It is literally a secret rule of D&D, hidden in the core rules, that I can take over as DM of any game at any moment so long as I am physically present with the DM or majority of the group and capable of rolling dice. I can confirm. This was written into the secret code when 5E was born. It also says that when I’m playing in any game anywhere I can always drop the phrase, “Mike told me that was legal in 5E” and it is accepted as canon.

You know, @JeremyECrawford–@NathanBStewart told me a story about some ball bearings and the PHB once during #TOA. I wonder if you’be heard of the story to what I’m referring…

What page would that be on? Just in case I ever see you walking up to my table

It's a tricky one to find. You need to first cast read magic. Then it's obvious. https://t.co/j0g7Syiyx3

Can you come take over my game for a night then, or is it RAW that you have to stumble upon the game? it's gotta be a random encounter thing
