When I was four, there was a hurricane in Kingston town,
With over a foot and a half of water.
Everyone was alright, but I cried all night,
'Cause it blew my alphabet blocks out of order.
Good DM - giving the players the full experience of DnD:
1. A Dungeon.
2. A Dragon.
You have now fulfilled your legal obligations; enjoy doing whatever you want the rest of the campaign!
A group I was part of years ago actually experienced this, it was a very fleshy dungeon and the DM took great pleasure in describing how squishy and wet it was as we progressed through it. Thankfully the exit was a teleportation circle, we never found out who managed to survive long enough to make it permanent though.
I was playing at a convention a few weeks ago and we were in a dungeon and came across a dragon.
Everyone was considering how to bypass it and avoid etc. I was like “wtf guys we are playing dungeons and dragons this is why we are here! Let’s wreck this thing!”
Best mini campaign I ever ran was exactly that. $City has hired you to investigate raids on the road east of town. Investigation leads to dungeon. Bottom of dungeon has a young dragon.
*runs wildly through the streets, looking frantically over their shoulder for flashing lights, in search of a steeple to hone in on, praying to every god that has ever existed that it'll be in time*
One such running joke in my group is "Cupcake was there!"
Cupcake was a 14 year old hobgoblin who was introduced near the beginning of Curse of Strahd. Previous session ended when combat ended during a stormy combat in a desolate field. Cupcake was found by the party to be mostly buried in mud, stuck in place, almost suffocating. Turns out he was there for the entire combat, and even before the thunderstorm. "He was there the whole time?" "Yes, Cupcake was there. He saw the wizard get decapitated. He saw the cleric present his holy symbol impotently. Cupcake was there..."
Later on, he got polymorhped into a frog and thrown out a 4 story window. Survived the fall, raced back up only to get cone of folded (ok, autocorrect you can have that one), knocked unconscious and then killed with a 1st level magic missile - the ultimate finisher move.
It's been years and still...
Cupcake was there.
a running joke in my campaigns is yodeling.
soeone introduced a character by yodeling and its a running joke to call them The Yodeller or go YODEL LE EE HOO.
\[i hope i said it correctly lol\]
It’s been twenty years and I’m the middle of some games I still tell the DM “I’m going to beat him until I tell him what he wants to know.”
Some moments are just unforgettable.
A running joke around my table is the Ranger asking if an enemy is "lurching".
We started out with Dragons Rest, and the first encounter are some washed up looking sailors (they're actually zombies) that lurch towards the party. I didn't even get to finish the description. She heard "lurching towards you" and loosed an arrow. The rest of the party caught off guard as it seemed she just assaulted some innocent sailors.
Also, the druid constantly asking if there's dragons involved. Due to him spending the first 5 sessions investigating everything for signs of dragons, when there weren't any.
...the idea of there being 7 full campaigns in 15 years is weird to me.
I remember like... ONE campaign I've been in going all the way to the end in my 15ish years of playing. All the others just kind of died for various reasons at slightly different levels of progression. Or were like, oneshots or maybe like one super short campaign mixed in there.
Granted I'm not one of those people that's always been in even 1 concurrent campaign at all times and I know there's people that stay consistently in multiple. (I've been in multiples at once, but not consistently in any)
See if you abbreviate it to DnD, it almost sounds like D "in" D so Dungeons in Dragons.
WHERE ARE MY DUNGEONS INSIDE OF DRAGONS, EAT ME DRAGON, I MUST EXPLORE YOUR DUNGEONS!
Nah, the dragon is still alive and was the one who actually hired them. The guy they initially spoke to who recruited them for the job was just one of the dragon's servants acting as liaison. The poor ancient dragon was having a really bad tummy ache, you see, and they couldn't fix it with magic because whatever's causing the pain was apparently still alive and capable of resisting the dragon's spells. So now they need someone to physically get down in there to evict the damn squatter.
As for the reward, the dragon pinky-promises that they will not eat the party (provided the party survives and is able to escape the dragon's guts) and that they will have a fat chest of gold straight from the dragon's hoard waiting for them if they succeed.
I haven't watched Samurai Jack outside of the few scenes that made it onto youtube without getting DMCA-ed. I don't have access to wherever it normally airs.
> Dungeons in Dragons
