#introduction
Hey guys!! I'm brand new to mastodon, so i'm still learning the ropes buuut...
I'm Sarah, a laborer, who sometimes does art.
I've been gming a homebrew 5e game with friends for a couple of years now, and been a player here and there for some years before that.
I play tons of video games other than that, mostly on PC, PS, and nintendo. Love RPGs and stupid phone games.
Looking forward to being in this community!! :D
Please enjoy this picture of my cat as a bonus.
@aerodromes kitty!πŸ˜β€‹ do you have to hide your dice from your cat? (Mine thinks that dice are the best thing ever)
@raven_in_winter
We've banned her from the table for both dice and map crimes (she LOVES to lay on the mat we lay out for figs).
I'm definitely missing a d10 from my set because of her.
@aerodromes @raven_in_winter welcome to the table! I'm new to mastodon as well!
Our kitter at home also had to be kept off the gaming table because she'd chew on minis, which is really not good in a house full of people who like to paint them.

@daisy_todd

@raven_in_winter
Welcome! Newbies uniiiite!! :D!!
Ahaha, oh man. Yeah, that could be super problematic. My cat batted at the minis, but mostly she just wanted to lay down and cover every paper and disrupt carefully laid battle formations (which consisted of: warlock ends up in front with tanky pally in the back. EVERY TIME WITHOUT FAIL)

@aerodromes @daisy_todd oh my gosh, that's our battles too! My warlock has almost died nearly every fight we have 'cause I always end up in front, with the fighter hiding somewhere behind me.

@raven_in_winter

@daisy_todd
That's happened to our warlock so many times.... ahaha. I feel so bad whenever I throw stuff at them because of it.
But he does it to himself bc he's always the one who rushes in, like a certain famous fighter

@aerodromes @raven_in_winter Good lord yeah, our bards always end up on the front lines for some reason, with the tanks trying to leave combat.

(Also: Oh, Magnus, you goof.)

@daisy_todd

@raven_in_winter
Honestly? The only bard who doesn't rush in i've ever encountered is my best friend. She just stays in the back and just summons a spiritual weapon and maybe (MAYBE) uses a healing spell.

@aerodromes @raven_in_winter Yeah, idk why but bards just keep running into the front of battle. It's like "FAM!!! Please! You are the healer! The party will die if you go down!"

@daisy_todd

@raven_in_winter
God!!! I know!!! Its so frustrating being DM sometimes because it's like... COME ON. GIANT FUCKALL STATUE with like 16 ac and you're gonna hit it with your DAGGER. Your only melee weapon! You have spells!! Fool!!

@aerodromes @daisy_todd Yeah, that's definitely a way to give the dm a heart attack. Or make them want to smash their head through a desk
@raven_in_winter @daisy_todd
Honestly i'm shocked I still have a coffee table at this point. My players constantly try my patience. xD
@aerodromes @daisy_todd which is why I'm not DMing at the moment. After I had a player try to reason with an eldritch abomination as though she could convince it not to attack them all....
@raven_in_winter @daisy_todd
Oh... no...
Well, if it makes you feel better, our warlock almost sided with the big bad (cthulu's agent sent to eat the world) in order to get power? I had to bribe him with another, more different unknowable entity to get him to change his mind.
@aerodromes @daisy_todd oh good grief! I swear you could have the most evil thing in the world and someone would try to either reason with it, or make friends with it
@raven_in_winter @daisy_todd
Ikr???? Nothing stops them!!! I was shocked when they didnt try to reason with the big bad, even though they tried it earlier with a bunch of territorial plants.
@aerodromes @daisy_todd they tried to reason with plants??? wft!
@raven_in_winter @daisy_todd
YUP! One of them is a druid so I can kinda see the logic? But she was based on animals and kept trying to make flowers appear with druid craft to communicate.😐😐
@aerodromes @daisy_todd a druid I understand wanting to talk to plants. But everyone else? Man you've got some fun players!
@raven_in_winter @daisy_todd
Seriously!! They ended up just fighting, but the druid was able to impress some ents and talk to the forest avatar so. It kinda worked out?
They're old friends from hs (and their/my partners) that I tricked into playing.
I swear they do most of their shit on purpose lmao.
@aerodromes @daisy_todd those groups are the best, honestly, cause you feel so much for free to do random stuff. The group I'm in right now is friends I've known for nearly 10 years. We drive the DM insane with our antics, but we all know it's in good fun with no huge expectations.
@raven_in_winter @daisy_todd
They are!!! As much as I complain I love our group.
That's fuckin awesome though. I feel for your DM. Same hat.
Also daisy.... i'm so sorry for this thread lmao
@aerodromes @raven_in_winter No no gosh this is a lovely thread to open up to. I'm ready for my party to pull goofy antics in a few hours.
@daisy_todd @raven_in_winter
Hell yeah! Then let us know what kind of antics they get up to!
@aerodromes @daisy_todd yes! I want to hear all the fun stories! My group's not meeting again until January. I need these stories to tide me over.
@raven_in_winter @aerodromes Well, the session went very well last night! Let's see...I pulled the classic "It's a pull door not a push door" puzzle with an added layer of talking door knockers, someone was nearly trapped with a unicorn because it was being cute, and a lot of tea was spilt about people's backstories...take your pick ^^
@daisy_todd @aerodromes unicorn story first! That sounds interesting.
@raven_in_winter @aerodromes So, our party was exploring a tower that they had heard held fantastical creatures such as unicorns and fey and all the traditional ones of old (certain creatures are abnormal in my campaign), and they encountered a unicorn. Following the traditional legend of the unicorn, it would violently attack any man who approached it. Thankfully for the party, one of them was playing a lady, who gently approached the unicorn.....
@raven_in_winter @aerodromes ...though our sorceress quickly calmed it by pushing her half brother away into the stairwell, who fell and crushed our hunchbacked ratfolk alchemist. She then attempted to leave it cheese and bread as a peace offering before leaving sadly.
@daisy_todd @raven_in_winter @aerodromes i have known her for exactly one (1) full min and i would die for her..
