So my party finished touring this massive Eiffel Tower-like structure and, of course, had to stop by the gift shop on the way out.

Altogether, they left with two pigeons, four hats, and sixty bottles of the tower’s signature perfume.

That’s when the player who bought all 60 bottles looked at me and said:

“I would like to use both of my acid breaths, one on each north pillar, combined with the perfume to destabilize the structure and bring it down.”

I just stared at him for a second.

“…What.”

“I don’t like it.”

“What do you mean you don’t like it?”

“I will bring this tower down.”

He rolls.

I tell him, as gently as possible, that while it’s… a fair attempt… it is not enough to bring down an entire tower.
(Yes, “how much acid would it take to bring down the Eiffel Tower” is now in my search history.)

“So it doesn’t fall?”

“No.”

Another player immediately goes:

“I kick it.”

I ask her what she means.

“Natural 20.”

I stare at the other player, then say:

“You strike the tower with the force of a god. The tower is made of metal. Your leg is made of meat. You now have a limp for the rest of the afternoon.”

They sit there for a second.

“Damnit, the tower is still up.”

They now seem personally offended by its existence and have vowed to bring it down.

I love my players so much.

Here’s some basic info about the characters

Corbin (Human Artificer): Sleep-deprived, happy-go-lucky tinkerer; gadgets hum, plans rarely do.

Onda (Human Barbarian): Fierce brawler with a blunt sense of humor; loyal to a fault.

Serene (Triton Paladin): Ocean-sworn knight; calm, radiant, unyielding in her vows.

Bramble (Firbolg Druid): Gentle giant; speaks with beasts, bends roots and rain to his will.

Recently, a new player joined our group of two years. Not an actual name, but let’s call him “Jack.” He’s a friend of the DM’s (who is my boyfriend), and it’s one of the first times playing DnD. We’ve been playing for a couple months, and so far, most things have been fine.

I should mention that this is a college DnD group, and Jack is a senior, so he knows he’ll be leaving in a few weeks. Because of that, he’s been talking with the DM about plans for the future of his character. I should also mention that, as one of our players just left, I’m the only woman at the table.

A couple weeks ago, Jack pulled me aside, saying he would want to talk to me. He said that, after his character died, he was wondering if my character could be tasked with the responsibility of “finding or creating a new body” for his character. At first, I thought it was cool. The idea of possibly finding a corpse or giving a body a second chance.

When I mentioned this, he stopped me, and specified that he would want this creature to be a child. I was confused. He then said that he would like it if his soul could go into that of my character, so that she would be pregnant with the reincarnation of him.

I was shocked. He saw this and specified that, the father of the child would still be my PC’s love interest, but he thought it would be “cool” to have an angel born of two devils (my pc and her love interest are tieflings). I kinda just stared at him and said “no,” and then left it at that.

Jack said he cleared it up with DM before the session, but when I talked to my boyfriend, he said he had no idea that’s what he meant. Like me, he thought that we would be tasked with creating a grown body or finding a corpse.

This past week I’ve been so uncomfortable. I talked to my boyfriend a bit about my frustration, and we both agree that it wasn’t out of a place of malevolence from Jack. He didn’t mean it as a bad thing, but as a woman it made me so uncomfortable. Especially because, had it been a male character playing a female PC, Jack probably wouldn’t have asked them to do this.

Yesterday’s we had the next session and I never realized how mad I was until we were playing again. I was painfully aware that I was the only girl in the group. Even with the other two male players at the table, I felt a bit isolated from them, despite having played with them for a couple years.

Every campaign Ive been in, I’ve had something like this happen. When I was thirteen, another PC attacked my character because she wouldn’t pretend to date him. Another PC once watched my character while he slept to “keep an eye on him.”

This was the first campaign I’ve played where I felt completely comfortable around the other guys at the table, but now I don’t. I probably would have left the campaign to be honest, but this is my boyfriend’s world and he puts so much work into it.

I talked to him about it yesterday, and he said he was so sorry I felt this way. He immediately offered to kick Jack from the table, saying if Jack was mad, then that was his problem. He also offered to invite a mutual friend of ours, who is a girl, to play instead.

I want to take him up on both offers, but I feel like I’m overreacting a bit. I want the opinion of other people here. Am I holding too much of a grudge? It was only one incident, but when I see Jack I just get so mad because I feel isolated. I’ve never felt fully accepted in a lot of nerd circles because I’m a woman, but maybe I just need to get over it?

What do I do?

