The best way to piss off your DM

Is to wait until they tell you that it's impossible to make friends with all the Intellect Devourers you are in combat with,

and then cast Mass Suggestion to make them your friends for 24 hours.

But make it like, a daily cycle

Today's D&D and DM pro tip.

Give two of your players voodoo dolls of themselves that will stop at nothing to escape and do *something*.

You don't have to tell them what it is. You don't even have to give reason. Just watch them squirm and freak out.

A good way to fill 30-45 minutes.

Be me, humble Barbarian, desperate for a whirlwind summer romance

Except we're playing Eve of Ruin and Mordenkainen doesn't want to romance me :'(

My DM used to be a part of an underground D&D ring.

It was held in a Baptist church and run by the Pastor, who notoriously loves Dungeons and Dragons and video games.

They had to do it in secret, because several of the older church members, 70+, weren't about that life.

I never knew churches could be so metal.

When is doubt, sleep with your friend's mom.

In D&D, of course.

I will now be naming all of my towns after franchises.

Enjoy the town of Coldstone, where their biggest export is frozen confections.

The city of Outback, where their cattle is the finest in the desert land.

Or how about the village of Chick, and its sister towns Fill and A.

The possibilities are endless and the jokes write themselves.

Our DM gave us a shared bag of holding.

It's called the "Bag of Sharing" and we each got a fanny pack type bag that meets the big one that one of us carries. So all of our items and supplies can get shared.

Today, one of our party members stored a martini in her bag, and another party member dipped his hand in it.

10/10 Magic Item

D&D tip - Chaotic Neutral is NOT an excuse for you to do whatever you want. You cannot set people on fire because you are Chaotic Neutral and it's fun - You WILL face the consequences of your actions.

Chaotic stupid.

Fan fiction writing was my gate-way into getting comfortable enough with writing my own original stories and it's still something I am very happy I did.

I'm honestly baffled that there are still people who regard fan fiction writing as 'not proper' writing or not 'real' writing because, honest to God, writing fan fiction has been the most creatively liberating experience for me.

Fan fiction is the most creatively free genre in existance in terms of writing, even though you work within established lore and established characters, but your every fan fic author will write those characters a little differently, will see those characters a little differently and will make those character their own. Also, and that's the best part, there's no word limits, I can include pages and pages of dialogues, no one can ever tell me my fic is too long because I don't care. It's so wonderful and so much fun to write. You don't write with expected audience in mind, because it's fan fiction, it's free and there's no expectations, you write for yourself.

And yes, I totally agree that writing fan fiction and turning them into novels will always be shit, because fan fiction work within very particular parameters like the fact that the characters are already largely established and beloved to the reader, and that will never ever have the same effect in novels.

But! Fan fiction is real writing. It's like a hybrid between novels and television writing, what's not to love?

My personal best writing ambience is either zombie apocalypse sounds, or post-nuclear winter sounds and idfk know why but it works.

Do you all have any weird writing habits?

If so tell me, I'd like to feel better about my own.

She'd still wish to be as cool as me 😎

“I shall grant you and your sister one wish each, but think carefully on your wish, for you won’t get another.” “I wish for my sister to know the wisest thing to wish for.”

I feel like my players have said this to me about my puzzles.

His name is Steve™

Two lovers have reincarnated throughout history, destined to find each other and fall in love all over again. There’s also this third guy that reincarnates alongside them… we don’t really know what he does.

Be me, trying to explain a problem I'm having whilst writing a contemporary romance, because I've never written something without magic, or dragons, or swords in my entire life.

Enter, my Husband, trying to convince me to make the Love Interest the one who killed the Main Character's parents...

Not a D&D post but somewhat related - but why is just about every writing platform online that's not Wattpad, Quotev or Fanfiction.net pay-to-read or based on NFT's?

Like seriously, the amount of times I look at other websites, to join new communities or see what other people are doing, it's all locked behind stupid NFT's or credit based systems that don't actually pay back to the author, but the website instead.
