Oh my god I legitimately want to join in 😆 I’ve never played DnD but did love computer games as a kid! There’s a certain escapism that is so wonderful

I have been playing D&D off and on since the original Red Box and this is the very first time I’ve ever seen someone refer to a Dungeon Master as the “Dungeon Daddy”. That’s hilarious and gives me uncomfortable feelings at the same time.

I wish my experience of sharing D&D with my wife had gone as well as things went for you. To be fair, it was entirely my fault because it was like my second time playing with this group and they were all new acquaintances. Nothing really traumatic happened, but one of the players was a rules lawyer type who kept pulling out supplemental manuals anytime a role didn’t go his way trying to argue things in his favor. It made the session incredibly tedious. I like the game and even I was bored.

I enjoyed your article. Thanks for sharing it.

This post makes me very happy. My favourite thing to do is to match people / characters / books / films / music, to perfumes. I do this twice weekly for @onthescentpodcast, in my various writing jobs, and shall be doing this soon when I’m a guest again on the wonderful Paperback Perfumes podcast. God I love my job, and the wonderful people I get to encounter along the way!

Also def going to think about scent next time I create a character!! Just laughing at myself bcs it’s such a part of how I get dressed or think about presenting myself but I somehow never thought to carry it over to DND other than some fun candles hahaha. So excited to subscribe to dry down 💯

Ha! I absolutely love this. What a cool connection you've been able to create between two seemingly unrelated activities. Pure genius.
