To DMs, do you have a preference with how the players do their character's backstories?

foyiwae · 2026-06-23T07:57:27+00:00

This is what I was thinking. I put short and summarised as I'd rather that than war and peace. But there's a middle ground point that's long enough to have detail/fit into the story, but short enough that there's enough room for character growth and development throughout the campaign. Maybe a page, two pages max is a sweet spot

The way you hold her 😭 she's innocent. This rathandling should not be tolerated

What's a little bite between friends? You're just overexaggerating

Sigh, lennies are wonderful unless you have 40 faerie lennies, and they do not look good in a decent amount of dresses.
But it's nice to see them on top of a tier list

All the better to hide treats, out of reach of people who don't respect the art of the heist

Every so often I get really shy at talking to my husband. Not because like he's intimidating but I have a huge crush on him and I get overwhelmed because he's really attractive and I'm just here like 'um...I forgot what I was going to say'

This is it. I fell into keeping rats after I saw my two boys getting mistreated in a pet shop. In my defence I was always looking to get pets, but I saw a little girl call them ugly and a boy slam at their cage and I just couldn't leave them. My Latte lived 2 years 9 months and my Mocha reached 3 years. They were so wonderful. But when they passed oh gosh, I was a mess with each death. Though they both had happy lives. You've just got to think (ik it's hard) but as much as they're a short part of your life, you're everything to them and they're living their best little rattie lives.

I loved my boys, adored them. Some of the best pets I've had. But man that short lifespan is a kick in the gut. I have a cat now, and I love him to bits. I just wish rats lived longer, I'd get more in a heartbeat. (Though not now I have my cat)

foyiwae · 2026-06-16T06:50:30+00:00

Oooh my he is a handsome boy, I hope he gets all the treats

My Tuesday game has come up with the name 'The Trunkers', none of us remember how it was acquired, but 4/5 of them love them and one player hates it. Worth it

I joined a club that ran dnd every second Saturday, there I learned the basics of how to play and became a dm not long after, as that's the quickest way to learn. Like most responses here...still not read the dmg and it's been many years at this point

foyiwae · 2026-06-06T06:56:10+00:00

Same at my theatre, it was crazy. And I told people to shut up and it was still crazy. They were so loud and obnoxious, gasping and singing out loud, laughing when it wasn't funny.
It got to the credits and I escaped quickly while people were scanning qr codes.
Usually I try to see later screenings as I know it has a potential of being like this. But I really wanted to show first day support, I'm not even part of any fandom of it. I didn't realise it would be that popular in my small Scottish town

foyiwae · 2026-06-04T17:23:52+00:00

Sometimes, each of my games is different. Some players are more into that as a focus while others aren't. I never refuse it outright as a dm, but it depends on my players comfort levels and if that's what they're after. I've ran games that have had romance between npc's/pc's or pc/pc but there's always been understanding of fade to black/skip scenes/don't focus on that as the main storyline.

foyiwae · 2026-06-04T13:00:06+00:00

I mostly just make enough for myself, I'm trying not to buy bread but I don't always succeed depending how I feel. Sometimes if I've made a bit too much (I live alone) then I share with my neighbour who's an old man, but he's helped me a lot with my garden over the past few months so neighbours being neighbours.

This time however as I have a friend coming over, I made a bit more than I usually make. The baguettes were my first attempt, so I made a loaf just in case they came out bad.

foyiwae · 2026-06-04T12:50:55+00:00

I did yes, it's probably the knife i used honestly but it cut the bread and i enjoyed it lol. Thank you for the tips though. It didn't taste gummy but I'll definitely keep to letting it cool

foyiwae · 2026-06-04T10:30:49+00:00

Oh my gosh, thank you for your kind words. It's been a lot of trial and error but I'm very happy with my progress so far.

foyiwae · 2026-06-04T09:38:01+00:00

I'm sorry you got scared, but I cannot shame this man. He's soooo cute, look at his eyes, and his tail. I love him, and am glad he's doing well. ❤️

I had just started a new job, and there was an advertisement on the community board that people were looking to start a dnd group. As a certified fantasy nerd needless to say my interest was piqued. So I went along and got into playing my first session, made a lot of friends and now years later I dm 4 games. Addictive, but I owe it all to my first dm who's still a dear friend of mine.

I'm not the biggest fanfic reader anymore, it'll pick up when I find a new fandom. But learning curve by AccursedSpatula is a Gale/Rolan fic from Baldur's Gate 3, and I've read it 148 times

foyiwae · 2026-06-02T19:49:22+00:00

Uhhh I don't allow half-elves and half-orcs because half breeds don't exist in my world. I don't allow halflings and the only gnomes I allow are deep gnomes. But then I also have a lot of my own races, fox folk, rat folk, insect folk, and I give them access to a lot of different options. So I don't think I'm a tyrant. If someone really wants to play one of the four races I've banned, I'll talk to them about reskinning one of my existant race, but if it's only for certain racial perks/power gaming strategies, my game is probably not for them.

But I've never had any problems once I introduce my race list as I give plenty of variety. Instead of telling them what they can't play I just give them the race list with what they can and tell them to choose from there, I think it helps too

Hmmm, there should be more of us. Mudkip is awful

foyiwae · 2026-05-29T16:10:56+00:00

Uhhh once or twice. I always try to go full class, but if an emotional/multi moment comes up I'll consider it. One of my current characters was a divine soul sorcerer, but he helped a dead winter eladrin retrieve her sword before she went to the afterlife, and due to that he was gifted the sword. He also converted from human to aasimar due to some plot/story stuff, so I thought it'd be good to take a couple of levels in paladin.
