A D&D party is just half a dozen people who each think of themselves as the only adult in the room.

I appreciate the sentiment, but has any bard, sorcerer, or barbarian ever considered themselves the only adult?

Considers themself the only adult: Cleric, Monk, Paladin, Wizard

Knows they’re maniacs (will not stop): Barbarian, Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock

Depends on the day tbh: Druid, Fighter, Ranger, Rogue

This is the kind of content I’m here for.

Chaotic Stupid

yourplayersaidwhat:

Context: 3e D&D, RPG and board games club at my high school, it was our rogue’s second campaign ever, the wizard had been playing for years, we were fighting an adult green dragon as our first encounter, we were all level 10 (my brother was the DM I have no clue what he was thinking)

Rogue: I’m going to headbutt the dragon!
Rest of the party OOC: are you insane
Rogue OOC: I’m chaotic neutral
Wizard OOC: THAT’S NOT CHAOTIC NEUTRAL THAT’S CHAOTIC STUPID!
Everyone else in the room including the people at the other table is playing board games: laughs hysterically

A player draws the Balance card from a Deck of Many Things in a campaign where we are VERY lax on alignment

yourplayersaidwhat:

DM: “So it says if you are true neutral or unaligned, then this card has no effect on you.”

Player 1 (who drew the card:) “Well we never even gave him an alignment when you helped me make this sheet, but he definitely acts true neutral.”

Player 2, looking at player 1’s sheet: “Yeah, uh all you’ve got written here is ‘weed.’”

Reblog this with your favourite D&D house rules

A few of my
personal favourites are:

  • The DM rolls a d10
    for every new PC/NPC to see how attractive they are
  • If a player is
    absent from a session the DM will take their turns during combat and it’s
    referred to as ‘Jaegering’
  • Getting two nat 20s
    when rolling at advantage/disadvantage is a ‘legendary success’ and something
    godlike and occasionally encounter-breaking gets to happen
  • You’re only allowed
    to cast Thunderwave if you stick your hands out in front of you and yell
    THUNDERWAVE
  • if your character dies, you have to hand over your character sheet to the DM, who tears it up while sad music plays in the background
  • Our ‘luck’ d20 roll at the start of every new day of travelling has been replaced with ‘roll for breakfast without incident’

A few more to add now that I’m in a different campaign as well!

  • When it’s a player’s birthday, all the other PCs will give their character an in-game gift of a small magic item (or prank item. It has to be in character)
  • Play Of The Game – at the end of each session, the party does a vote on who gets PotG, which can be for a really good bit of RP, something badass in combat or getting out of a tricky situation – the DM plays the Overwatch music and that player gets an extra 10% of whatever XP we earned that session
  • If left undescribed, an NPC has the DM’s face.
