No but at least these players actually got to the point where they have a functioning party and are actually playing. I call that a good game already

"You are telling me the answer to the puzzle was just open the door?"
Dm: it was never a

[KhaosOfJersey]

When you have more character sheets than the number of pages in your d&d books combined

[RIVERSRPGChannel]

I totally get that “I finally get to role in a something I’m proficient at, And I Failed”!
Good stuff

[mazie]

“All we had to do was open the door” I recently had a session and we were breaking into this hideout. We get to the final door, but as we step near it, a wall falls down behind us and this small room we are now stuck in begins to fill with water. I check the door for traps (none) and try to see if anyone has any lock picks (we don’t have a rogue). Our artificer has some and tried to unlock the door. Our DM looks us dead in the eye and says “Congratulations, you just locked the door…”
So we had to re-unlock the door and finally run into this room, spilling water everywhere. The people inside just stare at us like we’re idiots (which we are).

I once thought bout turning my unused characters into a free resource online. I was going to call it "1, 000 NPC's for quick reference".

Fun story about puzzles: a friend of mine once ran a session with a puzzle and when it came up - he just silently put an hourglass on the table. The players kept debating an experimenting to solve the problem, but every once in a while my friend woould just flip the unfinished hourglass and start the timer anew.
It took them nearly an hour to realise that my friend was flipping the hourglass each time one of the players stood up from the table; and all they had to do to solve the puzzle was to sit tight until the time in the hourglass runs out.

House rule: when a dice is dropped all other players shout "FLOOR DICE DONT COUNT!" Its loads of fun

[DarthChocolate]

Shortly after the "dropped my dice, ooh that's a good roll, can I keep it?" should have had a "dropped my dice, ooh that's a bad roll. Doesn't count off the floor, right?"

[snappingshrimp]

Man, I felt everyone of these but the puzzle one is so relatable. My players where searching for another solutions because "of course it can be that simple" and the "puzzle" wasn't even a puzzle, they legit just needed to walk to the next room

[Magnusfury]

"Wait... Potions of healing are how much?"
*Mr Monopoly laughs maniacally in price spikes*

[Probably_my_Alt_Account]

The best part is there’s always that one skill you have an abysmal modifier in, yet it keeps hoarding all the good rolls.

“I rolled a 17 on arcana.”
“Alright, what’s your modifier?”
“With proficiency, that makes it a total of 17.”

DM: Relentlessly teases players for taking 30 minutes to open doors.
Also DM: Traps a perfectly normal door and asks the half-dead wizard why they were dumb enough to just open it.

[triwagon]

The 'and i wasnt even needed for this session... ' hits on a personal level XD

[darthchaos.]

Or if you're a Warlock then it's short rest over and over

[alextang]

I love how the 30 more races isn't even sarcastic lmao

[thomascleveland]

Beginning of the next session:

“So you guys are attacked in the middle of your long rest. Cleric, your AC is 9 because you can’t sleep in heavy armor…”

1:06 literally just had this problem last week. There was a floating mirror and a bunch of mirror sized spots on the wall with numbers over them. When you put the mirror over the spot it would show a different room on each side with something inside the room. I said what if we smash the mirror? Our Druid said “no! We need to think through this!” Eventually they figured out the numbers correspond to a letter in the word of whatever was in the room. Like room 1 was a snake, the letter was S. So eventually it spelled smash. We had to smash the mirror. I flipped my shit at the Druid.

[gabrielgomes]

1:16 is so true. It also lacked the follow-up: "wait, wait... The potion of healing heals only a D4?"

[CreamAle]

1:06 that's actually brilliant... Make an extremely complicated looking puzzle room with all sorts of levers, pressure plates, rotating statues, glowing runes, blood rituals and all that jazz...

The solution.. you just had to jiggle the doorknob just a bit and the previous "puzzle room" was just a salesman's sample for dungeon builders 😂

Edit: corrected autocorrect..
