My old #introduction got lost somewhere

German, he/him, 40s, living in Poland (#lodz). I work in IT and do some geeky computer stuff on the side (#usenet, #uucp, #irc)

My main hobby are #ttrpgs (#osr #dnd, #traveller, #shadowrun) and similar (#minipainting, #boardgames) but I also do writing and reading (#fantasy, #sf) and #cooking

I will be complaining about #kids, #cats, lack of #coffee, and the general state of the world

I do get weirdly obsessed with topics sometimes. But don't we all?


Seasonal Spells for #ToddlerDnD

Toddler's Vicious Snot: This spell initially impacts the member of the party with the lowest HP. It lasts for 2 days. After that it affects all other members of the party, is immune to Healing, and you need a 20+ Con saving throw to recover from it.

Fall Back: This spell interrupts the target's Long Rest one hour too soon. Every time. For about two weeks.

Toddler's Disappearing Accessories: This spell affects hats, gloves, scarves, and boots.

Spells I would like to learn:

Dress Toddler: cantrip that replaces Pajamas with Outside Clothes instantly

Clean Sidewalk: Prestidgitation for the meltdown area, including soundproofing

Find Toy: the one that is immediately needed at bedtime even though we have not played with it for months

Remove the Ew: makes all the "ew" bits disappear from the plate of food (e.g. the shredded cheese from the spaghetti)

Sleep

Mind Spike: a spell that deals excruciating psychic damage from a distance. Damage increases 1d8 with every level. Available to Warlocks, Sorcerers, and Wizards.

Parental Mind Spike: as above, but reserved for parents who are trying to put the toddler to sleep when someone revvs a car engine and blasts music outside.

#AtoZChallenge2024: Sunday Special, Introduction to Dungeons & Dragons Editions

Tomorrow begins the April Blogging A to Z. I will discuss the 50th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons. So today is a guide to the various Editions. #AtoZChallenge #DnD #ttrpg

Philostratus keeps on giving:

A huge part of the book is about Palamedes, the Greek hero who got himself completely written out of the Iliad.
For dissing Odysseus too much.

No wonder Odysseus was pissed, there are some great one-liners in there :D

Oh, and the guy invented writing, numbers, and dice. In case you needed a #pagan patron of #DnD players.

#ttrpg #mythology #books


Finally watched #Damsel

And it hurt me both as a #DnD player and as a storyteller at the same time

THAT DRAGON TALKS, ROLL YOUR PERSUASION CHECK

#ouch #storytelling


I recommend the #Uncaged anthology of #DnD adventure modules. It actually puts a nice feminist spin on a lot of monster tropes. Kids I played them with really enjoyed them.


I’m rather happy to see #DnD make the pages of Ars Technica. My RSS feeds are having a crossover moment.

"NOT TIRED"
Instead of taking a Short Rest, the Toddler class character can spend the equivalent time inside a bubble of self-generated chaos.
During this time, the Toddler regains all HP and spell slots by siphoning them off the adjacent Parent.

Parent characters then temporarily function as zombie familiars until their next Long Rest.

#ToddlerDnD #parenting #DnD


My #DnD group is doing an all-villains party adventure, just for the heck of it. I never really play villains, it's not really my jam and I suck at it.
So now we have a party of necromancers, assassins, warlocks, mob hitmen... and Karen, my "Thoughts and Prayers" Cleric 🤷‍♀️ 😆

When you multiclass into Little Old Lady, you automatically gain the "Disrupt Toddler Tantrums" feat. Approaching a toddler cancels their Rage, and changes their condition either to Shy, or I'm A Very Good Kid. 😄

#ToddlerDnD #DnD #parenting


The Edge of the Bathtub

It's a magical threshold between scenes in the adventure. Whichever direction you try to cross over it with the toddler, you automatically enter combat.

#ToddlerDnD #parenting #DnD


I had a dream last night where a demon showed up at my house and tried to scare me every time I went outside. In the end I decided to respond to the demon like my toddler responds to me.

"RAWR!"
"Huh?"
"RAWR!"
"HUH?!"
"RAAAWR!"
"Why?"
"RAAAAWR!"
"Why?"
"RAWR!"
"But why?!?!"

In the end the demon got annoyed and left.

New #ToddlerDnD Spell: Vicious Inquiry?

#parenting #DnD #ThisIsYourBrainOnParenting


Many moons ago (i.e., so long ago I don't want to say because then I'd just feel ancient) Dragon Magazine ran a Mother's Day special in which they gave rules for a "Mother" prestige class. One of their abilities were "Power Word: Middle Name."

... Huh. What do you know? Google tells me that issue of Dragon Magazine is available online:

Me, after 60 minutes of bedtime struggle bus:

"I'm just going to pretend I'm asleep. I'm not going to react to ANYTHING."

Me: *immediately fails all Stealth checks*

Me, introducing the new clock-nightlight gadget to the child:

"See, when the sheep's eyes are open and the light is green, it's play time. When she sheep's eyes are closed and the light is red, it's sleep time."

Child, already prying the sheep's eyes open with her hands:

"So if the sheep's eyes are open I don't have to sleep?..."

Me, making mental note:

"... I am not DMing for this kid. Ever." 😅

Child, playing with the color coded dice: "PINK! PINK!"

Me: "That's not how dice work, honey. You can't just tell them what you want to roll."

Child: *rolls (actually rolls) pink 3 times in a row, gives me a shit-eating grin* "PINK!"

Me: "Welp, playing D&D with you will be fun..."

"So if I eat all the veggies, and put away the puzzle pieces I spilled, and wash my hands, and go to bed nicely, THEN can I please cast Mage Hand to reach into the TV and pet that dog?"

"For the last time, I am your mother, not your warlock patron."

Today's #ToddlerDnD moment:

"I cast Featherfall."
"You are not a spellcaster."
"FEATHERFALL!"
"That's not..."
"See? Works every time."

"Are you sure? I'm gonna try anyway."
