How we embarked on the BBEG Path and became Death Deacons
My memory is iffy of these stories but in a campaign I’m actually still in, The Lost Mines of Phandelver, we are playing the BBEGs. One character is my Uncle, who we’ll call P, my little brother who we’ll call K, and Me, you get the gist. P is playing an Orc Barbarian, I believe... -
The backstory of ahon ontalols (ahon on-tail-las)
Ahon had grown up in a tribe of nomadic magi, wizards and sages. As a small child we were taught in the art of magic. We worked tirelessly days after day for our whole life. As the son of the chief expectations were high and I filled these expectations. I was always on top mastering... -
Q the rogue
Upon fighting undead in the sewers below an elven magic shop, the party ran into a Lich who kept summoning more and more undead to fight. The Barbarian tank took two very heavy hits and was down to 1 hp, and with no healer in the the party, things were looking grim for the barbarian.... -
How I quickly ended a mini boss fight.
I’m a Dragonborn Barbarian with an 18 in strength, so you can imagine that I’m pretty strong. Me, my brother’s friend, and my brother were playing my brothers campaign when we encountered a Minotaur. My brother, who was the DM and a party member, was a Half-Orc bard, and my brother’s friend was a human... -
How newcomers already ruined a DM’s plan
Me and my IRL friends have always wanted to play DnD but we never knew where to start or how to correctly play. Luckily we have a friend who plays DnD every Thursday, one day when he gets on playstation and starts talking about his session we ask him if he would help us learn... -
That Time I Swarmed my Players with Flying Sirens
I've been Dm-ing for about a year now and I recently had an amazing session that I just had to share. We've been playing this game for a year now and the party's just getting started with the larger story I have planned. Their goal was to make it to the Northern continent... -
How an Aarakocra monk ended his year long search with an execution
This story is from a game where we all play as gladiators at an arena. Umekas had a bad start in life. He was beat by his father and his mother didn't care so he decided to run away. He ended up at a monastery where they cared for him and trained him in self... -
The day my Ranger lost her familiar
I had only played three sessions of dnd before joining a whole new group to play with- one campaign that was stopped immediately after the first session, and then a single session campaign. They were a lot of fun, especially because they were with people I had known for 4+ years. But their lives got... -
The time I almost TPK’ed the party on their second boss
I'm a first time DM, so naturally I'm always unsure about how well I've balanced encounters. Often, I'll adjust the HP of the enemies behind the screen to make them more or less powerful so that my players feel challenged but not overwhelmed or overpowered. Normally, that works pretty well, but I have had a... -
How A Bard Bunny Nearly Derailed the Fledgling DM’s One Shot
This is the story of a forever DM who finally had the chance to be a player for once while his friend took his first foray into DM’ing a game with a one shot. I was playing a changeling bard that the DM allowed to walk around with a permanent disguise form of a rabbitfolk... -
How my group fell apart after one session
At the time of this story, I was the DM for a fairly large group of 10 people. The main characters of this story are Mike, a ranger, Aiden, a CE sorcerer, Reece, a aarakocra paladin, and Aiden a wizard (I think, its been a little while). We are playing Aquisions Incorperated, and they had... -
My Friends Need Lawyers in D&D?!
I was doing my part as the forever DM for my group of friends running a campaign in the Ravnica setting from Magic the Gathering (get the guildmaster book, pretty good story location). Each of us were comfortably familiar with the story and setting so we had no issues with learning what groups did what...
