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

This assumes there's a group of friends that want to play, or can arrange their schedules to find time to play together. I've run games for folks who show up solo or in pairs to play at a table of 6. The game is far past "I'm going to play with my friends..." People just want to play, friends or not

I would rather you just said “thank you” and stacked your dice into a spire. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up the core rule books and get nerdy. Either way, I don’t give a *damn* whether you like pepperoni or not!" 🧵6/6

You don’t want the truth, because deep down in places you don’t talk about at taverns, you want me behind that Dungeon Master’s screen. You *need* me behind that Dungeon Master’s screen. 🧵3/6

You weep for the Rule of Cool and you curse the Player’s Handbook. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that fudging rolls, while tragic, probably *saved lives.* And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. 🧵2/6

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

I had to Google this since I don’t know anything about anime. Vampire was published in 1983, and animated in 1985. English version wasn’t until 2005. Santa Cruz introduced their Screaming Hand in 1985. I wonder if one influenced the other.

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.

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

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.

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?
