when the 'hard' puzzle is somehow too easy #dnd #ttrpg #animation #funny #dndskit

meanwhile tony's sitting on the other side of the table like "damn bro I think I'm in love"

Nobody reads descriptions. I might edit this later. sovowaat

HE DIDN’T EVEN TELL THE COLOR OF THE POTIONS

It’s always like that. Either the party spends wayyyy too much time on stupid shit or they rush through the story you had prepared for the entire session in 20 minutes.

Sometimes the party's smart brain cell wakes up and has an appearance for a minute.

"I hadn't even finished describing the room!"😂😂😂

[faryfxs]

I wanted an excuse to use ciphers because I'm a nerd, so I had the secondary villain's minions use an encrypted threat to ward off the players, and to solve it, they either had to get a 20 or higher on their investigation check, or actually solve the cipher in real life. You know what they did? Solved the fucking cipher.

YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY CLUES! WHAT DO YOU MEAN *CONTEXT CLUES* !?!

[eggalytheegg]

Omg, that reminds me of my DM's puzzle dungeon. We thought my stupid orc cook would be comedic relief, but he genuinely led the entire party through the easiest route in the dungeon by sheer dumb luck. He genuinely destroyed their whole enchanted darkroom puzzle because he brought torches.

Player totally didn’t peek at DM’s notes because of last session’s puzzle…

[frozenchicken]

My players basically needed to combine the colors red and blue, they where stuck for 15 minutes until i reminded them how colors work

i remember skipping an entire adventure estimated for 3-4 sessions from first being introduced to the plot directly to the boss fights by analyzing a poem. dm was proud of her poem, impressed by my analyzing skills and sad that adventure basically didnt happen she had put so much thought and time into planning

[AtomicF]

You know it's bullshit when you don't even finish telling the color of the potions 💀

"The room explodes, fuck you"

-my dm probably

Once my party spent an hour figuring out they had to move the colored candles to the corresponding gems on the opposite wall. Instead, they tried lighting the candles in order of ascending and descending value of the gems, tried lighting them in order of ROYGBIV, Alphabetical order of the colors and the gems and tried pulling them off the wall (great start) and burning the matching gem then put them back. When one of them finally said "wait we can move the candles, the druid did it earlier when we burned the gems" i could have cried tears of happiness.

My first DM put together this amazing puzzle where we didn't have all the pieces of it and we're supposed to go on quests to figure it out. even drown out on a piece of paper what we had and explained we didn't have all the rules. We managed to finish it in two hours. Sitting there talking it out and going over every aspect of the puzzle.

The cauldron explodes, your character is now missing the skin of their face, an eye and all front teeth.

Once, my Dm decided to throw a really hard puzzle at our party, and I am normally really bad at puzzles, but right after he described the room I said, “oh, so we just pull the lever, ”…
Dm: “l… lever?”
“Yeah, the table leg is a lever.”

[smoshrules]

This is like the infinite interns with doors

[justinfourie]

I love these shorts, makes me feel less bad about figuring out what the entire campaign is going to be when making session notes

[dxjxc]

That player either a) saw whatever source the DM took this puzzle from or b) looked at the DM's notes.

[erictoncray]

It’s the potion puzzle from Harry Potter. Or it could be the one from Brave.
