I see your new character and up you the entire campaign!

Friend asked if I could run a game with their friend who'd never played TTRPGs but didn't want to play with a bunch of strangers. So I came up with a campaign but then they would never commit to a time to play. So it just sat there for years

a man says hi bob bob in front of a painting ALT: a man says hi bob bob in front of a painting

Excuse me. An NPC? Every NPC is named Bob

It makes it much easier to remember someone's name
Guards: Bob
Innkeep: Bob
The King: Bob
The Queen: Bob
Their 9 children: Bob

The shot did 1 MDC more than his shield could take which ended up splatting him

Although with the other players reaction, I should have just let the tank kill her. Her response to him dying "Ha that was stupid of you to get in that fight:

I did it to save you

That was stupid of you

Yes it was

Robotech game. Sgt Bob. He went out fighting a tank on foot in order to save one of his squadmates

Managed to destroy almost all of its anti personnel guns which gave his squadmate a chance to make a break for it. But the last gun got a shot off. He managed to block it with his shield but

I usually go by, If its a focused beam of light, its a Dex save, because its something that be avoided

If its just a big explosion of light, then its a Con save because there's no dodging it, you just have to endure it

I love using identical variant maps like this on a VTT. As things happen during the encounter causes the battlefield to change

Like this, I'd start with the blood in the water. As the fight continues it moves to all red, then the enemies do something and things go purple. Just what did they do?

I too will jump on the bandwagon. For every like I will speak a hot #TTRPG take aloud to myself

We'll see how that goes. It might get spicey

Every question posed to her from now till the end of time should end with "... and what about the Epstein files?"

Bring the parasol back into fashion!

Oddly using an umbrella for sun protection still happens a bunch in Asia. I know a bunch of my cousins in the Philippines do that all the time

Would you rather be a

-Mancer
or
-Turgist

I think the answer there is obvious

He was set up?
What, did they intentionally set up the meeting during his known "Private fun time"?

This stuff is all wrapped up with the repubs attacking LGBTQ+ Its not two separate groups

Trying to split people because "they're not protesting the group I want" is silly and missing the big picture. The ones trying to overturn protections and the ones attacking people directly are the SAME PEOPLE

I think every GM has at one point or another created a city like this. I know I have more than once
Although one thing I did was the 'spokes' of the wheel for the streets I made it so each circle was rotated slightly so there was no straight road leading from the outer gate to the fort in the center

With the exception of Final Fantasy this pretty much mirrors my list. With FF didn't completely bounce off of it, more occasionally bump against it

Some of the others like Witcher or AC its "I could look into it. Eh maybe later"

But like CoD, Minecraft, Fortnite, I just have zero interest in

Oddly they're only semi connected and by name only. Two brothers started the company, decided they didn't like each other so they went their separate ways and each started their own chain, one in Europe the other in the US

A wooden stick that sorta looks like a sword. well its a long straight stick, so that's close enough to sword

I like the stick warlock because any kid who found a stick like this would immediately be swinging it around like a sword!
Plus I find it amusing the idea that he just carries a stick but it actually cuts and is as durable as a real sword

had an innkeeper charge the group 20gp per room for a night due to city being flooded with war refugees. One player went "Can I roll insight or something to see if he's ripping us off"
me; Oh, no roll needed. He is ABSOLUTELY ripping you off

wanted to go on grand adventures with him. And of course he agreed. Everyone thought he was just playing pretend, but he kept doing it as he grew older... and then magic started happening. And he still talks to his "imaginary" friend all the time

So now he's a cleric of some god of redemption but he knows absolutely nothing about that religion and trying to fight against his criminal instincts

Then a halfling hexblade warlock, that his blade is just this really cool stick he found as a kid and when he picked it up a voice asked him if

Having one of those days being reminded of a couple #TTRPG characters I want to play for a lonh time, just need a game to play them in

A cleric who was a criminal that when on death row prayed "If anyone's listening if you get me outta this I'll forever grateful" and then a god takes him up on it

I did NOT know one could do this... but will probably do that from now on during teams meetings at work and see who notices

Also Duffy (Probably): Buttigieg should have anticipated all the budget cuts and firings we'd do to people in key positions like air traffic controllers and planned accordingly for when we took over and shat ourselves

From there adapted all the villain groups into the game. Some became big plot points, others just random one off encounters

Also just inserted a few of the quest lines in there. One player did notice these things. The 2nd group none of them played CoH so haven't caught on

Vanessa DeVore from City of Heroes. Red headed woman in a white mask, white corset and white thigh high leather boots with a sash around her waist

Was trying to figure out things with my evil baddie for my "Save the Dragon from the Evil Princess" idea and figuring out a hook and decided she seems kinda like vanessa DeVore from the Carnival of Shadows. So I used the masks linking all of them together and went from there

Supa Troll from City Of Heroes MMO. Large muscled glowing green man with small horns on his head

Not a fantasy game, but so many of my plots and villains have been taken directly from City Of Heroes😁

It started with me working out a floating city in the setting and thought "Hey this is kidna like Skyway City. Now how I can put in SupaTrolls into D&D" And it spiraled from there
