Sometimes DMing is giving a description to the players, saying you’ll make a visual in between sessions to help.

Then when you send it to players, it’s very different to what they thought!

So just good learning for #TTRPG players: Always check in!

It’s that time of year again folks!
It’s Advent! And once again the Bird and Blend Advent Calendar is back!

Which also means strap in for 24 days of Tim posting a selfie (maybe) with a different mug for each tea!

One of many #MCMBirmingham highlights was the look of shock/surprise on @johnnyohnny.bsky.social’s face for knowing the Japanese release date for Pokémon Red and Green.

It was either that, or a guy in a priests collar knowing the answer(!)

Badenoch does not know what she's on about. Jesus said that when we feed the hungry, clothe the naked and so on, we do this for him. Moreover, the welfare state stems from Christian principles and a desire to make the world more like the reign of God, in which all are valued as irreplaceable to God.

Players are sending me their ideas for new characters in the new campaign.

I kinda love how we basically have two groups formed:
One Group is clearly goal driven folks who need to achieve the task.
The other is just loving the idea of discovering whatever they come across.

I LOVE THIS!

Back to the #Drakkenneheim game this evening!
Around 3 sessions of prepping for an Epic Boss battle, gathering allies, items, etc.

Session Today: The Epic Boss Battle!
It lasted 4 rounds. Most of the parties actions were to press a button to keep the Harpy Queen restrained and prone.
I love DnD!
