"How much trauma do you want to give your players?"

"Yes"

[pcdeltalink]

I figured for the "teleport across the world" question the answer would be "I moved everything they skipped over to their destination."

[EliteslayerX]

"How's that book coming along?" made me actually shout "Oh, just call me out, why don't you?" at my computer. Well-played.

[jakisz]

So that's why the DM is bald. Not age or wisdom, but the stress. Makes sense now.

[BigBrain]

Failing to name a npc automatically makes you a DM

[jasonshen]

“What do you do when your player says ‘fireball’?”

[SabreWolf]

I love with the teleport one we both said "Cry" at the same time. Hahaha

[Edahs_exists]

“How’s that book coming along?”

Little does he know I do BOTH. Yes it severely stunts my ability for social interaction

[Grimpo]

"How much suffering can you take?"
"Well, I am the middle child."
I feel called out XD

[LordJazzly]

'How's the book coming along?'

'...which one?'

[moardinarcanis]

I’ve had enough people ask me to train them to DM that I could call it my own Dungeon Master Bootcamp. Funnily enough…there is a final test. I also give a test to new players to figure out what class they want to play, almost like an aptitude test.

Npc's name is Ready McRedshirt the third. He comes from a long family line of being disposable.

[dyegoeduardosantossilva]

And my players keep getting angry at me and telling me I don't prepare enough just because I don't know the name of the goddamn npc they are never going to refer to using their name

[InfinityZeroEX]

I laughed probably waaay more than I should have at, “Wait you can win?”

[silverfang]

5% plan, 80% improv, 15% waiting for my instigator player to get bored.

NPC names are easy. I have a name generator that I use for the campaign setting (usually superhero, but there are other ones for sci-fi, fantasy, etc...) and have a sticky note with several names ready-to-go. When the players want to ask the name of the pizza delivery guy, consult a tax attorney, or find a fence for exotic jewelry: I just grab my list and pick the first name that sounds like a decent fit (I have 5-6 on the list, some sound appropriate for drug dealers and some sound like stockbrokers).

Cross the name out when you use it. Also, edit it into the GM notes on your computer (the ones you printed for the session wouldn't have it, but you can check your computer if you need the name for a future session).

I'm utterly terrible at coming up with names on the spot, so I plan ahead for it.

[cherrzy]

“How much suffering can you take?” “Well I am a middle child.” That reply is wild but so true.

[Dion-Rose]

😂😂😂😂😂
The level of relatability on the math questions though!!!

[Rixec]

"Do you have ADHD?"

"What?"

[drakan]

"what's the name of that NPC"
skip

well that works
