Silly epigram about Dungeons & Dragons (piefed.social)

A while ago I had a flash of inspiration for a pun in Latin about Dungeons & Dragons. So naturally, I wrote an epigram about it. I thought the Latinists here might appreciate it. I've also added an English translation.

Quandocumque placet ludum hunc agitare draconum,
praetori bilis confluit in stomacho.
Namque poeta mihi sapientia verba probavit
expressitque suo carmine: carpe DieM.

Every time I get to play this awesome game of dragons,
our Dungeon Master feels an anger rising strong inside.
The problem seems to be I like to listen to the poets
and Horace taught me well his words of wisdom: carpe DM.

When are vowels with dash accents required? (lemmy.eco.br)

It's a thing I've seen in some places. The long vowels get the (¯) accent, but in other places (like LLPSI or the Duolingo course), there are none. Where are those accents used?
