When My Racist Party Turned On Me For Being A Half Orc | Narrated D&D Story 

"Oooh, look magic!" I can only imagine the shit eating grin on that druid's face.

I wanna hear more combat sessions!

Me and my little brother played Half-Elf(Barbarian) and Half-Orc(Bard) half-brothers for a oneshot once. Hopefully we'll have a full campaign for them.

I would of threw the bodies of the elves to the monsters.

There's only one trait that every dnd character *needs* to have: they need to want to be in/work with a party

Damn pointy ears elves, they need to learn that anyone can break there arms- post made by dwarf gang

My first DnD character was a wood elf ranger that hated orcs after being tortured by a raiding party for weeks years before he met the party. We had a half orc player in the group, and my character was anything but kind to him. Plenty of times he saw him in trouble, and just turned his back on him. Over time my character began to see the half orc as an ally, and they became good friends. I spoke to the half orc player in advance btw. He was absolutely down for it since it gave us a lot of RP to work with.

"No magic! Magic Bad!" *literally calls upon Warlock's Cthulu daddy powers to fight another player for being druid.*

“Ooh magic... summons 16 giant poisonous snakes” I freaking love druids

"Oh, we will burn arcane casters at the stake." THE WARLOCK IS LITERALLY MAKING A CHILD A CULTIST OF CTHULU!!!

Roleplay to the max

heard a story from a friend about a party of elves shamelessly flirting with the half orc, the orc's player was going for a edgy backstory of how his tribe was killed and he must grow in strength to avenge them and others tribes therefore had no time for socializing or romance! the other players/elves took this as a challenge so they would complement ever great feat of strength he did, would get into mock fights on who get to cast lay on hands when he got hurt, come up hair brain schemes to get him to notice them and so on, the DM would get on this action by having festivals, hot springs, returning rival groups and villains all them one way or another flirting or trying to spend time with the halve orc much to the cattiness of the elves. The half orc player would blush and laugh though it all while trying to play the orc great game :)

How was the Druid less of a Witch then the arcane casting Warlock?

..i legit made an elf raised by an orc and dwarf black smithing village..when he met elves who didn't live with other races...and one elf insulted his gnome best friend and his half orc brother who he was raised with...ans then was told to keep them in check...my character laughed and right hooked him with a nat 20 and i broke his jaw...my elf became the uncle ruckes to elves 😂😂

Never trust the knife ears. -dwarf gang

As someone playing a half elf in used to the racism from elves. They think of my character as a elf wannabe and they call me half human instead of half elf

“Had a party turn on me just Bc I was a dhampire. like come on guys we don’t all brutally kill,charm,and suck everyones blood....Just some peoples”

It kind of doesn't make sense why half orcs get relentless endurance but orcs dont

When he said "ooh look magic" I'm thinking tyrion lannister wiggling his fingers, eyes a lil wide and lips in a silly pursed manner

That second story.... where do you find these people anyway? Makes me want to drop a Davy Crockett on their story.... or mock them in a short quest.

I honestly feel for OP in the second story. Finding a campaign is tough. Finding one that isn't a shitfest is tougher.

Moon Elf Necromancer here. I'd like to apologize to the Orc Gang on behalf of my race.

9:20 ignoring the content of the insult druids are the coolest class and a druid party raiding a town is pure horror

I once played a cleric who took to their god after orcs raided their village and killed everyone. There was a half orc in the party. I was incredibly nice to him, after all he too was a victim of orcs. He was born with that accursed skin because of the horrid acts of orcs before his birth, how pitiable!

The first story is just odd, not really enough information imo to really make a judgment on the players (but communication IS important) outside of attacking the half orc. The second one boils me. Houserules should be laid out for all to see and the Warlock being treated better than the Druid sounds like favoritism. Once again, communication is important, though it sounds to me like the players had already unanimously decided they didn't want the Druid in their party.

I'll roleplay with you with no problem. I've done many drow elf rogues, as well as elven or half elven characters, and none of them have been snooty save for when background demanded it. I always made sure people were ok afterwards.

