Don't hate the player, hate the... Wait no, definitely hate the player. #dmproblems

When your character is brutally murdered and you’re actually touched by the lengths the other characters are willing to go to in order to rescue her soul from hell(s).

[Amber, Queen of Dragons @Farore_RPG]

Sometimes playing Dungeons & Dragons means fighting powerful beasts and besting cunning foes.

Other times it means almost passing out in a cupcake eating contest after taking 7 custard damage..

I’m so obsessed with this account, it’s silly. #inspo

You are drawn to a vacant garden summoned by red ice devils. The bard said that the Red Emporer of the Earth still creeps nearby. #dnd

Nestled in the mountains is a desolate opera house created by friendly cloud giants. The propecy told that the Silver Scroll of the Sun sings

Decided I’m going to be better at tweeting. New campaign starts in a week - looking to take it in a pretty weird direction. Does anyone have any fun home-brewed reversal/backward spells that they love?

Beyond the far reach lies a vacant town plagued by zombie storm giants. The bard sang that the Twin Emporer of All Flowers still lives nearby.

Typhonia’s hexblade is a cursed relic of the Underworld: The Blade of Cerberus. It has the ability to shift into three different sizes: dagger, short sword, and great sword. The hilt of the blade is adorned with three hand-sculpted dog heads with cobalt blue eyes.

The aforementioned character from my previous tweet is a fire genasi hexblade warlock fighter multi-class. We are playing with the Greek Pantheon and Typhonia Kapnós is a distant descendent of Hades. Her hair turns to blue flames in the Underworld/Underdark.

@anrelaiabol @DungeonFacts Preparing your players with supplemental info on the setting would be the most important thing here, at least for me. Get them in the head space so they can just immediately embrace the quest/mission.

@ratkingnow Me with undead... lol

Recently joined a campaign in which I play an adjunct “professor” and legendary combat strategist/warrior. The other players are my pupils and we have a dynamic similar to Professor Lupin/HP or Gandalf/the fellowship. We interact differently with NPCs— makes for unique RPing. 🔥

When the masquerade turns into a masq-acre... Somehow no one was alarmed by the mask-maker selling masks fashioned out of actual flesh.

One of my players is “dating” an Oblex. Little does she knows it’s just attracted to her lovely mind. #loveoozeintheair
