I Promise.

Smooth Talker

yourplayersaidwhat:

Last week, I was DMing a one-off campaign for a few friends. Two have played before and the third has never played a live role-playing game before, so he was a bit uncomfortable. He decided to be a bard (named Shilo Buff).

I started them off in a stereotypical tavern for everyone to get their bearings and put the ball in the bard’s court, letting him do whatever he wanted.

Bard OOC: I walk up to the bar and lean on it next to a lady standing there and I say…

Bard: Hey, baby, you ever heard a song before?

The Lady (Me): Ummm…yes?

Bard: You wanna hear another?

Bard OOC: And I play this on my bagpipes…

He pulls out his phone and a bagpipes cover of Careless Whisper starts to play.

Me, the DM, through my laughter (everyone else is cracking up as well): Roll a performance check.

…he rolls a 20.

The entire bar is enraptured by his performance and they fill a cup in front of him with gold. The lady hangs on him the rest of the evening.

And that’s still only the second best pick-up line I’ve experienced in a Dungeons & Dragons tavern.
