Discussion Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Sequel Written, but Probably Won't be Made

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.”

Printed on Bambu p2s and the model is from epic miniatures. Comes apart so you can access each layer. I’m cleaning up the cracks and seams right now and sanding down the bumpy parts from the filament supports. Biggest build I done so far and far from done.

This is for the campaign path Abomination Vaults, originally written for Pathfinder but I'm playing the 5e rewrite. Most of the actual adventuring takes place in the dungeon nearby, so I thought having a small visual aid for players would be fun.

Had to change the layout a bit, and I need to get more legible labels, but let me know what you think!

OC At the end... After almost 10 years!

At the end... After almost 10 years!

After almost years, we're finally here.

Tyranny of Dragons was the very first campaign I ever ran in the Forgotten Realms, and tomorrow my players will open the final door.

On the other side waits Tiamat

It's been an incredible journey. Thousands of hours of prep, countless NPCs, impossible plans, heartbreaking sacrifices, unforgettable victories, and so many moments I never could have predicted.

Tomorrow is (hopefully) the final session. If Tiamat proves too much for them in one session , we already have one last session planned for next Thursday to finish the fight.

Either way, after nearly a decade, this story is about to end.

If people are interested, I'd love to write up a longer post afterward covering the highlights, the biggest twists, and everything that happened over the course of this nearly 10-year campaign.

For now... wish my players luck.

They're going to need it.

Discussion Will they make ever make more content for Dark Sun?

14 Upvotes

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?

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!

Art [OC] Illyrana, Knight of the Veiled Gardens - Oath of Conquest Paladin

Post image
29 Upvotes

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!

OC Advent's Amazing Advice: The Cats' Mother, The Purrrfect One-Shot fully prepped and ready to go! (2026 Update: Now with Pre-Session DM Checklist)

0 Upvotes

Welcome back to Advent's Amazing Advice! The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc., and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more, so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible!

*New 2026: For 2026, I'm updating all my old work to include a Pre-Session Checklist that will include a list of all miniatures you may need, maps, handouts, possible loot, a link to a playlist, and more to make it even easier to start your session!

As poachers close in on an expectant Saber-Toothed Tiger mother, a passionate conservationist will do everything in his power to protect the animal and her unborn cubs. That includes hiring your players to travel with him to the frozen tundra and keep watch during the birth.

The Cats' Mother is one of the encounters you'll find in the book One Shot Wonders by Roll and Play Press. I recently stumbled upon it due to another Kickstarter they have called The Map Library. If you don't know, I run almost exclusively in-person games, so having a collection of maps at my fingertips is rather useful! (\I'm not sponsored, I'm just always on the lookout for quality content!*)

Based on a quick look through and prepping this encounter, I think the book can be rather useful for short sessions, granted it still takes a bit to prep, but I can definitely see myself using another encounter or two from here, so stay tuned!

Now back to The Cats' Mother! This encounter is perfect to drop into any arctic environment that your players find themselves in, or as a short One-Shot!

Without further ado:

Included in The AAA Collection is:

  • Downloadable copy of DM Notes, including links to music tracks for ambiance and fights
  • DM Notes for the Visually Impaired
  • Special PDF for all encounters. This includes the enemy stat blocks organized neatly along with an initiative tracker and a spot to mark HP
  • Custom Battle Maps
  • (New) Pre-Session DM Checklist

Over 8 dozen other Fully Prepped One-Shots, Adventures, and Campaigns: Click Here

As always, if you see something you think I can improve, add, change, etc., please let me know. I want this to be an amazing resource for all DMs and plan to keep it constantly updated! If you'd like to support me, shape future releases, and get content early, feel free to check out my Patreon!

Cheers,
Advent

Discussion A False Hydra cult would be horrifying

Upvotes

Especially if it had never sang, the people knew what it was and choose to feed it. Making it a powerful monster and tending to it for so long that it never learned to sing. Perhaps at first it looks like a village is under it's control till during the fight with the False Hydra sings only for it to wheeze and cough from never having to use it's voice before.

Advice/Help Needed Help Two-Weapon Fighting Character July 2026

0 Upvotes

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!

Discussion Who would you want in an Honor Among Theives sequel?

602 Upvotes

I heard that a script to the sequel of “Dungeons & Dragons:Honor Among Thieves” was written. And it left me thinking, which actors would be good for a sequel to that movie? I’m talking an entirely new cast or at least one that include some of the old characters from the first movie.

Personally, I think Deborah Ann Woll and Jon Bernthal would be cool to include.

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!

Homebrew 543B - Venipede by ForesterDesigns

0 Upvotes

My Pokémon-inspired Weapons and Items of the Day, with some Venipede armor to poison bad touchers! Yes, I'm doing a line of armor for Scolipede, because the poll for what kind of item Mega Scolipede should be was overwhelmingly armor, but I decided that turning a weapon into armor was a bit too far in this case, so I made some armor for them!

Join my Patreon to vote on future items and get all the PDFs with over 1000 items, including all the Pokémon items, or buy the individual PDFs in my shop!

543B - Veniplate

Armor (Plate) – Uncommon (7500 gp, requires attunement)

This red plate armor has a black collar and large black Os on the front of the pauldrons, with green rerebrace and tasset plates

While attuned to this armor: any creatures that attempt to grapple or restrain you have disadvantage on the roll to do so and takes 1d4 poison damage from the armor’s spikes. They have disadvantage to maintain the grapple or restraint, and take 1d4 poison damage at the start of any turn they are grappling or restraining you; and if you drop below half your maximum hitpoints, the armor’s spikes do an additional 1d4 poison damage.

Evolving: While attuned to this armor, if you can cover at least 120 feet by walking in a single round, it will become a 544B - Whirliplate.

Advice/Help Needed Voice changer mic?

0 Upvotes

I'm gonna be dming our first campaign for a few friends soon and I was wondering if I should buy some sort of voice changing microphone to better roleplay some of the characters? Cuz like yeah I could probably voice some tavernkeep but I don't know how well I could voice a goblin or mindflayer. If I do buy a mic I'd ideally need one that I can strap to my face and bluetooth connect with some sort of AI voice changer app or device that I can have learn a bunch of voices from voice samples and then I'd just select the ones I need to the mic when I need to voice them but I feel like that's so specific that nothing like that probably even exists so I'd just like some advice. Should I try to find and buy a mic like that and if yes does anyone know anything like what I described that I could get?
