The problem with sharing stories about my game on twitter is that there's so much fog of war and I can't spoil anything.
A murder was committed a year ago and I've been itching to tell the story, but the players never solved it 😭

"Only tourists find such a fundamental part of the game lame and boring" - someone who's never touched a downtime rule
Jun 8
On the "is it ok to give players auto-successes on persuasion rolls for good acting" discourse, everyone is missing one crucial point, which is that skill checks are lame and boring.
If a player says, "I want to search behind the tapestry" and there's a secret door behind the tapestry, am I going to make them roll perception to find it?
If players are presented with a puzzle and one of them works out the answer, should I make them roll an investigation to determine if their character would discover it?
If players have a good argument and they're being reasonable with their request, especially if they're going with it in character to a persuadable NPC, sometimes it's better not to roll that check and just go with your gut

They let me out into the prison yard today, and I’m still plotting against @Gingerblast and @AlysssaHazel like I always do… but a bit less today, because I have a toilet wine hangover.
I’m gonna go benchpress some iron.

The only people capable of really swearing are people who never swear
Popularizing profanity was a mistake and I will die on that hill forever. I’m as potty-mouthed as anybody I know and I try not to put more than 1-2 dirty words in my books at a time on purpose.
Quality over quantity, people.

I talked about this very thing in my podcast today. We need to step up to this plate and keep the system functioning.
When good people avoid jury duty, bad ones get it. And we see how that's been going...

I get called for jury duty too frequently. Used to try to get out of it until I saw some comment that said "our court system is broken because juries are made up of people too dumb to get out of jury duty"
Now I suck it up and do my civic duty when called

First time in a long time I've been roasted for being a theater kid. Normally twitter says I hate roleplay and should just be a wargamer, but pretty neat to be on the other side of the fire for once!

At my table, if you fall just short on an athletics check, you can get a 1 on your roll for every 10 pushups you do because we like to stay fit 💪
The only problem with this argument is that it only ever considered the mental skills and skill checks. D&D is about living a fantasy and if you want to be a tough barbarian, it would be weird to have the DM ask you to go life a boulder. Or the rogue doing flips at the table.

Recap Thread for Grand Theft Lego saga.
Here is an easy thread to get started on this story if you are new to it.
A family with one of the largest Star Wars Lego collections in the world lost their lego set to a Bricks & Minifig store in Oregon.

Summary of my campaign this month:
LE War god (Khar'Aeres) gets elected to run the council. He declares there will be a large feast for peace in his biggest city and asks everyone to attend
I privately send him some rules for murder, subterfuge, and taking captives. He is insistent both privately and publicly that he wants peace.
Everyone is suspicious and no one understands his game.

Pretty weird now that you can search for info about an established RPG setting and the google ai will sometimes regurgitate info about someone's homebrew as if it's canon
Wonder how many people's homebrew lore will accidentally make canon because of writers who rely on AI info

I just noticed this the other day with a few RPG-related searches, I wonder if this phenomenon exists with bigger established universes like Star Wars or Marvel
