I've been talking about the OGL over on the clock app, if yall have questions I kind of have answers!

Clever alternative commands for the command spell:

+ Surrender

+ Disrobe (hopefully take off some magic items)

+ Ragdoll

+ Vomit

+ Unfocus (perhaps dropping concentration)

+ Dismiss (an alternative to unfocus, potentially end a spell or other ongoing effect)

+ Spin (perhaps make them dizzy/nauseous)

+ Pose (okay, this one is just for humiliation)

+ Help (actually very useful if you can combine it with a gesture or common sense connection to indicate something another player is about to do)

+ Flank (again, useful for giving another player advantage of you use flanking rules).

+ Disregard (could possibly equate willful blindness, could be useful if you want the target to not be able to identify another creature passig by)

+ Flip (either they're dexterous and can perform a flip, in which case that's dope, or they fall flat on their face and they're prone)

+ Dismount (good for mounted enemies)

+ Fluster (useful in social encounters)

+ Miss (if you want to make someone look like they're betraying allies by going easy on you)

+ Look (can use to direct their attention to things that they are avoiding, like a hypnotic pattern)

+ Fail (set them up for another oncoming save, though this is less useful than it sounds because they carry the action out on their turn. So unless it's a save on their turn and the effect in question isn't "harmful"... although this could be very useful for preventing further use of legendary resistances or to make the most out of a spell like power word stun).

here is my one bit of wisdom as a 32 year old with no interest in being a "fandom elder" or "community mom" or whatever -

if someone a little older in your friend group takes care of things and has good advice to offer and whatever, and you all sometimes joke abt them being the mom friend, that's fine and normal

if someone self declares themselves as the mom friend, and begins to act like that is a role with actual authority, Fucking Run

Getting into D&D be like:

Some forget, some never knew, and some fall down weird YouTube rabbit holes and learn about this stuff in the meantime a bit before Twitter implodes.

TIL In 1926 the famous pianist Fats Waller (then 21) was kidnapped by Al Capone’s gang to play piano for his birthday. He basically went missing for 3 days and was returned unharmed but drunk.

Updates

I’m openly and actively preparing for the twitpocolypse. 

Since I was last here...

Another Path, my dnd actual play podcast, has been going strong. Near the 5th year anniversary we had a new campaign start up, and we are still early on if you want to check it out!

I’m also a player on Imprinted Echoes, a Cypher system podcast set in the far flung future of Numenera. Check it out if you like actual plays, but prefer something with a bit of a sci-fi bent (or are looking for something a bit more family friendly.

These (and other shows) have spawned out into a full network, Ghostlight Media, A podcast network that celebrates theater, gaming, and the union between!

You’re teleported to 44 BCE Rome in your everyday street clothes. You’re brought before Caesar and he believes you might be from the future, hoping to bring him fortune. One day he questions you, asking “How Do I Die?”

I mentioned a while back that I am running a D&D actual play podcast. If you are intirested, but aren't sure about listening to our 18 show backlog, give this a listen. It's an in character overview of the last 18 episodes, and clocking in at just under 10 minutes it's 100% worth a listen!

Somehow I haven't mentioned this here, but I started a podcast a while back. Another Path is an actual play 5E D&D podcast where I run three friends though a homebrew world. We have 13 episodes (and 1 bonus ep) , but the one I linked (6.5) is a great place to jump in!
