I may not have the largest TTRPG collection, but I have read every single book I own cover to cover.

The only challenge to taking this feat is that you have to actually have friends. It is an origin feat for most characters and one you get at higher levels for edgy rogues.

Want to fly while invisible? Enlarge yourself and a friend? Cast Evard's Black Tentacles and Hypnotic Pattern at the same time? This spell is for you!

Here you go.

Do you want the world to be ruled by otters? This is how you get a world ruled by otters.

In case no one has asked you recently, the wyrmling wanted me to pose this question… “What is your favorite dinosaur?”

February marks the 5 year anniversary of the very first DnD advice from the wyrmling. This one post led to so many friends in this community as well as the wyrmling being featured with interviews on dozens of youtube channels and nearly breaking the DnDmemes subreddit.

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: So this one is my 400th DM Tip? Me: Yep. 400 in five years. 9yo DM: That’s enough. Me: What? 9yo DM: If 400 tips are enough to improve someone’s DMing, nothing will help.

What are your favorite books that have inspired you as a dungeon master?

Get out there and play some games.

9yo DM: Having to remember the rules of spellcasting, smiting, and whatever monks do is not as important as knowing what your monsters can do and how they can defeat the party.

It would be really cool to be nominated in the Bloggies for my post on how TTRPGs helped me deal with PPD. I'd like this post to get more visibility so it can reach folks who are struggling with PPD and give them a bit of hope: www.ttrpgkids.com/2025/11/19/m...

It is even acceptable to have a critical hit dance for when things get serious.

I got notified today that someone recently bought all three of my DnD rap songs on… iTunes. Not sure who you are fellow old dude, but I appreciate you.

It is always best to take a good stick with you on a hike.

Early Dungeons and Dragons did not expect characters to adventure forever. The game had an answer for what came after success. That's what my new deep-dive video explores. Now live on YouTube! youtu.be/doXvXzGSzrY #DnDHistory #OSR #TTRPG

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: Want to hear a riddle? Me: Yes. Of course. 9yo DM: What has eyes but can’t see, ears but can’t hear, and a mouth but can’t speak? Me: Hmmmm… I have no idea. 9yo DM: A dead gnoll.

This is an excellent guide! Wyrmling approved.

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: I think I saw a black widow in the garage. Me: Where? 9yo DM: Over here… well that’s good… it looks like it’s gone now.

Conversations with the 9yo DM: Player: Can I play a tiefling? 9yo DM: Sure… but I am not going to hand-wave the fact that you are demon spawn. People might hide their kids when you come by. Player: What about an orc? 9yo DM: Remember the 2nd Orc War of the Miliper Mountains?

Create a fun scenario and see what they come up with.

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: People go on about how bad Stormtroopers are a shooting, but no one ever talks about how bad their armor is. Me: Go on… 9yo DM: They wear this clunky armor, but I have never seen a Stormtrooper survive a single shot. What does it do?

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: When a necromancer who is controlling some undead dies, part of their soul infuses the undead making them sentient and much more powerful. Me: I like that. 9yo DM: And if the necromancer ever returns the reawakened will hunt him down.

I have applied for at least 100 jobs over the past 8 months and have continually gotten rejected. This morning I got another rejection email after what I felt was an excellent interview. My wife played me this song to help cheer me up. Love this woman! youtu.be/snbz2E5rQ1M?...

I don’t normally post about sports, but… Hotty Toddy

Our family just finished watching the Avatar the Last Airbender series… so get ready for a bunch of elemental character options and abilities from the wyrmling in the new year.

Ruin two bands by combining them: AC/DC Talk

Magic Item of the Week from the wyrmling: Ask your DM if the Ring of Ability Block is right for you.

Feat of the Week from the wyrmling! Bonded Dreams can truly help you stay connected to the one you love even while out adventuring.

As an arachnophobe, I’d have to say the Spider Dragon by @redwyrm.bsky.social’s Wyrmling. That thing even got an official release by WotC!

Conversations with the 9yo DM: Me: Which class do you think would make the best spy? 9yo DM: Druid Me: Really? 9yo DM: Think about it. Every predicament that Ethan Hunt got into could have been solved if he could wildshape or cast a few spells like pass without a trace. 1/2

Make a Bond film D&D: Dr. No… but.
