Conversations with the 8yo DM:

8yo DM: OK, make your final death saving throw. This is it.

Me: There is a good chance my character could die here.

8yo DM: If he dies, he dies.

I had never even heard of it until this video.

It never goes away. I find glitter in our house from decades ago and our house is only six years old.

Glitter is forever.

Glitter is our mortal enemy.

That is really cool.

Exactly.

Trueโ€ฆ but every DnD character I have ever seen that has an eye patch also has a nasty scar that makes them look cool.

Conversations with the 8yo DM:

8yo DM: You know, I have never heard of anyone complaining that a character with an eye patch could have just used healing magic to restore their lost eye.

Me: Good point.

8yo DM: Peg legs and pirate hooks also get ignored.

But that is how you play the long game and make your own dungeon master.

Tough decisions ahead.

I am the same way. I am completely comfortable making everything up for my own game and even improving the entire thing but I have no abilities to run a prewritten game.

Hopefully it didnโ€™t cause any major problems.

I donโ€™t have any exes as I married my first girlfriend and I have never had to experience anything like that.

Conversations with the 8yo DM:

8yo DM: Your wizard is facing a new sea monster called The Dead and Bloated.

Me: Sounds like someone has been listening to STP.

8yo DM: No on here is โ€œsmelling like a roseโ€โ€ฆ these guys stink like rotting swamp gas.

Yes!! Great picture! Homeschool kids make the best GMs.

I imagine he is already casting the charm spell on everyone.

03.10.2025 13:15 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

He has a rogue with 8 HP and had once played an AD&D Magic User that had 3 HP and only the sleep spell. He didnโ€™t enjoy the Magic User because he got bored.

Oh wow! Congratulations! Beautiful baby.

Thanks for the recommendation and kind words. As someone who is visually impaired myself, I try hard to make my posts accessible, but I do on occasion slip up.

That is a good point.

I always try to include some decent alt text.

Two story floor plan of the Bubbling Cauldron. First floor has tables, a fireplace, a bar, and a kitchen. Second floor has a gathering room, bedrooms and a common sleeping room.

This is my favorite inn to drop into a game when the players are looking for a place to sleep for the night. It has plenty of seating and a large bar along with a gathering room on the second floor. Feel free to use this in your own games.

Haha! Dazed opponent gives Lurtz advantage and sneak attack damage.

Turns out, Lurtz was a min-maxed Ranger with all sorts of epic feats and a handful of Rogue levels to give him sneak attack damage with his poisoned arrows.

Seriously! Who doesnโ€™t want to play as a dragon? Council of Wyrms is a great setting.

Fantastic drawing and what a perfect way to create a Monster Manual. This would be so useful to DMs everywhere.

Ooooh.. I like that idea.

I havenโ€™t read the book in a few years so I couldnโ€™t remember. The wyrmling is only half way through Fellowship.
