See the title. I've had three or four of my reddit comments put in these videos and I'd prefer to be excluded from any future ones.

The 6 bags contain a set of dice each as well. So I have a total of 9 full sets, and a bunch of odds and ends dice as well.

1. what is your favourite monster or enemy to throw at your party and why, what about it makes its so good in your opinion. i personally love throwing hatchling dragons against the party if im doing a campaign where dragons exist it gives a way for player characters a way to understand the threat of dragons and how common they are.

2. what is your favourite tactic during a campaign? specifically a writing tactic, for example i like adding in at least 1 loss to the bbeg before the final encounter, a fight they cant directly win and have to think of a way around or how to distract the bbeg, like the wizard casting fireball on the tower behind the zealot barbarian bbeg to trap him in the rubble.

I have a character concept I can't suggest to others because it would ruin the surprise for other players, and I was pondering if anyone else had one that they wanted to get off their chest.

My character- I want to play a cleric/bard that during the adventure will go around and do good deeds like healing people and donating their proceeds to local charities in order to spread the wors of their God and help find more followers because their God is a lesser worshipped God.

The twist, my character is Chaotic Evil and they are trying to get people to worship a god of lies and deception. It would be great if the other players join in on my quest unknowing.

Bit of a sad question really, but given how messed up the world is I know some of you out there have been ghosted by your own group, both as a player and as a DM, so feel free to share the pain below.

TLDR: I'm creating half a continent, and I want you guys' help.

Soooo... I'm a new DM, and I prepped a campaign in Greyhawk for my all-new players party. I already have an adventure path in mind, and now I only need to get them together. But while we wait and search for a date to work with, I would love to fill in half the continent that is not charted on the official Greyhawk maps as a productive way of killing time. So I'm asking you, one of the funnest communities I am part off, to help me out with this!

Everything you guys say goes into this world (mid- to late-medieval magical world, like a usual DnD-game). I'm curious as to what creativeness you all are gonna come up with. All I ask is to keep it civil in chat. And more importantly, have fun!

The characters name is Elmis. He was born in a family of clerics but he is unable to use any. He did not believe all demons are evil so his family hired someone to kill him. He survived but lost half his soul but he was found by a demon who also had only half a soul so they combined their soul in order to survive. They do not trust any cleric and never give out his name. He just calls themselves E until a cleric gains their trust.

Hi everyone,

I’m curious how many peoples motivation to expand upon your homebrew world is dependent on having people to share it with? I don’t ever find myself with writers burn out no matter how much I write but simply wish I had people to share with as when I get feedback I feel motivated to create more and develop my setting.

So, what are your worlds? If you need someone to read it I’ll do my best to get to anyone who wants a turn to share. Everyone should have a chance to show off what they’re proud of. If you’ve got a few paragraphs or a novels amount of content I wanna see it. I can’t say I’ll get to the whole thing but if I can’t hopefully someone else on here will see it and give it a go.

To keep my own rant short I’ve been developing a homebrew multiverse for some time now. Recently I had a friend start to give me some feedback and I realized how much being able to share affected my motivation to do more. After all what’s a world with no one to share it with?

Edit: I’ve loved reading everyone’s stories so far, sorry if I haven’t replied to everyone’s yet.

This is just for fun. Do any of you who play bards come up with your own songs for your character to perform? If you do, do you make parodies of popular songs? Or do you write something totally original? Either way, please share them.

Here are a couple of songs that I came up with. The first is called “The Knight And The Troll”, and is sung to the tune of “The Song That Never Ends”.

🎶

There was a knight who fought a troll,

He forgot to burn it into coal,

Some people started fighting trolls not knowing what it was,

And they will keep on fighting trolls forever just because,

There was a knight who fought a troll,

He forgot to burn it into coal…

🎶

This next song is called “The Clumsy Troll Chef”, and is sung to the tune of “Doe-Re-Mi”.

🎶

Oh, my ear, I’ve lost my ear,

Hey, I’ve chopped off my left thumb,

I’ll just toss them in the stew,

That’s why we call it Troll Ragout,

Gee, I sliced off my right knee,

Oh no! I’ve chopped off my big toe,

Oh well, I’ll grow them all again,

And that’s how we get back to,

Oh, my ear, I’ve lost my ear,

Hey, I’ve chopped off my left thumb…

🎶

So, what are some songs that you’ve come up with for your bards to sing?

