Hello and greetings from a humble Norwegian DM! So I plan on taking the party across the sea to my reimagining of my dear country, Norway. I thought that since I get most of my inspiration from the real world, it would be fun to run a game in "the real world". For some time now I have been thinking it over and I have a come up few main points I would like to have in this world:
- Towns, Cities and the like gets their real world historical significance. By this I mean that I would like places to keep their significant roles accordingly to their real world history (E.g. Bergen would be a place for commerce and Oslo would be the capitol.)
- Creatures and places from Norwegian, Sami, Finnish, Swedish folklore. Here I am thinking about having mountains as Trolls turned into rock, the northern light can actually take you away and we have Huldra and Draugen (google it) as creatures the party can meet and fight.
- The people either follow Norse gods, or Sami Shamanism. Because I feel this would be appropriate.
- Hobbits in Kilts wielding Great Bagpipes of War I want tribes of barbarian hobbits somewhere because I dunno... I think its cool?
This is basically the idea of it and I would like to know if anyone have done something similar and had some tips for a (relatively) new DM. :^)
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
They’re on standbi

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

It was about a weak back.
