Were it the hero dudes or the veggies that died?

Veggies, thankfully. They couldn't hit shit. Except for my rogue.

As an aside, from earlier:

Just got to the imaginative dramatization of Sir Pratchett's final days. No thank you good man, I am not reading that right now. I cannot schedule such feelings at the moment.

Fuck you and good day.

Here’s a good discussion prompt: What’re some of favorite one-liners you or your group memebers have spouted?

Mine would probably be:

“Gee, thanks, but I’d rather not be in the employ of the god of the MENSTRUAL CYCLE”

-My Lawful Evil Warlock, after being offered a position at the side of the BBEG who was attempting to become the god of blood. I was very quickly focused down in the ensuing fight.

Or maybe:

“My Cleric can beat up your Cleric”

-Me, a War Cleric, to the Healbot Cleric’s player.

"Kneel before Father Ilymic!" (Spelling?)
*zaps me for 90 damage*
*I still have 30up left*
"No. YOU KNEEL!"
*deal 130~ damage to the squishy psion bad guy*

-I was a half Celestial Afflicted Werebear Paladin 6/Hellreaver 3 wielding Exordius

Actually even more than that, as there's now only one "kit" per class still listed, all the others have been removed despite appearing in the core book.

Ah well. I guess there's been a bit more cracking down on copyright stuff.
That's because there's only one subclass per class in the 5e Open Gaming License.

I hate swingy combat. Four hero dudes VS. 10 veggie bois. 45 minutes later, they're all dead. Every roll was sub 10, except for my one 18 in the previous fight that missed because AC 20 lel.

Every hit took a vegeboi down, but the hits were few and far between.
How low is your attack bonus that you can't hit a 20 on a roll of 18? Sounds like a personal problem to me.

I've got a character concept rolling around in my head that I felt like jotting down.

Basically I wanted to create as close to a stereotypically Canadian 'nice guy' as I can. I figure a Lawful Good something or other with a habit of dressing in red check flannelette shirts, whose father is a lumberjack 'up north,' who cooks treats for the party such as pancakes and bacon for breakfast, apologizes regularly for inconveniencing people, and constantly ends his sentences in 'eh?'

I think that'd be a fun stereotype to explore in an RPG.
Adam Koebel (an actual Canadian and co-creator of Dungeon World) basically played that character in a Dungeon World one-shot last Christmas.

18 total, sorry. So really, it was probably a roll of 12 or 13.

Must be a play-by-post thing.

Edit: Unrelated, I like that my group draws from a deck of critfail cards despite playing online.  I think we videoshared the draw like once, now we just believe the GM like with everything else.  And yet we still get excited for the draw we can't see XD

What do you use to play online? I know you can make custom decks of cards in roll20, which I've seen used in a few games. One of the features I wish maptools had.

We use roll20, and yeah we've played with the card system for funsies.  Particularly when the GM is busy with something.
A friend (who implemented the Edge of the Empire dice for us) confirmed that the deck *can* be edited, but ehhh.  Roll20 totally cheats :P  We'd rather trust our GM.

If I was gonna play D&D online it'd probably be over tabletop simulator and voice-only.  Anything else is just not the same.
