Watch the Footage

Mine would have to be the first time I played a Dread Necromancer. The campaign I played with him sent him against Elementals, Constructs, and Catfolk. So basically the entire campaign was everyone in the party being awesome and me hiding behind a rock throwing out orbs that turned into animals praying that the giant Earth Elemental didn't step on me again. But I got the last laugh when we defeated all the pirates and stole their cursed vessel. I found the core of the ship and absorbed its magic into me and cast a massive create undead spell, killed my party, and then rode off in style to plague the ocean with death and disease.

Moral of the story? Don't steal a Necromancers sandwich.

Is this only D&D? I only play Savage Worlds.

I suppose any pen and paper game.

OKAY THEN. I have a ton of crazy stories. But first off, I have to say that the setting to all of them is an amalgam of various Pokemon games. Mainly Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, but it's mixed in with the main series, Ranger, the games set in Orre, etc. All one setting.

Moving on, which story do you want to hear first: Missingno, Dreamworld, Quil, Luma, or Kricketune?

Just the craziest one you can think of.

...I'll just tell it from beginning to end. Also please note that I may misremember some things.

First, I guess I should tell you the significant PCS and NPCs. I play a Zangoose named Zain and a Sevier named Kebi. There's a Rotom named BM, a Flareon named Kera, a Scyther named Rite(pronounced Right), an Arbok named Oath(Formerly didn't have a name, gained during adventure), a Smeargle named Zalgine, a Flaafy named Maels, and a Treecko named Fuzzy. Those are all the PC. The NPCs are as follows: A Riolu named Lien, a Nidorina named Paige, a Snivy named Cass(Short for Casimir), a Lopunny named Vaughn, a Delibird named Otis, a Smeargle named Lamont, a Charmander named Phoebe, a Charmeleon named Gavin, a Porygon designated S77-Z, and an archen named Adoler.

There are others there, but they weren't really significant enough to the story.

It begins in a region named Ilaan, separate enough from the other regions that there aren't any humans there. Zain, Loo, BM, Quil(A Quilava), Zalgine, Pryto(An Absol), and Kera enter an unnamed and mostly-unfinished town with a guild. They all eventually get directed into one group by a Plusle and Minun named Irwin and Aubin, respectively. once all of them are rounded up, they get lead to Lamont the Guildmaster for inspection/interview. After that's done, each of the PCs get a guild badge and bag and are told to rest.

Enter Spectre(A Gallade). He comes at night and is directed to the guildmaster as well. Spectre tells Lamont that he's a demon. To prove it, he throws a couple of rocks. When it's over, he's given a badge and bag, too. He then leaves the town to wander through the night. He gets ambushed by a flock of Zubat and faints. He wakes up to a pack of Poochyena that decided to hold him hostage. He argues a bit with them, eats a poisonous berry from a plant, and promptly faints again.

Group A(Minus Pryto, who disappeared after the first session) then wakes up and is given their first mission: Rescue Spectre. They get ready, Quil flirts with everyone(Including Zain, which males Loo jealous. Loo and Zain are mates.) They eventually get to the pack of Poochyena and Quil convinces them to give Spectre back, but not before Zain and Quil argue. They eventually give Spectre to Gavin, who's the doctor. Things have basically settled down and people are doing their own thing. Quil flirts with Paige and apologizes to Zain while others note that Otis has a lot of junk in his store and ask him where he got it from.

He points them to a cave, which eventually leads to a spiral pathway leading down and a giant hole in the middle. That leads to a T section which contains a river. That indicates that the junk is washing up from somewhere, so they decide to invesgtigate further another day.

Before that another day, Cass is just out in the open being sad.Kebi arrives in the city, gets his bag and badge from Lamont, and goes out to explore the town and meet everyone. Quil flirts with Serle, a Zangoose, and then Cass. Cass turns Quil down, so the Quilava leaves in a huff. Kebi approaches Cass and cheers him up, saying that he can go on an exploration with them. He agrees, saying he needs time away from the group he came with(A Prinplup named Jared and 2 Bastiodon) because he feels like he was forced into being here by his father.