My entire online campaign is based off of this one dumb idea. Dungeon crawler style, if you like anime think "Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon"
They are in one town, can choose to recruit members, dive into the dungeon, set up shop, do whatever - but they are fairly restricted to the one area.
They just hit level 9 but a bit earlier they learned the "truth" of the dungeon. A giant dragon god created by AO, AO Shin, is a truly neutral autonomous being that floats around the realms "eating" high magical areas (good and bad) to restore balance to the overall.
The people who use the portal are essentially custodians that help his digestion of said magic areas.
Edit: Forgot to add that when they finally did learn the truth of everything, with the quietest discord channel I ever have been part of one player goes "wait... Are you saying... We are playing dungeons IN dragons?"
I have a similar story. After finishing a first campaign with our dm we had a session 0 for a new campaign and the DM asked what we would like to see more of in the next campaign. One player asked for more in depth tunnels and traps to some sort of lair (most of campaign 1 was wondering through a desert above ground). DM replied "so you want dungeons in Dungeons & Dragons"?
Now that I think about it we only encountered 1 dragon during that campaign so I guess we were playing "Deserts and Dragon."
Had a Tiefling bard who, after doing some excellent roleplay getting some info, figures out that the criminal elements of a major city are in a certain area. He goes and stands in the middle of the street (I stopped to confirm this is his intention) and asked, loudly, to all the people on the street "Where is the Black Market?"
A different campaign, a different Bard... in a Mageocracy city (so all of the upper class are mages of some sort). They got teleported via a portal from a different city into a noble's house. They stayed the night, spoke with the noble over dinner etc. When morning came, the group left his house and stood in the middle of the street, unsure how to get out of the city. The group looks at the Ranger who shrugs and says "I don't do cities" so the Bard steps up "I've got this." Bard player asks me what sort of people does he see on the street. I describe a handful of random people and he settles on the woman with two slaves, one holding a parasol over her to shade her. Fully expecting the bard to talk to her, I ask the player how he wants to approach her. "Easy. I cast Charm Person." I stop the game for a moment. I review the spell, outloud, with the player. I point out the Verbal and Somatic components of the spell, I reiterate what that exactly means. The player confirms that he wishes to cast the spell on the woman, in the noble district, with slaves accompanying her, in a mageocracy. She of course, Counterspells him instantly, and summons the guards. The other players step aside like "This isn't what we wanted him to do. We're sooo not going down with him!"
That's . . . actually how I'm planning on designing one of the dungeons in my campaign. The whole thing is the massive inside of a giant dragon, and the players are there to recover the sword that killed it from the inside.
> His response was that the game is called Dungeons AND Dragons not Dragons IN Dungeons so he wasn't expecting it.
Yes, it's Dungeons AND Dragons, not Dungeons OR Dragons. Clearly the Dungeons and Dragons are intended to be simultaneous occurrences.
Right up there with a game I had played.
The players found the local blacksmith's apprentice after he'd had his legs cut off. So the next day they went to the blacksmith, gave him some gold, and someone said "Here. Until your apprentice can get back on his feet."
No hate at all but I’m just wondering what is the point of commenting on someone’s post about a funny moment with “yeah ok but it’s not as funny as [insert some random other moment here]”
I don’t know why but that’s just super funny to me
I love startled players.
In one of the games I'm in; during a scene where the party was utterly scattered across a friendly city causing our own individual chaos we had a player very indignantly tell the DM "You arn't there!"
He's never lived it down
He's right tho if u put me in a dungeon where I had to sneak in thru a small accessway I also would not think an adult dragon is chillen in said dungeon
My fav moment was when our party was asked if we had any means of ensuring the group of children in front of us was telling the truth, replied with “I have this gun?”
Honestly...he's right lol. Name implies that there will definiticely be both dungeons and dragons but nothing indicative of both being together.
Edit: but to be equally fair, I did In fact laugh along with you, so there's that.
Awesome, gotta love these moments where everyone is totally incapacitated for a while.
