I have just uploaded Gemstone Sorter to the downloads area. My players hold on to gemstones for a long time and then when it comes time to sell them I have to look back at where they got them from to find out the values, or consult the DMG and try to match the value then the name. This excel...

I'm running my party through Princes of the Apocalypse right now, but also love adventure time. Today I was daydreaming how it would be to run the same adventure path through the Adventure Time universe. The important part is that Adventure Time has 4 elements: Fire, Ice, Candy, and Slime. The...

TL;DR: Damage rolls of 1 become a 2. I've added an NPC to one of my games that is basically the Ollivander of weapons. For a fee he spars with the PC and then can craft a weapon that "perfectly matches their fighting style". Making a different class of weapon was needed. Magic item was right...

Hey all, I've been trolling the forums and reading different design philosophies. Got me thinking about some character development ideas. One of the things I want to try is something I've been thinking of as "forced conflict". I'm planning on announcing that "we are now going to have forced...

I played a very short introductory quest with my co-workers the other day (none of whom had played before). It went very well, and I thought I'd post the experience in case anyone wanted to try something similar. I probably won't do something like this again (no real need at this point), but...

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but it was too good to keep to myself. My buddy (@Krelraz) sent me a text tonight about his 4 year old daughter, Aurian: Needless to say, this girl is probably socially doomed. ;) I thought it was epic level cute though.

My group is running Phandelver, and they have accumulated quite a bit of wealth. They want to liquidate said wealth, and I'm happy to allow them to do so. However, I'm not keen on just selling it for face value. I've got a nice little system in the works, but my fear is it involves a lot of...

Playing Lost Mines of Phandelver last night with one of my D&D groups, and they got a random encounter of stirge. After playing this encounter, they have declared that stirges must be one of the strongest creatures in the game and are more fearful of them than any other creature to date. For...

I have just uploaded 5e Encounter Calculator - XLS to the downloads area. Basics: There are a couple of these floating around, but I had already started my own so I wanted to finish it out and submit for others to use as they see fit. You set up your party (and levels), then set up the...

Forked from: Iokharic Script Font I decided it should be its own thread, because not many will look at Iokharic if they want Rellanic. If you are looking for Iokharic (Draconic), please follow the forked link at the top. This is my version 1.2 of the font files. I have added punctuation...

As I continue to write my campaign, I seem to stumble a lot of the little details, such as NPC names. So far, I've just googled things when I needed a name generated "Gnome name generator" "halfling name generator" ect, but this has been cumbersome and in most cases yielded poor results. Any...

I've been writing up a campaign for some time now, using a notebook then converting it to a word document for printing. I've been refining my technique as the campaign progresses, but I was curious if there is an actual template to use for campaign writing, or best guidelines for how it should...

Alright, so I read the manual of monster design and decided to create an autocalcing Excel sheet to do the work for me. It is completely customizable as far as formula goes, so if you'd rather change how it works just edited the correct tab (you'll need to unprotect the sheet first). This is a...

My big push this year has been to get more people interested in D&D. Mostly because it has a huge "nerd" taboo, and noone even seems to know how the game is played ("What do you mean you don't hit each other with sticks?"). As such, I'm starting a newbie freindly campaign with my good D&D...
