I recently watched the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode in which they did a parody of “The Island of Dr Moreau” and thought a mad scientist trying to turn people into animals could make for a fun minor character in my campaign. My players are en route to a dungeon and should be there in a few sessions, I’m thinking of...

I wrote a short article exploring the history of Kobolds both in D&D and folklore and how it impacts the way we play them

Hi folks, I’m looking to join a game over zoom/google meet. Any recommendations of sites or discord servers where I could find a good group? Fyi I haven’t played in like 20 years, so still kind of a noob to playing online.

I am running a Tabaxi rogue that is currently 4th level....

Hello all, I wrote this article about the old English epic Beowulf’s influence on the RPG world. Check it out if that sounds interesting!

I’m not sure if I understand how this cantrip works. I really want to use it for silly things, like having my fun-sized -1 strength rogue smack a table indignantly, sending sparks flying everywhere and leaving a black mark on the wood, or sneaking up to a guard and soiling their pants, but that doesn’t really work, does it?...

Hey all, please direct me to any community that would better serve me for this question and I will gladly delete here and move it there....

Hey all, i am playing as a soulknive rogue in a curse of strahd campaign. ( fits the setting kinda) If i go to multiclass with bard which school should i choose? Or is this the complete wrong take? Is there another class which fits ok, like a fighter would be great for extra attack or a warlock to have a bit of spell backup....

My player just killed a boss that was supposed to take a lot of effort in 3 turns with random bullshit. I couldn’t be more proud.

I believe the title already gives a pretty good TLDR, but let me provide a little extra context....

Not really sure what to do about this situation. I have a group that meets monthly. We do a lot of roleplay, but a few of my players are very into being OP at combat. They want to build their characters the strongest and the best. So I alternatively get requests to both break rules and strictly apply rules so they’ll get...

First off, you have an amazing community here, congratulations. It really touches me to see lemmy getting big enough to be of actual help, rendering that other platform unnecessary. Thanks for your input recently....

Having diverse worlds and representing different types of people is a good thing. For something like skin colour, sexuality or gender it’s very easy to just say that your character posseses those qualities because it doesn’t necessarily change much about them. However, how do people feel about playing NPCs who are...

I’ve recently jumped into a game of Dragonlance despite the fact that all I know of D&D stems from Solasta & the old Neverwinter Nights games. I came to play an Elf Fighter that I want to subclass to Echo Knight. The GM was so friendly to let me rethink my choice of cantrip, which I humbly seek to be advised on. My current...

I’ve been a DM for about 3 years, and have predominantly run one-shots and short campaigns in DnD5e and PF2e. I have a player who persistently builds primary caster based characters, but then won’t do anything in combat but “I stab it with my dagger.” They rarely use cantrips, and basically won’t cast a leveled spell...

Whenever I enter a discord it’s like walking in halfway through ten conversations happening all at once....

Hey everyone! Just trying to figure out if what I’m thinking is a good idea or the worst idea ever. My group is only two sessions in. They started at level 5. I have them going into a supposed-to-die battle wherein they wake in hell and have to figure out how to get out (yadda yadda this is where the real story starts). I was...

I don’t know how but long story short my therapist wants to try a dnd session with me and wants me to dm. Are there any small like one player modules I could run? He wants to play a warlock if that helps.

Whenever I hear about D&D more often than not it seems like people go to great lengths to stay in character and roleplay...