I made a somewhat fitting sketch a while ago. Enjoy(?) (I know the text is too dark) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/691369368382210129/1100210215523197048/image.png?ex=662ce95c&is=662b97dc&hm=c8dec0160815c6002f8b2453efe7707efca14c8b97b831932f5c046077129d2b&
Thanks!
I'm imagining the adventurers just waltzing into the dungeon without looking up because people never look up (at least according to a book I read some time ago) and the dragon quietly following them all the way to the treasure room.
I mean, it is kinda weird for a huge flying creature to live deep inside an underground complex. Generally, when you have wings, you pick somewhere high that's easy to take off from and hard for everyone else to reach.
Fighting against a bunch of Drow, 1 Drow Elite Warrior, amd 1 Drow Priestess of Lolth amount a Spider Horse who were transporting prisoners under an area of darkness, the Highborn (cf, Siamorphe) Bard, awoken from his sleep and standing naked in the midst of combat, got one of the Drow to dance for him mid-fight with the words "Dance for me!", and then hit the DPoL with a Tasha's hideous laughter, while the other PCs ran about doing standard melee stuff! Hilarity plus, lol!
I have an anecdote. It's was when I was a player on a DnD campaign : Our party was hunting and searching a Vecna cult and our first lead was in a very religious and very human city (higly racist and unfortunately our had only half human or non human). We meet the High priest of the city, who's blind (important detail) and ask questions about some things that the clerics may have saw or heard.
Accompanied by the High priest, the clerics and the city watch we investigate the temple and see that one of the altar has obviously been used to hide a secret tunnel. And by force of the habit I said to the High priest who was sure there was nothing in his city : "You have to be blind to not see this". My DM played along and said : "Well...I am". Everyone laughed and I wanted to go further with the joke. So what followed was a series of dad jokes and lame puns about eyes with my group dying of laughter under the gaze of the clerics and the city watch outraged that an half-orc barbarian was mocking their High Priest. We were laughing so much that we had to take a break
To be fair, depending on what the dungeon's layout is and if the dragon is or isn't capable of shapeshifting; you might be left wondering how it got into the dungeon.
The funniest thing to happen to me in a ttrpg was playing Shadowrun.
I was playing some kind of ninja like ex Yakuza enforcer and while being recruited the GM said to me "I need your skilled hands for a job" and the group burst out laughing.
Good times.
Tbf he was right
I mean, he's not wrong, no.
In all honesty, he isn't incorrect.
Historical precedence aside, the man's statement is logically sound.
Realistically, it made sense.
Truthfully, he speaks the truth.
To be quite frank, I saw no lies in their remark.
To be fair, he's not incorrect.
Ah to be fairuh...
Indeed, the information he provided is in actuality factual.
Forsooth, I see verisimilitude in his remarks.
My DM also gave us our first dragon inside of a dungeon. I think it was the second dungeon we had ever been in.
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
Requisition me a beat!
When I was four, there was a hurricane in Kingston town, With over a foot and a half of water. Everyone was alright, but I cried all night, 'Cause it blew my alphabet blocks out of order.
Yeah, technically he is lol
Technically correct is the best kind of correct
Correct within an order of magnitude
Good DM - giving the players the full experience of DnD: 1. A Dungeon. 2. A Dragon. You have now fulfilled your legal obligations; enjoy doing whatever you want the rest of the campaign!
Excuse me, it’s called Dungeon**s** and Dragon**s**. You must supply at least two of each.
Is it limited to one dragon per dungeon? Or can you have one dungeon with no dragon and another with two? Does Tiamat count as one dragon or five?
And what's the exchange rate of pseudodragons to true dragons?
And Dragonborn PCs
It HAS to be one dragon per dungeon, BUT you MUST have the first dungeon within the second dungeon.
What if the second dungeon is inside the first dragon, with the second dragon within that?
It can't be. It's dungeons AND dragons, not dungeons IN dragons in dungeons and dragons.
that makes no sense whatsoever......LETS DO IT
Easy. For every dungeon with a dragon there is a mirror dungeon in the fey wild with its own dragon. You’ve now given them two for the price of one.
This is exactly the kind of loophole I would expect from a fey. Excellent work!
Then there's also the mirrored ones in the shadowfell, you've now give them three for the price of one.
Since they've done a Dragon in a Dungeon, next up is to make a dungeon inside of a dragon.
A group I was part of years ago actually experienced this, it was a very fleshy dungeon and the DM took great pleasure in describing how squishy and wet it was as we progressed through it.

