I’ve reblogged this before but I will again, because it’s so, so damn important as a DM to remember this.
The world is YOURS. You don’t have to put up with whatever norms everyone expects from games. You want bright, cheerful, happy orc villages? Do it. You want elves and dwarves that get along perfectly well in a harmonious co-existing society? DO IT. You want friendly drow that take pleasure in guiding newcomers in tours through the Underdark? You know the drill by now - DO. IT. You are not bound by the constraints of someone else’s fantasy.
As I often remind my players. I am god, this is my world now, I do what I want.
I was sitting at my desk just a few minutes ago, drawing, and a really loud crack of thunder went off–no power surges or anything, just thunder–and my roomba fled from its dock and started spinning in circles
I currently now have an active roomba sitting quietly on my lap
Playing a homebrew campaign. We’re about to be fighting a boss who is essentially quasi-divine in the sewers bc we just escaped from a prison he runs. I’m playing as an Aarakocra (hawk-person) bard. Our strategy has been to try to push him out of the circles he makes around himself. We are rarely successful.
DM(as the boss): Ok, lets make this interesting *combines blue and green magic circles that protect him from physical and elemental damage around self into one singular silver circle*
DM(ooc): You know, there’s a very simple solution to all this.
Me(ooc): uhh?…. I roll perception
*lands a 16*
DM: You notice the circle is physical
Me: I pick up the circle with both hands to tear it
*rolls for strength*
*lands nat 20*
Me: and as I tear it in half, I yell “THIS BITCH PHYSICAL, YEET!”
DM: The baddie crumples to the ground, disintegrating before your eyes. The last word he hears is “YEET”. He dies a broken man.
I ever tell you guys a story from a few years ago? Somebody came to me with this great idea for an ask blog. But, he had the idea that it’d be interactive, and tons of people would get their art featured. How? Well, when you send in an ask, he sends you a script to draw. Yep! The idea was that people would ask questions, you’d get a script back of your answer, and you’d get featured when you drew his OC answering it.
I told him it was a bad idea, since it screamed of making people doing your work for them. He said I didn’t understand his genius, and I never heard from him again. And I never heard of a blog like that, so I guess it failed.
Go figure.
Is this the guy who demanded you pay him because he told you his idea?
the fictional character kanaya maryam from the webcomic “homestuck” (2009) DEFINITELY was brokenhearted when she went to an earth c arby’s and the WE HAVE THE MEATS guy from the commercials wasn’t there and then proceeded to bodyslam into a table until she got her Roast Beef Half Pound Sandwich (x20)
Which one of you guys convinced boomers we were serious
This joke post made it onto my local news and they can’t tell it’s a meme
