This map is supposed to be a noble's mansion. And it'll be a homebrew oneshot similar to the movie Ready or Not, where the players will hide from their fiend cultist hosts, unarmed/unarmoured they have five rounds (30 seconds) before the hunt begins.

Scattered throughout the mansion are both magic and cursed items they can pick up, and their own gear are hidden as well.

​

I feel like I'm overestimating my capabilities just cuz I had an idea for a oneshot. I volunteered to do it cuz theres no DM around (the ex-DM moved states). And idk if I'll just get laughed at this attempt at making a map (i got no money for actual professionally made maps and no access to printers).

​

I ended up with this thing I drew (and i got zero skills) and now I'm second guessing, if I should just stick to smaller ideas. Like two or three linear dungeons.

This is a commission I did for R07_02_027 and this is some of the description provided by my client

Moak is basically a sentient tree person who woke up alone in a forest with no idea where he came from or even what he was. He spent years wandering around, learning from animals and trying (usually unsuccessfully) to interact with people. Most humans either avoided him or treated him like some strange creature, which left him pretty confused about where he fit into the world.

Things changed when he met Clif, a blind wandering monk who was the first person to treat him like an actual person. Clif taught him martial arts, told him about the world outside the forest, and eventually gave him the name Moak. After Clif was killed protecting him from a group of assassins, Moak left the forest and started traveling.

Right now he’s trying to figure out who created him, find the monastery Clif came from, and generally understand people and society. He’s curious, a bit naïve, and still learning how the world works, but if he cares about someone or something he’ll protect it without a second thought.

Hi, could someone pls help! I’m a new DM, with new players, and none of them seem to want to put any kind of commitment into it, like whatsoever. None of the players are even able to do a session 0. They don’t even seem to want to do a half an hour phone call to organise their characters. They just want it to be super simple, no commitment from them. I have made it clear to them that this would be the only out of game commitment they would need to make and they are just super against it for some reason.

Do I keep on pushing it? Do I give up and find new players? I’m very aware of not breaking bridges so I’ve tried to be as flexible as possible, yet still they seem to cling on to their preconceptions. Help!

It's so silly and poorly made, I love it. I asked my DM and he just sighted and said fine so it was aproved beforehand, let's see how it goes.

Apparently this needs a body of 400 caracters, so, his name is AkuKaerta, he was a soldier exiled from his tribe some time ago because he euthanized his sick sister that couldn't be cured. So he walked to a town far away and met an NPC that teached him to steal and conected to the thieves guild, I'm not sure where my DM will set us up so it is possible that I'm still in the guild and stuff or that was some time ago and now I'm some other place.

Wish me luck, hope I like the game.

Hi there! I'd really appreciate your opinions on your favorite video games that give you that Dungeons & Dragons feel.

They can be from any genre, and they don't have to follow DnD rules directly. They just have to be outstanding and your personal favorites.

Thanks a lot for sharing!

And we arrived in this rocky, desert valley.
We were prepared, we knew whose presence we would face, and it was the only way to enlighten our minds.
Many of us trembled, thinking it would be the last sun they would see, but my faith guided me; I would not be the sacrifice.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a gust of wind raised the dust covering the rocks. A blaze engulfed us, burning away all the impurities.

There were only three of us left, and when the fire died down, he stood before us, immense and ready to utter his dogma.

I feel like I’ve hit a bit of a dead end in my D&D campaign and would appreciate some outside thoughts.

​

One of our friends is leaving the country soon, so he won’t be playing with us anymore. In tonight’s session, we faced a dragon, and it became apparent very quickly that he had planned some kind of heroic final moment where he would sacrifice himself to kill the dragon and save the party.

​

The problem is, he has never really been that invested in the campaign. He has missed months at a time before, and when he does play, he often seems like he is trying to leave at the earliest opportunity. So this big heroic exit didn’t really feel earned to me.

​

What made it worse is that his suicide attack also killed my character.

​

I’m not going to lie, I was livid. It felt cheap and dumb, especially because we had the dragon almost beaten anyway. It didn’t feel like this grand sacrifice was actually needed. Instead, it felt like my character got killed as collateral damage in someone else’s self-created farewell moment.

​

The DM then made part of the dragon’s loot a scroll of resurrection, which was used on my character and succeeded. But honestly, that also felt cheap. It fixed the mechanical problem, but not the way I felt about the situation.

