Order of Dragonblood Ch. 1

Downfall The Infinite Father’s beautifully carved wooden statue on the corner of my table tumbles on to the marble floor as a thunderous roar leaves my ears ringing. The crystalline hourglass in its hand shatters on impact. Blue fragments scatter across the floor. I sit up. I know that sound. This is a dragon. Judging...

Order of Dragonblood Ch. 2

The Lonely Tower Tarander stood up and placed the black book on the small wooden table next to the rough wooden chair he just sat on. He stretched, and flinched, as a sharp pain jolted up his spine. »Aah! By the Souls! «, he exclaimed into the large cylindrical room. Nobody responds, but that did...

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...

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 For context I’ve only played an outdated artificer, a rogue/fighter multiclass, and just an average full on fighter.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.
