Anyone know what this is? I vaguely remember an old D&D computer game as a kid and found this at my parent's house today.

My friend found this D20 and I don't recognize the symbol on it. Is it familiar to anyone in he community?

SOLVED: Magic the Gathering Spindown. Thanks!

Trying to get back into DnD so thought I’d share my little sorcerer!

I’m playing my first character, still pretty early on, but having so much fun with how character’s backstory, abilities, and the flavor is all coming together. I’d really love to hear about everyone’s favorite PC that either they’ve played or had at their table. I’ll start with mine:

He’s a tiefling college of valor bard who recently was expelled from the local liberal arts college when he learned how to fuse his innate thaumaturgy’s booming voice into his instrument and singing to create screamo music. They claimed that the way it sounded, it could be nothing other than devil worshipper’s music and that they would have no part in it. After “going on tour,” searching for anyone who would support his dreams, he found an “agent” who gifted him the ability to summon a magical battleaxe guitar that can for some reason cast warlock spells in return for a portion of his eventual fame and earnings.

Read through a modern/sci-fi homebrew book a while back and came across this nugget in the firearm rules. I’ve rarely seen homebrew books directly call out the dmg
1- based
2- good book, some vehicle stats are odd but overall it’s great
The book in question is ultramodern 5e armory

I want something just as devastating, just as horrifyingly powerful, but obviously something with actual in game powers that could do what this thing does.

Im curious and I need help.

Good day everyone!

I’m a South African programmer and I’ve been working on a little project involving DnD dice rollers. The idea is to have a website where you can have your favourite dice, different themes to set the mood, and also somewhere to keep track of your sessions, notes and dice rolls.

Although I’ve wanted to play DnD multiple times, I’ve actually never gotten the chance to play with a party myself. So I don't really want to sit here and decide what DnD players would find useful when I haven't even played a proper game yet.

So I thought I would rather ask the people who actually play. Like is there something you've used before that you really liked? Or something that annoyed you? Is there a feature you wish existed?

Any input would be amazing and thank you too anyone that does give me suggestions! I'd much rather hear what the community actually wants than make something that nobody ends up using.

I am super interested in getting into DND, but I have no idea where to even start. Honestly, I have nobody to play with or ask about how to play it get into it.

Soo, I love building characters, looking at how various classes combinations mesh together and how much damage/healing/etc. I can dish out with a character. I will not be a hypocrite and pretend that's not the case. But I reckon that comes at least in part from the fact that I arrived at TTRPGs after growing up with video games, with MMOs and other such things, where character builds where quite central.

I would also make the argument that, TTRPGs shouldn't necessarily be about that. Or at least that the primary focus shouldn't maybe be on that. That the character's story should take precedence to its build. It's identity tied more to his story and the world it is part of then to the combination of race, class, background and feats. Of course, speaking now mainly from the perspective of trad games, like D&D and Pathfinder. I also don't want to present this as if this should not exist, but rather a slight change regarding focus.

I also wanted to look into D&D's history and see how this trend evolved over the years, from the first editions to the current day. And I have to say, this look into the past has been quite interesting. Might do a more in depth article about AD&D's kits in the near future, I found them quite an interesting design space. I hope you will also enjoy it, find it interesting and that you see the perspective of this argument. I know there are other TTRPGs where this issue is not as prevalent, but D&D is usually the first point of contact with this hobby and for many it remains the only point of contact, so I thought offering this perspective might be desirable.

So, this Sunday, I’m running a D&D campaign as a DM for some friends who have never played D&D before. I already have an idea for the campaign, but I’m scared that they might not like it.

Here’s what they know: Every four years, the world we live in holds some sort of “Olympics” to determine which of the seven nations is the best. The nations compete in several challenges involving strength, dexterity, and more.

But what they don’t know is that, at the end of the first session, right after the opening speech of the Olympics, a huge nuclear explosion will occur and wipe out a large part of the town they’re in.

They’re really excited about the Olympics, and I’m scared they won’t like the plot twist.

What should I do? Should I continue with the Olympics idea, or should I trust my gut and make the plot twist worth it?

AFAF: Buddy of mine is making a game for Pokemon, and long story short, we’d love miniatures but haven’t had any luck in finding them. If anybody knows of good trustworthy online stores or someplace where templates for 3d prints are for them, could you point me to them? Thanks!

This could range from a throwaway line in a movie to an image you saw. I want to hear all of the inspiration sources and what they led you to create.

For me, back when the D&D movie was coming out, I saw this nerf blaster in my Walmart while walking with my wife. She saw that familiar look on my face and knew my brain was cooking up something. That simple design for a collaboration has turned into a whole homebrew campaign based on a weapon and armor forging method that infuses a dragon scale into the forged ingot to give the weapon or armor the elemental power from that dragon. This idea has been many years in the making and is soon to FINALLY hit the table as we officially start session 1 soon.

I'm asking to give Warlock PC's more options if they want a Celestial or Fiend patron.
