playing dungeons and dragons with your friends is so much fun. no one is talking about this

[duck-newton]

got roped into dm-ing a campaign for my work friends (they were going to use chatgpt to dm if I didn’t volunteer, don’t even get me started) and I’m slightly fearful that these players are a lot less “let’s explore this rich world and solve the mysteries presented to us by the narrative” and a lot more “let’s kill a bunch of civilians because it’s Funny and we’re Men dar har har”

I was in a different campaign with a few of these people and it fell apart for various reasons, but during that campaign the dm was like “here’s a very obvious path to follow” and they were just like “I roll to set this merchant’s fish stand on fire”. And so they set the fish stand on fire

And like on one hand I don’t want to discourage them too much because everyone should play in the way that they find fun but also that was just like not fun for me at ALL so I’m struggling with how to find a balance here

phantasmal and resplendent…

Taako & Lup VS Timerra & Fogado

Part A, Round 2, Match-Up 4

(Image description: a cover image designed in a zig-zag split screen way. The middle part says "the adventure zone" in all caps with the font tilted in order for it to look like the text is coming at you. The rest of the images are all, presumably, facets of the story, such as playing cards, a nondescript hero in a cape, something that looks like possibly spaceships, etc. end description)

(image description: the cover of a nintendo switch game. The title is "fire emblem engage", with the last word beneath the first two. Above the title are a bunch of colourful characters holding swords and staring at various points beyond the image. End description)

Taako & Lup have so far defeated Ellie & Scooter

Timerra & Fogado have so far defeated Rock & Roll
