"I use the were-rats' head as an interrogation aid... Like a hand puppet."

Dm: Alright, I’m gonna let you turn into a horse and bash the door down, but ONLY if you roleplay the shit out of this.

Druid: NEIGH, MOTHAFUCKA *bashes the door down*

Dryad: “Corruption has come to the forest.” Babarian confused: “Are the squirrels taking bribes?”

Alternative interpretations of vicious mockery:

Your bard is a comedian whose jokes cause people to die laughing

Your bard is so obnoxious that people get so angry they literally explode

Your bard’s insight makes people go home and re-think their life choices

Your bard just shouts things that give people really bad mental images

Your bard’s puns are so terrible that everyone who hears them dies

DM: "You're medium, right?"

Rogue: "I'm far away."

DM: "You're medium, right?"

Rogue: "I shot it with my bow."

DM: "You're medium. Right?!"

Rogue: "I'm a hundred feet away!"

DM: "Are you a medium creature?!"

Rogue: "...yes..."

Sadistic Wizard

Our wizard pours the bag of caltrops into the bottle of alchemist fire, then uses a cantrip to teleport them into the nasal cavity of the dragon. The dragon inhaled at the same time, so the caltrops are now in its ice sac, and cannot use its breath attack.

The DM is not happy.

[outofcontextdnd]

DM: It is as quiet as ever it was.

rogue: Who’s Everett?

[outofcontextdnd]

druid: What language are they speaking? DM: It’s indiscernible. rogue [checking sheet]: I don’t speak discernible.

“Oh, boo-fucking-hoo, the Cockatrice ate your dad. If only we were all so lucky!”

— The druid isn’t bitter, not at all

[prokopetz]

The other fun thing about running D&D in something approximating an authentically medieval milieu is that you can have warlocks with proper lord-and-vassal relationships with their patrons, with all the intensely legalistic and excruciatingly complicated webs of rights and obligations that implies. It’s a nice alternative to the whole wizard-with-a-sugar-daddy business!

“You were supposed to levy troops to support me in my feud with the King of the thirteenth hell this past season.” 

“I did! I raised that entire army of skeletons.”

“That you used to fight a dragon with your fellow adventurers.”

“Look, the charter says I’m obliged to raise troops under your banner. But it also says that you will provide lodging and transport for them in the field. I didn’t see a portal to hell open at all for those three months. And believe me, we looked.”

“…”

“Look, it’s not my fault you haven’t granted me the power to instantly send people to hell yet, all I’m saying. But hey. We did fight under your banner, so your demonic majesty received the credit for that dragon takedown, which ought to at least be some bragging rights down there, right?”

Oh by the way here are all the dice i have! I picked up a new set from Fanexpo, so now I own a set that’s just straight up tide pods.

My babies up top are, from left to right, malachite, carnie bumper car, lemon lime, magma, fruit rollup, orange creamsicle, and eldritch porp

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

hey question what class would this blog be under DnD wise? i feel like Bard would be too cliche

@perpetual-persephone

kjhkjhkjhkhfkdhks a couple of things. one, i know the icon is confusing as fuck but I go by she/her pronouns and i keep forgetting to update my description (sorry bout that) 

but this argument is hilariously paralleled to the “i dont want a fucking magical destiny fuck you post” a while back. 

Assigned MC kin, assigned bard kin, same diff. 

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

i am fully aware that rejecting my bardic nature is kinda futile when i look like this day to day

[ilookatyourblog]

Bard, college of lore. Focusing on telling tales and stories to others. Maybe some multicoass into wizard to be able to write out spells

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

i do like the multiclass option bc thats kinda how i approach my life, master of none is better than master of one, etc. think i’d rather be wizard 4 / bard 3 than bard 7 

also as for in game race i have a pair of earbuds i think some of yall remember

[thebibliosphere]

We should form a guild. Where’s the cleric, they’re good with paperwork…

[feamir]

Idk about a cleric, but @gallusrostromegalus should be the ranger, with Arwen as an animal companion!

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

aight so we got 

me - Bard, multiclassing into Wizard 

gallus - Ranger, w/Arwen, Charlie, and Mochi

@katy-l-wood - rogue, bc you showed up as one to Gallus’s wedding

hang on @thebibliosphere what are you?
