I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if a bunch of people filled out a 1inch by 1inch hexagon and made a hex crawl map from it. There’d have to be a generic and easy to read key provided, but maybe there would be open slots for people to add unique features and landmarks. Maybe a few lucky people could get clusters of hexes to fill instead of a single tile.

How would that map look? Would people put their favourite land formations or make more generic tiles? How many towns and villages would there’s be? What about single tile islands?

I’m not gonna not play any ttrpgs for a while. When I return and decide to run/play in D&D or VTM, I’m gonna vet players and bar children from playing at my table. I’m not going to put up with players who don’t know what the characters they’ve made can do and BS like misusing charm person.

I do not want to hear another player tell me how their character used a spell to manipulate PCs or NPCs into a sexual interaction. It’s disgusting, they should be called out and kicked from the table.

Some random guys and I were going hard on the dance floor and decided to get into a circle to show off before returning to our respective groups. It was pretty cool.

I think GMs should tell players that they can leave (even mid-session) if they’re not enjoying themselves. It better to leave and find a game more suited for your tastes or to leave and return once they GM has a bit more experience or has ironed out the bumps that made you leave.

That’s what I did, and even though I complained on here about the session I returned to, it was a step up from the first, and last week was a step up again. I just couldn’t handle the first week players not knowing their characters abilities and talking about out of table stuff mid-game, during combat.

I ran a hastily planned D&D session for level 0 characters.

One player left the table, however they were expecting to play at the other table with the level 2 druid they had made. I may have came across a small harsh but I did say that they could leave as they probably wouldn’t have had fun and had different expectations of what the game was going to be like.

The other three said they enjoyed it, despite four characters dying. Highlights include: Bob the murder, Timothy the half-mad survivor, trying to save a deer impaled on a tree and unintentionally killing it, burning down a giant rotting tree while still inside it, and finally said tree blowing up because the muguffin they were after was explosive.

Edit: The session was roughly two hours and we played half a game of Wingspan afterwards.

Last year, I expressed interest in running D&D in my local game store but no one responded. This year I’m trying again with VTM 5e, I haven’t had any response yet but hopefully someone will show up on the day. I made characters for anyone to pick up and use and will be making a reference sheet because the core rulebook don’t have the best layout.

My shiny luck is good today but I’m gonna get annoyed if I get a third yungoos.

Imagine running D&D and needing another player to Co-DM because you struggle get your players to pick up the quest/plot lines and neither the players nor the DM actually know what they spells they chose actually do. For example, not knowing that sacred flame deals radiant damage.

 It’s kinda annoying to be said co-DM, taking notes and trying to chug along the other party members so the pacing isn’t completely rubbish. It’s even more annoying when a hyped up boss takes hours to reach without any combat to break up the monotony, only for said boss to not actually be there in the end, having a player jump in and out ultimately doing nothing but make references and crack one joke, and to top it all off some bizarre twist that had no foreshadowing except for the jump-in player talking about it because it’s a part of the game they’re referencing.

For clarity, I will name the game and unforeseen end of session twist. The player who jumped in (for probably less than an hour) was making Genshin Impact references with their character being more or less the game’s poster girl. The twist was that the boss’ minion and the item the party was sent to find turned into slime. The session was roughly six hours long. Six hours for the hyped up boss to not even show up, and then it’s minion and the item the party spent the the session trying to retrieve to turn into slime at the very end.

Next session the DM asked me to explain what happened to a player whose character wasn’t even there before the start of the session.

Finally, the team is assembled. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

I think that Sword and Shield should’ve had the pyroar evolution line instead of charizard. The evolution line has only been available during the main story of XY and the poképelago in ultra sun/moon, plus lions are the national animal of England. It would’ve fit in so well.

Seeing people on reddit leap to the defence of pornography and fantasies involving the corrective rape of lesbians is disturbing. Lesbians do not want to have sex with men. It’s not “consensual non consent”. It is rape. It is a real fear, a real traumatic experience repackaged as a so called “harmless fantasy”. If lesbians can agree that porn involving our sexuality as being something for men to enjoy is harmful then why defend this. This is the same issue with the quiet part being said aloud.

The kick in the teeth is the post getting taken down followed shortly after by a ‘Friendly reminder to not kinkshame people’. At what point did the rape of our community become a ‘kink’?

Edit: The ‘friendly reminder’ has been taken down but I feel that this needs to be said.

I’m cursed. I found a 6th shiny galarian meowth.

Fortress update:

The siege is over, a forgotten beast showed up, and I still have many walls to engrave. 

Outside the fortress, the original fortress has been reclaimed, a dark pit has been taken over in retaliation, and I found some interesting sites. There is an empty hamlet near my fortress, a kobold town with a population below 10, and a dark pit in the east that is now owned by a goblin civilisation in the far south.

The first siege of the fortress has happened and it’s been quite eventful so far. The homeland got conquered, my mayor is now the queen mayor, my military killed a small army of crundles and a dwarf got his balls shot off through a 1 wide fortification.

I think my luck is cursed. I joked about getting another shiny galarian meowth before getting milcery and it happened. I have 5 of them now, only one of which was intentionally hunted for.
