My obsession with Waterdeep continues. Mine, too, as it happens. ;}

Indeed! Never gets old!
And seeing a Waterdeep map plush blanket for sale at Spirit Hallowe'en a season back made my library co-workers and patrons think I'd finally ARRIVED.— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) November 12, 2021
@JeremyECrawford It's circular, but if I "pop out" to shoot, isn't that the same as walking out to shoot? pic.twitter.com/G9gfN3jnmR

@undrhil Shooting from cover and running out into the open aren't the same thing.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 27, 2017
@undrhilhow is the first question on that picture different from my question? That person is referring to poking your head out to see your target and firing—that is, firing from cover.

@JeremyECrawford Contagion spell, Flesh Rot: "vulnerability to all damage" cancels Immunities to damage of the creature? Which applies/wins?
— Draconis (@DerynDraconis) February 16, 2017
A game effect deprives you of a feature, such as damage immunity, only if the deprivation is explicit in the effect or in another rule. #DnD https://t.co/Qnfq0bhKXr

@Miztuh_JConvoluted begets convolution…? Which part do you find convoluted?
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 16, 2017
@JeremyECrawford I think the ? was if that effect of Contagion overrides latent creature immunities. Spell strength vs natural traits.
— Joshua Frost (@Miztuh_J) February 16, 2017
Contagion doesn't say it nullifies immunities, so it doesn't nullify them. No rule causes vulnerability to nullify immunity. #DnD https://t.co/33raKJCdTS
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 16, 2017
@Miztuh_JSo unless stated precisely otherwise, Immunity is always > forces trying to impose Vulnerability? If I got that right…? That's correct. One effect doesn't turn off another unless a rule says it does.
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) February 16, 2017
@JeremyECrawford so then the ? remains. Flesh rot=vulnerability, but racial immunities=immune in place. So does damage happen?
— Joshua lambert (@Jlambert384) February 16, 2017
If you're immune to an instance of damage, you take 0 damage. If you're also vulnerable to that damage, you take no damage: 0 x 2 = 0. #DnD https://t.co/w4pxueIxNf

One thing I didn’t expect to hear from people about my GMTip #1 for DnD Dungeon Mastering is “don’t read the DMG.” Please explain to me how not reading the basic DnD rules is bad for playing DnD?
— Satine Phoenix – ORIGINS Special Guest! (@satinephoenix) January 6, 2022
Lol. I’m so confused I even wrote the sentence wrong. It’s how is it bad to read the DMG if you want to play dnd? One thing is for certain, I’m enjoying learning about the different kind of players that are in the community! Thanks everyone for sharing your perspective!
— Satine Phoenix – ORIGINS Special Guest! (@satinephoenix) January 6, 2022
Thank you for your comments. We don’t have to agree. I’m happy to have this dialog. For those who hate gatekeeping, here is the FREE #dnd Basic Rules @Wizards_DnD https://t.co/fGcQBxiuX7
And thank you DMs & GMs for being the storytellers for your table. We learn from each other!— Satine Phoenix – ORIGINS Special Guest! (@satinephoenix) January 7, 2022
Sometimes I go back and read the DMG and *still* learn things. It's do painful to see folks give bad advice and potentially make DMing harder or even turn folks off from the game.
— Justice Ramin Arman (@justicearman) January 6, 2022
this is extra ridiculous because I feel like some 60% of beginner DM questions I see asked on Reddit and Facebook groups and stuff are literally already answered in the DMG!! I’ve even been planning a video about “problems you didn’t know the DMG has already solved” lolI think the problem with the DMG is that it has advanced topics that may confuse beginning DMs. I feel that if the DMG were to be divided into sections for beginner, advanced, and veteran Dungeon Masters, it would be more user-friendly. Similar to school text books. Basics first.
— Wally DM (@wallyd2) January 6, 2022
Literally answered in the DMG!
— Satine Phoenix – ORIGINS Special Guest! (@satinephoenix) January 6, 2022
I think some of the miscommunication may have been in the wording “skimp out on,” which could imply that people are lazy or cutting corners if they DM without reading the whole book.
I think it’s good to encourage people to dive into DMing whenever they feel comfortable— Hmm. I hadn’t considered that. It seems odd to me that the word Skimp would Trigger people. But that’s good knowledge. Thank you.

Making games is no game.
— Shawn Merwin (@shawnmerwin) February 8, 2022
I know you probably didn’t expect a question about this, but I have one from a person not in the industry:
Does your love for gaming empower you, or does the work make you enjoy gaming less? That is a great question, and the answer is yes and no, and no and yes. My love of gaming definitely empowers and powers me, but the work =/= gaming, so there has to be more. And the work doesn't make me enjoy gaming less, but it definitely changes the way I look at games.
— Shawn Merwin (@shawnmerwin) February 8, 2022
The worst parts are when the work keeps me from gaming for whatever reason. That's why, when I start to feel negative, I absolutely force myself to play games again. It's restorative and reminds me why we all do this!

@Kassuhday making a loud noise doesn't end the invisibility spell. Attacking does. Does knocking over a lamp count as an attack?
— The Inexperienced DM (@inexperienceddm) February 28, 2017
An attack involves an attack roll or doing something that the rules call an attack, like grappling or shoving. #DnD https://t.co/ccEfVUTaL1

@Natronmeanz99 @SageAdviceDnD @mikemearls can a wizard cast conjure elemental than cast planar binding on the conjured elemental?
Thanks Yes. Planar binding even refers to the possibility of another spell summoning the creature.— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) March 10, 2017
Your homebrew #dnd magic item doesn't need ten different features! I'd take a short, simple magic item with a strong theme over a half-page uncommon item just about any day.
