Don't leave it up to the dice!
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of how combat works in D&D 5e. There are so many powerful and meaningful decisions to make in any given round of combat. I love that each character or creature can do multiple things on any given turn. What it boils down to is that I love […]
You’re making quick work of this vicious beast. Two heads down, three to go. You turn to cheer at your companions but are met by expressions of pure horror. Slowly, you turn back to face the hydra as it stares you down with four new heads baring a set of piercing sharp teeth. You may […]
It’s been a while since my last homebrew post on here, so I figured for my birthday and the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate today I’d make a new batch of homebrew to tackle one of the biggest problems in D&D 5e. The problem? Whips being practically useless in their current state! It’s a […]
Beastmaster’s Daughter is a D&D 5e one-shot module written by Dave B. Stevens recommended for a party of 3-6 3rd level characters. The party responds to a job advertisement posted in a tavern not far away from the Aldritch Research Centre & Zoo. The job description is mysterious, but pays extremely well! What comes next […]
In my research for my post earlier this week on how different systems handle skill checks, I found that a number of DMs like to use scaling ability checks. I’m absolutely not a fan as they take away from the players and create a sense of “difficulty for the sake of difficulty”. A scaling ability […]
D&D 5e is hands-down my favorite tabletop RPG. I’m big into combat and dungeon delving and those are arguably two of the focuses of D&D 5e. That being said, I don’t shy away from trying out different systems. It’s a good way to find out how other systems handle RPG mechanics such as skill checks. […]
College of Glamour Bard: Become Jack Black A Very Special 100th Post (Un)fortunately, the reception of our last Jack Black Character Build was well-received. In fact, it was too well-received! The people wanted more! And who are we to deny the people what they want? So back to the drawing board my minions and I went where […]
You wake up restrained by tough, hempen rope. A crowd full of snake-like yuan-ti look on as a priestess uncorks a vial of green liquid. Two large, lizard-like beings hold you down and force your mouth open. As the priestess pours the liquid down your throat you can feel your skin hardening into scales. You’re […]
Explosives and guns in D&D 5e are where many groups draw a line in the sand. Traditionally speaking, it sort of makes sense since most groups opt for a more medieval, high fantasy, or Tolkien-esque setting. There weren’t any guns in any of these settings so it’s a bit jarring to include them. However, in […]
I’d wager that Dungeon Master burnout is one of the top 3 reasons for a D&D campaign dying off. It can be a lot of work to prep for your sessions, doubly so if you’re creating a homebrew campaign. Depending on how experienced a DM you are you may even deal with some stage-fright before […]
