Pretty sure this is happening in my game

Ah man did this just spoil The Good Place for me?
iamthetot@sh.itjust.works No. But you should binge season 1 ASAP before people start telling you why it doesn’t.

Nah, just a workable screenshot

I remember a one-shot that had a twist like that - followed by the twist of the recently disarmed fighter removing his armored gauntlets, pointing at the traitor, and casting the system’s equivalent of Magic Missile. As he pulled his magic sheet out of his pocket he explained that he’d just been a misleadingly strong and well-armored wizard all along but hadn’t told anyone but the GM.
That was a fun little moment.

stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com I was going to do this to my table. We only have 2 PCs currently (my wife and stepson), so I gave them a GMPC guide who was supposed to be the BBEG in disguise.
But they came to love the GMPC, and I can’t do that to them, so now he’s just their pet human.
That’s probably where I’d plan for a later twist where the GMPC was actually the BBEG at one point but got replaced by the current, more ruthless BBEG. There’d be a whole succession of people of varying evilness sharing the same name and title. Kind of like a Dread Pirate Roberts situation.

I’ve seen season 1, but it was a long time ago.

No. Are you watching it? One of my favorite series of all time.

Time for a rewatch!

No they both just have sinister laughing face. This is actually in response to a clown doing a hijink

Yes, but what about elevensieth times?

Having the traitor in the party, has a binary result, it’es either one of the best campaign you’ll play, or a horror story, no middle ground
It’s certainly one way to get the table to listen to you when you tell them for the last goddamn time, you’re not DMing the next campaign…

The Good Place is unspoilable, I enjoyed it much more when I knew some of the plot points beforehand.

This happened in my game. I spoke with the player about having his character swapped with another version of him from an alternate universe, and he was down for it. Then it happened in game. None of the players realized it. This went on for years (literal real time years) before he betrayed them. It was delicious.
Of course literal time years. It would be about a decade before an actual ingame year has passed.

I will say it like this: That is a frame from the show. At some point, Michael and Eleanor stand next to each other and laugh. When you get to this moment, you will not think this meme is a spoiler.
Now go watch it.

Do y’all not handwave down/travel time?

What’s funnier is when everyone already knows you’re playing an evil character, but all their attempts to prove it in-game, even through meta-gaming, fail because the dice are on my side (evil). The best was when the DM just gave me an ability to straight up magically kill 1 person a day with a touch attack and I killed the main quest giver. Just to test it out. I was all alone with him and through my extremely high skills of deception and persuasion–and the paladin’s shitty dice rolls–I convinced the party they died of a heart attack.
