A blog about fun with table top gaming, so ask questions and feel free to tell us stuff we may not know or get wrong. This was created for those who'd like to have updates here on Tumblr about their favorite table top games.

Reblog if you think the girl on the left is just as beautiful as the girl on the right.

[thegladhatter]

Absolutely. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[rollhistory]

OH NOOOOO

[penny-anna]

hot take: 

Gloin is the sexiest dwarf by dwarf standards.

Kili is the sexiest dwarf by elf standards.

Thorin is the sexiest dwarf by human standards

& Bombur is the sexiest dwarf by hobbit standards

[penny-anna]

#ITS TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT #(ALSO THORIN AND KILI BEING ‘UGLY’ BY DWARF STANDARDS IS AMUSING CONTENT)

further take: Kili is straight-up ugly by dwarf standards. Thorin is like, the dwarf equivalent of Benedict Cumberbatch. Some dwarves think he’s an absolutely dreamboat, others think he is super weird looking, there’s very little middle ground.

omg now i’m like. what does this make frodo by hobbit standards

[penny-anna]

by hobbit standards, I’m afraid Frodo is probably. not conventionally attractive at all.

More favourite tabletop RPG tropes:

People cultivating an immunity through exposure to things it should absolutely not be possible to develop an immunity to

Conversely, people dying of things that really shouldn’t be able to kill you because someone rolled very well – or perhaps very poorly!

Extremely valuable loot in an incredibly inconvenient form

Elaborate bullshit explanations for why your character knows something they couldn’t possibly know because you don’t want to cop to using OOC knowledge

The coincidental arrival of that one NPC who just happens to have the exact skill-set and resources that are required to get the plot moving

Things that look like other things for no sensible reason

Big gnarly monsters with sophisticated vocabularies and incongruously comprehensive knowledge of current events, especially if it’s something you wouldn’t ordinarily expect to be able to have a chat with

Stabbing, stealing, and/or seducing abstract concepts (not necessarily in that order)

[emmsiicool]

We have not started the campaign yet but I am 100% certain how things are going to go.

[tabletoprpg]

I keep forgetting to post here...

But on Fridays, Saturdays, and some Sundays I stream tabletop games on my twitch. We play on the Roll20 website. Twitch: DavisCD

As someone who’s reported alt-right harassment and rhetoric on various social media sites and been told “there’s nothing here that violates our TOS,” seeing what RPGnet is doing is a welcome breath of fresh air.

Please, more social media sites need to do this.

“It’s a spider. A big fucking spider. Size category: fuck.”

— Our DM describing the approximate size of a spider

[sockablock]

Universal experiences that prove why D&D is both the best and worst game ever:

“Make a stealth check.” “45.” “Your character just stops existing.”

“Now he’s gonna attack you, and—aw, fuck!” “Did you roll a nat—“ “I rolled a nat 1.”

“That’s 34 points of damage.” “I’m dead.” “You’re not dead—“

“I’m gonna cast [every AoE spell ever] on that guy.” “Hey! I’m standing right next to him!” “You’ve got a lot of HP, you’ll be fine.”

“I’m not sure you can do tha—“ “Nat 20.” “…you do that, I guess.”

“Wait, can I go ask [enemy NPC] for info?” “No, you killed him. He’s super-dead! His blood is everywhere, he’s not talking.”

“Make a persuasion check.” “Well I rolled a 2, but with my modifier it’s a 25.” “Nobody is allowed to play a bard next campaign.”

“You’re not proficient in that.” “Can I still try?” “…sure.”

“Come on guys, you almost had it.” “It’s been 45 minutes. Can you just tell us the answer?” “No. I believe in you. Now solve my puzzle.”

And, of course, the greatest one of all:

“…[heavy sigh]. Roll for seduction.”

(After defeating a monster living In the sewers at the request of the town’s guard) Barbarian: We should make it look like that it wasn’t too easy… Ranger: Ok. Punch me in the face!

A faerie introduces himself. Then, holding out a hand, asks, “And your name, please?”

And, like a fool, you give it to him.

[monstersdownthepath]

I got asked for clarification on this (but can’t reblog that particular post cuz on mobile), which I’m more than happy to provide.

In this post, a faerie is asking for ‘your’ name. The way he is wording it, however, and the accompanying beckoning motion, makes it seem as though he is asking for you to physically hand your name over. Which, because of how some faeries operate, he is.

In this instance, saying your name aloud to the fae would be literally giving your name over to him, the exact consequences of which are left up to the imagination–usually, a fae even knowing your name gives it some measure of power over you, but giving something your name would likely let it completely take over your life.

In this instance, the wording you want to use is something like “I will not give you my name, but I will tell you that it’s [name].” Alternately, you can just lie to him.

[ayellowbirds]

Might i suggest the less direct yet still name-preserving “you may call me…”? It dodges the request while still giving an answer of a name, which does not even have to be yours, but any name you feel like telling the fae they can use to refer to you. I would recommend “Ainsel”.

Glad Tumblr is still dispensing useful real-life tips

[homebeccer]

the Big Bad of our campaign is an evil snake lady so our rogue was brainstorming ideas to kill her and came up with:

Cutting off her arms so she would revert to a harmless garden snake

Having our Druid morph into a mongoose and fight her, like nature intended

Dropping food in her path so that her tail grows too long and she runs into it and gets a game over

[cupcakecreeper]

All my plans are good???
