I’ve always wanted to run a Rick and Morty-esque Dungeons & Dragons game where the characters are asynchronistic / from a non-D&D universe, and are aware that they’re stuck in a game that only exists in the minds of the players. Their main role, apart from surviving, is figuring out how to continue existing, or escape the game altogether. Meanwhile the D&D universe, as usual, is going through some fucked up shit with monsters and evil assholes.
I haven’t figured out a mechanism for how they might be able to “escape” yet though lol. Maybe defeating the BBEG sends them back to their own universe somehow?
After besting the BBEG, they discover a set of plans for 3d printable minis. You could print/order them printed and have them ready to hand out after the campaign, or if its a long-distance game, distribute the 3d files so the players can print them themselves.
Bam, they’re given physical form that can persist beyond just memory. Monkeys paw-esque twist: they can now be used for other D&D campaigns with more monsters and evil assholes.
They don’t- they figure out how to send copies of themselves back, but the originals can never return.
Allows for closure and for the characters to persist in the world for more adventures.
Don’t worry, Ralph. It won’t hurt. You won’t even register it happening.
If there’s nothing left of Ralph, had he ever even existed to begin with?
Who?
Like the passengers of the Titan Sub
(shifts glasses on nose)
This is only true if everyone reading the image has problems moving material from short-term to long-term memory.
But don’t we expect different Ralphs to exist in each of our minds and memories? My Ralph will probably have ceased to exist by tomorrow.
Bye Ralph
:'(
Thank you for the closure.
Ralph is a character, not a person. He never existed in the first place.
Ralph, you privileged piece of shit. You don’t know what fear is.
It’s OK Ralph, you’ve been reposted so often that you have a long life ahead of you
Sorry, Ralph. Nothing personal, kiddo.
what if im someone’s ralph and my existence ceases the moment they stop think abo
“I’m scared” said cally
In this reality I imagine ralph to be omnipotent, he moved to a different reality, problem solved.
Yes but Ralph can always exist again by reposting this meme.
Ralph can exist longer than me, in theory, he is immortal.
Don’t worry folks. I have looked this stick figure in the eye with an apologetic half smile.
Bye, Ralph!
