Binders are just hipster clerics

[Greenish]

Best. Thread. Ever.

Eh, I liked it before it became mainstream.

[Gorgondantess]

Eh, I liked it before it became mainstream.

Ugh. Making comments about liking the thread before it became mainstream has become so mainstream.
Metahumor is just... too mainstream.

[Lemonus]

Just found and read this thread. And it is awesome. Particularly the Qeen Parody.

Fireballs and Lightning, Fear spells are Frightening?

I agree that the line should be changed to this. (Minus the question mark)

[grarrrg]

I say you replace [guitar solo] with [Perform: Guitar check]

Also, I will second Gullintanni. Best thread derail EVER.

Guitars are too mainstream. It should be replaced with [Perform: Lute, Mandolin, Sitar, Oud Check]

[dextercorvia]

I liked this thread when it was a spontaneous bohemian outpouring. Now that you are trying to make the song work, it's like you sold out, and went all mainstream.

If we sold out, where is our money?

[dextercorvia]

I'm just going to hold on to it, ironically, until you finish the song.

[nedz]

Awesome thread

Why
Little high, little low,
Surely
Rollin' high, rollin' low,

[nedz]

And what the heck is a Bohemian?

I thought it was in germany.

Not anymore.

Bohemian//Hipster:
I was into Germany, like, before it was Germany. But Germany, like, Germany became a regular mainstream kind of country. I'm not into Germany any more. I'm into another state, naah, its not one you would have heard of.

[Tyndmyr]

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Took 8d6 in a landslide...
No Plane Shift from reality...

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see!
I'm just a VoP Monk, I need no sympathy...
'Cause I'm easy come, easy go.
rollin' high, rollin' low,
Any way the Gust of Wind blows, <- Still seems too long. Im considering a control weather or other reference to shorten it up some.
Doesn't really matter to me. To me...

Mama, just Coup-de-Grace'd a man
Put a crossbow to his head,
Failed his Fort save, now he's dead.
Mama, CharGen had just begun...
Throw away my sheet at level 1! <---Doesn't entirely flow instead of "now I've gone and thrown it all away". It's a decent alternate flow, but I'd prefer to keep the original flow of the song.
Mama oOoh, Didn't mean to cast that die,
Natural 1, I won't be adventurin' tomorrow!
Carry on! Carry on, cause this PC didn't matter.

Too late, my init has come...
Shivering Touch rolls down my spine,
Dex damage aching all the time.
Mama, the game had just begun. <- I feel like this matches the tempo of the previous verse. Doesn't really fit here. The original line is "Goodbye everybody, I've got to go". I think we need an additional line or something.
But now I've gone and thrown my books away.
I don't wanna die, I sometimes wish I'd never rolled stats at all!

I see a little silhouetto of a mage!
Saving throw! Saving throw! What is your Fortitude!?
Fireballs and lightning! Fear is very fright'ning to me!
Gary Gygax (Gary Gygax) Gary Gygax (Gary Gygax) Gary Gygax wrote em all! He wrote them aah-ah-ah-all.
I'm just a VoP Monk, nobody loves me.
He's just a VoP Monk, from a lawful family!
Spare his HP from this monstrosity!
Easy save, easy hit, will you let me roll?
Saving throw: NONE! We will not let you roll.
(Spell Resistance)
Saving throw: NONE! We will not let you roll.
(Spell Resistance)
Will not let you roll!
(Spell Resist)
Will not let you roll!
(Penetratio-o-o-on!)
Roll! Roll! Roll! Roll! Roll! Roll! Roll!
Oh Bahamut! Oh Bahamut! Oh Bahamut, let me roll!
Asmodeus has a Pit Fiend set aside for me!
For me! For ME!

[Perform: Guitar, Solo DC: 24]

So you think you can stop me with that No-Save-Just-Die!?
So you beat my resistance by rolling real high!?
Oh baby, party got me res'd baby!
Just gotta port out, gonna teleport outta here!

This campaign's really ending, Tier 1's ruining my day...
This campaign's really ending,
This campaign really ends in...TPK

Cause that's the way the dice roll...



Aright, few minor changes to incorporate other suggestions and attempt to keep it close to the original music without getting wordy. Got a coupla points I'd like suggestions on, though.

[CaptainPlatypus]

I was making noncontributing comments about how awesome threads are before that got all popular.

[Eldan]

And if a gust of Wind blows,
Doesn't really matter to me, to me.

[Geigan]

Anyway the die rolls
Doesn't really matter to me, to me

I don't like sticking to the first suggested line. It's too mainstream.

[Morph Bark]

And if a gust of Wind blows,
Doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Sounds good to me.

Also, "Goodbye everybody, I've got to go" could be substituted with "goodbye my party, I've got to fly".

Suddenly...

Spoiler

Show

...and now for something completely different!

[Veyr]

Anyway the die rolls
Doesn't really matter to me, to me

Personally, I like this version best.

[The Cat Goddess]

And if a gust of Wind blows,
Doesn't really matter to me, to me.

"When the Gust of Wind blows" fits the tempo of the song better.

For the opening line...

"Is this the game night?
do you play D and D?"

[The Rabbler]

Throw away my sheet at level 1!

how about "but now I've gone and thrown my sheet away"?

"Is this the game night?
do you play D and D?"

EDIT: also, this.

[Draz74]

For the opening line...

"Is this the game night?
do you play D and D?"

I dunno, I kind of liked the existentialism of the in-game fantasy character asking questions that were leading to the conclusion that his life was, in fact, fantasy.

Existentialism is so 9 minutes ago...

I assumed we were talking from the player's perspective. I'm not sure our characters know that we leave their fate up to a die roll.

Prussia, why thats such a gone country mann.

[Draconi Redfir]

How do you even worship a dead god? isn’t that the same as worshiping a god that doesn’t exist?

[IthroZada]

How do you even worship a dead god? isn’t that the same as worshiping a god that doesn’t exist?

How does that even strike you as odd? Ancestor worship is, or was, a pretty common thing to do. Worshiping the dead has plenty of real world examples.

[nedz]

Now a gust of wind blows
scans like the original

[Draconi Redfir]

I mean in a D&Dverse. Goids grant clerics their powers right? How can a worshiper of a dead got have any powers whatsoever if the god in question is too dead to grant them?

[Greenish]

The same way you break other rules trying to limit caster's power: with a FR feat.

[RaginChangeling]

Not quite, Clerics can also worship ideas or ideals and it gives them power as well. So worshipping a dead god is really no different than worshipping a live one with the notable exception of not having them talk back when you get a high enough level.

A wizard did it.
Or he would have, but that's SOOO mainstream.
