Was once running a long-term 5e campaign where I eventually gave the barbarian proficiency in improvised weapons after opting to attack enemy combatants with, in order, their commander (after being set on fire), a door, and the party's druid who shape changed from a snake to a bear mid-flight.

I'm presently running a 5e campaign that has a group of first-timers starting off as level 0 teenagers in-game. In lieu of getting them into a precarious fight to explain combat mechanics, I had them play Hide & Seek instead. Loved by all, and zero risk to the characters.

I'm far lighter news, my D&D party of child characters decided to cajol some sailors into a dice game to make some quick cash. I don't know any quick dice games, so I had the player roll 4d6 - two 2s and two 4s. I had them roll again, and if they rolled another 2 or 4, they won. Players loved it.

Where else but Florida would one see a "FNTYMOM" license plate these days? 🙄

But... Someone has to be worse than the Leafs!

Hot take:
"Are you a friend of John [Oliver]?" needs to be the new het-liberal equivalent of, "Are you a friend of Dorothy [Gale]?"

#dnd5e #40yearsaDM Although I have most of the beats for the first "season" of my newest D&D campaign assembled, I could use some additional brain power to help flesh out some of the twists and hooks to make the story richer and deeper. Please, hit me up!

Had a short discourse on one of The Other Sites today regarding the ages of Musk's atroci-minions.
Anyone else feeling like there isn't enough noise being made about the correlations between Musk/Hiemler and DOGE/Hitler Youth?

Yes. 😁

I just suffered through 40min of this sludge last night in the constant hope it would get better.

Spoiler alert: it did not.

But at least they were able to turn the hair salon into a discount Tyler Perry tent revival. Truly an emotional moment.🙄

*Marble League 2024*

Not the best showings by my Crazy Cat's Eyes (#6 oa) or my beloved Team Galactic (#14 oa) this year, but a solid nail-biter all the way through! Congrats to all the teams!!

(except the Hazers -- you suck)

Lucky neighbors. And I'm *definitely* speaking of the cookies here. 😉

Who was obviously photographed precisely when the cattle prod was put in just the wrong spot.

Guide to Turkey Day 101:
Read labels. Baking powder and corn starch look identical to the naked eye.

Personal take, I think fans should continue to "keep taking it back." Don't spent a dime on legit merch, but creative commons and copyright infringe to their hearts' content!!

Here's a new one... I've never been bothered by the concept of bagged milk, but WHY HAVE I NEVER CONCEIVED OF THE WHOLE BAG BEING PUT IN A PITCHER?!?!?

To kick things off here on a good note, after an ELEVEN YEAR struggle to get medical coverage for my apnea, I went from 58.4 events per hour to FIVE POINT SIX last night!!
Just feeling a little shouty about that. 😁

As the solitary cis/het/yt male regularly showing up to Women in Audio meetings at Berklee before I graduated (cough 30 years ago cough), HELLS YES!!
