This is my cosy little hub for D&D ideas and images that I want to use later.

Our DM’s Guide to D&D Classes

[thecheshirecass-deactivated2018]

This may be the greatest writing on D&D of our lifetimes. I know it looks like a lot, but please read it, you will be so happy and you will either begin to understand D&D or else recognize this rightness in your SOUL.

Spells

Hello. So one of my biggest complaints of the D&D 5e Player’s Handbook is that searching for spells is a bit of a pain. Even if you manage to obtain a pdf file of it, many of the spells’ titles are written l i k e th i s, making it quite difficult to search with the classic ctr-F. 

Because of this, I created a pdf of all of the spells that are in the book, complete with a table of contents linked to them, so you can search the table of contents for your spell, and then zip to the spell you need. Very useful, if I’m allowed to say.

Behold. It is on dropbox, though you can view it (without the magical zipping) without a dropbox account.

Happy D&D playing!

[carrionbeast]

shit!

[thesixthstar]

Hi so I’ve taken your document and taken your work a step further by putting every one of those spells into an Excel spreadsheet where each spell has separate columns for each aspect of it (level, school, casting time etc), including what classes have access to which spells!

This means that in addition to using ctr-F to search, a person can sort or filter by any number of criteria they’re looking for. For example, if someone is using the Arcane Trickster archetype for a rogue, they only have access to the Wizard spell list, and even then they can only (with a few exceptions) pick from the illusions and enchantments, so its useful to be able to sort by multiple criteria at once.

Here it is! You can only view, not sort, in the online view, and the way i’ve formatted it, the spell descriptions and a few other pieces of information get cut off by the edge of their cells so you’re gonna want to download this one to use it.

Coincidentally, there is also The Grimoire, which has been around for a few years now. It has all of the spells in the PHP + extra materials, and can be searched by title and also sorted by class, spell level, and tags (ie ‘illusion’ or ‘necromancy’).

[amiplayingright]

I also recommend this page from donjon, which is similar to the above but with spreadsheet-like filters rather than a search function

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)

My Patreon paper figure set this (last) month is 

APPALACHIAN FOLK MONSTERS

so here y’go! Some of these are from folk tales, some are a mishmash of stories that I’d heard growing up so I combined ‘em and laid names on ‘em, some are a hybrid of folk tales and the creations of rural pulp writer Manly Wade Wellman, who wrote horror yarns from the twenties through the eighties, some are native myths from the region that still hold sway with the locals. This is the kind of stuff I’ve got in my backyard out here in Kentucky.

If you’re inclined, you can download these as a free printable PDF, and cut your own cards, either to keep flat or stand up.  Here’s where you get ‘it (bottom of the post):

[probablybard]

Question: how horrible would a bard who made all their Insults for Vicious Mockery in The form of a Limerick be? Because that’s what I want from my bard.

I’d like to inform you, anon,that no bard casts only with songsand you may recitethe poems you writeto fight foes that may come along

[mooretimetoplay]

I had a Bard in 13th Age who would cast using sonnets; here’s my “Thunderwave”:

“The strike of evil urges me to act against the vagrant wretches, here arrayed. Let each of you here come to know this fact; my power soon will leave your corpses flayed. 

A burst of sound, a heavens trumpet blast to tear through bone and flesh and soul will rend your ranks, from first man to the last and ne'er again be mind and body whole. 

The rushing wind comes out to call your end, and Death names each of you in turn. His tome is closing, make your gods your friend As hell meets those whom maker still they spurn. 

Come say your final prayers, you wretched foes As soon the battle crashes to a close.”

[probablybard]

Now say all that in 6 seconds
