I'm coming out as Pansexual. Do with that information what you will.

I reworked drow society for my homebrew setting. While on the surface not much has changed, I feel like this added some much-needed depth to the "evil" dark elves.

Tonight the party happened upon a 20-foot-tall black obelisk in the middle of K'Tawl Swamp, surrounded by purple-cloaked corpses, bowed before the structure, seemingly in supplication. When the GOO warlock touched the obelelisk, something funny happened...

The warlock falls to the ground, spasming. The corpses snap in half backwards and crab walk toward the party as rubbery black tentacles burst from their abdomens, their heads rolling lazily from side-to-side.

If you ever have trouble getting motivated to so something, just tell yourself that you’re doing it for #BabyYoda. Your margin for failure will disappear instantly.

@MTBlack2567 The destruction of another world that's very existence threatens their own. Can they doom a whole world just to save their own?

I am genuinely curious, if a Game Master runs at least 16 hours of content for a convention, should that Game Master receive a free pass or reduced rate to attend the convention?

When you want to tell people about all the cool things you have planned for your Friday game, but all of your sounding boards are players in said game.

@MTBlack2567 Honestly, there are enough accessible, "easy" adventures out there. Challenge the players. Don't give them the assurance they're all going to make it out alive. If they're dying left and right and still loving it, you've done well. And imagine how special those survivors feel!

@MTBlack2567 Modified 20 or "Mod" 20, to try and sound cool and hip like the kids these days

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Alas, my last project was "The Mines of Dhol Kuldhir", a dungeon straight from my own home game.

Woke up this morning to discover that horror legend Sid Haig had passed away. #RIPSidHaig, you made every movie you were in better by pure virtue of having you in it.

A Harvest Moon on Friday the 13th. I couldn't have picked a better night to end my Curse of Strahd campaign. Tonight, the "Chucklefucks" face @StrahdVonZ in an epic confrontation.

[Ed The Bard @EdTheBard]

@VoiceOfOBrien That is wizardly as hell!

[Ed The Bard @EdTheBard]

@BrainClouds What?! It's your birthday?! Well, happy spirit journey formation anniversary!

[Ed The Bard @EdTheBard]

And then I introduced the Deck of Many Things into Curse of Strahd...

Blood Hunter (current owner of said deck): Have you ever heard of a game called Duel Monsters?

Arcane Trickster: No. What's that?

BH: We each draw 7 cards, like this...

Fucking. Priceless.

@IronGM @Gen_Con The suspense is killing me!
