Many newcomers to the game and to r/DnD can find answers there. Note that these links may not work on mobile apps, so you may need to briefly browse the subreddit directly through Reddit.com.

Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

On my train ride home tonight I was browsing interesting-looking D&D stories and was increasingly frustrated by the number of textbrix posts.

I can't muster the effort to visually parse a text monobloc the size of my phone screen, and need an induced eyestrain headache like I need a sharp, persistent pain behind my eyes.

Please, if you have a story to tell and think it worthwhile to type out, have pity on the reader for Crom's and sake break the text into occassional paragraphs.

Doing so will increase the community engagement with your post by a minimum of one (ie me), possibly many more.

I now return you to your TPK in progress.

Just wanted to show off the map I have been working on! 3D printed up a storm for this one.

DM, what part of being a DM would you not like to do? What is the hardest part for you?

For example, I have a big problem with names. I absolutely can't come up with names for NPCs, they always turn out stupid. And it's also hard to remember PC names, I often get them mixed up or want to call them by the player's name

We call them Flaccid 20s

Like the title says, I want to either play or DM so badly, but they messed up my vocal cords in the shop so I can't speak above an unpleasant whisper.

I've been world building, creating characters and basically writing stories for years now. I mostly get my fix through a very heavily modded Skyrim that let's me roleplay just about anything. But lately I've been wanting more but I don't really think it's possible.

I tried to go to a local game shop, and they said they would try to accommodate me, but it didn't really work out. I'm a very small female, and literally don't have a voice to remind them I was there. I wasn't sure I liked the idea of it anyway, since I was inconveniencing the whole table with having to deal with it.

I don't really know what I'm asking for, just hoping someone has some solution I haven't thought of. I've got so much creative nonsense in my head it's gonna explode if I don't get to share it soon.

In the game I'm running ATM, the players have a revenant hunting them down for revenge, and his goal is to kill them all/for them to die. Well, one of the players pitched an interesting idea of how to get rid of him, which was "What if we all died and someone brought us back? Would that stop him?" Basically asking if they could all commit sepuku, and have a contingency in place to bring them back. So is there any kind of ruling on if a revenant can come back?

I created a dungeon, that was more of a super advanced research lab. Was originally used a mindflayer research facility long abandoned. The dungeon had almost no encounters, except one that was at the start. Just because of the atmosphere of it, they characters (well role played by the players) decided, they didn’t like this and was much too terrifying for them and they decided to leave. At first I was bummed out, I put so much thought into this place, but, on second thought, I’m happy it went this way, I must have done a good job and designing it, turning these characters away, and I also appreciate that the players, even though this dungeon was there, felt no pressure to have to “complete it” I was this world to be an open world, I want them to feel like they can go wherever they went whenever they want to, and they did just that.

A few of the local dads on the street and I have a DND group. We invited another dad who would definitely fall into the "nerd" category of life, but has never played any ttrpg whatsoever out to join us in a one shot. Well, needless to say, he had a great time and I'm happy to report we have another dnd player!

I'd also like to add how fortunate I feel to have a local group of guys to play with. There are 4 of us who live on the same street and 2 others in the group who are in town (small town so not far!). We also all get along amazingly well and every guy in the group is funny, kind, thoughtful, fun, we all like craft beer, the list goes on. We are truly lucky to have this group.
