    Hey guys! Back in grade 10 in '83 (yes,I'm old) my friend invited me to play D&D. We sat there, OG-style with the DM behind the tri-fold manila folder & pencil & paper + 1st DM manual. It was nothing but take a few steps, dice challenge (without any non-book elaboration), repeat, ad nauseum. Once, a female character popped up, and I tried to flirt with her (because I was SO bored!) And everyone got frustrated, but (dice rolls) I scored.😜 But it was so boring that it wasn't until THAT ep of Community that I got interested in D&D again. Thank you so MUCH for getting it right! And much love and support to my fellow Non-Binaries! Happy Pride!🌈

    Crazy to rewatch all the past seasons of D20 and see how far Ally has come as a DND player, don't get me wrong Kristen in fantasy high is endlessly funny but the way they played Liam in crown of candy, Margret in starstruck, and Tim goose in neverafter gives me so much inspiration for character creation and how to role-play in my home games. I had just started playing DND around the time I got into D20 and knowing how new Ally was to the game and seeing how they've been able to play such badass and funny characters pushes me to be a better PC. They are truly one of the funniest people and I'm so excited for future D20 seasons!

    When comes to bards I feel like it depends on who plays them or the way the dm can explain what the role is that gives it its reputation for instants I played a bard that’s ace but used the charm to help convince or intimidate those they meant to help there party instead of just trying to be the star and played better supporting role.

    the aggression towards bards lmaooo! I personally also dislike the stereotypical bards, but the class itself is actually one of my favorites to play because its such a cool mix of arcane and weapon fighting if you play it well! All the Casanova fckboy energy is so unnecessary with bards and gives them a bad rap imo
