Well I got excited to write my first full #dnd 5E class and then I literally fell through a baby gate and the stair railing (bottom of the stairs thankfully). So we're off to a good start 😂

My warnings against bringing #dnd characters from home are getting increasingly dire and mean for our local nerd events
I include contact info & folks are welcome to work w/me to make a PC. But inevitably someone rolls up with a PC at the wrong level, built incorrectly with implausible magic items

On today's weird dream theater: I infiltrated some kind of academic campus to assassinate an evil professor with an enchanted golden axe. I ducked into a classroom to avoid detection. The Junior Prof who was probably a certain TTRPG/literary scholar did not betray my presence ⬇️

I love that it's not just a stylistic parody but actually captures some of that @themountaingoats.bsky.social lyrical energy

So many of these movies were foundational for me but Howl's Moving Castle is one I still put on to go to bed to all the time. I'm even slowly working on my super weird narrative map making game about wandering sentient buildings 😅

My d20 dev style is very much shaped by the transition from Pathfinder 1E to D&D 5E. I find both systems very satisfying for almost completely opposite reasons and I love when I can find that space in between that takes a complex idea and implements it simply and evocatively

Haha whoops. When making a new kind of ramen at home you should identify all ingredients before just dumping them into the bowl. Added two whole packets of some kind of chili sauce 😅🔥🤯

Time for some 💿🐴 on Social Mechanics! As a player & a GM I like having not just the options for both freeform RP and social mechanics but the ability to let the two influence each other and be in conversation ⬇️

Most #dnd deities would have not just clerics but also warlocks, paladins, druids and bards as clergy. And probably most other classes in their service in one way or another

I see The Quiet Year on everyone's want to play list for next year. I think it's because everyone is hyped for it but isn't sure when/where to play it
I've given up on it happening organically and I'm planning to do a special long one shot on a Saturday afternoon/evening to play it

Oo just realized what it is
"Irregular at Magic High School" reminds me of "Starship Troopers"
It's really fascinating world building & aesthetic sitting over a vision of the world that is nationalistic & immoral at its core. And our entry point is teen soldiers drawn into conflict & ideology

Weird #StrangerThings tangent. Being a bit younger than that era makes me realize that I probably lived through the death of the true Kids on Bikes era. Suburban development was big and everyone moved out of the denser downtown where you could ride your bike from neighborhood to neighborhood

Considering trying to talk my Thursday night crew into doing this...

Quick glance makes me think I'm clear. My concept is that the campaign starts as 2 distinct threads. The real world is #KidsonBikes, teens navigating life and playing games together. The "game" world is #dnd. Separate PCs. Sometimes the "game" gets interrupted by "real life," kicking back out to KoB
Have a fun #StrangerThings inspired idea for a hybrid #dnd / #kidsonbikes campaign but I need to actually read my Die RPG book because it might literally already do exactly what I'm thinking of 😅
