Tried a new #game today and we can see why it’s going #viral! Had a ton of fun playing #GrabtheMic and getting to check out some new songs. The game allows for 2-10 players.
“Grab the Mic” game set up on a table.

Many #AreaofEffect spells have wreaked havoc in campaigns hosted around the world. Have you ever narrowly escaped or lost a character to one of these spells? We would love to hear about your encounters! ✨
This graphic shows the break down for Area of Effect Spells in Dungeons & Dragons. It shows the area effected by 5ft, 10ft, and 20ft radial spells as well as 15ft and 30ft cones.

Question❓for the TTRPG fam: have you ever used consent sheets before a new campaign?

Safety at the table is a core value for us & consent sheets are standard practice for session 0! 🎲

We have a great write up on these here