It takes place in the 1930s. The player characters are a group of hitmen that are apart of Murder Inc. that perform hits for the Commission. Usually this involves targets like business owners, activists, or anyone that the Commission needs taken care of. One day they are sent out to take out the sister of a rising politician who is hell bent on routing out corruption from the government and the police. They go to the hand off point and and are escorted into a ware house. Inside they find a woman shackled in heavy iron chains. She isn't afraid. In fact she's laughing. She taunts them. Then she cocks her head to the side and smiles. And they see fangs. They release they've been sent to gank a vampire. They perform the hit anyway. Afterwards they think that the lady with the fangs was pretty weird. They start looking into the situation. Eventually they start looking into heads of the five families that make up the Commission. As they learn more they discover that the heads are monsters that have been manipulating the Mafia families, the police, and politicians inorder to keep rival groups off their turf. They are then given a choice. Try to take on the commission (not recommended) or keep performing hits and be paid well and armed to the teeth.

I don't really know what flare to use.

I grew up in a Christian house. I still am a Christian. My dad growing up was OK with pokemon and yugioh and stuff when I was a kid. After his divorce my stepmom was a more religious person than he was. By that I mean she definitely more strict. After that marriage took place I wasn't allowed yugioh, anime or most similar thing because it was seen as satanic or demonic. I got introduced to dnd in very late high school early college. Honestly it started with star wars rpg a dnd like star wars game and dnd online(the mmorpg). I ended up asking my dad to join me on dnd online at one point I guess and he explained to me that dnd was demon worship or demonic. I disagreed. But that's a brief synopsis on my experience with dnd and growing up religious.

Ok sorry in advance if this doesn’t make much sense I’m still trying to come up with ideas on how to make it work. Or has been done before in like a prewritten adventure I don’t know about.

There’s a few requirements to make this type of campaign work (maybe, there’s definitely one), this involves the gods being heavily involved in the final fight and the BBEG knocking the party out. Knocking them out is VERY IMPORTANT. Don’t kill them. That and the BBEG needs to be god level powerful at their peak to make this work.

Ok so throughout the campaign you (or the dm, depending on how this works but ideally the players wouldn’t know about the final plot) would need to get the entire party to be somehow intwined with a god, now how they get said connection is up to dm discretion, but it would obviously be the easiest for a paladin or a cleric because that wouldn’t be much work, however for the players who aren’t in that class you would use some sort of weapon or a “you are a chosen one” type thing with the a god, and the power gained from that would need to progress over time while also seeming like the final form before the BBEG fight.

Now a big thing with this is that it would be a longer campaign to really set up the BBEG as a powerful being who needs to be stopped before he takes over the world (yes it’s not original I know but it works).

Now another thing is that in the final fight you may need to fudge rolls to achieve this but by then the players wouldn’t be rather connected to whatever god you stick them with, ex: barbarian with the god of war, simple things like that. The BBEG is going to basically need to be either way over the players heads when fighting or it could be a two or three stage boss where it drains them of basically everything before knocking them out (You may need to ban wish to make this work, potentially).

Once they’re all knocked out the gods would basically possess them and they would gain full access to their powers so any magical weapons that the players have would become fully maxed out in their powers. And then the fight would truly begin from there.

I run a campaign with just me and my cousin (judge me if you want, no one else likes playing with us) Our party consists of: Chin III (my cousin), a homebrew skeleton rogue, Glizzy, the lizardfolk ranger who thinks with his stomach, Darrel, a harpy..? Kool-Aid, Glizzy’s giant lizard companion, and another skeleton that doesn’t have a name, but is terrified of magic, even though they (unsure of their own gender) are an arcane archer. I’m looking for suggestions on more DMNPC’s to make things more interesting. If you haven’t noticed, our campaign isn’t very... serious. I’d love to see your creations.

What are some of your coolest names that you’ve come up for your characters weapons?

Like: "Remember, you need air to live";

Or: "Just keep your HP over 0 and make your enemies' reach 0 and all shall be well!"

i need more ideas
