this is the funniest gif i’ve seen all week what the fuck is going on
the best part is this isn’t even HALF the relentless bullshit insanity that goes on in robot sumo wrestling, a sport where the contestants are all hyperfast robots with scoop attachments and preprogrammed moves.
(this one wants to be a beyblade when it grows up)
the idea is to include as many unique moves as you can, to make your shrieking deathbot difficult to counter
or dodging. that works too.
also, some of the speed demons have… unorthodox attachments to fool other bot’s sensors
WIIINGS MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRR
robot sumo is also a sport where spectators may end up taking a small robot to the shins if they aren’t careful.
Friend of mine asked the GM if his friend could join our campaign. Graduated with a bachelors in fine arts and my friend thought he would bring interesting role-play to our games. So all of us start thinking to ourselves “this guys gonna be at Bard” but we were all surprised to find he actually was a Monk.
And not just a monk. The Bob Ross of monks. The nicest yet simultaneously the most terrifying character we’d ever witnessed. This is the story of how he beat the first serious boss of our campaign.
We were pinned behind cover vs a Gunslinger.
Gunslinger: “Come out. Come out. Wherever you are SO I CAN SHOOT YOU!”
Party talks about what to do and Monk is silent.
Then, as we are talking, he yells, “Ok. I’ll come out, but you better make that shot count!”
Monk OOC: “So there’s about 40 ft between me and him right?”
GM: “Yeah, and your speed would let you get there.”
Monk OOC: “Ok, but I deliberately want to walk slow enough so he gets a chance to shoot me.”
GM: “Uh, ok. Sure.”
Monk going towards him slowly: “Show me what you’ve got.”
Gunslinger: “You’re some kind of stupid, boy!” *Shoots*
GM: “That’s a hit. You take.”
Monk OOC: “I use Snatch Arrows.”
GM: “Wait…does that work on bullets?”
-One Rulebook Check later-
GM: “Ok so the rifle goes off and *Monk* reaches up faster than any of you can see and catches the bullet with two fingers. *Gunslinger* turns white as a sheet.”
Monk then proceeds to walk up and take a seat next to the guy, putting an arm around his shoulders while holding the bullet in his other hand.
Monk: “Hey, friend. Looks like you almost lost this. Good thing I grabbed it for you, huh? Why don’t you put the gun down before you lose any more?”
Monk OOC: “In case it’s not clear that’s an intimidate.”
GM: “Ok, roll for me.”
Nat 20
GM: “Of course it is. *Gunslinger* immediately puts his gun down in front of him and actually starts crying.”
Monk patting Gunslinger’s back: “Aw, there, there buddy. You almost got me. Why don’t you come with us now? Hands behind your back please. I’d hate to have to chase you.”
Our Wizard OOC to my friend: “So why did you never tell us your friend was Ace Ventura?”
