  • Player1: The quest said we have to retrieve the heart of the ocean!

    DM: that would be great except Rose threw it into the ocean.

    Rose: it’s what my player would have done.

    DM: that’s good Rose so let’s move on

    Player 1: hold on now she made it very clear she didn’t want to let us know, my character wouldn’t stop looking until I find it.

    DM: … So you want to roleplay aimlessly searching the entire ocean looking in a place we all no the gem is not at for the rest of your life until we die in real life?

    Player 1: well no, we will obviously run out of capital eventually and have to sell out to private equity to continue the search and after that fails we’ll have to do something different right? I mean I don’t want to give away the whole campaign.

    DM: … One Shot, not campaign.

    Player 1: come on DM you let rose do what her player would do despite the rest of the group wanting to strangle her.

    Rose: you’re doing this to punish me aren’t you?

    Player 1: well you’re the one who threw the damned necklace in the ocean!

    DM: “Sigh” roll an investigation check.


  • You’ve just been living in peace too long never forget the US dropped two atom bombs on Japan and installed a puppet government who was banned from ever having a standing government. Also there was that time not one not two not three but four planes were hijacked at the same time and the only one to miss was the last one heading twords the capital because a bunch of passengers overthrew the hijackers and as a twist ending turns out the country the terrorist was attacking was the real bad guy’s the entire time.

    Hmm, red makes it go faster so you kill more people faster but they don’t suffer as long but blue gives you better team mates in matches… wait is this competitive trolley slaughter? I wasn’t expecting to need a team I guess I’ll choose blue because they will be carrying.




  • Lol, that reminds me of my first DM session …

    Anyways, my actual first DM session — everyone loved the memes. Like the classic “hitting a gazebo with a sword” one. The meme they really liked was the “forever DM,” so everyone was joking like, “Not me, you have to come back from vacation just to DM!” etc.

    I, on the other hand, jumped at the opportunity to be DM. I had no idea what I was doing. When I was designing the enemies, I was a bit annoyed that our regular DM’s encounters were so easy, so I thought I needed to get a gauge on how much damage they could take before dying.

    So, I invented a boss. What it was — was a creature that, when you hit it with a sword, would psychically protect itself. I knew my meme-loving players couldn’t resist hitting it, since that was the meme of the week.

    They had no idea it was the gazebo.

    So the gazebo kept spawning more and more enemies. I waited until they were almost dead so I could see how much they could take. My initial plan was to wait until they were entirely dead, but they started getting angry that my first session was about to be a TPK.

    So I gave them a hint to kill the gazebo. They didn’t understand what I was doing, and I got some very strong pointers about the encounter being too hard. The rest of the night was… a bit bitter.

    I hope you like the beautiful punctuation you hypocrites just made AI take my job
