Finally a forever DM for about 5 years can enjoy the pleasure of playing a PC again! Haven't been looking forward to a new campaign as much as this in a while :D He is a story teller traveling the world and gathering up as many heroic story's as he can, preferably writing his own while at it!

We are playing in the world of Grim Hollow, a relatively dark fantasy and my Bard is trying to bring some colour into it!

One of the best character ideas I came up with this week — a captain soldier clad in armor, ready to lead his men into battle. Inspired by the world of DnD and fantasy adventures.

Lately, I’ve been focusing mostly on elves, orcs, and humans for my character busts. There’s so much variety out there that I’d love to hear your thoughts — what races would you recommend I work on next? Which ones do you think are the most popular or visually appealing?

I just wanted to give a PSA for all the stressed DMs out there. It’s really crazy that this culture has gone the way it has from all of the professional actual plays out there.

I often compare it to the NFL or professional adult videos - that they create a really crazy standard for and entirely different product than what most people are going for in their own games.

You don’t have to be a professional NFL player - before we saw the professionals we didn’t know that were had to agonize over “our players liking our campaign.”

Please give yourself a break, dnd and being a dm should feel like playing Nintendo 64 with your friends as a kid - it’s not stressful just because you are the one with the gaming system.

I hope the culture changes from these crazy standards and “am I good enough” feelings that seem so common for DMs these days.

During the last session of our D&D, I made handouts for my players. While I handed it to my players, they did not open it right away. They turned it over, checked the seal and held it up like it actually mattered. The whole table was quiet for few seconds. That’s the moment I know physical handouts are essential.

Since last year, I have been making simple “parchment” at home using cheap brown paper, printing on it and aging it a bit. Nothing really fancy or expensive but once you put it in an envelope or add a small prop, it starts feeling like an object from the world!

It is honestly one of the best and easiest upgrades to immersion at the table.

I want to give a shoutout to the YouTuber who inspired me to try this in the first place, I started with this tutorial and then I have tweaked it to fit my own game: https://youtu.be/yQEGVhGiXgw?is=gwDaBw4XyuEt8QaJ

I would love to hear if you are also doing similar things or have ideas to push this event further.

My table’s current campaign has been going on for about 6 uninterrupted years, all of us are punctual, we almost never have people missing days, and only ever had one problem player who isn’t part of the table anymore. We’re all very punctual because we all have D&D as a priority in our lives, we’ve been having D&D on the same day, for the same amount of hours, every week, for all of those 6 years. We don’t schedule D&D around our lives, we schedule our lives around D&D. This has led to very few times where a member of the table can’t make it, and they usually inform us before hand (usually with a week advance).

Everyone at the table is very mature and handles things like adults. Most of us are college age or close to it, and our DM is a middle aged guy with a wife who’s been playing D&D for decades. None of them are misogynistic or “nice guys”, and despite the fact that I’m technically the only girl at the table they’ve never made me feel that way. Neither the DM nor the other guys have ever treated me differently or weirdly for being a girl. Not to mention, 3 out of the 4 of them have played characters who are women, not in a weird or sexual way but in a genuine way that makes me forget that it’s a guy playing them.

We’ve only ever had one problem player and he wasn’t even *that* bad compared to some stories here. He just didn’t care enough for the game, didn’t pay attention, and was awful at teamwork. He left the table about a year or two ago though, and ever since it’s been great. We have a great balance of players who enjoy combat and players who enjoy roleplay, and everyone is willing to accommodate other’s preferences and maintain a nice balance of the two.

Although we’ve had some players leave or join over the years, everyone that’s apart of the table has a real passion for D&D and although most of us didn’t start that way, I’d consider all of them my good friends.

Never stop searching, never lower your standards, there’s a perfect table for you out there somewhere. There are people who’ll make you feel welcome, people who will match your energy, people who will make you feel like you belong. I love D&D, and I’m so glad I found my people. I hope all of you reading this do, too.
