I'm rolling up a fairy artificer and I just found out there's no overlap between the spells you get from the fairy race and the fey-touched feat. So we're going with a fey-touchef fairy... ...touched by whom, exactly? 🫢 #dnd

Years ago I ran a joke encounter against a Cloud Giant Monster Trainer. As a reward I gave my players what amounted to a pokéball. BIG MISTAKE. They used it to capture a young black dragon. They later threw it into the Wolf God's mouth. BECAUSE IT'S IMMUNE TO ACID DAMAGE. I love #dnd

Warlocks be like: "Don't talk to me until I've recovered my spell slots." ☕️✨️ #DnD

Do you think the Bahamas were named after Bahamut? Makes you think. #DnD

#dnd #gmtip Attacks failing to connect do not have to be attributed to incompetence. An exchange of blows where every strike is parried can be interpreted as a showcase of mastery instead! You can use your narration to make high AC characters feel awesome, rather than to make NPC's look foolish.

Previous session my pirate players found an ice giant and liberated her from an iceberg. Turns out she's lost her memory and doesn't know how she ended up here. Upcoming session the pirates will run afoul a giant snowglobe bobbing on the waves like a massive buoy. Could there be a connection? #DnD

You know that feeling when you're blocked on what you want to do next session but then a single idea unclogs your imagination and suddenly a whole geyser of ideas flow out and suddenly you have a session? That's my favorite feeling ever.

When shawarma gets cold what's it called?

My next session will involve a fight in an abandoned stone quarry. I really want to make a 3D-map of this area; I think an inverted pyramid shape will make for dynamic and fun terrain. I'm no good at crafts though. How do I make this? What material do I use? #DnD

#dnd #dmtip Amagrams are a great way of creating fantasy names. For example, did you know 'Zadrigel' is an anagram for Greedy Lizard? My players don't but they sure are familiar with the draconic tyrant of that name.

#DnD #DMtip Short rests don't need to be a full hour if it doesn't fit the narrative. A short rest can be any brief respite from danger- a sandwich, a smoke break, a moment to catch your breath. Don't deny your players this viable resource on account of The Story.

#DnD Idea: The workers of the quarry delved too deep and unearthed a decidedly draconic-looking skeleton. They have proudly put it on display for all to see, and the inevitable dark-mantled figure is already on their way, carrying what might very well be some kind of phylactery...

#DnD Idea: The books you need were burned by the Church long ago. It's not a librarian you need; it's an exorcist! But beware, books like being forgotten as little as people do, and their spirits have grown spiteful; they will not yield their knowledge easily.

Deze zondag is een babbelbaan in ons zwembad wegbezuinigd ten faveure van een nieuwe borstcrawlbaan. Dit zegt iets over onze maatschappij.

Qua bestek heb ik geen sterke vork keur.

I finally managed to have a bad guy get away! 🥳 Granted, they had to be standing right next to the escape portal at the start of initiative, but still. Cerebro 🧠, the douchey "Big Brain" psionic has taken his prize to his lair. The game is afoot! #DnD

One thing I do admire about Smurf culture is how each one has an equal and unique role in their society where some of them are actual jobs like Housebuilder Smurf, but then there’s a guy just called Jerk Smurf whose job it is to be a jerk and that makes me feel like I have value as well

BAD GUY: [laughs evilly] all according to the prophecies of...Derek..? PLAYERS: [gasp] GM: (uhoh) PLAYERS: Der'eck? BAD GUY: Y-yes! That's right. PLAYERS: The barkeeper? BAD GUY: The very same! PLAYERS: That bastard! I told him all of our secrets! BAD GUY: Fooooools! #DnD

#Gmtip The villain that gets away gets to scheme another day.

What if I call my wizard Cerebro? As in, they are cerebral, but a bro about it? Cerebro? No? OK.

I've asked two out of three players to roll NPC's during an adventure to accompany the third, who got separated from the group. I told them they would be single session characters. Three hours of play at most. And yet they've written BACKSTORIES. I'm going to end to with 3 players ans 5 PC'S 😆

Je kan niet vanuit de hoogte spreken als je niet op de hoogte bent.

Hello #portfolioday! My job is to help you make D&D cute and nice and to have a good, lovely, colourful time 💚💛

Imagine being so insignificant that the players decide to only deal with you in epilogue. Brutal.

Your party doesn't necessarily need a name. Lots of great ones don't. You need not force one if it feels unnatural. #DnD

Ik noemde een fietspomp net een fietsoplader. Ik ben 34, en toch verpest. Vervloekt!

I'm looking for a good combat for 3 level 3 adventures to introduce an eldritch threat. Mind Flayers are a bit much at this point. What are some good entry-level abberations? #DnD

Do you ever browse your own Bookreads and despair at the person you used to be? I wouldn't want to have a beer with the guy that exclusively read depressing Russian classics. Glad to know he turned out OK.

"Scars don't come back; they either are or they aren't." Ah, I get it- the book is about trauma. #It

Reading It. Chapter 3 introduces all the members of the Loser's Club but somehow Beverly doesn't get to be the focal character of her own introduction. Instead we're in her sleezeball husband's head. I guess this is what it means to be The Girl (tm) of the group... 😕 #IT

Glimlach is een mooi woord. Een glimmende lach. Je zíet het stralen. Fonkelende tanden tonen goede moed. Mooi.

So I went on crosstrainer for the first time in my life and now I can't fully stretch my arms. How am I supposed to play Magic like this???

I put timers on my socials. I give myself an hour each day. Now I'm reading in the train again! Haven't done that in years. My hour is up though, so I'll see you all tomorrow.

Wait why didn't make a reference to 'I am the Walrus' in #Sonic3? You had two Jim Carreys! "I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus" was right there! Do better. (I loved the movie please don't hurt me jim)

I went to the gym for the first time yesterday. It was like going to the sauna: disenchanting, in a good way. I was expecting Atlassian demigods benchpressing globes, but I was instead surrounded by a diversity of bodies, each undergoing their own journey. It made me feel welcome to start my own.
