    Player: why do I feel that the entire universe is turning against me? All I wanted to do was kill literally everyone.

      My DM once gave me a cursed sword that required me to kill a humanoid daily.

      It then devolved into side bars where we had to negotiate taking a kingdom’s prisoners with us in the hold of a boat on our mission to save the queen or whatever. For murder sword food.

      Still one of my favorite campaigns. I do think he regretted giving me an excuse to derail his campaign to go murder-hoboing, though.

        I’ve never actually played. I hope to someday. The closest I’ve gotten is BG3 which isn’t saying a lot.

          That’s actually a really great introduction to D&D! It’s basically the same thing, except the voice actors are terrible IRL, and the graphics take place in the theater of the mind. But you have a lot more freedom to be creative and veer off track, which can be amazing.

            Or discussing the scientific implications of magic. That happened way too often. I’m pretty sure that one specific DM will never give anyone an Everfull Stein ever again.

      I’m not going to beat them to death, just beat them until they have detached retinas, are deaf, and are crippled enough to be incapable of revenge.

      I’m not a barbarian, just a human fighter.
