D&D Community, we are needed!!!
The new OGL that WotC and Hasbro are trying to implement is damaging to all content creators. Many platforms of TTRPGs, your favorite D&D podcasts, and homebrew creators will all suffer because of their greed. Below is a link to an open letter asking them to not go through with it.
We, the community, have brought success to D&D. Not the other way around. Please, click the link and sign it. Reblog and like this post to spread awareness of this open letter and pray things work out. We deserve better.
#OpenDND
Please, check out this petition and sign it if you're against the new OGL.
Try to also contact WOTC through whichever methods are available (politely, though, and don't harass employees). Use the OneDnD surveys to give feedback.
Boycott their products. Don't but new books, don't watch the movie, don't give them a cent.
And unsuscribe from DnD Beyond, most importantly. When you do, explain why did you unsuscribe.
You can't tell me Imogen sundering the sun tree for Laudna isn't a direct mirror to our lord and savior Laerryn Coramar-Seelie blighting the arboreal bitch for Loquatius 👏👏 if you don't go around cutting down trees for the ones you silently and painfully love, what are you even doing? ✨
forget me not
My husband’s DnD group was joined by Elle Woods yesterday
My husband is the technical director of a local news station, and plays DnD with a few guys from his department on Fridays — one of the young TV anchors heard them talking about it, asked if she could join, and went to the game store for a set of hot pink playing dice. Her character is a human who can turn into a unicorn. I’m obsessed.
What's her class? It could have gone like 5 different ways, and you've made me extremely curious.
She is a Warlock! Her patron is the reason she can turn into a unicorn. She sent my husband and I a “thank you for hosting” note.
This 10 page document goes over how I build cities, worlds, and characters for tabletop role-playing games. Inside you'll find a bunch of tips and tricks to make a watertight world that makes improv easy! (And some cute drawings, to boot.) Plus, you get access to my own personal interactive campaign map for inspiration.
Do you want to build COOL WORLDS that can STAND UP to your player’s UTTER TOMFOOLERY!?
Well have I got just the thing for you.
My lil document, “Worldbuilding for Tabletop Roleplaying Games” covers all my fun tips and tricks to make a city (and world) that feels solid and immersive. best part? It’s only ten pages long, and has a bunch of cute little pictures! Who doesn’t like cute little pictures? Oh, wait. That’s not the best part. The best part is that it’s
COMPLETELY FREE!
Unless you, y’know, wanna help a girl out and throw her a few bucks, in which case… you’re awesome. I put a lot of work into this, but I don’t feel right putting it behind a paywall. DnD for all!
[In case anyone’s confused, the suggested price is $3, but you can type in $0 and still download it.]
If you like Dungeons and Dragons, please check this out and share it with your friends, your fellows, and your DM’s.
And, hey, if you really like it, let me know. I’ll make more of them that cover other topics. :) All I ask is that you share it from gumroad so that I know how many people are downloading and enjoying it.
[Thanks for your continued support, y’all! And don’t forget, if you like my art, check out my DnD Campaign Artbooks (available here and here) for just five bucks each! It’s like… a lot of art. Like over 250 pieces of art.]
Seeing as I just got an influx of new DnD followers, I thought I’d post this again! I wrote this shorthand guidebook a long time ago and it’s gotten excellent reviews.
The reason tabletop RPGs use polyhedral dice – in spite of them being such an unlikely thing to have on hand in the pre-gaming-store era, and rare even in the roleplaying hobby’s tabletop wargame predecessors – is because there just happened to be an educational supply store where they could easily be sourced near where the designers of Dungeons & Dragons lived.
The reason that D&D dragons are colour-coded is because the game pre-dates the widespread availability of fantasy minifigs, so they represented dragons using plastic dinosaurs from the local five-and-dime, and those are just the colours that the plastic dinosaurs used to represent each type of dragon happened to be.
The reason that iconic D&D monsters like the bulette, the owlbear and the rust monster exist is because one day, a bunch of bootleg Ultraman kaiju figurines just happened to be mixed in with the plastic dinosaurs, and – being unfamiliar with Ultraman, and the bootlegs in question being almost unrecognisably shitty anyway – they statted up what they thought the figurines looked like.
Sometimes I wonder what the history of the tabletop roleplaying hobby would have looked like if any of those coincidences had lined up just a little bit differently.
Art and design challenge, everyone:
Find the cheapest, weirdest, ugliest little toy or bauble you can at a local dollar store or thrift shop. Design a new tabletop monster off of that.
