What it says on the tin! I love coming up with dumb nicknames for the official 5e campaigns, and I thought I'd make this so you guys had a place to share all the funny things and inside jokes of your campaigns and the stories behind them! I'll start us off!
Tomb of Annihilation instantly caught my attention when I first got it. As I continued to read through the campaign in preparation for DMing it, there was one thought that remained in my mind: "This is literally just Indiana Jones mixed with Monty Python and set in the jungles of Brazil but on crack!" The tone of the campaign is mostly serious, but there were so many goofy things possible that I couldn't stop snickering every time I opened the book. From random rope traps to zombie dinosaurs to the inevitable shenanigans that would occur literally everywhere, the entire thing seemed to me like it was perfectly balanced between shitpost and masterpiece, of which I have not seen the likes of since Metal Gear Rising: Revengance!
And that's just the campaign book. So imagine how it would go when the player characters are:
A Tiefling Rogue who's kleptomania is rivalled only by his poker face,
A Drow Druid who got kicked out of the Underdark because of his arachnophobia, and
A Half-Orc Barbarian with plenty of bite but not much bark (he's socially awkward but super strong)
So that's why the D&D campaign I'm running is called "Indiana Jones with Monty Python in Brazil on Crack"! What are your stories?

D&D isn't an online tournament, it's a TTRPG where your imagination and the DM's compliance are the limits. I don't do "metas". If I can have fun with my thematically cool and still viable (both in and out of combat) concept, I'm happy. I'm not going for optimal stats; I'm going for optimal fun.
I used to run rime of the Frostmaiden, and I used crag cats a lot. They also called Auril “the owl lady,” so I think a fun nicname for the campaign would be rime of the The owl lady and her cats.

I can already see the interactions here XD
Auril: "Who dares to disturb my eternal winter's slumber?!" PC1: "Listen here, owl lady. We've come to-" Auril: "I AM NOT TO BE CALLED SOMETHING SO INSULTING AS OWL LADY!!!" PC2: *whispering* "It's not like crazy cat lady's any better." Auril: "I HEARD THAT!!!"

Yeah, it’s sad we never finished. I’m pretty sure that they would annoy Auril so much she would destroy literally every settlement in icewind dale after turning them into ice sculptures,

I’m not a furry but I love looking at furry memes because they can be so wholesome and cute :3
Hehe, nice ^w^ Some are cute, some are cringe, some are downright weird, but such is the way of every aspect of life I will admit though, the art and the hugs are the main reasons I like the fandom x3

I think that the furry fandom is one of the friendliest if you stay long enough :3
I’m also trying to learn more of the emoticons that pop around everywhere because they make me feel more feminine to use them. :D

The furry fandom is absolutely one of the most supportive and friendly communities I've been hehe Also, we should probably continue this in not a D&D forum if at all x3
