My pvp arena is in a few hours, all of my characters have quite high AC, 17-20, this is because I gave them enchanted custom dragon armour, it's fine against NPCs because they roll 20+ attack rolls, but against each other, I don't think anyone is going to ever hit. I'm going to take away any...

So I'm creating an arena of sorts for my party of 6 to battle it out. I've got a list of things I want to include (terrains, traps, cover etc.) But my concern is the size. I'm making an actual model to use in the session, but I'm not sure whether to do 16"x22" or 22"x32". When I draw out the...

I'm writing my first homebrew that I want to take part in Faerun whereby the party are welcomed by the dragonborn tribe royalty as it were, and given missions to assist in the defeat of an enemy who is trying to usurp the throne. I'm looking for suggestions of a similar campaign that I can read...

So I mentioned my idea for a PvP arena in a previous post about my homebrew but it was shot down for fair reason. So now I need to come up with another reason for PvP because my players want to do one. I've got some good ideas on layout but more is always better. My main concern is how to...

My rogue wants to craft poison, he found out that nearby is a wyvern that he wants too harvest for venom, which will require a nature check to extract it safely, also he'll need to kill it carefully, not burning/exploding etc that may damage the venom. Aside from the venom, what other...

New to d&d, new to DMing. All our encounters are the same and very boring. "X amount of enemy appears, roll initiative" Player - I walk up to this one and attack with my axe then walk back. Player - I walk to this one and attack with my rapier then walk back. This fashion for whole fight...

Rookie roleplayer, rookie DM, been playing about a year, been DMing about six months, coming up to the end of LMoP and have started planning my first homebrew to kick off straight from the end of LMoP. I'm just after some ideas, suggestions etc. as it's my first time. Feel free to start...

I've posted about my OP rogue before and I've been trying different ways of combating it for a few sessions now. It's fair play that he's OP, he spent a lot of time making his character and optimised it perfectly whereas the other players didn't. The problem is two fold: 1) He has a high...

I just read another thread regarding the unentertaining side quests in LMoP and thought I'd share the improvisations I did, mainly because I really want to share them but obviously can't talk to my players about it. So they cleared the redbrand ruffian Hideout but Glasstaff escaped before they...

sorry for the caps but I have a session in 3hours and one player has just pulled out so I need quick advice. - Should I rp her character - Or let someone else - Or make up a reason why she's missing - Or don't mention it and just leave her out Problem with other people rp-ing her is the strain...

First off: sorry to start a new thread because I know for a fact this has been covered on here but searching on the app doesn't work and opening the thread via the internet takes me to the homepage. I know there is no rules on resting in armour which is strange considering the amount of detail...

My DM game was somewhat lacking in last night's session. I always get excellent advice that I never would've thought of on here so that's what I'm fishing for again. Background is as follows, but feel free to skip to the last paragraph. Tips on improv. I know I focus too much on the campaign...

Anyone ever used the deck of many things? What level was your party? What happened? Would you recommend it? Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

Quick question. Area 2 in Wave Echo Cave. It's a maze. How should I reveal this part of the map to my players? I usually just uncover the whole area/room, but it's a bit of a waste of a good maze in this instance. So I was thinking of drawing it out and revealing small segments as they...

So I've got the premise for my campaign but I just need some ideas or tips for actually writing it and structuring it. when I became DM, I had my character teleported to another land in a magical portal, now my players are going to Albeir-Tori, where they will bump into my old character who is...

My rogue wants to start crafting poisons to apply to his daggers. I read the info in the dmg, it says poisons aren't the kind of thing that can be easily purchased for obvious reasons, but it did say they can be crafted if the right ingredients are found. However, I couldn't find any list of...

In our last session, I got quite annoyed, because all of my players were on their phones during combat, ignoring what was happening, who was attacking whom, and more importantly; not planning their next move, and every time play passed to the next person, they spent 5 minutes going through the...

I'm looking to start writing my first homebrew campaign and was just wondering if anyone had any memorable themes/plots or maybe just some cool encounters/puzzles you've experienced. Initially I was going to choose one of my player's back stories to persue, but only one of my players actually...

Greetings fellow role players. I've got a game in about four hours and am just going over my notes and realised I've missed something out. There's a small statuette that the characters are going to find and I want it to communicate telepathically to the person holding it. Much like the skull...
