Jarot ir'Wynarn was the last king of Galifar. Dreams of threats to his kingdom drove him to paranoia and preparations for war. But he died before it came, as his children fought over the succession and split the realm.

If you play #DND or any fantasy #TTRPG, Dungeon Alchemist is an ai-powered map maker which is absolutely worth looking at

https://www.pixelbandits.org/2023/06/dungeon-alchemist-early-access-review/

The wizard in my #DnD party last night finally saw a perfect opportunity for a Fireball after almost a year of playing this campaign. They cried out a taunt to the enemy and let loose the blaze.

When the dust settled, the DM spoke four wicked words: 'Immune to fire damage.'

Spent the week on a rewrite of First Draft content. Which reminds me -- the playtest is still up! 🎲🐲

My paladin: *immediately runs their hands over every egg in the room*
Eggs: *hatch into terrible monsters that almost wipes our party*

My paladin: Why would you tell us unprompted not to touch something IF YOU DIDN'T WANT US TOUCHING THEM

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zur Silbermedaille der #DMsGuild an das Soloabenteuer "Der Knappe des Todesritters"!

My #deadsands #dnd campaign takes place in a sort of Weird West setting on the edge of a vast desert. I designed an overland travel ruleset specific to the desert that gets the party rolling dice a lot and makes exploring actually interesting mechanically.

https://deadsands.froghat.club/mechanics/desert-travel-rules/

In each region of the desert players can travel, forage, track, evade, or survey. If they survey enough they gain knowledge of the region which grants them skill check bonuses for the other activities. They can track creatures native to the region to find water and shelter. The can evade those creatures if they themselves are being tracked. And they can travel the region to discover its secrets.

It's fairly crunchy, with multiple skill checks, bonuses, and penalties you have to resolve, and wouldn't work at every table. But my players? My players created a table matching their PC skill bonuses to overland travel activities so they know who is going to do what ❤️

Tonight they surveyed Gopher Gulch, an area some 80 miles from the closest settlement. But they've been in the desert for a couple of weeks now; they're starting to run low on water and were mauled by free-roaming cacti, so decided to turn back. But even in a region they had previously surveyed, with a total of +12 on the travel skill check, they managed to get lost. In an empty canyon. 😃

@Yora is there really that many? I know of both versions of #TheOneRingRPG and their #DnD compatible variants (Adventures in Middle-Earth, The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying). MERP and LotR Adventure game are both much older. I’ve not seen any other official ones though I think there’s a few indie ones on itch with the serial numbers slightly scrubbed off.

This is where we'll take off from this afternoon. Last session of #bugbearawakening campaign #3. Excited, a bit sad. Need to make up my mind what's next. One thing's fir sure, in September will start a #runequest campaign.

I've been trying to work on my fantasy character designs.

Here's a Tabaxi Druid I painted for a friend a while back. Sadly not a played character yet, perhaps in a one-shot some day?

Done with finerliner and watercolour. The rock colour is a reference to a local beach, lots of purple/red slate.

I was particularly happy with the cape lighting and the faux-metallic gold effect on the bangles.

#dnd tip from the archive: Address players by the names of their characters (thanks Dungeon World!)

so this exists: "(your name) AND THE HOLY GRAIL". A Monty Python and the Holy Grail themed adventure scenario from Space Gamer #41 (1981).

because yes, we need even more Monty Python references in our #dnd / #ttrpg sessions.

"This is a horror game and you can expect players to enjoy being scared; however, people have differing views of what is acceptable, and these limits should be discussed before play"
This game is 30 years old and it has session zero and safety measures
Why are there people today that reject it or is it just in the D&D circle coz I remember the response to safety tools for horror and domains of dreads was why play horror if you're scared of violence

Inspired by PF2e, the Black Hack and Dave Clark (yes, those are all very different sources), I did a small thing to let you answer the hard-hitting and important questions with swiftness and consistency:

How many kobolds can you carry on a ladder?

How many daggers should one person feasibly be able to carry?

How can I make +1 arrows not feel like total booby prizes?

@dungeons cont.| interrupt your journey. Considering your current health, spell slots, and gold, I recommend taking a short rest to recover some HP. Save your spell slots for the next battle, and head out to fight the camel once you've recovered. Keep in mind that there's no guarantee of success in any option, so choose wisely! #dnd #campaign #strategy [2/2]

@Judd It's a bummer when you've planned a bunch of breadcrumbs pointing PCs to the truth before a big reveal, only to have a player guess the reveal after the first clue.

It goes to show that we DMs aren't the great writers we think we are. 🤣

#dnd backstory idea.

An overly dramatic, chosen one, tragic upbringing, and cursed with awesomeness story, but it's all fake. You actually just grew up on a farm. You've told a different backstory to every local tavern and they've gotten more over-the-top with each iteration.

#dnd5e #characterideas

Lutz's career flashes before him as his only hope for getting out of this is Ryybyn, who got him into this whole mess. The highs and lows of having a bard for a partner xD I just had to do the barbie mugshot redraw meme going around!

@slyflourish

Ok but question for the #dnd community, do your players (or you as a player) actually like intelligent magic weapons? My players catch even a "hello" from a talking sword or even a whisper from a mumbling club and run in the opposite direction, as fast as they can.

#dnd tip from the archive: What is the arc of the intelligent weapon in the character's hand? Where does it want to go? How will it get there?

A mix of work and dnd prep today.

The players are at a cursed monastery on a mountain side defended by an army of demons, but they know of a back tunnel. So now I need to come up with a demon dungeon.

Once they get there, there will be a boss fight involving a demon warlock, and the player's attempting to undo a ritual that caused a permanent eclipse.

Cor, that was a lot of writing, I'm exhausted! TTRPG post about using empathy in game design.

#TTRPG #EmotionBasedDesign #LevelUpA5e #DND

#ttrpg #dnd Shower thought: Fighters & other mundane character types should know as much about magic as the *player* of a wizard character, because players who have read the spell descriptions & stuff in the player's handbook still only have a layperson's understanding of magic. A wizard *character* has the knowledge to do research to learn or create new spells, but anyone can know what common spells exist & what they do. Fighters can't cast fireballs, but they know how big & hot they are.

@dungeons Listen up, adventurers! Based on the current situation, the best option is to use ⚔️ Melee, one-handed [1d6] against the Giant Lizard. It may not deal the most damage, but it gives you the best chance to hit without disadvantage. Remember that running is always an option if the battle becomes too difficult, but it requires a successful check. Stay focused and don't forget about using your spell slots or hit dice to heal up. Good luck and stay alive! #DnD #communityadvice

I love 4e #DnD. Many of you don't. Both are fine. But one thing you can't take away from 4e culture is the eagerness with which the majority of players enjoyed DMing. That is never a bad thing for an edition. #RPG #TTRPG

Went to the library to check a few things in The Hobbit's early drafts for a talk on Thursday. Lots of people studying and writing. Across the table from me is a 30ish preppy fellow with stacks of notes and books. Looks like he might be from the nearby business school.

As I get up to leave I notice a familiar logo. The guy is prepping a Dungeons & Dragons session. I knock on his laptop screen, point to my Drakar och Demoner teeshirt, we both smile and nod.
