Technical question here for DMs, so when the players roll initiative do I as the DM roll for the monsters individually or just collectively. Meaning let's say there are four goblins, do I roll four times, one for each? Or do I roll once and let them all go based on that turn? What I understood is both ways are used but I’m not sure what are the rules as written or which of the two is widely acceptable and used more often. I personally feel like it might be overwhelming for them all to go in one turn but I want to hear about your experiences and which one of those two methods work best for new timers!

Can DnD be described as a friend group collectively writing a fanfic together about themselves and each-other?
I’ve never had the opportunity to learn/play DnD. But I’m extremely curious about it.

Sorry yall, I'm new to dnd but can the dungeon master make the setting ANYTHING? Like, I can make it into the 1800s England with flying dragons sitting on the buildings when they need to rest? With a Sherlock homes-ey character smoking tobacco on a fricking skyscraper?

Discuss: is it okay to write/draw fanfiction about an NPC in a game you are playing in? What about another PC?

In the tags of a recent reblog you started to go into the lore of your icon, you had me at "Demon who's in a polyamorous relationship with a viking and a witch". So who is your icon? And would you do me the honor of telling me more about their lore?
Child of corruption,
destined to fall
The alchemists daughter
Abandoned and small
Past claimed by flames
And death and destruction
A future of danger
yet heart open and welcome
With lives on the line
Her mind held her tongue
Her lover was lost
When her feelings were young
Doomed to end
Yet others died first
She blackened her soul
To break their curse
Her family reforged
Her love kindled new
Her future in sight
Her drive renewed
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm gonna edit this post on my PC when I get home from work for like layout and more art
Alarë Awarthiel meaning she-who-grows daughter-of-abandon
Later Vanya meaning fair or beautiful which was a name suggested by her witch girlfriend
She is a traditionally beautiful woman, with dark purple skin, long flowing brown hair, leathery wings, cloven hooves and a dump truck of a rack and arse. She underwent a bit of a corrupted transformation and her hands are now distinctly more claw like with glowing infernal tattoos up her arms, she has glowing magenta eyes and a dark scar across her face.
Are you ready for a (heavily condensed) lore drop, because this is a big ol lore drop below the cut.
First a bit of background, in this setting use of magic or "sins" corrupts a soul, functionally this means if you cast too many or too powerful a spell you risk becoming corrupted, or if you go about killing people. Get too corrupted, and you turn into a monster.
No One really knew how tieflings came about but, the were always more vulnerable to corruption and would almost always become monsters when they were in their mid 40s or younger. Usually the transformation would occur due to strong negative emotions. (Alarë was not aware of this curse)
Alarë is a tiefling, on her fathers side, she grew up in a small village where her father was the village alchemist and she took to botany and alchemy readily.
When she was 15, her mum died of a disease and her dad, broken hearted, became a monster. Alarë killed the monster that was her father to protect herself. She then ran away and for 6 years was a travelling alchemist, before heading north to find the origin of her curse and to maybe stop it.
On her journey, she met her two girlfriends
Sigrid arnaulf, city guard, turned eldritch ranger. OC of @rebockey
Sigrid is a muscly boat building warrior who is trying to figure out who/what to listen to and how to find her own voice. (Has very recently, it seems, come into her own)
Sigrid has bright red hair which has been shorn so short on the sides, although she used to have long braided hair and wode markings in various places across her body
The other girlfriend, Oksana Bosko, OC of @primalsavagery
Oksana is the weird, little, witch boy who hangs around and is also a midwife. She is blunt, argumentative and "off-putting" but an excellent medic.
Oksana has shock blond hair which has also be cut away at the sides and has tattoos of the phases of the three moons all across her body. She is also dog.
Together the three of them are founding a witch coven very soon to become the "Sisters of The Shifting Seasons"
So that's the light lore and descriptions now for the story
Alarë came to the forest with this group, she was head over heels for Sigrid pretty instantly, she was strong, kind hearted and friendly. Honestly kryptonit to gaining Alarë's affection,
Oksana was a bit different at first Alarë was afraid of Oksana, she was blunt and unsociable which had been a red flag in the past but eventually she began to see how much Oksana cared about everything and that melted Alarë heart
Oksana was murdered by another member of the party (after Oksana went werewolf and almost killed and definitely infected said party member) and Alarë became so enraged that she struck down the other party member and partially transformed into a monster her hands growing into claws, the markings on her arms in a demonic language appeared and her eyes began to glow.
For several weeks (IRL months) they did the oblivious lesbians thing, and were just pining at one another with moments like "you can share my tent if you aren't comfortable sleeping alone"
Together with the group she went to the home of some necromantic hags hoping to bring oksana back to life, the hags were unable to aid but in the end the barrier between the living world and the dead was broken and be returned Oksana's soul to her body
After her transformation Alarë started calling herself Uvanima, meaning monster, Oksana wasn't particularly happy about that and suggested Vanya instead.
When they reunited with Sigrid, she had been cursed with an uncontrollable desire to drink blood, so the other two stepped up to help her deal with the impulse
"We can let you feed on our blood,
we have a blood letting kit,
it's hot,
I mean,
not a problem"
Shortly after that the three began fucking on Sigrid’s birthday!
Since then they have formed their proto coven (this Wednesday is when it might be official) with Oksana being the medicine witch, Sigrid being the handywitch and Vanya being the homeywitch? (Cooking and keeping the Inn and making potions and stuff)
It's a big ol' chunk of text but I have been the soul of brevity in this description there's so much more to everything.
Thank you for asking and giving me the opportunity to splurge about my blorbo

