so last night we met up to play D&D but a few people couldn’t make it last minute and we didn’t want to go on ahead without them so we instead did a semi-canon filler episode and played ‘Never Have I Ever’ but as our characters sat round the campfire and it might be one of the best ideas we’ve ever had

The rules are the same as usual; your character can choose not to drink even if they should, or can lie/omit the truth, and others can call bullshit or ask someone to elaborate on their story. No dice need to be rolled, except maybe Con checks to see how drunk everyone is. It requires very little input from the DM (he actually layed as the NPC accompanying us) so it’s a low-effort session for everyone. It’s actually really good for getting into your character’s head as you’re forced to improv parts of their life you might not have thought about before, and also for fostering inter-party relationships, as we discovered some of our party members had a lot in common and earned some respect for each other. Also it was hilarious because we were also getting drunk in real life

If you want to try it, here’s some good questions that we had:

‘Never have I ever…’

• Fallen in love
  
• Resented the place I came from
• Pretended to be someone else
• Stolen something
• Broken a promise
• Seen a friend die
• Killed an innocent person
• Fornicated with a member of another race
• Been arrested for a crime

This is possibly the coolest filler session I’ve ever heard about! Even better than the Beach Episode!