​

So now I’m in this weird place where my character is technically alive, but I’m still unhappy with the outcome. I’m annoyed at my friend for getting my character killed, and I’m also annoyed at the DM for solving it with what felt like a very convenient resurrection scroll.

​

At this point, I feel like I’ve lost motivation. Maybe motivation to play this character, and possibly even motivation to keep playing D&D with this group.

​

Am I overreacting here? How would you handle this as a player or DM?

Edit: I'll add for context, this is my first year playing and my first character. I have no experience in this situation thus my thinking in asking the community. Appreciate everyone's comments.

Edit 2: very much appreciate everyone's comments coming in. A couple who suggest that D&D isn't for me. This isn't true. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting into the game but, as previously stated, it is something new to me. I'm sure we've all had moments we've struggled with when playing.

To add some further context, the "heroic moment" was an orb that he had acquired in an outside discussion with the DM that unleashed fire and necrotic damage within 20ft causing 75 of each damage type to anyone that failed the save. This also destroyed everything I owned with the exception of any magic items, my Bag of Holding was swiftly looted by the one surviving member of the party.

Now just as a prerequisite i would like to say we are all new to DND (This is my first campaign). and our DM has only been a dm for 1 other group. Also we are all friends outside of the game so there is no real animosity against each other. Additionally we are doing a one piece campaign so there's some fun custom races and devilfruits as well.

We all play level 5 characters.

I'm a human deadeye gunslinger with a sniper rifle.

Another party member is a human battle smith artificer.

Another player is a mink way of the open hand monk.

and finally and most importantly we have our only spellcaster, a human moon bard.

A few months ago the bard got a very interesting magic item, I didn't bother reading it until recently (I don't think he looked at it much either honestly.) the magic item works as follows:

"This pen requires no ink to write and writes in whatever color the user desires but defaults to a fiery red. This pen transforms to meet the user's needs. You can use this pen to write on anything you consider a surface. You decide whether the writing is visible or invisible. While holding this pen, you can cast illusory script at will.

This pen has 5 ink cartridges filled with your spell energy that refill on a long rest, these cartridges can be used to invoke additional special abilities that this pen has. Using a bonus action you can sacrifice a spell slot to refill the ink cartridges, 1 cartridge per spell slot level.

As a reaction when you cast a spell you can use this pen to modify your bard spells in the following manner:

Scordatura: By using 1 ink cartridge you can increase the hit bonus or save dc of a spell by 2 and cause any damage caused to ignore resistances. You can also use more that 1 ink cartridge to increase the hit bonus and save dc by 1 per cartridge.

Eco: By using 1 ink cartridge you can modify all spells that have a duration of at least 1 minute are doubled and don't require concentration if they previously did. You can use more than 1 ink cartridge to continue doubling the duration.

Doppio Movimento: By using 2 ink cartridges you can cast 2 spells of the same level in the same motion, if you want to use spells of different levels you can upcast the spells as necessary to match the other, this can be the same spell twice or 2 different spells. You can use 3 ink cartridges to cast these spells with only 1 spell slot, this only applies if you are casting 2 of the same spell."

Now, ignore everything else in there look at Eco for a second. "By using 1 ink cartridge you can modify all spells that have a duration of at least 1 minute are doubled and don't require concentration if they previously did." No concentration on a spell? up to 5 times per long rest? I mean I know we're all new to DND and all... But really what the hell was our DM thinking when he made that? he currently has hypnotic pattern and hold person. With this pen he can:

-Make his hypnotic pattern a DC 22 save to instantly win an encounter

-Repeatedly cast hold person or hypnotic pattern with no worrying about maintaining concentration.

-Use 3 ink cartridges to double cast a spell only using one spell slot, forcing multiple effects on a creature all at once or basically doing double damage with a spell.

-Remove concentration on a spell and increase its duration by 5 times.

-Ignore resistances

And before you ask in the comments, no this most likely was not intentional. Considering my gun used to do 2d10 damage and he found it too overpowered and nerfed it back down to 2d8 (After I killed a mini boss in 1 turn), I doubt he would ever allow something of this power to exist if he knew about it. He likely made the magic item when he had just started DMing and had forgot about a few of its features.
