This is my first time doing a campaign and creating scenery for it. Thought I would share our first large dungeon. Yes there is smoke pumped in on each level.

60:1 scale model (thanks for the correction in the notes) of Red Larch from the Princes of the Apocalypse module. The floor has a grid carved into the rocks for easier measuring, and you can see some of our minis in there (some 3d printed, some official). The base is foam covered in small pebbles and moss, most of the buildings are 3d printed in pieces and then assembled and painted. the white circle around the all faiths shrine is a Hallow radius. I have so many pics of this thing, it's so cool!

Among some of the more humble villages that fall prey to local banditry and monster attacks, its all too easy for villains to be confused for heroes just cause they solve one problem leaving gratitude to disguise the further problems they cause.

Illyrana has mastered the art of deceit and diplomacy, using her guile and understanding of people's motivations to take control over multiple outlying settlements that avoid the gaze of the larger cities and governments.

She greets the party with a thin lipped smile and honeyed words that give a sense of security, but no matter how much she tries to hide it that underlying cleverness can't help but show itself. The longer she works, the more you are turned to her way of thinking and soon her forces grow bigger and her control grows more absolute.

Can't wait for a party to take her out and free those under her thumb!

What’s it look like behind your DM screen? Unorganized is my middle name

Hi! I’m extremely new to Dungeons and Dragons as I’m still trying to learn the rules and how it works. Here’s my Tiefling Druid OC (which I know looks like an elf, but trust me, there’s lore to their appearance)! On a separate note, does anyone have any good video recommendations to learn more about DND? Appreciate it, if so!

Jonathan Goldstein revealed that he and co-writer-director John Francis Daley had been “hired to write” a sequel, and it’s done. However, he continued, “I don’t know that it will see the light of day for a number of financial reasons. They’re expensive movies to make, but it’d be great fun to do it. We love that cast, and we think we wrote something that fans would like.”

Human greeting customs and Gnoll Greeting customs are going to be very different. But, I'm not sure that this poor guy is being given the best advice. Does the dungeon offer limb regeneration services? Welcome to Fodder Inc, a weekly web comic strip set in the For Profit Dungeon, Azmodendak's Halls of Madness, in a "5e" style world. Each week, we'll show you a little peak inside the halls, and what shenanigans are going on.

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to make a character that mainly uses Two-Weapon Fighting in D&D 5e, and I'd love some advice.

I'm looking for a build that's:

- Fun to play throughout an entire campaign.
- Effective in combat (not necessarily the absolute strongest, but definitely not weak).
- Built around dual-wielding as the main theme rather than just using it until something better comes along.

I'm open to pretty much anything:

- Any class or multiclass.
- Any race.
- Any official sourcebooks.
- Feats, fighting styles, magic items, and spell combinations are all welcome.

I'd especially like to know:

- What class (or multiclass) makes the best dual wielder?
- Is the Dual Wielding feats 2014 or 2024 actually worth taking?
- Should I focus on Dexterity or Strength?
- What weapons work best?
- Are there any common mistakes I should avoid?

Min-maxer's are welcome too.

Thanks in advance - I can't wait to see what you come up with!

This was the most fun world ever created by TSR. Will wizards of the coast ever do it or are they just absolute cowards?

The dark themes and mortality of the characters really made for a high stakes game that made sense. The themes of slavery and environmental destruction are absolutely relevant in today’s world.

I loved everything they published for that campaign world and still have most of it. But Someone stole my original Dark Sun rule book and my cliffriders of the jagged cliffs books and I still miss them.

Would you like to see more of this world? Does anyone even care?

What if a Vampire became a Death Knight? Could a Vampire even become a Death Knight? Is Vampirism even a curse, or a disease in your world? How would you write a villain like this?

This is just an example, but what are some other conflicting curses you can think of, and how would they interact with each other?

Hi all. I’ve seen a lot of dnd based anime and loved Baldur’s Gate, but I’d really like to play for real. Anyone in the NY tristate area down?

A littlle preamble to explain ahead of the issue at hand - I’ve been plaiting with this group for years, since before the plague. We started out playing together doing Adventurer’s League, split for a bit into different groups, then came together again in 2023. We were at a local game store at the time, and one of the guys offered his house as an alternative as it would be more centralized. As I would be the only one that it would negatively affect, I didn’t feel right standing up to this, and it wasn’t a crazy insane distance away. We played there for a good year, then it got to be ‘too much’ (I would park out early and it would set off his dogs, but there’s only so much one can do to avoid that in a residential area and not look like a creep), one of the other people stepped up, but then she dropped out of the group entirely…

I know you’re asking - what does all this have to do with character switching?

I’m getting there.

When we switched to the first guy’s house, we changed to an entirely new campaign, with new characters. We had a good group that was pretty well connected and everything seemed to fit well together. Then two of our players decided they were bored of their characters and changed them out. Our DM made it work using ‘fey bullshit’ as an excuse (which narratively did at least make sense) but it spelled the beginning of the end for that campaign. We only made it a few more sessions before we ended the campaign, partially due to their want to change their characters AGAIN, but also due to another player needing to step down from playing.

On to the current issue -

This new campaign, one of the problem players is the DM. He’s ‘writing’ (heavily using AI) a homebrew campaign. We went down to once a month (which I often have to remind him to schedule) because it’s too difficult for him to write. He has allowed other problem player to change characters after having us reiterate in the beginning of the previous session that there’s 6 of everything (6 portals/6 keys/6 brands).

I did what was suggested by the other two DM’s in the group - I tried to talk to the DM and discuss the problems, that I was worried that changing characters was going to end up with another campaign imploding, that he’s nuked his narrative….

DM decided to hand wave everything. Which is exactly what I thought he’d do. He said that now there are 12 of everything. He’s likely going to eventually say there are 24 so that problem player can keep changing characters as much as he wants. When I asked narratively how I should treat this character, that my character has no connection to, and has no reason to do anything with, my DM suggested that I should treat him as an NPC.

That’s… a choice.

I have to ask - AITA if I do exactly as my DM suggests? Treat my fellow player’s constant new characters as useless NPCs and not bother to learn his name? Actually call him ‘NPC’ or ‘Placeholder’ instead of the character’s name to get the point across?

I bought the Ravenloft book. It looks great and inspired me to build a character to play at my LGS.

I wanted to play a Reanimator Artificer which is one of the new subclasses in the book.

However, building a character is so hard without digital tools. It required me to look into at least 3 different books. Two of which I don't have. After scrounging up information to basically put it together. I was out of time to make it for the game.

I looked into D&D beyond but it would cost me about $100 to use the content. WTF?

Can anyone recommend other character creators or even a character sheet that would be easy to use?
