i'm. putting more work into this than i intended 🫡
#but hey i play dnd anyways#might as well make a properly usable sheet for myself#and not just. for a CoD fic lmao#colours are just picked from dnd stat blocks lol#also don't judge any of this#it's purely self-indulgent 🙏

love this shot. it's like mike is inviting them into his mind/game ("alright, wheeler, i think we found your hub") + max and dustin are the ones who step into frame. i am staring at the implications
#with the dustin death foreshadowing#possibly the two party members who dived in recklessly despite the risk and proceeded to pay the price#lucas was wary#el came in pre-traumatised from how dangerous it is#will obviously went through All That and became traumatised about it#dustin was like HEY I'LL PLAY and max was like WHY WON'T YOU LET ME PLAY#and then they die#because it's not a game which is what mike is constantly talking about in s2#it's not dnd it's real life he's from the upside down maybe he should be dead it's the brain if we kill it we kill everything it controls#brings it full circle to mike being willing to sacrifice himself for dustin too#he'd choose any of them over himself#these two are the ones reckless enough to show why it's a reasonable choice to make#it could be viewed as a necessity when you're inherently dangerous and you're friends with blind risk takers like max and dustin#who get themselves killed because you failed in all attempts to do the same#if you make the audience love these characters and then kill them#then asking if killing mike is worth it becomes a weighted question#because we love max and dustin. we don't want them to die. neither does mike#nancy didn't want barb to die#joyce didn't want bob to die#max DID want billy to die which is a whole other beast#but his dad sure didn't#everyone matters to someone and mike has decided that everyone else matters more than him#as long as you ignore max and dustin and karen all losing their minds when he's in mortal danger and possibly dead#it's all so complex and yummy i want to EAT it#anyway#cool shot 👍#st posting#manifestation theory

so in juniper's campaign we've just found ourselves in a high-stakes situation that I as a player do frankly find stressful and am anxious about, but hey hi also the DM was like 'okay here are the exact mechanics of how this is going to work because I don't want to surprise you with serious repercussions, also here are all the options you will have to try to do something about the situation-- [affected player] what do you think? honest feedback, I don't want it to feel unfair, I want to be clear that I am not just trying to kill your character, and if it ends up being badly balanced we can revisit it down the road' and oh my god I could COLLAPSE and WEEP with gratitude
#[tears in my fucking eyes] WHAT IF DND WAS GOOD!! WHAT IF A DM THAT'S GOOD!!!#LIKE I've said actually MOST of my DMs are good but because of the way this situation was presented specifically#where-- as NOT the affected player-- it does feel like the way it came up was a little unfair and I AM worried about the stakes--#I REALLY SPENT SO MUCH OF THAT ABOVE-TABLE TALK GOING OH WOW I FEEL LIKE OUR FRIEND ACTUALLY LOVES US AND WANTS THIS TO BE FUN!!#I DON'T KNOW THAT I AGREE WITH WHAT HE'S DOING HERE BUT I TRUST MY FRIEND AND IT'S SAFE FOR US TO TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS PLAYER TO DM!!#WOWIE THAT FEELS RELEVANT TO MY DND EXPERIENCE RIGHT NOW LMAO!!!#'I've looked at your stats and inventories to try to make this serious but balanced but if it doesn't work we can retool it'#'I want to be extremely clear that this situation could kill destal so I want to be extremely sure that you're comfortable with that--#-- and with how the mechanics are designed around it'#I am fucking. on my KNEES WEEPING. at the contrast with how punishing and DEEPLY unfun felix campaign has relentlessly been the whole time#and how little of a fuck it feels like THAT DM gives when he's like 'this random rolltable encounter was deadly :)'#'you guys didn't get hit last time and got all your spells back right?' uhhh wrong and wrong and we TALKED about that last time#are you gonna revisit the balance on your fifth in a row 'if you fail you'll TPK' scenario? no? yeah I figured lol#christ knows HE'S never invited feedback on his DMing. you KNOW I don't feel safe to say 'hey this doesn't feel fair or fun' with him#AND LIKE!! WITH A DM I TRUST I FEEL SAFE ENOUGH TO REALLY PLAY WITH SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENING!! YAY YIPPEE STAKES AND PATHOS!!!#I don't just want nothing bad to happen ever! but I don't want it to feel careless or heartless or just... Not Fun#anyway. grasping william's hands so tightly. my beloved friend. my wonderful friend. what a relief to have a DM that's good#after the shit we've been through in our now most-frequently-run campaign#the thing I'm mad about is that destal has been making a mystery saving throw every night-- but this was imperceptible to the characters#so we weren't acting on it#and now that he's failed it three times the situation is 'okay NOW you will be maming a con save every night and accumulating exhaustion'#'which can't be removed by sleeping' [six levels of exhaustion Kill You]#so like!! well okay I wish we had had ANY way of knowing how urgent this was before we got to 'now there's a deadly countdown' BUT OKAY#but like I said. he clearly put a lot of thought into the math for the mechanics#he made sure that we DO actually have ANYTHING we can do to mitigate the condition and outlined several options specifically and clearly#he checked in with justin about whether that seemed fair and opened it for future retooling if necessary#so I'm just at 'that was kind of a rugpull dude :/' instead of DESPAIRING lmao#this is a level of Oh Shit that's juicy! this is a level of Oh Shit that might force dramatic character choices out of desperation!#THIS IS AN OH SHIT WHERE WE STILL GET TO PLAY DND ABOUT IT AND HAVE ANY AGENCY WHATSOEVER. WHAT A CONCEPT.#ANYWAY!!! GOOD DND SAVE ME!!!!!!!!!

