About the adventure

"You imbeciles! I need you to do simple, but important tasks, and you can't even do those without mucking them up! I mean, who has ever heard of a wizard who is a muscle-head or a fighter that talks his way out of fighting!?" This is a game for any level of player wanting to have a bit of a laugh! You will be playing as the most useless henchmen the evil king has ever hired, playing against the typecast of your class. Strong wizard, pacifist fighter, mute bard, etc. Build them to be fun and funny! How you handle the employment to your evil overlord is up to you: be loyal minions, form a union, full on revolt, kill the heroes, help the heroes, be the heroes... the list of options goes on and you get to decide how it ends!

About me

I am a non-practicing white man that is a feminist and father. I believe everyone deserves rights and wont tolerate hate or disrespect to anyone at the table. I have been playing ttrpgs for 15 years and running them for at least 10. I want to be able to provide everyone with a chance to play and love having new players at my table so I can share this great experience with them! I have the most knowledge about D&D, but love to branch out and play all sorts of games!

Character creation

Creating your character

You will want to have your character ready no later than the day before game starts so I can look them over and gift out a magic item that will best suit your character. Characters are to be made in dndbeyond and must use standard array or point buy. You must also make the character bad at what they are built for, choosing to stat the character as disadvantageously as possible. Any official or third party content is fair game for the character, so long as it is available on dndbeyond. No homebrew.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

you will want Roll20, Discord, and Dndbeyond.

What RoguishGM brings to the table

I will be providing homemade maps, music in discord through music jocky, and as many fun voices as are necessary to the game. I enjoy rule of cool within the rules as written so if you can come up with something fun that uses the mechanics you have available to you, more power to you! So long as we are all respectful to one another and considerate of our fellow players (and GMs) time and energy, we will have a good time. No bigotry or bullying allowed.

Homebrew rules

Drinking a potion as a BA, you roll the dice. Drinking a potion as a full action, you gain max HP. Crits are Impactful: you max your base dice then roll them and add them together. Ex.: 1d8+3 plus 2d6 sneak attack becomes 20+3 +1d8+2d6. (enemies get to Crit using this as well) Death Saves are rolled by me and you wont know if you are dead or stable until you are checked on by your party. Fated Inspiration. Each player has Inspiration immediately in game but it functions differently. You can use it to Reroll a dice or add a bonus to a roll to just succeed, but the next roll is at disadvantage or reduced by the bonus you succeeded at. Advantage Stacks. Every instance of advantage or disadvantage has a stacking effect; first is advantage, then every additional stack adds a +1 up to +5 on a roll. Disadvantage still negates these stacks and could reduce a roll up to -5.
