Anakin: Can I roll perception to see ANYTHING other than sand? DM: You can certainly try. Anakin: Natural 20! DM: That’s exactly what you needed to see the approaching storm clouds. Anakin: Oh, a thunderstorm? DM: No. It appears to be a sand storm. Anakin: I HATE YOU!

It's hard to feel in any way for an OP when nobody ever actually talks to the weird guy in the story to stop the inappropriate behavior, ESPECIALLY when OP is the DM and can just shut it down.

When you think about it, the premise of the Backrooms - a parallel dimension comprised of endless enclosed corridors and rooms, populated by all manner of bizarre creatures - could make a decent groundwork for a megadungeon campaign.

Okay Backrooms and DnD. Not a bad idea! Backrooms, DnD, AND among us? Yeah gonna draw the line there

The backrooms could fit into a dnd setting but you gotta have a precedent for it. My homebrew setting is a multiversal patchwork demiplane and the manor of my players' patron is like a TARDIS inside. So when my wife rolls a nat 1 on trying to explore the inner expanse, she ended up in the backrooms.

The Far Realm is a perfect reason. Most of my campaigns take place on worlds bordering it so the laws of physics aren't quite right. If done right it would be no different than any other endless dungeon campaign. I also like thrust propulsion ships so I'm all about being outside of phlogiston space.

Theres a DnD urban legend of the "Bag-man" that hints all bags of holding are interconnected like the backrooms and the Bagman is a guy who got lost in there. If you say "Bagman" three times near an open bag of holding, hope he doesn't come creeping out to drag you into said bag while you and your party take that long rest around the campfire.

OP 2 sounds like a person in a toxic relationship with the problem player thinking "i can change him", and our horror story is just the way of saying i finally give up

Lol I almost thought someone wrote a horror story about the campaign I'm in. We recently added the backrooms and as a player I think it's been a blast. Of course it's a little tiring being in the backrooms (That are constantly changing and you are always at risk of getting lost), but as long as you give your players things to do, fight, and find; It works well as a interdimensional dungeon. We also eventually found a devise that helps us traverse the backrooms and now the backrooms work as a shortcut to get around a powerful kingdom.

Honestly that backrooms/amongus sounds like a good mystery scenario.

I feel both could be if it was what players had turned up for and the DM knew what how to make them work. Dumping them on a group of players who were expecting a more mainstream d&d game not so much :)

Story 1 resonates w/me. I had a similar situation recently. Just blows my mind how poor some players are as DMs

Currently living the early stages of a horror story in a campaign I was thoroughly enjoying. Giving it one more session to see if it naturally heals or that if I can actively try to make it better. Then talking to the dm or leaving.

It just hit me a backrooms entity could look like the cursed bugs in sims. When the limbs of humans get stretched in all directions.

To be fair, having a setting in a backrooms-like setting could be interesting. I was actually planning on something similar based on Ravenloft's urban legend, the Bagman. A lil one off where my players would be dragged into the bag of holding and are trying to get out. you just need to execute it just right!

"I'm giving you a whole world to shape" What the DM means is "please come up with things you want to see and do my job for me". Bruh you need to give them -something-

Thank you for actually spelling out what "proc" means when the term came up. I've seen it in use a few times before, but could never figure out what it actually meant from context, and never got around to looking it up.

The end of Among Backrooms reminds me of a time I asked a guy who I'll call "Lopuny" to DM this skeleton character as he explored Bleak Falls Barrow. What happened was the most random encounter with a giant turkey that had a craving for Peking duck. For the time, it was hilarious, but GREATLY against TES lore. Used to give him grief on "The Turkey of the Barrow" afterwards.

I've actually been mulling over doing a backrooms campaign for WoD. Though I'll probably stick to the resort town trapped in a spacial anomaly idea.

Ah the Doge I know - yesterday I saw a short vid with some huumon using this account and saying he was the Doge - as if a human could be you. Hi Ziggy - you the kitty - we were just pretending until you came along. Glad you got your string. These were some weird stories today, and considering this channel, that's saying something.

i really did nearly piss myself laughing at the request to steal a homeless man's pubes. when the acronym DnD changes to CKY

Great misadventures awaits for us all on the No Clue cruise lmao!!

I think I would be laughing about the sand thing. I kind if imagine this dm as being like Dr. Evil from Austin Powers. *place my index fingers together under my lips and raise an eyebrow.* You see... More sand! 😂

Why are OP NPCs who are Aholes becoming a common trend? I am quite worried about this. Also Simba is gonna need a longer tube.

I do know about the open sandbox games can be fun, I mean Minecraft is taking off like crazy. But even Minecraft gives you rules and structure to even start. His game was just "I'm too lazy to put together a story, just make something up yourself."

"No DnD is better than Pretend DnD."

The first story sounded like something from fhe free Aidungeon 😂

I've seen Dimension 20 and funny/weird settings can work, but the players have to be ok with it. I wouldn't mind a d&d campaign in the backrooms, maybe it's even an arc in an adventure after going into a bag of holding with an encounter from the bagman, D&Ds Slenderman.

