Hello! Every world has some kind of symbol of an adventuring life, ships, backpacks, or even a towel for the hitchhikers out there. In my world the adventuring life is represented with a simple sword, like many others I assume. My questions: What is the symbol of the adventurer's lifestyle in...

Hello! Hope everyone had a great holiday. So like many I treated my self recently and bought Xanathar's Guide, but I have to say I was some what disappointed. To go into more detail, I just felt like they handed us a bunch of UA material and a couple of other small interesting things and sold...

Hello! Background: I have been having longtime issues with Passive Perception in current D&D, I did not want to have to much control over traps and such and I did not want my players rolling perception every time they enter a room; for awhile I thought that there was no solution to this...

Hi, what tools or resources do you use when you are designing an adventure or dungeon? Anything applies from websites to the source books. ps: I am thinking of doing a poll later on the most common choices so choose carefully.

Hi! So my players and I had a game last night and as the title says there was a TPK. This happened because the players went into a major battle with a flawed strategy that was not going to (and did not) work and they left major sections of the dungeon filled with enemies. So here is the story...

Hey, -Short Version- I am working to construct a dungeon filled with Kobolds for future use and I am having trouble with how many traps I should use. So how many traps should I use in this 16 room dungeon? -Long Version- Alright so I am running a group online and we just had our first game in...

I want to know your favorite classes, or what you think is the best class and why. It can be for mechanical, roleplay, or for nostalgia purposes. Just make sure to leave them below! My favorite class is definatly the Warlock, as I believe that it brings the most roleplay opportunities to the...

So I should probably start off by saying that I HATE Passive Perception, I think that it does not add anything to the game and is overall just very lame. However I also hate it when players just do a perception check in every single room they enter... So I came up with a solution which is...

Hi, So I am running Curse of Strahd and I was thinking that I could change the encounter at the Heart of Sorrow, which is 10 flying halberds and 4 vampire spawn, to something a little more epic... Such as a flying servant of Strahd! But, I am having trouble deciding between a Giant Bat (With...

Hi, Now I realize that the players did this on purpose to give them an clear advantage during exploration, but none the less it still bothers me some what. I feel as if it gets rid of an added problem in combat that they dont have to worry about anymore, and I dont want to just through magic...

Alright so I want to find some movies or shows that get people in the mood to roleplay. Weather they be fantasy or Sifi... I don't care just anything that gets you in the mood to play D&D. I would prefer if you posted them in a list but you can do it however you'd like. 1. D&D cartoon: This...

Hi, So I am setting up a group for Curse of Strahd and while asking my players who they would like their characters to be, one of them answeared... "I want to be a Lizardfolk Barbarian" which is not bad at all, but... It doesn't really fit in a semmingly gritty gothic fantasy adventure like...

Hi, So Im running Curse of Strahd for a group of 5 players and I think I've got everything pretty much prepaired, but I am unsure how to roleplay Strahd. I can easily treat him like any other NPC but that is kind of lame, I want him to be special and some what terrifying, and this is where I am...

Hey, Im having trouble with something I know a lot of people have trouble with when roleplaying which is as Im sure you can guess... Roleplaying the opposite gender (which in this case would be females). So I was wondering if anybody had any tips or tricks, oh and I should mention that I am a...

Hi, so my group is doing a campaign in which they worship Selune (the God of the moon) and I want to give them specific bonuses for traveling at night. Please leave your suggestions. Don't make it to overpowered, just something simple that will encourage them to travel at night. Thanks in advance!

So I guess it's implied from the title what my reason for posting this is. So..... How do you use books in your games and I'm not talking about spell books or any special books out of the DM guide, but just plain books (like a book explaining how a town was formed). Leave your thoughts! Thanks...

Hey so I am designing a custom blade for my D&D game, and I am having trouble classifying it by rarity. Here are the stats: Longsword 1d8 (1 hand) 1d10 (2 hand) Special features: Night Strength: +2 to attack and Damage rolls made with this weapon, strictly at night. Moon Light: The sword...