I love when ppl follow me immediately after reblogging a post of mine, thank you for letting me know which fandom I will disappoint you by not posting enough about lmao
#listen what are my fandoms? idk like. those ones#maybe today is D20 day where i will have opinions about other ppl playing dnd#or maybe today is avatar day (not that one) where i will roast ozai or feel bad for azula#or maybe it is lotr day. actually it is always lotr day but I'm still only posting about it when someone reminds me about boromir dying#hey it might be football (as in soccer) day again sometime! been a while but? could happen?#anyway if you're following me grab a seat have some chips enjoy the ride#don't feel bad for unfollowing me again if you're not having fun but if you wanna stay you're welcome to

Oh my god. What a ride
#ramblings#i can't believe one of my favorite sonic games is now what was supposed to be an april fools joke#i need more games like this desperately holy fuck#hey. hey sega. remember that one dnd sonic post. how about you uh. do something with that. idk maybe another visual novel or rpg or smthn#just a suggestion guys#anyways. god like i don't feel like i can even call this an april fools joke anymore#this is far beyond the quality and effort i would put into a bit#you can tell how much love and effort was put into this. it's amazing#again desperately need more stuff like this. sonic as a franchise is finally allowed to be its silly wacky self again#and doing so earnestly#i did not get a sense of forced self awareness that permeated the 'meta era' of games. it's all genuine good fun#and i love it. i love it so so much#anyways. i need to go to bed now. i'm sleepy#i'm so glad this game was made. genuinely. highly recommend playing it for yourself

just realized i havent told half this friend group in non binary... its been like a year :) how has this not come up??????
#one of them is literally trans... this somehow is worst#it feels too late at this point to be like hey guys i know its been a year buuuuuuuuut-#like should i tell them? yes will i? eh#i dont feel comfy just being like hey guys this is my shit i need to sneak it into convos or it feels awkward#havent figured out how to do that yet#the main friend of the group who brought us together knows#but hes like really flighty about it and since i dont rlly care what pronouns ppl use#especially when my characters are all different genders#i just like almost never correct him on it lol#cause tbh he calls me by my characters name even during normal convos#like theres a 70% chance hell just call me eira or kai rather than my normal name#and since eira is my current character and is a girl.... i get a lot of she/hers in there#and since its vc only i dont ever expect anyone to call me he/him cause i sound like a squeeky toy#well at least not unprompted#actually ive only sonehow played like 1 boy character 😮💨 thats sad i need to collect that gender#and also to force them to use he him for me :3c#dnd is actually so good if youre trying on new genders tbh#think i might make my next cyberpunk character enby :) gender is a construct in this dystopia anyway

