Okay, so: Brave Little Toaster inspired #TTRPG One Shot. What sentient item - magical or mundane - is your #Mimic PC choosing as their default persona, what's their class & why? 😜
#DnD Mundane items that equate to a mediul sized creature or smaller only.

New D&D Starter Set Review is finally up! And it SLAPS! 😅
I was surprised with this one given WOTC's recent track record.
As someone who had zero physical props before buying this, I think it actually worked out pretty well!

Real Life Hunter's Mark 😆. Rangers ready for their glow up 🌟🤩 (reflective spray for those who don't have Darkvision on the roads). I wonder what other fantasy / sci-fi twists we could add to the #DnD beast stat blocks to make em more interesting, especially for #5e rangers?

I was shocked to see how many #GenCon fans recognized Zardoz! Not too many ppl know that #Waterdeep Dragon Heist has an NPC named Zardoz Zord who is inspired by Sean Connery's esoteric space pirate :P
It was priceless seeing people's eye light up with recognition, even more than my Gale cosplay! 😅
