He/Him. I'm just here to make sure no one takes my name.
One time, I went around giving all the D&D players Eldritch blast. Until they told me to stop patronizing them.

Bad Magic Item Idea: Ring of Perceived Invisibility
The wearer believes they are invisible and acts accordingly. This is so socially awkward that everyone ignores the wearer out of embarrassment granting them "perceived invisibility" until they attack or steal anything too valuable to ignore.

My critical GMing advice I've not repeated on this social yet...
'Hold off from speaking for 4 beats longer that you are comfortable with... because a player will likely fill the void with something better.'
You don't want to miss that gold by rushing in to fill the gap!

Wizard: Am...am I dead?
Death: Yes.
Wizard: For good?
Death: This time.
Wizard:...What’s next?
Death: The truth.
Wizard: Then show me.
Death: You are nothing but a piece of paper with numbers and rough sketches of penises and swords on it.
Wizard: Yeah, that tracks.

I'm cooking up a concept for a fantasy realms god. The core is a god of devotion who empowers the overlooked devotees of other gods. Extremely loyal to Tyr or Lolth but no answered prayers or spells? This god sneaks in and empowers them while feeding off their devotion like a parasite.

Random thought, but why aren't Warlocks portrayed as LAWFUL aligned more often?
Like their whole thing is contractual magic.
How you out here in these streets being chaotic when every spell you use has Terms and Conditions?
You're literally the person who reads the EULA for loopholes.

I think a great tip for DMs who are running low-level encounters in 5e is that the shove and grapple actions are *very* dangerous when they’re used by a lot of enemies.
Suddenly the group of 7 bandits is a lot scarier…
