I’ve been running various TTRPG’s for about a decade give or take. Usually 5e, but I’ve also run Cyberpunk, Star Wars, and other bigger franchise games. But after looking at this sub, I’m certain that I’m not getting the right experience. Here’s what I mean.

- I have three players. They have the audacity to show up every single week on time. One of them even shows up 15 minutes early, the nerve. And get this. When they do (rarely) cancel, I almost always have at least two days notice. Awful!

- We talk socially for about an hour or so, and then they will lock in for the rest of the night? Like I don’t get it.

- Sometimes, they even chip in for pizza together and refuse to let me buy? Aren’t they supposed to suck away every resource I have as a DM?

-They constantly are making these beautiful but simple back stories, and always leave enough room in them for me to give them cool quests and stories. Ridiculous.

- None of them make awfully racist/sexist/homophobic jokes? I thought that D&D was a tale of being your worst self because it’s just a game?

- Last week I made the wrong call on a rule, and apologized to the player it affected after by text. Get this, he said “no problem, I know you have a lot to handle as a DM, but thanks for letting me know”. Like??? Where’s the drama???

Can someone help me figure this out? What can I do to find the ACTUAL D&D experience.

u/Sork_Daul

Our dm ran the most debuffed deathouse possible, we barely survived:

Actual deaths: 1

Almost deaths: 3

Healing spells total available to us: 3 (THREE)

People who turned into werewolves who didn't know they were a werewolf: 1

People parts that were looted or taken with us: at least 60 (lots of fingers!)

Pleads to the dm: ♾️

At the very last fight the dm told us that our party is weak af and that we have to lock in to survive to barovia 😭

We have two very squishy spellcasters (the two kids who are a mage and a warlock) an assassin who only survived bc he is as slippery as soap, and a cleric, who died in a trapdoor filled with spikes before he could heal anyone

(Our mage stole the orb that controlled the ghosts in the strahd statue room)

First off, the winner of last week's giveaway: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/1vuf3ov

Congratulations, u/Lives2DieAgain, and happy birthday to boot! I'll be reaching out to you to get the necessary information to fulfill this giveaway.

A little while ago, I came out with the Magical Code of Regulations, 500 pages of law governing the use of magic. It started as a fun little project while I was working as an auditor at the IRS, and turned into a whole worldbuilding project I don't think I'll ever truly stop. It has laws governing everything ranging from necromancy, magical conservation easements, and familiars, to dragons, fireballs, and Chosen Ones. Great for D&D players and DMs, lawyers, accountants, worldbuilders, fantasy writers, and people that just want a really cool coffee table book. I promise it is the most in-depth magical law you've ever read.

Here's what some people have had to say about it:

"An unnecessarily comprehensive and deeply inconvenient framework. Several of my longstanding plans now require prior authorization." -Glorgon the Destroyer, Antagonistic Entity of Prophetic Significance #33

"Clear, thorough, and appropriately burdensome. I have no notes, though I will be requesting additional documentation." -Arthur B. Wexler, Senior Auditor, Department of Magical Affairs

Since release, I've made over 4,500 sales, this book is #1 on IngramSpark in fantasy over the last 60 days (for you booksellers looking for a cool book for your store), and will even have an officially licensed Chinese edition on the way (more details to come later)!

As a way to give back a bit, I will be giving away one signed copy of my book with a free digital version, a customizable authorized spellcaster license, a few stickers and a bookmark, and a no-change audit letter. All you have to do to enter is comment below! The winner will be selected randomly on 9/4 using redditraffler, with only caveat being that your account must be at least 3 months old.

I appreciate all the support I've gotten from this community and others over the past couple of years, and if you'd like to support this project independent of this giveaway, you can find the Code at the following links:

Amazon (preferred): https://www.amazon.com/Magical-Code-Regulations-Spellcasting-Regulation/dp/B0GZF9PVQL/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0

NOTE: If the shipping seems extremely expensive, you may need to go to your country's storefront. If you live in the EU and your country doesn't have one, Germany (amazon.de) is usually best. I'll try my best to find options for anyone that has trouble getting it!

DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com//product/566282/the-magical-code-of-regulations?affiliate_id=5121378

If you're still not convinced, and wanted a sneak-peek, Questing Beast made a great video on it!

If you're still not convinced, know that the second edition will make ownership of the MCOR compulsory, so you might as well give in now.

On another note, a couple of weeks ago I asked you guys what I should work on for my next project. The winner was overwhelmingly a magic physiology textbook. I used to be obsessed with studying physiology, and read Costanzo and Klabunde over and over again. If anyone is interested what it might look like, here's a quick preview (early draft, of course):

Anyways, good luck everyone, and can't wait to see who the winners are!

