What takeout dinner would pair best with the Cloudward, Ho finale? I'm thinking maybe noodles or a burrito... #dimension20

One of my biggest weaknesses as a GM is running combat. I constantly forget tactics and rules, and I feel harried referencing stat blocks - ultimately my fights are probably too easy on the players. That said I’m really only now understanding this about myself so it gives me something to work on!

Owing to a brilliant suggestion in a guide video for the Call of Cthulhu scenario I ran yesterday - we made the crucial NPC of the module into a player character and it worked out extremely well. Felt like a fresh and exciting take that I’ll definitely consider again for the next one shot I run.

Just wrapped up this went SO WELL. 😮💨 really fun time with this system! Loved the focus on investigation, lore and exploration. Oh and the horror of it all. Perfect for spooky season. Anyway I’m going to go have some tea and decompress
Running my first game of Call of Cthulhu tomorrow. Excited to unleash a little Eldritch chaos.

In my first D&D group there was a guy who was building a custom gaming table. He'd show us pictures of it and tell us how proud he was of how it was turning out. He never invited us to play on it.
D&D people are weird, bro.

I bought a bass guitar this week largely on impulse and…I’m feeling this vibe!
to be honest I've always found it kinda fun to end up being a little bit crappy at whatever I try to do... Takes a lot of pressure off, and I feel like everyone can tell when you're doing something just for the love of the game

Ok ok, after two more rewatches I will cop to this opinion being rash…but their two songs are bangers.
Hot take: The Saja Boys songs were better 😬

At the end of the last session our party finds itself mostly incapacitated and trapped in a realm of demons. The DM asked us to roll up some demon characters to play in the meantime and I had an idea…

I went to get my car washed and when they were cleaning the radio they tuned it to a station that plays 2000's Nu Metal. And after listening to banger after banger from my youth I realized that I totally had a Nu Metal phase in college. These songs are great! No no, they are amazing.

So I thought I was being sneaky drinking lentil soup from a coffee mug during my last zoom meeting but then halfway through I realized how psychotic I must look chewing after every sip. 😑

If I’m being honest I knew it was going to be a shitty year when Hbomberguy didn’t release a video last December.

Work demands some after hours attention but what I wouldn't give to be playing DAI or prepping my Call of Cthulhu one shot right about now...

I’m about 10 hours into DA: Inquisition and I’m in love with this setting and lore. I do have two hot takes though: 1) “Dragon Age” while metal as heck, is not a fitting title for the series. The name should instead be reflective of the conflict between the Mages and Templars as that is at the core.

For me, the haters were wrong. I thought Dragon Age 2 was really fun 🤷. I’m even more interested in playing Veilgiard now :P but first I have some DLC to play and then it’s on to Inquisition.

Currently playing through the Dragon Age games for the first time. Started with Origins and thought it was great if a little dated mechanics-wise. I was told to not look forward to DA2 but I'll tell you what. It's got its hooks into me. I'm really enjoying it.

Sometimes during a D&D session I’ll get an idea in my head that I think is funny and will spend too much time photoshopping an image to post to Discord. My DM just labeled them “High-effort shitposts” and you know…..fair.

Talking with you DM about your character's fears and motivations feels like talking to a good friend or a therapist....except with the expectation that they will use this information against you down the line in hilarious ways.

Playing an evil character one shot today. I don't like it so much :P
I don't have fun being a jerk, even in my video and tabletop games. I need everyone to like me (GTA excepted)

Maybe it's a hot take but I don't like rolling digital dice - not satisfying.
Hotter take? I really really dislike it when the DM auto rolls initiative on a VTT.
