Dont you just love it when you want to infodump about something in your dnd campaign but you cant because all your friends are players in that campaign and the thing you want to infodump about would be a spoiler / give them insight the characters wouldnt have? Dont you just love that feeling?? I am in hell.

One of my players plays a dragon born based off a certain type of lizard and apparently that species has particularly acidic pee because they just asked me if they could piss on opponents as a turn of attack. Imagine you’re fighting a guy and he just whips his dick out and pees on you and it fucking BURNS like hellfire. What the fuck kind of hellscape am I on where I’m asked by my player if they can do something like that.
Anyway, so naturally I said yes, we’ve assigned it two rolls, one d8 to see how good his piss aim is and one d8 for acid damage.

I hear things occasionally about D&D DMs who set up cool/elaborate things in their campaigns and the players either find a shortcut through it or get obsessed with some minor detail, and the DM’s just like, 🤦. Did that ever happen?

All. The. Fucking. Time
The Dorian Gray arc actually went so tits up the first time they tried it that I ended up rebooting it. The party was supposed to investigate Dorian's dinner parties to discover that he was harboring a group of Dracula's vampires and feeding his guests to them. Initially this was supposed to have them mingle with guests, search the mansion and uncover secrets and possibly obtain Dorian's portrait to blackmail him for information, but for the longest time I couldn't for the life of me get them to break away from the party and explore the mansion. When they finally did they manged to skip over an entire puzzle I had spent hours working on, bypass a fight with a guard and find the portrait. Then one of them whipped out a lighter and screeched "BURN MOTHERFUCKER" because she was upset about what went down with Dorian and Adam. The portrait went up in flames and Dorian aged to dust in the middle of the party and they had to fight their way out of a hoard of vampires.
I ended up letting them redo the quest because we were all very disappointed.

This time last year I tried to get my family to play DnD with me. I went through character creation with them and explained the rules and was definitely expecting to hold their hands a lot.
I wrote a short one shot for them that I thought would engage them and help them keep focus (the neurodivergent apple didn’t fall far from the neurodivergent tree)
I don’t think they fully understood their characters’ motivations or how to role play properly because no matter how hard I tried to get them to follow ANY aspect of the plot, the only thing they cared about was completing the first task that was set for them (transporting a wagon from one place to another)
I laid traps, put NPCs in perilous situations, kidnapped them, literally exciting thing I could think of but all they cared about was getting that fucking wagon to the shopkeeper (literally all it contained was basic supplies and the shopkeeper was barely paying them anything)
When they finally delivered it they thanked the shopkeeper for the gold and immediately turned around to go their separate ways completely ignoring the townspeople’s pleas for help because their children were being stolen
At that point I had moved all the interesting plot points to try and get them interested in the story
Basically I was very salty bc I had spent ages planning it all out with music and props and they all seemed bored/disinterested
Funny thing is after the session they all said they had so much fun and wanted to play again some time (we’re doing a session tomorrow which reminded me of it)
Turns out they really enjoyed the simple task of transporting that damned wagon and randomly battling NPCs along the way (and my little sister loved played her giant barbarian half-orc)
I’m just so glad they had fun and didn’t realise how stressed I was the whole time. Hoping for similar results tomorrow!

I have a 3 tier ship battle map that I use as the player's ship/home base. Its a v good map but I described the tart as a frigate and the map is clearly a brig and none of my players notice or care but it's been bothering me for a while

I adore my players but everytime I think about why I torment them and their characters I remember session 1: *where they made me figure out piss and shit logistics for a homebrew rule I made about the fae wilds*

Me creating a dnd NPC with an intricate backstory: oh yeah, this is good. Some of my best work…… they’ll never see this.

good for him
in a shocking revelation, the ally of a party sends them a message that a minor villain that the party witnessed dying and buried, has been seen alive - if a bit confused. There is a single necromancer in the city who has been known to dig up bodies, mostly to ressurect them (makes sense in the context) and dump the confused fellas in the middle od the city, but he’s imprisoned and is considered a high-security prisoner.
Stern: he came back from the dead
The party, apathetically: good for him
