Look, I'm the Grinch. I'm the Grinch. It's true. You do every friend who grotes me is one Grinch and we're just simple hues. And you know what, you're gonna carve the roast beef for us and I can't wait for that moment. I'm the supreme Grinch.

Merf is gonna save crit mess. You guys just wait. Okay, SkyFed writes, may it please the most highly esteemed justices of the Crit and also Joe close but wrong. I present the case of the stolen spirit of Christmas, AKA Critmas. Whoa, okay.

Sounds all right to me. For my first ever time playing D&D, my best friend's older brother, DMs for me, my friend, and her boyfriend in a Christmas one shot. We, as holiday-related characters, were tasked with killing an evil Santa who had taken over the North Pole. After sneaking through the elf village and getting some info, we arrived and fought the evil Santa, me, Bel Schnickle. Is that a Christmas person? Bel Schnickle, that sounds... Yeah, that sounds Christmas person? Belch Nickel, that sounds, yeah.

That sounds Christmas to Jason, I can look it up. I mean, if it is, and it's a really good Christmas themed name. Belch Nickel, he's covered in bells, and he leaves Snickerdoodles under your pillow. Okay, yeah, it's Dwight dresses up as him from the office. It's a crotchety, fur-clad Christmas gift bringer in folklore. Okay. This is a good old fashioned d giftbringer in folklore. Okay. Oh, this is a good old fashioned

Dundermiflin reference. Oh, okay. No, no, no, no, Dundermiflin Dwight references this character. Well did it did it dirty by saying it was white. It's it's originally something else Office themed one shot go on It's still a good Christmas theme name. No Dwight dresses as this old figure, right? I'm doing a trench bit, dude. I keep up. I think, I think, I think,

I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think,

I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, I think, my friend, the Grinch, aka Murphy, aka me. And my friend's boyfriend, Frosty, the snowman, I guess we can say, aka Olaf.

Oh yeah, that's perfect. He succeeded in our mission after taking decent damage, but in the sweet after glow of our victory, our DM narrated that the spirit of Christmas was now on the loose and needed to inhabit one of us, thereby turning the session into PVP. We were given a chance to compete for the spirit. Only me and my friend chose to fight one another

with her boyfriend choosing to hide away in his hat of holding, which is Frosty's top hat for you guys. Oh, that's great. I'm not prepared to weigh in on anything. I just think this is cute and fun. Yes. I'm so excited to have been enjoying this by the holiday cheer.

Well, as soon as Frosty takes office hat to go inside it, he should die. Is it dying, Murr? Murr, if you're going into Grinch overload. Yeah, Murr, we don't need that. Murr, it is getting too small. Get this man some coal. Okay, so what followed was a grueling back and forth that I barely won with 11 HP remaining. As I went to claim the spirit,

my friend's boyfriend popped out of his hat and declared that he wished to compete as well, and the DM allowed it. I thought this was absurd, but given that it was my first session and my friend's boyfriend, I didn't want to complain. However, he then proceeded to eldritch, blast my bell-snickle ass and killed me in one round,

claiming the spirit of Christmas for himself. That was the end of our one shot and I'm not going to lie, it fell kind of flat. Okay, so this is like Jim the Snowman behavior. He kind of came in and pranked his white at the last minute. Pretty good. I have to say I don't actually, I haven't seen the office, so I can't. We're not enjoying this. Okay, I'm going to pass on this.

I don't know if the question about you. We're not enjoying this. Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna pass on this. I don't know if the question submitter had seen the office either. Called those frosty hats on hats on hats. I know that there's a couple. Okay, go on. Okay, well they conclude it felt more impish than admirable at the time. Was I within my rights to have protested the DMs ruling in my first ever session rather than just let this happen.

I think that your friend's boyfriend is fucking dishonorable. Right, but that's what they were going for. I mean, isn't that like an actual strategy in like a fighting tournament to hide just to be like, I'm in a hide and let them take care of it themselves. And then I'll pop in in the last moment. Yeah, you absolutely can, but you have to also be that person for the rest of your life. I would say, well, the thing about Frosty, the Snowman, is he was just born. You'll be that in person. Yeah, you'll absolutely can, but you have to also be that person for the rest of your life. I would say, well, the thing about Frosty, the Snowman, is he was just born.

So like, he doesn't have a strong sense of right and wrong. You've lost me. So like, maybe he thought that this was honorable. He just didn't know. Right, is this the case of this is what my character would do? Frosty is a cowardly snowman, an opportunistic coward. It sounds like it's just a fun one shot. I really feel like, I mean, you guys

were playing such ridiculous characters already. It's PVP. It's like a PVP. Yeah. Gets in there, I think everyone, it's just a... It's just a... This is allowed to happen in PVP. Yeah, if there's three people fighting and it sounds like they're a warlock,

but I don't know, if you were a rogue or something, you'd probably just hide the whole time and let the other people fight it out. My only issue with this is if it was like 11.30 PM and everyone was like, okay, great session, time to wrap it up. And then this guy climbs out of his hat and then you're there until like one in the morning and everyone's like, I'm a little tired now, actually.

Yeah, that would be a read the room situation. But I mean, like, I do think that Frost of the Snowman is fucking dishonorable, but I also can, I absolutely, I do think that Frosty the snowman is fucking dishonorable, but I also can, I do think that the session was set up for people to possibly behave dishonorable. We know you think that about Frosty the snowman, but you think that about the session as well. No, no, no, I think the session sounds really fun. Okay, right.

