My Daughter: How old are you again?

Me: Old enough to remember a time when a song's chorus was also its title.

This is kind of a long shot. But, at times, hope it's all we got. This is a call for help from Mr. @stephenking.bsky.social. During this holiday season, I beckon your kindness in my coming request. I have recently purchased a First Edition of IT for my wife. She is the quintessential fan of yours.

Can we take a moment to address how charismatic Bill Clinton must be...?

As a veteran of both OIF and OEF, i feel this must be said. If National Guard REMFs are given combat patches for their "policing" of American cities, then that is Stolen Valor.

If there is a god, that mother fucker has the worst DM fatigue in documented history.

Told my daughter that @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social will be making American Girl Doll shoes, and her response was, "My Courtney doll is going to have shoes made by your favorite Dungeon Master?" She then screamed in excitement and began making plans for future outfits.
Thanks for all you do, sir.

Never diminish your worth. Remember, even the ass of a rat holds some measurable worth.

River crossing for an upcoming session. The river's 120 wide, its current is 265 ft per round, and its surface is covered in killing clouds.
Wish them luck!

From what Bard College would Miss Rachel acquire her knowledge?

My guess is College of Lore.

Building broken bad guys to combat broken character builds is one way to deal with encounter imbalance. But one could also rely on an array of other useful tools, like environment manipulation, enemy diversity, and spacial limitations.

Ever wanted to play dnd but lacked the means? Maybe join my game, Tales of Corraxah, on @startplaying.bsky.social. It's a Grim Dark narrative inspired by my time in service.
Session 0 is Wednesday, February 26th at 5:30pm pst.
Who knows? Maybe it'll change your life...

Me: Your 1st Character is who you imagine yourself to be. Your 2nd Character is who you believe other people perceive you to be. Your 3rd Character is who you actually are.

Them: isn't the 3rd Character you built the BBEG in your game?

Me:

DM Tip: From a narrative standpoint, "But then" is way more fun than "And then."

One can only pine for the gratification that their efforts echo into their players' lives while away from the table.

If the current political climate in the US has you down, remember that there are plenty of #ttrpg settings that can afford you the chance to thwart tyranny.
One could stand to reason it'd be good practice, worst case scenario.

Here's the secret to running a perfect dnd session:

Take ownership of the fact that the people at the table are players in THEIR game, not YOUR story.

I understand it's a game about fantasy, but maybe be more selective about what you determine is fantastical.

On a stormy Christmas Eve, Detective John McClain was awakened by a clatter. Haunted by the horrors he endured at Nakatomi Tower, he nervously surveyed his living room, his pistol at the ready.
It was there he saw the Intruder holding what looked to be a weapon.
He fired; killing the man dead.
