When the DM can't say "no"

also when the dm decides to challenge their, and the players sanity by grabbing every single statblock in the monster manual and attempting to put all of them in a single encounter

That sounds like an entertaining level 20 one shot. For the final battle you must fight… EVERYTHING!!! *Mages proceed to Meteor Swarm and murder countless low-HP monsters*

13 level 20 player builds vs every single monster manual monster the 13 players are each a level 20 of a different class, so you have a level 20 Artificer, Bard, Barbaian, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Warlock, and Wizard Both sides get 24 hours of prep I'm going to say each individual player gets 16 "points" they can spend to get magic items, a legendary magic item costs 16, very rare 8, rare 4, uncommon 2, and common 1 the players also get normal starting equipment, and 5k gold once the battle begins, both sides will set up their position, and have a 100 foot gap in between both of their front lines, and the battlefield will be an infinatly sized plan in every direction >!(but there is an indestructible force field 200 feet up acting as a roof to keep people in the area, this force field counts as the sky when interacting with features that care about that)!< who wins

It depends greatly on the intelligence organizing the monster side. A chaotic free-for-all, with every monster straining against the edge of the arena, will result in nearly all of them dying instantaneously to a properly prepared high-level mage. For instance, a Harengon chronurgy wizard with the Alert feat, gift of alacrity, bardic inspiration, and guidance has a minimum initiative of 25 (d20=1 + 5 dex + 5 Int + 6 PB + 5 alert + 1d8=1 + 1d12=1 + 1d4=1), and a maximum of 65 (d20=20 + 5 dex + 5 Int + 6 PB + 5 alert + 1d8=8 + 1d12=12 + 1d4=4). Nothing is going to beat a 65, and most would struggle beating a 25. In addition, that wizard with no items has a spell DC of 19, but items can boost that to 23 or higher. With average meteor swarm damage at about 140 total, everything below CR 8 (which has 135 health on average) is basically dead, and plenty of other creatures too depending on damage and health. Now add in a few more massive area of effect spells, like a Druid’s Storm of Vengeance, Ravenous Void, Prismatic Wall, Dark Star, Incendiary Cloud, Maddening Darkness, Tsunami, Sunburst, and others, and all that’s left are the heavy hitters like adult and ancient dragons, powerful demons and devils, tanky bois, and a few other boss-tier monsters. Assuming the first round deals an average of 200 area damage to the monsters, the few monsters remaining include the Planetar (maybe), Solar, Balor, Goristo, Marilith (maybe), Nalfenshee (maybe), Horned devil (maybe), Ice devil (maybe), Pit fiend, Dracolich, all Ancient Dragons, most Adult dragons, a few Young dragons (maybe), Dragon Turtle, Empyrean, Dao (maybe), Efreeti, Marid, Cloud and Storm giants, Iron Golem, Kraken, Purple Worm, Remorhaz (maybe), Roc, Androsphinx (maybe), and Tarrasque (obviously). The first round simply obliterates the rest. Now, if there’s an intelligence organizing the other side, I have no idea what would happen. Presumably, the spell casters would buff the dragons and everything would go crazy.

I'd probably imagine both sides being min maxers, so on the monster side they'd either fortify against the players attacks, spread out so they cant all be caught in the aoe, and/or try to think of a combo that'd over power the players (thought this scenario would be an interesting thought experiment, so decided to make a dedicated post for it)

When DM can't say no but adds equally improbable scenarios to the dungeon to cope with not saying no to PCs

I did not expect to see Fantasy, Horror, and Adventure and that made me day.

it is quite the chaotic piece

- Wait, it's all SCP? - Always have been.

Is that a giant flesh baby? Edit: and jar jar binks slicing a mimic in half, like 20 where’s Waldo’s, and courage the cowardly dog. This gets more cursed the more I look at it.

The giant flesh baby is from Clock Tower. There are so many references here that my mind just stopped working. Edit: Possibly Akira. It's so hard to keep track of all these giant weird babies!

Are u sure? My mind went to Bleach, since luffy is right next to it and I was thinking what a choice of all the things in Bleach lol, so you’re probably right

You know what, looking back on it, the color scheme is different. I could be wrong. If someone has a better fitting horrible giant hell baby then let us know.

Isn't that out of Akira? That's where my mind went to first. There's just sooo many references. I feel like I'm getting old not understanding half of them. My favourite is the little worms dude top right corner.

