If DND was realistic then literally all adventurers get hunted down (by professional adventurer hunter soldiers) and hung at the execution block for being outlaw bandits.Nobody likes vigilantes in all of history (OUTLAWS!) and adventurers are basically just bandits because they make a living by killing people and looting bodies...DNDs where adventurers are hated by everyone and hunted down like witchers are extremely based.The Adventures Guild in the village? Arrested and draft conscripted into the baron's Penal Battalions!
>>97822194So did you run a game like this?Any details of how it went for you?Because that sounds like it wouldn't be fun.
>>97822194>Game of pretend>RealisticModern D&D is shit for many, many, MANY reasons, but this isn't one of them. Go take your realism-faggotry back to simulation video-games.

>Local Lord posting in 2026
>>97822194>professional adventurer hunter soldiersThe solution to people who make a living by killing people is a bunch of guys who make a living by killing people?
>>97822194Indeed, there never were Vikings nor any other raiders or explorers, nor mercenaries, nor anything else of the sort. I might play in a campaign about professional adventurer hunter soldiers. Realistically, there'd not be frequent enough need for such a profession for any local lord to maintain them full-time. Realistically, then, we'd be traveling freelancers, roaming the land, looking for quests, I mean jobs, getting into hijinks. We'd definitely not be adventurers, though!
>>97822216>bunch of guys who make a living by killing people?yes, but State Sanctioned TM. That's the whole difference, the loicence
>>97822216Thats how the death sentence works. Just as stupid
>>97822194Literally mercs you dumb piece of shit
>>97822194>If DND was realistic then literally all adventurers get hunted down (by professional adventurer hunter soldiers)Yeah?Maybe the professional adventurer hunter soldiers could travel around the realm in search of adventurers? Maybe, for safety, they could band together in small groups, or parties, if you will? Maybe they could sustain themselves off of the bounties posted on adventurers by local lords and magistrates? And maybe they would get to keep whatever they can take from killed adventurers, as well, considering that they're taking it from outlaws? And maybe the populace would celebrate them for protecting them from the dangers that lurk in the wilderness outside the towns and villages?
>>97822216>>97822224>>97822237You swear fealty to the baron and work in teams of 10,000 each to arrest adventurers. And you fight literal adventurers.
>>97822262Damn, the baron can rustle up a standing army of 10,000 professional soldiers for the sole purpose of dealing with the rampant problem of hordes and hordes of adventurers roaming the barony? Now that's realism
>>97822194"Psssh... I thought you self-proclaimed "warriors" honored the Gaijin variant of bushido and were men of honor, but to threaten adventurer m'ladies? Unforgivable...>I draw my katanaLeave now, this is my final warning!>I rapidly deflect your countless of polearm strikes with my swift and precise katana blowsSo you have chosen...death!>My battle theme starts playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wfsBqJ4vdo&;>I dash forward, bisecting countless men-at-arms after men-at-arms at the speed of light while the poor fools try to surround me. I jump upwards and spin around my axis rapidlyNINPO: THOUSAND STEEL SAKURA PETALS!>I remain suspended in the air and slash around wildly, sending out shockwaves of energy that eviscerate most of the remaining men-at-arms. The rest flee in fear and panic except for one. I land on my feet in front of himHmm! At least one of you has the guts to stand and fight like a man. I guess you're their leader. Well then... local lord-dono, let us settle this like men of honor!>He lunges at me with his crude, brutish European sword, I dodge every thrustHeh, that uncivilized weapon of yours is telegraphing your every move! There is no grace to your moves, no flow...>I spin around and strike the blade of his sword with my katana, the inferior blade shatters directly after impactSurprised, lord-dono? This is no ordinary blade, it is the katana: the sharpest and most durable blade known to man!>The local lord stumbles back, I slowly walk towards him in a slow and menacing manner with my katana lifted above my headUnlike us Gaijin, the great Samurai of the East have honor. They know that each m'lady is a queen, a gentle sakura that is not to be touched>I decapitate him with a single blow as faster than the mortal eye can see, wave my sword around once to shake all the blood off my weapon and then sheathe my katanaYou're a disgusting human being, I won't even tip my fedora at you>I walk away silently unopposed

>M'lud... I petition you to rid us humble peasants of this scourge of the land, for it hath slain all the giant rats in my basement, as I paid them to do
>>97822194And I’m sure the Baron can take care of all those orcs and zombies and demons and trolls and gnolls and all the other monsters infesting his realms.In fact, he could probably fight the evil demon lord commanding all those monsters that lives over a continent away and take all the time in the world to travel there with his own band of merry soldiers, gathering all kinds of important treasures and shit necessary to do so. And no doubt that as a baron, he’ll respect every single law of the various fiefs that he travels through, including handing over all the treasure he recovers in those lands as well as paying tribute to said lord for the privilege of travel and always always always disarming and turning over their weaponry and armor upon entering every domain so as not to be mistaken for those dreaded adventurers.You say that sounds unfair to the baron just trying to do his job? Such insolence! To the gallows with you!Side note, as silly as local lord posting is, I will never understand the kind of people who sincerely believe this shit or try to run games with such never ending hostile npcs like this. Like, what do they get out of it?

>>97822194The sad thing about this is that /tg/ will fall for such weak-ass bait.
>>97822390It’s really not for the basic fact that in a world with that level of unending threats to the peasantry, those local lords wouldn’t have the time to enforce such comically draconian interpretations of medieval law. They’d have their hands full trying to keep the giant vermin from eating the villagers alive and burning every single body to keep them turning undead, nevermind border patrol or tax collecting.
>>97822366Robin Hood...
outlaws were fucking everywhere up until modern timesthe government didn't give a shit unless you killed someone important
>>97822194>players can't do anything and then they dieSounds like a shitty game.
>>97822194outsourcing is the number 1 most beloved past time of every authority figure though
>>97822412Not true, they also cared if they stole something very important.
>>97822194I'm amazed it wasn't posted yet
>>97822407Greatly exaggerated He didn't steal from the rich, he took back the finances unfairly taxed
>>97822194bait or advanced retardation?

>>97822194>Local Lord having another one of his senile rants from the oubliette John HumanFighter and co. put him in last week after they put his unicorn-taming teenage niece of a pure heart in charge of the castle and it's properties
>>97822194>If DND was realistic then literally all adventurers get hunted down (by professional adventurer hunter soldiers)Yes, that is how many D&D games are, but you have it the wrong way around. The 'professional adventurer hunter soldiers' are the player characters, with your bandits, raiders and murderhobos being the adventurers that the PCs go on quests to defeat. If your view on who is who is so fucked up, I suggest you stop playing with such edgelords.

>>97822208>Because that sounds like it wouldn't be fun.It could be fun if you dial it up to 11 - setting is a polite well armed society as OP proposed, players are bunch of miscreants that were chose by deity for some great purpose of cosmic importance. The divine blessing comes with powerful regeneration or "respawning" after death. Players can try to keep low profile and avoid confrontation or actively fight back against the law that hunts them while working on the grand task they were chosen for.The questions is whether you wanna make it "serious" and edgy or more of a dark comedy ala fantasy Paranoia. >>97822471What about judge Charles Lynch? Well documented, quite popular in his community despite (or because of) prolific vigilante activity.
>>97822390>This but unironicallyThis, but also with the understanding tgat the logical conclusion of this is that PCs are the baron and his companions.
>>97822337Amazing, he just bisected OP where he stood.
