honestly monty python and the holy grail is just a dnd session w/ really uncooperative players and a dm who worked really hard on a campaign but gave up halfway through

FINE the POLICE arrive and ARREST EVERYBODY go home.

No no no. It’s the exact opposite. All the players, the Knights of the Round Table, especially Arthur, they all want to complete their quest and are serious about it. The uncooperative ones are the NPCs, the DM controlled characters. John Clease alone berates and belittles characters who just want to pass through. Or what about the Knights who say Ni? The Black Knight? Help help I’m being oppressed guy? They’re all DM controlled.

This is actually the story of DM getting revenge on a group of players who are probably a bunch of murder hobos normally and let them have a taste of what it’s like to be in a game that’s nonsense.

“Okay. So we finally get to fight someone?”

“No. The police arrive and arrest you all. End of campaign.”
