    D&D General What Bits of History Inspire Your Homebrew Setting?

    The specific video I linked is about the Bronze Age Collapse, but his Roman History and other videos on political crises and processes have been invaluable to my world building more generally.

    D&D General What Bits of History Inspire Your Homebrew Setting?

    Do you watch the Historia Civilis YouTube channel? Anyway, I have a plan to incorporate elements of that (with a sneakier build up to the mass migration/assault).

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    That is how I feel about playing D&D and these forums a lot of the time ;)

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Some people just seem like gluttons for punishment. It is not cool to victim blame, but at what point do you need to examine your patterns to see if you can break free of what makes you miserable?

    D&D General Read aloud text in modules: What are folks opinions about read aloud content?

    Well, sure. That is the specific thread of this convo I was exploring

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Unveils Dragon Delves' Eclectic Art Styles

    Yes. I prefer a bunch of different styles in a book like this. Some of this art is the most interesting I have seen in a WotC product since I returned to D&D.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    I've definitely been there.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    I am little confused by this problem. Assuming they Dash (and no difficult terrain) every round, Group A gets there in the 4th round. Group B gets there in at the end of the 4th round Group C gets there in 5 rounds. Not sure why you'd use overland movement for such a relatively short distance...

    D&D General Read aloud text in modules: What are folks opinions about read aloud content?

    I don't think you are wrong, but I also think what @Dausuul is saying makes sense as well. Yes, you want the players to pay attention to some basic details of the room (rough size, if there is a river of lava running through it) before a threat is engaged with, but upon seeing potentially...

    D&D General Read aloud text in modules: What are folks opinions about read aloud content?

    Yes, personally, I would start with the most prominent thing in the room being described, whatever it is. If that is 8 orcs with scimitars jumping up from their card game, I'd start with that (and maybe the table with the cards and coins), and only make reference to the other features of the...

    D&D General Read aloud text in modules: What are folks opinions about read aloud content?

    I was looking through some old Dungeon mags for an adventure to possibly run and thought I'd snap pix of a few examples of boxed text for us to look out (with the caveat that without the context of the adventure some of these might be better or worse than how they seem by themselves). #1 is...
