Or when the barbarian writes a song for the bard

[@Arken_mancer]

I think this is is what happens when a rogue takes a level of bars. "Oh, I can sneak attack their feels too!"

[@justinthymemcminn7643]

This is how I'm going to play off my rogue triflings interest in the glass cannon sorcer of the group. Little bit of context: *Tieflings intelligence score is 6, wisdom 18 *tiefling grew up as an abused, neglected bootcamp child from a very spartan style village on an island barely big enough to have it's own port *basically I play a character that is stupid, street smart, observant, very VERY slow to trust, hydrophobic, risky, and she has no idea what love is... she's never even heard the word... oh and she weilds a cursed weapon with it's own vampiric presence... or did till my character "fed it" an immortal soul, effectively making their strongest allie a vegetable and the evil presence within the weapon strong enough to take a humanoid form and do things like teleport in and out of pocket planes and kill things by snapping her fingers... * sorcerer is very young, somewhat afraid of my character and has not gotten out of his work space at all until the war forced the research team he was part of out to a 2ndary secret location 1 year ago, when the tieflings "task force" type party went "missing" (when they got stuck in a pocket plane for a hot minute because my character turned the solare taking shelter in that pocket plane into a vegetable...)

[@Alphawolfmangaming]

Everyone saying this songs just for melee classes but I'd argue it's even more fitting for ranged classes. Nothing says you love and trust someone then letting them into a position that gives you a disadvantage and trusting them not to take advantage of you.

[@aaronimp4966]

💯 Trust is the number one most important thing to foster in a relationship. Being able to put your life in the hands of your S.O. and have confidence that she won't hurt you is 100% the hottest thing in any relationship.

[@firestorm165]

I choose to interpret this as a love story between a rogue and a bard and I adore every second of it. Also with a voice like that you cannot convince me that you don't have some fey or siren in your ancestry

[@laurenguzaldo2898]

Aww. I met my SO through DND. The across the table heart eyes are real.

[@KaelTheAdventurer]

So, the Bard in the party I'm DMing had a little one-on-one time with a lady he was trying to woo. She asked him to play a song for her, so I had him roll Performance and then put this song on (his character is male, but I reeeeeally wanted to show my players this song because I like it so much; he was cool about it, kinda shrugged and said "I can do falsetto"). The lady applauds the Bard, and he asks her "What do you do for fun?" Now, I hadn't actually thought about what this lady - a cool NPC who is captaining the boat that the party is currently on - does for fun, so I rolled two d20s, hoping for some inspiration. I got a 6... and a 9. After I explained this to the party - and after what felt like two solid minutes of laughter - I said "'I'll *show* you what I like to do for fun.' And then we fade to black and go see what the rest of the party is doing!" And that's the story of how this wonderful song you made featured as the backdrop for a moment that my party and I will never forget.

[@coldbritto]

This is like THE CUTEST thing I've heard. You really knocked it out of the park

I don't know if you'll ever see this comment, Ginny, but one of my favorite moments from my wedding last October is dancing to this as our last dance. It was 10:30pm, we were both exhausted and in pain (chronic back issues), but we took the 3 and a half minutes at the end of the night just to dance to this, even though we were the only ones left on the dance floor. So, thank you for this song and that memory!

I get that you're kidding but.... can we not joke around about this? It's not "etiquette," it's safety guidelines, and it's not a responsible idea to imply that some people just don't need to worry about social distancing or masks. David up here seems to think nobody needs to bother. That's not a necessary argument to start, or misinformation to spread, under this awesome video.
