  • If we’re less than 3 players, she’ll play as an NPC as well. A lot of the times when it’s just us, we’ll either do a super balls to the walls session 0 character creation, or we’ll basically play test some of her campaign ideas as 2 players. Most of the time it ends up being much less structured, so more wiggle room to poke holes in plans, so it ends up being great practice for both of us.


  • Had a great session on Saturday! My partner is a DM so we play mini oneshots together quite often. This time, we invited 2 friends who’d never ever played, so she cooked up a quick 2 hour game to basically teach them the absolute basics of how to play. It included some cool character building, a scary but secretly nonlethal encounter against a cockatrice (aka demon chicken), and a great resolution with a bit of a cliffhanger ending. Of course they did all the heavy lifting while my nat 1s meant I hurt myself more than the enemy…

    I think they actually really enjoyed it, and now we’re talking about setting up a semi regular time in order to turn it into more of a campaign!





  • We just finished up a short dungeon crawl with myself (ranger), a fighter, and the DM NPC (Bard), all lvl 7.

    To preface this, my luck had been kinda shitty during a ton of rolls so far. We’d gotten the treasure, made it out of the dungeon, when suddenly the Bard casts Feign Death on the fighter (who had the bulk of it), grabs the treasure and runs. My horrible perception role means I think she actually just killed my best friend. So I get off my hunters mark and, in a moment driven by pure revenge, proceed to deal ~70 points of damage by making the best roles of my entire life. After confirming that my best friend is dead through another horrible roll, I deal a devastating finishing blow, grab him and the treasure, and sneak off with the intention of giving him a proper funeral. Of course he wakes an hour later and the DM is gobsmacked that I somehow downed her in a single turn.

    This is my third time ever playing DND and the first time I haven’t died. I think I’m satisfied with how it went haha


  • I’m ace/homoromantic.

    Thankfully I live in a pretty queer friendly area. I never technically came out, I just brought my GF with me to Thanksgiving one year. I absolutely gave my parents a heads up, but my personal philosophy is that if I wouldn’t have to come out if I was straight, I shouldn’t have to come out just because I’m gay. Thankfully my parents stopped inviting the problematic parts of my family years ago, so everything went super well. I’m effectively out to everyone generally in my day to day life.

    My being ace though is nobody’s business except for my GF and tends to not come up in conversation lol
