Funniest Interaction With GM Perfectly Displays What Playing Dungeons & Dragons Is Actually Like

If you have never played Dungeons and Dragons, then you're missing out. The role playing game not only takes you you on a mystical adventure, through other realms and impossible scenarios, but is also the perfect game to make friendships stronger. How so? Because the levels of frustrations you will reach in this game, wether you're a player or a GM (or DM) are exponentially hilarious. 

TikToker and certified D&D nerd @blepardvo often posts about his mischief playing the game. He reenacts how he is as GM and shows off his cool D&D merch. Recently, however, he's gone viral for a beautifully candid moment captured by one of his players as he was GMing. He was explain “create/destroy water.”

This might just be gibberish to anyone who has never even glanced at D&D, but in older rulebooks of D&D it is explains that containers are objects and creatures do not count as objects, thus you cannot use “create or destroy water" on creatures. To put it in layman's terms, players with the ability to cast can use a “create” or “destroy” cast that can fill a container, so if you cast “create water” on a container, it can fill with water. However, it is limited to containers—you cannot “create water” into a creature's belly so they are hydrated. This is what his player we're not understanding. 

The frustration that builds in this GM gets more and more hilarious—especially as you hear his players in the background sheepishly try to counter what he's saying. 

“FOR THE LAST TIME!!!”

“Okay, I'm going to explain this one more time. *points to cup* THIS is a container. This is a cup. K? If you were to cast ‘create/destroy water’ you would either fill this or empty this of water. Are we clear? Say yes if we're clear?? *slams cup down* I AM NOT A CONTAINER! YOU CANNOT CREATE/DESTROY WATER IN A HUMAN BODY… [player attempts to counter his reasoning] NO, NO BUTS! [other player: ‘is the straw a container?’] NO!! I'M GONNA TAKE AWAY ALL OF YOUR LEVELS, I SWEAR TO GOD. [Another player: ‘So, about the stray… is it one hole all the way through or two holes at each end?’…] Alright, listen! [other player: ‘that was the last straw…’] I'M DONE. I'M DONE. *walks away*”

Now, the frustration is absolutely real, but it's the kind of frustration that is more fun than frustrating, you know? It's the kind you can only have with a group of your close friends. Where your frustration is building and building but you're also laughing more and more and falling harder into a laughing fit. It's a beautiful part that happens with D&D and is one of the reasons a good group of friends love to play it with each other.
