DM, as NPC Wizard: “The exit is that way.” (He points to a general direction to a side of the room before proceeding to pass out from injuries.)
DM: The direction he pointed at has two doors; one gold and one silver.
Half-elf Ranger: Can I roll to check out the doors further?
DM: Sure. They both look like doors, except hold and silver. There is a paper next to them with illegible handwriting.
Human Sorcerer: Uh, I try to open the silver door and leave.
DM: It’s not locked. You and the rest of the party leave. On your way out, you notice a gold door beside the silver door on the external side of the building.
Human Sorcerer, OOC: Is that.
Human Sorcerer: I try to open the golden door.
DM: It is not locked either. It opens into the same room that you just left. Congratulations, I just wasted your time.
Pun ways to Cope with Death
We’re playing a horror RPG game and one of the characters had just pulled the card that meant their immediate death. One of our players couldn’t join for the session and was just listening in, sending the occasional comment via discord.
GM: And you see as Kyle is pounced on by the monster, and the kindest thing you can say is that it's fast. You hear a cut off scream and wet sounds as he’s thoroughly destroyed
Give every one of your villains a theme song.
Not just big bads, but minor mooks and wandering monsters too. Each one gets their own individual theme song and the battle can’t start until you’ve listened to all of them.
listened to Bohemian Rhapsody today… i’m so very sorry
If this post gets 100 notes I’ll recreate the entire song through memes
OK so I’ll do my best to get this done soonish–it may be a week or two, but I’m doing it
My masterpiece… is complete.
op did not put in this much work for 160 notes
Love this, but reblogging it specifically for “Get rid of secret rules.” That’s one of the most amazing illustrations—and points—I’ve ever seen.
Have your rogue speak thief’s cant, which is just English but the only verb is “yoink”.
Was The Mimic Armor Worth It?
DM: So you investigate the statue, and realize that the armor isn’t actually armor at all! It’s mimic armor!
Our resident goliath: But I want it
Goliath:
