'''THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE''' ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are ''not'' official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).
[[Dragons]] live a long time, but they are still mortal, and one day they will die. For some dragons, this is an unacceptable state of affairs - and so they use dark rituals and unholy pacts to consume themselves, bind their souls to precious gemstones, and take on many of the properties of a [[lich]].


Due to their innately evil nature, dracoliches tend to be of chromatic dragon stock, and look mostly like they did in life - just, y'know, more skeletal and/or mold-covered. Dracoliches retain all of their living abilities (like breath weapons, flight, frightful presence, and so on), but gain all of the usual undead immunities and vulnerabilities (poison, charm, paralysis, etc.). Most DMs will also throw in the ability to control undead too; they are a lich after all, and what self respecting undead dragon lord doesn't want an entourage of dragon-guard wights?
They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.


One important difference between a dracolich and a regular lich is that a dragon's body is too magically potent to just regenerate around a phylactery. A dracolich's undying soul needs a suitable corpse to possess if its physical form is destroyed, and so they must locate their phylactery near a source of dead dragons. This could be either an existing dragon graveyard, or they could be hunting their peers to build a kind of dragon body farm. Either way, there's your sweet campaign hook. Remember, Gentle Repose works on dragons.

Most important in the [[Forgotten Realms]]; the Cult of the Dragon, a crazy cult headed by an uber-crazy [[lich]] named Sammaster, goes around creating dracoliches because they want to fulfil a prophecy in which dracoliches will conquer the world. Why? Um... mostly because Sammaster wants to prove that he translated the prophecy right and everybody else, who says it actually reads as a prophecy about dragons taking over the world after a great apocalypse, is wrong. The absolute stupidity of this whole scheme ''has'' been nodded to by various authors over the years.

The closest thing to an example of one known to /tg/ is the Dragon Zombie of the [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]]; if a Dragon fails to find a husband before she dies, the dark energies permeating the world will reanimate her as a Dragon Zombie, a corpse-colored (blue-gray skin, dark mold-green wings, white hair) dragon with bony scales. In this state, her mind has degenerated, leaving her a horny bimbo obsessed with finding a man and taking him for her mate. These dragon-girls are quite dangerous, because they possess a "rotten breath" attack that can convert human women into undead monstergirls.

THE GRAND DAD EMPIRE ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the SilvaGunner YouTube channel until it was terminated in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before returning to SilvaGunner in June of 2018.

CHANNELS

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.

EVENTS

The VINESAUCE MEME events that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong YTP scene. These events would involve VINESAUCE-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

In later years, an event known as GRAND FEST was hosting PREMIERES for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC 69, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.

HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES

Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD EMPIRE seem to have been most active between 2012 and 2019.

  • GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO
  • GRAND DAD 3: THE GAUNTLET OF ASS (FEATURING SMOL NOZOMI, TITO DICKMAN, SPONGE, HE THICC, and SANS UNDERTALE)
  • GRAND DAD 4: GRAND DAD IS GOD
  • GRAND DAD 5: DEATH TO 1D4CHAN
