This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Which I always find kind of hilarious since it’s basically expressed on the first page of the DMG.

I'm not saying that you should follow the sparse rules of 5e to the tee. But, who actually reads the DMG? It's absolutely non-essential for running the game, even though it has some really nifty Infos for the aspiring DM.

It’s like the PHB. You don’t need to read it cover to cover but there’s a couple of chapters you’ll want to read entirely up front and then it’s just a resource with suggestions on how to adjudicate various scenarios.
