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. 😂😂😂

Not quite 20 feet.
Still only 1d6 bludgeoning damage.

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
I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to someone who rises and sleeps under the verisimilitude of the very world that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! 🧵5/6
We use acronyms like RAW, RAI, RAF. We use these acronyms as the backbone of a life spent preparing the next session that only half of you will show up to. You use them as a punchline! 🧵4/6
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
Matthew Lillard explores pooping in a box.
Am I the only one who thought “Matthew Lillard is totally going to poop in a box…”
Bard: I CAST VICIOUS MOCKERY!
Now that I’ve seen this image Tarasp Castle, I feel like this is exactly what Phandalin should look like.
Finally. Some cronyism that I can approve of.

the reason most of us stay up late is because we don't want our free time to end and tomorrow to start
Cold from the foil is the only way.
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.

Drinking my coffee. Prepping for some D&D. And then the inspiration hits me:
My crawling claws need a bite attack.
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.
Please send a party out to the Wizard of Wines for a barrel of Purple Grapemash No. 3. My children need wine.
I cannot pronounce this title any other way.
Still only does 1d4 + Strength modifier. She can add her proficiency to the attack roll since she's a tavern brawler.
Greenest in flames!
I need a new Battlestar Galactica series.
Get well soon!
Congrats!
Tower of Storms in DoIP!

Spending time with the @frwiki.bsky.social wiki be like:
If it kept me off that platform, I'd say weal.
Okay, just watched the John Oliver episode on Twitter. That temptation has been thwarted. Gross.