But I think it was set up for dishonorable characters to behave to the side. Yeah, you were going to fight at the end. I want to introduce the P.B.P. You were going to fight at the end anyway. And the thing about Frosgy the Snowman is that he, the hat, was acquired from a craven magician. So you have to imagine that like some of that personality is going to seep in. If you're going by the rank and bass lore, that is of course. Okay. I mean, I'm in.

So maybe it was a case of this, what my character would do. Yeah. This is what Frosty would do. I think this is like early days Frosty. He hasn't had like his character turn. He realizes like he should be Holly Jolly and be like a symbol of the season. You know what's an interesting, interesting query about this? It's this player's first time. And they're saying, was I within my rights to question my DM and they decided not to, they decided to just let this happen. But if they had questioned their DM,

they might have gotten this answer. This is allowed and he's Fossy's being cheeky. That was a cowardly strategy. It was a cowardly strategy, but it was. But it was a strategy. It was a strategy. Craven Snowman aside, I. But it was a strategy. It was a strategy. Craven Snowman aside, I think it's a valid strategy. Yeah, it's nasty, it's dirty.

It's dishonorable. Yeah, yeah. This is, I mean, this is a frosty that's got some like dog shit rolled into a snowball. Yeah, this is like what I expect, honestly, of frosty the snowman, right? When someone's two eyes were made out of coal, like, cold, uncaring coal. That's naughty right there Who do you think getting that cool fucking Santa Claus? Yeah, brothers are miss dirty Brothers no man nasty nasty, brother. Cheeky. He's tricky. He's cheeky

He's got a gorm Cobb pipe he's smoking in front of children. This dude is an absolute fiend Yeah, come on dude, but it was from a time when children smoked pipes. True. We have to give them that. We have to consume that. It's from a different time. Children were smoking pipes. Everyone had pipes then. Yeah, but as long as they were smoking children's grade tobacco, it was fine. Okay, so I have a question. What do you guys think are the ramifications of the spirit of Christmas inhabiting someone so dishonorable. Well, it sounded like it was going to be, the spirit of Christmas made Santa Bad, it sounds like,

and then it also was making everyone fight each other. So even if this person had one, they'd be someone who just murdered their friend for it. Yeah, true. So it was always going to be bad. The person writing's question is, was I wrong to question my DM? I feel like you're allowed to privately be like okay this is actually I felt like we had wrapped it up

and now it's going overboard but also you know you also have to have patients because the DM sometimes gets shit thrown in their face they're like all right well I guess I have to allow it yeah this also seems like a great jumping off point for a follow-up one-shop which is also seems like a great jumping off point for a follow up one shop, which is kind of like a dark Olaf thing, where like Olaf has got like the power of darkness within him and he's kind of this like frosty ice king figure now

and you all have to defeat him. Seems like he got some fertile ground. Do you think in our lifetimes, we'll see a gram Olaf? No. That would be cool. I'd also, I would enjoy enjoy a twist ending to the Grinch where this beast stole Christmas

and that everybody just goes off and kills him. You robbed the whole entire town. You ruined Christmas. You're in jail now. They don't give him the opportunity to regret it. You're right. Ron Howard, I want to see an alternate in the Grinch where he to regret it. You're right. Ron Howard, I want to see an alternate in the Grinchery gets beheaded.

Yeah, man. We need justice for the Grinch. Justice. Justice for who will? Who will bring the Grinch justice? Yeah. And I also, you know, I have to go, you know, I use pro wrestling a lot for presidents and stuff

in, or press, presence is very good. Yeah. So much. But we do have to call on the ruling of Royal Rumble 1995 when Sean Michaels was thrown over the ropes as the last person to be quote unquote eliminated, but only one foot to touch the ground. So while the British Bulldog, David Boy Smith was celebrating

and his music was playing, Sean Michaels came in and nowhere and pushed him over the top and then won. Very dishonorable, not nice. Yeah, but guess who got the title shot at WrestleMania 11? Yeah, yeah. Sean Michaels, the guy you said, yeah.

Yeah, it's within the rules. I mean, I guess we haven't actually looked at Frosty the snowman going into the hat of holding. That checks out to me, right? I think so. I have Frosty's debt sheet here, I can send. You underestimated Frosty the problem. Yeah.

Yeah. Ultimately, never underestimate the snowman. Do we have to punt rate of sentence this person who wrote into us? Of course. You know what? I think I'm gonna sentence you to play more D&D because it feels like you were maybe expecting something

more honorable from a silly one shot. Mm. Oh, interesting. Right. What if they have to go to a Christmas party dressed as Dwight dressed as Belch Nichol? Yes, that's good. That's good.

And you have to keep explaining it. Uh-huh. I'm Dwight and I'm Belch Nickel. I guess you can choose that or play a more D&D. No, I think the Dwight thing is good. And you should bring, and you should go to like a gift exchange with the office season like, one of the later ones. Let's say like season eight or something.

The one where the couple are together. Right, we're at, yeah, where Michael Scott leaves. Yeah, exactly. Post Michael Scott DVD case and give out individual DVDs. So like individually wrapped is one. Individually wrapped is two. Wait, loose this. Loose this.

We're taking them out of a box. That you're handing them out to people. This is, I like this idea. You just like leave these on a plate. This is like what you bring. It's like a potluck, and you just like, like the office on DVD. Oh, they would make good Christmas ornaments.

Little DVD, do you, Christmas ornaments? Give a DVD take a DVD. Yeah. We could also do kind of like a new, like, new holiday tradition that is like Halloween but instead of candy as DVDs. Yeah, oh, great. Yeah, so it's like trick or treating,

but you ring someone's doorbell and you say, DVD for me. DVD, great. Yeah, so it's like trick or treating, but you ring someone's doorbell and you say, DVD for me. DVD. DVD. DVD for me, VD. Yeah, and then you do that till you get arrested, but don't worry, we will bail you out. You're not allowed to explain yourself.

