During the development of AD&D 2e in the 1980s, the Golden Girls served as the template for the ideal adventuring party. #truedndfacts pic.twitter.com/KMLonRh60Y

Funny, I thought this was the Ur-adventuring party. pic.twitter.com/d6TRfYpeKD

It's close, but animal companions are a little advanced in D&D – probably the iconic party for people who have played a bit

Funny how many of the same “fans” who insist on gatekeeping via rules complexity and lore density also have a problem with women in tabletop gaming.

Hey guys! You’re all fired from D&D. Find another game.

Hey mike, question. In your opinion as long as the players are having fun and agree, is it impossible to “break” the game by changing a huge rule?I agree with that – d&d might be the shared starting point, but your group may have needed some shift to really make it work

So, if you are a rules or lore expert and do not want to be a gatekeeper, what do you do? My experience is that it helps to take a mentoring mindset, rather than coaching. Here’s a starting point: https://t.co/8uOHFnGmBZ

The key to mentoring is allowing the newcomer to remain the focus. Ask lots of questions. Focus on what the newbie wants. A coaching mindset is more goal or standards oriented. Mentoring is about the journey, while coaching is about achieving a specific outcome.

Damn how can it be that you, someone I’ve been mad at for years can write the best tweet in the history of Twitter. I apologise for at least part of my anger No need to apologize. I'm sure I did something fairly stupid that earned it for good reason, and for that I apologize.

You keep hating on non-magical healing so I can’t have a proper warlord in 5e. Can I get an apology for that 🙂 we’ll never say never to adding that to 5e…

I was just rereading the Gunslinger v1.2, and I noticed that there’s no action use tied to Deadeye Shot. Does that mean the character can use it repeatedly to get advantage on every attack in a turn?As long as they have the grit points to spend, they can

Two of my D&D crew are having a baby together. It’s due in January. Anyone got any cool baby D&D gift ideas? @ChrisPerkinsDnD have you seen anything good in your busy timeline? 🍼 👶 🎲 🐉

How ‘bout a polyhedral dice mobile to hang above the crib? #WOTCstaff https://t.co/d5QZtpGYXU
