Ok, so what would be the rundown if the player rolled he best result on everything? Could they defeat it?

I tried to do this to my wife. She solo killed a spectator, Black dragon wyrmling and red dragon wyrmling at level 3-4. I stopped trying.

Whats the deal with dnd? Why so popular

As gaming systems go, everyone's heard of it, so it's the go-to default when you want to get into interactive storytelling sort of games.

"Here, have a tarrasque riding a prismatic great wyrm, dual wielding elder titans. Not their mattocks—the titans themselves."

"...what do you mean you want to roll vs charisma to seduce? Fucking bards!"

natural 20 with a vorpal sword...
OmnibusLatinName
Or the DM selectively ignores the rules to give you a big middle finger. Oh, you like to use the ol' scry-n-teleport-fast-attack method (1)
OmnibusLatinName
Here, have a trap that funnels teleporting creatures into a chamber of permanent disintegration... that only works on flesh. Roll new (2)
OmnibusLatinName
characters in a world where a litch has all the gear from your 5 strong 19th level party. I'm sure it didn't cost the guy anything to (3)
OmnibusLatinName
make that on the spur on the moment, after encountering us the day before :) (4)

Not bitter at all, nope.

In Baldur's Gate 2 there's references to the D&D cartoon kids being eaten by Tiamat.

Also, a low level party talks smack, attacks you, dies instantly... followed by a mock event where they "reload" the game and avoid you :)
JustLikeAMetaphor
"Haha, okay, we're leaving though."
tbirdistheword
You have awakened the gazebo, it catches and eats you
Lahoura
Once played with a brat who could care less about the team and only about his sword he lost. I begged the DM to destroy the sword 1/
Lahoura
Instead he had the kid and sword swallowed by the very large monster he wasted 5 turns avoiding while it killed the group. Deserved it 2/2
Yoursomewhatfriendlyneighborhoodspiderman
I had a dm try to throw a lich at us after we kept surviving large battles, we killed the lich being level 3 players
GeneTheAwkward
Lol that sounds like the DM was throwing challenge rating at you when in fact the game is played and won with tactics.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
I do not see how a group of level 3 players could reasonably kill a lich
Yoursomewhatfriendlyneighborhoodspiderman
Worked
Yoursomewhatfriendlyneighborhoodspiderman
Liches usually have their hearts out of their bodies but keep them close, fortunately good rolls in strength checks to destroy where it was
EditImgur
Laziest lich ever! They can survive without their phylactery close by, hide it behind a puzzle and be indestructible!
StandardDeviant
Maybe all casters and got it with a save or die/suck?
VerticalInfinity
The party pulls off an unlikely victory.... AND HERE'S HIS BROTHER!
yslmtl
My players were kicking my ass and laughing about it so i pull out a tarrask (they were high level). The rogue one shot it on the next round
wiseidiot9
New guy's character introduction to the party was grabbing the rogue's (mine) junk. Bye new guy!

Oh god I had forgotten this existed why did you remind me

Who hates when dms get upset and do this? Why not just ask why it’s boring so you can improve instead of pouting and destroying the campaign
Corona688
There's toxic DM's, and there's toxic players too, who only care about levels and loot, act against alignment, etc.
jetflight
But it IS the sacred duty of the DM to never, ever be boring. You can be hard, you can be lenient, anything inbetween, but NEVER boring.
zeusdemigod131
I was gonna start my first campaign soon. Then the DM got suicidal and now it's not happening.
fauxglove
If your players are bored, there's something wrong with the way you're running your campaign. Ask why they're bored and see what's missing?
PaganUniform
Well not all players are the same. You can hit an intrigue part of a campaign and the fighter groans while the bard grins.
fauxglove
Clarification: Not objectively wrong, but wrong for that group. Different players enjoy different aspects of the game; social, combat, lore
Enoan
Issues arise when different players want different things. I like in character interaction and problem solving. Simple combat is boring.
GeneTheAwkward
T.H.I.S. THIS GUY GETS IT. Omg every time a DM talks about his awesome plot but not about his party I just. UGH STOP GIVING US A BAD NAME
fauxglove
you walk in to raid a lair and stop doomsday, now you got an abduction and a wedding to stop? That's a party story worth re-telling. 2
fauxglove
I know, right? Every time a DM bitches about the bard seducing the big bad dragon I'm like...dude you missed a golden opportunity there. 1
DemonicCarnage
Just had a 20 minute conversation with ours if they were gonna try to seduce the one we found, was told no, party groaned