Another day comes, and Lien, Kebi, BM, Zalgine, Kera, Cass, Fuzzy, and Verne investigate the river, going upstream. They hit a short climb along the way and a Pignite Harge Ham Luchadore named El Cerdo Caliente. El Cerdo wears a mask and cape even. Kera mops the floor with him, and El Cerdo says he doesn't have enough honor to wear the hat and cape. They're left alone as the group continues on(Without Cerdo). They encounter and defeat a group of Unown blocking their way. Fuzzy decides to kidnap one. They eventually reach an abandoned and partially destroyed lab. Inside, they find a bunch of research papers the Pokemon can't read because human writing and a couple of Pokeballs. One contained S77-Z. The other contained Missingno.

Missingno attacks with glitch attacks and dissolves the Unown that Fuzzy kidnapped. Zalgine sketches one of the Missingno's glitch attacks. It's eventually defeated and the group assess the damage. BM gathers up as much of the papers scattered around as he can, and they all go back.

They eventually go back some other day and encounter glitch squares. Glitch squares become the main enemy of the game. There are also regular glitch squares, which Zalgine takes to collecting. Not many major plot developments happen besodes Fuzzy kidnapping a Zubat from the cave, Quil running out of town after Paige encouraged him to swim in a lake, and other small events. One such other small event was finding a clearing nearby the town which contained a ghost Charmander named Phoebe. She doesn't remember much of anything, just that she can't leave the clearing.

Besides that, the PCs get to know more about the NPCs in town, such as Kile the Mudkip, Wilmot the Farfetch'd, and Metuka the Probopass. BM collected a glitchy peach and decided to give it to Kera for keeping. Miese the Espeon also arrives in this time period. He's from the nearby hidden village that Kebi came from. He's upset because Kebi was in danger, and Kebi makes a big deal about not wanting their covers blown. It turns out Kebi was telling everyone a fake name and was sent to the guild town to investigate it. They eventually go back to the abandoned lab in order to search for more things. This is where Shit hits the fan. In the town, Zain, Zalgine, Loo, and Miese decide to investigate the river downstream.

Zalgine runs upstream and exits the cave, finding some more glitch squares. He connects them all together and a blast of static erupts from the collected glitchsquares.

Meanwhile, back with the group investigating the abandoned lab, they had found a mountain path and decide to follow it. However, they all faint when the static blast reaches them. Meanwhile, back with Loo, Zain, and Miese, they all get the fuck back to town and find out that the town was quadrisected into the four seasons. Yes, that means Summer, Spring, Fall, and Winter were all within walking distance from each other. Various other things happened, such as there now being TWO Kiles, muffins raining down from the sky, Mammy the Mamoswine's oven cooking foods instantly, and the job posting board not working anymore. Zain takes this as a hint that things have gotten too dangerous for Loo and sends him back to Hoenn.

Days later, group A finally awakens from fainting. They're in Kebi's village. Bad news for him, because he wanted to keep everyone from finding out about it. They're interrogated by a Mienshao named Adiel and a Krokorok named Beslen. Kebi is asked to report to a Scrafty known as Boss about the guild. He does so and is given the assignment to further investigate it. Kebi sort of freaks out about everyone knowing about his village while Boss doesn't really care. Yet everyone who isn't a native to the hidden village gets a blindfold so that don't remember where it is. Kera takes offense to this and is attacked by Adiel to fainting.

They all go back to the guild town and report back to Lamont. Things wind down again and Cass makes a decision to finally tell Jared what's been going on. Jared tells both Cass and Kebi that Cass's father, Vaughn(A Serperior), arranged for all of this so Cass breaks out of it and becomes more independant. That actually happened, but not the way it was supposed to happen. Jared praises Kebi and other pokemon mingle. Someone comes to the group and say that something bad's happening in the main guild building.

