My party doesn’t use lemmy so I can drop some setting spoilers
They don’t know that the adorable orphan they adopted in their time travel adventure is actually the evil lich queen in the modern day, and I’m looking forward to dropping that bomb on them
That can’t possibly get away from you in the meantime, nope.
You think you’re going to drop a bomb on them but you just introduced time travel to your plot. That bomb says acme my friend.
Username oddly checks out
I kept the hazards in mind, “Time travelling adventure” is short for “Yanked into the past due to an apocalyptic event that cannot be replicated” and the time travel is a problem to be solved, not a solution
And is the only way to stop the evil lich queen, to kill the kid with kindness and raise it to be a loving and responsible adult?
Because if so, your world is fucked. No DnD party is able to properly raise anything but hell and chaos.
They’re teaching a kid through example the benefits of powerful people affecting change faster than all that nonsense about “consent of the governed”
I wondered off on my own while my party argued over something and stumbled upon a room occupied by a dog like creature that eats pretty much anything with a heartbeat. I thought he was cute so instead of preparing for battle I prepared for scritches. When I rolled a 20 I think my dm got excited because it’s my pet now and he can talk.
If anything happens to college rat I’m killing everyone in this room
Googles rat lifespan
Uh oh
An awakened shrub they found standing under a sewer grate, moving around in the sewer as the beam of sunlight shifted about. Discarded by a wizard as trash, it literally grew up with his roots digesting the town’s shit. It grew good berries, and offered the party some when they encountered it in a session one “rats in the sewers” scenario. They immediately adopted it, and it became their mascot of sorts, named “Stem”. I had a great time RPing Stem, with this child-like wide eyed wonder as the party took it out to explore the world with them.
Rat: I got a FRAT!
Party: You mean you joined a Frat?
Rat: No, I got a Full Ride Animal Tuition!
I thought it stood for fat rat. Woops.
I made a dog, human intellect, dog voice box. Not fantasy, so no actual speaking with him, but he texts. (Never on screen, so no one knows how)
I played this character in Eclipse Phase, LMAO. Except everyone knew how he texted: with his brain implants, which he also used for hacking.
Good thing there’s no internet in the campaign, otherwise they wouldn’t know they’re a dog
I was running a D&D campaign for my son before and the two most liked NPCs were two goblins. One was a snivveling little companion who was actually a decent, though stupid goblin. The other goblin was a conniving, manipulative little shit that would backstab the group at any opportunity, yet they couldn’t ever bring themselves to kill him. Voiced them pretty differently with almost opposite personalities. It’s so great having characters that get that kind of reaction.
My NPC was the insane BBEG at the beginning that took a liking to the party and changed his ways because of them. He became something of a patron to them.
We adopted a crazy guy who lived in the sewers. We’d check up on him whenever we were back in town. Ended up giving him a neat magical item that let him cast prestidigitation a few times a day or something, and some other amenities hoping he’d clean up his act. We never finished the campaign, but I like to think he got it together.
My players have not yet found this creature. Buuut. In the process of 3D printing a mimic mini, there was an error in scale and I accidentally made a really teenie mimic. And I can’t wait for them to encounter it.
