After Dungeon Mastering For A Year, Here’s What I Added To My Games.

After being a Dungeon Master for a year, I’ve created some optional house rules at my tables that I wanted to share with the larger TTRPG community.

Oh damn I’m reading the DMG 2024 and they list Exandria as a D&D setting you can use. That’s pretty cool

Crit Hit The Giant @crithitthegiant.bsky.social · Jan 26

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...

I may be done posting stories about the games I play or DM

The amount of backseat DMing that goes into the comments when I'm trying to share a cool moment is utterly exhausting

Yes, we know and followed the rules

Had I known I was going to get interrogated, I would have released the transcripts

Robbie, Cloaks & Capes TTRPG @cloaksandcapes.bsky.social · Jan 15

Can I show off one of my favorite items? This was illustrated by @butturdapple.bsky.social and made specially for our Fey Royalty Sorcerer.

You can find that and 10 other Dungeons and Dragons Subclasses over on our Patreon!

An artifact cloak for use in Dungeons and Dragons. The Cloak of Sweet Summer levels up along with the player character. It's a royal red color with golden embroidery that turns into fire as it licks off the edge of the cloak. Inside the hood you can see a whole different realm, where its always sunny with blues skies. The mechanics of the card include: Limited Sentience. This cloak has a mind of its own and can be commanded to move and use the help action on your turn. Making a command is a free action. The cloak has a flying speed of 40 feet and is impervious to damage. While away from you, you do not benefit from any of its properties except the boost to your primary ability stat.

Dormant State
While attuned to this artifact you gain a +1 bonus to your Charisma, Wisdom or Intellect up to a maximum of 24.
You have resistance to fire damage and anytime you are struck by a melee weapon attack the attacker takes 1d8 fire damage.

Awakened State
The bonus to your Charisma, Wisdom or Intellect increases to +2 to a maximum of 24.
You can cast the misty step spell without expending a spell slot. Once you cast the spell through this artifact, you must take a long rest before doing so again. Additionally, you can take one willing creature of your size or smaller with you whenever you cast this spell, even if it’s not through the artifact.
Whenever you use a spell slot to cast a spell, you can choose to roll a d20. If you roll a 20, you can roll on the Wild Magic Surge table and refund your spell slot.
The damage your cloak deals to melee attackers increases to 1d10.

Exalted State
The bonus to your Charisma, Wisdom or Intellect increases to +3 to a maximum of 24.
The d20 roll to refund your spell slot now triggers on a 19 or 20.
You are immune to fire damage and the damage your cloak deals to melee attackers increases to 2d6.

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer.

The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.