"we do things differently here" uhuh, you mean like let the warlock get away with doing shit they shouldn't be and deciding that an optimized player shouldn't knock the other assholes down a peg, gotcha shit like that is irritating especially with a warlock who thinks their hot shit, you straight up kill em and they think "i don't get it, i fired eldritch blast and everything"

Imagine being xenophobic This post was made by the triton gang

“…was my Barbarian, a classic Half-Orc Outlander with a *big axe.”* _Shows Half-Orc in the cover art with a small axe instead_

The nine dislikes are from the people who were featured in this story. lol

If you're RPing, it's one thing, but don't be an actual jerk in real life. And, always check with the group if they're ok with dealing with your character both before and after the first session, and sporadically as the campaign progresses.

The "racist elf mage elitist who have to rely on a half-orc barbarian guide"-scenario could be a pretty cool concept and a good alternative way to have a party meet

I definitely can relate to the second story in this video. 1 - It is definitely hard to join in on a group that is already establish and know each other. 2 - I definitely was on the butt end of the torment of some such groups in the past... 3 - Agreement in that such groups no doubt look for new players to simply torment them and make them easy exp or item grabs.

.... How come the warlock wasnt accused of witchcraft?

You know some rancid shit is about to go down when a D&D Story begins with "It all started when I joined a game on Roll20".

lmao if I were that druid and i saw that. Me: "My druid leaves this party of idiots" DM: "You have to roll-" Me: "Okay here is my roll." *Leaves the server*

That winona sounds like they were doing a lot of projection ans taking their frustration out on the druid guy. The gm was biased, and didn't do their job. Downright hypocritical for the sake of the other players too. It's good the player left.

I freaking DESPISE assholes that expect you to read their minds... if you don't speak up and say "This is bothering me and this is why" or even "This is bothering me and this is what I'd like to change" I have zero reasons to assume anything needs to change.

I think the party with Winona Rider needs a history lesson the which test was to throw them into a body of water.

First story, the majority of the players were just salting their characters weren't always in the spotlight. They can go cry a river. With the second stroy, i would have gone back in when i heard about the Cthulhu cult shit, kill the character with no roll, and say "i thought they were a witch", then leave.

*Cleaves elf in two over argument started by silky cloths." Ron Burgundy: "Well that escalated quickly."

As someone who plays a lot of elves... you still need to work with the party. Of course, you can have your sense of superiority, but keep it to side comments. Elves just have a different perspective on the world than most other races, but as a player, don't constantly look down upon others, just accept that their viewpoint is simply different, and they couldn't change that if they wanted to. Unless of course, they are drow, then burn them with moonlight.

It's one thing when character animosity/history has been brought up, like when you have an elf and an orc in the same party, who don't exactly get along, but at some point, you need to do a bit of metagaming and at least have the pair work well enough together to not kill one another. I mean, the Monstrous Adventurers section in Volo's gives examples why - common foe, owe a debt, under orders, hired for a job, and so on. I mean, in a campaign I played, I was a Yuan-Ti Paladin and my mother played a Feral Tiefling Ranger, and the two of us were hired muscle for a Fire Genasi Wizard, a Water Genasi Storm Sorcerer, and an Aarakocra dex-based Life Domain Cleric. We then later picked up a Mountain Dwarf Moon Druid.

I hate how in the first story they didn't run it by the OP that they were going to rp the bitter history between elves and orcs and then got pissy after they attacked him, I mean yeah they got pissed for some, emphasis on some, good reasons and they should have brought them up to the DM, honestly it all could have been solved if the casters had talked with the OP and DM after the prior sessions. As for the second story, I don't use Roll20 since I play on Discord with friends, so I don't know what groups on it are like, but this one seems to be full of assholes. Firstly, the DM didn't tell OP about the groups absurd house rules instead of giving the half-assed excuse of "we do things differently here", secondly, the "Winona Ryder" player needs to either pay attention to the world's lore and not judge the DRUID since they're playing a WARLOCK OF CTHULHU, also the homophobic remarks were highly uncalled for, I applaud OP for leaving that group of asshats (I refuse to be polite about this, btw). I don't know what would have helped the situation, other than possibly calling out that group for it's shit, even then, I'd just leave the group if they didn't kick me out over that.

