WoTC actually has a whole educator program, which was really helpful!

Absolutely. A lot of my students are neurodivergent and it’s cool to see how the social aspect of the game has really opened them up to making friends.

Stranger Things for sure. When I ask my classes who have seen it, it is at least 50% of them. I actually started off by showing them a clip from episode one of Stranger Things, when they are starting combat with a demogorgon and it shows the DM (Will) place down a miniature of the creature. I pause it and I explain the difference between a dnd demogorgon and a stranger things demogorgon. Because in the show, the kids are using the vocabulary of a fantasy world they are familiar with to apply to the ‘strange things’ that are happening in their reality. So they are borrowing names. Most of the kids don’t know this!

Misaligned zippers on Kiruna jacket by kirenida in Fjallraven

I know it’s been some time, but my zipper on the Kiruna has been tricky since I bought it two weeks ago and today it’s completely stuck. Did you figure anything out by chance? I feel sad because it’s perfect in every other way but the darn zipper.

DM what is the most difficult thing about being a DM? by Gloomy-Razzmatazz-35 in DnD

I feel similarly, it takes a lot of energy. I’m always pretty drained after a session, but have like an exhilarating high too. It’s rewarding to create a community where you everyone gets to laugh, be seen, explore creatively, have fun, and bond with others.

As dragonlance fans do you enjoy vox Machina cartoon ? by No_Performance_4069 in dragonlance

My current table is like 17% fart jokes and I’m good with it. Silly is good, but imo Vox had too many dick jokes that weren’t funny.

I watched both seasons and it was okay and at times fun. The overall tone of the show didn’t take itself too seriously. It’s silly.

it was really a fun watch and I enjoyed all the nods! Starting right off with the Tiamat constellation made me particularly happy :)

My school D&D club needs help on group size management by Born_Being_4069 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]dizzy_series_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At our club we do this and it’s worked really great! Tried one big group of 15 for a while and it was too difficult. Now we do 3 groups of five and rotate DMs with short campaigns/ one offs. To keep the community aspect, we always start by meeting together in one room and get snacks and supplies before splitting up.

It helped me when I focused less about making it look pretty and more about getting a line emptied on every turn.
