We Certainly Tried…Where bad ideas become great moments. Each week I pitch a bad character idea, make it worse by giving them a common item which I then curse and finish them off with a D&D Baddie that is underrated, underused, or needing a fresh take.It's a great time for players and GMs in here and everyone gets a laugh...or an idea.And I love failure stories and encourage everyone to send them to me so I can read them here and let the world laugh with our blunders.So, tune in, sit back, laugh and may your decisions be questionable and your laughs be many!
