Had a very good week for #ttrpg writing! Finally broke out of my writer's block for my Freaks & Facades #dnd story recap! Fully in Arc 2 now! And, I've been slowly uploading all my 3e/3.5 homebrew to a new blog--Aboleth Workshop! Check out links below! #selfpromosaturday

When I roleplay well enough for my DM to skip a dice roll I feel like a god you guys sound like no fun
Just heard about Critical Role not using dice to determine important gameplay moments and I don't know if I should be either embarrassed or annoyingly bored at this point. Just stage a play already, this isn't even a game anymore.

I finished a big #dnd project last night! For the last two weeks, I've been writing up the lore and character options for my fairytale campaign setting: Storied Lands! It's over 40 pages and I'm so happy! I'm planning to host a podcast actual play within my setting soon!

Cloud Nine A long, straight road stretches northwards along Sword Coast, travelling through forests and humble towns and into the grand city of Waterdeep. This is where Trade Way ends and the High Road begins, the famed trade route paved through five towns and cities. You know when you have arrived. The gatekeeper, reciting a long list of rules, slowly fade into the noise as you make your way past the entrance and the rustic throttle of horses begin to echo from cobbled streets. Merchants, driving alongside you, start to slow down, giving way to citizens on foot. You'll have to watch out for the skies too, or you'll miss the Griffon Riders patrolling from above! Flying low this time was not a rider swooping down to rest but a little floating shop soaring over the wagons and gently landing in a plaza amongst curious customers. Any law-abiding citizen would know this sight is quite rare; so is the experience in the shop that hovers. Once her pavement signs are set, Ms. Eden folds her hands and stands by the door with a warm smile welcoming all. I was lucky enough to get in queue for her roasted bean brews and pastries. Eden Cloudfall, played by @daniphin.

Imagine a player giving a speech so powerful it rivals world class monologues. Just to roll a 2 with advantage, and EVERYONE at the table being disappointed. If you KNOW moving in this direction produces the best story, you fit the narrative to what's most fun for players.
Critical Role's Brennan Lee Mulligan ditched D&D's dice in Campaign 4: no roll needed because a PC monologue was "too good." Performance now overrides actual gameplay. This isn't D&D. It's scripted celebrity theater pretending to be gaming. They. Don't Really. Play.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claim "This isn't D&D" is false. The Dungeon Master's Guide explicitly permits DMs to "use dice as rarely as possible... the DM decides whether an action or a plan succeeds or fails based on how well the players make their case, how thorough or creative they are..." forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php… x.com/frogs4girls/st…
