You Have Wandered Into Their Realm

[cyclopsboxhead]

"As you begin in the dungeon, these tunnels are tight, you can still see the roots of plants from the surface hanging down. You wind deeper and deeper down. The loose dirt and soft soil give way to more solid, packed earth and stone, no more roots down here."

"Roll a check since you're in the front."

"Out of the darkness a shriek pierces the air as a giant rat with glowing red eyes lunges at you. It's teeth chomp down onto your face."

So my friend has begun dming again, and he's work-shopping a system with us that's like a mix of AD&D and Squire. We just did out first ever dungeon last week! I can't believe nobody died!! Boy did we come close though!! The quotations above are based on what my dm friend was saying to set the scene and stuff. I paraphrased a little cause I don't remember exactly word for word what he said lol, but I hope I made him sound as cool as he is.

I've decided I'm going to do these little mini comics for each session, because drawing what's going on keeps me more present in the session while also giving my hands something to do when I'm not rolling. I'm delighted to share the first of these mini comics, there will be more to come! And at some point I'll post the character, who I've been having a blast playing so far.

One of the things I appreciate about the way Brennan Lee Mulligan runs games on Dimension 20 is exactly this. For all that the players sometimes yell at him for making the bad guys too strong or the puzzles too difficult, he's also the first to say "I'm going to house rule this because that is cool as shit" when someone says they want to do something truly wild. He respects his players' agency in playing their characters, he respects their intelligence in solving his riddles. Someone rolls a nat 20 and "ruins" his plan? "Oh fuck. Incredible. OK. Um-" and then he runs with it. Someone makes a high stakes save? He's cheering with the rest of the table. Brennan wants his players to have a good time and he wants the game to tell a good story and he's not trying to hide behind some too cool for this mask.

And I really appreciate that.

Also, his sound effects. It reminds me of the stories about big actors having to be told to stop making the lightsaber noises on Star Wars. Like a little kid playing with dinosaurs.

After a brief battle only the bandit leader was left standing, negotiating her life and freedom, she promises to leader our heroes to the bandits main hideout, where something big is happening

sometimes

once in a blue moon this mood visits and it's not always wise to entertain the idea, but I guess it's okay as long as I just think about it

sometimes the soul just wants to rage. flip the dice and pick your poison! Go out with a good friend and get drunk. Talk, laugh, cry, and then laugh some more. Walk into a bar, throw a chair, get into a brawl, apologize for overreacting, overreact some more, complain about capitalism, show your cool underwear.

and this is why I love playing a bard. I can do crazy shit and the party never gets mad at me for almost killing us all in an impromptu battle :3

Local cat thinks a d20 is a pillow, takes a nap

You get to the center of a lush jungle but instead of a giant mother tree or something it's an enormous floating nose
