Dungeons & Dragons memes: Bards are ineffectual dandies who try to fuck everything that moves.
D&D players: That’s a gross and annoying stereotype that maligns a useful character class and encourages bad behaviour at the table.
D&D memes: Wizards are gleefully amoral meddlers in forces they don’t understand and a greater danger to their friends than the monsters they fight.
D&D players: No, that one’s accurate.

There were once three brothers who desired the same woman. Each of the brothers wanted to win her heart, so each of them went out and found a gift.
The first brother presented a bundle of rare flowers. “I saw these and thought of you, as you are both beautiful.”
But the woman turned him down. “You are most flattering, but beauty is fleeting. These flowers will not remain beautiful forever, and nor shall I. That you thought first of my beauty is telling, and you would not make a good husband.”
The second brother presented a fresh kill. “I have slain this beast as proof of my prowess. So long as you are my wife, you shall not want for food or warm pelts.”
But the woman turned him down. “You are indeed skilled, but there is pride in your heart. That you thought first of me as a possession is telling, and you would not make a good husband.”
The third brother presented a knife. “I made this for you. It is simple and unadorned, but I can vouch for its edge. It is a tool and a promise. You can use it to defend yourself, and I ever become a threat, then I can only blame myself.”
The woman, nodding, accepted his gift. “You are humble, and acknowledge that things may change between us. That you give me the means to succeed, come what may, is telling, and you would make a good husband.”
She married the third brother, and for the time they remained together, they had more good times than bad, until they parted amicably.

Before I even post anything, you can find their work here on Etsy and here on Twitter.
Now, formalities aside, I am upset.
The dice maker has admitted that these cursed monstrosities were made largely as a test of skill, as the macaronis, beans, and spaghettios are all polymer clay and so forth.
They still cursed, tho.
Confession: I'd totally use the spaghetti o's ones.
Ewwww 😂

I’M TRYING TO PROVE A POINT TO MY MOTHER!! HELP!!
So very rarely do i post but this is making me crazy!
My Mom Loves all things fantasy and S-Fi and and thinks it is so totally awesome that I am a Dungeon Master.
I have asked her multiple time if she wanted to play but she always comes up with some excuse to not play but will sit nearby fascinated by the game.
She finally admitted to me today that she thinks that at 57 she is “Too Old” to play even though she loves it.
PLEASE RE-BLOG THIS AS MANY TIME AS POSSIBLE TO HELP ME PROVE TO HER THAT SHE IS ALLOWED TO PLAY NO MATTER HER AGE!!!

How Hard Is Too Hard? - Balancing encounters in D&D 5E
Hullo, gentle readers! Our Question from a Denizen this week comes from gerrithemouse. Gerri says, “Hello, mate! I stumbled across your blog at the perfect time!! I’m trying to start a campaign with my friend group and your blog has some great DM advice! One thing I couldn’t find, though, is advice on building an encounter. Obviously everyone will be starting at level 1, but I don’t really know what types of enemies to use or how to balance combat with 4 ish players. Any tips? :D”
So first off, glad you found us at the right time. The good news is that there’s plenty of advice to be had on creating encounters.
Your first stop should be the Dungeon Master’s Guide, which has a big section in Chapter Three called “Creating Encounters”. In there, you will find the mathematical formula for balancing a group encounter. Since it’s based on 3-5 player characters, your group of 4 should be perfect for using the math in there.
The rough idea is that you have a budget of XPs for any given encounter based on the level of the characters. At level 1, with four players, an Easy encounter should be worth about 100 XP, a Medium encounter should be worth about 200 XP, a Hard encounter should be worth about 300 XP, and a Deadly encounter should be worth about 400 XP.
Now, this seems like it should be easy. Just figure out how many XPs you want to throw at a party, put together monsters worth that many XPs, and then you’re good, right? Well, no…because this method also takes into account the fact that multiple monsters put together are more dangerous than a single monster. Frankly, it’s a bit convoluted, and I don’t want to just regurgitate what’s already there for you to read. If you don’t have the DMG (and you really should), the same info can be found in the Basic Rules. Make sure you specifically look at the game’s definitions of those four difficulty levels of encounters and the idea of what the PCs can handle on a daily basis.
If you’re like me, and that kind of math starts to give you the heebee-jeebies, you’ll be glad to know that someone’s already done the math for you and made a super-helpful website to take the anguish out of it. I can strongly recommend Kobold Fight Club, found at https://kobold.club. It lets you plug in number and level of player characters, then add monsters to build an encounter. If you’re using monsters not in the Fight Club’s database, just plug in other critters of a similar Challenge Rating to get the website’s advice on difficulty.
Note that this isn’t a perfect method, and there’s an alternative method in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything that I like as well…but I won’t talk about that here, because that’s not part of the basic rules. Also, bear in mind the warning about pitting monsters over your player characters’ levels against them. Some of those Challenge Ratings are put there to warn you not to put that monster against characters under its level. As the DMG warns, even though an ogre is only Challenge Rating 2, it can outright kill a level 1 wizard with a single blow. Look those things over when you’re thinking you want to throw an especially powerful monster against your PCs.
I hope this advice helps, Gerri. I also strongly recommend reading the advice in the DMG that leads up to the math part, because it has really good story-based advice for encounter building that I haven’t even touched on here.
OK everyone, female creatives need your help again! Gametee have made and designed a Wallet of Holding that is now funding on Kickstarter.
These ladies designed everything from scratch and are entirely independent. If you can’t pledge for one of these beautiful wallets please reblog and signal boost and let the community know you actively support small, creative-run family businesses, because Gametee really appreciates it and is relying on word-of-mouth to get their product out there!

Not for Shadowrun but cool idea to have a handy character pack to run around with.
I freaking need it!
D&D was emotional this past Monday. My scourge aasimar-turned-Fire genasi became strangely attached to a god’s Simulacrum, started calling him Sammy, and then made a deal with a chaos god in order to keep him, just for him to like die 5 minutes later lol
Life’s rough