It turns out that everyone inside are currently unconscious. The group that was there to fight missingno are the only Pokemon that may enter the guild hall unhindered. They enter Lamont's office(Lamont is surprisingly not fainted) and a painting Zalgine painted in there days ago has 4.4 exit from it. The group plus Lamont battle the glitch Pokemon into nothingness and it turns out Lamont is a badass. Also it turns out that Phoebe is now alive and in the guild town.

Some days after that, Kebi, Rite, Cass, Lien, Zain, BM, Verne, Maels, and S77-Z decide to investigate if there are other abandoned labs. They go through the cave, and see that the first abandoned lab is now just a crater. They go past it and find what they set out to search for. But this abandoned laboratory is trapped. They get past the traps and find Adoler. They interrogate him for a while and it turns out he as in that lab, alone, for months with nothing to eat but stale crackers and other stale food. The group ecides to stay overnight. After that, the decide to go back to the guild, bringing Adoler along. Things wind down again and they go off to investigate a possible THIRD abandoned lab.

They do so and investigate the lab further. The group enters a glitchportal through a transformer in the lab. They battle glitches in the shape of fossil Pokemon. After that, they fiddle with stuff until they enter normal land again, and decide to fiddle with other machinery. The group eventually causes another glitchwave to erupt, but no negative side-effects seem to happen. When exiting, they meet a trio of Pokemon: Luma the Snivy, Petti the Plusle, and Mjolner the Pikachu.

They decide to head back to the guild with the trio. Along the way, they notice that the abanoned lab that was missing is now not missing. They continue to the guild. Once they exit the cave, they encounter Paige, a Lucario named Lien, and a Castform named BM.

It turns out that they entered an alternate universe where For Want Of A Nail and In Spite Of A Nail had both happened. Kebi was not ordered to go to the guild, so he wasn't there to cheer Cass up, and so the Snivy skipped town and returned to Unova. BM didn't die. Zain wasn't the leader of her pack of Zangoose(This pissed her off a ton). Lien was more mature, so she evolved.

The group eventually decide to take a breather and stay a day. The next day, Luma freaks out, trying to rush into the cave alone. She is eventually corned to keep herself from being harmed or otherwise ambushed by wild Pokemon and/or glitch Pokemon, and she faints. Cass was beginning to fall or her, but realized she was too unstable, so he backed out. Kebi decides to take a few Pokemon to alt!Kebi's hidden village to check if things are okay there. But before they go, they're greeted by an Arbok. A Chaotic Evil Arbok. Things go Awry when Zain meets the Arbok. The Zangoose gets pissed off when her racism towards snakes interrupts the group's plans. BM slaps her to cause her to hate BM's very existence and stomps off.

The group eventually convinces the Arbok to stay. ...Or did they? The Arbok follows their trail nonetheless. The group arrives at alt!Kebi's village and things are okay. They stay there overnight and Oath gets his name by taking an oath to protect the group so no one else has dibs on them as prey. They head back to the alt!guild and stay a little more. They find out that the Phoebe they found dead in the clearing isn't the Phoebe that belongs in the universe she's in. And there's no Kile in this universe. And that Rite killed Oath in Universe A. However, in Universe B, Oath is the one that killed Rite.

When they eventually decide to return back to their original universe, they decide to take Oath along. So they go back to the abandoned lab they fiddled with, fiddled with it again, and made it to take them back to their own universe. They head back to main!guild town and wind down a little. However, when sleeping one day, an earthquake happens and Lamont briefs them that there's nothing to be concerned about.

Everyone goes back to sleep and wakes up in the morning. Kebi finds out that his entire village is now in the town. It turns out the village was attacked by some glitch Pokemon.Oath, Cass, Kebi, BM, Paige, Lien, Rite, Verne, S77-Z, Maels, and Adoler decide to check out a now-abandoned Kebi's village in order to clear the glitch Pokemon from it. They do so and decide to search to see if they missed anything.

BM eventually finds a rift portally thing in the town. Everyone enters it, and they're in some sort of glitchrealm with walkways made of static. TV static. They follow a path for a couple of hours and eventually find another rift thing, and enter it. They're now in some sort of wilderness area. Cass recognizes it and says they're now in Unova.

