you are praised as possibly the greatest DM to ever exist, but how often do you get to play, and when you do, what is your favorite type of character/race?

I play in a Ravenloft-esque D&D campaign run by Jeremy Crawford that convenes about once a month. My character is a halfling rogue (arcane trickster) named Norrell Darbek. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/OgLO5T1uUM

If you tell me what he looks like I’ll draw him!!

Norrell is a Dova, the halfling equivalent of a Vistani. He's very theatrical and sometimes enhances his success with magical fireworks (courtesy of the prestidigitation spell). "Smarter than he looks" is usually how I describe him. https://t.co/BUJsz6Ke7M

“Dova magic!” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Any specific hair color/style eye color or anythin like tht? Honestly, I've never visualized him in a specific way. As often happens with characters I play, their actions and behavior are more important to me than their appearance. I don't even know Norrell's hair color.

Here is how I decided to interpret @ChrisPerkinsDnD 's Norrell Darbek,
I really can't say how huge a part of my life DnD has been.

So im dm-ing my first game ever tomorrow for some friends. The thing I’m most worried about is roleplaying all of the npcs and stuff. I’m gunna super bad at this. Lol
Any Advice? “NPC Voice” is more than simply how you sound. Even if you’re not changing your voice, what words are used, speaking pace, and tone can help make an NPC memorable. Just be sure to keep notes because there’s no doubt you’ll forget what each NPC talks like!

This is great advice. Physicality, pace, emphasis, expressions, and posture exhibit very different character presentations with very little vocal shift (if any)

The secret of my success? No one has yet figured out that I’m actually a colony of hyper intelligent scorpions hiding in human clothes.

The idea of “but the adventure says,” is a vestige of old eras, and DMs have been increasingly understanding that the job is not to faithfully recreate the written word but to help create a fun experience. https://t.co/09iOVAByz7

“I’ve seen DMs do things you wouldn’t believe. Drow kneeling to catch a downed PC in a lightning bolt. Stalling to make a party lose a timed event. Lying about how an encounter was written. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.” My favorite was the DM who would describe a scene, then change it based on our actions to hose us.