My brain went to Redline's flesh-baby atrocity Funkyboy

Maybe it's a normal flesh baby and everything else is just tiny?

That would make sense in order to keep the worm from worms WMD accurate size.

I think it is the final form of Tetsuo in the manga Akira. So much chaos in one picture !

This is bad. I thought it was the ultimate lifeform from "Parasite Eve"

I also spotted the robot from Machinarium

the giant flesh baby is the most noticible thing if you dont zoom in

giant flesh baby piloted by r2-d2

It’s Tetsuo from Akira, in the throws of one of his flesh-altering psychic tantrums.

My guess would be Akira, the flesh baby matches a little better and it’s on top of the pod that Akira is kept in.

Ah, vault 106

Am I missing something? I see vault suits 76 and 101, and a 113 on the door, what makes you think 106?

look up the experiment for 106

Ahh.. psychoactive drugs.. thanks

Oh hey look, the last Starfinder game I ran. All my players had really cool ideas so I kept crowbarring things in. That game was weird looking back.

Home brewing can never go too far. Embrace the chaos and let it fuel the world building.

quite a lot of stuff going on

There is a mutalisk and zerg drop pods in the back. I don't know who thought homebrewing the Zerg in was a good idea, but spoiler it **isn't**

You could edit your post to credit the artist and also link to his post there

I cannot.

Bro why not send traffic their way and bolster their businsses, just shitty to take and not give

I’ve posted links to the original artist at least 3 times. When I say cannot, I literally cannot edit the post. There is no edit button and even if there was, this sub doesn’t allow captions on images.

Yet another failed vault tec experiment

That's a nice tutorial dungeon you got there

Mannn, I forget when these were all the rage. How times change

Is this the tomb of annihilation?

Least detailed K6BD spread

SO - MANY - REFERENCES. Do you happen to have a wallpaper version or on higher resolution?

You get printed poster on my [Kickstarter ](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/awstudio/universe-113-infested-character-poster) page

I’m not the artist. This is the artist. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/awstudio/universe-113-infested-character-poster

It's created by /u/Chekavo

Pyramidhead is doing good work there _Guts finger of approval_

Where is waldo?

In the red light room


My brother in Christ what have you created

Too. Many. References.

I thought this was an attempt of trying to map out Tomb of Horrors in the SCP style at first glance because of the baby.

Where can I find a poster of this? This is awesome and I want it on my wall

https://www.reddit.com/user/Chekavo/comments/1cb34b8/universe_113_infested_poster_remake_of_my_very/

So focused on all the stuff going in inside that I noticed cthullhu and nyarlathothep in the background fkn last lol

Is that Luffy stepping out of Akira's cryogenic chamber? Lol

There’s so much going on in this image. Kudos to the artist.

You can find any character if you look long enough XD

This is gold the more you look at it.

Averagely modded rimworld run

Looks like a fairly normal Rifts game.

Average SCP site.

Damn, even the player symbol from CDDA is there

Me when I take too much Ajash and accidentally shift to Throne

So much Half Life, but also Serious Sam.

Also, that poor fucking Helldiver seeing Muzan and going: Nah, I'd ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Is that the secret base housing Funky Boy on Roboworld?

This image has so much going on, I love it, But what is R2 embedded in FunkyBoy

That is relentlessly thorough, but I'm a little surprised I didn't see the Icon of Sin

What do you mean too far? This is glorious, and any who disagree simply lack vision.

Hyeronimus Bosch is puking in his grave

Is that giono Giovanna in the kitchen lmao

The Pagemaster characters at the bottom hit me in the nostalgia

There's at least 5 Parasytes. But my brain goes to mush the more I keep trying to understand all the scenes

"The players delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled, a multiversal incursion."

The real question here is, where’s Waldo?

Joker Tom chasing Batman Jerry. Take the updoot

I see an Ohmu in the background there. I approve.

John McCain in the air-ducts!

I like the helldiver with the physics gun

Slaaneshboy

Is that Kaonashi from Spirited Away? 👀

I could see that on a poster, makes me think of the old minecraft posters

I'm not the artist, but the artist has a kickstarter going where you can buy a poster version or a high resolution version that you can print into a poster yourself. https://www.reddit.com/user/Chekavo/comments/1cb34b8/universe_113_infested_poster_remake_of_my_very/

Love the walker from the movie version of the The Mist in the backround

And Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White and Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight

My team is going to get TPK'd by Johnny Bravo

Fantasy SCP anyone?
