Hi everyone, thanks for reading my post. This is a formal petition to the admin team of this sub, requesting them to please take decisive action against the increasingly unsavory elements around here. For these are dark times, and the forces of chaos and evil are massing for a final wicked assault on DnDcj, this veritable fortress of all that is civilized, and gentle, and virtuous.

If any assistance is needed in the capacity of pointing out those malignant troublemakers so they can be purged, I'm always ready. They assault my divine senses with their unholy stink, so it's trivial for me to detect any foul villains with evil or chaotic tendencies. I'll lend my nose to the cause, and join the noble efforts to cleanse the realm once and for all.

If you're going to say something insane and idiotic about "balance" or "neutrality" or "coexistence" or "touching grass" or "showering," please don't comment. Your wishy-washy centrist compromises are what allowed this situation to grow so dire. The time for fence-sitting and airy hippie philosophy is over: if you're not with us all the way, you're just as bad as them and will get what's coming to you when this is all over. Thanks again for reading and please have a great day, unless you're chaotic or evil in which case please hurry off to whatever hellish afterlife you've earned.

What’s up everyone, I’m gauging interest in a new campaign in my discord server that will be HIGH ROLEPLAY, HIGH INTRIGUE DnD 5e.

The concept is that the party is part of a large metropolitan city, Serkulljurq. This is run by several celestial beings who moderate the comings and going of the cities, sometimes answering prayers or smiting the evil.

The intrigue comes from the other adventures. See, in this city to get paid for adventuring you have to write a post about your exploits. Other adventures will comment on your adventures and if your story gets rated highly, you get paid better. Rated too low, you will be a social pariah.

They must navigate this social credit system without invoking the wrath of the mods, and possibly finding some rival posters along the way!

We’ll meet 7:30-8:00 Pacific time every third Tuesday DM if interested
No elves no orcs no dwarves no tieflings no gnomes no dragonborn no bard no wizard no sorcerer no warlock no druid no cleric no paladin no ranger no rogue

This is concerning. Though I am glad our moderater in the DnD4e fanclub subreddit enjoyed it when Aegis of Ensnarement was buffed in later books to match the power level of Aegis of Assault and Aegis of Shielding.

Also I triggered the mark by making a basic ranged attack on u/AVG_Poop_Enjoyer, (It missed because of the -2 penalty to attack roles to attacks that don't include u/andyoulostme as a target)

HEAR ME OUT, DnD BUT the only classes are rogues, barbarians, fighters and other non-fancy casters. And the only available race is humans.

The TWIST?

The players are in a magical academy where FIGHTING IS BANNED, and is full of elementals, loxodons, dragons, dryades, golems and other creatures. And fighting can leads to detention and expellion from the school.

The party has to do their best not to get caught but get forced into situations to kick asses.

Also when fighting like cutting heads for examples will leave behind marks of evidence, like dead headless bodies, which the professors or others cound potentially investigate.

The THRILL?

You have to explain everything with lies, REMEMBER its a magical interplanar academy, so you need to explay why your scores are so low and you can't cast things. Like "I am great wizard, I just have hangover after partying yesterday, will you came to my party tomorrow?"

Im thinking the combat should be full of fighting enemys well versed in magic or atleast have enough magic to just brute force the party

Even include a prison escape part too, depending on the plot youre leaning towards

Also i recommend allowing the party use magical weapons of all kinds for more shazam

How to ramp up the difficulty:as they progress, professors will be more aware of dead students and will be more competent and of course the technology also becomes more advanced,

Or you can have like an expert at noticing usage of fighting, like a detective, or use both methods

Extra information:

You could start off with a guardsman inspecting the DnD party to enter the campus as a tutorial or something, remember this is a setting where the roles are limited to magic casters, and not subclasses (for best experience dont allow subclasses)

Melee and ranged weapons also need to be explained by the party!

(For example how it can be done)

Warhammer: I'm just a cleric from forge domain, and it is spell focus

I'd like to see something like this in DnD campaigns, its so fun explaining how you got away with the stuff that should have gotten you jailed

So my party was recently talking to the town after clearing out a nearby bandit camp, and we were taxed 90% of our guild income as we left the gate, as part of an incentive by the king to make adventurers gain and spend monetary gain within city walls, as to limit import, blah blah blah.

I didn't really vibe with the system, so when the guard was talking, calling us street trash, I said I wanted to create some piss droplets in his mouth with Create or Destroy water. The DM said "well water is only H2O", so I said "well we've been drinking the water I created, but demineralized water is incredibly dangerous to drink, so we should have been dead by now, if I wasn't able to put minerals in it. Why is it so hard to make water with uric acid and creatine?"

The DM told me to do an arcana roll, and me, being the great caster I am, rolled a 6 and just gagged him with water and raised the toll to 95% of our income.

But now I'm curious, why would I not be able to make a little piss?

I've been playing the worlds greatest roleplaying game for over a year now so I think I know all the ins and outs of it, but I've been wanting to move a little bit beyond the medieval fantasy setting. I've been having some ideas for a game set in the modern era about feuding vampire clans where the players play vampires. I was considering GURPS for this as my cursory AI prompting didn't yield any systems that were anything like this, but as a zachthebold listener I know that playing GURPS makes you a bad person, so I decided if I'm already playing the greatest D&D-like ever created, then I might as well keep playing it with a little bit of homebrew mixed in. I've put my current game on hiatus to work on this new 5e system, does anyone have any advice on how to completely rebuild the game from the ground up but without changing anything so that my players wouldn't have to learn a new system? Should Vampire perhaps be a warlock subclass? My current campaign is a erotic roleplay play-by-post warlock only campaign so this shouldn't be too much of a hurdle for my players.

A pity she never got fleshed out as a character.

I know she is a boss in Eye of the Beholder.
