When I was a kid, I remember getting shushed if I spoke in anything above a whisper within a mile of a library. And now I’m a grown ass man wearing earplugs to drown out the cacophony of cackling old ladies playing mahjong and canasta all the way across the library.

I'm beginning to suspect I don't collect dice because I play D&D. Rather, I play D&D because I collect dice. These math rocks just made eye contact with me. I must have them.

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

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

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.

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!”
A scene from The Tick animated series, in which the titular hero is attacked by a villain known as Handy - a sentient hand puppet with a human animal companion.

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.

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.

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 😕

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.