Man, in-character racism is acceptable in almost all games but is definitely not newbie-friendly. Still, even if I was treated unjustly by fellow Players (or even the DM) because it is truly how their Characters think then I have no say. It's an interesting challenge to me.

As someone who doesn't have time to play that last story just boils my piss.

Everyone needs to be made aware of rule changes and wild card scenarios, otherwise "we do things a bit differently" merely means you don't know what you're doing.

There are alot of bad DM's out there. They give good ones a bad name. 9:52 Player should have waited until people started taking points of exhaustion XD. LVL three's a good starting point. Provides good berries and players are like: "Why no give earlier" Player: "I was afraid you'd have killed me. I care about you guys and wanted to help." Queue character development.

I've had my character singled out by the party before. They decided they were going to just attack me because they got some meta confusion and thought that somehow his character knew that mine has been psychically attacked and that he cheesed his way out of it. (They tried to coerce me to the other side and my character was down as long as he got XYZ. DM had a small stroke because I didn't even try to resist and basically ended up giving them the cold shoulder with no rolls). So in character he basically turned around pointed his bolter at my psycher. He said he was going to shoot my character and I looked at the DM kinda worried about what was about to happen. I go first automatically because I was ready for combat it wasn't a surprise round and I spent my XP on stuff that made my character strictly better. The DM is laughing with a devilish grin and I just shrug and start counting out d10s. I soon discovered that even with the copious amount of extra dice I had there weren't enough at the table so I'd have to roll more than once. The player has gotten real quiet. DM asks what I'm gonna do and I casually reply "holocaust." Player: "whats holocaust?" DM: "are you sure you want to go through with this whole trying to kill (me) thing? Because he's about to one shot the entire party."

Dm for the last one was full of it a warlock is not that powerful and definitely cannot evaporate an army of snakes. The paladin was not playing lawful good at all the DM must have edited that to because he was just being chaotic stupid. Something about chaotic neutral that brings out the stupid in people. Druid is a witch but not the warlock which is a male witch. *face palms*.

Hmm, I learned don't judge a book by its cover. In the last campaign I played the half-orc was a big asset. My barbarian was skeptical in the beginning because Orcs killed his bear in the past. But he let that slide to complete the mission. In the end they became friends.

Gotta call it with the druid's story... DM is either the Warlock's relative, or the latter has dirt on them. Probably a closet case trying to appear more homophobic than thou in fear of being found out.

1st level spellcasters vs a greataxe? I think I'll put my money on the axe...

Party in-fighting, not a party. Starting out with political racial shit major no no. Tired of hearing noting but negative crap on this channel. Really, people that don't get along play DnD, to what end? Do better!

I am playing a half orc in a party of all elves... Makes for funny situations but also makes things difficult.

16 eldritch blast in 1 turn I'm just gonna say WHAT IN THE HOLY FUCK ???????? I love playing warlock but what the hell is that shit ?!!!

First campaign of D&D was a league of legends home brew world, we had gotten out into an arena style prison just outside of bilgewater, I played a rogue half orc and had been put into a cell with a elf and a dwarf, luckily my barbarian buddy had my back in there, otherwise I might have gotten myself killed 😅

The thing is that if your gonna play a character who has some problems with other races make sure there justified and be ready for it to change over time

why the elves? I didn't realise this until now because of my love for elves but the 2 players that spoiled 2 D&D parties for me were elves and when asked why do they act the way they do, they just said with a smile on thier face "because I don't like you, no reason" DM's did nothing and gibed you are not going to leave you have been putting up with this for too long now to leave.

