An old player reached out to me over the weekend. During our chat he brought up that time his thief rolled a nat 1 (99 on percentile, actually!) on a "move silently" check inside a hobgoblin lair (BECMI, "Keep on the Borderlands").

I laughed and said, "I made a YouTube video about that!"

A "Memorable" #ttrpg session isn't always the same as a "Successful" one. :-)

In this true table story, a group of first-level D&D adventurers plan a stealth mission into a hobgoblin lair. What follows is an epic failure in the most memorable way. It's a perfect example of why the chaos of bad dice rolls create the most unforgettable moments in tabletop RPGs.

Can failure in your D&D game be more fun than success?

My next video drops tomorrow (THU Feb 11) where I describe a table-top D&D game that went horribly wrong in the most memorable way.

Stay tuned.

Happy New Year all! 🎉🎊

I want to share one of my favorite adventures with you.

I1 Dwellers of the Forbidden City

Somewhere in the heart of the steaming jungle lies the answer to the whispered tales - rumors of a magnificent city and foul, horrid rituals! Here a brave party might find riches and wonders - or death!

I was playing a Halfling thief who survived two almost TPKs in the city. He definitely benefited from wealth by attrition 🤣

Oh shit

Santa went down, now two of us need to roll for luck before we can access our powers

#dnd #5e #DNDStories #ongoing

This #DnD #5e #oneshot I am in is wild

I am playing as Holiday "Holly" Jolidae, a Christmas Elf cleric of Santa, Trickery Domain

We have one person who is just Santa's stalker. They keep taking breaks to sketch maps of the factory, that they compulsively keep up to date. Their name is Dr. Pep Per

My partner is a fairy master of disguise

One of the people has Krampus trapped inside him, and is ambiguously trying to release it
