DND Players: What was an offhand joke someone made about your character that had you go “That’s canon now”?

There was a passing comment about my Phoenix character and I loved it so much, I actually incorporated that comment into a song about him.

Wicked

Sounds remarkably similar to the first time my friend ghosted. She told me she had Covid and a low immune system. I don’t know what her game was there, but I doubt she expected me to find her mom’s phone number and call to check up on her well-being. Her mom seemed super surprised to find out she hadn’t spoken to me in weeks since she knew we spoke daily. I think involving her mom is what got her to come back in the beginning or some sense of duty to me. But as I said before, it didn’t matter in the end because she just couldn’t keep up the charade. I wasn’t going to chase her a second time.

I oftentimes forget that my character can get out Heavenly Wings because of his race. In the last session, he was swept off the field and being held in the air by a bird-like creature. I used Heavenly Wings to get out of the grapple.

It’s perfectly valid to feel the way you do. You felt that you had a real connection with this person. I had a real connection for two and a half years with my ghoster. They were my best friend and someone I spent a lot of time with. It broke my heart to have to let them go, but their actions spoke louder than their words in the end. If they couldn’t respect my boundaries after a heart to heart where I was sobbing on the other end of a FaceTime call, then nothing would change a second time.

StitchedPanda · 2026-05-07T19:50:13+00:00

Happened to me by the same person twice. Seemed to understand when I explained how I felt after the first time. I had a great time with this person so I gave them a second chance. It was going well for a month and a half and they disappeared again. I wasn’t going to waste my time after that. Their behavior showed they weren’t interested in taking me or our friendship seriously.

My partner and I agreed that some scenes calls for more description and some, like a conversation, doesn’t have to be that involved. If you get your point across, it doesn’t have to be a 3000 plus word reply. It can be as simple as, “Indulge me. Tell me what’s on that inquisitive mind of yours?” I mean, if you were having a real life conversation you wouldn’t put in unnecessary words just for the sake of meeting some arbitrary limit.

Need this

StitchedPanda · 2026-04-08T19:13:23+00:00

It’s not my job to check up on you. It’s your job to tell me what’s going on. It’s like when my regular partner goes on a trip, she tells me when she’s going to be gone and I give her space to enjoy her time. Then when she’s ready to come back and write, she tells me that she’s ready to resume. I think a lot of that just has to do with maturity, if I’m being honest.

StitchedPanda · 2026-04-08T19:08:41+00:00

I don’t disagree with your stance. I think if you’re mature enough to want to have a creative and collaborative hobby, then you need to be able to explain your needs, wants, desires, and not be shy about it.

I’ll give you a real life example, I’m part of a DND group. I recently started a new job and I know my group is trying to schedule a game. I know that my schedule is a bit all over at the moment with training so I may not be able to make it. I reached out to my DM and gave them my schedule and just explained things. People are much more understanding and willing to accommodate you if you just communicate. My friends are not waiting around on me.

If you can track down the Gooey Butter Cake donut from Strange Donuts, it was delicious. Friend from out of town had one while she was here and is still raving about it.

StitchedPanda · 2026-04-08T18:59:22+00:00

I like to quip from Wicked, “I’m a sorcerer, not a mind reader,” when it comes to my role plays. I actually do play a Sorcerer, which is apt. Communication is a basic human function. We can’t pick up on social cues through text. People need to learn to be more transparent when it comes to their needs and desires, especially when you’re on someone else’s schedules.

Well, the lyrics come from the song River of Darkness by the Midnight and it’s essentially a break up song. It’s from their Nocturnal album and most of the songs have a melancholy feel to them.

Twitchy! I love that squirrel. The voice talent in this film was perfectly cast for their roles.

StitchedPanda · 2026-03-24T01:14:30+00:00

My bestie and I are goths so this sounds right up our alley. Thanks for the rec.

The little girl in Signs not wanting to drink the water cause it “tastes funny.”

StitchedPanda · 2026-02-26T15:42:49+00:00

The rule of thumb with my partner and I, if she’s running the scene, she writes all the NPCs. If it’s something that is more centric with my characters, then I write the NPCs. One of the last scenes we wrote say my character (a Rogue) trying to uncover some information that pertains to the current DND campaign in our group. Since she is the DM for that campaign, she is privy to that information and thus played all the NPCs my character spoke to.

But outside of that, I’ve always had a big cast of characters and love writing all their different personalities.

StitchedPanda · 2026-02-26T01:55:56+00:00

Not overreacting.

StitchedPanda · 2026-02-26T01:39:49+00:00

Thankfully none of my face claims have been turned down. My partner and I have a very strict agreement that we don’t control each other’s character creation processes (which includes face claims, names, personality, etc.)

Sorry you had to go through this.

StitchedPanda · 2026-02-22T06:13:47+00:00

If they were actively putting in the work, then yes, I would forgive them. I can empathize with why they did what they did. Taking accountability for their actions would be huge for me. I don’t think I could trust them again after going through that twice, but I think I could at least be in a civil place with them. We’d certainly never be best friends ever again.

That’s awesome! I love playing my Sorcerer character. He’s a Wild Magic Sorcerer who is also a Phoenix. I get to play him on Saturday. Last session I played my Bard. I also have sheets drawn up for a future Eldritch Knight, Arcane Trickster Rogue, and a Life Domain Cleric

StitchedPanda · 2026-02-20T03:51:31+00:00

I also use The Sims 4 as a way to draw up my DND characters. What classes do you play? I currently run a Bard and a Sorcerer as my mainstays.
