  • Usually it is one of two things. Either the person is just a toxic asshole who wants to fuck over everyone, which is not that rare or they think of themselves as a player as well a bit too much. While the Dungeon Master is a part of the game and a player, sometimes the line can get a bit blurred where it seems like the Dungeon Master is playing against you to win. Does not mean that they’re a bad dungeon master. Sometimes mistakes just happen or people get swept up, or other things they’re going on. Soft reminders like saying that you enjoy all playing the game together or other such language that makes it seem cooperative helps to extinguish this behavior from a dungeon master. Using language like you’re beating the dungeon master, even if it’s in a joking way, can instill that behavior in the dungeon master themselves.





  • I just thought of the most evil shit you could do with this.

    They buy the bag and it comes preloaded with a couple lil crocheted trinkets that are cutesy and like grandma made it for adventurers. A lil mealkit, a ration pack, a lil sword and shield but also a doll. As they slowly start to realize what the bag does they remember the doll and start freaking out about what if it was a person who went in there to hide and got turned and we gotta fix 'em! Ends up being a whole quest line to unfuck the bag, the bag items and specifically this doll. At the very end they undo the doll and it turns into a wooden doll. Then when laughter/disappointment just getting to the right point, have the doll talk. Get the joke of it being a doll and they get the expectation they wanted of it being a living being they saved.








  • I can’t see any of these working as intended. Clowns don’t subscribe to reality

    Spawn them as a distraction!

    Some of them cause a big distraction that accidentally points directly towards those you don’t want to be seen.

    Use them to hide!

    One of them will look giant and big to hide you while the others honk and gesture/point behind, clearly showing where you are.

    Build yourself a mountain of clowns to scale any wall!

    Crabs in a bucket. None will let you climb. You must stay to hear their jokes…

    Never starve again with their endless supply of pies!

    Shaving cream pies. Ain’t nobody got time to bake 30 coconut creams

    Use their weight to bring down any air-/ship

    They all blow up helium balloons to help it float. Unless you want it to float in which case their balloons turn into bowling balls at the last second with a big shrug.

    Air drop them on their enemies!

    See balloons

    Just crush your entire party by spawning hundreds of them in a closed room!

    Clown car logic. You’re all “crushed” but it’s just extremely difficult terrain.

    I didn’t even realize they had started Campaign 4. I sort of gave up on Critical Role partway through Campaign 3. Things started to drift from feeling like friends playing a game and having fun to friends making a production, at least for me personally. How is it?
