I have been the Dungeon master for this group for about 9 months. They are the first group I have ever DM'd for and this message makes it all worth it. I know I'm not the best DM and I know I make a lot of mistakes but players like these make me forget all that and let me just have fun being their Dungeon Master. These are the kind of players I hope every DM has and I am incredibly lucky to have them be my first group.

Every DM makes mistakes.

Your success is measured in your players joy. You're successful! Congratulations!

Thanks. This really means a lot to me.

Hey i've been DMing for years and I still get my players pointing out painful glaring mistakes that I make. You just gotta keep everything going smoothly. If you ride with the mistakes it can help make it seem like they didn't even happen.

I think that's the skill I'm lacking the most. I'm awful at flowing with my mistakes.

SOME days you just CANT get rid of a BOMB!

Both happen in the first 5 minutes. This is both a work of unparalleled cinematic genius, and the apex achievement of humanity.

Didn't the bomb get carried away to a safe distance by a heroic porpoise off screen or something like that?

Who would've thought campy would've been so popular back then

The 1980's Batman movie was good, as was Batman Returns... i liked the Tim Burton/Michael Keaton Batman movies, they had a lot of character in them.

Oh, yeah, and its always good to support you DM, they put a lot of time and effort to make your adventures a reality... uh, fantasy... they take a lot of effort to make them happen.

It's pretty great if you liked the show. It's basically Adam West Batman turned up to 11.

What the fuck is "liking a movie ironically"?

In a “so bad it’s good way”, I think.

That’s so sweet! There’s definitely a high you get as DM when you feel your players having fun/getting invested in the world and plot you set up for them. Cheers to you and your players :)
