When a Player is Late to Dungeons and Dragons 

Could the actor not make it?

It's actually mindblowing how much that changed the dynamic.

Indubitably

Hello

My sincerest apologies for my tardiness and temporary lack of presence. I discovered the most delightful purveyor of pastries along the way, and I felt like it would be most forthcoming of me to purchase a few delectable delights for those who I've spent so long engaging in fantasy stories with. Would it be too forward of me as a player to request that the DM turn back the hands of time that were set into motion during my absence, in exchange for my offering of a few icing-covered circles of dough? Topped with a fair share of sprinkles, of course.

Hmmmm!!

This channel simply evolves the universe in ways we never imagined...

He‘s gonna close our handbooks

I like how it's 3 books. Looking forward to him somehow making it 5+ books. :D

i see you everywhere. Why

Indeed

Undoubtedly

@@0Arcoverde not to be a grammar nazi my dear chap but it seems the word you are trying to spell is indubitably. Good try nonetheless.

@@DragoonZell Not to further correct you, good sir, but I believe that they _did_ mean undoubtedly, which is still a word.

@@callmeobsequious Quite right good chap.

Aint it another rule to not kill PCs when they're not there?

He brought beer. That counts, right?

@@pur3demon0wn he was late and didn’t call ahead. It’s free game there

He did bring beer/coffee/tea.

I don't really get this rule. You are running late so people expect you to make a detour and be even later?

Reminds me of when Ferb and Perry went to debate camp.

@@benlyon5118 or the penny singing in Spongebob. *silence* Patrick: That penny has the loveliest singing voice.

Honestly one of the better ways to explain a players absence that I've seen

@@quendi5557 and the clever thing is, our dm found a way for it to make sense other than “haha wild magic go brrr”

@@lime_forrest1451 nice

@A random person Who is random essentially yes

Oh I am absolutely using that with my group from now on. I was getting really tired of coming up with new ways for characters to get knocked out or captured after scouting on their own. One of my player's character's soul is currently corrupted by wild magic from the Astral Plane, and that wild magic is effecting everyone else's characters when they are near him so the way this would perfectly fit into my story is just *chef's kiss* You are a life saver!

🤣

"May I bonkers, my dear man?" "You certainly may, good lad."

I'm curious, what do Americans think "bonkers" means...? 🤔

Give me a barbarian with a monocle and JUST bow ties going "it seems i am entering a bonker" or something of that sort

@@yuki97kira Okay, I'm *_really_* going to need an answer on what American's think "bonkers" means now. Because *_"Going_* bonkers" means "Going crazy" (i.e. Raging). However, "bonk" is also a verb that means "having sex", so "a bonker" is someone who is "having sex", hence what you've just written means: "It seems I am entering a person who is currently having sex." 🤣

bro that sounds like absolute hell, how on earth can you withstand 10 separate turns in combat (without even counting enemy turns)

@@mail9897 its very simple. Only 4 actually show up.

Yeah that is completely how it should be done. Ironically dropping characters out somehow works I have seen, but it still disturbs some Immersion and Realism aspect of me deep down in my soul...

@@mail9897 If players are actually held responsible for the time spent durring the game, a turn should never last longer than a minute or two, and you can enforce that as a DM if combat starts taking too long. (and unless a combat is threatening or worse, it should likely not take more than 2-3 rounds)

"In the event of [any monster attack] roll to seduce. Also, when meeting any important npc, non-essential npc, and any cute or non-cute animal, roll to seduce that as well." -The Bard

Not even close.

Rewound just to see it again

What exactly hapend it ? Can you maybe tell to us ?

@@user-fp8ux9uj1m Yeah of course!!😃 So basically I was around an hour or 2 late and of course the weirdest guy in the group asked if he could play for my character the DM agreed and...he did exactly what the video had said so I rolled for death saves and somehow I rolled a lucky 20 and was never late to another session again😁

What kind of multi class monstrosity were you?

@@devinbuettgenbach2941 Rogue-Ranger. Arcane Trickster-Horizon Walker. Ranger gives Zephyr Strike and Planar Warrior, Rogue gives Booming Blade and Find Familiar. End game is 12 levels Ranger, 8 Rogue. He also has Steady Aim for when he’s low on HP and flees to the back of the party. Glad to hear that Ranger multiclass is a “Monstrosity” though! They never get recognition or fear…

My gosh...You were a multiclass monstrosity, and I laugh at the Monk Jump Item and then grapple stun what he happens to land on...LOL.

@@mitchellslate1249 And said Monk… is a Dwarf. Able to grapple enemies 15’ in the air. He hasn’t used his 15’ reach tattoo yet either, so he can technically grapple enemies flying 30’ above him. Also, no love or recognition yet for a Tabby Tressym Kitten?

@@mitchellslate1249 Said Dwarf is now titled The Dragon Piledriver. Imagine this: _The DM’s Plan: Once the Dragon is bloodied, it will flee._ _What actually happened…_ The arena in the city is evacuated, to trap an Adult White Dragon under Wall of Force. Roars can be heard from within, and a couple icy breaths creep over the edges of the stands. Suddenly, the Dragon is loose, bloodied, and flying low towards the horizon. Hot on its trail, a Dwarf leaps off the top of the arena, 15’ into the air, stretches his hands (Eldritch Claw Tattoo), and slings himself onto the dragon’s neck with a drop kick. With a sudden cry, the dragon’s eyes start to fade, and it falls, head first, the Dwarf upright due to how he grappled, into the ground in front of the arena.

Your died

@@AntonsVoice oh, **Pulls out character sheet** dang guess I won't bring food again then.

While they're fun to watch, they certainly don't seem fun to play with.

Ah but doing that would of taken one minute and two seconds! Which the chaps would have to experience a TPK once again. Hmmmm

@@OneShotQuesters hmmmm this is true. These lads will have to figure out a better system 🧐

@@alexapinter8714 mmmm quite

Hello bees 😁

Hello, dark bees, my old friend...

Sounds like a story!