If you went over to someone's house and they said, oh, do you wanna like watch something? And you're like, like yeah and you sit down and then they just take out a loose tray of DVDs. Oh my god. Just a bowl. Do you leave right there immediately or do you stick, I stick it out for sure. I definitely am like I want to see more. I'm going to look at the titles before I leave. I'm I'm rooting through this DVD tray. I want to see what they got. This physical media is becoming a lost art.

I'm like, if they've got this DVDs, it doesn't matter how they're storing them. They are preserving the great history of film, and I must support it. It's true. I had to buy it over the Garden Wall DVD because they're taking it off of... Max, whatever they're calling it now.

More like minimum. Thanks. Oh, my God. That was so brinchey. Sorry. I'm kind of a roast comic now that the grinch. Now that I'm the grinch of the roast comic. Now that you're sitting cold. We have to move on. We're moving on. Our next case comes from Matthew G to the juicy booty justices and the flat, but I would still tap that Baylif Jake.

I bring to the court the case. Yeah, that's within the spirit thing. I also like the inclusivity. Yeah, I love being somebody's back up like okay. I bring to you the case of the disruptive dogs. I recently started a campaign with some friends from high school where all now in our mid 20s. Most of us are fairly new to D&D,

but our DM has been playing for a long time. Our DM has been incredibly accommodating for all of us new players. He has provided hand-painted minis of each of our characters. Oh! He hosts games at his house and he frequently provides home-cooked meals. Wow. This has holiday cheer despite not being a holiday-themed one.

Absolutely. Despite how hospitable he has been, I still have an issue with his home. Actually, two issues. RDM has two beautiful dogs, but they are incredibly disruptive when we play. They release truly stomach-curddling farts. They get into spontaneous fights that bump the table that we play at and they aggressively hump me whenever I sit down. Whoa. Okay. Okay. This is I know the situation exactly because these are my brothers dogs. He is to you like massive golden retrievers and they're so sweet and so fun. But like every once in a while they will just decide like, we're gonna hump each other in the middle of the room.

I have gently suggested that we play at someone else's house, but the DM insists on hosting. I feel awful complaining when our DM has been so accommodating, but I truly don't think I can withstand another multi-hour humping while I try to roleplay a dramatic moment for my work. You gotta, yeah. This DM's gotta control their dogs, right? I listen to this and I'm like,

I think you gotta take your lumps and your hopes. You gotta take your hopes. What if, okay, you could go and hang out with another alpha dog or something, you know? Oh, it's show up, cover yourself in wolf urine. Yeah. There it is. That's a Dwight's food idea is what that is.

There it is. I actually feel like we solved it. I think that we solved it. What? Yeah, I feel like this is like one done. Cover yourself in wolf urine. Yeah, this is actually does work. These dogs are out of control.

All right, not to be a grig. But these dogs are out of control. All right, not to be a grinch, but these dogs are out of control. I know that they're out of control, but this person is making food, painting many things. I know, but they are putting so much heart into this that I think we need to do. When a dog is really dedicated to humping you, it's really annoying.

I know, I know. I know. Like, I definitely could not concentrate on playing a game. Yeah, no. No, that, I mean, it's completely, I, my feel for you. Yeah. Do you remember that time that Harriet, my dog, was like, humping your head because you had some sort of, like,

weird hair product in it and she just like, yeah, hair gel. She started humping her head. It was that weird thing. You put your hair in your thought. You put that in Tracks, dogs, a humping head. Okay. It was Axe.

It was Axe, hair gel. I wasn't going to call you out on it, but it was like some weird brand of Axe, hair gel that you would put in. And you got it from Herimones, we was Axe. It was Axe, hair gel. I wasn't gonna call you out on it, but it was like some weird brand of Axe hair gel that you would put in. You got it from Marimones, we're too strong. It's Axe. Okay, we all know what happens when you wear Axe. Who's full of wolf pheromones?

As someone who tried to hang out with called woman was mercilessly humped the whole time. I can say this is fucking annoying. No, I mean, I totally feel for you. Here's the thing, I totally feel for you. I just don't know. It's just I also feel for you, DM. And I also like, I'm not a disciplinarian.

I feel like this person has to just be kind of like taking the humps and the lumps. And it's like, what? I'm saying they need to be more vocal. As it's happening, you have to start laughing really hard. Because the dog humping you is only disrupting you. You need to do something that disrupts the whole entire team. No, it's really distracting for everyone.

And it's so if you laugh, the dog will just get pumped. The dog will just get excited. Thank you, everyone. We'll get excited. And the dogs get into more of a frenzy. Yeah, dogs are very performative this way. If they sense that they're getting praised, then they're just gonna hump all night.

Okay, Jake and Carl, well, you both have dogs. What are the moves to, oh God, I feel, you've even saying this, what are the moves to intimidate a dog? Be beside Wolfier and because they're already gonna be doing that. Like, is there like a posturing in one's chest? Is there, can you show your fangs?

Yeah, you have to be the dominant beast. I get down on all fours and I bark at Dingo fairly. And I chase him around my backyard, not the only way I've ever gotten him to respect me. Did you just put him in the bedroom? Yeah. Wait, I have another solution that doesn't involve Wolfier and unless you wanted to,

you just have to try to make your house, the D&D house. And that's gonna be a lot of work. You're gonna have to show up. This is not D&D advice. This is D&D court and this DM has wronged this player. Okay, wait, but I do have, I got two pieces of advice. One is off of Emily's because I feel like she's correct. You have to out host this DM.

