So he's saying that he's being held back by Square?

Because E33 honestly runs several laps ahead of everything Square has been doing as of late.

The execution: I spawn, 2 black d20s that I use when important rolls are made publicly. "I'm going to be honest, if he looks at the side and says snake, he still goes before all of you except for Rogue who rolled a 25".

I roll both d20s, 1 and 1. Laughter explodes.

The dice gods are funny.

The plan: Roll a stupid high initiative number, show them how this guy's speed is at least 90 ft, cliffhang the session so they have a week to think more plans. They are facing a good guy, they will get to run.

And somehow that lines up with very high CR creatures, since a 1/day feature he has gets his initiative bonus to +19, advantage to boot, and lets him move half his speed. That's why I boldly exclaimed "now I jumpscare you all", as I placed the mini with public HP.

5e 2024 is very interesting when it comes to Monster design, high CR creatures have seemingly ridiculous initiative bonuses, players do get many ways to reach high initiatives too! This legendary Monk I built is mostly based on how my player had him during one shots, extrapolated to level 20.

After coming up with several plans and ideas, they cast every buff they can on themselves, and walk through the treshold, I tell them something along the lines of "and now is when I jumpscare you all, as I describe how the ruined coliseum blends with how it was in the past, "Roll initiative".

Guarded by a slim figure, sitting on the floor in meditation behind a barrier of chaotic magic, the monk player quickly figures out what's going on, this final thing is guarded by his ancestor, in a space that bends time. They know they are no match for this guy. They scheme for a while.

And so with that context we get to my last session, the party reached the location of their final McGuffin, in a piece of land that soars above the mountain peak where the party's Monk trained in his backstory. In there, the ruins of a coliseum host the final piece of their quest.

So, when anyone has advantage and rolls a 1 on both d20s, I describe how they see a snake, ask them what they do, and then describe to the rest how their ally stared at the air and failed what they were doing. If it happens In my end they see an NPC look to the side and go "Snake?".

In my homebrew setting I've incorporated a real life element into the world, "don't look into the eyes of the snake", a tale of a man who had everything to succeed, but failed miserably, then blamed a snake. When a task begins someone always says "alright people, don't go looking at snakes".

Stories from my DnD campaign:

Session 66: DM trying to jumpscare their players tempts the dice gods to do the funniest thing.

So, I seem to have the power to invoke dice rolls by explaining the stakes that go along them, the result is always either the funniest or worse result, no inbetween.

So... the same as running DnD for adults?

Playing DND with 9 year

1. Trying to find ways to
resolve things and make the Zombie our friend

2. Doing things that are
recognized as war crimes

Seems that they gave up trying to get their AI to make letters properly so they just got rid of them...

Nintendo is apparently lobbying the Japanese Government to push back against Generative AI.

Satoshi Asano, a member of Japan’s House of Representatives says Nintendo is choosing to avoid the use of generative AI in order to safeguard its IP.

The way I see it, the challenge they have ahead shouldn't change because they made a choice, they should be the ones to come to the conclusion that they needed the help, and see the consequences of their decisions.

Us GMs want as much spice as possible to move the players. Just don't force things.

Such a terrible and misleading headline... to clickbait at least do it in a way that entices people to click your article.

The cartridges don't have enough read speed to run the game properly, as simple as that. Cartridges installing the game would be nice, but depends on Nintendo allowing it.
