Literary DM

Oh no the DM used the traumatic backstory I wrote. Who could have foreseen this?!
Goooooood.

This week's video is going to be a fun and breezy one.
How re-flavoring class abilities can add not only variety to your character, but potentially help you understand them more for RP.

How it feels to find out you joined a D&D game that uses AI.
I'm both mad and disappointed.

When another session of rolling dice and talking in funny voices with friends around a table ends, and you can't wait for the next one.

Just to give an update.
I am personally fine from the storms that blew through last night. Didn't see the worst of it.
I was nowhere near the tornadoes that touched down last night.

"No sleep for you!" - The DM probably.

One time when I was player in a Star Wars game. It was a really nice night out, so we decided just to play at a table outside.
Our host had plenty of lighting already set up, and bug repellent stuff.
It was genuinely a nice and chill evening.

Intense storms were predicted for my area. Possible Tornado.
Walked out to get the mail, and holy crap. The humidity is so high and air so heavy. You'd be surprised if something wasn't rolling in.

The rules are at their best when they're like the pirate code, more like guidelines.

Thank you all for joining me on this wild adventure, and being inspirations in your own right.
Keep being awesome everyone. Cheers!

Here's to five years!
March 9, 2021 is when I made my channel, and started this incredible journey of sharing my love of this hobby. Be it through tips, discussions, memes and more.
As well as meeting some amazing people along the way.
It's hard to believe that much time has passed.

And here's a fun tip.
Bryce Dallas Howard directed one of the episodes of the Mandalorian. In it Mando has to do a re-entry. The way it's shot pays homage to her dad's work, Ron Howard, with Apollo 13.

That was probably my favorite movie growing up.
Re-watched it a few years ago and I'm so glad it still held up. The Saturn V launch sequence is still incredible.

Having arrived in the country of Cormyr. Our heroes find more potential allies, and continue their journey to find the sunken temple in the Vast Swamp.

Well, with GaryCon next week. I ordered a new carrier for magic cards. Let's hope it gets here in time

When playing a character for D&D. I often like to throw in small things like what is their favorite drink, foods and so on.
It's a small thing but can add a lot and is just fun

The best way to promote a game you love to another is to talk about what you love about it.

The moment an ounce of superiority is felt for playing something else is how you push people away from your favorite thing.

I was just reminded of this.
A year ago today I was in the city and recovering after my massive surgery.
Doctors are still happy that everything is looking great but it does not feel like that long ago.

Little did the party realize their companion would need the whole thing.

Daylight savings is like playing in a horror story D&D game. You wake up and the DM decided you'd have one level of exhaustion.
No saves.
No nothing.
Boom. Tired.

Part of the fun of BG3 is running with character concepts. Especially if you lack a game to play in, and just want to vibe. It's why it's so easy to just make a new character.
Such as Sasha here, a tiefling fighter/bard.

Taking a deep breath as the Barbarian rage intensifies.

Opened up my bag to get my tablet.
It wasn't there, so I had a mini heart attack.
Then I looked up to my desk, and remembered I put it there.
My brain likes to mess with me too much.

Did my usual ritual of going to a coffee shop on Saturdays to do some session prep.
Apparently the barista made my order wrong initially (ice vs hot), and caught it before calling my name. She remade it and now I have two latte's, 😂.
Seriously that was so kind. Didn't have to do it.

My oldest nieces birthday.
She wanted to play a board game, and brought out this.
Well, time to make some coffee, 😂

Huh.
Rooting for Nintendo in a lawsuit was not on my bingo card but here we are.

When the player with main character syndrome gets humbled.

Some of my favorite moments as a DM are when I just get to sit back and watch my players roleplay. Be it a serious moment or something straight out of Monty Python.
Watching a story unfold before you. Especially one that you're telling together will always be special

Oops, I made another Tiefling. My bad.

And you know in that moment, the DM was planning a sand based encounter.
