I do stuff, and things happen. Avid D&D nerd. Currently running 3 campaigns. Equality and solidarity are the way. Fuck Nazis.

Just read a comic that presented a premise I have GOT to run for #D&D: the PCs having to navigate a miniature golf course course while being attacked by hordes of zombies. Might be just the thing for a Halloween-themed session....

I couldn't agree more!
Spend some time in front of a mirror practicing your best evil laugh! It won't come up terribly often, but some loud, dramatic laughter at the right time can command a LOT of attention--and let your players know that this guy isn't just some minion.

Don't be afraid to let your players explore content you hadn't anticipated or prepared! Some of the best sessions I've ever run have been 75% off the top of my head, because the PCs did something unexpected. Flip through your notes, act like this was all part of the plan, and have fun!

Phoenix Phyre endured the Trial of Balance this week! It was a bit touch-and-go at first, but at the beginning of the third round they figured out the gimmick: each enemy could only be damaged by a character of the exact opposite alignment. Once they knew that, they cleaned 'em up!

I've never written a wedding before, and, uh...this is *stressful.*
What a wild read.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

The Sea Team's split-party adventures continued! Cleric and Ranger battled a vampire aboard the ship they chartered, while Bard and Monk snowboarded down a mountain to escape a pair of angry dragons! Next week we'll do stronghold stuff, then the band gets back together!

Well, that's it. The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham #Fighters lost Game 6 of the Climax Series 1-2. The Softbank Hawks are going on to the Japan Series, and my heart may never recover.

For the record: the ghost win has me salty as hell.

Let's get it done!
This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

We're going to game 6! No team in the Pacific League has EVER come back from a 2-0 in the Climax Series, and we've taken it from 3-0 to 3-3! One more win and we're going to the Japan Series!

Hell, "Arise, Rodimus Prime," does it for me, and I AM dead inside.
The hardest thing about getting back into #mtg is learning how much things have changed in the years since I last played regularly. A few dozen new mechanics, some rules changes, an expanded Standard format--there is a LOT for me to catch up on!
Super glad that she doesn't have a job anymore, but the fact that the VICTIM in this circumstance was removed from the stadium is fucking WILD. Those motherfuckers owe him some tickets to the World Series.

It's...it's beautiful.
Arguing that the creator of Call of Cthulhu has never played any TTRPG in his life is an absolutely wild take.
ANNOYINGLY so 😮‍💨
A simple rule of thumb, but a powerful one: the behavior you reward is the behavior you encourage. If you want your players to think out of the box, you have to reward them for doing so!

5 years ago, my best friend's schedule finally cleared up enough for him to join a D&D game I was running; a Gothic horror campaign with 4 other players. Fast forward a few years, and he's now engaged to one of those players! Plus, the two of them have asked ME to officiate the ceremony next week!
Session 144 of Traversing the Doors was last night! Our heroes debated the upsides to adopting a baby frost wurm, navigated an underwater tunnel filled with below-freezing water, and made their way to a shrine of the dragon god Io. Next week, they'll face the Trial of the Oracle!

Paladin: I want to use pieces of his armor and the rocks here to build a cairn. A memorial, to stand long after we leave this place.

Me: I like it. Go ahead and do a Religion check, but make it Strength-based.

Paladin: ...Bro, that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

Man, I wish we could edit our skeets. We played session 38, not 28!
