DM Tip - The constraints of D&D skill checks are not limited to 5e. Have them make a "Clumsy" check, or a "Clown" check or even a "Chaos" check. The only limits are the ones you put on yourself.

My Mid-2024 Resolution - To learn how to fucking do accents. To do something other than Vaguely British ™ and Southern Neighbour ™ and actually be good at it.

DM Tip - Consequences.

Really that's the end of the sentence, but if you want further elaboration - Let your players see the fruits of their decisions come to fruition.

Let them see that village burn down because they didn't stop the evil Lord in time.

Have an ancient evil rise from the abyss that they ignored the call of for the longest time (I'm lookin' at you, Mighty Nein).

Even something as small as that tiny rabbit whose family you killed? They spend the next ten years training to kill your entire party in a revenge quest (Maybe not simple, but really cool)

Idk man, be an asshole.

DM Tip - Once again, in order to get players to hear you, you must shake your keys in front of their face and play subway surfers in the background. Maybe then they'll listen to the backstory....

DM Tip - You can try to punish your players for their Murder-hobo actions, and I do encourage it... But it might not work. Most of the time actually. They still haven't learned.

ALL HAIL THE KING OF THE STRING WORMS. BOW BEFORE ME

Your superpower is that you can conjure anything in your palm provided it only costs a dollar or less. You have been relentlessly mocked for having such a useless power until you realize just how usefull it can be

DM Tip - You can try to make scary monsters all you like - there will always be one player to call it "Cute" or "Kinda fit though" and there's nothing you can do about it.

All hail the beach episode. Gone but not forgotten.

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

Life is a lot like D&D - in which that angsty guy in all black in the back of the room is *Probably* someone you don't wanna talk to.

"I hope so - you don't have many friends." - Husband immediately after.

Marrying a DM as a DM is nothing short of a swirling vortex of sharing ideas and stealing ideas from each other's Pinterest boards.
