"You gave @calamitypunk.bsky.social a potion that did *that*, @erininthemorning.com. This is your own fault." #Aurendor #DnD

The DM was giving @calamitypunk.bsky.social a dire warning that because he'd gotten a Nat20 on his previous roll, she was lowering the DC for the last check from a 30 to a 27. As she was going through the warning, he got nervous and did the roll mid-sentence.

He got the fucking 30. #Aurendor #DnD

On a positive note, we've gotten REALLY good at escaping various jails!

Two separate resurrection attempts for a beloved character failed. I use Matt Mercer's resurrection rules, and both the revivify and resurrection ritual got natural 1s.

The dice have been BRUTAL to my players this campaign.

Hi there!

My big project these days is Retrograde, a retrofuturist RPG exploring a universe driven by blood, ink, and occult printmaking! It's got quite a big nostalgia for classic scifi too :) we're live on Kickstarter for #Zinequest right now!
