“So, Lord, is your secret something that might be useful in, ah, slaughtering people?”
“That’s indiscreetly asked, Palonder. Why do you want to know?”
“It just came into my head when I saw the two invaders ahead of us, Lord. … #epicfantasy

… The ones with the spears pointed at me. They’re advancing, so I hope your magic is quick.”
“Palonder, Palonder, WHAT have I just told you about speaking too openly? I’ll HAVE to kill them now.”#epicfantasy 3)
“You were going to anyway, weren’t you?”
“Yes, but now it’s justified, and that’s a LOT less fun.”#epicfantasy

Create Your Own Eberron D&D Adventures @ Dungeon Masters Guild

Hi @JeremyECrawford thanks for being awesome. Also, will the Warforged be included in the Eberron book that’s coming this November? Asking for me. 🤖

Did Madeiron interact with the populace? What did they think of him? Would he be a welcome site in a Waterdeep tavern?

Hi Ed. I have some more Madeiron questions, sorry he’s my favorite! 😀Did he interact with the populace? What did they think of him? Would he be a welcome site in a Waterdeep tavern? Did he ever uses his awesome strength to entertain local children? Thanks! Hi! Yes, he shopped and walked the streets like a commoner whenever not on bodyguard duty. He was well liked, as a quiet, friendly, fair, and gentle man (yes, he liked to play with children, and "boost" them in one palm to sit up high and see the world from there).#Realmslore

And yes, he'd be welcome in a tavern (especially by the tavernmasters [barkeepers], because he could and would restore order if brawls were occurring, or quell one from happening. He was a "gentle giant" but NOT dim-witted; he noticed small swift movements…#Realmslore

…without seeming to look for them or spot them, so could conduct himself superbly in a coming-from-all-sides fight. Being able to lift and throw tables effortlessly, and chairs with occupants in them, helps too. ;}#Realmslore

Its perfectly fine to play sub-optimally for the fun of the story and the pace of the game

#dnd tip: Its perfectly fine to play sub-optimally for the fun of the story and the pace of the game.

Agreed. A handful of my RPG regrets come from playing optimally at the expense of a great story moment.

If your DM is bought in, it’s easy to prioritize those moments without undue risk. I should have trusted my DM more in those moments, one in particular he and I discuss often. https://t.co/zW8k7knhlp

And that’s not to say that I didn’t trust him, I just didn’t think about it at the time. There was a very clear safest course of action that we as the players opted for, and in immediate hindsight, shouldn’t have.

Missed opportunity.

— Dan Dillon (@Dan_Dillon_1) June 19, 2019

All I can really say about that decision is beholders are scary.

Giving them time to talk means giving them time to look at you, which means, you know, death. 💀

Why wasn’t the school of enchantment called Diplomancy?

Why wasn’t the school of enchantment called Diplomancy? Using magic to make people do what you want isn’t really diplomacy. It’s rhetoric. 🥴🤗

[Just before the onrushing spears ventilate Palonder’s gut, Wolf reaches out from under his arm, behind him, and works a spell that blasts the invaders to flying bones and glistening goo.]
“See? Fun.”#epicfantasy

“Do you try to derive fun from everything, Lord?”
“Of course. It helps keep me sane.”
“Oh. I can’t help but observe that what you call ‘fun,’ others might deem ‘sick.’ 3)
