I got to play in our first full D&D session for a new campaign tonight, where I’m not the DM but a player. It was so much fun. Three hours of shenanigans and my character burned down a temple. It’s probably good I’m usually the DM, I feel very chaotic as a player but it felt good to laugh for a few hours especially after the heaviness of work this week.
Other events from the session:
- I parkoured badly over a market wall. Twice.
- We rescued a sheep who would be sacrificed, dyed him pink as a disguise, and now he’s our companion.
- I spent a ton of time stamping around a fountain and over a table of godly offerings to try to find a door to a secret room below until eventually, the DM pointed out there were stairs right next to it.
- I knocked out a guard in one punch.
- I found the components for a Molotov cocktail and threw it at the temple library to cause a distraction (to save the sheep).
It’s definitely cut into my NaNoWriMo writing time for today, but I was just enough ahead that I’ve crossed the halfway point with 25K words, right on track. I’m looking forward to some longer writing sessions this weekend.
With Love,
Natalie