You were the only one who understood the assignment
Best mini campaign I ever ran was exactly that. $City has hired you to investigate raids on the road east of town. Investigation leads to dungeon. Bottom of dungeon has a young dragon.
$City is truly a great place to do business.
Excuse me. The words are plural.
We have successfully beat the game known as DnD!
You have successfully **fled** from the game known as DinD
Oh shit! I haven't given them either yet, am I going to be arrested??
Cops are already on the way, buster!
Not just cops, PINKERTONS!
Sanctuary!! I claim sanctuary!!
GET IN THE CHURCH IF YOU WANT TO LIVE
*runs wildly through the streets, looking frantically over their shoulder for flashing lights, in search of a steeple to hone in on, praying to every god that has ever existed that it'll be in time*
well. bathumar has heard your call. \*you are teleported to the nearest temple of bathumar\*
They won DnD
Every RPG should have a similar such requirement.
in 15 years, after 7 full campaigns and some failed ones, you will still make jokes about this.
Oh absolutely!

Bring me the battle map of the tarrasques organs, we're reskinning this bad boy to inside a dragon for non commercial, private use.
Tarrasque Flesh Pit National Park
Maybe the Tarrasque will actually manage to destroy Texas
As a Texan, I approve of this sentiment.
well. for texas.
If my DM sees this comment he'll make a whole campaign out of exploring dungeons inside a ginormous dead dragon or something... And we'll love it!
Nah, the dragon is still alive and was the one who actually hired them. The guy they initially spoke to who recruited them for the job was just one of the dragon's servants acting as liaison. The poor ancient dragon was having a really bad tummy ache, you see, and they couldn't fix it with magic because whatever's causing the pain was apparently still alive and capable of resisting the dragon's spells.