Yeah. So you're showing up with devil dags. Yeah. You're showing up with a rule. That's really cool. I don't have devil dags that will linger over the course of like a six hour session. I don't know why I said devil digs. I literally couldn't think of another order. You would feel like 1950s hosting where they're like,

jello molds and devil digs. Okay, so you show up with mutton, okay? You show up with the other. I think what you got to do is like you have to do a one shot and invite everyone over for that and like really go all out. And then like that's how you start planting the seed that your house, which is dog home free, is going to be like the future D&D spot.

Or do you host that one shot and you, you know, the DM arrives and you have 19 dogs who are all super horny. And then you're like see how distracting it could be. Uh huh. Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah, go to a shelter, find the hornyest dogs. But I think also, if you don't even have to run a one shot,

I think if you're just like, hey guys, I really wanna try out this cake recipe and then this like slow cooked short rib recipe. So I wanna be like, we want to cook for you guys. Can I host one episode? One session. Come on over. That's a great idea.

The other possible thought is you seem a little too into it when the dogs hump. Oh my God. Yeah, I think I, so I think all of these are good enough that you can do them all. Cover yourself and Wolf, you're in. I I think, wow, there they go. All of these are good enough that you can do that law. Cover yourself in wolf urine. I pick a purr when their dogs hunt you. I'll make devil babies.

But the most, it's mostly a devil egg based. The most important thing is that we're on your side, I think, or at least I am. I also have one more suggestion, and it's a bully stick. You bring a really tough treat for the dog to eat. They will take the more conno dog treats.

I'm like a big ass dog bone for like an hour. I do that with my dog when we're having company and he gets too excited. I'll just give him a treat and he ignores everybody. That's really good. Yeah, you just put him in the bedroom with a bully stick.

That's a pretty solid solution. Just don't do one of those cheese sticks because my friend's dog went through one of those cheese sticks because I taught my friend's dog went through one of those like Whole Foods cheese sticks dog cheese sticks in like one hour and then it was the fart problem that you're talking about. Well the cheese sticks obviously you're gonna want to present those next to the devil eggs as part of your or dirt. Right. But Emily makes a great point which is that it's not it wasn't purely dog-humping that was the issue. There was also the farts and the fighting between the dogs. But I do a great point, which is that it wasn't purely dog humping that was the issue. There was also the farts and the fighting between the dogs.

But I do think working on some kind of dog tree is gonna get them away. Okay, actually this is just a good simple step. Yeah, a good step and we'll punish the DM because they are. I know this is your problem solve. They have to go to hospitality school. Do you want to send them to hospitality school? yes, this person needs to go to dog training. Yeah, they have to be a concierge at a hotel

for a year and a dog hotel. Oh, yeah, a doggy daycare. Yeah. Oh, that's good. Okay. Or the or the pet hotel from babe two pig in the city. Oh my god That's not even go there. That's actually great. We should just send the dogs to the dog hotel so that they can fuck and get it out of the way. They'll be in so much danger. So many dogs are in danger in that movie. Oh, okay, well, we'll send them to a better dog hotel.

Well, that's like a team of dogwigs. This DM needs to go work at the scary hotel from Babe 2 Pig in the city. Babe 2 Pig in the city make it safe so that it is just a beautiful movie with no conflict. Well, that's like this DM needs to go work at the scary hotel from babe to big to big. Maybe you can see they make it safe so that it is just a beautiful movie with no conflict. Yeah. That's what I would like to watch actually. Okay. It's a scared straight situation.

They go to this Pat Hotel, they open their own hotel. Okay, open a dog hotel. We've solved it. So ordered. Joey S. writes, may it please the court, I would present to you the case of the Jeannie. Oh. I was DMing a campaign for a group of friends. We've been playing together for years.

And I ended a session with them getting the ability to make one wish each from a Jeannie. I warned them outside of the game that they needed to be very careful with how they worded their wish. As Jeannie's in this world are notorious for screwing with people. Okay.

They would grant the wish but would look for any loophole to screw with the party. Okay, so it's the monkeys pod style. Yeah, yeah. Wish one. The party needed a dragon egg for a ritual, but the dragons were all extinct. So the Genie sent a party member back in time to an egg and left him there. Got him with wish too. They asked for the party member and the egg to be returned to them. So he took them to the tomb of the party member who went back in time and protected the egg. Damn, got him twice. Wish tree. They asked that the party member be resurrected. So I rolled

on the resurrection table and changed their ancestry accordingly. The other two players thought it was hilarious and loved that I was messing with them. The third player who died and came back got so mad that he quit playing and it ended the campaign that session as we only had three players. Was I wrong to screw with them even though they had a warning and two weeks to prepare the wishes or was this player out of line in the reaction? I think that I actually think that two and three

took some liberties. I think number one, the first one was a teaming messing with the wording, but I think two and three weren't really based on the wording, they were kind of just like, okay, a genie's gonna give you what you want, but not really. Right.

So I could see that. Yeah, return them to you. Yeah, and then just taking you to their grave, that's not returning. But I think that you could have given them the bones, but then I think I wish for them to come whatever the reincarnate one was. I think that that was some creative license

from the genie. I agree that it was suspect, but then you look at the outcome. This person does come back with a new ancestry. Yeah. And they have the egg that they wish for. Right. Totally, totally. Yeah.

So it's like, you just fun consequences, right? Right. You didn't fuck them over that. Yeah. You really didn't. You kind of, I mean, not that... Well, they missed out on two other wishes, basically. Right. But it's also, it's not to say that it wasn't, you know, fair or whatever. But it's like, I don't know, if hard one was a gnome the whole time, I don't know that Jake would be thrilled at that. No, I wouldn't be. Like it there's no, okay. You do have like ideas. No, just a smurfy, I would be upset.

