I'm not saying it's aliens, but...

Hi, I'm V. I am the Keeper of the current MotW campaign my friends, and I are playing. This is where I will be keeping track of our game's lore and events.

These are amazing, honestly. The first time I used one of these was the Desert Encounters and my players fucking loved it. I made them encounter a Blank on their way to a city, they fought over who could take care of it for days but eventually forgot to bring him with them to the next city…

The amount of content within these is actually insane. I held off on reblogging this for a little while to check through it, and man am I impressed by how much there is to work with

D&D Base Bundle

Want to play D&D but don’t have any of the books? Are you just a DM who wants to create a full-fledged campaign but writing it all down is a hassle? Thankfully, I spent a week of my life compiling the solution to this!

Introducing the D&D Base Bundle! This entails:

A Campaign Base, modeled after the D&D pre-written adventure Tomb of Annihilation. The perfect spot to compile every fact about your world and story!

A Monster Guide, using the monsters available from The Lost Mine of Phandelver. A comprehensive list of every monster’s statistics and abilities!

An Item Reference, listing almost every purchasable item from The Player’s Handbook. Everything your merchants will ever need is listed here!

An Editable Character Sheet which does all of the calculations for you. (Note: Not my creation but is included in the bundle. The original can be found here.)

The D&D Base Bundle is free to access, free to use, and free to mess with as much as your party requires. In order to use it, simply click on the File tab under the document name, select Make a Copy, and then the document is yours!

Dungeons and Dragons your heart out with ease!

Every once in awhile, an old D&D 5e reference post of mine goes around, but uh… a few of those links are busted now, SO HOW ABOUT I JUST MAKE A NEW POST?? With all the stuff I use to make D&D Characters

I have a GDrive folder of the books: including the Handbook, DM’s Guide, Monster Manual, the Elemental Evil companion, even Volo’s Guide to Monsters and an auto-calculating character sheet! 

This website’s pretty good for homebrew races/classes (just remember to chat w/your DM abt using homebrew and if you need to nerf them. Some of them are kinda OP on that site…)

Don’t know who/what to play? No problem! Find out who the fuck your D&D character is right now!

 Use the 4d6 Drop Lowest setting on this dice roller for your stats 

Here’s a dice roller for anything else you could possibly roll 

I use a mobile app as a reference for spells now, but here’s a website or two that will tell you abt spells

Bonus: my D&D/inspiration sideblog’s actual D&D tag has a bunch of fun homebrew pages and ideas and info, if you got the time/concentration to spare on the longer posts

So this is a cheat-sheet I’ve made for personal use to just have an overview over all the basic D&D rules. The first page covers most of the text rules. The color divides the sections more or less from one another.

The second page covers most of the important tables and stats, that you’ll probably need through the game. Hope you like it and find some use for this! Cheers.

It’s been a lot of work, but the Underwater Adventure PDF is finished! It includes five races, some magic items, a couple additional rules and variants, and reworks of underwater animals! This PDF was made as a ‘Thank you!’ for supporting my project to bring D&D to local libraries. 

Download it, or use it online through Dropbox

Reblogs are greatly appreciated!

Bleeding Out (Mt. Rushmore Part 8)

Bobby gets a phone call from Jet (like who does that anymore??  Just text!!).

“HALP!!! I’mbeingchasedbyrepitllains,” yelled Jet into his phone as he dodges swings.

“Where are you?!” cried Bobby, dad-mode kicking in.

“Mountaininsidehalp.  Somanylizards.  I’mgonnadie,” said Jet, before his phone clicked off.

Bobby tells the others the situation, and with plenty of time before they need to meet up with Edgar, the team rushes towards the mountain.

Jet finds his way into the hall across from the control room.  After passing through a dark spot, Jet finds himself in hallway that is numbered from 1-12.  He tries the last door on his right (number 12) and finds it unlocked.  He quickly enters, and the room looks exactly like an expensive hotel room.  There is a lobby type area and two beds in the room.  Jet locks the door behind him, including the sliding chain lock and then proceeds to dab at his wounds with a towel (did I mention he is at unstable health??).  Jet decides his best option is to rest on one of the beds until the team arrives, but he takes no other actions to improve his failing health.  He just starts sleeping and bleeding out onto the beautifully-made bed and hopes for the best.

Will Bobby, Rowan, and Lilith make it on time to Jet?  Will Jet bleed out on the bed?  Will the lizard-people ever get Jet’s blood-stains out of the towels and sheets?!  Next time on… the adventures of Edgar, my favorite character!

