Yeah, okay.

>>21950536
Rubbing ones body against another persons body in a sexual manner

>>21950586
Dude, it's clearly not about "making a woman marry a corpse", it's allowing her to have her wedding with the man she was to wed even though he died as a way of helping her to overcome the trauma of what happened to her. These guys were all recent deaths so it wouldn't be like she was macking on some horrible decomposed corpse.

Sounds like you deserve an alignment shift towards good, OP.

>>21950607

>>21950551

KFAB. I know what it means, I was just using it ironically.

>>21950620
Except it does. Heck, i've heard of people wanting to symbolically marry their lovers corpse even today.

>>21950624
Does no one see this as a genderflipped Corpse Bride?

>>21950586
Most settings basically tie in that evil necromancers use the souls of their victims as a sort of power source. Fluff excuse for why a necromancer might have ten times as many minions as a player character of the same level.

You could theoretically say him marrying the two would be a way to passify the soul of the dead man, and give the girl some manner of closure. I'm assuming the corpse is fresh enough that she's not eating maggot soup either, given natural sources of decay (flies, bacteria) can't sustain themselves on flesh pumped full of negative energy unless they themselves are magickan.

>>21950643

Yes, the keyword there being *symbolically.*

You know what we call the people who actually marry their lover's corpse and then fuck the dead body? FUCKING CRAZY.

>>21950648

The difference is the Corpse Bride is, y'know, sapient, or even fucking aware, he just animated a mindless puppet.

>>21950648
NO.
Because the corpse bride had feelings and shit. This man corpse is being manipulated by the necromancer, no feelings whatsoever.

>>21950527
>>21950551
This is why I love /tg/.

>>21950659
Noone said anything about fucking afterwards. Marriage isn't only about sex. And if he really is a good guy he will let the corpse of her husband rest after the ceremony. If she would've hated it she wouldve fought or ran.

>Dead bodies grinding on some girl and each other.
We can all agree that the DM is worse than OP.

>>21950705
Or at the very least he was trying to make the most unpleasant necromancer possible to contract OP, by making him a hedonist necrophile.

>>21950717
>contrast
Fuck I'm not hitting keys right today.

I actually posted this to see your reaction about this /tg/

The girl did overcome her trauma eventually, but was rather creeped out by the whole thing of course. The DM was unsure about changing my alignment, but finally it turned into NG after I opted to sponsor the victims burials.

I should probably mention the murderer came back possessed by some sort of demon. Our fighter cleaved his head off. I kept the head and struck it on a dead dog's corpse. Used is as a companion. The team always let the beast finish off murderers and criminals.

>>21950555
At least tell us the fiance zombie got buried after this.

>>21950555
I D'awwwed. Good job, OP.

>>21950717
>>21950705

I'm not seeing this. If he isn'T making the girl and the corpse sleep together afterwards this isnt necrophillic, just a sort of bitter-sweet romantic.

If they really loved each other, but never managed to get to marrying (maybe the lover first wanted to get the dowry together) giving her a last happy memory before sending him of and making her feel better is pure goodness.

>>21950750
Your entire party, including the DM, is fucked.

>>21950782

We are.

When there was some sort of a orc horde threatening to attack a city, our party snuck into their camp at night. The Rogue managed to backstab their chieftain.

At morning when they came out to attack the city, I raised the body of the chieftain and made him curse them for all eternity and then cut his own head off.

It worked.

>>21950836
That is pretty neat.

>>21950836
Damn, I wish I could get my players to play like this. They never get creative, or anything. They don't even think like their characters would, and when they have out of game knowledge, they try and use it as though their characters knew about it. I hate playing with them...

>>21950882

Since the story received SOME positive responses (I expected most of you to flip out), I could share some other stories. We roleplayed this group for a long time, so there are some tales to tell. If you're interested.

>>21950555


For shame OP

you were suppose to kill the girl then reanimate her for a corpse bride wedding

do not forget the mandatory song

Man, I want to GM for this group sometime.

Just not D&D

So I need to explain some things about our group before I get to the next story.

>Our Half-Orc was an orphan who was ostracized from every city because of his heritage. He learned to fight but was thrown out/imprisoned whenever someone attacked him. He finally got 'adopted' by a group of mercenaries. He now travels around looking for coin, but refuses to let go of his morality
>Our dwarf was cast out from his clan for a crime he did not commit, wandered around a bit. Finally he joined a church and became a priest devoted to bringing the truth to light
>The Rogue was your typical small-time thief, until some of her partners tricked her, and she was almost hanged. Our first session involved running into her as she his from the guards.

You can probably see the pattern here.