No cap An imposter dnd session sounds like a pretty solid concept One of the players is an imposter and has to complete certain objectives like buying certain items or taking certain paths and completing a secret goal while trying to remain hidden in plain sight

I feel the first story. Years ago, we let one of our fellow players take the DM seat, and she had us stranded on a tropical island. There was just vast expanses of nothing for two sessions, until I said "I have no idea what to do, my character sure as heck doesn't either, so I sit down on the beach and wait to die." ...she eventually did get the hint, but those were a rough two sessions. Oh, and she later homebrewed three monsters, where one of the was already enough to one-hit KO my character, and pretty much the entire party within two rounds. We like her dearly, but she has been banned from DMing for the foreseeable future, and isn't keen on giving it another go 😂

Story 1: I hate sand. It's coarse, it's rough, and it gets in my ball bearings.

I feel bad on the first one. I tried running a desert based sandbox myself once and felt like I did something similar. Not providing nearly enough to the players because I wanted to do a “open world” adventure

the greatest crossover

Unrelated to the stories: I had NO idea you could lower the poison against the snake woman boss fight! I was under the impression it was some sadistic bit where you had to kill her before you die. Thank you Doge for enlighting me AND providing entertaining cringe.

Go strike the windmill with a weapon. Drains it in a lot of places.

Having a bizarre dimension that the PCs just fall into and doesn't know anything about it it's a pretty good idea for a campaign. Sadly, that DM sounded like a shitposter.

You had no planning at all dm for the first storey.

The problem with having such a big crossover is (obviously) the need for a huge amount of time for everything to make sense

Even sandbox games like Skyrim give you at least some direction at the start of the game

For the first story, you can really tell what kind of games someone plays by what they consider as "sandbox". Play Minecraft? Gmod? They understand a sandbox still needs SOMETHING in it, monsters, goals, games, etc to remain interesting. However if they play something like the Sims or one of those hardcore pvp survival mmo's, games where the only goal is just try to not die... Then "sandbox" means an empty world that relies on the players to fill and make fun. Nothing wrong with any of those games or players, fun is subjective and people are allowed to enjoy what they like. It's just important for sandbox DM's to make it crystal clear what type they're running so they can get the right players for their style.

Ngl, i know its a horror story but among us and the backrooms sound hilarious to do in dnd just not at the same time 🤣. For the first story I feel a little called out as a dm ngl but at least i have the world and the players have now decided to follow the story. As for the trees and the water, I'd be a pain and hope there is a druid with mold earth.

Did the first stories DM have DMPC that they were playing? Or was this a RP low mechanics game where everyone including the world leader were playing characters? It kinda reminds me of someone I knew who started a group game for a more simple all RP game but then acted like he actually didn't want to lead the world. Or more he wanted to be in charge without actually DMing. He started the game and set the setting but then just lollygagged his own thing with his character while others had to actually move their story with him ignoring making anything happen with his own prompts he made. Like he mentioned the sounds of aggressive wildlife and another player finally wrote that they were attacked. Then when they all escaped he just kept playing his totally asshole character who was no help until I finally had my character mention a town nearby he knew of. Though in this case he got mad when the story didn't go as he wanted because everyone started making stuff happen because neither him or his character would give any plot moving help.

That last story had wasted potential as he could have role played the scene to be like that South Park episode where Cartman feeds Scott Tennerman his parents for him tricking Cartman with the pubes. Yes it is messed up, but it is a devious pop culture way in which to derail a messed up game. Bonus points if the O.P had the chace to make a bowl of Chili too. Mind you I want to hear those other messed up stories.

in my setting of greymor the reason why people hate Highborn High Elves is for their actions during the 3rd age they have awoken the one who slumbers who in turn trigged the 3rd rampage bringing the 3rd age to an end

Great, yet another boundary pushing DM in the last story.

First one: the dark side of sandbox style play is that you sometimes do not find the cool thing as you travel through the hex. I am suspicious that op went through 2 sessions finding and doing literally nothing but trees. You might not see a point some things till later, but they had to do something other than listen to the dm say, "you see sand," for two sessions; random encounters or something.

Wow the first story sucks, DM doesn't even know how to DM, gives players a world that they "shape as they see fit", 2 sessions later, they find trees, water source is underground and they can't access it or dig it up. So much for a world that you can "Shape as you see fit". I woulda had my character sit down and build sandcastles, or leave. and Doge, here's an idea. For April fool's, you should wish all our rolls to be nat 1 as a joke.

im not sure Among Us really ports well to D&D, but The Backrooms could definitely be ported into D&D, if done right.

There's a graphic novel called The Travels of Juan Buscamarez about a guy in the desert. Except it has a plot and things happening, not characters left to their own devices while the author us twiddling their thumbs.

STRING PLEASE. YAY!

In regards to the Endless Beach nonsense: "Sometimes you've got to make a statement. You've got to look inside yourself and say, 'What am I willing to put up with today?" "NOT F**KING THIS!"

I get the impression that Scott is either attention-seeking, crazy, or both

Was the DM in the last story in middle school or something?

what is the problem, is the ultimate sandbox not a literal sandbox?

Sounds like Sandbox DM was jumping on the "elf hate" bandwagon that I've seen getting popular these days. I know it's immature, but I like to counter it with "orc/human/dwarf" bashing, since those races tend to be the biggest offenders. The key difference is thst I think those races are genuinely cool, I only dunk on them for laughs. Am I an asshole? Sure, so I just try to do it with tact to not offend anybody
