sorry, no drawings - just thinking about my dnd campaign at 3am.

they have so many people they’re going to have to save next session, and I’ll have to roleplay them all. There’s going to be a lot of tension because it’s the confrontation of one of my players backstory, an accumulation of months of hype and theorizing, and just downright terrible circumstances and setting that’s going to blow everyone’s minds including my own.

as a dm, trying to keep track of the story, all the NPCs and the 10 PLAYERS that are currently in the party (my sister is joining for the next few sessions, they needed the backup and extra brain cell) it’s all very hard sometimes to make sure everything is going smoothly. Not to mention we can’t play in person anymore and that loss of connection can hinder a lot of really good RP moments. But they’re all handling it like champs and I’m always so proud and surprised by them.

Last session - and I’m still seething about this - they took out 3 of my big bad enemies in under 4 rounds. First they had the possessed body of one of their own - they whipped him closer to themselves, pinned him to the ground and locked his magic with a suppressing collar. Second, they had a mercenary that had previously killed one of them (they got better, not to worry) - one recently multiclassed fighter/barbarian whose brother he killed and another more seasoned barbarian rushed at him the second he came on and just wrecked him in a few swings, then he was tripped onto the ground, held personed, and just fucking annihilated. Third was the second in command tiefling warlock who had 1 round to cast a fireball, then was immediately blinded, cursed, then stabbed through the heart by my sister’s rogue.

like on one hand I’m so proud and on the other I am absolutely livid.

next session is certainly going to be an interesting one…