#my mom is trying to get me to try out for the college's last theatre thing for this season#which is 1) comedy#which it's been established already that I cannot do bc I have zero poker face#and 2) it's being directed by. THE Theatre Boy#I guess the theatre professor was like lol you're leaving for all summer and possibly forever? not before you do this!!!#which is hilarious. he literally just put the most calm and put-together person in his entire class in charge of an improv comedy show#anyway. I will not be auditioning however I will be going to see it. I might offer my help with whatever they need but yeah#LOVE how my mom immediately goes HEY ARE YOU TRYING OUT?? and I'm like NO. WAIT UNTIL THEY DO THEIR SERIOUS PLAY IN THE FALL.#I don't have the capacity for comedy. no composure. I break at the slightest sign of something funny.#love to be an observer though#maybe dnd will make me better at this aksksjsjsjfnakfnakfnak

my test today went way better than i thought it would!!! and my last class doesn't meet today, so i can take as long as i want on my lunch break then go home and keep playing baldur's gate 3 (after a little bit of hw–i will be responsible today dammit)
#key speaks#today is a good day#despite the slight lack of sleep#(i still got like. 6 hours?)#anyways!#i got bg3 last night!#i saw some stuff for it on tumblr and hyper fixated for like a week#and decided that hey since [redacted positive life event] i might as well splurge and buy it#(seriously why is it so expensive. i gave up like 3 very cute posters and some amazing stickers to play this game)#(i rly love decorating so it was quite the sacrifice)#took an hour designing my Tav#(they are a tiefling bard and their full name is Octave)#(they are very purple and a little blue and teal)#(i know nothing about tieflings and very little about dnd beyond basic tumblr osmosis)#(so i don't really know their backstory yet)#anyways i got through the first bit with the creepy gross ship and crashed it#then it was midnight so i went to sleep#i'm excited to keep playing!#can't wait to meet all the companions

Unrelated to anything or any AU,
But I feel like Bianca deserves to own a gun
Just
“Oh, hey Bianca what’s this?”
*referring to something at the bottom of her bag*
“I’m glad you asked :))”
As she whips out a glock 19 to show the rest of the Unova kids who look on in horror
Although Hilda’s more mad than shocked
“We could’ve used that on Ghetsis >:( Do you know how easy it would’ve been to stop him >:(((“
The fucking Unovans man I swear😭😭😭🤣
Imagine her just going "oh, don't worry, I just have it for self defence :)"
"Girl you have control over our three dragons, a Serperior with Contrary, a Musharna that can put people to sleep, two little shits who are willing to bite anyone for you, and you even have your fingers wrapped around one of the Champions, what the fuck do you mean self defence—"
Iris really looking at Bianca holding the gun just "damn👀"
"can't you be gay at the right damn time, are you not concerned your girlfriend has a gun??"
"she can shoot me and I'd say thanks🥰"
"fucking impossible, Bianca let me borrow that thing real quick"
Cheren just fucking gives up man ofc one of em has a gun of fucking course and ofc it's Bianca what did he expect he should've known her father had an affinity to them shit man this got worse now that Hilbert wants one too and Arceus forbid Hilbert or Iris actually gets their hands on a gun too—
#guns#guns tw#anyways#bro😭😭🤣🤣🤣#lowkey tho there is smth dope in the mental image where#the usually 'weak' girl can actually wield these dope ass swords and guns#just cbmxnd ough™ yknow#imagine them playing dnd and everyone has like the classes they all think is cool#and bianca just chooses to be a goddamn barbarian bc she thinks itd be cool to be a strong charac for once#that would be cool tho i mean idk much abt dnd but imagine what classes theyd choose#idk hilbert gives off the vibes hed be a bard and iris is a dragonborn#but hey hahah#unova kids#an ask and an answer#jerseyk112