Yeah. Yeah. That would have been like, if it was like, it was like 30 episodes in, hard one just becomes a gnome because we poorly were to win. Right, yeah. Maybe we don't finish campaign one.

Maybe the podcast doesn't continue. It'd be on walk away. It is true, I feel like you would have chosen to stay dead is what would have happened. Yeah. But I think like when you make your character or whatever, people put a lot of care into it or whatnot, so I do think it is,

you know, I don't know. I feel like if I was sitting there being like, I'm making this genie like kind of screw you guys over or whatnot. So I do think it is, you know, I don't know. I feel like if I was sitting there being like, I'm making this genie, like kind of screw you guys over or something. If I see Jake sitting there like seething, then I'm not going to keep going. You know what I mean? Yeah, I think that maybe you did something

that is like a fun idea, but maybe wasn't fun for that player. Right. And maybe that's just a matter of like playing with your players more, getting a feel for what excites them and brings them to the table. You also could have worked it out. Like you could have been like, hey, let's chat this out.

Are there other like ancestors that you would be cool with or, oh, maybe you're brought back and maybe you're undead because the wording of it is you pop back up. So you're yourself, but now you've got some kind of like zombie-esque elements or like vampire-esque elements or something like that. I feel like, yeah. There's ways to work with your players. Like I think maybe it's a little bit of an overreaction to just, you know, flip the like take the genie up on the wishes and then be very mad about the consequences. But it's like, I don't know, the game is supposed to be fun. So if you see that your players are getting into deep,

you do kind of have to figure out where you run the game where people are having fun. And also the point that they had two weeks to think of these wishes, I do think looking at the wording. They're not great. Well, no, no, no, because two and three were they had to make them up on fly, right? So I think you gave them two weeks to think of wishes

and they probably didn't even get to use to them. So there was probably a little feeling of like, well, why did you give me this homework? Yeah, wish to, I think, was also a little bit. I don't know. Yeah, you might have lost them on that. Wish was cooked. I think wish one and wish three,

I think were fair turns of the monkey paw of how they wished for it. I think number two was kind of a cop out. It was kind of just a screw you. I think so too. I feel like the wording wasn't so badly written. And you're right also that like two weeks, they only said that first wish,

the other ones they had to think of in that session. Yeah, so they're probably sitting on a fun wish that they wanted to try out and see what it was. I guess I'm trying to figure out where exactly the fault lies here, because like did the DM double down, put their foot down and say like no, that's just how it is. Like you fell for my genie trap, and then the player got mad at that,

because the player seemed like they overreacted a lot. I think so. Like storming out. Was your dog humping this player? Because I feel like adding insult to injury, that would be enough to make me leave. Yeah, maybe they wanted to leave it. The room is full of noxious canine for it,

so maybe everyone's on edge. I'm definitely a little bit of two minds on this and that like on the one hand, you kind of warned them that the genie was gonna screw them over. Yeah, absolutely. So he is kind of like, you told them what was gonna happen, but then it's just like, how are they not gonna do that?

Like, you know, they're gonna draw from the deck of many things. So why put the deck of many things in your game if it's gonna make everybody sad? You know what I mean? And the question ended with like, and my player was upset and went home and they were sad. We'd be like, 100% I sigh with the player, but the player just up and quitting

seems like a very severe reaction. I think what happened is, because you said two out of the three people were enjoying it, and then the one person who's who's the one who's character got totally changed. Yeah. Was the one who was upset, and so I think it was, you know, I think it was just you had to kind of read the room. Yeah, I think we're also, we're kind of like joking around about it being like they flipped the table or something.

It's just like they just got mad. They got mad and they stopped playing, which is, I don't know if people are doing something to your character that you don't want them to do, when there are other, I get it. It's like, if somebody's character dies or something because they go fight a terrasque by themselves or something, it's just like, just because it makes the mad,

should you not have the terrasque kill them? You should probably still have the terrasque kill them right you should probably still have the Tarasque kill them but when it's something when it's up for interpretation like this or something it's just like I know it's not by the book exactly but I do think that as the DM you're kind of you're the host of the game and you should try to make sure you have fun yeah definitely like you know you could sit there and and be like oh I will let you roll with advantage for the audience. Yeah, I was gonna say that. That would be a good solution so that they cannot

lose to pick, which they, which species they don't like. And I get that, that's home brew, but I don't know. But no, no, Murf, you've settled on something nice, which is like, as the DM, you are the host, and like literally sometimes you are hosting, you are preparing these delicious, mental, deviled eggs for your players to feast upon in their minds.

But some people are allergic to Popeye. Exactly. Yes, yeah. It is also, I mean, you guys are sitting there at a table where it's just like three of you are laughing at one person. All of the wishes only fuck over one person. He's like, they went back in time. Now they're dead.

Now they're playing somebody that they don't want to play. It's just like, okay. There's too much seasoning on the eggs. Yeah. You have to give somebody just a hard boiled egg and let them season it themselves. There's no reason to devil an egg. It sounds like it would be a fun session to me,

but I have sympathy that maybe it wouldn't be a fun session to everyone. It's such a read the room situation. Read the room does sound like a second level wizard spell by the way. Ha ha. Yeah, I would be like detect stocks, but for like more emotions. The vibe. I get how you found yourself in this situation, but I do think that yeah, and these sort of nebulous situations where you are ruling on the fly how to respond to these things. Uh-huh.

