."Death Ward"
"I COMPLETELY FORGOT"
That's such a legitimate DM moment and the epicness is tangible.

Had a friend play a fighter with 6 int named Victory or Die. We all laughed as he yelled "Victory or die!" fighting goblins in our first session. Many sessions later, we all cried as he whispered "It's victory or die, my friends." cutting a rope that sent him and the BBEG tumbling off a floating island 2 miles in the sky.

Joke characters accidentally becoming deep and complex is honestly one of the best parts of dnd.

Here we see a perfect illustration of the large difference between the "shitty joke character by the player who tries to mimic deadpool by always doing random things" and the "awesome character who just happens to be named Cumwagon The Fartgotten."

You know shits wack when Boblin The Goblin has the table in tears when he scarifies himself to seal the portal to Avernus

Currently playing a barbarian who got into Strixhaven through a football scholarship and is convinced he is a wizard, I was gifted an ability that if anyone denys my wizardy claim I fly into a 1 round rage

When Jacob plays everyone in a skit, I just sort of accept it. When he plays everyone _but one, _ it really stands out to me.

As someone who's main character is a skeleton named "Skeleton Archer #3" this fits me way too well.

In one recent campaign, a player made a cleric that was all one huge "PRAISE THE SUN!" joke.
He ended up becoming the most dramatic and tragic character of the group. The whole party would be willing to lay down our lives for this man.

Morale of the story:
Joke characters are fine, as long as you don’t ruin the campaign with stupid antics.

My dad just made a Pokémon trainer build. And it has a shield guardian, wildfire spirit, drake companion, conjure animals, and magic items that let him summon more things

In my first campaign, I told all my players to not make joke characters. You could have stupid things about your character, but nothing entirely encompassing. When I was explaining it to one of my friends during session 0, he said "So, your backstory couldn't be 'I was a professional table licker?'" and now we call all joke characters table lickers.

The Ballad of Cum Wagon. Cried the whole time.

When everyone tries to be serious, it always gets goofy af, but when everyone makes joke characters, its the most serious campaign you play in your life

[Mr_Dandy_Lion]

My longest running character, and most nuance, started with a joke. "I want to do a Kermit impression for my RP."
And thus Kermie Frogman, the folk legend, the halfling cursed with a froggy visage was born.

Kermie is an unending well of positivity and heroism. He doesn't stop. His bravery knows few bounds. He always gives 110% of himself. But also he's pleased to make your akermtance and he hopes you have a frogtastic day. He'll kerm to your rescue without question.

I got to the end and said “where are the other two” before realising a second later that I am a dumbass. I got so invested I forgot you were playing 3/4 of the characters in this skit, Jacob, bravo

"The dragon turns to dust."
Also
"The dragon's corpse..."
Love it.

Not in D&D, but in Cyberpunk, I once had a friend who played as Ian D.B., a netrunner who encountered a glitch while jacked into a filming company's servers, erasing his memory and downloading the entirety of the company's script database, leaving him only able to communicate through movie quotes. In the fifth session, Ian shut a door closed behind his party, and broke the digital lock to prevent it from being opened in order to save them from a bunch of heavily mutated sewer rats chasing behind them. He yelled at the top of his lungs "You don't seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you, YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!" as he pulled the pin on a white phosphorous grenade.

When my players all have very serious characters in a dark campaign, but there's one character called Sherlock Gnomes who is an inquisitive rogue gnome. It's fun.

Everybody knows it's tradition to wear the same clothes to the 1st and the 20th sessions of your campaign