Half Orc: (Kills the rest of the party) Rest of the Party: (Leaves chat) Half Orc: ??? But otherwise, everyone shpuld have talked this over before we had a PVPTPK.

Ah yes, the classic "this world hates magic users" game. It can only ever end well

Why is it always Elves that are racist?

Oh my gosh, I would've totally rolled with the RNGeezus results. It would be so touching, playing an elf or half-elf that thinks he's so smug and better than everyone... then walking through a pond full of leeches or realizing he had led the group in the wrong direction because he had the map upside down or some other hilarious blunder that would have had him stammering an apology to the half-orc because he now realized what exactly the "simple half-beast" was part of the group for. Then having them bond, with the half-orc being able to not blow off whatever the elf said while the elf would learn that *just* maybe... non-elves weren't as simple as he had been raised to believe.

That warlock is a massive edge lord

I had brought a shifter. Somebody else brought a ranger that specialized in hunting lycanthropes. We had agreed not to fight eachother so we could get this damn bandit problem under control. We became friends because we got stuck with an additional idiot and we ended up being the competent ones who handled the situation. Granted, it was a oneshot, but fair enough.

I played a racist character once, my ranger's village was ravaged by orc clans, which made him bitter toward our half orc cleric. It made for some good roleplay as he slowly learned to trust someone of orcish lineage again

I honestly think this could've really worked and been a great campaign. The reason this kind of stuff can be a problem is bad roleplay, or players actually getting offended. It was fine until the one elf drew the dagger and attacked the half orc. A magic character is supposed to be intelligent, and so you could easily roleplay them stepping down as "this orcish monster will kill me if I don't." At least it had a good ending beyond that.

Okay the lack of out-of-combat stuff to do thing can be frustrating and should be brought to the dm but getting angry at a player over his dice rolls? That should be directed at RNGesus. The dice giveth and taketh away, and on a digital play mediums you can't really claim cheating.

Truth be told racism is sort of D&D's bread and butter. Chromatic vs. Metallic dragons, Kobolds vs. Gnomes, elves vs. orcs, illithids vs. everyone, drow vs. everyone, etc. If all all races got along, half of D&D wouldn't be combat and instead a detailed dice roll minigame for diplomacy and bartering. This is not me saying racism/xebophobia is ok, I'm just showing that a ton of D&D is based around racism to its own characters.

"Does your dad knows you're gay, Druid ?" "No, but yours yes."

That second story is litterally roll 20 in a nutshell

GMs should keep in mind that some characters just don't mesh with others. If most of the players are playing genocidal racists, and they don't expect to have their views challenged, having a half-orc in the party isn't going to work out well.

I don't get it... It is supposed to be a game friends play together. But, very often in your story I feel like it is more about "snow flake spoiled childish people" wanting their character to be more badass than everyone and getting angry with the world for treating them normally...

I played a Drow who was xenophobic, but treated it very similar to Legolas during The Hobbit. It led to an awesome character development story as the campaign progressed. My Drow's best friend eventually became the party's Goliath barbarian. Man we made an awesome duo haha!

The actual hell? Spellcasters are burned as witches...alright fine, nice add to a game...Warlock casts rapid fire eldritch blasts and nobody bats an eye...the fuck? He just wanted to make berries to help with food supply....that's so cringe.

To the DM and party of the latter story: Yall are disgrace. Lacking any capacity for creativity or consideration, especially Winona Ryder. (Rly? Your idea of RPing an insult to someone you don't trust is calling them gay? Jeezus, what a dullard as well as a insensitive bastard.) Maybe get it in your communal braincell that ganging up on someone you should be relying on to help you isn't a good idea? Also, you aren't the only people in the fecking party; have some courtesy. The DM especially for being so apathetic -idc if you're a veteran. There should come a point when you realize you're biased or aren't a rly good at communicating (ironic). In your case, it's both. Stop what you're doing and reassess how you deal with members or just stop DM-ing.

Goddamn Knife-Ears.

