“Rats. We’re Rats. We’re the Rats. We prey at night. We stalk at night. We’re the Rats.” 

On each plane of existence, there exists one great Rat who rules over all other rats on that plane. This Rat is known as The Giant Rat That Makes All of the Rules. There is always one of these Rats on each plane at any given time and when it dies, a new one takes its place. The Rat doesn’t posses any extraordinary or supernatural abilities besides the ability to speak Common. Despite this, all other rats follow its commands. 

This Rat is known for getting into trouble. Whenever it spots an opportunity to disrupt some plan or cause mischief, it takes it.

Me: You’ll be fighting the Butcher

My Players: We must become friends with this person

Me: the blacksmith, a literal demon, takes a montrous bite from the whole pig in his hand.

My Players: we must adopt him. He is our uncle now.

Me: The hand is mummified and gross and undead, it tries to attack you because it used to belong to a murderer.

Party rogue: It’s my pet now and I will lotion it until it loves me.

Me: You are standing on a Rug of Smothering

Party Cleric: I’m gonna tear off a piece of it and keep it as a pet.

Update: They did, in fact, make friends and now half the party wants the Butcher to become a Demi-God

This is all very good and real, but I think you’re missing the most important part, which is when half of them decide on a whim to hurl Good King Lovespuppies out the nearest window

Party sees some monster: baby, baby boy

Party sees kind and benevolent npc: i dont trust like that

A dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest, honestly. It’s the honest ones you have to watch out for, because you can never tell when they’re going to do something incredibly stupid. -Cpt Jack Sparrow

My players adopted a Goblin, an Owlbear and a Hobgoblin Vigilante, my Rogue went through the Monster Manual and made a list of things she wants to adopt. She wants a Gelatinous Cube but like, “a smol one” no Ranger I have ever DM’d for was this bad :))

A quick little something I knocked together, the patented tragic backstory generator ™ is the easiest way to give your character a mythically horrible origin. 

(actual tragedy may vary, results are final and non-negotiable, i am not responsible for any tears you may shed while imagining the sad life your character must have led up to this point)

Roll this for every single character in your campaign
