@TheSheDM is at Kumoricon!

This is basically what teaching D&D to new folks feels like all the time. I love it

@paperrealms That look great! What an awesome way to repurpose my design without even needing a 3d printer! That's amazing, I love it 🫶

I’m running a game for the first time in years and I’m a little nervous. It’ll be a Keys from the Golden Vault heist. I’m making some #dnd5e #papercraft ephemera that I’ll mail to my nephews to get the game going. This was made from one of the cool 3D printable keys by @TheSheDM

@TrashMobMinis Oh dang, wish I had bumped into you!

@RealGreyMage I run a monthly DM workshop at my FLGS and a lot of new DMs gloss over or really don't fully comprehend what exactly a Session Zero is supposed to accomplish outside of 'make characters' and 'do you allow homebrew?'

I'm running a DM workshop later today. For those experienced DMs out there, what advice would you share to new DMs? I'll pick a few of the best ones to share with the group. #dnd #ttrpg #ttrpgs #ttrpgcommunity #pathfinder

@Mrsande39670135 @DiceQueenDi "minions" was as in the minions working for the bad guys. Low powered mobs that helped a battle feel more threatening and impressive, without absolutely obliterating the challenge rating and without being time-consuming to run. Minions usually had simple move sets

@DiceQueenDi Wait, so if I were a LVL. 11 PC I could have a mindflayer as a sidekick? How does that work?

whenever i hear "dnd 4e is bad lmao" i just hear "i don't know anything about game design and i've heard this line memed to death"

@XPtoLevel3 @oneshotquesters Is it exploiting if it's with consent? They made it part of their Session Zero, that's like the whole purpose of having one. If you're joining an Actual Play, which is for views, then isn't it good the DM is discussing in advance on how they plan to handle it?

@oneshotquesters yeah me personally, I love to exploit my players reactions for views. YIKES

what's a ruling you've seen a DM make that made you want to leave the table?

@Anthony_GrAviTy @oneshotquesters @XPtoLevel3 Also isn't that the whole point of doing it in a session zero? Here's how I plan to handle this, are you ok with that? If no, either we discuss a compromise or you bow out before the campaign begins. And it being for an Actual Plan makes even more sense to bring it up.

@oneshotquesters @XPtoLevel3 That seems phrased callously but like why would they need to talk to you before they kill your character? They just die because that’s how the situation turned out.

Goji inspected my convention supplies, certified ready for #Kumoricon!

In honor of Laika Day, sharing this beautiful comic about the goodest dog ever 🚀🐕 by @Secondlina tumblr.com/secondlina/727…

I just finished adding up all the payments+cash and am proud to announce we raised $503 for Toy & Joy Makers! Not bad for a couple hours of rolling dice and fightin' dragons! Thank you everyone that donated!!

@jamesjhaeck I don't remember(ha!) the name of the monster I used, but it was an undead monster that had an attack that caused memory loss that I simply expanded into an entire False Hydra theme set. It could have easily been an actual FH, but the undead fit my campaign better at the time.

@jamesjhaeck They of course realized then whatever had happened to the villagers had just happened to the cleric. There at last, we moved onto the final confrontation as the monsters converged on the village's Meeting Hall.

Can someone who loves the False Hydra tell me why they like it so much? It seems like such an agency-removing, GM power-tripping concept. Like, a really cool concept for a novel or a movie but I just can't see it working in a game.
