Humble Beginnings

I wanted to start this blog off with great triumph. A session where everything went well. Instead I rolled a natural 1.

It’s game day, I've brought my books, battle maps and prepared a thrilling combat. Everything is ready to go except.. the character sheets.
A classic blunder. But when the dice don't fall in our favour, we do what we can with the result. The story will not often go as we expect it, and it's important to be ready for these situations.

Instead of trying to scramble through remembering character details and a scuffed version of an otherwise well planned combat encounter, we pivoted. Cracked open a few emergency board games and made the most of it. It's a tough situation when things don't go according to plan, but TTRPG's are full of moments where things don’t work out. Today was a lesson in accepting failure and moving forward with confidence... and making some digital copies of character sheets to prevent further mishaps.
