Ava: I grab a wrench and sneak up behind Odin’s character. DM: Okay, roll for stealth. Ava: I got a…. two.
Ava: Shit.
Maggie: I tell him we should ditch Ava and Odin.
Ava: Maggie, why!?
DM: Bluff check. Maggie: Eighteen. Odin: O-Oh my God.
DM: …and as you place the Limbo Lenses on and stare at Odin’s character, you see these shifting shapes and colours surrounding his form. Roll for perception. Odin: P-Please tell me she sees th-the BIG FUCKING D-DEMON right behind her. Ava: I rolled a five. Odin: Fuck! DM: Yeah, you don’t see shit.
DM: Odin, roll an athletics check. Odin: …I g-got a one. C-Critical fail.
DM: You miss the keys and they fall in the lava instead. Odin: I h-hate this game.
Nobody in the party is allowed to have a backstory with dead parents.
Too easy, meet me in my gauntlet. D&D Nightmare mode: Nobody in the party is allowed to have a sad backstory.
your party all has to schedule time to visit their live parents roughly once a month even if that conflicts with their normal quest flow. bringing souvenirs for your younger siblings is encouraged
