hello! saw the tags of your latest post and, if you feel like doing so, would really really like to hear more about Perpetually Exhausted Cleric Aizawa vs his melee fighter teammates and "every NPC has a different and unique voice but also just a LOT of shouting" Dungeon Master Mic

(the first BNHA DnD post, featuring the tags)

Nemuri is playing a barbarian. Tensei is playing a straight up fighter. Thirteen is playing a paladin. All of them know how to balance a party, they’ve just elected to Not because Fuck Yeah Melee Combat. None of them except Thirteen have ranged combat (they never remember they have Spiritual Weapon, though, so functionally no one has ranged combat), none of them have a single level in Medicine, none of them have a halfway decent Wisdom. Nemuri has a negative Wisdom modifier and oh boy does it ever fuck them.

Aizawa, upon being handed a character sheet, appalled: “I should be a rogue just to fucking spite you.”

Mic--who went by Mic even in high school because it was a great name, fight him about it--spent a full week basically nonstop pestering Aizawa into agreeing to play. His stumbling block wasn’t so much “I don’t want to play DnD” as it was “you want me to play DnD with THOSE FOOLS?????” Aizawa feels utterly, viscerally validated in that concern by the end of his first session, when he’s blown almost every spell he has on healing Nemuri except for the Zone of Truth he’s about to lay down on his own fucking party because NO ONE TELLS HIM ANYTHING. THIRTEEN PLEASE TELL HIM WHAT GOD YOU WORSHIP, HE’S GOT ONE MORE SPELL SLOT AND HE’LL PUT HOLD PERSON ON YOUR ASS.

mic: SO ARE YOU COMING BACK NEXT FRIDAYaizawa: pls turn off caps lockmic: NO. ARE YOU COMING BACKaizawa is typing....aizawa is typing....aizawa: fine

Mic as a DM is very shades of Griffin McElroy. Enthusiasm and good storytelling covereth a multitude of sins. Pros: if you say it with enough authority and it’s not OBVIOUSLY against the rules, or if it’s extremely narratively satisfying or absolutely hysterical, he’ll let you do it. Cons: if it’s sufficiently narratively satisfying to fuck you over, he’s gonna make it happen. On the other end of things, Aizawa figures out pretty quick that actually no one in this party understands the rules of DnD and therefore he can do some HORRIFYING stuff without anyone thinking to stop him. This is the man whose solution to “well my quirk only works for a limited period of time and also doesn’t actually physically stop anyone” was to come up with the most ridiculously effective stealth weapon available. Can he do damage? He does not NEED to do damage, all he needs to do is stand well back from the fighting, cast Sanctuary on himself, and wait patiently to drop the most ridiculously OP heal in history on his stupid-ass party. Aizawa quickly goes from Newbie to Bona Fide Pain In The Ass.

“You absolutely cannot do that.”“Yes I can, and I put sticky notes in the relevant pages of the book to prove it.”“......okay, heal everyone up to full health I guess????? Fuck you Shouta.”“Mmhm.”

This is also the story of how Tensei kindly takes Mic aside after their dozenth session and goes “hey, have you considered actually asking him out rather than just having shopkeepers flirt with his character or??????” But that’s not really here nor there.
