Character called Mr. Farts that deals 1500 damage per turn by fart 3.

Those are, in fact, perfectly sensible guidelines.

My old Dm Used to occasionally run a game where everyone rolled a pc that could fit into a cartoon show, and every game was an episode of this cartoon show.

I played an anime inspired character that could turn into a robot for no reason that was ever explained, and sometimes he gained the ability to turn into different kind of robots. The character never shut up about the power of friendship, and had an ever-evolving backstory that made less and less sense as we played more one shots, including:

1. He was his own father somehow
2. he had to go go to the future to make this happen for some reason
3. he was searching for his sibling so that he could stop him from becoming my pc. His sibling was from the future and had travelled back to the past, so that he could kill my pc
4. he could telepathically communicate with plants using the power of friendship. The plants had nothing to say because they were plants
5. his father was some kind of evil god. Somehow he was still his own father. The contradiction was never explained at all
6. There was an orb in his chest that contained the source of all friendship in the universe that he could use to launch friendship based attacks for some reason

There were more details I can't recall. When I spoke it was always long rambling monologues that sounded like terrible dubbing.

“So this is my character. Her name is Armpits Esquire and she’s three halfling paladin brothers from a dead order in a trenchcoat. Because of their stacking auras, they are nearly- no, you can continue loading, it gets worse.”

So professor burp is still on the table?

That GM definitely has some stories

The second one sort of depends on the player. I've had a few players that have made absolutely ridiculous characters but played them very well and it was a good experience.

The first one is a strong no. I've never seen anyone who does a broken meta build do anything beyond ruin everyone's time and complain (or quit) if the DM reins them in at all.

But I worked so hard on writing up the flatumancer subclass!

Snake with a hundred mage hands who is actually a detective called "dick-long"?

Beyond disappointed that none of our resident fart accounts have commented in this thread. Clearly the clarion call of the wind broken by the fart golems haven't yet echoed deep enough into the halls of lemmy to reach their noses.

Dear DMs: if you take yourself too seriously, I will murder you.

Do you think the people who make Dr Farts want to play with other people who make Dr Farts type characters? And the people who make 1500 dmg/turn combat monsters, do they want to play with other combat monsters?

I feel like sometimes no. Sometimes people want to be the odd one out. Which sucks, because a group that's homogeneous on this aspect I think can work pretty well. If everyone's a combat monster the GM can go crazy. But if there's just one or two combat monsters, now they have to figure out how to keep it fun for them and also Bob The Fighter that hits for 1d8+2 each turn.

You just need access to "Suggestion" spell for easy win on so many situations the DM will start raging real soon.

That said, can I be a dragon, then?

Sadly these two rules would exclude a large percentage of the players. The main problem child player for TTRPGs seems to be finding player character build exploits and then getting mad when the DM already knew about the build and forbids it.

Those are very reasonable and wide guidelines.

If anyone wants to do a dr. Farts style campaign let me know. I would love to ref a zany to the max campaign. Be warned that dr. Farts may have to contend with the likes of Detective Vague.
