Lovebürger feels like many groups I've played D&D with over the years, where no one can agree on how to play game or what the tone of the adventure should be. Individuals all running in different directions, regardless of how hard you Session Zero things. 😂😂😂 youtube.com/watch?v=-TEhVmOMlIs

Not quite 20 feet. Still only 1d6 bludgeoning damage. bsky.app/profile/diew...

Sometimes the Dungeon Master need to be like: "Son, we play in a world that has rules, and those rules have to be adjudicated by people with dice. Who’s gonna do it? You Stud McBeefpile? You, Prevagen von Trulicity? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. 🧵1/6

Am I the only one who thought “Matthew Lillard is totally going to poop in a box…”

Bard: I CAST VICIOUS MOCKERY!

Now that I’ve seen this image Tarasp Castle, I feel like this is exactly what Phandalin should look like.

Finally. Some cronyism that I can approve of. bsky.app/profile/mvbr...

the reason most of us stay up late is because we don't want our free time to end and tomorrow to start

Drinking my coffee. Prepping for some D&D. And then the inspiration hits me: My crawling claws need a bite attack.

PSA for those of you about to run some analogue D&D tonight with a Chessex battle mat: All wet-dry markers are NOT created equal. To avoid staining, be sure you use the correct type. Stained mat? Fear not. Reach out to your local pot head for whatever they clean their bong with. It works.

Please send a party out to the Wizard of Wines for a barrel of Purple Grapemash No. 3. My children need wine.

I cannot pronounce this title any other way.

Still only does 1d4 + Strength modifier. She can add her proficiency to the attack roll since she's a tavern brawler.

I need a new Battlestar Galactica series.

Spending time with the @frwiki.bsky.social wiki be like:

So how would this fit into my D&D game? A Bard who uses a hand puppet as their spellcasting focus? Or a sentient hand puppet Wizard with a human familiar? Where is Jeremy Crawford when you need him? Fun bit of trivia: much like Handy, Crawford’s evil catchphrase was also “READ A BOOK!”

Don’t get me wrong: dressing up as your D&D character on game night is cool and all. But this is the hero we need. bsky.app/profile/lizz...

New D&D house rule: Roll a Nat 1? Blindfold on. Shoes off. Walk barefoot across a kitchen floor covered in d4s.

Every once in a while, I'm tempted to go back to Twitter for like, a minute, just to see what the D&D content looks over there. What's the DC on disarming the trap to avoid being blinded?

Deeper context into the image: Everyone poops, yes. But everyone does NOT poop wherever they want. Such f*cking b*llsh*t.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Why can't D&D be both? Don't make me choose!

D&D Players: what's a flaw that makes your character relatable? And, do you lean into that flaw, or is it collecting dust on your character sheet?

Alright, Dungeon Masters: which seldom-used rule or mechanic are you going to bake into your next D&D game?

Why struggle with problems when you can battle bugbears?

Slow day at the office, so I’m trying to figure out what school of magic this fits into my D&D homebrew spell list. youtu.be/PM5_dgKDsrc?...

Once, when I was a waiter at Friendly's, I accidentally spilled a tray of drinks down a mom’s back on Mother’s Day. It was a very large party. It’s been 3 decades since, and if that incident hasn’t come up in a few of their conversations at family gatherings over the years, I’d be really surprised.

The Patriots still have 4:27 left to catch the golden snitch.

So, I just discovered that if you go into your account settings for DMsGuild.com or DriveThruRPG.com, you can opt out of being served products by AI-content creators. It’s under “Additional Preferences” in the settings. Wow, what a difference. You can really see how much AI swamps the TTRPG space 😕

I went through and counted ads, and 54% of my Pinterest feed is advertising. Like, WTF. 😕

While I am all for more welcoming and accessible #starbucks cafes (as mentioned in the news today), what truly would make these locations more welcoming and accessible is coffee that doesn’t cost as much as a pint of craft beer.

With all of the ways some D&D enthusiasts chase the hobby seeking ways to make it a side hustle or career out of their passion, I’m surprised nobody has developed a Dungeon Master certification course by now. The hobby needs more DMs and less accoutrements.

So much more interesting than a Nothic. How come this one never made into a Monster Manual for any edition of #D&D over the years?

On Gnomengarde: "the gnomes craft minor magic items and useful, nonmagical inventions to pass the time. In these endeavors, their failures outnumber their successes." In DoIP, we see the successes. What might the failures look like? So glad you asked! #D&D alongthetriboartrail.com/2025/04/27/t...

My cat Bofur acts like I am the Dark Lord of his domain, retreating from me at my every approach. That is, until I’m the first one of the family home after a weekend away. Then, he can’t get enough of me, at least until the others are home. Jerk.

Nobody reads #d&d blogs anymore. BUT, in case you do, here’s my latest. alongthetriboartrail.com/2025/04/23/t...

Is the party about to go full murder hobo at the tavern? Don’t want to run that kind of #D&D game? Deploy the Mobs mechanic from the DMG. 🪑🍺🍽️🦿💩🧅🍳🫙🪕🎳🚬🏺🧹🪣 all make fine improvised missile weapons certain to hit the hobos x-amount of times each round as the crowd fights back. Fook around. Find out.

Need an honest answer: if I blow my nose in public, and I issue forth a *HONK!* while doing so, is that viewed by others as just farting through my nose? This only just occurred to me today.

If you want a little Walking Dead in your #dungeonsanddragons game, I'd recommend ghouls over zombies. Ghouls are gnarly and, IMHO, fit the horror of the zombie apocalypse trope so much better. #d&d #dnd #5e #ttrpg alongthetriboartrail.com/2024/03/28/g...

Villain fails his CHA (Deception) check? Or perhaps the character nails their WIS (Insight) check. Regardless, pulling aside a player w/ the successful roll to tell them "you notice a single drop of sweat run down his face" seems much more interesting than "he may be lying to you." #d&d #dnd #ttrpg

I began carrying dice every day as part of my spiritual journey. I saw a video about synchronicity and thought it might be fun. I still owned a heap of dice. Then the idea occurred to me, I could literally pick up a game of any given TTRPG on zero notice. Cool!
