Tabaxi can speak to cats. Due to their feline nature, this race has the ability to speak to and comprehend cats, lions, tigers and any other feline beast in your setting. This is considered a known language as part of the character’s race, like tieflings and infernal.

so like, i really and truly have no idea how to “correctly” dm a dnd game. yesterday i made my friends go through this forest full of puzzles and every time they came across a puzzle i made them play $1 games i got at the dollar tree. if they won first or did good i gave them a sticker and then when they finally escaped the forest they leveled up equivalent to the amount of stickers they got.

You a The Best dm I have ever heard of

Imagine the possibility:

Look at those skeletones of saints that are just encrusted with jewels. And now imagine your Lich in a D&D campaign and how absolutely epic he looks.  And another plus: good luck with finding his phylactery.

BTW the first one is very basic but the second one is a drama queen, I know it.

DE-DE-DE-DAMN DEDAMITSA I tweeked her design a little bit Also there’s no way that tiny dress wouldn’t tear and just hang limply off her body whenever she transforms. lol she must visit the tailor’s more than she visits taverns. :P

The year end larp event is this weekend so went sewing like mad on a formal outfit. This is actually a coat, it’s lined in the red taffeta so you get nice pops of red as I walk 👌 almost done, cuffs are on the sleeves (wasn’t done that yet when I took these), I swapped the ties on the belt for hook and eyes cus it looks better and friend is lending me a bigger and better brooch for the belt, then style my wig and DONE!

I made a little packet/handout for people who find the Player Handbook’s explanation of filling out character sheets with stats. Apologies for any typos!

Feel free to message me with corrections or suggestions for improvements.

Dungeon Master Essentials

I decided to make a list of DM stuff that I personally use or think are important to know when it comes to being a DM. So here’s my list:

Medieval Fantasy City Generator: This generator is now my LIFE. It generates incredibly complex cities with good customization. (Thanks to plantkat for sharing this site in their post here)

Naming Your Towns/Cities: Now that you’ve made your city, time to name it and give it some character! This post contains lots of great information.

Index Cards Rule: Fuckyeahdnd shared a SUPER convenient way of keeping track of turns and HP in combat. I use this system now for every single session I run.

Tricks & Traps: I am AWFUL at coming up with good Dungeon traps and challenges, this PDF includes some incredible ideas. The original poster, Courtney C. Campbell also runs a blog where she shares tons of great stuff. (Thanks to we-are-rogue for sharing the PDF in their post here)

Playing Different Types of Characters: Writeinspiration has a masterpost on how to write/play lots of different types of characters.

Unique NPC Jobs: Lauraharrisbooks wrote a list of different Fantasy Jobs which can help populate your world with some unique characters! Another similar post by Thewritershandbook also covers Common Occupations in the Middle Ages. 

Developing Characters by Threes: Monticusrex’s method of creating characters help you really flesh out who they are. Useful for Players and DM’s.

Troublesome Players? Speak Up: Dicebound brings up an incredibly great point. If someone is being a jerk, speak up and call them out. This is especially important and relevant now to crush awful behavior before it even has a chance to show it’s ugly face.

List of D&D Resources: And finally, pretty much anything you might need for D&D.  (Character stuff, spells, online communities/ways to play, etc..) A lot of people contributed to this post but thank you Mushroomancy for posting the original list.

Donjon: And finally, this site is a great resource for looking up Spells and Monsters along with tons of other generators. Not every single Spell or Monster is on here, but most are listed.

(I tried to give credit to the original posters or the actual URL for websites, unless those sites or URLs were no longer active)
