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.

Do to a series of chaotic events, my players are going to wind up in "the world between" where every one of "those players." Characters have ended up.

I'm trying to build a pool of pun names and tropes as well as overly tragic backstory stuff for the NPCs

Edit: so posting and then turning my phone off to go to work was apparently a bad idea.... thank you everyone these are all perfect for my Edgelord city and now have a day or so to prep for the session. i am also turning off notifications but thank you guys so much

Howdy folks!

Let's go get that Dragon!

Also, did you know that a 12cm scale Becket figure is coming next week? More details here! Anyway!

Stay excellent out there! Peace and carrots

Hi, I'm playing as a Eldritch Knight, but I don't know if I should choose True Strike for my cantrip.

True Strike make my weapon attack using my Int, but I can only attack one time since it's a magic action. So I think it will be useless when I got level 5.

What do you guys think?

is there any spells you can use as a spellsword in dnd that summon weapons to you depending on the variant of spell cast like bound sword bringing you a spectral sword or spear etc? i think it would be cool to have a mage that can summon spectral weapons?

Writing about an important rival for one of my pc's; but I'm a bit worried. Is this gonna be fun and challenging? or just plain not fun and unfair?

Some examples of the rival's kit include: Earthbind and Heat Metal (the pc is a flying character with heavy armor on)

Hello everyone! I'm fairly new to DnD, I've played a little before, but I've only recently gotten back into it with friends and I'm having a grand time of it. However, the main issue I feel like I'm having personally is that I keep freezing up during role play moments, especially when it pertains to decisions relating to my character. I just can't think of what to say or do in the moment and the opportunity to act passes me by. This is usually coupled by the fact that I'm a soft spoken person out of character as well, so I have difficulties saying that I would want to have added something in a scene when everyone else has already spoken.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's experienced this, so I beg you all... help!!! What tips have you used to get better at roleplaying in the moment? How do you get over that freeze response??? I feel like sometimes the game just moves too quick for me and I can't consider how my character would properly act while considering their lore etc but is this just something you get better at over time? Do I just need to learn to "butt in"??? Any input would help!

Hey there, I’m a brand new dm who played my first session a week ago which me and my 2 friends all enjoyed. One problem that I saw was that my human wizard simply wasn’t contributing at all, he said only a few sentences to me and the other player to the point that both of the players didn’t know each others characters names until the halfway point of the first session, didn’t really role play, ignored a lot of plot points and just kinda sat there for the whole session. Another thing about his character is that it is extremely bland, not in a way that there is a story but it’s boring, I mean his characters backstory is about a sentence describing him as a disgruntled wizard who got fired from a fictional subway xD. Compared to my human rogue, who has a magical pet duck who only he can hear who is extremely vulgar all the time, has a tragic but intresting backstory, and actually caught the plot hooks and played his character, I feel like I can’t help but give the rogue the spotlight. I seriously have no idea what to do with the wizards story, I tried to establish a revenge story with him but he just stared at me blankly before going back to his bland character, I have even texted him about a week ago to try help him establish a deeper lore to his character by showing him a pantheon on gods I created whilst further explaining what he can actually do with his character but I have been left on delivered for a week. Our next session is a week from now and if I’m honest? I’m subtly dreading it, they are both my friends and I want them to enjoy the game but can’t help but lean towards the rogues story considering he’s the only person that has one. Any help would be great, thanks!

Hello,

I'm running Phandelver and Bellow, and my PCs had the idea to enlarge their bag of holding and put 3 obelisk shards (MacGuffins) inside.

However, those shards are eavy, and the bag was already full of things. So, a natural thing happened. All their items, including the shard were send to the astral plane.

Now I need to set up a few sessions in the astral plane, and I know almost nothing on it, except there are Giths Somewhere, and flying boats.

Can someone give me some advices ? Maybe a piece of an existing adventure that I could twist.

Thanks in advance

Be it two members or a full team, I'm curious if anyone else loves seeing other party members play certain classes/builds so you can combo off of each other. Things like combining spells, abilities, or whatever, so that you can work together and create cool moments as a team.

Personally when I see a barbarian in the team, I adore casting Heroism on them turning them into an unkillable wall, especially if I'm playing a Paladin and can use my interception fighting style to aid them. Rage + Regenerating Temp HP + Damage reduction = Raid Boss Barbarian

Or even simple things like Hold Person and Rogue Sneak Attack / Paladin smite. Seeing my teammates get hyped up when they land that brutal blow is just a treat.

I turn it over to you, whats some combos and synergies your parties have pulled off, or have you dreamed of pulling off? No matter how strong, or silly. I wanna hear it.

I have found myself at an impasse while coming up with a character. See, I felt like playing a big ol snake person, my only issue is that, the more snakelike a Yuan-ti PC is, the harder to justify them not being evil is as well (especially when my brain is saying "You should play an abomination", just looking for any suggestions that might make it work better. Thanks!
