- ⚖️ A player, Jaimie, was denied XP for a D&D encounter because they were out getting food for the group.
- 💡 The justices sided with Jaimie, arguing that acts of service should be rewarded, and compared it to the Pokémon precedent of giving XP to all party members.
- 🗣️ The DM's decision to message the group about the XP denial after the session was deemed a bad move, leading to the campaign's end.
Case 2: The Loud Magic Wind
- 🌬️ A player used the spell 'Wind Wall' to block guards, but the DM ruled that the resulting wind would be extremely loud, alerting others.
- ❓ Players argued that magic wind should be silent, but the justices agreed with the DM, stating that high winds, magical or not, produce noise.
- 📜 The DM's compromise of an Arcana check was seen as accommodating, but the players were still deemed in the wrong for arguing against the DM's ruling.
Case 3: The Dog on Camera
- 🐶 A player repeatedly turns on their camera and mic to showcase their dog during roleplaying scenes, drowning out the game.
- 😠 The submitter, who is not a dog person, feels uncomfortable and wants to ban dogs from the virtual table.
- ⚖️ The justices suggested that while a full ban might be difficult, the player could insist on no dogs during roleplay or on the mic, and suggested the player might need new friends if the issue persists.
Case 4: Dice Christ Confessions
- 💍 A couple rolled dice for their wedding ceremony, with the officiant lying about one player rolling a natural 1 to announce a natural 20.
- 💔 The justices ruled this was a lie and suggested the couple get divorced and remarried, with a vow renewal involving a dice roll in front of a registered DM.
- 🎲 Another confession involved a DM using D12s for all rolls and assigning a Coven Hag as a familiar for a Beast Master Ranger, which was deemed cursed and excommunicated.
Case 5: The Bag of Holding Nuke
- 💥 Players planned to exploit the rule of placing two Bags of Holding inside each other to open a gate to the Astral Plane, effectively removing opponents from a PvP match.
- 🚫 The DM allowed the initial discussion of the rule but ultimately canceled the PvP match due to the controversy.
- ⚖️ The justices suggested the DM should have stepped in sooner and that the PvP match should have been played with stricter item limitations or a 'capture the bag' variant.
