Dear fateful year of 2017, โข Here is a toast to your younger brother, 2019. To show you that hope shall never be abandoned, not ever even in the darkest of hours. Proof that when all signs of regaining happiness seems lost, that it is still possible no matter the insurmountable odds. A reminder to hold steadfast, to stay the course. โข Here is to discovering a beautiful community to share and enjoy my nerdy content with; โข ๐จConnecting with insanely talented community artists and creating the #CoalitionCollaboration as a result โข ๐#GenCon in Indianapolis, IN โข ๐บStreaming a 1-shot charity fundraiser played with other D&D themed pages and personalities โข ๐Connecting with brilliant D&D-loving individuals in Season 1 of the #CoalitionCast โข ๐พMore 1-shots with beautiful people at #PAXUnplugged โข ๐คEstablishing #TheCoalition - a network of like minded people who also have a passion and drive for sharing their love of D&D โข ๐ฒBut most importantly, rolling dice on a very frequent basis with my friends โข Taking a moment of gratitude and reflecting all that has occurred in 2019 has me absolutely starstruck. When I started The D&D Coalition earlier this year, I never would have hoped to find such a warm and welcoming community. This has been such an incredible experience connecting with all of you; I eagerly await to discover what 2020 holds. โข With all the love and thankfulness, your friend Cameron โข #dndcoalition https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vugebBDQC/?igshid=8uzvvpl0qo4w

Blood & magic, steel & feathers, sand & gold! Maztica holds many wonders and dangers alike! Book one done! That was a short read. At 314 pages, and a few hours a day, it only took a few days. Ready to start the next one in the trilogy, and see what happens to Erix and Halloran as they travel inland to Nexal. . . . . #dnd #douglasniles #dungeonsanddragons #gameroom #wotc #rpg #tabletopgames #tabletoprpg #d20 #volo #xanathar #dmz #dmzayton #dungeonmaster #dungeonmasterlife #d&dadventurersclub #dndcoalition #dndexperience #analoggames https://www.instagram.com/p/B4F-nfnJvoz/?igshid=1613eol9hhvm6

Itโs been quite the trip around the sun๐ฅ๐
โฃ 2020 came with a dump truck full of trails and tribulations but if youโre reading this, congratulations you made it!๐๐ผ โฃ On a personal level, this was a year of learning. I learned things about myself that I never realized, my coping mechanisms, how to communicate more effectively in my relationship, how to prioritize, how to say no, but most importantly how to be content. โฃ Although I have been on the down-low with sharing content, I have been creating and crafting more now than ever. I have been doing it for myself and my own personal enjoyment. โฃ There is absolutely nothing wrong with creating content for an audience, but when you become overwhelmed you must take care of yourself before worrying about entertaining others. โฃ This year has provided me with a clear path for my own journey in personal growth. Things like how to ask for help, ACCEPTING help, better time management, daily micro-goals, independence, acknowledging the little things, accepting imperfections as a detail on the canvas rather than a mistake. โฃ 2020 was a year of survival. โฃ Now weโre moving onward and upward๐ค๐ผ โฃ ๐My deepest gratitude to all of you who continue to build this community and for the kindness you share. โฃ YOU are the heroes of this adventure. โฃ #dndcoalition https://www.instagram.com/p/CJjA-BpBnjI/?igshid=19hmgk53wpudh

How often do you utilize scrolls in your campaign?๐ โฃ Scrolls are a highly under utilized tool; in the heat of the moment they can be easy to forget. But if think about it, they're literally free spell slots and should be used much more often! โฃ ๐คIf you have a wizard or cleric in your party, why not use the party funds to purchase components for them to create scrolls for they party? It's always good to have "buff" spells on-hand; spells that can be cast before combat to give you an advantage. โฃ This can easily be taken advantage of and be considered "meta-gaming" or "min-maxing" but it may the difference between life and death in some encounters. โฃ Here's a table you can use for your players to create scrolls in their downtime! โฃ โฌ๏ธIs downtime something you capitalize on in your campaign?

Are you currently playing in a campaign setting or homebrew world?๐บ โฃ After 80 Sessions my current home campaign is coming to a close. The setting was a good mix of #StormKingsThunder and homebrew content that I had intertwined, focusing heavily on my characters backgrounds. This created an epic tale that you can actually read all about on my @worldanvil page starting with Session 0!โ โฃ With a cascade of emotions that come with a storybook ending, I am equally as excited to usher in the new campaign. Growing up on @r_a_salvatore's Drizzt novels, I literally shrieked out loud when I heard about #RimeoftheFrostmaiden ๐ โฃ We are having our Session 0 this weekend and I couldn't be more pumped! In preparation, I downloaded my friend Anthony's (@dungeoninfluence) Session Zero: Checklist that is available on DM's Guild. This is a great tool for any DM no matter what your experience level is. โฃ โ๏ธAs with my last campaign, you will be getting a good mix of the content I create for my players! โฃ What types of content would you like to see more of that could help you?

2020 has been quite the year to say the least. โฃ We can all agree that it has been a year of hardship; but more importantly it has been a year of growth. Here are 6ย truths that I have witnessed time and time again over these past few months. โฃ โข โข โข โฃ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐. No matter how gracious you are, you can always be more thankful, and ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ has something to be thankful for. โฃ ๐ค๐๐จ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐๐. Give kindness freely and often. Do not hold people in contempt for not sharing it in return, even if you go over and beyond for them. Life is short, don't take it personally. โฃ ๐จ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐ฅ๐๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐. Spend your time doing things you love because you love it. Never let your light dim and if you feel yourself burning out, focus on other outlets! โฃ โฐ๐
๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ค๐ฌ. Your loved ones, family, friends, passions, and the things that make you jump out of bed for in the morning. โฃ ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ. Realistically there are very few things in life that we can actually control, but those few things can have a massive impact on your life (eating healthy, exercise, daily 10-minute meditation, etc). โฃ ๐ฅ๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐จ๐ค ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ก. Take care of yourself; your mental and physical health, your spirit...get your ducks in a row before you go poking other peoples ducks. โฃ โข โข โข โฃ This time away from social media was out of necessity for celebration! Difficult times and hardships are often accompanied by opportunity. In my personal life I was able to achieve new heights at my job, buy a new home, and overall cherish time at home with my family (with the world shut down and all). โฃ Perspective is everything. Change your outlook and watch yourself evolve and grow as a person. โฃ Love y'all. Now back to the nerdiness๐ค โฃ #dndcoalition https://www.instagram.com/p/CG5YhHRBpkz/?igshid=k87kbm635g1t

How do you grant access to teleportation circles?๐ช โฃ Teleportation Circle is an incredible spell that can give players access to various "hubs" all across the content. In instant you can go from one end of the world to the other; making those grueling traveling session obsolete. โฃ This can be a bit game breaking, but when planned out accordingly this becomes a major asset to your game! If your players to have access to Teleportation Circle, make it interesting! โฃ ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธPerhaps they need to swear fealty to a guild, or pay a hefty fee every time they use a factions circle, or perform a task for a great wizard who upon competition will grant the party access to their grand library. โฃ This is such an exciting spell to have so treat it as such! But first make sure your players suffer through at least 1 or 2 of those "grueling" travel sessions. This way they will really appreciate having access to this game-changing ability๐ โฃ ๐จArt by Paul Canavan (@abigbat). โฃ What are your ideas for incorporating Teleportation Circles? โฃ #dndcoalition https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9ugAKhMR8/?igshid=ezc7dzpuyey9