My character was a young mage who followed his mentor to a war between some two dukes. He witnessed a lot of death, and the things people did with the bodies of their enemies/captives really did a number on him. He fled and taken up necromancy to 'be the one who understands the dead'

>>21950961
I'm not that guy, but does using "create wonderous food and drink" as a cleric to convince orcs you are a god of plenty count as a good story?

Because people without divine casters are really easily taken in by that shit.

>DM has corpses being used to sexually molest the living and mock their loss
>PC performs corpse-puppet wedding (more below)
>mass murderer/necromancer comes back as undead demon host
>mass murderer is stitched into (still-undead?) man-dog as punishment
>using animated bodies of a leader to terrorize his subjects into submission
This sounds like what you might call a "vile" campaign. Necromancy isn't evil in D&D because of negative energy. (Negative energy is the hand-wavy "evil juice" that thematically ties together a bunch of things that would be considered evil anyway, to simplify mechanics.) No, necromancy is evil because it combines the worst aspects of grave-robbing, is a cruel mockery of life (like the grinding, the wedding, the and the man-dog), a base abuse of another's person's body. A body isn't like a bike you can justify stealing because "no one is using it right now". It's part of someone. It used to be someone. It still has meaning to other people, and it can be used to manipulate someone still in the afterlife. Hell, he admits to using a dead leader to cow and entire people.

As for what OP was trying to do: I can appreciate he was trying to be nice and give her closure. At the same time, ridiculously creepy, and still evil necromancy. I wouldn't rule for an alignment shift one way or the other, because this kind of thing indicates to me a very, very confused (read: nigh mad) person.

At the same time, this brings up an important thing about good and evil: intent is not everything. You can have good intentions and do evil things. You can do evil things without recognizing them. In fact, some of the worst evil is probably done in this way. A tyrant can rule harshly because he believes it is necessary (in his mind he is justified, and a victim of the situation), not just because he doesn't care or because he delights in evil for evil's sake. Very few villains recognize themselves as villains.

So our DM had a plot that strung through all of the quests: the murders, the orc horde, everything.

The whole thing was orchestrated by some sort of a demon/minor god of Fraud (I think? English isn't our native tongue, but I think that hits pretty close). He generally got his kicks by making people do bad things then cover them up, or manipulate the truth.

We learned this during one particularly shocking quest.

(I haven't written this one down, so I'll be more brief, I don't want to make up things)

>>21951099
Well, the corpse wedding was something highly depending on personal morality. I've read up on them in real life a bit after OP's story and the comments were equally divided as we seem to be. I guess its just a matter of how you were raised. You can't really say if its mad or sane.

>>21951141

>We are visiting some small region ruled by a duke called Arnika
>Things seem pretty calm around here, the people are rather happy
>We went there because our last quest ended up with the villian telling us "Go to Arnika! GO TO ARNIKA" before he was locked away
>We visit the duke to question him about this (The madman was his former advisor, or something).
>The Duke tells us as much as he can (It wasn't a lot) while saying things "Oh Agnes, she could tell you more" or "Agnes would have been more helpful"
>Turns out Agnes was his sister who got murdered a few years ago, the killer was never found
>We immediately understand that this is why we came here

>Without much choice we go to sleep

>We follow them, keeping distance

>Seems reasonable enough

>We follow the crowd into the woods. The DM describes them as acting like animals

I wish I had a story about playing a cool Necromancer but it usually just comes down to my group bickering and infighting about which bodies I should animate before some how turning into some sort of undead postal service or cargo company.

Its sort of an ongoing joke now.

I hate it when people on /tg/ set up there story with nearly 3 posts worth of boring and irrelevant context before getting too the actual story, especially in green text.

This was a terribly boring story up until the end and full of detail that was completely unnecessary and equally uninteresting.

Agreed, if this ends with the deceased husband being buried or if she does not not go insane and try to treat him as if he was alive, this is nice. If it ends in sex, DM is horrible person. If she goes insane and becomes a BBEG, well, that good always be interesting.

whats so bad with using the environment and the tidbits of plot the dm seeded to you? Its obvious Duke Smilie has a thing for kids so it would be to his benefit in combat if he used that advantage against the enemy.

Its people who get so hung up or scared to do something that ruin Necromancers because they apply their own morality rather than their characters morality in a world full of divinities and magic thats already so fucked up and crazy .

This kind of wants me to storytime the 3.5 campaign that my friends and I went through over the course of five years.

>>21951703
>>21951686

Well...Okay.

The villagers tore the thing apart, then marched through the city laughing. The description was really graphic, but I don't really remember much of it. They even went as far as to decalre that from now on it's going to be a national holiday.

And they'll keep the body parts.

We got the fuck out of there as fast as we could.

>>21951637
>>21951419

Oh man. Thank you guys.

