there’s only 3 players present today and we’re playing a premade adventure and we’ve already split the party into three one-person groups twice

[jalomieli]

remember that one time we rolled a 30 charisma check to cast dispel magic on an npc bc we were having None of that Weird Magic Shit

[jalomieli]

I keep thinking ‘surely it can’t get much worse for my int'l game pc’ and * spoiler alert * it just keeps getting worse

[jalomieli]

me, thinking to myself: honestly there’s only, like, two ways things could get worse than this the DM, from her know-all see-all seat of death and doom: are you sure?

[jalomieli]

life is a roller coaster for my pc. ups and downs. mostly- a lot of the, uh. mostly downs.

[jalomieli]

an npc: you’e some of the most important people ever. you will decide the fate of the entire world

the party: ok... do you have any tuna in your pockets? could you prepare it into a clock shape? we're summoning a time god who’s a cat

the npc: *stares into the camera like he’s on the office*

[jalomieli]

our DM, like a year ago: the world of the game literally revolves around the player characters the sweet unknowing players: awwwww haha that’s so nice

an NPC last night, to the party: you’re basically proto deities, with one or more of you very likely to become full fledged gods at some point the party, and also the players: well fuck

[jalomieli]

arguably the most evil, terrifying, terrible NPC known to us: *cries* all the players ooc: oh noooooo, sweetie, whats wrong with him??? :c 

[jalomieli]

a lot of good stuff was discussed in last night's dnd session but tbh my favourite was when the DM went 'not everything is cannibals!' at us at one point

but like

to be fair

there's been a lot of cannibals

some highlights from this week’s DnD:

my character’s long-awaited, absolutely agonizing confession of love, A+ 10/10 on the suffering scale, I cried

the halfling Disguise Self'ing herself into ‘cousin Olga’, the vaguely russian-sounding 'part-tree, part-ghost, all gnome’ “cousin” of our sorcerer

our DM gearing up for an epic boss fight only to have the sorcerer roll the highest initative and banish the enemy on the first turn of combat

[jalomieli]

the DM’s addition to the map we didn’t have a fight on

Are you going to do something in your turn other than have a breakdown?

The DM (via outofcontextdnd)

so after getting Scrying, my warlock has been putting it to good use, except like, everything in the campaign is a little weird, so his more recent scrys have included such intersting trips as:

his dead mom who’s in a sapphire being held by the almost-god dragon ruler of the land (well, that one failed. giant sapphire wall blocking the way)

a timeline-hopping diviner wizard, who was in another timeline, and who was then teleported to another plane, while in the other timeline

a maybe-dead-maybe-not-dead dragon who was in another timeline (?), or plane (?), or both (?) - succeeded partially because my warlock had his hand on the dragon’s actual literal heart (?) at the time of casting

[luchia13]

today my players put forth the idea of subduing a beholder via drinking contest and i have never been prouder

[jalomieli]

i just wanna point out that this was in response to an npc suggesting that the best way to dispel a modify memory cast by a god would be to GO STAND IN FRONT OF A BEHOLDER

[jalomieli]

an npc, last week, almost verbatim:

[outofcontextdnd]

“You are the most unlikable person with 18 Charisma I’ve ever met.”

“I can choose not to use it.  The orc has a high Strength, that doesn’t mean he HAS to be lifting things all the time.”

[jalomieli]

A Black Drongo, apparently, seems it can be found in Taiwan. (ngl it was just the cutest result when I searched for 'small black bird')

aesthetics for my warlock moodboard by lavellanpls

extra bit that didnt make it to the thing bc colours:

ngl can't wait to see Matt Colvilles's take on easy/difficult classes in 5e DnD. the first character I played was a bard (probably the easiest full spellcasting class imo?) and I'm extremely glad my DM let me do it even though he expressed some concern over a brand-new player going for a spellcasting class

I expect to be having a lot of Opinions on the easiness/difficulty discussion. or. maybe mostly just opinions on why warlocks fucking rule. (hint: it's not because eldritch blast is an appropriately op cantrip)
