I suppose the correct pedantic way to say it is “Lego bricks” even in the plural. But brevity in titles is a thing I strive for. Less so in the comments section. Also marbles. Marbles feel surprisingly sharp for spheres when stepped upon.
We’ve tried some Roll20 and even a mix of in-person with someone zooming in (which we’re gonna have to do again) but the commute is worth it for the in-person to me. Then again we host so it’s no commute off my nose. Just set up and clean up.
I did check! It went something like: Me: Before I go further into this room, I’m backing up to the wall and shooting everything to see if any of it bleeds. Party: You sure you’re not going to get eaten by the wall? Me: …well if the wall is a mimic I’m already dead.
Stole this from reddit and came to find a cremposting community here because I wanted to share this WOB I found recently: wob.coppermind.net/…/294-17th-shard-interview/#e1…Made me laugh so hard.
I saw this and laughed because a few months back I ran a one-shot (Darkmoor I believe) that had possible vampire wildlife in it and used this exact deer for my tokens. And added a bit of blood to the fangs because why not.
Eh, I’d definitely say it’s not a “don’t ever do this” scenario. For player agency matters- if luck had been on our side (if I’d rolled a longer fuse, if we’d coordinated better, if I’d gone down instead of up first) then yeah, we could have diffused them. Regardless, I think it works for the story. First off, it’s something I gave myself in my backstory, not something I earned in-game. Secondly, I acknowledged that having this bar to defend was reducing my character’s desire to go after the main story line (so I shouldn’t have been surprised ;) ). Third, this is intended as a short campaign so I think bigger character’s-life-changing events are reasonable if not even expected. And most importantly of course, I trust my DM to make a good story, and he trusts me to help move the story forward in interesting ways. (despite what I said about defending the bar, I can find character reasons to move forward if I need to and have in the past.)
I think over the course of the night we had 1 nat 20 (not counting the one that was rolled just as an “evens or odds” roll) and about 8-9 nat 1s. I rolled 6 consecutive single digits at one point. Fortunately the only 20 saved my character from being possessed so that was nice.
ICRPG game last night had me seconds from full character death. Then my bar blew up with us squeezing out last second. Terrifying, hair raising, great fun.
It’s been a thunder spell from the druid both times. I gave her owl stats but flavored her as a very small dragon who has a fondness for polyhedral gems. Yep, she’s a dice dragon. I guess that makes my familiar my self-insert character. https://ttrpg.network/pictrs/image/ded34c61-d82c-4076-9388-c7f6f9a2cbbc.png
In this campaign and another one where a different pc had a familiar, the DMs incentivized not killing them off by limiting the places you could find material components. I’m stocking up next time.
ok no but that’s actually perfect. The flavor he has for his character is they like posing questions to everyone. “Would you rather brawl with a lion or sleep with a viper?” is one he asked last night. (They said lion, he suckerpunched them and responded “interesting choice, let’s see how you do.”)
My current rogue started out sharing loot fairly but it’s become a running joke that she stashes so much she jingles when she walks. To be fair, half of the party actively don’t want money and she’ll share when asked (if she can’t get the five-finger discount on whatever the party’s trying to acquire) so essentially she’s acting as the party bank.

It's getting out of hand. (ttrpg.network)
Most of us in my in-person group are parents too, so we’re trying not to spread to each others’ kids. It gets rough.
Five more minutes, guys. Ish. (ttrpg.network)
With enough strength, encumberance isn't an issue. (ttrpg.network)

Good thing my -2 strength will help me escape! (ttrpg.network)
Sometimes my rogue goes off on her own for stupid reasons. This time it was because of a stupid mistake. But we survived so it’s fine! :D
ok but seriously (ttrpg.network)

If we fireball it do we still need to cook it? (ttrpg.network)
And like D&D sessions, rooting for it to happen (ttrpg.network)

Her home, bar, and underground speakeasy that she shared with a clan of otterfolk. It’s…it’s fine, everyone made it out… it’s fine…

That which doesn't kill you may traumatize you forever (ttrpg.network)
I feed the DM so many plot hooks and ideas. So many.
Okay Jesse, I don't have a rock slide in real life but I do have a gun (startrek.website)
I fear what he's going to throw at us next fight (ttrpg.network)
To be fair, they did get some pretty decent damage in on their surprise round. They just didn’t get many more chances.
Always a good sign (ttrpg.network)
Working for magic is for losers. (ttrpg.network)
Which makes me a loser. My favorite character lately is my cleric.
Please don't kill my plot hook (ttrpg.network)
The “What the dm planned/what the players do” meme reminded me of this instance from a few months back while I one-shotted in a campaign break.

Can't stop warforged (ttrpg.network)
We were fighting on top of a 300-ft-tall giant; one of his lair actions took away the atmosphere. Our warforged didn’t even care.
