- It's weird this happenned twice
Lessons Learned:
- Despite entire fandom constantly talking about the Chaos Gods and threat Chaos poses, most of the Imperial Guard aren't supposed to know anything about it, less alone the specific names.
- Despite their enemeis in Sabbath participating commonly in diablerie and fandom making big deal out of what an unforgivable crime it is, it is not something an average Vampire of Carmarilla knows about in any way.
- Look man I just wanted to play an actual dragon

- World of Darkness Cosmology is... Different.
Let's see if crossposting works.
- No one is going to believe the guards.
"You say it was a 12-foot bear with a screaming, toothed sword? How much of what are you drinking on your shift?"
I know it's a silly picture, that chainsaws don't exist in most IP's, and most shapeshifters couldn't use them regardless. But it's the first thing I thought of when I saw the template.
- The special kind of fun that is a full minute or two spent rolling legendary damage.
Even better if the foe was already almost dead. When you slap something for huge numbers it's also fun having the DM describe the wreckage that's left of your opponents.
I feel like some Table Top games are more prone to this than others, just based off watching some different IP's being played.
- Hey
Hey \#ttrpgcommunity ! I'm prepping some free content for my solo RPG Dungeons of Galora that will be rolled out on itch.io next month and I just finished the cover art I'll be using for it!
- So there's a story with this one (in description)
The DM's pitch was to roll characters that were the local problem-solvers. Level 5, been adventuring in the same rural area for years, handled bandits/goblins/unruly wildlife. It was an opportunity to play odd/misfit characters for a while if we wanted to.
What we didn't know at the time was that our merry band of Goonies were meant to die to amp up the emotional investment for the rest of the campaign. Tragedy in the 1st act, then the movie starts for real. It's one thing to hear about the Big Bad hurting people, it's another to care because you lost a party to them.
So the 1st party played for 2 sessions, made it to the boss fight, and started dropping. The wizard realized he wasn't killing the Big Bad by himself so he fled, left the rural area for the local city, and explained what happened at the adventurer's guild/tavern. Of course the players, whose characters had just died, signed up for revenge this time with "professional" properly built characters.
Returning with proper characters and the wizard sharing knowledge of traps, layout, tactics etc. we barely managed to win. The DM let the Big Bad (who was never supposed to die) be killed but he talked about "his master's revenge" - the DM simply moved his plans for a villain "one step up". It was still a hard fight - two died and I retired the character I had re-rolled saying it was injury. The wizard went on to be the grizzled sole survivor for the rest of the campaign and it was kind of a cool backstory for that player to work with.
- What happened with the sphinx though?

How To Confound A Centaur
Centaur: Hold it right there, you can't just ride through my fields uncontested! I'll lose my credibility if we don't battle or something.
Me: That's fair. How about we–
Centaur: And it can't be a pun battle, I heard what you did to the sphinx.
Me: Darn. Okay, what if I beat you in a horse race?
Centaur: Ha! Alright, your funeral. Where's the finish line?
Me: That tree over there. Where's your horse?
Centaur: (gestures at horsey backside) Um...?
Me: You're not a horse, this is a HORSE race. You have to race with an actual horse.
Centaur: You want me... a centaur... to RIDE a regular horse.
Me: That is, linguistically-speaking, what you agreed to.
Centaur: ...
Me: ...
Centaur: I hate you.
Me: That's fair.

- Seeing these memes lately. Anyways, -most- druids are like:
Now don't leave me hanging, and let's get to the next adventure!
- Gambling can be Deception vs Insight, or Sleight of Hand vs Perception... or raw INT, or Strength (if it's arm wrestling) or Intimidate or-
This comic follows on from the Previous comic which might help provide context.
Why would Konsi play with such a handicap?
-
Growing up as a street urchin, she never really had access to lots of clothes. When not wearing armour, or dressing up for an event, she’s still most comfortable wearing just a simple robe.
-
She’s trying to practice keeping her cool under pressure, and that’s not effective if you have a lot of safety.

- What's that my martial friend? Through the door you say, which you'll then block? You know just what to tell me.
Bonus points for having an athletic friend hold the door closed afterwards until the screaming stops.
- When it doesn't take much convincing to get a mortal to sign a soul pact.
Original quote is from Dee Dee Warwick, whose last name was kind of perfect and inspired the meme.
- 5e has an advantage of not requiring doctorate in quantum physics to run
I would usually be sad to see another original RPG go 5e compatible but Neuroshima was infamously poorly designed ruleset, possibly worse than Shadowrun. I probably won't be running it, but may steal statblocks for my 5e game if I need weird stuff again.
- Tales From the Tables #39; Devil's Due part 3
Hear ye, hear ye!
Tales From the Tables is back with episode #39!
Our intrepid misadventurers commence the long awaited showdown with the devil Alexander. Roll for initiative!
Whew... barely managed to finish it for my self-imposed deadline... but I really hope y'all enjoy the unfolding story. It's quite the tonal shift from when we began 3+ years ago but hey, isn't that just how D&D campaigns play out? :D
BTW, should you be a new reader, you can always find the rest on Tapas or Webtoon. Links here :)
