    D&D General Ideas for a planar campaign

    I've started planning out a planar campaign that has the players start out in different settings. Basically, I had the idea of starting with two 2-3 player groups, running 1-2 seperate sessions for each, with each group ending up on Sigil by accident, and have the campaign go on from there (I...

    D&D General Cyre 1313 Ideas

    I'm planning for a Planescape campaign, with the party originating in two smaller groups from different Prime Material Plane worlds, each being thrown into Sigil by some kind of a freak planar incident.

    D&D 5E Getting back to DMing after a break

    I've been running a 5e campaign for a while now (technically two years) that we play in person, and both my players and I enjoy it a lot. COVID is not much of a thing anymore where I live, but when it was, I we had to take breaks from running the game when the lockdowns were in order (we tried...

    D&D 5E Starting the campaign with the group split to two

    I've been thinking of starting a new campaign for a while now. I've always wanted to run a campaign that is centered in Sigil (Planescape's City of Doors), and I've decided to maybe have two groups getting there from two different Material Plane worlds. I think one group will be a bunch of...

    Help with atmospheric lighting

    I'm getting a a screen in a wooden case for my table, and I'd decided to maybe throw in some controllable atmospheric lights to boost up the vibes. Trouble is I know nothing about those, so I'd be happy to hear about any advice you can offer. I'm leaning more towards a LED strip that I can put...

    D&D General Software for a TV table battle map (and more uses)

    I've just recieved a spare TV from a friend leaving the country, and I've decided to use it as digital battle map for my face to face 5e campaign. I'm looking for a software that can run battle maps and offer some nice features (mostly distance, AoE, auras and possibly tokens with status effects...

    D&D General Fleshing out my Feywild sea hag villain

    After running ToA for a while, I've decided to take short break from zombies and jungles, and threw my party into the Feywild for a nice side adventure.

    D&D 5E Choosing a 3rd party monster book

    I'm looking to get a new 5e bestiary book. Since I've already gotten the Monster Manual, VGtM and MToF, I'm thinking of getting a 3rd party book. I'm leaning towards a book that's mostly focused on planar creatures and fey (although a few extra dragons and aberrations can be a big bonus) that...

    D&D 5E Coming up with ideas for a Feywild adventure

    I've been running a campagin in the jungles of Chult (Tomb of Annihilation) for a year and something, and I feel like it's time to shake things up a bit, so I've decided to throw my players to the Feywild in the next session, for a arc lasting 2-4 sessions. Now, I have a rough idea that I want...

    D&D General Extra DM equipment & tools

    For the DMs among us, other than the obvious stuff (books, notebooks, battle mats/maps, screen, a laptop...), what kind of extra equipment and accessories do you use use to help you run the game? Anything that helps you concentrate better, be more precise and clear to your players, act faster...

    D&D 5E Looking for feedback on my cooking homebrew system

    I've came up with homebrew cooking system intended for my group's barbarian, a chef from another dimension, mostly taking on inspiration half-cover.com's gourmand feat. Might be worth mentioning that we're playing Tomb of Annihilation, and that it takes place mostly in the jungles of Chult...

    D&D 5E Ideas for a magical whip used as part of a duel-wielding combo

    In my current campaign, the Two-Weapon Fighting Style gives you the option of using the second weapon attack as part of your Attack Action (think of it as another Extra Attack), instead of using your Bonus Action. One of my players plays an Aarakocra Ranger, and I know that the guy is kind of...

    D&D 5E Running a randomly-generated dungeon one-shot

    I've decided to run a one-shot for the group I play in. The only DMing experience I've had so far was running a one-shot dungeon crawler that I designed myself, which went pretty awesome... But with one adventure under my belt, I can't really call myself experienced. Anyway, after letting ideas...

    Making a custom play mat

    After using a laminated black and white A3 grid paper as a map/game mat for a few months now, I've decided it's time to upgrade to mats with backgrounds for each area... Grassland, dungeonfloor, mountains, city... You get the vibe. Does anyone here has some good backgrounds (preferably gridded...

    D&D 5E Aasimar & Tiefling offspring

    I'm pretty sure there's no official answer to this (do correct me if I'm wrong), but what's the result of a tiefling and an aasimar, uh... Commencing in a, uh... A vertical grappling contest? Is the result either a tiefling or an aasimar? Maybe a pure human (both cancel each other out)? Maybe...

    D&D 5E Critique my first one-shot adventure

    So, I'm a player in a group of friends playing D&D 5e (in real life) once a week, and I've decided to run a one-shot adventure for my friends, as a DM. While our DM is a good friend of mine and offered to help as much as possible, I don't want to spoil the adventure for him. Anyway, I have a...

    Video Game Influences

    I'll admit that what got me into RPGs in the first place was the Baldur's Gate series. When I first played it (2002 or 2003) I was 10 years old (and English is not my first language), so I didn't get very far, but I was so enchanted with that world, that it just drew me into this D&D thingy, and...
