I'm a relatively new DM preparing a long-term 2014 5e campaign.

One of my players asked if they could use Silvery Barbs. My initial answer was:

"It's currently banned. But if you really want to use it, then enemies will also be able to use it."

The player responded that this would be unfair because the DM controls multiple enemies and has access to far more resources than the players.

This confused me a bit.

My reasoning was:

If the spell exists in the world, why would only the players be able to use it?

If a spell is considered fair when players use it, shouldn't it also be fair when NPCs use it?

I

f everyone agrees the spell feels miserable when used against them, isn't that an argument for banning it in the first place?

For context, I'm not talking about giving Silvery Barbs to every goblin, bandit, and random mage. I simply meant that enemy spellcasters could potentially have access to the spell if the players do.

Was my response unreasonable?

How do other DMs handle Silvery Barbs at their tables?

Long story short, had a particular player constantly saying "you can't do that!" when i'm running monsters that can for example attack twice and cast a spell, or take multiple reactions etc etc.

After a handful of times I kindly told them "As the DM, I am not restricted to PC rules and monster stat blocks reflect that, i'm not making this up as I go along"

So DMs, if you want to give that monster an extra attack or reaction to make the combat more fun, go for it.

Well I did it. Last night, during D&D, I delivered the best one liner in all of my time DMing.

After several in game days and out of game hours of travel across a weird island, the party came upon a village of super friendly people. They were invited into the chief’s hut for some tea. When they entered, they saw a key they had been looking for sitting on a pedestal. When they asked about it, they were told they’re welcome to take it. But when they tried, their hand passed right through it. That’s when the villagers told them “Well it’s not exactly here, it’s on the other side. And you’ll need a different kind of tea to go there. This other tea is made from the vapors that come off the hot springs in the center of the village. But we have to wait for the boss. Because only the boss brews spring steam.”

All delivered flawlessly without cracking a smile, and ending the session immediately after. It took a moment for what I said to register. The rolling of eyes was nearly audible. And damn was it glorious.

We’ve been playing for 3.5 years, and the campaign survived players leaving and new players joining, me quitting my job, moving across the country, and transitioning to completely online.

My players flew out to visit me for the campaign finale, so I had to go all out with the prep and the art! I also printed and painted custom minis, and made some party art (in comments).

The PCs are:

- human pyromaniac wizard with a flying weasel familiar

- drow paladin who was just sworn into the Silver Order, wielding the sword of St. Ignacious and sainted at the end of the campaign

- human artificer on his third steel defender (the first one unknowingly contained the corpse of his son)

- halfling rogue who learned that he is the heir to the throne, since his father was the king’s errant younger brother

We were all so happy and sad to see the campaign end… many tears were shed and I’m already planning the next one.

Character concept for an upcoming campaign. Est is a Circle of the Stars druid from a prestigious shadar-kai family line of ship navigators, cartographers and storm-tellers. To have one of them on your ship costs a pretty penny but it's well worth the price. Est is a fresh branch on the family tree but he makes up for the years with effort. Sticks to the rules religiously, puts great effort into his image and is quite an insufferable try-hard overall. Life will have to teach him one or two lessons.

Sindriana was a high elf healer in life before being killed in the undead invasion of her homeland. She would later be raised up as a San'layn, a vampiric form of undead elf, to spread misery to the very forests she once called home. One night, under circumstances nobody but Sin herself knows, she regained her freedom, and sought out to make amends for the many wrongs she had committed. Now, Sindriana wanders the world, using her necromancy to help wayward spirits cross beyond the boundaries of life and death, while channeling those who have passed on so they may speak to their grieving loved ones one last time.

Obviously started off as a WoW character, but has been easily converted into a dnd character with very few modifications 💙

Hello again friends! Today I have for you a really silly request I got last week from my patrons for a Owlbear but in Winnie the Pooh mode lol. I 3D modeled this in Blender making sure it was ready for both resin and FDM printing. And just like that over the weekend one of my patrons already 3D printed and painted it haha

Free stls here if you'd like to print your own.

The files, like all 7500+ of the minis I made over the years area all free and always will be :)

Oh and if you're curious about my Patreon I offer my patrons access to all my 7500+ presupported TTRPG models in one place, along with commercial options, a discord, and requests board. The drives have all the same models that are already out there for free in the internet. Its more for convenience rather than exclusivity.

Alrighty that's all. Just had to share. Stay amazing friends and I hope you have a lovely day :)
