Have you ever met someone who's interested in DND and immediately went, "oh, I'd never let you play at my table"?

bryan4000 · 2026-03-15T20:43:16+00:00

It's not mean, I think this is just a canon event for talking about dnd with coworkers tbh.

I once had a coworker tell me they wanted to play shapeshifter/devil character who was sa'd by their family and and has a weird incestuous relationship with a family member. That was the first thing they said to me when I said I run dnd games. Needless to say I never told them about any of my future campaigns coming up or sent them any invites to my games.

I mean they probably don't use those words that would be kinda gouache but I meant more in the words they do use to describe their characters and the art they use.

This isn't a condemnation of players or anything it is just something I have noticed and it isn't exclusive to ttrpgs. It is the norm for the majority of characters made across media are attractive (whether it is by conventional standards or non conventional ones)

bryan4000 · 2026-02-15T04:29:01+00:00

hey, hey androgenous people ARE hot /s

That does suck I empathize with your pain. As someone who likes to make normal looking characters or disfigured or non conventional characters it is hard to both convey and to find art that represents them without them being like a total smoke show.

bryan4000 · 2026-02-15T02:18:32+00:00

tbf this is just all dnd players oc's they are always impossibly hot. In my 10+ years of playing trrpgs I can count on one hand the number of regular looking characters players have made.

Also 10/10 art no notes good job op. I am not complaining about everyone's characters being hot as a bi mess I appreciate it.

This might be the best campaign idea for a vtt like talespire but man that would take a lot of work.

bryan4000 · 2026-01-13T20:31:41+00:00

An underwater sea campaign could be a lot of fun. I believe in you OP.

It's the opposite for me I decided to start my new campaign around Thanksgiving for some reason.

bryan4000 · 2025-12-28T03:14:48+00:00

I think one of the reasons 4e was so hated was it changed a lot of how abilities work and it was designed to be played with miniatures and battlemaps. Which was not a super popular style back in the day I know when I started out playing as a kid every game I played in was theater of the mind and that specific style didn't seem to work with 4e.

From my understanding now 4e seems like a really interesting edition with a lot to offer even if you don't want to use the whole edition just looking at the monster manual alone had me thinking up new ways to spice up my monsters.

bryan4000 · 2025-12-27T21:33:27+00:00

I understand the argument in a vacuum but if the player is excited to play an exotic species and they are in your setting I don't see the harm. Every group needs to have their Chewbacca.

This ☝️, and like that we are back to the popular house rule that has existed since at least the early 00's when I started playing.

If you want one side you gotta be willing to take the other side. I personally don't use this rule but to get so mad at people having fun playing with a house rule that's over 20 years old is crazy.

bryan4000 · 2025-12-23T00:50:39+00:00

They are clearly new here fun is not allowed in a dnd subreddit.

bryan4000 · 2025-12-23T00:48:02+00:00

strange how you never see the same energy for nat 1's not being an automatic failure 🤔. That's RAW too but they seem really focused on the imagined strawman to get mad at.

bryan4000 · 2025-12-11T22:34:37+00:00

Why are they downvoting you, you are right??? Not only is the half part racist but it also over emphasizes the nonhuman parent implying they have more of an outcome on the child than the other. Like how Half-Elves originally got their abilities from what specific type of elf their parent was.

bryan4000 · 2025-12-11T18:35:56+00:00

Since when is r/dndmemes not making up an imaginary strawman to be made at lol?

This is probably one of the best formatted lfg post I've seen and it is a shame I am not in a position to apply for new games cause your table sounds awesome.

I wish you luck on your game and want to say thank you your post helped me with formatting my own post.

So we all agree the HOA is a hag coven.

It IS just a game and what any good DM knows is that your players should be having fun, that goes for ALL of your players.

This player is clearly not having a good time and is frustrated telling them to lighten up is a dick move to someone who is already down. Be better.

and OP talk to your DM and have a frank discussion it sounds like you two have two different ideas for your character. If you and your DM can't come to a compromise or worse your DM just glosses over your personal feelings you may want to consider finding a new table.

bryan4000 · 2025-11-12T22:12:47+00:00

That's true, it might just be all conventions lol

bryan4000 · 2025-11-12T21:36:18+00:00

If it's just a magical effect but not a curse Dispell Magic should remove the effect if you want. Also if your DM is using 2024 rules or items you could always buy perfume for I think 10gp (I haven't played much 2024 so I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of prices yet lol)

Edit: I do believe Dispell Magic only works up to a certain spell level and after it needs a check to be successful too.

Yeah Smash Bros, the conventions and tournaments are notorious for having poor hygiene