I would LOVE to try and figure out what kaiju ended up being the inspiration for what classic monster
Knock yourself out – the linked page contains numerous photos of what’s believed to be the specific set of plastic “dinosaurs” that served as the original minifigs for monsters in question. Some of the figures that are included in the set are clearly identifiable as classic Ultraman bootlegs, while others are less recognisable; to the best of my knowledge, nobody’s 100% sure what the figure that inspired the owlbear is supposed to be. For reference, it’s this one:
ohhh shit, i always thought the “original” art was just dumb and terrible
“that looks nothing like an owl OR a bear!” i thought
but now i see that it is a VERY ACCURATE ARTISTIC RENDERING
OF SOMETHING THAT IS ITSELF /VERY STUPID LOOKING/
in the tags describe your ttrpg character’s backstory as badly as possible in one sentence. i’ll start: local woman who has lived next to the ocean her entire life sees an extra tall wave one time and immediately decides to become an anarchist nun.
The Exandria DMs talking about the shit their partners put up with bc they're obsessed with worldbuilding is hilarious. The idea of brennan lee mulligan standing in his kitchen, in the dark, holding a half filled thing of half and half, staring into the middle distance and thinking about dnd is the funniest thing I've heard in a while
throwback to this post izzy made on instagram a few months ago
But this is a MOOD though! Like, I do this. I AM this. I can just completely forget the real world exist in favor of a compelling story, world or character idea.
I will 100% admit I do this. Luckily we're both autistic so partner's just like "ok Liz.exe is buffering"
How Grey's Anatomy characters play dnd - Part one: MAGIC
Meredith
Zones out for five minutes until something catches her attention
Tries her best to get engaged in roleplay, fails miserably
Tragic Backstories galore
Plays Warlock a lot, she says it's because they're 'dark and twisty'
Probably played a half-elf at one point
True Neutral most of the time
Gets terrible rolls when it's important
Dexterity is her dump stat more often than not
All of her characters are in desperate need of therapy
Alex
Gets surprisingly into it
Does different voices for his characters, fantastic at roleplay
Plays exclusively martial classes because he hates keeping track of spell slots
Loves Barbarian, focuses on rages
He played a tiefling once and Cristina makes even more frequent 'Evil Spawn' jokes
Chaotic Neutral
Has never once multi-classed and refuses to because he doesn't want to mid-max and make the game too easy
All of his characters have at least 14 charisma
Any time he rolls less than an eight that d20 goes to dice jail for the week
George
The poor DM
Has been playing since middle school and ended up roping the others into it
Maps? Figures? Books? You name it, George has it
Gets really into roleplay, has made a player (*cough* Izzie *Cough*) cry
Uses pre-made campaigns as a blueprint for his own
Literally all of his shopkeepers are level 20 retired adventurers
If you try any "Roll to seduce" crap he will say yes, but the DC will be so impossibly high that you'll need to roll a nat 20 with +5 charisma to pass
Writes so many details into his campaigns and ends up getting sad when they aren't used
Izzie
Bard main for sure
Wisdom is her highest stat regardless of class
Gets way too attached to NPC's
Probably a dice goblin
Has never once played a musical bard
Thinks she's good at roleplay, really isn't
Overuses Viscous Mockery
She plays Variant Human a lot, mostly for the feat at level one
Neutral Good
Cristina
The only one who takes notes
Likes Rogue, but doesn't have a preferred class
Plays a Warforged on occasion
Has never once dumped Intelligence
Does the bare minimum in terms of roleplay
Another frequent user of dice jail
Lawful Neutral
Ends up solving over half of the puzzles
My favorite thing about Dungeons & Dragons is how fucking quickly people become ride-or-die bitches with each other
And it happens with PLAYERS too. Most of my closest friends are people i met through DnD
My favorite thing about Dungeons & Dragons is how fucking quickly people become ride-or-die bitches with each other
no lie i had a campaign where I tried playing a really chaotic neutral “leave me alone” rouge and ended up attached at the hip to our monk who couldn’t roll higher than a natural 10 to literally save his life bc in our first encounter he called my character “a nice lass” and that was all it took
Every time i see one of the 'Imogen looking at Dusk' posts she looks like she's trying to explode them with her mind
My beloatheds!! Who wouldve guessed?
Cant wait to periodically check in on the imodna tag during tonight's stream . Just to see how things are going
where else will you touch me? where else inside me could you possibly live? i'll make room. / maybe if i fall asleep holding onto your hand you'll come into the dream with me too.
