  • I never thought we’d branch out of dnd 5e but 2 years later with my table we’ve dabbled in Lancer, Legend of the Five Rings and are looking forward to a Dragon Age game that uses the AGE system. We’ll finish a campaign… someday!

    Plus, someone’s actively looking for a system that’ll simulate managing a “House” ala Game of Thrones and waging a mass battle / war against other Houses. Anybody got a suggestion?














  • I saw your post back at /r/dndmemes too and laughed out loud! 😆 Genuinely regret I can’t upvote/award it now as I’ve always loved OC submissions. People tended to misunderstand the rules and just straight up posted their art. But one that was actually funny and meme-y? They’re the ones that make me keep coming back the sub and mod. 😊

    Anyway, upvoted the ones you submitted here, and us at the former/current mod team are glad you’ve brought attention to this site. They even pinned it on the sub. 😆 (Also a ma’am. Never bothered to correct anybody over there as a big a site as that felt impersonal, but this place still feels small and cozy.)




  • First off, I love your username. I’ve been playing a Githzerai inspired by Dak’kon on and off for the past 2 years and get to say that a lot.

    Anyways, it looks like you’ve got the right idea already about a follower-NPC and that wondrous figurine pet as a reward!

    I’m the opposite in that I’m DM’ing for a large group. But I’ve ran a session where they have had to face a doppelganger of themselves in their minds and the number 1 issue on running 1v1 encounters like that is that they’re going to be screwed if they don’t roll high in initiative. So the tip there is to reroll initiative after every round.

    Next, that’s just for a 1v1 scenario. I’ve only played Mines of Phandelver as a player so I’ve only got a rough idea of the first arc of the adventure, but that 1st goblin ambush is infamous for outright killing level 1 adventurers rules-as-written if they crit. No tips here, but maybe consider adding at least one more NPC for you or your player to control if you’ve got at least 3 goblins. Oh and level them up after that encounter.

    Last, well what happens if your player gets knocked out? It isn’t always the end of the story. The player could wake up in that goblin hideout as a captive and now it’s a prison break!
