Is this blog still alive?
for the moment, pretty dead. but who knows if I'll every decide to start it up again
sorry to anyone who was invested in the story I was making up
I’m not even sure if enough people would even be interested in this blog reviving
It’s a long shot, but did anyone following this blog also follow my old choose your own adventure side blog?
This couldn’t be a more obvious portent if it fell from the sky on a clear day.
August 24, 2018
Instead it rose from the water, which makes it an exponentially more terrifying portent.
Sweet, love a good apocalypse rock
More fun facts about ancient Celtic marriage laws: There were no laws against interclass or interracial marriage, no laws against open homosexual relationships (although they weren’t considered ‘marriages’ since the definition of a marriage was ‘couple with child’), no requirement for women to take their husband’s names or give up their property, but comedians couldn’t get married
It’s Adam and Eve not Adam Sandler and Eve
I want to expound upon “comedians couldn’t get married” thing because it’s actually really interesting. Satire was respected in Ancient Ireland. It was thought to have great power, enough to physically maim the subject one was making jokes about. Satirists could bring down kings with a witty enough insult. That was actually their original function. When the king didn’t do right by his people, a bard was supposed to compose a poem so scathing it would raise welts on the king’s skin to oust him (it was illegal for a “blemished” king to rule.) Unwarranted satire was considered a form of assault. So what it boils down to is ancient Celts being like “These people are too dangerous to reproduce. DO NOT TRUST THEM WITH CHILDREN. EVER.”
whats a king to a bard
Thats literally a dnd skill
Vicious mockery at sixth level
Stop. Normalizing. Bath Bombs. they’re training people not to recognize the inherent dangers of magical vortexes
thousands of years of evolutionary instincts gone just like that. you dumbasses are gonna stick your feet in the first glowing portal you stumble across and get kidnapped by the fucking fae
Sounds like the fae’s fucking problem
14/5 - 20/5: A Small Catalog Of Very Reassuring Things
Here are four things that are very, very reassuring to find on land you’ve recently moved to. Definitely good signs.
1. Poorly concealed underground …. thing.
2. Small purple flowers twining around a skull. This species of flower does not seem to be present anywhere else on the property, and you’ve never seen it before. The skull is too large for a rabbit, too small for a deer.
3. Fallen signpost. No text remains.
4. T h e d o o r

Random Gemstone Generator
image credit: Lucas Durham
A “Gemerator,” if you will. Since there is already a way to roll randomly for gemstones in the DMG (p. 134), this series of tables is for creating brand new gemstones that might not even exist in nature. These are the gems as you might find them in a dungeon. To determine their worth, I would use the DMG. The appearance of the gem might not affect its overall worth since we are inventing new gems, so just make it worth as many gold pieces as is appropriate for the circumstance. You can also use this with my jewelry generator.
Gem Type
Most precious stones and minerals considered gems come in two varieties, either a stone or a crystal. Roll 1d6 to determine the gem’s type:
1: Stonelike (Matte)
2-3: Stonelike (Glossy)
4: Crystalline (Opaque)
5-6: Crystalline (Translucent)
Gem Size
First roll for the gem’s size. Since this is D&D, the gemstones can afford to be much larger than in reality. Fun thing I never really thought about before making this is that gemstones are a good way for adventurers to carry around gratuitous amounts of wealth in a smaller amount of space. Imagine carrying around a one-centimeter diamond instead of 5000 gold coins in a one-ton chest. Don’t ever dismiss the importance of gemstones.
Gem Shape
Although a gem’s shape does come from its cut, to simplify this series of tables and increase the variety it generates, I’ve separated the gem’s cut and its shape into different tables.
Gem Cut
Most valuable gems found in a dungeon have already been cut unless said dungeon is a natural cave system. To determine how the gem was cut, roll on the table below. Before modern advances, most hard gems were “cut” by abrading two gems together of similar hardness, beveling the natural crystal’s corners into facets. The gem dust from the abrasion was gathered and mixed with water or oil for polishing the gems into their finished form.
Gem Color
Next roll for the gem’s color. I could have just gone with ROYGBIV colors but gems can come in many varying hues. If you roll a 20, the gem has two colors. Roll again, ignoring further values of 20. Then roll on the next table to determine how the two colors interact.
Gem Pattern
Duo-colored gems are common, especially among stones rather than crystals. Think things like banded agate or tigers eye.
And you’re done! You’ve got a brand new gemstone that may or may not exist in nature! Use it for important or unique magic items or when imagining a new mineral for your setting.

Play D&D with anyone you wouldn’t want to go on a 3 hour car trip with.
D&D is a 3-4 hour car trip except there are rules and goblins and rules goblins
Players: Are we there yet?
DM: (frantically drawing out maps on the spot) I honestly don’t know
Player 1: I’m hungry!
Player 2: I have to go to the bathroom!
DM: But I - … But we’re in the middle of combat!
Player 3: She won’t stop hitting me!
Player 4: (won’t stop hitting Player 3) Heh-heh-heh…
DM: DON’T MAKE ME TURN THIS CAMPAIGN AROUND!
Well it’s probably cursed
When you Crit Fail your Arcana roll and the GM says “It seems harmless”
That’s why you gotta put dummy items that make the players think are cursed so they fall for the real ones

When writing D&D adventures, if I’m stuck on how to write what’s in my head I’ll mark that it’s a work in progress so that when I come back to it later I can try to fill in the gaps. It
plot twist: the introverted character who doesn’t like big social gatherings or speaking in front of people is still an introvert by the end of the story because introversion is not a character flaw and it doesn’t need to be overcome
Look, I’ll go on your stupid adventure, but you better leave me the fuck alone when we get back.
Bilbo Baggins.
NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE HE WAS SO INTROVERTED HE USED A CURSED OBJECT TO GET AWAY FROM PEOPLE
that’s the best example
I hate it. Bad post. Horrible. Have a terrible day
I love it. Great post. Fantastic. Have a wonderful day
could a priest bless the water in a vampires body and burn them from the inside
A Tibetan Monk blesses the deer that gather around him and someone snaps a picture. Upon viewing the picture they notice a rainbow had appeared.
pretty sure this is the happiest picture I’ve seen in a long time
magic is real
When the Monk multiclasses into Druid
When the Wizard is just extra

My DM once had an enemy Kobold who fought by saying bad jokes like this that would literally deal nonlethal damage. The catch was we couldn’t kill him normally and had to out bad joke him to win. It was great.
