YouTuber Hosts Battle Royale Between 4 Wizards from 4 Different TTRPG Systems—and Boy Does It End Almost Immediately, Despite the DM's Best Efforts
A Battle Royale Like No Other
In a recent video, a YouTuber hosted a battle royale between four wizards from four different Tabletop Role-Playing Game (TTRPG) systems. The game, which was streamed live, saw the wizards from different systems clash in a battle of magic and wits.
The game featured wizards from the popular TTRPG systems of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), Pathfinder, Shadowrun, and World of Darkness. The YouTuber, who is also a DM, attempted to create a balanced game by giving each wizard unique abilities and starting equipment.
However, the game did not go as planned. The D&D wizard, who was the first to take the stage, walked out of cover and cast a Magic Missile at a goblin. Unfortunately, the goblin was not the only target, and the D&D wizard was disintegrated by a spell cast by one of the other wizards.
The game continued in a similar vein, with the wizards from different systems struggling to adapt to each other's abilities. Despite the DM's best efforts to create a balanced game, the battle royale ended almost immediately.
The Aftermath
The game was streamed live on the YouTuber's channel, and the video has since been viewed by thousands of people. The reaction to the game has been mixed, with some viewers praising the creativity of the game and others criticizing the imbalance of the game.
The YouTuber has since apologized for the game's poor balance and has promised to create a more balanced game in the future.