imo good character-establishing things to have for pcs are like
- the usual why are they on this adventure, why are they w this group, etc
- what's one personality trait that drives them to do the stupid but fun thing
- what's one aspect that might make them act in ways contrary to how they do normally (including Not doing the stupid thing if it wouldn't be fun)
that last one is beneficial for the collaborative aspect of ttrpgs: if everyone else wants to do x, & as a player u wanna cooperate but ur pc would be opposed, how can u navigate that? there's still times to dig ur heels in, but often I've found more value in establishing Why or How my character can be convinced to go along w smth anyway
also just. ppl contradict themselves sometimes, & having even a simple sense of that in ur pcs can both make rp richer & assist in collaborating w the other ppl at ur table
#for example one of my fave moments w my first urban shadows pc (sloane - a fae)#was when we visited the winter court as a party & bc shes a winter fae she got to meet the king#mind u. sloane had spent the Entire game hiding from winter ppl bc she ran away & was scared shed get in trouble#but when the option to Go To The Realm Of Winter came up i was like. okay. everybody else wants to do this. ooc i wanna do this too.#it wouldve been perfectly ic for sloane to refuse but that wouldnt have been fun! so instead#we had a scene where she found out the court had known where was the whole time she was on the run and she went Hey What The Fuck?#you couldve dragged me back the whole time and you Didnt? excuse me? am i not special enough for that??#im offended open the fuckin door so i can go tell the king how cool i am & demand why he didnt want me back more#& like that established So much character for her! shes v prideful to the point of recklessness! & not only was playing that up more fun#it also resulted in a rlly cool session that i wouldnt have gotten to play if she just said No#anyway can u tell i have Opinions lmao#esp on that last point <3#as a dm ive had to manage issues amongst my players multiple times bc ppl get stuck in the mindset of 'but its what my char would do'#even as it gets in the way of collaborative storytelling and actively rankles their friends at the table ooc#ur character can do other things too bud. u just gotta be willing to compromise#okay tangents over ive just been Thinkin#sorrel speaks#dnd#<- does tumblr still only put the first 5 tags in search results. god i hope so i want this in my tag not the main one

#lmaooo#jill is in aubree's campaign which justin DMs#but she also plays limerick! so we were like OH HEY okay we should talk more about what felix and limerick know about each other#n how long they've known each other and how they met and soforth#and anyway we ended up roleplaying out a couple scenes because of course we did#IT IS... ACTUALLY VERY WEIRD TO ROLEPLAY A GUY WHO DOESN'T WANNA TALK ABOUT HIMSELF LMAO#my own terror of one-on-one conversations heightened by a guy who is EVEN WORSE than I am at carrying his half lmao#but also where like limerick would say a thing and I jay would be like ☝️😃 relevant felix information!!#and felix is like hi hey I don't like talking about myself remember#oops. fuck. but *I* like talking about my blorbos :C#ANYWAY that was fun but I AM sad to have missed the traditional post campaign debrief with my boy :')#we always talk after playing dnd AND this session was REAL INTERESTING we'll have to debrief tomorrow 👀#about me#husband#irl frens#my ocs#felix

Tomorrow's dnd game got cancelled, so I have zero dnd games this weekend. I'm so sad about it. This is the game where I'm super impatiently waiting for stuff I have planned, too, so now it's another week delayed. I don't even know when it's gonna happen in the first place, either.
#I need to stop pinning my whole life on these dnd plans. It's not healthy and when things don't go quite how I planned it it's gonna kill me#but anyways.#part of what makes this so awful is that my dnd games are the only social interaction I get outside of my family members and one friend.#so not having ANY of them really fucking sucks for me.#but hey at least I got to hang out with one person today!!! that's better than nothing!!!!!#morrigan.text#delete later#personal#istg if my only game next weekend gets cancelled I'm going to lose my mind.#my dnd games (all of them) are really what keep me going at this point.#during the school year it was survive until the weekend so I could play dnd because it was my fun and relaxation.#and during the summer it's survive until the weekend so I can play dnd so I get social interaction.#this game is both my special interest and my lifeline.

I am once again: I don't think I like my friends very much anymore
#i have a dissenting opinion on something or bring up a different perspective over something minor and am put on blast for it.#i try to share my interests or organise times to do things and am shut down. they only wanna talk about their shit#like ive been trying to get them to play dnd for years at this point and theyve just been ignoring me#or when they finally do decide hey let's do this it's when I'm busy with work and can't do anything about it#but i can't just cut them all off because i still like a few of them and that'll cause problem issues#i think I'm just sick of [name redacted] being the fucking leader and pioneer and being shoved to the side#and he doesn't like it when we do things without him. like it matters wjen tjey do things without me.#like we started up a minecraft server earlier this month that was on java and he made a 'joke' about how i hate him because ...#... he can only play on bedrock. so i figured out a solution for that and he STILL won't play because his boyfriend is visiting.#and you know what?#the server fucking died! probably because he wasnt there and was weird about it!#and anytime *I* do something like that (made a joke about how ive been pulling characters from an unused oc group to use as ttrpg charas)#HE GETS WEIRD ABOUT IT! AND STANDOFFISH!#dude i think i hate him idk#and his boyfriend for dickriding him so hard (and i can't say that anymore because it upsets him but it's true. he dickrides so hard.)#(idk if he even has his own thoughts anymore.)#anyway rant over i think I'm just sick of these people
