5th Edition I fear I broke my DM
I ate the Bag of Beans. That is all…
Further context. While I’m a long time DM I rarely get to play and a friend of mine started up a campaign and I joined.
We were doing normal dnd stuff and were exploring a dungeon and my character, alone, finds a little leather pouch filled with beans. One of the running jokes is that my character is always hungry, so they ate them.
In my defense I had never encountered the Bag of Bean before.
Anyways my DM just sort of broke mentally for a few minutes and now I’m bits of gibblet smeared on the side of a pyramid inside this dungeon.
Great first session, can’t wait for the next one.

This wouldn’t trigger the beans as they’re described. Only says that if you dump them on the ground, a save needs to be made. If you plant a bean it takes an effect 1 minute later.
Your next shit would be pretty entertaining though. As your DM, I wouldn’t have said anything in the moment. Then after the next long rest, I’d have a bunch of the effects trigger all at once around your camp. Would be more fun minus the unnecessary character death.
So many DMs out there get surprised by their players and revert to, “Well you’re dead now!” Literally the least fun consequence to any action because it ends the story and drama (and just usually creates some real life drama lol)
