Carl graced us with his feline presence again for another very spirited game of @bloodontheclocktower.com. Is there a team more diabolical than Carl + Rhydings (@hitlistvideo.bsky.social)? See what happened: youtu.be/bOLYmgplnB8

I was a huge fan of the first 5e starter set, “Lost Mine of Phandelver.” I used that set so many times! Very curious to see how the new one stacks up! Stay tuned!

Just got Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons by @ravensburgertcg.bsky.social to the table and brought the smackdown on a displacer beast and beholder. Had a close call when Volo wandered up to the beholder, but we managed to save him with the help of Laeral Silverhand. Video review coming soon!

Art of a dark purple medieval-style beret with a colorful feather sticking out of it. There's a subtle black swirl effect around it that gives it a slightly foreboding aura. Unremarkable Hat (5e) Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement) This hat has an aura of forgettability around it. It doesn’t stand out in any way. It’s bland, boring, perfect for going unnoticed. While you wear this hat, people won’t notice you as long as you don’t draw attention to yourself or engage in social interactions like a lengthy conversation—meaningless pleasantries like simple greetings don’t count. Creatures who don’t notice you make attempts to recall your presence or your identity with disadvantage.

Creatures who don’t notice you take a –4 item penalty to Perception checks to recognize your identity in the moment and to Recall Knowledge checks to remember your presence within the next day. Recall Knowledge checks beyond one day automatically fail.

When two different creatures each wearing one of the linked bracelets are within 60 feet of each other, they instantly learn each other’s true names and perceive each other’s appearances as though they have Truesight. They can prevent this effect by succeeding on a DC 25 Wisdom saving throw, suppressing the bracelets’ ability until dawn of the next day. The other wearer learns the successful save occurred but not who made it.
