Conversations with the 9yo DM: Me: The desert hag tells you her name is Ham. 9yo DM: What kind of hag is named Ham?! That is ridiculous. Me: What? Who doesn’t like a Ham Sand Witch?

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: Time travel is weird to DM. Me: It’s weird in real life too. 9yo DM: What? Me: Let me show you something <twitches and jerks heads to the side>… um… actually I can’t show you that. It doesn’t turn out well for you. 9yo DM: Daddy!!

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: Do you think that spell components should be based on value? Me: What do you mean? 9yo DM: Like a “diamond worth 200gp”… Me: What do you think? 9yo DM: Well you just crashed the economy. Inflation is high and a 200gp diamond is tiny.

I had a dream that I met Brennan Lee Mulligan and Izzy Roland. They were so nice and they bought one of my Spire lamps and showed it to people. Then I got a ton of orders and was able to pay off things and it was wonderful. That was a really good dream.

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: Do you think 5e is better than AD&D? Me: The rules are better, but the nostalgia makes AD&D more fun. 9yo DM: Is 5e better than 3e? Me: Same answer. 9yo DM: What about 4e? Me: I have no nostalgia for 4e.

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: Check out these awesome homemade magic cards… Me: I wish I had as much time as you do. These are amazing.

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: Do you want to go through all the monsters in the monster manual and help me change the challenge ratings? Me: Why in the… why would you ever want to do that? 9yo DM: It sounds fun. None of them are right, and they need some work.

Not many bands sound better live than they do on the recording… but St Paul & The Broken Bones were amazing live. What a great show! And the wyrmling ended up with two picks, a set list, and a broken drum stick delivered by the drummer himself after the show!

The wyrmling has been preparing for this day for several months. He made hundreds of homemade Magic the Gathering cards and we played all afternoon. Goblins versus Demons and it was a wonderfully fun time.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you. I am a guy in a ‘75 Chevelle with a “Bass Ass Boys Drive Bad Ass Toys” bumper sticker who decided to pass a teenager on his way to school on a small two-lane road and lost control fish-tailing before slamming into a telephone pole.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you. Hi, I’m Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, and you’re going to be in the most pain of your life for the next six weeks as your own immune system tries to eliminate your skin, mucus membranes, and your internal organs.

Me: I have to leave work a little early today as my son has a game. Co-worker: I didn’t know your son played. What position? Me: Uh… Dungeon Master.
