omfg who the hell is pouring onions up in this bitch?!?!?
OneShucklak
Does anybody else think death won completely?
DeadWindexor
Now wait a minute, does this mean that for hours a week there is just times that people stop dying?
Dyslexicglove
If more people played D&D instead of killing each other, the world would be a better place.
PurpleAid
This should have a theatrical adaptation
GrundleBlunder
Upvoted for the last line
ItsCrazyTim
This was wonderfully written
Aquilarden
Except the use of "they" rather than "it." That really irked me.
Aquilarden
Perhaps I should've specified that it was in the prompt that I found issue. Whoops.
NyxArterian
Despite what is said about Tumblr, there are many artists there. Writers, drawers, painters. You just have to find the right blogs for you
Dragas
Haha. No.

Yeah but how does a skull grin

It's Death, so... magic?
Thereisnopatchingstupid
He did every week in the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

auto upvoting anything D&D yay, but its from tumblr so.... Nah still getting an upvote

I've never played but now I want to.

Fuck, I need to go punch a tree with a chainsaw bear to regain my manliness. They're not tears, it's clear salty eye blood.

Best Writing prompt I've read in a while! Loved it from start to finish :)
RedTree6767
Death grinned, not as though he had much choice in the matter
lolive246
Fucking hell the feels, a god damn random user wrote this fucking masterpiece. THEY BETTER MAKE A GOD DAMN BOOK

#3 was XKCD's tribute to Gary Gygax
samsonguy920
Probably the comic that inspired the story.
JapAnus
If this rule existed, Koreans would be immortal because they'd challenge death to a game of starcraft
GifIsPronouncedJif
Plot twist: This rule does exist; Death is Korean.
Counterfit

UnknownSquid
It's pretty amusing to imagine Death as being able to imitate whatever pro/MLG etc skills are required for a given game.
mithiwithi
That's how it was in the Discworld series. Discworld's Death could regularly beat chess grandmasters 1/3
mithiwithi
despite constantly being confused about how the "horse-shaped ones" move. 2/3
mithiwithi
He did "lose" to Granny Weatherwax at poker, but he was quite obviously throwing the game. 3/3
levyathyn
Son of a bitch, there goes my LoL hopes.
PapiBlanco
Just challenge him to a race
levyathyn
Uh, no thanks. I don't see race, making it impossible to win.
diehardlance
While you played Starcraft I studied the fiddle
NZSheeps
Just challenge him to tic-tac-toe

thelliah42
Dude I loved war games
theycallmedoctornooche
I don't want to be That Guy, but Death's grin can't spread any wider... also it's weird reading Death speak in lowercase
ZOMGNO
Yeah, I also found it weird.
TheGrubinator
The real reward was the good time spent with friends. /afterschoolspecial

