So there was a horrible dnd after school activity club when i was in midleschool, but it was a learning point to me. Somehow multiple players from all sorts of groups tryed/wanted to play as Shrek but most of them were turned down, some managed to sneak by though.

Anyone have a similar story by chance of someone wanting to play as a meme?

    A friend of a friend played as a scruffy ranger. Bounty Hunter background. Had a big dog companion. Wasn’t until they clarified that the dog was a great dane named Scooby that the others figured it out.

    Heard of another case of a gnomish monk, way of the drunken master. Apparently chosen entirely so they could say “I’m a little drunk”.

    My first character was based on the classic meme of “an atheist in D&D”. I was then told the setting did not have proven gods, so being atheist was relatively normal. So I stepped it up and didn’t believe in magic either.

    It was a fun character to play, honestly.

    You mean like playing an old man coming from the north, wearing a big blue coat, riding an enchanted slight in the air with reindeer companions, carring a big bag of holding and having a big cane as weapon?

    I have no idea what you are talking about ;)
