That secret DM technique where you lower your NPC's IQ because you're party really likes the really dumb plan they came up with. (and so do you but you'll never admit it)

I feel the desire to start a new large scale project. The only issue is, I don’t know what that project is. I have a few ideas I put on the self a while back. Maybe it’s time to dust them off. Might be reaching out to some creators for a few of them.

I am unashamed to admit that multiple songs from "Kpop demon hunters" have made it to the gym playlist. I am about to become a kpop girlie. I can feel it.

I want to learn to run Vampire: the masquerade exclusively to run a “what we do in the shadows” game. I’m tired of cool, emotional vampires. Let’s have fun with more eternal idiots and their antics.

Flexing my arms and actually seeing muscles moving is the single greatest motivator to keep going to the gym. Long way to go, but we’re going.

The pain of having to hold off on an announcement to avoid announcing it on April 1st. Guess it’ll wait till next week.

To anyone who’s ever created a community discord server, what are some tips for setting it up that I should know? Looking at setting one up myself and want to avoid as many issues as I can.

Had an idea for a stream where any viewers who are DMing a campaign can send me their players character sheets. Then we live build a combat encounter for their campaign with their players in mind. Is that something that sounds entertaining/useful?

I’m feeling that weird itch to stream again. I need to find a way to do it consistently without my ideas becoming too convoluted to manage at the start. Small ideas and build up regularity. Then I can do the crazy stuff once I get going. Now I need small ideas…

I’m not saying I want to, but… If I were to make a book of supplemental material to 5e, it would be setting agnostic. There are too many things out there that are “how to play in my world” and not enough “how to play in your world”. More tools, less finished products.

"never have I ever..." but as your D&D character Go.

That weird urge to make a podcast or a video essay about some really no secure shit you know no one else will care about. If I go down that road there’s no coming back.

I love the inherent comedy that erupts at every D&D table. I have never seen anything bring a group of people to tears from laughter as much as D&D has. Its almost perfectly designed to foster inside jokes and ridiculous situations. If your table never laughs, thats a red flag.

I need a way to run “practice dnd campaigns”. Like a s a way to get better at running campaigns, without needing to commit to a full campaign. And no, one shots aren’t what I’m talking about.

It turns out that instead of ignoring something till the last minute, you can tackle alittle bit of it every day so that way you’re not overwhelmed and stressed out. If only I learned this BEFORE I turned 32. It would have added years to my life.

Stretching is the flossing of fitness. I do not need to elaborate.

Looking for a good app for tracking diet that dosent have a bunch of ads on it. Dosent have to bee too in-depth. Just enough to help me stay on task.

He’s a solid 4. But he’s a forever DM who’s good at scheduling. What the verdict?

R.E.P.O looks like a ton of fun. Curse all these games that require a group of friends AND the ability to all have free time to play them. It seems like a content machine too.

It happened. I never thought it would but it did. I’m excited to go to the gym tomorrow.

Let’s, indeed, go!

For anyone who has run/played in a west marches style campaign: How did you handle players signing up for too many consecutive sessions where others didn’t get to play? Were there limits on how many sessions a player could attend in a row? Did your group ever have this issue?

My manager just (not so subtly) implied that our team should have an updated resume in the coming months. In unrelated news, I will be starting up a patreon for my content in the next few weeks. Time to get “Shickadance Studios” up and running.

New ttrpg romance type just dropped: You and the party member with amnesia fall in love, but when they gets their memories back they remember their wife and kids. How do you handle that?

I'm obsessed with the idea of a Monster Hunter x Dungeon Meshi D&D campaign. The more I think about it, the more it appeals to me. Exploring an untamed world, encountering and understanding the creatures there, and possibly having to hunt them to survive? Sounds fun to me!

Ok first week of the gym is complete. So the next question I have: What are your best recovery/rest day tips?

Gym update: Everything hurts but the will is still strong. I’ll be fit in no time.

Why does getting up super early make the day feel 100x longer? I went from 7am to 5am and it feels like there are 10 extra hours in the day. Seems useful, but it’s also exhausting. Science explain.

found out the gym opens at 5am. Couldn't be happier! Scheduled a class with a trainer before work. Here goes nothing.

Ok hear me out, Monster Hunter inspired, exploration based, hex crawl…

Starting my gym journey this week. What’s your best gym advice for a newbie?

I will never run a setting that dosent include Dragonborn. I’ve drawn my line. Pick your side.

Combine “Mean Girls” and D&D Call it a “Fetch Quest”.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all who celebrate. To everyone else, enjoy the money you save for being single.

My brain is so cooked from running actual plays that I don’t even remember what a normal game is like. I can’t remember the last time I played dnd that wasn’t shown to a larger audience than the people at the table.

We are live! www.twitch.tv/mr_shickadan...

Chaos Theory returns tonight! Episode 12 will mark our return to weekly episodes for the remainder of the season. Can’t wait for you to see what the gangs been up too!

I’m not sure how much longer I can put effort into content without financial incentive. I still enjoy content and making stuff, but life makes demands and without adjusting I will fail to meet them.

Chronically this month is 1/12 And I think that’s the rating I’d give it to. No stars. Predictably bad plot. Too expensive. Not excited for the sequel.

So TikTok is back? Man, I’m tired y’all.

Fun while it lasted

New ADHD game just dropped. It’s called “how many drink containers are on your desk right now?” +1 point for each bottle, glass, or can +1 extra point if it’s still at least 1/4 full. What’s your current score?

I fully believe that if I was give “pretty privilege” I would be too powerful. God know what they made so they nerfed me with the bland and bald debuff

No, its not confidence. Its pure survival instinct. And I'm barely getting by out here.

Going through my feed and I couldn’t help but see it. I’m my own worst enemy.

Ok…sometimes he loves me back.

Just got my first “we’d love to send you our product free of charge” in the mail! Best part is it’s something I’ve been meaning to buy for months now. Win win!

Anyone else just want to play some basic ass, run of the mill D&D? I’m talking no frill, sword and board, high fantasy ass questing. We dungeon, we dragon, we loot, we go next.

See you at pax east

Umm…chat? Let’s go? My first K on YouTube? I’m pogging