Bill and Ted would say that's most excellent dude
Jcorgar

SometimesISayHistoryStuff
See, I assume someone has tried this. So when I set up the game, Mr. Reaper makes a kobold and says Pazuzu 3 times.
SirArthurIV
three words: Tomb of Horrors
KeithSvenson
my answer to this..... is a 100 thousand point game of 40k tabletop with no turn limit. we'd be there until death himself keels over.
whenlingsandendlings
This makes me feel fuzzy inside and all but how did three of them get married to each other?
Chavestvaldt
This kind of story makes me wanna play DnD so badly
Reyquasis
Hey imgur has a DnD discord chat where we make games from DnD to shadowrun etc. You can pm and I will link you the invite. We are a big grou
9IX9
If you've never played before, just read the DM's handbook and argue every call the DM makes. You'll be playing incredibly badly in no time.
helpim18whatshappening
Got to know my bf playing it, its the best fun
averagecomment
NERD!! Hahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah... I play...
justherefortheshitposting
The experience entirely depends on the group and DM. Good ones, it's bliss. Bad ones will tempt you to swear off tabletop forever.
somewhatwiseguy
It's so much fun with a good group
00110001001001111010000110110110011
Try Baldur's gate 2. It's a great PC game set in the DnD universe if you want to dip your toes into DnD for the first time
BowTiesAreCool08
Been playing with the same group every second week for four years now, didn't know half the group and now we're all great friends 1/2
BowTiesAreCool08
Like : will get invited to their wedding kind of friends. It's worth it to seek out a group and just go for it! The adventures are amazing!
SP00BLES
It's super fun! If you can't find a group IRL, try Roll20.net; it's where I played my first games :D
PedestrianElectrobastard
Be prepared to slog through dozens completely non-functional asshole players before you find anyone decent, though.
CaptinCuddles
Yea me and my mates are about 6 months into a dark heresy campaign, currently trying to cross a massive desert to get back to the hive city
AdventureTimeWarrior
I would love to create a world, and dm...but i think i have to high of expectations for my players....
candystud
I'm trying in less then a mont my first dm, i'm sostressed
PedestrianElectrobastard
If you think your expectations are too high, they are. Most players are complete garbage - it's an eternal struggle to find good ones.
ImAShittyTransAm
Certainly try DMing a campaign like Lost Mines of Phandelver first. Lots of hand-holding, as DMing is hard, especially at first.
011100000110100101100101
In what way?
Kage197
Yo
OhMyGodILoveMemes
....
PapiBlanco
Where would I start off in terms of lore, rules etc. the most experience I have is play baldurs gate 2, so I don't know much
Kage197
Seconded, but most I've got is Wow and games of the like
PedestrianElectrobastard
I started like that. It takes a bit of reading, and your first game will suck, but that's true of almost everyone.
HolyEris
I suggest picking up 5e. It's incredibly simple in comparison to prior versions, easy to start up, even for beginners.

Beginner here. Is it hard to get into new game online since i just played DSA?
HungryPumpkn
Challenge him to "Highest number" and let him go first.
Burnmad
"n + 1, where n is your number"
Finlandery
Broblem there is, that death could know bigger number, than you. You cant just say oneoneoneone, you need to know real number......
TonguePunchdaFartBoX
I know how to defeat death now, with an Avatar of Vecna. Glorious day
quary80
Death and Kas team up and kick Vecna's butt (again).
Kazizganthi
So much yes.
JohnTheRockCena
Honestly just get them with the whole "head of Vecna" trick and get them to kill themselves, much easier
3vil3ric
Ahhh, Last time I played I scooped the head of Vecna and dropped it into our bottomless bag. What a great campaign that was.
YourWaifuIsTrash
For those unfamiliar with the joke: the Eye and Hand of Vecna are powerful artifacts in D&D lore, which grant the user power at the cost >
YourWaifuIsTrash
of replacing their own hand/eye with the artifact (and some other side effects, like eventual horrible death). A DM tossed the Head of >
YourWaifuIsTrash
Vecna into his campaign as an artifact, and everyone assumed it worked the same way. It didn't.
Idontlikethisusernameatall
But howd it work
QwertyBam
It wasn't the DM and it wasn't an actual artifact: it was a player in a competitive game. (1/2)
LionOfRome
how do you get competitive DND? isnt it supposed to be a team game?
QwertyBam
He created a fake Head of Vecna to trick the others into killing themselves. (2/2)
mithiwithi
Dungeon Master to the Grim Reaper. I can think of worse ways to spend eternity.
Finlandery
I would not mind for getting like 10M point wh40k game, that would take year or two. And would be interesting to play against real demons :P
Cruxador
Whole new meaning to "forever GM".
shamstar
Nice TL;DR (even though I read it). I was lost.
mithiwithi
The story itself involves only one finite campaign, but it suggests Death will never collect the DM's soul. 1/2
mithiwithi
I just kind of assumed that he'd be open to starting a new campaign :) 2/2
shamstar
That's what I was thinking too but didn't get what happened until you spelled it out.
Xelbair
poor poor Death. Hell hath no fury like That DM.

Ewanator
Better than having the dm BE the grim reaper.
Yakofalltrades
Everyone roll their characters? Tough shit you all died. Fuck you.
mithiwithi
Though if people are inviting demons as players, I bet they can suggest corrections to the Monster Manuals.