TGWolf
Oh you do not wan't to fuck with me as your DM, you think death is the worst thing that could happen to you? Heh, think again cupcake.
TGWolf
Like a 6 month campaign I wrote, the Wizard was constantly trying to break or ignore rules so instead of outright punishing him 1/3
TGWolf
I just made it a little harder each time, created more problems for the group, rewrote the campaign to make it longer. It was fucking 2/?
TGWolf
amazing and they loved it. Then at the end I revealed that the Wizard had fallen asleep researching a Lucid Dreaming spell. xD
TGWolf
No loot, no XP, just months of wasted time. After he was thrown out of the group I had one of my NPC characters pay the rest really well.
MisterWiggler37
Did you at least try talking to this player first?
EditImgur
You pulled "it was all a dream" then took away the player agency even when saying "they loved it", then you throw them out the group?
ChuckWeiss
If the players aren't enjoying your campaign, it's possible that it's because you're a bad GM.
NZSheeps
GeneTheAwkward
Yes. Always ask for feedback and seek to improve yourself. Good boy. Good GM. Now go study leadership and story craft and game design. Myes.
StandardDeviant
Also, practice improv. Yes-and is the single most important skill for any GM, no matter what the game is.
GeneTheAwkward
Agreed. Improv theater made my GMing so much better.
ChuckWeiss
"Leadership means I get 8 followers I directly control" - every player. "I didn't read the grapple rules, I'm not reading this" -every GM
ChuckWeiss
And of course I see now that you mean "leadership" in the context of organizing a group of players to work together, not the D&D feat.
GeneTheAwkward
Lol yes. The part where you actually need social skills XDDDDDD
wazeewa
Yea, this is pretty much it. I have a collection of custom "fuck you" monsters for lippy players.

Working my way through Critical Role. I enjoy "rocks fall, everybody dies."

Sounds like a great way to break up a friend/dnd group... my dm kept doing that to new people and go figure no one wants to play with him.
HoraceCox
Yes. The players write the story! The DM just tells it. I'd never do this shit to my players.
ZetaRayBill
“Another crit. This monster is on fire, man. 8d8 + 10. Double damage. You still up?”
Tolkienfan57
Whats funny is I unintentionally messed up the campaign with an executive decision. DM pulled this, i killed it because its ST failed
KoulFurno
As do I.. "behold the ancient giants rising from the old wars of the land. Their here to kill you, and the rest of the world. "
yeekee
If things started getting boring I just tried to fuck everything. If I ever get to play D&D again I'll try it there too
axelfive
Giant man eating koalas. My wrath is swift and terrible.
GeneTheAwkward
I get them interested in the story and then make bad things happen to their favorite characters. They call me Gene RR Martin.
DemonicCarnage
Our GM uses a cat to get the party to go places, then gave the obsessed one a cat familiar. Took it away 2 sessions later for reasons
GeneTheAwkward
Even better when their stupid actions directly cause bad things to happen to those characters. Even better when the NPCs don't blame them.

Please show said collection, I’ve got a faceless wizard that needs punished
billingsworthswagamuffin
Have them find the deck of fate. One of our players ended up with 2 demons hunting him until he dies or they die.
McDouggal
Oh that's a simple one. Suicide then resurrection.
Gadvance
Have you tried using a Star Destroyer...
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
I get where you're coming from, but if the players aren't having fun, is blapping them with some unholy abomination going to help at all?
monocline
There's a respectful way to do it. Complaining isn't it.
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
I'm not saying that the players who are causing trouble are in the right, I'm saying they're either cunts and should be removed, or bored.
TiGRIOSindustriesRnD
That's why you use mundane things. Like gazebos. Or cows.
Corona688
Probably not, but if the players aren't having fun due to being amoral assholes who wouldn't know IC from a hole in the wall... Why bother
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
In that case you should either boot the troublemakers, or find a new group. By all means, screw with them first, but don't play with them.
visorian
I didn't play DnD after i first started because there was no adventure or stakes at all, literally just the DMs power fantasy. I started>

TRYING to kill myself in that game out of boredom and still made it to level 17