It's my first time posting a story on this board. I was really afraid I'll get called out on being really fucking weird (Which I am) and that I should get the fuck out.

For the record: I never actually thought that my character is 'good'. I did try to play him as a twisted, yet sort of positive character, but I understood that his morality might be ambiguous to some people.

Also I love necromancers, and hate that they're always shown as evil bastards. You probably guessed that by now.

>>21951737
>>21951698
>>21951689

Okay...I'll need to ask my friends if they remember some other stories. I'll leave the battle with the demongod for finale. So far only two things come to mind.

1) The adventure after the one I just described. It involves elves, heritage and war. Also more werid undead shit. But no spoilers.
2) The time when we had to return to our Priest's home city. It involved dwarven beard-punching, angry rants, politics and the Half-Orc being a total bro.

Also, anyone else getting problems with /tg/? I can't post shit for periods of time...

>>21951754

So wait, what was the underlying point to the whole crazy mock battle in the woods?

>>21951754
If you like Necromancers not being evil, check out the Diablo book series. They're generally the epitome of neutrality.

>>21951803
Yeah, it looks like 4chan is shitting itself. Can't get a bloody post through. Wee. OP, where on Earth do you live that you can find such good gaming? I need to make a pilgrimage.

>>21951818

I guess it was to show that the townspeople are fucking crazy. And they were all a part of this denial thing. We later discusse if we should stay behind and do something about them. But there was a lot of them and we had a quest ahead of us.

By the way. Would it be too much to ask to archive this thread? People seem to enjoy it and I'd very much like to show it to my co-players. If that's okay I mean.

>>21951884
all threads are archived, for a time. Look for it on foolz I believe

You.

You know how to do a non-evil Necromancer right.

What >21950961 said. I wish to take notes.

I love stories like this. You and your group are awesome, OP.

I'd like this thread to be archived. I have a buddy of mine who'd never forgive me if I didn't show this too him.

>>21951909

Oh okay. Thanks. I'm a horrible, horrible newfag.

So any suggestions about the title/description? So far I've only got stuff like "Necromancer storytime" or something (Yeah, it's shit).

>>21951754
>>21951754
There's a fa/tg/uy designed system and setting around somewhere, where he decided Necromancers were no more or less evil than anyone else, but defined by their actions.
He also made them fun-loving hedonists and artists who have accepted their mortality but plan to have a good time while they live.
The magic system was pretty cool, no set spell list - it was all about your personal power level and the thematics of the magic you used. They were cool with reanimating bodies, but messing with ghosts was taboo.

>>21951943
True Nuetral Necromancer Storytime

Okay, I've archived it. Vote it up if you think it deserves it!

Also: Still waiting for suggestions about the next story. I'll go with the 1st one as it's before the 2nd one.

>>21951637
Yet another joins the fold.

Okay guys. It's 2 AM here in Poland. I'm going to sleep.

I really hope you enjoyed the thread. Keep posting votes for the next story. I'll be back tommorow to either start a new thread or continue it in this one (if it stays up)

Thank you /tg/ and good night!

>>21951637
Welcome to TG :D

Oh fuck. I forgot.

Since I'm a bit of a drawfag - would you like me to draw some of the characters from my stories?

Okay, NOW I can go to sleep.

>>21951997
i wouldnt play with this group if it was the only one in town, fuck those weird ass adventures
>corpse wedding
>baby skeletons
>dogs with human heads
fuck that shit

>>21952588
I'll admit, this isn't exactly my style... But meh, my group did some pretty strange stuff when we first got into the hobby.

Different strokes for different folks, and all that.

>>21952722
I'm all for doing weird stuff it ends up being pretty cool, but this stuff is just kinda..Grimderp, i guess, would be the /tg/ appropriate word

>>21951099

You may enjoy this. It's a very nice look at the role of Necromancy in DnD.

>>21952743
Really? It seems sort of darkly mythological rather than grimderp, in that it uses darker themes to achieve a specific end, rather than just adding more skulls for the sake of skulls. And it's not really grimdark, in that there are heroes and villains, and though the heroes may be a bit grimy their ends and goals aren't.

>>21952222
Every time I see an emoticon, but particularly :D or XD, I feel the enormous need to call the typist responsible a faggot and suggest that they fuck off and die. I say this as kindly as I can, knowing that you intend no malice, but the point remains valid. Please, sir, desist from using emoticons, or, failing that, fuck off and die.

Welcome to /tg/.

>>21950750
Stealing this. Nice one.

>>21950414
OP... you have made me laugh heartily. I am both disturbed by the lack of limits your DM has, and amazed with the ingenious ways you use your skills.
Not to mention, NG is my favorite alignment, and what you did with the "wedding" was amazing.
Well played sir, well played.