Cass decides to go to his father's noble estate. Yes, that's right. Casimir Albrecht is nobility. They all get debriefed and decide to stay overnight. They all get fed a noble's meal. They eventually head back to the guild town. They wind down, planning on what to do next for a couple of days. The group plus alt!Phoebe decide to try and investigate the cave again when they meet Zalgine and alt!Zalgine. Both of them occupying the same space at once. His mind had been too corrupted by the glitches and he now attacks everyone on sight. After fainting both of them, a massive glitch Pokemon erupts from Zalgine's mouth. The group battle the glitch, defeat it, and a rift appears.

They decide to see that's on the other side of the rift. It's the alt!Universe, so they take both Zalgines back over to alt!Gavin to have him recover. They decide to hand alt!Phebe to alt!Gavin and take main!Phoebe. Things are quiet for a little more before the group decides to go back to the abandoned lab that Luma, Mjolner, and Perri were rescued from because that lab had humans spotted near it.

They formulate a plan and head on over to that lab. However, when they encounter a blood trail to the original abandoned lab, they find alt!Lien in bad shape. They take her back over to main!Universe and return to the labs the net day. They encounter an Electrike owned by the Scientists. He reminds the group how crazy the events have gotten and ho used to it they are. After some more planning, BM tries to sneak by the humans by having others cause a distraction. It doesn't exactly work, Zain gets attacked by Night Train the Bastiodon and they retreat back to a different lab.

The next day, they do more planning and decide to send in the Electrike in to help describe the situation and that they mean no harm. They wait an hour and the Electrike returns, ushering them all in the abandoned lab. Eventually, the humans and Pokemon all get along. Maels plays Poker with a human named Gustave and Oath talks to a sharp-eyed woman. They stay overnight. When morning comes, the final stretch happens. The group enters the basement and enter a rift in a machine and...

It begins in a region named Ilaan, separate enough from the other regions that there aren't any humans there. Zain, Loo, BM, Quil(A Quilava), Zalgine, Pryto(An Absol), Rite, Kebi, and Kera enter an unnamed and mostly-unfinished town with a guild. They all eventually get directed into one group by a Plusle and Minun named Irwin and Aubin, respectively. Or, they would be, if the glitches continued to mess with their minds. BM, Cass, Rite, Oath, Verne, Lien, Paige, Zain, Kebi, and S77-Z regroup and travel into Lamont's office, where they notice that Zalgine's painting is there. They all decide to enter through the painting and end up in a glitchspace with 2 glitch Pokemon awaiting a fight.

The fight ensues, and an ability the glitch Pokemon have is to switch tow different Pokemon's bodies. BM got to feel what it was like to be alive again, Kebi got to feel what it was like to have limbs(and what it was like to be a woman), and others got to experience other things. The glitches were all defeated and they were expelled out of glitchspace. They said their goodbyes to the humans, went back to alt!guild town, said their goodbyes there, and went back to main!guild town. They gave back alt!Kile and alt!Lien and got main!Zalgine in return.

The town was returned to normal. There was no more quadrisection and suchlike. Lamont had gathered everyone up in the square to make an announcement about how the group saved not one, but two universes from destruction. Then Lamont's partner(A Kricketune), revealed himself to be a Mew. He congratulated the group and admitted he just cobbled together the first people he could find and that Palkia was about to just destroy Ilaan. More exposition dump about things happen about stuff, and things wind down again. Many people begin talking about leaving Ilaan to go explore elsewhere, including Adiel. Kebi like likes Adiel, yet he doesn't want to leave his village. This causes him to go into a Heroic BSOD for a while. He eventually recovers after a few weeks of thinking and decides to go with Adiel.

Then Kera came and the peach in her bag tried to attack the group. It was defeated extremely easily. Even later on, a Hitmontop named Yoshiro, a Jolteon named Rai, a Pidgey named Sies, and a Noctowl named Barnes arrive at guild town, now called Flux. They're searching for an ancient artifact called The Speaker's Scimitar.

The end.