EDIT:

I just realized I forgot to add a very important detail. Made this post in a rush and didn’t think it would get this much attention this quickly.

DM talked to Jack nearly right after it happened, and Jack apologized to me. Last night, he voluntarily offered to leave, and I didn’t respond to him in discord, so he did.

This is one of the reasons I’m so conflicted that I’m overreacting. He does feel sorry about it, but I’m still just so uncomfortable at the table now.

Last session I handed one of my players a sealed letter instead of just reading it out loud. They didn’t open it right away. They turned it over, checked the seal, held it up like it actually mattered. The whole table went quiet for a second.

That’s when it clicked for me how much physical handouts can add.

I’ve been making simple “parchment” at home using cheap brown paper, printing on it, and aging it a bit. Nothing fancy or expensive, but once you put it in an envelope or add a small prop, it stops feeling like a note and starts feeling like an object from the world.

Now when they find a clue or receive a message, I don’t describe it, I just hand it over. Players pass it around, reread it later, and even keep them between sessions.

It’s honestly one of the easiest upgrades I’ve made to immersion at the table.

Shoutout to the YouTuber who inspired me to try this in the first place, I started with this tutorial and then tweaked it to fit my own game: https://youtu.be/yQEGVhGiXgw?is=gwDaBw4XyuEt8QaJ

Would love to hear if others are doing similar things or have ideas to push this even further.

Will you watch this? Since it has Neil and Devora I will give it a try.

Sorry, posting as a novice but for background, I started playing Dungeons and Dragon when 4th edition came out, my local library was promoting it and had a local DM do a one shot with me and my friends. I really enjoyed playing DnD then but stopped due to school and not having people play with me.

2 years ago, I finally had a group to play DnD with and we played 5th edition and it was awesome! It wasn't exactly how I remembered when I played 4th edition, it's still enjoyable and I loved my games but I just don't understand all the hate that 4th edition had? What personally made you not like 4th edition?

Howdy folks!

I'll be taking a break for a bit as we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our secondborn, who takes after his old man by already missing the deadline (due date was two days ago)! It became a bit of a cliff-hanger sadly, but atleast it's not mid-boss fight :P

This hiatus will be roughly one month long, after which I'm thinking of working part-time in whatever capacity is reasonable/feasible. We'll have two kids under four plus we'll move into a new home and there's stuff to do there so I make no promises!

So no comics for a month-ish, after that we'll see!

Also recently my Instagram page reached 140k followers! Pretty neat, I must say! I decided to celebrate it in classic Instagram artist fashion with a Draw This In Your Style challenge! More info here if you wanna get in on it, give me some fanart to inspire me while raising the children that will one day replace me, Sith lord style (their replacing of me, my style of parenting is arguably more loving than a sith lord).

Plushies (plural) are coming after the break too btw!

Stay excellent out there!

Peace and carrots!

Dalia, The Wandering Ansei

D&D Campaign set in The Elder Scrolls universe.

Dalia is a Redguard Sword-Singer, who has spent most of her traveling across Tamriel. Throughout her Nomadic life and time studying the arts, poetry and swordsmanship she has developed great patience and a calm demeanor. Though that demeanor can quickly disappear in combat as she becomes a fierce and skilled opponent, worshipping her warrior patron with each swing

She is physically imposing, standing at an impressive 6’3. She has a very muscular build, some scars decorate her arms. Despite her large appearance she is surprisingly quick

While she appears large and threatening, any who approach her will quickly realize her character is quite a surprise. She has a soft, welcoming demeanor with a pitch of voice that’s higher than most may expect. She has a desire to learn what she can about all around her, her inquisitive nature often leading her and her party into many side quests.

Running her as a Bladesinger Wizard, her current goal in the campaign is finding a worthy opponent, further testing her mastery of swords or die trying. During her travels she met a traveling band of warriors seeking glory, made up of a Nord, Argonian, Khajiit and Dunmer. With the strong tension between some of her party mates, Dalia tends to act as a mediator of sorts, preventing any violence outbursts.

I'm a pretty new DM. Very quickly, I realized doing voices and acting isn't really my thing. I've already adjusted to try and focus on giving my party clear information, narrating things, or going with "they say..." rather than doing bad first-person dialogue.

I've heard from lots of people that that is a perfectly valid way to DM, but the majority of content out there is DMs doing lots of voices. That obviously makes sense from an entertainment perspective, but I would love some good examples of other styles I could try and model. I love Brennan Lee Mulligan, but I'm just never gonna do things the way he does it.
