i am a slut for "thing that was a silly joke in the beginning of the story is later recontextualized as actually kind of fucked up" . especially when its a longrunning series and you can tell its a product of the author re-assessing the writing of their younger self. chefs kiss.

The Adventure Zone revealing why Davenport can only say his own name

My friend sometimes brings her six-year-old to our DnD sessions and my husband (the DM) lets her roll for all enemy attacks and sometimes he will show her a few figures and let her secretly pick what creature we meet next. Who needs encounter tables when you have a first-grader around

She cheers when the monster is winning.

I am in 3 different dnd campaigns rn and the amount of times I've started using the wrong character voice is crazy like:

My aristocratic femme barbarian, raging for the first time since i started playing in my other campaign: starts talking like my jersey mobster fighter and cursing like a sailor like he does.

playing dnd with my dads cishet friends blows because theyre way too into combat mechanics and dont understand that youre supposed to be having fun but on the other hand i play giant nonbinary firbolg necromancer named pickles mcburgersson who has orange hair and keeps resurrecting the enemies we kill and then gives them therapy and its baffling to all of these forty something men who have never actually had fun playing dnd

Is the campaign still going? If not, how did Pickles Mcburgersson’s story end?

We used paper cutouts glued to toothpicks and stabbed into erasers, but I like this idea better.

inbabylontheywept

For a college game, I used an entire box of candy canes as a size colossal monstrous zombie grasshopper, and then when it died I ripped the box open and used the candy canes as size large monstrous parasitic horsehair worms erupting from its corpse. Nobody actually wanted to eat them after that so I took them home and ground them into a powder with a pestle, intending to add it to my hot cocoas. But I didn’t wash the pestle very well last time after using it to crush garlic and chilis, so I accidentally made chili-garlic-mint powder and then I tried serving that cocoa at a later D&D sesh, and we were all baffled at why it tasted so horrible until I was like oh my god it’s the ground up zombie ass worms. I contaminated them with garlic and chilis. And the group was like YOU GROUND UP THE ZOMBIE ASS WORMS AND FED THEM TO US which seemed like a lot of fuss over what would have otherwise been free and delicious cocoa. Then after that before taking any snacks they’d ask did you perchance put any zombie ass chili-garlic worm powder in this?, and then refuse to eat until I said None.

Which they thought was very funny, even if I was slightly less amused, but I bided my time until they got tired of the joke and stopped specifically asking. Then I poured all the remaining zombie ass chili-garlic worm powder into a bag of party mix. The first guy to take a bite spluttered, and I laughed, and everyone said WHAT DID BABS DO, and I said THE WOOOORMS… YOU FORGOT TO ASK… OHMYGOD… and then I laughed so hard I actually cried. Derailed the start time almost an hour.

Oh that was a wonderful day.

I was about to reblog this, and then I saw the picture and I got the joke, in that order.

like this is just what a normal D&D session is like

If I hadn’t seen this caption I literally would never have gotten the joke. This is just a perfect representation of a normal D&D session.

With 7 players? This is going incredibly well.

Angus: looks into the camera like he’s on the office

based on this super hilarious text post-trying to combat the sads from the new eps with some laughs

keplercryptids

[image description: a two-panel comic. Angus, a small boy with dark brown skin, curly dark brown hair pushed back with a headband, and round glasses is sitting on the floor. He’s holding up a wand, a book open nearby. A spell is fizzling out in his open hand and he looks annoyed as he says, “Oh, darn!” Magnus, a muscular man with brown skin, brown hair in a short ponytail and thick sideburns. He’s wearing a blue tank with stars on it, and a large moon on the front with the words “Dogs On (cut off, but presumably “the moon”). He’s pointing angrily and saying, “Hey! Who the fuck taught you to swear.” Taako and Merle are poking up in the background. Taako says, “Angus what the fuck” and Merle is giving a thumb’s up and says, “Hell yeah kid!”]

now ik this was a goof but ..

the pine guard! 🌲

this is one of my favourite scenes in all of Taz and i've wanted to draw something for it for ages now but then this took almost 6 months to finish because i had to keep stopping to figure out character designs aaaaaaaaaa

Indrid Cold my favourite guy of all time

Image description: A two page digital comic depicting a scene from The Adventure Zone – Amnesty where the player characters (Duck, Ned and Aubrey) meet Indrid Cold (the mothman.) The entire comic is drawn in shades of red with yellow highlights. Page 1: A smaller panel shows the interior of a camper van, with Indrid cast in shadows, reaching towards a scrap of paper on the wall. Behind him, Duck, Ned and Aubrey watch in confusion. The next panel is of Indrid from behind, silhouetted against the bright red of the wall holding dozens of pinned sheets over a map of Kepler. He is holding up the now removed scrap of paper in one hand and smiling, the yellow paper and his glasses standing out against the darkness. There is a yellow speech bubble coming from him that says ‘Okay.’ The last panel takes up most of the page and shows Duck, Ned and Aubrey reacting in shock to Indrid’s statement. The speech bubbles continue: ‘The funicular that connects topside and riverside is about to come crashing down the mountain, slamming into town, and destroying the base station.’. Behind the three players, there is a funicular train climbing a mountain – the full scale of which is shown behind it. Page two: Yellow text in the top left and right corners reads: ‘There are three passengers on it right now, they’ll all be killed- With two circular panels depicting three people on the funicular in one, and a man reading a newspaper in the other – his radio discarded on the table in front of him. Below these panels the text continues, first in yellow with: ‘-and an engineer at the base station will be injured as well, but he’ll pull through.’ And then in two red circular speech bubbles: ‘Good news though! You have six minutes this time.’ The two red speech bubbles surround Indrid as he faces the viewer with a grin, his eyes completely obscured by his red circular glasses. In one hand, he holds out the scrap of paper – a drawing of a funicular train falling down a mountain now visible on it, and behind him the wall is covered in scraps of paper that fade into the darkness of the background.

A couple extra details that nobodies noticed yet that I want to point out for fun

1: The horseshoe over the door for good luck

2: The sketches on Indird's wall in the second panel include drawings of the goatmen, the pine guard surrounding the calamity tree and the fallen screw that accidently releases Thacker in a later episode among other things

3: In the group shot - Duck's eyes are the same colour as Indrid's glasses, because he can also see the future. Abrey's eyes also share a colour with Indrid's, but also are the same colour as the flamebright shard. Ned's eyes aren't visible, but there are stars reflected in the light of his glasses.

4: In the round panels - Juno is drawing a duck in her sketchbook, and the funicular guard has a cup of coffee knocked over, which has spilt all over his radio

5: While not cannon, the sketch Indrid hands them includes Ned's car driving down the mountain. I realised later that this doesn’t make sense since they’re changing the visible future but hey. It was a nice sketch anyway.

6: Most of the comic is drawn normally but the large pannel on page 1, the two circular ones and the page Indrid hands the pine gaurd are all drawn with a ballpoint pen becuase they're Indrid's predictions which he draws out. This is actually also innacurate because in cannon theyre pencil sketches, but hopefully some crimes can be forgiven for the sake of it looking slightly nice (I didn't like how the pencil sketches looked)

this is nothing but it is amusing for me to think about. au where merle is a druid, magnus is a paladin, and taako is a bard. not quite a class swap. more just classes-slightly-to-the-right. that's the whole post

artificer davenport. blood hunter barry? wild magic sorcerer lup. cleric lucretia but instead of a deity she channels her magic either from the light of creation or her faith in her friends. okay now that's the whole post
