Players spend 1.5 hours planning how to assault a pirate ship, get swallowed by sea monster on the way /u/Lagom1s DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Context: I play in a pirate campaign, our DM is fairly new to DMing. Party gets information about a ship carrying Mcguffin we need. Players then spend 1.5 hours discussing how we should steal Mcguffin from a pirate ship. Once we form a plan that looks the least suicidal, we begin making it the reality. We then get swallowed by a sea monster, obviously the DM intented for us to not spend so much time thinking about it.

We all agreed that it would’ve been a bit stupid and immersion-breaking to not spend at least some time thinking about it, but it still feels weird to make so big of an effort planning for something for it to just be in vain.

If you were the DM in this position, what would you do? Do you hint the party that desinging a complex plan in unneccesary? Do you roll with it and consider planning time to be cool roleplay moment?

And what do you think about the situation as a whole? If this happend at your table, how would you react?

What’s your favorite DnD character that you’ve ever made? /u/AwkwardLaw1125 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Honestly, I’m new to DnD and have never played it. I‘ve been invited recently to play with some friends, so I kinda just wanna know what some characters are like to evaluate how to make my own. Thanks to anyone who answers!

My favorite DnD moment /u/Key_Bread_8965 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

My favorite DnD moment /u/Key_Bread_8965 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Okay, there’s a strong possibility nobody will read this and I’m fine with that. I just wanted to post the story somewhere because it’s the best moment in DnD I’ve had thus far.

So, for context, my character is a wooden marionette that’s possessed by the soul of a sorcerer who died hundreds of years ago. He was brought back to life spontaneously after a barabarian found the box the marrionette was stored in. He was certain that the barbarian had brought him back to life and due to his lawful-type alignment, he stuck to his morals and started following the barabarian until he could repay his debt to her (which is something he does with everyone he feels he’s in debt to).

Basically the BBG of the campaign was the goddess of strife and necromancy. During our first fight with her she immediately zeroed in on my character and paralyzed him with magic. She then priceeded to tell him that she was the one who brought him back to life and she wanted him to join her and turn his back on the other people of the campaign. The conversation went as follows:

“Without my magic, you’d still be dead, little puppet. Join me and I’ll return your human form.”

My character, obviously shook, looked over at the other members of the campaign. Unsure of what to do, he speaks to the goddess. “My lady… I’m still in dept to the barbarian of this campaign. I can’t just turn my back on her.”

The goddess looked annoyed. “You owe nothing to that brute! I was the one who brought you back, not her! But fine, if you wish not to serve me, I hope that in a hundred more years you’ll have changed your tune.”

She then proceeded to rip my character’s soul out of the marionette and hold it as my body collapsed.

Luckily, the party ended up being able to get my character’s soul back into the marrionette, but it did leave him very shaken up.

So excited to continue playing this story!

I swear to god, the dice KNOWS my stats /u/Few_Assumption_1300 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I swear to god, the dice KNOWS my stats /u/Few_Assumption_1300 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I’m not even sure if this is the right tag, but I wasn’t sure what else to put.

So basically, most of my stats are pretty good, except Charisma, which is a 7 (a -2 modifier). I don’t think I’ve ever rolled higher than a five on a charisma roll. I rolled with advantage and still rolled a three. With my modifier, I’ve gotten several NEGATIVE numbers.

The dice knows. It fucking knows. This degree of bad luck is improbable.

How would you handle ready action before the fight starts? /u/Nitroshots DnD: Roll for Initiative!

How would you handle ready action before the fight starts? /u/Nitroshots DnD: Roll for Initiative!

So I have a wizard player who ready’s action before the fights starts, when something is very suspicious he goes ”ill ready action (i.e fireball if an enemy appears.”

The problem is that he launches the attack, then we roll initiative, and he attacks again so 2 actions in 1 turn. How sould you handle it?

[OC] Had a Christmas themed session this past weekend. One of my players took what I think is my favorite picture that has been taken of our sessions. /u/Hot_Asparagus2783 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

The timing of the picture as one of my players is setting down their miniature, the fog, the bit of clutter in front of my DM screen (snacks and drinks end up here from my players), and angle as the players arrive to this encounter out for he mist.

Great session and just wanted to share!