You should keep people's fun in mind. Unlike something like, oh, I go fight, I go fight a vampire lord and I'm level one. Like I'm gonna run up to Strahd's house. So, if that dude dies, that's okay. So, who are we sentencing? I think we sent into the DM here, right? Yeah, I think it's gotta be the DM,

but I feel like it's gotta be a light punishment and I think I've got something perfect for this. Of course it is. If it was a bad punishment, I'd say we put them in full Grinch makeup, Jim Carie's style, but that's like eight hours in the makeup chair. That's too much. We're just going to give them like a little who makeup

that they have to wear for the next session. Or they could also dress like that guy, schnickr, guddle. A double schnickr. A double schnickr. A double schnickr. A double schnickr. OK. What about, so it's a hoobill, but dressy outfit.

Yes, Dwight had a hoobill. I feel like, okay, so Dwight's the one with the glasses and he wears pants really high or something. Sure. Maybe. I don't know that he does all correct. Yes, yes. That sounds correct. He sits next to Jim. Dressing as a who from who will ask someone else, ask someone else, I think you could convey

all three levels of cost. You could do so. You could do Dwight as a who for sure. So that is your mission. It's a DM and accession as you need to apologize to this player. white as a who for sure. So that is your mission is to DM an expression as, you need to apologize to this player and be like, I've got something special for you. Come over, you won't be disappointed.

Okay, I'm gonna make it up to you. Just talk to your face, look at who, your face looks like a who, you wear the little glasses of the man, the high, the little glasses of the man. The little glasses of the man. the high, little glasses of the man. But then you also put on, I'm assuming that Bell's noodle has like a bell hat or something.

Yeah, he's got like a big fur hat. It looks like. Oh, wow. So does Dwight. You're really good too. You could do this. And now you have to. This could work.

Right. You could do this and you have to do this. So should it. So should it. You can do this. You have to do this. So should it. Our next case comes from Michael.

I wonder if it's Michael Scott. You really never know. Oh, you never know. You never do the original character. Yeah, it could be, it could be Michael Scott. There's no, there's no last name. There's no rules that say that Michael Scott can't be real

Michael Scott playing D&D. That would be a good episode of the office that I would watch on ABC. They never did that I don't think so. No, no if it was still on now they absolutely would okay, okay, Michael maybe Scott writes to the To the noble justices and their little pig boy. He's such grace, possibly my favorite insults today. So simple into the point. My little piggy boy, a rumpa pump, pump. I've been part of an ongoing game for a few years now. Early in the campaign, our party was playing through a corrupt company town arc with the help of a DM PC that was described as looking and sounding identical to the rock.

After bashing through the town's second and command, I asked my DM if I could check some of the bodies for loot. I was playing a tome lock and looking for scrolls for rituals. Cool. Cool. The DM said I could ask the rock, it was okay. And then proceeded to run a scene where the rock told my character, I couldn't disrespect the dead in his town by searching bodies regardless of if those people were good or not when they were alive.

This rock being so far right now is not really helping me understand the content. Right, also it's like, there were somebody died and you were saying you wanted to loot them and then they said, you need to go ask the rock first, do you? Do you though? The rock is in charge in this. Yeah, you could say you could consider asking the rock,

but you don't know. You might want to run it by. Okay. Is the rock, but you don't know. Half you might wanna run it by? Okay. Is the rock shirtless and flexing his pecs while he's delivering his mom? He's definitely wearing one of those cool tank tops that are barely on. Fuck yeah, okay.

You all know what I'm talking about. So on where the pecs come from, oh, yeah, the ones that are like so, so in the middle. Yeah, so in the middle. So in the middle. So in the middle. Yeah, so in the middle.

So in the middle. So in the middle. So in the middle. So in the middle. So in the middle. Yeah, so in the middle of the show, getting strap at the top, it's so torn, a V so deep, it's a U. No, knowing that the rock was on Death's door after the prior fight, I asked the DM if I couldn't intimidate the rock to stand down so that I could loot. He said yes, but that it would need to be a high role to be successful.

I proceeded to crit instead of the rock standing down, the DM narrated that the rock charged my character and gave me the choice to either get out of his site or roll initiative to fight. My party who hadn't been closely following this encounter turned in. The rest of the party's just like, yeah, I don't know, this is some wrestling stuff I get.

Yeah, and then they look and, oh shit, the rock's gonna kill someone. What's going on? They turned in at this moment and all demanded to know why I was trying to fight the rock our only ally in this town. Why is your table not paying attention? As a result, my character spent the next few scenes hiding in the forest nearby. When I asked the DM about the intimidation check after the game, he explained that the role was successful, but that fight or flight still exists. And when the rock is scared, he fights.

True. This is true. This is true. I argued that defeats the purpose of an intimidation check. And the DM saying I could pass the check with a high role was misleading. If truly intimidating the rock wasn't possible, the DC should have just been higher. Yeah.

Just as it is. Was I wronged by the people's champ, or should I have simply accepted that the rock was cooked? I humbly await your judgment. I think for legal reasons, we need to make clear you weren't wrong by the people's champ, unless he was also your DM. Right, yeah.

I do think you were crazy for trying to stand up to the rock, but I do think that the fact that your DM said it was possible. You're, you're pro wrestling love is warping you. You need to accuse yourself of this one. I might as well just clear example that you would be like that insane and you just started it off by being like, I'm just saying, you were crazy it off. I'm just saying. You are crazy to me.

It's crazy to me. You got to think of the DM as like the commentator at this moment. They said this is going to be an insanely high check because the Rock is so charismatic. So they knew going in that it was going to be tricky and they passed it. They went for it. I will say and when the rock is a heel, the rock would sometimes be cowardly. So the rock, you know, run away and stuff like that, send other people

and do his fights for him. So interesting. It kind of depends on which the rock we're getting here. Mm. Yeah. My feeling is that you were totally wrong. This sounds crazy, but I'm also really laughing at the fact that your table is checked out.

