Question of the Day: How was your last Dnd session? My answer is a little long so I'm putting it in a spoiler.
So on Saturday, I played two games.
I ran my 7am game - and in that game, I was an unusually cruel DM. In that game, there are two monks in the party. And they enjoy the ol' stun lock trick.
So where they were - a pack of trolls arrived (drawn by the smell of dead elves, that the party discovered had been killed by a green dragon). One of those trolls was a venom troll.
The venom troll spews poison on any damage it takes except for one specific type of damage.
So the monks were hitting away, trying to stun - taking damage themselves - only to discover - the troll was regenerating.
Was very, very, very fun to present a challenge that forced them to think differently.
The game after - It's the 5e Dragonlance in which I play a White Robed Wizard, whose path has been going darker...
Usually I drop a fireball or two - then the bad guys get their revenge on me, since I have crap armor and even worse HP. (I am going to grab Toughness at level 8...)
But this was the first time I survived without taking a fall. Was a fun session but I was bone dry out of spells when we had continued.
I sometimes recap it in a "story" format from my character's perspective:
So, uh, what are we exactly supposed to avoid posting now?
We'll know it when we see it.
you can always tell. It leaves an odor in its wake...
My last D&D Session was Saturday night, and it was wild because this group decided to head to Dorado and compete in the Grand Games prelims. Which, of course, i have outlined but nothing specific created for.
So it was me basically improvising a Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Bob Hope, and Bing Crosby road trip to Gladiator crossed with Olympics in a city that is modeled after the Wild West and genuinely run by a man who is called The Duke.
in the middle of this, came a pun sequence. not just any pun sequence, but a pun chain, where yo have to not only pun off the last one, but add a new pun.
because they saw camels. And, having seen camels and started making puns, (it was midweek, so, i guess they had a point), this meant the Vanguard (gladiator style Barbarian) had to punch the camel. but forgot to specify non-lethal (accidentally, on purpose) and so killed the camel, and now they not only plan to compte, but they plan to do it in the chariot races, with camels instead of horses.
That's next month, thankfully.

Can a giants ring act as a humans crown? Like as a spoil of battle?
I cannot think of a reason why not, beyond the aspect of size of the giant to make the ring the size of a head.

if I only have ketchup and yellow mustard, then probably.
but I am very, very rarely only left with those options.
i use ketchup on hamburgers, and the above mentioned occasional.
‘I do not use catsup for anything else. Ever. It is the one common condiment I almost never have — and when I need it, I just make a small batch of it for myself.

Is WotC doing any stupid 💩? Or have they recently done some stupid 💩? That. Don’t talk about that in this thread and you’ll be fine.

That’s a great idea! I would definitely say it could.
I really like D&D, especially Ravenloft, Exandria and the Upside Down from Stranger Things. My pronouns are she/they (genderfae).
I also remember a magic item that was a fairy's crown, which could be worn as a ring by a humanoid.
I don’t exactly know how to calculate that. But I find it funny.

As for ketchup on hot dogs, well…
It depends.
if all I have is catsup, then yes.
if I only have ketchup and yellow mustard, then probably.
but I am very, very rarely only left with those options.
i use ketchup on hamburgers, and the above mentioned occasional.
