DnD Hot

Help me come up with some doctrine for a small society in my game.

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...

So, a guy behind the first two "Gamers" movies is trying to crowdfund fourth one as well. To which I say: sure, why not?

I'm usually very skeptical about belated sequels/cash-grabs, but I have fond memories of first two "Gamers" films. They came out long before Twitch streams and YouTube actual plays made (relatively) popular again.

So, why not? Let them make another one!

hey spell casters, dungeon delvers, and adventurers

what's one tip you would give to new players?

juergen_hubert,
@juergen_hubert@thefolklore.cafe avatar

@craigofinspiration Think about your character's motivations. Why do they do what they do?

This includes: "Why do they want to hang out with their fellow player characters?" Player characters don't need to agree on everything, but they should be willing to work together.

Apparently some YouTubers will get the new players handbook next week. I guess Nerd Immersion mentioned it.

@darjr so much for "we'll be working on it in May"

I think it's kind of weird how front and center the 80s D&D cartoon characters are in the artwork for the 2024 revisions when the majority of 5e fans weren't even alive when they aired.

Tim_Eagon,
@Tim_Eagon@dice.camp avatar

@taichara @kenmarable IDK, if they were going launch the cartoons again or some other related media, you'd think they would've announced that already to try to synergize the releases. That said, WotC is really bad at that.

Didn't link to this on the holiday, but I did get the lastest addition to my 3E swashbuckling game up. The week it's a lot of delving into the perennial and surprisingly relevant question of "what is a hit point?"

Yeah, Rob was a great DM. He also had a green faerie dragon private investigator named Jade Spade, a teddy bugbear demigod who sent anyone who acted "not friendly" into a pocket dimension, and had my Lenape fighter/transmuter kidnapped by a spelljamming ship that read her memories and gave its crew a new mission as the Algonquin Scro, who protected North America from Eurpoean colonization. The Roanoake colony? That was them.

Biiiiig Rima.
My character, Rima Sahr, is a rune knight fighter. Rune Knights studied the magic of giants and have the ability to grow a size larger in combat. If you then case enlarge/reduce on them, they double in size again.
I have a 3D printer.

She's already the size of an action figure and I still need to print a huge and a gargantuan version (at 18th level I can become size huge before casting the growth spell)

jonathankoren,
@jonathankoren@sfba.social avatar

@Artemis201 I’m looking forward to these massive figures. It’s fun that you can literally just scale up your figurine instead of resort to a torn sheet of paper that’s kinda big enough.

Artemis201,
@Artemis201@mstdn.social avatar

@jonathankoren I've got the next size up printing right now. We'll see how it turns out.
I'll probably wait on the gargantuan one. I've still got 13 levels before I get there, so a good year and a half before I expect to need it.
I'll be sure to post the huge mini when it's finished

Spending a not-so-lazy afternoon working on my #ElementalApocalypse campaign for #DnD. The Heroes of Hope are battling their way through corrupt Hool Wastes, fighting demons, undead, and worse.

Naturally, I need to find a few more enemies for them to fight. Good thing I brought a few books... #Greyhawk #DnD5e #TTRPG

My Kids D&D group is back in a board game cafe! We got thorough our second year at Strixhaven (not in real time, thankfully) which involved, somehow, singing We Will Rock You. And me, the adult at the table, trying to keep the noise level down.

OMG. I love my players, they're delightful and so much fun <3

My tinkerer smog-punk gobin is opinionated, organized, innovative & helpful.

Xabal specializes in making threads that connect things & little spring-powered hurling devices that strap onto the back of their clockwork lobster.

Prior to the story we're telling, they were an itinerant Tinker who used a rowboat with automated oars to get around the canal-city.

[While Xabal knows spells and is an Artificer for mechanics, the story is that everything is dirty clockworks of my world's goblins]

My dice rolls pretty much sucked all session during our game today, but the dice were clearly saving themselves for a natural 20 on a Guiding Bolt attack against a wyrmling that was hurting two of my party members.

Blasted it out of the goddamned sky 🙂

@AndreasDavour @craigofinspiration I fell in love with the 1e version of the ranger because it could cast both druid and magic user spells!

@AndreasDavour@dice.camp avatar

@Tim_Eagon @craigofinspiration maybe there's a reason I also find druids to be kind of cool. I have never played one, though.

I had this great idea for my homebrew campaign I totally want to share and get input on except I'm followed by players everywhere! (not a bad thing, I love my players)

The discord server I talk about TTRPG stuff in is my crafting server I run, and several players are in that one, lmao

And several players follow me here.

I have no where to scream about the thing!

folks: I'm looking for a good supply of maps that would work for a long-forgotten city in a steaming jungle. I really just want the maps - I can make a normal dungeon map myself, but I'm less confident in above-ground ruined cities.
Any suggestions? I'm looking at Ruins of Adventure and Dwellers of the Forbidden City (gonna grab the pdfs online) but if you can think of anything that fits the bill please let me know!

PiiiepsBrummm,
@PiiiepsBrummm@chaos.social avatar

@nickdrawthing First idea: look for the maps of real abandoned cities. There should be enough around from Greece, Roman Empire, Aztec Empire, ...

Take Pompeii. Lots of published maps to draw inspiration from. 😄

@PiiiepsBrummm s great idea, thank you!

Tales of the Valiant verwendet das Konzept "Rasse" nicht und setzt statt dessen auf "Lineage" und "Heritage" (etwa: Abstammung und Kultur). Hier ist ein Template, um eigene Heritage zu kreieren:

https://koboldpress.com/heritage-how-to-write-your-own-tales-of-the-valiant-rpg-heritages/

"Lineage is what kind of being you are: an elf, a dwarf, a gnome. Heritage is your culture and learned traits gained during formative years: forest idyll, underground city, traveling merchant band."

@YUMDM I like to think of it as "a 1e-alike without all the weird stuff" but with the modern convenience of ascending armor class.
