    Format: 4 panel comic

    Panel 1: A crow sits on a stool and speaks into a microphone. It says “Level 5: Extra Attack”

    Panel 2: A heckler in the crowd in front of the crow shouts “Booo! Get better features!”

    Panel 3: The crow sweats nervously

    Panel 4: We see the note cards in the crow’s wing-hands, which say “Level 11: Extra Attack times 2”

    chandra-nyalaar says: “my favorite d&d thing is when someone flubs like a really obvious perception roll or something and the DM gets to be like ‘well, you’re pretty sure you’re in a room but you could be wrong.’”

    animar-smol-of-elephants says: “it is either really wet of really dry, you’re not entirely sure”

    ugin-the-spirit-dragon says: “One time a guy in our party rolled a nat 20 on a perception check, but there was nothing around he didn’t already see, so the DM said ‘You’re not quite sure, but for a few seconds it seems like you’re standing on a giant’s table, surrounded by 5 giants.Your party seems to look stiff and fake,and large papers and dice are strewn around you. Then, everything goes back to normal.’”

    Title: “DND characters I’ve been banned from playing.”

    A drawing of a smiling woman with pointed ears and a blond updo looks at us. She wears a green dress like a folded leaf, with yellow and blacked striped tights underneath. Bees buzz around her.

    Caption: “Swarm druid with beehive hairstyle, but it’s a real beehive.”

    A drawing of a red-skinned person with horns and yellow eyes without pupils reads from a book. Cards float above their hand. Their robe bears a red B symbol, in the style of the D&D Beyond logo.

    Caption: “Warlock who is directly pacted to Wizards Of The Coast.”

    A drawing of a zombie-like person in tattered clothes holding a staff made of bones looks at us. The staff glows green.

    Caption: “Necromancer who raised themselves from the dead, and now has to maintain the spell.”

    A drawing of a person-sized mechanical snake with a drill bit for a tail and a piece of wire as a tongue.

    Caption: “Warforged druid who wildshapes by physically reconfiguring their body.”

    A drawing of a large cloud of red and yellow energy, with a tiny silhouette of a person with arms outstretched at the center.

    Caption: “Wizards.”

  • As a GM:

    I host online for friends, so we use digital tools.

    • Foundry, hosted on my desktop computer, with these modules:
      • Dice So Nice, and several skins.
      • Dice Tray, to make rolling single dice easier.
      • Pathbuilder Importer mostly for my lazy players.
    • Obsidian, for when I’m running homebrew. But with the revamping of Foundry’s journal system, I may stop using this.
    • Discord for game audio.

    As a player:

    I have a tablet PC with a pen. I take notes on Rnote (free, open source.) I used to use OneNote which was great because I could search my handwriting, but I stopped using Windows.

    Historically, I always used physical dice because I was playing in-person. I did my PF1e character sheets manually by writing on the PDF in OneNote, but for PF2e I do enjoy Pathbuilder to help me plan it out. For actual play, I build my character sheet in Foundry (even if the GM isn’t using it for the game) just to make everything easy for me to find.
