An actual exchange in a group my wife was in, back before we were even dating:

Player: “I wanna catch the stone from his sling! What should I roll for that?”

DM: “Damage.”

Volo sure has a lot to answer for.

Put the “Master” in “Game Master!” ~Professor DM, Dungeon Craft

Me too, I backed the project but I’m not on the Patreon, so I gotta wait for my packet, lol. But if James was right in the last Q&A they posted to the YouTube, it should be out sometime next month!

…

What does that mean?!

POODLE WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!!

The “Help” action is so lackluster in D&D 5. I appreciate that it exists that IS certainly a step up. But you do nothing with your turn (not very exciting), and your friend has Advantage, which helps, but if I had a nickel for every time I failed a roll with Advantage, I could probably buy a new copy of the PHB.

(Only a small part of why my game of choice is something completely different.)

Yes! 😆

Wait… 😟

Nooo! 😭

I made up a bunch of these for my Savage Pathfinder game and… I think I used them once. >.>

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this before but it makes me chuckle every time.

I’ll do you one better, I have the books (except for Irongate), AND the Action Decks, AND the custom Bennies!

I’m not surprised, I don’t recall how much the kickstarter raised, but it wasn’t a ton. (Still enough to fund, obviously.) It was originally called “Bite Me!” (which is approximately as vampire-y, though I certainly liked it a lot better) but somebody had a copyright on that name.

Anyway, here’s the DriveThruRPG listing

The MCDM RPG, it’s not out yet. (Patreon backers have access to playtest documents, but I’m not that dedicated.) Also it has a name, we just don’t know it yet. No, I’m not salty about that.

“Bite Marks”, a PBTA game about werewolves. Just hasn’t been the right time yet.

Savage Worlds variants include Weird War II, Weird Wars Rome, Last Parsec, Legend of Ghost Mountain–in each case, I only have limited game time, so there’s just a big old backlog, you know?

No time wasted, this internet rando approves. Now, I believe it’s time for another round of my usual sideliner cheer:

DROP A TRAIN ON 'IM, ANGIE!

Rope your girlfriend into it, Konsi, that’s what you have her for.

It’s such an odd game. There are some genuinely interesting dichotomies at play, a lot of potential for good drama, and themes I like, but it is not easy to wrap your head around, and moreover the book feels like it was laid out by an actual faerie. Which is kinda atmospheric, I guess, but you could, you know, impose some organization in the character building sections so players can find stuff.

My wife (girlfriend at the time) ran a short campaign for some of our friends a little over 10 years ago. It was fun, but damn. Building a character was such a headache.

Say it with me, folks.

Don’t point the gun at anything you’re not ready to shoot at.

And…

Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until you’re ready to shoot.

The full version used to be on 1d4chan before it went down.

This PDF has the ending I’m familiar with.

It’s absolutely demanding on your real life charisma in a way no other check is.

Yes, I have a bard like this. I love her dearly, but she is exhausting. That’s why I consider carefully before I decide if I’m going to use her.