Yeah, yeah. Checked out. Dude, what are you doing? There's a bunch of red flags here. I'm really the fun. Yeah. Your table was checked out, then came back in to get mad at you isn't fair. Yeah.

That's kind of what you had to hide in the forest for selling. And the fact that you were trying to loot something and then the DM said, you should check with the rock. Why? The rock doesn't have to know. Why? Yeah, that is not the point of a DMPC. Yeah.

You're like, hey, you're not doing this how I want you to do it. You should ask Bound or if this is okay. It's also a crit robbery. Because the fact that the rock was on DeathStore, so also you can absolutely wrap your head around the fact that someone who is normally a brick wall you couldn't get through in a completely weakened state would be like, I need to do whatever the fuck you want. Just get out of my town afterwards. Yeah, there's the way that you can play the rock like intimidated but not showing it.

Like, I don't fucking fuck. Yeah. He's a pecs start quivering because he's so flustered. Yeah, go ahead do it if you have no honor. Yeah, totally. But just being like, yeah, try to intimidate him. No, I'm gonna charge you. He's intimidated. And therefore, I mean, hypothetically, you could say someone could be intimidated and then fight you. It's just, it just is kind of antithetical to the intention of the rule. This is, it's true of Dwayne Johnson, but not of D&D. So I think that is the real issue. That when the rock is intimidated, he fights, which is a great quote. I feel like that's such a weird thing that I feel like I could see it in like a this

creature if someone tries to intimidate it and they succeed gets a free melee attack or so like I could see it being in some creature's weird staff block because I think the fact that the DM said it was possible. You could say it's impossible true. Right, you could just say you can't intimidate the rock if you're just going to be fully silly or you could say like it's a DC 40 and you can't get that even with a crit or something like that. Once the DM laid out that it was possible,

they were wronged ya. If you wanted to do like what M was saying and have like, you know, like, oh, you intimidate this bear or something like that and it's gonna take a swipe. I think even as the DM, you'd kind of be like, this bear looks like it's going into like fight or flight mode so it might still attack even if you try to like mess with it, you know what I mean?

Like I think you can kind of wink, wink, let your players know what's going on. That's so funny that you had to hide in the forest for days. While the rock is... Did you have to then watch your party interact with the rock and then just cut back to you every once in a while and do a survival check to find out if he forged enough mushrooms to survive another day. The block is like, oh, you know what? Maybe we should loot these bodies after all, why not?

Everybody else splits the scrolls. They're having such a good time with the rock. He's replaced you in every way. He's actually taking levels in your class now. I want to have it a great time. I think the rock becomes a tome lock I think the way you play the rock intimidated is you have the rock respect you Rock sees you as kind of an equal. Oh, that's his brain is working over time

No, I think that's the rock has completely derailed Mervs ability to think of this as d&D and not as this NPC is actually the rock. I think Mervs onto something though. Like I could see the rock like putting down his tiny little sunglasses that he used to wear. And he'd be like, I don't understand why you're doing this, but you must have a goddamn good reason. Yeah.

His terms is back. I think we're going with a bunch of good ways. I think the DM was just wrong. Yeah, the DM was for sure wrong. The DM just didn't want you to deal was just wrong. Yeah, the deal was for the deal just didn't want you to loop for whatever reason. Yeah, yeah. I think the DM is unfortunately acting a little bit like a gibbonian this situation. Oh, that's cool. They could just wear like a outfit covered in the word draboni. They dress up like Dwight Shrewd as a who, but every time someone asks what they're wearing,

you say I'm a Joproni. Right, and you have to get the brum of Bull tattoo. So you're Dwight as a who, but you have the tattoo that Barack got removed, I bet. It's, it's still, it's right there in front of us. Dwight, the Shrewd Johnson. Oh. Oh, interesting. Dwight, that'srewd Johnson. Oh. Oh, interesting Dwight.

That's that I for I totally forgot they shared a name. Oh, wait, no, they don't win. No, it just it made me forget the rocks, name. It's so close to almost being good, but it is unfortunately bad. I love just swimming in a sea of all of your guys references and not knowing what's real. I'm not.

White the true Johnson. Right, yeah, makes sense. It was so, it was so bad that it made me think it was good. How dare you. That's my charm, that's my spell, Jake. You mystified me. I was stupified for a second. That's my heart.

Do I think, I think it's really good actually. I'm hearing it in my head a lot. That's my turn. Do I think? I think it's really good actually. I'm hearing it in my head a lot. Yeah, it sounds good. I think it's not really good. Okay, we're back in. Do you think maybe they have to replace the rock with Dwight the Shrewd Johnson in their campus?

Oh, that's good. Yeah. And I also dress as him in the way people say. Are you dressed as Dwight Shrewd? You had to say, I'm a Jirbroney. I'm being a Jirbroney. But all of them are those who's yes, yeah, yeah, dress as shrews. You dress as shrews with the problem of all tests. Who's a shrews?

All right, cool. So ordered. Can I say so ordered? So ordered. So ordered. We can get out. We can finally punish them. All right, great. so ordered. Can I say so ordered? So ordered, so ordered. We sufficiently punished them. All right, great. That's for sure. And with that, why don't we step into church to really get into that holiday spirit everybody? Wow, we'll go and visit Dice Christ. There we go.

Let's cleanse ourselves of our grinsley ways, yes. This confession comes from Verdugo. I confess to the court that I believe I may have committed a grave sin against Dicecrice. I may fairly new DM and my players recently fought a Medusa. They defeated her, but not before three of them became petrified by her gaze. They were only level five and couldn't cast greater restoration yet, but I had given them a spell scroll beforehand so they were able to restore one person. However, that still left two people permanently petrified.