>>21951754
>Also I love necromancers, and hate that they're always shown as evil bastards. You probably guessed that by now.

Same man. Necromancers are awesome. They get a bad rap all the time from people who have a morality-stick up their ass.

>>21954491
Johannes Cabal might be up your alley, while he does many despicable and evil acts he's pretty much not evil he does because he has to not because he wants to, he has also been statted by his creator for dnd replete with sword cane and massive revolver a Webley .577, "a weapon of egregious aspect."
All three books and the various short stories are great the gentle piss take of lovecraft that is the third book is Outer-Godly it's that good.
And the short story featuring the british nobleman who's depressed because very other member of his gentle-men's social club is a British spy is hilarious.

>>21952429
yes please

Oh man, I just woke up and the thread is still alive? Amazing!

I'll get to writing/drawing in an hour guys, okay? In the meanwhile you're free to vote or tell me what I should draw first.

>>21960342
I vote for elves.

Alright, I've started writing down the story. But first - art time.

So here's my necromancer - Colubrinus ('snake-like' from latin).

His backstory isn't much to speak of - He got taken as an apprentice by a traveling mage. When they got involved in a war between some two small kingdoms, he witnessed the horrors of what sentient creatures like humans or elves can do to each other. The treatment of dead bodies did a number on him, so he fled to study necromancy.

I always made a point that he looked creepy - tall, pale, gray eyes, bald. I even tried to make him look snake-like (to go with his name) but I don't know if it came out well. His cloak may look a bit modern, but I've really liked it's design.

Any critique is welcome. I'm a pretty shitty drawfag

Marriage isn't legit without the first sex. Has to be Consummated. You can effectively undo a wedding if your wife refuses to fuck on the honeymoon.

>>21961737

Since there was some discussion about it: No they didn't bone (pardon the pun). The girl fell asleep soon after, and I broke the spells. Me and the Rogue carried her to the guards and told her she wandered out at night or something.

>>21961713

i like it

Bump. And I vote elves

Hey OP is the story done yet?

Aaaaaaand there you have it. It's not as interesting as the other quests, but I like it because we officially became a team back then. A team dedicated to uncover the truth.

Now, I'll get back to driving and writing. Post your opinions and critique!

>>21962867
> We all cheer

What is wrong with you

>>21950454
Actually, no. But a lot of dumbasses think it does. They mistake "cliched" for "boring".

>>21950875
I know your feel bro, I have the exact same problem with the group I have been playing with for a few years. They all fate DMing and make me do it most of the time, because they admit themselves to be unimaginative. And they have other flaws too. One NEVER gets attached to his chars and just lets them dies if he gets bored so he can make a new one. Another only ever makes one of 2 different characters (of essentially 3 different classes mind) so he's always the same guy. Another cannot simply make a fantasy character that fits our setting, as anime has influenced him too much. And the last one is the only guy who roleplays, but he always, without fail, winds up doing something stupid that either results in his death OR the death of everyone else in the party except him. Oh and the anime guy, I mean his last character was a gunslinger/wizard who had his head wrapped in bandages so that only one eye and tufts of black hair were visible, and he wore a suit for clothing. Like, a modern day suit, complete with tie. OUR FUCKING CAMPAIGN WAS SET IN TYPICAL GREWHAWK/D&D BASE WORLD! That was out of place and dumb as hell.

>>21962932
That said, however, many mary sues are cliched themselves, given that they often tend to be based on whatever work their maker likes at the time, and are usually boring in their unoriginality. So, that interpritation is not wholely unreasonable.

>>21962887
Your group is good fun. Carry on good sir.

>>21963080
Hate*

I wish I knew people to try DnD with.. All my mates are sports fanatics that want me to go clubbing every weekend. All I want to do is play video games and /tg/ related stuff, but I have to keep all that hidden from them.. Never got to play MtG except against the PC AI despite wanting to play it since I was young, never got to play Warhammer/40k because none of my childhood mates would even think about playing it and then I come here and hear all the awesome DnD tales and think about all the things I've missed.

>>21963271
Dude. Play DnD online, and some people are good about playing MtG on Cockatrice. Yeah, it gets a LOT of Flack, but occasionally you meet a cool guy that's serious about having fun.

Isn't DDO just an MMO?

Haha...I know it's kinda stupid. But I've been playing a lot of Neverwinter Nights at that time, and I really liked the Pale Master class...So I kind of tried to shoehorn the thing in.

Something about bosses with stages gets me

>>21963481
I'm talking more along the lines of a Skype game. They seem pretty popular.

Aaaah, sorry /tg/. I don't think I'll be able to update today. I've got a lot of work to do right now, and it can't wait. I'll try to post the second story tommorow. Thank you for your support!
