Larian Makes Fun of DMs

The biggest threat to the entire D&D party.

Scene from the updated epilogue at camp.

[Shadest]

The real reason Durge started killing people was because he got sick of all his friends canceling on him.

[toddacious]

Ah yes, the deadliest TPK:

Scheduling

[JamesTwice]

My dnd group is on hiatus till 2024 due to scheduling, so I feel this deep in my soul.

[pipwolverine]

I laughed pretty hard when I saw this dialogue option 😂

[GallowEye]

I shit you not, I've never finished a single campaign because of this lol.

[eayliver]

My favorite is the intereaction with the fairy from the lantern when you need her to recast her protection on you.

'Now say the magic words!'
>'We're all just puppets in a show that's directed by a madman.' (or something like that)
"You're not supposed to know that!" lmao 😂

[Arkay]

I never thought a SCREAM could be my spirit animal...

Yet after +7 year of DMing... Here we are

[sebastjankrek]

That squint in the end is fucing gold lmao

A lot of the time it is about consistency. Two ways to deal with this:

- Run the game, even if players are missing. Best case they will feel a bit bad that they missed a session and start making time.
- If you feel uncomfortable with the first one: Do someting on game night no matter what. This way it becomes a habit and people won't make free time for nothing.

We play for 3 years now alternating between 2 main campaigns. Currently a player (that was sadly one of the focus characters in my campaign) had some stuff going on, so we play a few oneshots in between. And If his stuff keeps us from playing. His story arc will be on hold. Btw best tipp to keep the game going. Never make one character the focus for an arc. This is something that can be the best way to play tabletop, if everybody is 100% committed, but if you have flakers dont.

Every experienced DM and Player knows... The greatest boss and bbeg of every D&D game isnt gonna be a dragon, or some mega-necromancer... No. It's the SCHEDULING BOSS. CR 9001.

[WastelandBard]

The way I cackled at that dialogue option! *cries in campaign that took 4 years when it was supposed to be two or three weekends*

[ZafiroDoesGames]

I’m laughing while being punched in the gut repeatedly, that’s what this feels like

[enriquejoseantequerasanche]

I'd say it's less "make fun of" and more "laughing at the shared pain"

[Felony]

I feel this in my soul, me and my friends went out just a week ago after planning and cancelling again and again for a whole fu*king year 😭💀💀

[emperorxander]

Wish they had her look dead eye into the camera for that

[crazyblade]

As a W.O.W. Raid leader of ten years. This is so true, getting 20-40 people together at the same time is the hardest boss.

[BenjiByt]

In the middle of a 3-4 week hiatus and I feel this

[williampearce]

...It's times like this that I remember my group is abnormal. We've been on a consistent schedule for... three years now?

[MostLikelyMortal]

I burst into laughter and then into tears when I saw this dialogue option/conversation

[manbagan]

I wasn't prepared for an emotional attack on this level when I first saw that dialogue