I wanted to share one of my latest D&D commissions here

He's a Dungeons and Dragons (and Baldur's Gate 3) character, a Paladin who is also a musician.
As for weapons and items, he carries a rapier and usually has his flute nearby.
Personality is humble and a bit shy and unsure of himself, but helpful, affectionate and caring, gentle, but brave when it counts.

I’ve been having a lot of fun working on fantasy and TTRPG characters lately, especially pieces where I can push expressive designs, fun silhouettes, and lots of little details in the outfit and props.

I’m currently open for commissions if anyone is looking for character art, party illustrations, creatures, or other fantasy/TTRPG pieces, feel free to send me a DM!

What happens when the battle that saved a town becomes the curse that keeps it abandoned?

We teamed up with Beyond the Screen for One More for the Road, a fantasy 5e adventure from their Book of Spirits. Beyond the Screen wrote the adventure, while Mammoth Factory created the full 3D printable STL miniature collection to bring its spirit realm encounters to life at the table.

In this adventure, the party joins Khivar Bullhammer, an elderly retired adventurer, on one final quest to reclaim his people’s lost home. But the heroic victory that once saved Khidra has left something behind: a supernatural battlefield loop, ghostly warriors, and emotion-born spirits that still echo through the Valley of Ghosts.

👻 5 lucky adventurers will win the full PDF + STL bundle, including the complete One More for the Road 5e adventure and the full Mammoth Factory miniature collection.

Use the Ghostly Warriors as spectral soldiers, battlefield echoes, cursed guards, or the remains of an old war that refuses to end. Bring Khivar Bullhammer to the table as an old adventurer on one last mission, and fill your encounters with animar: emotion spirits shaped by valor, affection, admiration, unity, love, vigilance, amazement, mercy, alertness, and more.

The collection also includes a massive Valor Animar spirit lion, perfect as a celestial guardian, mythical beast ally, legendary summon, sphinx-like protector, spirit realm boss, or unforgettable D&D centerpiece.

Perfect for haunted battlefields, cursed valleys, ghost armies, ruined strongholds, spirit realm encounters, old adventurers, heroic last stands, supernatural mysteries, and story-driven D&D sessions where victory may have left a wound behind.

If Lady Luck does not favor you this time, you can still grab the collection on Patreon or Tribes for 80% off, August only.

BONUS: Sign up for our Fateless Kickstarter newsletter and get The Real Boy 5e adventure PDF for free!

You’re getting the complete One More for the Road adventure PDF, the full STL collection, unique monsters, NPCs, and everything needed to bring its haunted battlefield encounters to your table.

Whipped up a bit of art for one of my favourite BBEGs.

King Mathra was once a noble king descended from the ancient Faery Wives, whose devotion to his country drove him deeper and deeper into desperation. He succumbed to fury and entered a warp spasm, his body becoming wolfish and frantic, his armour melting into a bestial shape.

Inspired by werewolf mythology, Irish folklore, and the myths of Cu Chulainn.

Here is my current work in progress globe of my homebrew world. To make this, I repurposed an old globe I found on ebay, removed it from its stand, spray primed it a flat white, and then I drew out all of my continents and how they would fit on the world together.

For painting, I started with the oceans, with deep dark blues, and progressively getting lighter as the waters became more shallow closer to shore. Browns and greys were used for the large mountain ranges, capped off with white for the high snowy peaks. The fields and forrests are blends and layers of 3 different shades of green. They desert is an under layer of orange, then a cream orange blend, and then a thin dry brushing of just cream on top of that. For the transitional areas of savannah, I over layed the lighter green tones over the desert edges and then works on blending where that area meets the green fields and forrests.

I will post more of the other continents as well.

Just started a new campaign with some friends and on their travels they encountered a discount magic merchant named "Truthful Terry." Now, as you may expect, he was trying to sell them bs magic items such as The Deck of Many Cards (which is just two decks of cards shuffled together). However, he did have a bag of holding, which they bought. After buying it, they did find a dagger inside which wasn't there originally as well as hearing a very faint voice from inside. You may see where this is going.

Now, I am fairly certain none of them know what the Bag Man is, or at least couldn't remember it during the session, but they are thoroughly convinced that there is a terrifying creature inside and want nothing to do with it. They even put in their session notes, "something is inside the bag of holding."

Is there any way I can get them off this train of thought so I can bagman them? I doubt not mentioning it at all would make them forget.
(Reposted from R/dmadvice)

EDIT: I should have clarified before, I don't think I can use it as just another combat encounter like I originally intended, but I do still want to do something with it. Doesn't necessarily have to be a threat or danger to them, more so just want a way to still incorporate this.
