Haha yeah, that’s definitely the right way to go, but the problem is not wrong expectations. He already DM’d a campaign for me a few years back and I knew what I was getting into. It’s just not his style. I crave for gritty old-school dungeon crawling, while he loves narrative-heavy games where dialogue takes priority and backstories tie heavily with in-game events.

It’s not all bad though, we still have fun, and my group takes turns at DMing - we all get to play what we like eventually, and offers variety in the long run. I would not play tabletop with any other group.

In my current campaign, I’ve tried thrice to die. The DM always pulls some bullshit and lets me survive :(

How did such a cute boi stay hidden for so long?

Please don’t try this at home.

I think that the best thing about tabletop games is that you are not bound by someone else’s rules and can decide on the spot what works and what doesn’t. It makes for more interesting plays that just adhere to the words written on the page.

A few years ago, me and my party were stuck in the sewers with giant invisible spiders stalking us. When they attacked us, the Paladin threw some water around so that the water hitting the invisible bodies would make them visible. There’s no specific rule for that, but it made for a cool moment.

At the same time, even if Firebolt explicitly states that it sets objects on fire and Investiture of Flame doesn’t, if the Sorcerer wants to burn stuff with it, I’ll allow it.

From experience, the only way to somewhat balance martials and casters is to either give the martials broken stuff, or play homebrew classes that actually care about giving them interesting features to play with.
Allowing the players to interact with the environment using their tools (as long as they don’t specifically infringe on established rules) doesn’t change the power dynamics between casters and non-casters. Sure, it technically increases the utility of casters a bit more, but chances are that they have countless tools for the job anyway. The martials are still eating dirt miles behind them.

Ah, the fallacy of overly literal reading of rules.

Which is why I hate the “spells only do what they say they do” argument. There’s a lot of things that should logically happen when you cast certain spells that aren’t specifically written in the rules.

I think all hobbies require you to suffer if you really like them and want to get better. May it be by spending a lot of time on it, or sweating a lot.

My current job is one of my former hobbies and God knows how many expletives I’ve shouted over the years lol

Left and top right are so goofy! A big, round, soft ball of cuteness.

Crawford also rules that See Invisibility doesn’t remove the advantage/disadvantage on attack rolls because it doesn’t say so in the spell’s effect, so… Yeah, I always ignore what he says.

Seems really cute, thanks for the recommendation!

Almost everyone agreed that making the Psion a fullcaster made it a lot more boring than it should be, by playing almost exactly like any other fullcaster in the game. It’s a shame that they decided to stick with this decision.

Petting a fox is scientifically proven to solve up to 99% of our problems.

The fact that there aren’t enough foxes for every one of us, and that foxes aren’t generally keen to allow humans to pet them, is a problem in and of itself, though.

I’m one of those people. I know it’s 100% my fault but I’ll likely do it again. I’m truly sorry.

I don’t understand what this feat does.

Wouldn’t I be able to accomplish the same results via regular roleplay and a Deception check, without the need of a feat?

It’s like having a feat that allows me to make a check to climb a building. Like, sure, that’s nice, but I could accomplish the same by… Telling the DM I want to climb the building, and passing the required check.

Woah, that’s awesome.

I would love to use it as wallpaper for my pc, but I’m too accustomed to dark mode to have so much white on my screen all at once…

I played the first one and, although I found it amusing, I agree it was mostly a one-joke game, which turned me off from trying the sequel.

I’m kind of curious now. Thanks for the recommendation!

Basically a different flavour of Armello.

#2. I just don’t feel it, today.

I’d rather forget that episode existed lol

Cute :)
