DM Wrath List

I’ve received a startling number of requests for this.

There are some actions a player can take during a D&D session that cause me to roll on a DM Wrath list. Most often, I roll because a player (or DM) has made a sufficiently bad pun, but it’s generally for whenever somebody has irritated me in a comedic way. The only wraths that are permanent are the ones that are funny, and every once in a while I change up the list to keep it fresh.

The original list is here, but here’s the one I’m currently using:

1 – You develop a phobia of the DM’s choice.
