I love D&D and have an on-going game that occurs twice a month on the first and third Saturday evenings of the month. The game has been going for a little over two years and I love it so much....

I’ve been trying for a bit to get together a group or find one to join here with no success. I’ve posted in two communities here on lemmy, replied to a few peoples posts, and each time it seems that I and the others don’t get enough people together to start a game....

I can not find it anywhere, it was a competitive game where each person would control a party of adventures trying to achieve the same goal....

Picked up the young adventurer books thinking that they had simpler kid rules, but I guess they have no rules (you’re supposed to just be motivated to buy a starter set or something). So I played with my niece (8) and nephew (5) without any rules and they LOVED it. Right after our first short adventure they wanted to play...

After starting some earnest homebrewing efforts for magic items in my campaign, I was getting frustrated with the limited options for item cards I could give to my players. I am not great with illustrator/photoshop, have terrible handwriting, didn't particularly like the form-fillable cards I found online, and the...

Played a bit years ago for about 6 months in person, have never played online. Starting with a player from scratch; built one on D20 as it seemed like it would be the simplest and tried to join a few games - their d20 or discord servers have absolutely oceans of varied rules and restrictions to dig through and many want you to...

These items were all created by a wizard in my game who is insane. He also has a short attention span and left many items unfinished....

[OC] Ring of Deadly Digits...

When a dragon looms overhead, casting its dreadful shadow upon the town, panic and chaos ensue. Peasants abandon their homes in haste, guards grasp their weapons with trembling hands, and even the most seasoned heroes of the town shiver with dread. However, the Olympian is the exception, harboring no fear within their heart....

Just a note in case anyone is worried I’m adding a mage to every encounter, I very rarely use counterspell against my players; it’s one of the spells I consider to have high “fun-ruining” potential....

I just had a great campaign idea. A BBEG sets up a bunch of small dungeons with “keys” that when put together will access his main base for the party to break into....

Lots of stuff here, but the basics of the class seem really exciting to play:...

Been playing through baldurs gate 3 recently as I’m sure many of you have been and started to think that githyanki are really similar to the mind flayers. Both see themselves as somewhat independent but have a greater queen they serve, have a fairly utilitarian society to say the least, possess psionic abilities that are very...

I had an idea for an offensive consumable item, and I figured I’d share it and get some feedback. Its power scales with the user, so it should presumably be pretty rare. on consuming, it casts a spell, but I didn’t want to make the spell separately so I’m just describing the item as though it was a spell too. it perhaps...

Hei all!...

Hello everyone!...

Designers Jason Tondro and Makenzie De Armas explain the details shuffled into the newest D&D product....

Hey y’all, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I was wondering if there was any advice here, perhaps people who have been through something similar....

Update: thanks all for the very helpful advice! I think it’s really special that not one of you dunked on my DM. You all seem very supportive of a broad range of play styles and that’s a sign of a very healthy community....
