What takeout dinner would pair best with the Cloudward, Ho finale? I'm thinking maybe noodles or a burrito... #dimension20

One of my biggest weaknesses as a GM is running combat. I constantly forget tactics and rules, and I feel harried referencing stat blocks - ultimately my fights are probably too easy on the players. That said I’m really only now understanding this about myself so it gives me something to work on!

Owing to a brilliant suggestion in a guide video for the Call of Cthulhu scenario I ran yesterday - we made the crucial NPC of the module into a player character and it worked out extremely well. Felt like a fresh and exciting take that I’ll definitely consider again for the next one shot I run.

Just wrapped up this went SO WELL. 😮‍💨 really fun time with this system! Loved the focus on investigation, lore and exploration. Oh and the horror of it all. Perfect for spooky season. Anyway I’m going to go have some tea and decompress

Baby's first TPK 💀

What did you do for a Klondike bar? WHAT DID YOU DO?!

In my first D&D group there was a guy who was building a custom gaming table. He'd show us pictures of it and tell us how proud he was of how it was turning out. He never invited us to play on it. D&D people are weird, bro.

Running my first game of Call of Cthulhu tomorrow. Excited to unleash a little Eldritch chaos.

Whenever I attend a Critical Role screening or event I always feel like I am amongst my people - Congrats Fjord and Jester! 💙💚

I bought a bass guitar this week largely on impulse and…I’m feeling this vibe!

Ok ok, after two more rewatches I will cop to this opinion being rash…but their two songs are bangers.

At the end of the last session our party finds itself mostly incapacitated and trapped in a realm of demons. The DM asked us to roll up some demon characters to play in the meantime and I had an idea…

12 hour dnd session! My old ass usually begins flagging at hour six so…..yeah…pain.

Hot take: The Saja Boys songs were better 😬

I went to get my car washed and when they were cleaning the radio they tuned it to a station that plays 2000's Nu Metal. And after listening to banger after banger from my youth I realized that I totally had a Nu Metal phase in college. These songs are great! No no, they are amazing.

So I thought I was being sneaky drinking lentil soup from a coffee mug during my last zoom meeting but then halfway through I realized how psychotic I must look chewing after every sip. 😑

If I’m being honest I knew it was going to be a shitty year when Hbomberguy didn’t release a video last December.

Work demands some after hours attention but what I wouldn't give to be playing DAI or prepping my Call of Cthulhu one shot right about now...

I’m about 10 hours into DA: Inquisition and I’m in love with this setting and lore. I do have two hot takes though: 1) “Dragon Age” while metal as heck, is not a fitting title for the series. The name should instead be reflective of the conflict between the Mages and Templars as that is at the core.

For me, the haters were wrong. I thought Dragon Age 2 was really fun 🤷. I’m even more interested in playing Veilgiard now :P but first I have some DLC to play and then it’s on to Inquisition.

Currently playing through the Dragon Age games for the first time. Started with Origins and thought it was great if a little dated mechanics-wise. I was told to not look forward to DA2 but I'll tell you what. It's got its hooks into me. I'm really enjoying it.

Sometimes during a D&D session I’ll get an idea in my head that I think is funny and will spend too much time photoshopping an image to post to Discord. My DM just labeled them “High-effort shitposts” and you know…..fair.

Talking with you DM about your character's fears and motivations feels like talking to a good friend or a therapist....except with the expectation that they will use this information against you down the line in hilarious ways.

Playing an evil character one shot today. I don't like it so much :P I don't have fun being a jerk, even in my video and tabletop games. I need everyone to like me (GTA excepted)

Maybe it's a hot take but I don't like rolling digital dice - not satisfying. Hotter take? I really really dislike it when the DM auto rolls initiative on a VTT.

Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art. Keep making art.

nostalgia is remembering when you didn’t have to pay bills and attributing that feeling to mario

I, like all of you have had my fair share of spontaneously cancelled dnd sessions. But have you ever had a session spontaneously materialize? Yesterday one of the group members and I were doing some co-op gaming in the discord that we normally use for session chat...

I’m probably too permissible as DM. Especially when it comes to magic items. But magic items are fun - you want a game breaking item so you can break the game? Sounds like fun. Add it to your inventory, my dude. Pelor be with you.

My constant use of emojis and gifs always outs me as a millennial. 😅

happy presidents day

Our party was just granted one use of the wish spell and it might be the worst thing that's ever happened to us. This is a group of people that can scarcely find consensus on the next dungeon door to go through. Now we have to settle on the same campaign-defining wish....

I love Dungeons and Dragons with all of my heart but when the DM throws a puzzle at us my brain turns *off*.

I'm watching everything at 2x speed but Predathos as my witness I shall be caught up for the Critical Role C3 finale on Thursday!

I’m not good enough at Marvel Rivals to create a gameplay-based tier list. But I could create one centered on how likely my teammates are to pretend to hump my character in the spawn room before the game.

It hasn’t even been two weeks bro…

Did you know that your each of your D&D games have secret micro-transactions? It's true! If you Venmo your DM or buy them some snacks you can access special items. Give it a shot!

This has been the longest short week in the history of humanity. Also why is it January 71st?

I only have 24+ hours of Critical Role to catch up on cool cool cool.

It's funny to me that everyone in one of my dnd groups generally refers to me as my character name like...any time they talk to me. Does that mean that I've made an impactful impression as a character - or that I've made an unimpactful impression as a person?

Other than being on here, and Discord and playing Marvel Rivals I will be protecting my peace this week. The vibes are rancid. Love to you all.

"This was the wrong week to quit facebook" - spoken in the same cadence as Lloyd Bridges in Airplane...

Wife has put the Mr. Yucky symbol on the discount coffee we bought signifying that it will be up to me to drink the remainder of the bag.

I get that micro-transactions are here to stay because people do spend money on them but it's a bummer. I'm cursed with the elder millennial memories of just buying a game for sixty dollars and all of the costumes being...you know...just part of the game that you bought.

Have I ever had a single iota of interest in watching any of the Sonic movies? No. No I have not. Has that interest spiked to 100% after watching the Jim Carey dance scene in Sonic 3? Yes. Yes it has.

I kind of miss watching the news? But any exposure to it nowadays causes my soul to crumple up into a little ball and die so...yeah still haven't really jumped back in yet. Maybe next month.

[willem dafoe unprompted] now, this cookie monster. [toothy smile] what a creature, what a lust. it consumes him. [crosses legs] he’s really a tragic figure.

Watching Bram Stoker’s Dracula for the first time and I can tell Keanu is trying his best.

Today I replaced the motor and led’s on our Rudolph the red nose reindeer inflatable. Feeling pretty accomplished so feel free to contact me for any inflatable related surgeries as I’m now board certified. I accept most inflatable health insurance plans.
