DM Culture

• Snark about crit fail perception checks, e.g. “I go into the cave” “Roll a perception check” “Nat 1” “You suspect you may be in a cave”
• “Are you sure you want to do that?”
• The eyebrow raise and weary “Okay” when they say yes
• The constant battle to stop your players from flirting with every NPC
• The constant battle with that one player who thinks all the monsters are REALLY hot
• “You can certainly try!”
• The weary sigh and scramble to come up with stats when they initiate combat in a moment that was supposed to be completely calm
• The utter shock and secret pride when they solve what was supposed to be a combat situation completely nonviolentlently
• The utter fucking DELIGHT of writing a moment that lands really well and that the players all love
• That moment of sheer panic and desperate scrambling when they do the one fucking thing you didn’t plan for
• Just, when you’re in the middle of a session and you look around and realize everyone is really into it and all these people you care about are having a really really good time because of something you organized and your heart swells a little

pls add more!!!

• “How do you want to do this?”
• The cheering and looks of joy on the players faces when you say “how do you want to do this?”

me, a player, knowing this is a Bad Idea but dammit it’s what my character would do and I don’t want to go down this path either but Here We Are:

The DM to the drow wizard who decided to pick pocket the 7.5ft and very nude gnoll barbarian…

Ah good times.  Not even the strangest thing my bunch of idiots have managed.
