How Aster the Joke Sorceror Became a Legendary Savior

This story comes at the end of a campaign played in D&D 5E, a modern recreation of the Isle of the Sea Drake campaign from 1E.

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...

Most chaotic and epic battle i didn’t plan to run.

Quick background. I run a homebrew dnd 5e game with 3 friends and have been playing about 10 months now. We generally follow the rules but I generally lax them if I feel like it will make the game more fun. There was Renarto (paladin) loki (warlock) and Escanor (fighter). Renarto is a knight of...

The breaking of Chains

A copy of the full speech if you want to adjust the wording at all. I have a story to share, one where a character of mine truly hits home for the first time as a veteran player. One of a tiefling character of mine who goes from silver spoon, to nothing, to finding what...

How the Boy from the Sea Fulfilled his Greater Calling

This campaign is actually still ongoing as I write this, but due to moving off to college, I had to leave the group for some time. This story still has pages left in it, so for those of you asking what happened after the events of this tale, I cannot tell you. Additionally, this was...

How the Cleric fooled everyone, even the party

This story begins with myself and a group of friends from various games I've played with over the years. Our DM was a good friend of mind and encouraged out of the box ideas. The world in which we were playing is a soft homebrew world based loosely off a familiar enough campaign idea. However,...

How I created a Cleric so lovable that my party’s main focus became his happiness

So I’m relatively new to DnD as this story takes place right around my 4th campaign ever. For context I’ve only played an outdated artificer, a rogue/fighter multiclass, and just an average full on fighter. I had never made a character that could cast magic. (unless you count the artificer, but all I did was...

Why you dont mess with a Kenku’s favorite person

A few years ago at my local game store, my riends and I were playing a game of 5th addition DND. I was a Kenku rouge sailor. I deliberately avoided using my assassin abilities because, I wanted a reveal. The rest of the party was a cleric of healing, a Loremaster wizard (unearthed arcana), an...