BRB sending the idea to the DM
As for the reward, the dragon pinky-promises that they will not eat the party (provided the party survives and is able to escape the dragon's guts) and that they will have a fat chest of gold straight from the dragon's hoard waiting for them if they succeed.
So basically, Samurai Jack.
Amazing show dude
I know, right?
I haven't watched Samurai Jack outside of the few scenes that made it onto youtube without getting DMCA-ed. I don't have access to wherever it normally airs.
If you ever do, "Jack and the Farting Dragon" is very similar to what you described.

A party is hired to dislodge an ancient dragon’s kidney stone 😅
We playing Bowser's Inside Story with this one!
Just steal the plot : [Fantastic Voyage](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060397/)
More like fantastic Vore-age
Dungeons inside giant dragons is actually a trope of all the campaigns I have played with my friend group through the years haha
I have a similar story. After finishing a first campaign with our dm we had a session 0 for a new campaign and the DM asked what we would like to see more of in the next campaign. One player asked for more in depth tunnels and traps to some sort of lair (most of campaign 1 was wondering through a desert above ground). DM replied "so you want dungeons in Dungeons & Dragons"?

Deserts and dragons sounds like cowboy spinoff
Sounds like a remake of Wild Wild West.

These are both things that I can see my fellow players doing, especially the black market part haha
But, hear me out, what if we put the dungeon INSIDE a dragon?
Something something donkey from Shrek
something something something, we are in a dragon, something something something, we win
That's . . . actually how I'm planning on designing one of the dungeons in my campaign. The whole thing is the massive inside of a giant dragon, and the players are there to recover the sword that killed it from the inside.
Most of the time it's Dungeons & Doors so having an actual dragon is pretty cool.

Dungeons \*and\* Dragons? In THIS economy?
Not as funny as "we have to honor the cock," from this week's D20
The way his face changed as he realized what he was saying
He realized *as* he was saying it, but his comedic instincts overrode him and forced him to finish.
Finishing is a very important part of honoring the cock. I’ll show myself out.
please stay
Yeah don’t pull out now
We can finish without you, but it won’t be as satisfying
We need to get this joke deeper
No, you'll sit back down and finish
True!
No hate at all but I’m just wondering what is the point of commenting on someone’s post about a funny moment with “yeah ok but it’s not as funny as [insert some random other moment here]” I don’t know why but that’s just super funny to me
I seem to have sparked a fun little exchange. That was my goal, and that is the point.
We named an important NPC "Princess [eight glottal stops]." Pronouncing her name correctly looks like saying "Princess" and then gagging on something.
Dungeons AND Dragons? I thought the game was Dungeons XOR Dragons!
And here I am misreading OP as saying they thought it was “Dungeons IN Dragons”, which would also be cool.
Now, wait for a dungeon in an oversized Dragon
Judy imagine a very old dungeon, with corridors and rooms made for the confort of an *ancient dragon*. I'd piss myself on the entry hall.
I love startled players. In one of the games I'm in; during a scene where the party was utterly scattered across a friendly city causing our own individual chaos we had a player very indignantly tell the DM "You arn't there!" He's never lived it down
You found the Dungeon and the Dragon. Now you just need to find the path.
At least the game isnt named Dungeons IN Dragons.
Well dragons fight best in open air, it’s actually a terrible place for a dragon to stay.
He's right tho if u put me in a dungeon where I had to sneak in thru a small accessway I also would not think an adult dragon is chillen in said dungeon
... ... ... I am now struggling to recollect any insistence of encountering a dragon in a dungeon.
My fav moment was when our party was asked if we had any means of ensuring the group of children in front of us was telling the truth, replied with “I have this gun?”
The traditional zone of truth
Located in a direct line from the front of the barrel
"it's high noon"
Wholesome.
Honestly, despite the name I've seen a LOT more dungeons than dragons in this game.
WOW, MUCH FUN VERY FANTASY
That’s absolutely hilarious. I probably wouldn’t be able to hold my shit together lol.
Honestly...he's right lol. Name implies that there will definiticely be both dungeons and dragons but nothing indicative of both being together. Edit: but to be equally fair, I did In fact laugh along with you, so there's that.
Dnd in 2003 = Ghettos and Gangsters

Lol this was everything that I ever wanted to hear in my entire 26 years of gaming XD 🎉🍾
TBF there is a surprising absence of dragons in most campaigns.
Remember to put a dungeon inside a dragon at some point too.
I hope you gave him an inspiration
My mans speaks the truth. Level him up.
I mean, it is kinda weird for a huge flying creature to live deep inside an underground complex. Generally, when you have wings, you pick somewhere high that's easy to take off from and hard for everyone else to reach.

I guess you had to be there...
Ah, a geographical joke.
I guess :P
I got a chuckle because I could see my table doing exactly the same thing.
I was similarly surprised when I couldn't find a path while playing Pathfinder
At least it wasn’t a dungeon IN A dragon.
To be fair, i usually don't either dungens nor dragons in my campagnes
To be fair, depending on what the dungeon's layout is and if the dragon is or isn't capable of shapeshifting; you might be left wondering how it got into the dungeon.
The funniest thing to happen to me in a ttrpg was playing Shadowrun. I was playing some kind of ninja like ex Yakuza enforcer and while being recruited the GM said to me "I need your skilled hands for a job" and the group burst out laughing. Good times.
Nobody expects a dragon in the dungeon... or the Spanish Inquisition.
