Want to find some people to play dnd with but also don't want to be DM because I wanna play but asking about that feels like inviting yourself over to someone's house which makes me feel anxious and wrong

But like if someone DID have a dnd 5e campaign idea they needed players for my dms are open 👀

#dnd #party search #i just wanna play a narrative focused dnd game #with a small cool group of people #and not be the forever dm #i miss playing so fucking badly #also like #ideally lgbt+ people #21+ for sure #dungeons and dragons #d&d #dungeon master #campaign

Next time I run a table top game, I'm giving any killed enemy, NPC, or otherwise a 10% chance of swearing revenge and coming after the player characters, followed by percentile ranks of how successful they are ranging from "never finds them" up to "merges with a malevolent demigod which threatens to annihilate a large portion of the population in their bid for revenge."

combat additions to make it actually take more than a round for your players to kill your cool boss

difficult terrain. flood that cavern! oops the floor is lava! make the walls attack and grapple!

environmental effects in general. make an avalanche happen as soon as combat starts. combat during a storm is a great opportunity for lightning to strike. rain, snow, darkness, distance, fog, anything that'll impose disadvantage on their hits.

charm and fear effects. charm/fear conditions on a PC or two can totally turn the tide of an encounter.

straight up just swallow a PC or two. sometimes ingestion is the answer.

official statblock be damned, your boss should ALWAYS have additional legendary actions and/or resistances, condition and damage resistances/immunities, multiple attacks (probably more than the statblock says) and a motherfucking escape plan!

portals. seriously, just chuck some portals in there. I've never run a combat that couldn't be improved by the addition of a portal or two.

time constraints, mid-combat puzzles, a non-combat goal, anything the PCs have to do during the fight that isn't actually fighting.

in general, just get weird with it! wizards of the coast doesn't own you! no gods no masters! hit harder and have more fun!

I love homebrewing a world for my dnd campaign and writing some bullshit about an electric-magic energy grid or w/e bc I wanted to make it more modern but then ACTUALLY having to create something bc one of my players decided to be an electrician

He made this decision in like Jan/Feb and I am just now getting to actually flesh it out bc I need to introduce some shit I to the plot but it's fun and I'm actually super happy with what I came up with

#did i expect to flesh this out? #absolutely not #but my players are some of my closest friends #and i would do anything for them #including creaating an energy source thats a by-prouduct of arcane magic #things will happen with this later #which im very excited for #but i hope they think this shit is as cool as i do #dnd #homebrew #dnd homebrew #homebrew campaign

You know what fantasy writing needs? Working class wizards.

A crew of enchanters maintaining the perpetual flames that run the turbines that generate electricity, covered in ash and grime and stinking of hot chilies and rare mushrooms used for the enchantments

A wizard specializing in construction, casting feather fall on every worker, and enchanting every hammer to drive nails in straight, animating the living clay that makes up the core of the crane

An elderly wizard and her apprentice who transmute fragile broken objects. From furniture, to rotten wood beams, to delicate jewelry

A battle magician, trained with only a few rudimentary spells to solve a shortage of trained wizards on the front who uses his healing spells to help folks around town

Wizarding shops where cheery little mages enchant wooden blocks to be hammered into the sides of homes. Hammer this into the attic and it will scare off termites, toss this in the fire and clean your chimney, throw this in the air and all dust in the room gets sucked up

Wizard loggers who transmute cut trees into solid, square beams, reducing waste, and casting spells to speed up regrowth. The forest, they know, will not be too harsh on them if the lost tree’s children may grow in its place

Wizard farmers who grow their crops in arcane sigils to increase yield, or produce healthier fruit

Factory wizards who control a dozen little constructs that keep machines cleaned and operational, who cast armor to protect the hands of workers, and who, when the factory strikes for better wages, freeze the machines in place to ensure their bosses can’t bring anyone new in.

Anyway, think about it.

The “Necromancy is evil“ we see in most fantasy worlds stems from a christian view of having to honor the body after death in a certain way to ensure the soul’s safety in the afterlife. And while I encourage you to explore societies that don’t see necromancy as evil, I also encourage you to explore societies that see necromancy as evil for different reasons.

Drow might believe that after death, your body belongs to Lolth and must be fed to spiders. Reanimating a body means stealing from Lolth and must therefore be punished.

A Zoroastrian inspired society might believe that with death, evil starts infesting the body, so dead bodies must be kept away from the community, and reanimating them keeps them in the community and is therefore bad.

Veth: I wrote you a poem. I thought you’ve just been so distant from us, I just want to make sure you know that you’re part of the team, and part of the family.

#dnd item idea #a paper airplane that when opened only says to whom it may concern #but when thrown casts and area of affect spell centered on the landing spot #it could be any area of affect spell #identify can be used to figure out the spell level #but you have to use identify and make a arcana check #probably dc 20 bc why not #to figure out what spell it casts #anyways off i go to spec this out