It’s not always elves. I played a goblin on a Discord game and had two other players continually try to degrade my character for his race, even though the DM explained in his world that goblins were not evil creatures, but normally a integrated race like all others. That did not stop the other two from constantly trying to undermine me at every turn until I finally had enough and bowed out of the game. Neither of the other characters were elves. They just decided that their characters did not like goblins, and “played to their character’s personality “, as if making a racist character excuses you from trying to make another player uncomfortable and anger. If racism is not right in real life, why would it be in a cooperative game? I ended up talking to the DM to explain that if this was a real setting, my character wouldn’t have anything to do with the other two. Why would he join a party who are racist against him? While the DM seemed sympathetic, he did not try too hard in game time to curb the other two player’s behavior. So, i simply left. Why play with want-to-be racists after all?

The 1st story was funny how the half Orc handled the annoying all elf party. But concerning that 2nd story... The Players and Dms like that are a waste of flesh, space and time. The druid was very smart to disconnect from them and move on.

Insulting the brutish fighter and attacking him with a knive is a great idea for a level 1 caster. There is a lesson to learn here. Even if your character is rassist to others or is a notorious thief, don´t target party members if thats not something you as players want to develope AFTER you talked that kind of thing through. Everybody knows this kind of player: "But thats what my character would do" This sentence is only an excuse for someone beeing a dick. Nobody in his right mind would team up with a doucheback who constantly would betray or annoy the party. It is only that the Player knows exactly that his friends are going to turn a blind eye on this edgelord shit because they are supposed to include this player into the game. I call this meta exploit

My trickster cleric goblin Mordecai was kicked out of his tribe for being considered a freak (by goblin terms he was basically an Einstein). He left the village and his first encounter with the outside world was almost getting eaten by a starved deserting soldier named Reuben. He had a rather in-depth conversation with his captor who thought that in general, the goblin race needed to be purged from society and that the act of eating him wasn't a crime. Since then, Mordi has become paranoid that all races are officially racist. That episode had a twist to it, Mordi turned the tables on his would-be diner and made him into the first Reuben sandwich...

uuuuuhhhhhh.... O.o those people in the last story do know that a warlock is literally a male witch right? they should be slamming that guy XD hes a spellcaster who uses evil spirits to gain power and even uses dark magic.

People compline about not role play, they complain about role playing to much. I the end it’s best to try to role play in a way that doesn’t hinder the gaming experience as a term.

Boy, people who find people in roll20 instead of finding people from outside and then going to roll20 have some really bad experiences.

Openly hostile and attempting to Kill an Orc isn't the best Idea, Especially at Level 1

This is why my number one house rule is that the party must get along.

"fine guys wear your robes let the monsters swarm and eat you he says as he walks away boom let them die approach

wynonna rider? the chick from Betelgeuse? That's really the most baffling part of that story.

I played with a group that was hateful towards tieflings

What kind of elf doesn't have nature survival skills! Bet they're those pompous bratty high elves.

"accusing me of being a superstitious greenskin." Brief pause as the reader's brain short-circuits

That last story hurt to listen to. Being allowed infinite reaction attacks triggered by someone just approaching is beyond broken. A DM can only change so many tules before its false advertising to call it D&D.

maybe earthglide and pull them under 1 by 1 and let them str check out of 20 feet of solid rock while suffocating, fk that dm btw in the 2nd story.

Oh wow on story #2, that is a terrible GM and party.

funny how the image is all elves with big snob noses. i even have a char that hates elves but is willing to work with em.

As far as I know there is one feat thats lets you attack as people approach and thats Pole arm Master, which says that when an enemy gets within your attack range while you have a pole arm you get an opportunity attack on them.

Warlocks are literally the term for male witches. Eldritch blast casting should make everyone think they are a witch automatically

Not sure if I agree with homophobic descriptor, as it just seems like the player was an ass. Still, I would have left too

Too many people don't understand that the point of dnd is to keep the party together, and overcome conflict/obstacles. If you put a contention in the game, you need to give/get the biggest win you can.

I'm like number 1600!
