Mutant Crawl Classics @ gencon

Me - A Planient (sentient oak tree) with a mutation that turns me into gold
Another player - A shaman whose deity is a technogod computer

We were taken captive by a cult leader. After claiming to be even more powerful prophets, our execution was quickly slated.

The shaman prays to his computer god and crits. The god grants him immense strength in the form of a powerarmor exosuit. I turn into a solid gold rod. The powershaman picks me up and uses me as a bat to tee-ball the cult leaders head off.

Friend Computer provides, citizen.

Back in community college my group'ss DM had two D20s he'd customized with like a dremel or something: one that had only 19 20s and a 1 and one that had 19 1s and a 20. He'd let you roll the good one once per session but in return he'd make you use the bad on one roll of his choosing.

This is an awesome idea.

Well, I guess I'll bring some more wrassletales. I am too in the goon game, playing as Javier aka Fragata, the Luchador.


He's a third-generation luchador, so he literally grew up in the biz. The thing is that the gimmick of his family promotion is that everyone there has a bird-themed mask and name, and the callbacks and jokey references have reached the point where I enlisted comedy wrestling master Ganso Sin Nombre as help for a match.

Backstage I've somehow managed to avoid most drama, which has made Javier one of the reasonable people in the locker room, which is hilarious as he's a dyed-in-the-wool carnie, probably incapable of surviving in polite society, and perfectly willing to put his personal safety in jeopardy if he thinks it'll lead to good lucha.

The big storyline I've concluded has been saving our giant jobber's career by training him and having him debut as the hoss luchador Casuario to help me take revenge on the heels that had kidnapped my PC's grandfather, the original Fragata.

I'm one of the more diehard wrestling fans in the game, and I must say that writing up matches in the system is a delight, it doesn't constrain what you can try to do but has you live with the consequences.

Oh my god he has a literal pepperoni nipple, it’s amazing :discourse:

According to my DM, I am not allowed to hire a goblin to follow the PC's around and steal the verbal, somatic, and material signs of the Wizard in order to have the goblin bang on a drum during a fight with the Big Bad to let them know which spells are incoming and if they're worth Counterspelling.

The idea of a Goblin base coach has now embedded itself into my consciousness and I cannot dislodge it.

I was DMing a game in Roll20 and removed juuust a little too much fog of war, revealing a bit of hallway behind a hidden door. Of course the players suddenly became very interested in investigating this wall.

They roll their perception checks.
6, 8, 8, 9.

Nope, nothing weird here! No you can't investigate the wall again, you're really quite sure that it's a normal wall! Never seen them so frustrated.

That’s what they get for trying to metagame. In our rogue trader group, only the ork managed to succeed a forbidden lore check to recognize the tyrannids we just fought, and his knowledge of them is in an extremely orky context. The players all know that the stasis tubes we recovered have rippers in them. Since our characters don’t, we are going to do the logical thing and sell them to a slave trader so we can restaff our miserable clusterfuck of a colony after the dark eldar depopulated it largely consensual promethium refinery following a mysterious manpower shortage.

I’ve been running a roll20 campaign for a few weeks now and I’ve been trying to put my finger on why it feels off somehow. Sure, it’s remote and sure voip is flaky at time but this statement really captures it.

When someone does something cool/weird/funny the room explodes with laughter and ad-libs and side comments that just pile up as noise online. I’ve never noticed it before but, even when you are talking one-on-on with someone you are always aware of all the other conversations going on. The lack of that awareness really puts a damper on the flow of energy in a “room”.

Have you tried using discord? It feels like the audio wonkiness is minimal and my group and I have a great time talking over each other and laughing at some idiotic thing we’ve just pulled.

The killer should start seeing the victim’s reflection instead of their own from time to time, but only when the rest of the party isn’t around. This should happen infrequently at first, and the reflection should start by showing Not-cissus in his final, ruined state. But bit by bit over time, his visage changes, gradually healing; it begins to stare accusingly at the killer, or mockingly when appropriate. And one day, when his face is fully restored, it becomes asynchronous. Smiling from ear to ear, it reaches out of the mirror...
