Dungeon Master - Blog Posts
I DM'd for the first time today and it was so freaking fun! I didn't know what I was doing! I was coming up with a plot that's going to extend into other sessions on the fly! I did the voices! I'm coming up with a history for these NPCs! This is amazing!
EDDIE MUNSON APPRECIATION WEEK Day 1: Favorite Scene ⬩ The Cult of Vecna campaign
That’s why we play!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAVE FUN IN THE MINIBOSS PLAYERS
I HAD SO MUCH FUN BUILDING THIS
Nowhere the beloved!!! My most recent DnD character :D
Nowhere! My current DND character :)
A tielfing Fighter with a funky magic tattoo and familiar
Long time no see huh? I am so horrible at posting, but may try to start again!!
Dungeons and Dragons: Pathfinder
My brother has been play DnD for a very long time and I’ve finally been able to create a character of my own to play too.
I am a Halfling Druid/Ranger (for his DM world we start at level 5) with a Direfox companion.
I may post her stuff here or even make another side blog for her depending on how often I get to work with her.
I’ve also made a DDO account so if anyone wants we could work together.
:/ I need friends
Ok, just had our second session and notes:
One of them figured out they were trapped in Ground Hog day (it was our teacher). I introduced Xenk’s husband and daughter (Obviously it was Edgin and Kira). They finally realised that Snail (creepy dude), was apart of a cult. AND ELL’BEROS MADE 20 TACOS IN 5 MINUTES. and way more shit.
I am currently DMing a campaign for a school club, and I’ve made the villain a creepy ass cult (they haven’t figured it out, even though they were offered 200goldpieces each), and I decided to put Xenk the paladin in session one (and made he more queercoded), and THEY FUCKING FOUND HIM SUSPICIOUS!!! Bro, he’s just autistic and traumatised.

Nethys in Exandria...
Hey critters, i am thiking of switching to matt's campaign setting. And one of my players is a follower of Nethys. So i am looking for ideas on how to bring that over, i have a few but I'd like other thoughts on it.
A really rough first time drawing Sir Dagon Draco of the Eagle Knights of Andoran, for my First game DMing.
First time dming/gming
So i have a little starter /one shot planned and i really want to do goblins who worship werewolves, that have been attacking merchant wagons. They have taken hostages to turn to werewolves them selves. Depending on how the players do of course. The chief of the goblins is a gobiln werewolf, my question to other DMs is... is that possibly a thing or even able to happen?
Here Is a List of Races and Backgrounds for my DnD game. Still working on Class’s
Working on a New D&D race...
the race is a mix of Teifling, Vampire, and a Demon. Now trying to balance this beast is crazy hard. Once i have it done I will up load it for yous guys.
Seal Of The Nine, Nine worlds all tied together by magic.
This is apart of my DnD campaign Idea
“If you live long enough, you see the same eyes in different people”
my dnd and ttrpg chatacters that i've played or am currently playing, they mean so much to me
about them
CeCe (they/them, elf ranger) is my first ever character, it's more like an npc actually but i've grown too much attached to them.
Vajra (she/her human paladin) is a lightning goddess' paladin, and she's in love with her.
K'riss (she/they chriss engeneer and jedi guardian) is an ex criminal turned jedi apprentice.
Kael (any, changeling warlock) is a stupid warlock who's mom is possibly a demon, and wont admit they're in love.
Reggie (he/him, loner weirdo) is a emo kid who's not afraid to face danger,
I know it’s been a while, but here is a new name tag. It’s been forever since I’ve done a name tag so I couldn’t resist. It’s my friends birthday and they love dungeons and dragons, always the DM too. So why not make them a name tag? Hope you guys think it’s as cool as me.
Have something my old dm said, and if you would like too, guess if he said this as a character or as himself.
"Are you going to scream, or am I going to have to scream for you."
Sometimes I rattle this campaign around in my head for a little while for entertainment.
i think it would be pretty sexy of you all to let your dungeon master play one of the many pcs that they’ve made despite knowing they’ll never be able to use them
Atlas is a reserved fey who has a record of every written thing in a massive library he protects. To them, the more words the better. Their little sister (haven't quite landed on a name ;-;) prefers story books, and loves to hide and cause trouble for her brother. Atlas uses He/They, and their little sister uses She/Her. Dnd NPC concepts from a while back. Definitely need a redesign but i still think they work.
I have made an archive blog for Dungeon Master Inspiration!
Are you a Dungeon Master? Do you run a fantasy ttpprpg in D&D 5e or Pathfinder 1e/2e? Or maybe the new Daggerheart or the MCDM rpg? Either way - I made this fantasy archive blog for Dungeon Master inspiration where I reblog all of the cool stuff that I happen to stumble upon here on tumblr. Maybe you will find it useful! It is easier to know if you check it out ;)
dungeons and dragons be like
Did a quick follow up sketch of our DM, who is honestly trying her best
"What the fuck did you cretins do this time..."
Tumblr munched the image, sorry. :(
Minor sickness in D&D
Note: this is specifically written for D&D 5E.
The illnesses in the DMG mostly seem to be written as a hazard for the PCs, or a way to legally screw them over if they fail an ill-timed Constitution save. However, sickness in real life is more than that, as exhibited by everyone who’s ever gotten a cold. And as I am currently sick, I felt ideally suited to write about this.
