It's All True.

Yes, it's true. We're porn stars and play D&D.

So last time we played, the PCs faced off against a tyrannosaurus in a cavern knee-deep in a pool of blood.

So this week, in honor of game day, they made a dinosaur-island covered in mashed potatoes. This is because they are awesome.

Here's video of Charlotte Stokely pouring a gravy volcano over it...



This is the situation as it stood last weekend, as per Stokely's instagram....



The module's available in The Store if you want it...



They beat the dinosaur by making it fight its own shadow...


Then advanced into the Palace of the Necropharoah!





Where they ran into a sphinx (played here by a manticore because I don't have a sphinx miniature). The sphinx will answer questions, we'll see if the players manage to ask anything useful.

This isn't a diss, in the game Jeff runs that I play online, we've had 2 wishes for weeks and still can't decide on anything useful to do with them.

It's just that at this point, most things we can wish for we can get the normal way and it's more fun.

Yippee!

You should use your first wish to "know the best wish that will accomplish the most to fulfill our desires that has the least amount of negative effects upon the world, us, or the things we care about". Then use that knowledge for your second wish.

A nice DM might let you word it so you can do all that with just one wish, but you have to be very careful how you phrase it.

@Zy

Well since our PCs all want different things and Jeff gets pretty improvisational once the PCs are more powerful than the low-level parties his sandbox is meant to accomodate, I'm afraid it'd just result in an adventure exactly as custom-made as Jeff has time for in the week between sessions.

Yo Zak,

I just read the prepublished version of Clio Weisman's study on your case. I deeply impressed. You were right all the way, and Jeff was right in supporting you. The amount of CRAP you had to endure makes my head spin.

I think it's about time for you to return to our hobby, in a big way.

All the best,
Norbert

@Norbert

Thanks--If you think so, the place to say that is not here on my blog, but in forums where saying it will start a fight

Jordan dijo...

Hey Zak, regarding the comment above, when I made a post in your defense on a forum you said that you’d prefer that such actions not be taken without running them by you first. Is that still the case?

In any event, it’s not just that it’ll cause a fight, but on more prominent forums the content will simply be deleted and the user blocked from the site. I can no longer post on RPG.net or ENWorld, which is no loss to me anyways and was worth it.

Zak Sabbath dijo...

@Jordan

The more I know the better.

Jordan dijo...

That’s understandable.

I'm so jealous of you for actually having a campaign going on lol.
Are you still selling some of your miscellaneous rpg notes like you were a while back? I dig your art style, I wish I could make rpg notes that looked nearly as cool.

Zak Sabbath dijo...

@tre hardest

I am still selling my stuff:

Do you make props like these in all your game sessions ?
At my table, we – sadly – never do.

Zak Sabbath dijo...

@peggy

not all, but we like to mix it up when we have time

This reminds me of the dinosaur birthday cakes we had as kids.

I used to watch your actual plays when they were posted on the Escapist, and they have been the only APs I have been able to stand to watch. I think the reason is that you all actually acted like you enjoyed playing the game. I have long felt that Crit roll is to playing RPGs as porn is to actual sex. People going through the motions, acting as if they enjoy one another, much of it scripted.

coral wave dijo...

yeah... this won't fly at my table. my players will take one week MAX to ask the most game breaking stuff that I never even think about. That's how they broke the game at least 5 times already, learned secrets I thought were going to remain well. secret for a long time, changed history twice, came back from the dead (almost every time) and nw intent to reuinte a long torn goddess

I think about giving them the wish from BtaM because they cannot agree on things easily on the spot

Adrian the Bard dijo...

the island is gorgeous i actually thought it was an actual prop before reading.
what of playing on the books thou? were you using them to represent walls (i am unsure as there are wall like thingies on them too)?

Zak Sabbath dijo...

sometimes a book is a room boundary

Alister Fa dijo...

Good lord, and I’m often worried what players will do with 1 wish spell, let alone 2…!

Travis' Whimseys dijo...

Hmmm, why does that dinosaur look so familiar...

Dauvois Jules dijo...

Do you happen to know what range of miniature the winged-helmed swordman is from ? I love that mini.

krillinfan dijo...

Looks like a super fun session!

Zak Sabbath dijo...

@Dauvois Jules

That is one of Stokely's miniatures--its a Ral Partha anti-paladin from, I believe, their 3-stage series https://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/1157932-3-stage%2C%20Anti-paladin%2C%20Character%2C%20January%202023%2C%20Ral%20Partha.html

Dauvois Jules dijo...

Yes! Thank you .
