  • I jumped during the API fiasco, but in my case the story is a bit different I think.

    One subreddit I used to spend a lot of time on was r/dndmemes. I was a relatively new DM at the time and loved hearing everyone’s stories and takes on things there. I even made a number of memes on the shenanigans that happened in my own campaign. Some of them took off way more than I could have ever imagined.

    When the API fiasco started, that subreddit was one of the ones that participated in the blackout. When Reddit started sending threats to the mods to open it up, they asked what the community wanted. That’s when it went into what they called ‘goblin mode’. Basically everything had to be an NSFW meme since Reddit couldn’t advertise as much on those subreddits.

    Reddit ended up removing just about all the mods and left the subreddit in a broken state. Practically nobody could post there. When they spun up attempt.network, I made the jump and haven’t looked back since










  • In the first campaign I ever played in, I ran a necromancy wizard that was neutral good.

    Basically, he grew up a hermit and has zero awareness of the taboos surrounding his school of magic. However, because of his alignment, he has a very different approach to how he uses his magic.

    Whenever he has to raise undead to fight for him, he does it by asking for their aid rather than outright raising them. He approaches the practice more as a way to preserve the lives of the living rather than a way of amassing servants or power. When he no longer needs their help, he thanks them and tries to make sure they either return to their resting place or are given a proper burial.

    His overarching goal is to ensure everyone lives a long, full life and wishes to find a way to resurrect others in the way other classes can to help achieve that goal.

    Didn’t get to play him for long since the group kinda fell apart