Sickness comes in a lot of different forms, and even the exact same condition can have different symptoms depending on the day. If everything given here applies to a character, then that character is having a VERY bad time and should probably just have stayed home and rested and not gone adventuring. If it’s just one or two things though, that would be someone who’s slightly sick but “I’m fine it’s not that bad I can still go and fight”.
You’re not required to select everything listed under a symptom. They’re all different ways in which something might be expressed, and some are more intense than others.
Everything here is intended to be optional, like if you want to play as someone who is kind of sick, or have an NPC with a cold, or even as a mild curse on a magic item.
BODY ACHES: everything hurts from the neck down.
You have disadvantage on all Acrobatics and Athletics checks.
Every hour, make a DC 12 Constitution save. On a failure, if you are wearing armour or heavy clothing, you gain a level of exhaustion until you take it off; if you are not wearing armour or heavy clothing, you gain a level of exhaustion until you put some on. Note that this does not grant proficiency with any armour, nor remove any armour-related restrictions.
COUGHING: we all know and hate it.
You have disadvantage on Stealth checks that require you to be quiet. In an area of magical silence, or in a noisy environment, for example, this penalty does not apply.
Whenever you attempt to cast a spell with a verbal component, make a DC 10 Concentration check. On a failure, you are unable to properly perform the verbal component due to coughing; the action taken to cast the spell is wasted, but the spell slot is not used.
DECREASED IMMUNE SYSTEM: as if being sick wasn’t bad enough, now you’re more likely to get even more sick.
You have disadvantage on Constitution saves against contracting a disease or suffering the poisoned condition.
DISTORTED APPETITE: you need to eat, but it’s hard to eat.
Any time you attempt to eat or drink something, it has a 25% chance to seem utterly disgusting to you, and require a DC 12 Wisdom save to actually eat or drink it.
Unless you succeed on a DC 10 Constitution save, you can only ingest half the normal amount of food per day; anything more than that gets brought back up. Note that this does not change how much food you actually require.
EARS CLOGGED UP: how are ears even connected to the nose and throat, it just seems unfair.
You have disadvantage on Perception checks that rely on hearing.
You take a -2 penalty on any skill checks that require producing or hearing music.
FOGGY BRAIN: it’s hard to think when your head feels like it’s full of cotton.
You have disadvantage on all ability checks to recall information.
You have disadvantage on all ability checks to learn new information.
Your passive Perception is treated as 5 lower than usual.
If you succeed in your saving throw against an effect that would induce the charmed or frightened conditions, and which has no effect on a successful save, you don’t even notice. Unless the caster was very obvious about directing the spell at you, you have no idea that you were a target.
GENERAL BLAHS: uuuugghh.
You take a -1 penalty to all skill checks.
You take a -1 penalty to all attack rolls.
You take a -1 penalty to all saving throws.
LETHARGY: you wish you’d stayed in bed, and you probably should have stayed in bed.
Your speed is reduced by 5 feet.
You have disadvantage on saves against effects that would restrain you or render you unconscious.
Whenever you take a short rest, make a DC 10 Wisdom save. On a failure, you doze off and are unable to perform any other actions during that short rest, and can only spend one hit dice to recover.
You have disadvantage on initiative rolls.
RUINED VOICE: after extended bouts of intense coughing, you can barely speak.
You can’t verbally communicate with anyone farther than ten feet from you.
Any Performances checks to sing are both at disadvantage and have a -5 penalty.
Social checks that would involve speaking are made at disadvantage, due to how your voice sounds and/or your unfamiliarity at communicating without normal speech.
Whenever you attempt to cast a spell with a verbal component, roll a spellcasting ability check, against a DC of 8 + the spell’s level (cantrips count as zero-level). On a failure, you can’t get the magic to accept words formed with your wrecked voice, and the action used to cast the spell is wasted (but the spell slot is not used up).
Your voice is unrecognizable. You need alternate methods to confirm your identity. However, if you’re trying to pass yourself off as a different person to someone who only has your voice to go off of, you automatically succeed if they have no reason to be suspicious, and you have advantage on the Deception check otherwise.
STUFFED NOSE: if nothing can get in through your nose, it doesn’t seem right that so much mucus can come out from your nose.
You can’t smell anything. You automatically fail Perception or Investigation checks relying on scent.
You cannot breathe through your nose. If your mouth is covered, you risk suffocating.
Your voice sounds weird when N comes out as D and M comes out as B and other sounds are likewise distorted. You have a -2 penalty on verbal Persuasion, Deception, and Intimidation checks, as people have a hard time taking you seriously.
TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS: you feel too hot, and then you feel too cold, and then you feel too hot….
You have disadvantages on saves against the effects of extreme heat or cold.
The only way you’ve found to stay comfortable is with an awkward and constricting array of blankets. You have disadvantage on all Dexterity-based skill checks and Dexterity saves. If you choose to not wear the blankets, you instead have disadvantage on attack rolls and on skill checks that take more than a single action to complete.
WATERY EYES: you legitimately are not crying from pain, but nobody will believe you on that.
You have disadvantage on Perception checks relying on sight.
You have disadvantage on Intimidation checks against someone who can see your eyes.
((Also posted on Pillowfort, here.))
any derivative of “adventure”, “quest”, “mission”, and/or “job”.
A normal D&D session, but you can't use...
If you've played DND...
Yeah.
Blood loss? No I know exactly where it is
