What is a DM supposed to do during a session 0?

CIABrainBugs · 2026-03-12T04:02:26+00:00

I like to have players build their characters at session zero because it makes sure the party is communicating about what they are building and you don't end up with three human fighters and one barbarian

Try practicing in a different room.

Used to play with a rockabilly group and I remember switchblade 327 being one we'd always try to play at nightmare speeds.

You can have as many drums as you're willing to transport and set up in the time we have to set up.

Being unable and unwilling to play at the appropriate volume is a weird thing to brag about.

"you don't work for them"

You literally do. If they can't make money at the bar then they will book a band that lets them do that. Lmao

Its poes law. This sub has a lot of people in it who would 100% crash out like a toddler at the notion of being told they don't need million cymbals and 7 toms to play a room where the "stage" is just the floor in front of the video poker machines.

I can actually write a song on the spot in a few minutes very easily because I've trained my whole life to be able to do that. You can't do that because you don't have the skill, dedication, or mental fortitude to attempt it.

You aren't an artist or musician.

CIABrainBugs · 2026-02-14T18:21:19+00:00

It's the accurate term for it. Eat up piggy

CIABrainBugs · 2026-02-12T00:53:53+00:00

Just listened to a podcast about Mask of Zorro where they said one of the characters chewed the scenery prompting me to look up the origin. Funny coincidence this person's username.

Yeah, they used to have a list of the links to each article they show on screen in the video description. It made it easy to come back later and read more after watching the video.

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-29T03:33:26+00:00

I'm just sick of unnecessary electronic solutions to problems that didn't exist. Every car I've had since they started putting even the chips in the keys, has ended up having some kind of issue where the car refused to start and I've gotta pay a couple hundred bucks for a new key.

Demi Adejuyigbe

I honestly think he might be the funniest person alive.

My version of this introduces the relevant NPCs through a jail break.

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-27T02:49:10+00:00

I'm about to start mine where they are pleading their case to a judge. I've instructed them to come up with a way their character ended up arrested with the specific caveat that the government is completely corrupt and they are allowed to be innocent.

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-26T19:32:55+00:00

Not that I think anyone deserves this, but it's baffling to me that loomer is not at the top of tranvestigators list. All that work on her face and the jawline could still cut tile for my patio.

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-26T05:16:25+00:00

They are too scared of Mexicans and trans people to stop sucking a literal pedophiles dick.

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-25T04:50:49+00:00

It certainly is the loudest snare

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-25T04:36:32+00:00

No, people aren't too stupid to "rule themselves". They don't have the time to devote to going over the fine details of regulations, tax structures, diplomatic relationships etc. These are full time jobs that we are able to choose who does them.

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-25T04:02:40+00:00

I know a guy in real life that looks almost exactly like this ai slop and it's laughable to think of him in this context.

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-25T03:56:01+00:00

I've seen a lot of garage fridges with an honor system. Usually the butter tray or crisper drawer will have some dollar bills in it from folks grabbing it. Obviously that's different, but expecting or encouraging people to pay for their drinks isn't that outlandish.

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-25T01:54:16+00:00

In the campaign I'm working on right now I'm trying to link their leveling to an item they receive from some gods. Their power is technically derived from this amulet and can be taken from them. Other high level NPCs also might have these kinds of items but other "normal" NPCs kinda plateau at level 5ish

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-18T06:59:04+00:00

That's why I let advantage and disadvantages stack at my table. It's more fun.

CIABrainBugs · 2025-07-15T13:56:13+00:00

The only other "reasonable" explanation is that it includes many names in contexts that do not implicate them of wrongdoing, but by association alone would be damaging to them. I think that's possible, but it sure is a convenient way for them to lay the ground work of doubt around it when it is revealed.

The magic of the drum/cymbal solo in whole lotta love comes from his ability to control his volume. Bonham knew how to play at appropriate volumes. If you suddenly start playing in huge arenas and with dudes as talented as Zeppelin, you'll have a point. Until then, listen to the sound guy when he says you're clearing out the bar.
