Psychic powers? Pff. If my players' behavior is any indicator, snorting bard ashes will give you delusions of competency, and everyone else a headache.

This is amazing!

Snarf, if your Pumpkin Spice RPG contest entry doesn't include bards (or bard ashes), I'm gonna be sad.

And I took that personally.

Hello there, fellow creatives! I am resurrecting this thread for a brief moment to let the Iron DMs and judges know about another creative writing contest here at EN World: the Pumpkin Spice RPG contest! I should explain. You know how this time of the year, everything seems to be "pumpkin...

Just a heads--up, the deadline is only 11 days away! Don't wait too long to get your entry posted to this thread. We've got only one entry at the moment but 5 prizes to win... I'm just sayin', the odds of getting a prize look pretty good at the moment. ;)

Mmm, yes, rapiers are very easy to delete. It's the howls of outrage, hours-long debates, and constant whining from the other side of the DM screen that prove a little harder to remove. :cautious: I've learned to just roll with it. Most recently, I renamed them as "cutlasses" and nobody...

Every now and then, whenever a character scores a "hit" on a target, or when their character gets "hit" by an opponent, I will ask the player to describe it for the table. I don't do this all the time, just every so often to get the players' input on the narrative. And not always in D&D...

Me, as a DM: Another rapier, how original. (eyeroll) Let me guess, high dexterity and a two-level dip of spellcaster, too? Me, as a player: Yeah so my next character has a high dex and a two-level dip of spellcaster, so I'm going with the rapier... I'm not sure how that can be fixed...

I know right? That's why I decided to post mine now, typos and all, instead of waiting any longer. I know myself pretty well, and I could tell that with the way this month was going? I was either going to miss the deadline entirely, or I was going to end up posting something at the very last...

Well, here goes nothing: I just posted my entry for the 2025 Pumpkin Spice RPG contest. She's spicy.

Woops! Pay no attention to the typo in my entry's introduction...I forgot to replace the temporary placeholder name (Starbuck) with the actual dragon's name (Rubiaceae). So my entry is the first one, but I hope it won't be the only one for long. Remember: this contest is for any EN World...