Those two players laughed it off and quickly rolled up new characters in the next session, but I realized something afterwards. When you have to make the saving throw against the Medusa's gaze, you can't instead choose to look away in exchange for disadvantage on your next attack. In the heat of the battle,

I'd forgotten to give my players this option and the two players may have never been petrified if they had had the choice to look away. I told my players about my mistake and they seemed to be okay with it, but I still feel bad. Can I ever be absolved of accidentally killing off two of my PCs?

I humbly await the judgment of Dice Christ. I feel like you're being so hard on yourself. A lot of DMing is like, holy shit, there were three paragraphs to read, and I forgot one sentence. But it's also the players would need to ask that. Yes. You could tell them that if you're being a nice DM,

but that's the sort of thing we're like, if a player's like, is there any way I can avoid this? Roll me an inside check, something like that. Yeah, a hard S DM could do that, and it would be fair. I do think that, yeah, you are not, you don't have to tell people like a monster stats

or like the trick to beat them or something like that. Yeah, yeah. But if a player asks and it is on the sheet and it says like you can do an attack with disadvantage, then I do think you have to tell them. But if the players didn't ask, I don't think you've done anything wrong. If you forget something on your monster sheet,

that's just home brew. Like you just home brew. You're home brew. You have a super strong, but you don't get to do that. Mistakes are just home brews that haven't been played test. Wow, put that in a plastic. Oh, put it on a mug.

Put it on a shirt. That's gorgeous. Place it next to your stocking's foot. I also think in general, like you really can't, you, I feel like as a DM, you are going to just make mistakes and you can't be like feeling. I mean, I understand it had like really, really great consequences for the campaign, but like, you know, I know we had in a home game, somebody was frozen by a, I forget, I guess it was like a basil.

It was a basil. Yeah, it was a basilisk. and then part of the adventure was then We're all carrying around nuggets frozen petrified bodies. Yeah, we were carrying Somebody's petrified body, which was fun. Yeah, it's just like you can save them eventually. Yeah, yeah, it's also It's like very fun for the player because they'll get to roll a new character Yeah, you just get to be like constantly looking back at like bird shitting on the statue of your old character. It's gonna be a lot of goofs. There's a lot of goofs baked into that premise.

It's bad boy can all have a lot of goofs. You're not guaranteed at all. Like I don't think I would have taken that deal, you know, attack with this advantage. I was gonna say. I think I'm like, no, I'm gonna try to save and I wanna attack and kill the Medusa because that's the point of the mission, you know? Yeah. That is fair that they might have just been like, no, I'm gonna try to save and I wanna attack and kill the Medusa, because that's the point of the mission.

That is fair that they might have just been like, no, I'm gonna do it and fail anyways. Well, yeah, because then they attack with this advantage and they don't hit and then the Medusa kills them another way. You're gonna have had a TPK if it had gone differently. It's just a sliding doors moment. You'll never ever know.

But your players were happy and they laughed. And that's like, you're spending mysterious ways. Yeah. And now that could be like a fun little team building session for your players, is they all get to paint the statue now. So it looks a little more like the person was, or you can like make a different colors. You can kind of do like a, uh, color me mind pottery studio, but for the petrified players. And you could paint that statue as a who? Dwight Shrewd, as a who? As a who? With the rocks tattoos.

I personally like it the most when it's a who? Dress desk a character from TV, rather than a character from TV. Just as a who, okay. It's got to be a who is the base. Yeah, who is going to be the same? Who's the core? It's a who core. Okay, start with a who? We're all going from there. You going to be the third? Who's going to be the third? It's really cool.

Okay, start with a who go from there. You have to be a, it's, it's who based. A who dressed as the rock in that iconic outfit, but they have a piece. Yeah, that I got it. Which one? The one where he's wearing a turtle neck. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that's what I got. I don't know if you could. Yeah, I do that do that is iconic. He just has that little mousey face that the Hoos have, and maybe a big tall hat, and he's playing a BuzzWazer or a Scum trumpet, one of the many popular Hoos instruments. Great. Great.

And he's sitting next to Jim from the office, because I think at that point, it's the only way you would know this way. Or you could have the guys' little glasses. Right, man's little glasses. The man's little glasses. And the high pants. And the high pants at first.

Jim, did you steal my little glasses? That's just a quote from the office. Just imagining sending that picture to the rock and the rock with his very positive online voice. Happen to respond to you just being like, hey bud, no, this is this is the rising grad lifestyle. Great work with the costume. That's awesome. Keep it up, man. Keep it up. Keep up whatever you're doing. Creativity works in a lot of ways and I can see that you're very, very driven.

I addressed this to my three favorite people, a random move from Whoville, Dwight Shrewd and you. Next week, we are all about layered costumes. You just say, the love it. Vance popping in the rock head as a j a justify grotto way to be nice to you. Okay. Anyway, sir, can I have a DVD or not? We never figured out because like trick or treat, it's like you get the trick or the treat.

There's two options. What is the other option in the DVD? It's just DVD. DVD. This is DVD. Yeah. DVD. Yeah, because being honest, like, trick isn't really an option in trick or treat.

Yeah. You get so ex at someone's house. It's always an option. Yeah, but you usually also got candy. That's true. Yeah, you come back and do the eggs after you get the candy. I never ever rang a doorbell in the person's like, I have no candy, but you can try to fool me on some way.

I kind of lucked you little shit. How about DVTree, and you can either plant a tree or get a DVD. And with that, let's go ahead and wrap this one up.
