This is the gatekeeping bullsh!t I’m talking about. This is what the meme is talking about. Don’t be this guy. Seriously, f*ck this guy.

Play how you want. You’re not “playing wrong”.

I’ve seen this meme making the rounds and a lot of folks taking it out of its original context.

Here’s the thing: this meme isn’t about rules minutia. It’s about play styles and gatekeeping.

In the basements of Hommlet, the fight between the dice and candies gets intense as one of the dice goes down under the sinister blades of the candy cultists.

Hot #dnd take:
I’m going to annoy a lot of old school folks by saying that “fun house” modules were rarely that much fun. White Plume Mountain barely scrapes by when the DM makes liberal changes. The absurdities are just too immersion breaking for my tastes. What do folks think? #osr

I dropped a #chocolate truffle and it literally landed in an open peanut butter jar. I had opened the peanut butter for an unrelated purpose. Clearly, this is a message.

2025 Game Night Tournament begins!

Winner in December takes home the sweet, coveted Game Night Leia Cup… which is like the Stanley Cup… but without the cup part.

Definitely more generic maps get way more table time. That said, they don’t have to be 100% featureless… but random altars or other very unique features have GM’s saying to the players “That’s not actually there” a lot.

The old King’s Road and Pathfinder Woodlands saw a LOT of use at my table.

The group that eventually formed migrated to the AD&D hardbacks.

His name was Martin Griffin. I haven’t heard from him in something like 30 years and was never able to find him on social media… but if you’re out there, thanks Martin.

He got out a mix of small books… I don’t recall if he had the AD&D PHB yet, but he had some of the little brown books.

I clearly recall Eldritch Wizardry for obvious reasons, but he also had Greyhawk and possibly the Holmes blue book. We didn’t know about the differences in the early rule sets.

A #DnD reminiscence:

A friend from elementary school came over 1 day to hang out and said “We’re going to play this new game I got.”

He didn’t phrase it as a question. It was a statement of intent.
