Hello, dear friends. I've been searching up for a board game to play D&D with my BF and friends for a long time already. That brings me to ask y'all if you could give me any recommendation about a kind of D&D table game in particular that's good and nice to both start to play anf enjoy it with quality.

Pls, I need it soon as a birthday gift. Thanks.<3

So I’m looking for a bit of help with my character. I’m in a very roleplay based DnD group. In this group I have a character named Frunkle HumanMan. He’s a gnome stacked on the shoulder of another gnome. They always wear a trench coat and it’s just this funny guy. Anyway, he is a cleric who swears he is a warlock. Given this information, how would I go about this in battles? Any ideas on how to make this play out decently in battle? Like how do I make him feel like a character who thoroughly believes he is a warlock but does cleric magic on accident?

I'm homebrewing a mummified giant as a boss for my game and looking at mummy lords they have bonuses to history and religion. Does anyone make skill checks with monsters? I get stealth or athletics, those happen in combat, but is anyone making History/religion checks with monsters. I'm a new DM and I'm curious how others would handle something liek this.

For those who do not know what isekai is: here

Isekai is probably one of the most popular genre of anime out there, has anyone actually used inspiration from that to run an isekai game?

Did the players feel like they were transported to another world and how did they get there?

Hey, I come from a family of gamers, but I’m the only one with any DnD experience. For my mother’s 60th birthday, I would love to host a „try-out-session“ for my siblings and her. I found many short beginner‘s campaigns online, but I was wondering if anyone has ever done something similar and could recommend a campaign? Thanks!

Hey guys,

I’m m33 and recently started to gain high interest in D&D and I’m trying to find a group that wants to start new or might already plays.

Would appreciate any leads 🙏🏽

Thanks, Hendrik

I'm currently running a highly stylized D&D campaign, and I would like to look for more ideas to implement in. Do any of you have any fun items you've found during your campaigns?

My 13 year old son has joined his school's D&D club. He doesn't yet own any game materials at home and I'd like to get him some for Christmas. Looking to spend $100-$150. I've tried looking independently, but I know nothing about the game and am overwhelmed. Any suggestions appreciated!

Me and a friend are big fans of a lot of video game rpg’s and have both always had an interest in dnd but just haven’t ever gotten around to learning or joining a group.. recently a local comic book shop near me in the UK has advertised spots to come and learn how to play dnd which is great so we’ve both joined up.. basically in just asking what do I need to start with? They’ve said they provide everything and even get a free dice set but I don’t want to turn up unprepared or shall I just leave it up to them and let them tell us what we’ll need in future sessions etc..?

I was invited to play I’ve never played before everyone else has been playing for years. It seems like fun, so I’d like to give it a try but I don’t want to annoy everyone because I have no idea what’s going on. Is it pretty easy to get in to? I literally know almost nothing about how the game is actually played

I was just reading up on liches because I'd like to have one as a kind of hidden creator/benefactor of my main village and the tower style dungeon that looms over it.

My plan is for the final floor to hold the phylactery and if my players figure out that everything was made by a Lich, they can have the option to accept the completion reward from the tower guardian, or destroy the phylactery and the dungeon with it. Most likely the village as well tbh.

My issue is that I want that final floor to have 4 braziers and if they choose to destroy, one lights up. Hinting at 3 other phylacteries to destroy.

I was just wondering if there might be any canon excuse for a Lich having more than one phylactery?

For example, 1 phylactery made of 4 pieces that can be disassembled? In that case I could make it indestructible, but removable and they have to assemble it while the lich attacks them every time it reforms.

I have no problem just making up some bs. But I am curious lol.

[Edit]: while looking them up, I believe I'm going to go with an Archlich, if that makes a difference. I plan to make it either a powerful ally that appears from time to time, or a powerful enemy that harasses them on their journey, depending on how things go lol.

This book set was almost $200 😭

I'm looking to collect the Hard Cover adventures for 5e and while most 2nd-hand books I see are going for like 30 dollars, Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is like almost impossible to find but also so expensive in comparison (averaging 70 dollars 2nd-hand). Any idea why this book is a statistical anomaly?

Simple/noob question, I'm making a new character and just wondering if the oathbreakers gets harness divine power (to restore spell slot) i thought all palidins get this?

With my group (with me as DM) we were at the end of a session and a bar fight happened. (It shouldn't) The wizzard just knock out an anemy with a bottle and gave a signal for the rest of the group to attack with an inpiring shout. The thing is that he rolled a N20 and the whole place, enemies included jump on the fight with euforia, making a whole 20 v 6 situation.

I allowed special skills that my Players make and the assassin decided to make one with alcohol. If he roll more than 17 he gets a rage. Welp, he ditched a N1 and got knocked out the whole fight while the fighter tried, for 4 turns to wake him up. My help character, a passifist child cleric got scared and went behind the bar table with the bar tender. And the paladin, barbarian and wizzard tried to get the whole thing.

The point of this thing is that almost at the end, one of the enemies (an axe user) attacked the barbarian with A NAT 20. the barbarian also get a NAT 20 dodging it, so the axe went to the air being dodge by another guy until it hit the bartender, CHOPPING HIS HEAD OFF, traumatizing the child cleric.

I love this game.
