    D&D 5E First time playing D&D and I'm the DM. Anyone feeling helpful?

    Matt Mercer is an amazing DM, and there are many great games you can watch online. However, I think there's a very big difference between watching a game played by other people, and being an actual player in the game. The experience is just not the same. Denalz - since there are no games in...

    D&D 5E First time playing D&D and I'm the DM. Anyone feeling helpful?

    D&D 5E The Clean Sheet

    Great character sheet! I've been using it for more than a year and as a DM I advise my players to use it as well. Thank you for your hard work. Here is a small list of bugs I've encountered in v2.38. Me and my players would appreciate it very much if these bugs were fixed! For elves, the "Add...
