Conversations with the 9yo DM:

9yo DM: Do you think Orcus could defeat Demogorgon?

Me: DnD right? Not Stranger Things?

9yo DM: Yes! Come on!

Me: Does Orcus have his wand?

9yo DM: No.

Me: Are both Aameul and Hethradiah on board?

9yo DM: They are united.

Me: Demogorgon wins

What about a small bird like an oxpecker?

Exactly

Conversations with the 9yo DM:

9yo DM: What questions do you ask a new player to see if they will fit in your campaign?

Me: Do you want to play DnD?

9yo DM: What if they are a jerk? Or wanna make the campaign all about themselves?

Me: Then I don’t invite them back.

I absolutely loved Covington Cross and was so bummed it only lasted a single season.

Growing up playing DnD in the 80s and 90s we always played in the living room. DnD books were meant to roll dice on.

Wasted! We drove to Vegas last year and played 8 straight hours of DnD.

Exactly. Having to set up everything before you can play gets tedious to a kid.

Monocles create such an interesting feel to a character.

Conversations with the 9yo DM:

9yo DM: I really think theater of the mind is best.

Me: What are your reasons?

9yo DM: You can hang out and play on the couch without a table in the way or you can play in the car or on a hike. No need for maps and minis in every game.

Exactly!

The wyrmling said, “Ooh! I should figure some of those out.”

Because those combos make encounters more fun?

Have a wonderful birthday Tony!!

I will cut my wife’s sandwiches but devour mine before the knife can even reach them.

That’s valid. But why cut your sandwich at all?

The diagonal cut point makes it easier to dip into soup and eat without making a mess.

Five year ago! It was a blast adventuring with Singe.

Natural Consequences to Actions in TTRPGs

I have a new post up onTTRPGkids about how to build satisfying consequences to player actions in TTRPGs while scaling to the needs of said players (i.e. you may need different strategies for adults vs. tweens vs. little kids lighting things on fire) 🔥

6 black and white page divider illustrations with a different theme for each one from dragon fire to swords to thorny branches.

Throwback to a custom page divider commission ✨

It is really quite amazing.

My neighbor rehabilitates injured hawks and falcons and my 9 year old son loves to see them as they get healthy and return to nature.

Sounds like an excellent impulse purchase.

DnD, board games, movies, good food! It was a great day.

Thank you. He always finds a way to make me laugh.

Thank you!

Thanks!