[scrumptiouslyplayingrpg]

The best character (Mt. Rushmore part 7)

The team looks for someone to speak to; they hope to find access to behind the stage.  They choose a gentleman named Edgar Charles (54).  He looks like Louis Sachar (author).  He hates cats and has a Gru accent.  He wears an American flag pin and is hanging up flags with vigor!  (welcome Edgar.  The characters with the most development in this entire game).

Lilith approaches Edgar and stares at him with her creepy/charm.  Edgar eagerly greets the team and offers them flag pins from his pocket.  He proclaims that he is glad to be an American and is very excited about the event today.

“God bless America,” he says loudly.

Bobby looks this poor man in the eyes and says, “The President is a lizard-man”.

To which Edgar replies, “Oh!  Just like the queen?!  God bless her!”.

“Yes…” said Bobby.

“Oh. Well then.  How can I help?” Edgar is happy to help fellow Americans.

“We need worker uniforms,” said Bobby.

“Gasp, for disguises!!!”

“Yes.  So, we can access the…”

“Of course!!!” said Edgar.  “I will get two on my lunch break at noon.”

Confused but pleased, Bobby thanks the man and makes plans to meet up later at the Borglum view terrace.

Amazing Observation Skills (Mt. Rushmore Part 6)

MEANWHILE, the Bobbie, Rowan, and Lilith enter the amphitheater.  People are running around hanging up American flags and doing other preparations for the Memorial day celebration.  One lady stands out from the rest; she wears a pink button up and pencil skirt, her hair in a tight bun and a clipboard in her hand.  She appears to be giving orders and checking things off her list (HINT: this is the woman from the ice cream shop that shoved her cone in Jet’s face).  The team also noticed several members of the secret service, checking the perimeter.  The heroes also realize the best way in and out of the area is the doors to the back of the room; these are also the easiest doors to block.  The group guesses that there must be a back entrance, since many workers have been appearing from behind the stage.  It also seems the fences around the complex have been risen and barbed wire has been added for this event, obviously to protect the president during his speech.

[scrumptiouslyplayingrpg]

The Control Room (Mt. Rushmore Part 5)

The group does some planning and decide to send Jet to climb the mountain.  (Bobby thinks Jet is expendable, but the players know Jet can’t die.  Here we forgot to do a manipulation roll and will next time this comes up.) 

Jet takes off with his bit of rope and shovel to climb the mountain.  The rest of the team heads to the amphitheater to scout for the big fight later.  Jet investigates the base of the mountain and figures out that the best way in is through the mountain instead of climbing up.  He starts digging and manages to make a big enough hole to squeeze through.  After breaking through, Jet finds himself in a long tunnel, which eventually turns into pavement.  He continues walking until he enters a large room that looks like a NASA command room; the room is circular with a center space that is sunk down into the ground.  In the center space the walls are lined with computers; in the top area is separated from the bottom with a little safety fence, and there is a water cooler and fake plants around this area.  Jet charges right in and then takes notice of the occupants of the room.  In the room there are twelve lizard people (they are all in various stages of transformation: full-human, half-human/half-lizard, full-lizard and all kinds of in-between).  Jet realizes his mistake too late and engages in combat with the Reptilian known only as Greg.  Greg is to be feared.  Greg bites Jet and starts sucking BLOOD!! *le gasp*.  Jet manages to get free and gets a hit on Greg.  The other Reptilians block off the exit and cause some damage to Jet, but Jet sees another opening across the room, so he sprints towards it.  As Jet runs, he whips out his phone and calls Bobbie, but he also gets another bite on him by another lizard.

[scrumptiouslyplayingrpg]

(Mt. Rushmore Part 4)

The group continues their walk around the trail.  They find a very large snake skin on the trail.  Suspicious, Bobby keeps the skin.  As they walk, Rowan takes in the peaceful scenery and (using a move) has a feeling the next event will happen in the parking lot before the park opens the next day (around 4 o’clock), so they return to the van to catch some sleep before the event.  Except Jet who decides he needs to get his cardio in and goes to the amphitheater to run on the steps.  Workers are annoyed at him and are setting up chairs for a major event.

First, Bobby does some research in his many books.  Then, he remembers something from an earlier time and calls up an old friend David Icke the British conspiracy theorist.  Aparently, Bobby was the one who suggested lizard people to Icke, and Icke ran with it.  Bobby feels responsible for accidentlly creating this theory.  Between Icke and his research, Bobby decides the creature must be a lizard person.  Bobby also finally opens the pamplet that tells of the parks events over the next couple of days and finds out an important American figure associated with the lizard people is going to be speaking the next day.

