I am halfway through my first cup of coffee of the morning and he has asked me twice if we’re ready to play Dragonbane yet

BitterOldPunk @bitteroldpunk.bsky.social · 1d

Introduced my 12-year-old nephew to Dragonbane.

“Shields in D&D are stupid. This is much better.”

“There are no modifiers? You just… roll?”

“They call me the One-Hit Killer.”

*moments later*

“Oh. Right. Yeah. One action. Huh. Guess I’ll die.”

“This is fun! Let’s play all day tomorrow!”

We are at an AirB&B deep in the countryside and the WiFi is so fast that there must be a secret military base nearby

I will pour ranch dressing on a baked potato, and then I will eat that ranch-dressing-covered baked potato, and I will look you in the eye while doing so in a way that makes you uncomfortable
