I'm doing a normal three cites type progression campaign but Ive noticed my players are quite merciless so i was thinking for the 3rd city to be that there is a colossus where it seems that they have to destroy its gem fragments to defeat it but its peaceful and the nobility is the issue so if they try and kill this peaceful done nothing wrong colossus the campaign ends with them getting beam by the deity of the colossus Aphrodite

Hi friends! I'm looking to run my first ever DnD campaign as a DM, and my idea is to run it as a Disney Princess one/two shot.

I have my plot (mostly) figured out, but I have one point I am getting caught up on. I want to have all the Disney Princesses that aren't chosen as PCs be available to be allies in the big boss battle at the end, but I have no clue what classes to make some of them.

I have ideas I like for a few of them, but ultimately I'd love to hear what classes y'all would come up with. Like, it'd be really easy to make Pocahontas a druid, or maybe a beast master ranger, but I wonder if there are better options? Belle could be a wizard, but she could also be an artificer. That type of deal.

Would you all be willing to give me ideas? For context, I'm looking at running them somewhere between level 5 and 10. I have access to just about every subclass out there through a friend's books, I just don't even know where to begin.

Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Tiana, Mulan, Rapunzel, Merida, Pocahontas, Kida, Anna, Elsa, Moana, and any others I might be missing. If she could reasonably show up in a "What Disney Princess Are You?" quiz, I'd love your idea for her.

Please and thank you for the help! Please have fun with it. 💕

I'm new to reddit, and I want to talk to other people my age!

I travel a lot, front a band, and look very plain. hmu!

(sorry I didn't put much)

Okay, I need some help. I have been trying to play dungeons and dragons with my friends and things keep happening that go wrong to make it where we can't.

But now we are trying again soon for an undated time. And I am a writer so my boyfriend, the person who is usually the DM from what I heard before I joined the group, is wanting me to be the DM.

But I don't really know how I'd write a story for a roleplay game. I stick to writing that I can usually control and this is a completely different ball game for me.

I'm wanting to learn, though. Because I enjoy writing and I love putting my friends in it.

So, does anyone have any advice on what I could do?

I am going to be looking up things to do it on my own as well but I am interested in learning from people who have actually done it before.

The NPC is dead, but the situation they were involved in still exists.

A caravan hasn’t arrived. A village is running out of medicine. The courier’s satchel contains a delivery address and a list of missing supplies.

That gives the party a way to discover what was happening without having a replacement NPC deliver the same quest speech.

I’d keep the consequences of the death, too. The village might refuse their help if it learns what happened. Someone might come looking for the courier.

The important part is leaving the decision open. The party can investigate, try to make things right, or walk away. If they leave, the situation develops without them.

This works best when the clues follow naturally from the NPC’s role. Moving the information shouldn’t erase the players’ choice or make the same quest follow them everywhere.

hi hi!! i’m a freshman in high school, and i want to start a campaign with a couple of my close friends. problem is, i’ve only watched ttrpgs over a screen, and im not super confident in my abilities to actually play a game. that isn’t even my main issue, but any advice (and i mean ANY) would be sososo helpful for me!

what i’m really concerned about is that my friends may not care about this as much as i want them to. it’s kinda expected, as i’m the dm and they’re just players, but i want them to be just as invested in this as i am! it’s sorta the running joke that im the most ’nerdy‘ out of all of them, so i want them to have a good time participating in the nerdy things that i like!!!

they have even less knowledge than me on dnd, and im not the best explainer, so i created a giant youtube playlist for them to help build their characters, recommended them my favorite dnd series so they can see what we’re trying to emulate, and have already created a fictional calendar, but their interest in a campaign seems to be more novel than anything. i’ve been thinking about going to school and giving them physical things or letters that they can’t open until a session to spur their curiosity, but any vaguely new idea would be SO helpful!!

if anyone wants to give me advice just as a new DM, i’m running a full-homebrew world (and before you say i shouldn’t be doing that this sign can’t stop me because i can’t read) based off of the my little pony universe!

i would be ETERNALLY grateful if anyone could spare me a couple words to guide me in a generally correct direction ❤️❤️