The team tries to get some sleep, but they all have nightmares warning them of the future (except Lilith because she doesn’t sleep).  Jet is shakened from his stupor, but Rowan and Bobby both go into a state of depression.  Bobby doesn’t react when Rowan gets out of the car, nor does he react when his phone alarm goes off telling him to get outside and look for the next event.

The nightmare was of a large room with many people all screaming and trying to “get out”.  They are clawing at the walls.  They can’t escape.  They are terrified.

In true Rowan style, she commits herself to death and walks towards the park.  Rowan sees Macy Brown, reporter trying to climb the fence into the park.  Rowan watches as Macy is swallowed whole right in front of her by a half-human and half-lizard person (top half is lizard).  Rowan, in her depressed state, decides to climb the fence and follow the lizard-person, but is stopped by a park ranger?(guard/person).  Rowan decides to fight the guard, but Bobby comes to the officer’s recuse.  Jet finally got Bobby moving after some persuasion.

The officer tells Bobby to keep his kid in line and then walks back to where ever he came from.

Rowan and Bobby are finanlly able to shake their depression and grab their gear because it is monster hunting time!!!  They hop the fence and head for the mountain because where else would the monster be?  (plus, that’s where granny was attacked.)

The group finds a GIANT lizard tail stuck in the base of the mountain.  It is cut off.  Bobby manages to get it out of the mountain and keeps it (the sicko).  The team decides they needs to climb the mountain and goes to get supplies from the NPS center.  They steal some rope and a shovel from outside the office since it has an alarm system.  The group debates on what their next action should be?  Should they split up?  What could they possibly do next?

NEXT TIME ON... the Mt. Rushmore Mystery!!!

[scrumptiouslyplayingrpg]

Female NPCs (Mt. Rushmore Part 3)

SIDE NOTE: the team does not have their weapons in the park as it is heavily guarded, and bags are checked at the door.

The group more determined now than ever decide to go to the NPS (national park service) office.  Bobby says they should be able to learn about the “snake bite” there.  Before they leave, another woman enters the ice cream shop (because apparently the Keeper only knows how to write female NPCs. lol).  This woman is dressed to a tee.  Sharp white button up coupled with a pencil skirt.  She has a BlueTooth in one ear and a clipboard in the other.  Her heels click on the tile as she enters.  She quickly picks up an ice cream from the counter.  Jet Cool briefly tries to flirt with her, but she takes one look at him, shoves the ice cream in his face and says, “If you speak with me again, I’ll call my lawyer”.  She orders a new ice cream and promptly leaves.

Our heros leave shortly behind this woman and head to the NPS office, only to find it closed.  At this time the group decides to walk the Presidential Trail to see if they find anything.  After about 20 minutes on the trail,  a young teenage woman rushes towards them; tears freely flow down her face.

“My grandma!” she yells.  “She’s down the trail.  I think a snake bit her!” Bobby and Rowan leap into action, and Jet leaps into flirting (hey a young lady needs help!).  They find a little old woman lying on the train near a park bench; a small terrier licking her hand.  Bobby quickly scans the body to find two bite marks on her neck very much like the described marks on Lucas Davenport.  Lilith performs “magic” to heal the grandma, but her own hands go numb in the process.

The old lady thanks them for helping her and is grateful “they had snake kit”.  She tells the group that a man in a suit attacked her, and then she woke up on the ground.  When the team presses for details.  She said she was hit from behind, passed out, hit the ground, which woke her enough to see a man in a black suit running away from her.  The team finds a large stick they assumed was used to hit the old woman, and Lilith decides to keep the stick as a memento.

[scrumptiouslyplayingrpg]

Because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Mt. Rushmore Part 2)

The group moves to Carvers Cafe/ Memorial Team Ice Cream Shop.  Jet Cool is now more interested in the ice cream than anything else.  He tries to convince Rowan (*cough MONEYBAGS cough*) to buy him ice cream.  She declines because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but then offers to buy Bobby ice cream and also wants to get herself some.

Shortly after arriving at the shop, the woman with a notebook comes in and slinks to a corner table and is obviously watching them.  Bobby is having none of this and sits down at her table and demands to know why she is following them.  Lilith slides in behind Bobby and creeps.  Meanwhile, Rowan gets Bobby and herself some ice cream (yeah!).  After being called out, the woman identifies herself as Macy Brown, news reporter.  Macy has a “Can I speak to a manager?” haircut and is dressed nicer than most people at the park.  Macy is convinced something shady is happening at the park because after the initial report, the park has not followed up with any snake hunts or anything else that might clue in on what happened to Lucas Davenport.

Rowan now slides up to the table, handing Bobby an ice cream cone.  Rowan uses her people skills to get a read on Macy and decides she is telling the truth.

As the conversation continues, a familiar face with an unfamiliar outfit walks into the shop.  In a area cop outfit (gray), Officer Jane Whitbeck approaches the ice cream counter.  The team, eager to see the officer, joyously approach her and ask her why she is here, but Officer Whitbeck denies knowing who they are and quickly leaves with her ice cream.  Rowan again uses her people skills and learns OFFICER WHITBECK IS LYING!  *le gasp*.

[scrumptiouslyplayingrpg]

It’s VAMPIRES?!! (Mt. Rushmore Mystery Part 1)

The gang is back at it!  They got a little RnR (those hit points. yay!) and went on their merry way.  It is now the middle of June, and the weather is getting toasty.  Rowan drove them aimlessly north to cooler weather until, Bobby hears a report on the news: “Lucas Davenport was found at the Mount Rushmore Monument with unusual bite marks— two fang marks on his neck”.  His immediate reaction is “Let’s go kill some vampires!!!”

The gang rolls up two days after the body was found of Lucas.  They park in the Lincoln Parking Ramp and begin their search for information, so they go to… THE INFORMATION CENTER and BOOKSTORE!!!  Lilith wants to know why they can’t visit the dog park first and also asks if they can get a dog.  While in the center, the group is greeted by UNNAMED FEMALE TEENAGE WORKER!!! Who hands them a pamphlet and a schedule for events and talks about the scenic routes and the dog park available at the monument.    Bobbie jumps in with the questions, while Jet jumps in with the flirting.  Both are unsuccessful as the underpaid teenager has no clue about Lucas and didn’t even realise it happened; she also turns down Jet in a heartbeat.

While talking to UNNAMED FEMALE TEENAGE WORKER! Rowan notices a woman casually walking around and not-so-casually taking notes on everything Bobby says.

[scrumptiouslyplayingrpg]

Confusion and Headaches (4 Corners Part 6)

The team beheads all of the remaining Greys (mainly Rowan), and they exit the spacecraft.  Betty is on the ground nursing her head, appearing to have a headache, while Barney rests a hand on her back and holds his own head with his other hand.  Rowan attacks Betty, kicking her in the head.  Barney shoves Rowan off, more confused than angry.  Betty is now unconscious because of the blow.

Jet questions Barney about his involvement in the kidnappings and says they have been under the Greys’ mind-control since 1961.  They are both suffering from massive headaches and are both confused as to exactly what is going on, but them seem to have a better understanding of their situation than anyone else who has been broken from the mind-control.

Jet Cool tells Barney to “Be Cool”, gives his scythe to Barney, and makes his way to the machinery in the back of the empty Wal-Mart.  Barney also approaches the group of people there, who freak out that DEATH is coming.

Bobby also investigates around the Grey creator (the large machinery), and he finds out the people there are also suffering from headaches and confusion.  The machinery has also been stopped (is no longer even trying to function) after the button was pushed inside the UFO.  Everyone pitches in to destroy the creator.

Unbeknownst to everyone there, Thomas Hudson (the little boy who Jet attacked) did what all small children are taught to do in an emergency: he called the freaking police.  Thomas climbed into the van and found a phone to make his call.

As Barney conducts the final swing on the machinery, Bobby says the police are coming (after stepping back to let the others destroy the thing, he heard the sirens).  Right then, Officer Jones, joined by cop Officer Jane Whitbeck and a few others our heros haven’t met yet, run into the compound.  They immediately spot Barney with the scythe and point all guns on him.

Bobby takes the lead and tries to calm the situation by talking to Officer Jones, who cannot believe there is an alien spaceship in this Wal-Mart.  As humans are wont to do, Jones will accept any explanation to keep his own sanity; he is convinced the Hills orchestrated this entire set up: kidnapping people, blaming aliens, etc, etc.  However, Bobby tries to convince Jones that there really were aliens and that the Hills were mind-controlled this entire time.

Officer Whitbeck joins in their discussion, saying that “She’ll take care of it.” and tells Bobby to get out of town and to take his friends with him.  Bobby seeing a means of escape out of paperwork and more questions, grabs the crew and gets everyone in the van.  On to the next adventure!!!

Sidenote that was never resolved: The van was out of gas!  The Keeper’s solution: Rowan siphoned gas out of a cop car, probably.