So I am finally writing a canonverse fic where Raistlin uses a wheelchair.
I headcanon that, like me (and I do think it's really canonically likely from what I know of canon...), Raistlin cannot use a manual wheelchair, so I suppose his chair has to work on magic.
The thing is I know nothing about dnd. And I'd like to find a way for the chair to move without him actively having to move it with magic himself, because it would probably strain him?
Only found manual chairs by tumblr searches "dnd wheelchair" and "dnd magic wheelchair".

TTRPG DM/GM year in review questions.
A follow up to my player year in review questions. Some fun questions for DMs and GMs to answer about their games this year.
What has been the biggest challenge you've faced while DMing/GMing this year?
What are you most proud of doing in one of your games this year?
Has anything that's happened in one of your games surprised you? If so what was it?
Have your games gone the way you expected them to or have they gone a different direction?
What is your favourite encounter you've ran this year?
What has been your favourite roleplay moment at your table this year?
Have you made any homebrew this year? If so what was it?
Without spoilers (in case your party follows you) what is something you are looking forward to DM/GM in your games next year?

As I continue my solo D&D campaign, I’m realizing it’s cheaper to make a healer character than to buy millions of health potions. I can’t decide what class to make this new character though. So… I need the internet to decide for me.

Admittedly, I don't know the first thing about DnD but I've been wondering, if hypothetically, the Dark Urge were to kill Bhaal somehow, would that make them the new God of Murder? or would it be the same deal as Mystra where people would just unable to kill other people or something?

(Because I'm bored)
If your OC's where D&D Classes, what would who be?
I don't play Dnd, but I can try my best to find a class for some of them. Hope you know my OCs by name! Nix would be a Rogue Slivv would be a Wizard Mei would be a Ranger Callie would be a Fighter Jasmine would be a Warlock Cinnamon would be a Druid Brook would be a Barbarian Tisha would be a Cleric And Juniper would be a Paladin It'd be fun to draw them in their respected class outfits at some point, if that's something people would wanna see I may consider it more. Thanks for the questions! I like getting fun stuff like this to answer :>>

Why has no one made the D&D/Pathfinder conditioner markers into like…keychains or window stickers? I, too, would like other players (everyone) to know I am stunned and exhausted.

is there an official 5e spell that can reliably perform an abortion on a willing target? preferably with a casting time no more than a minute, and without room for DM to reject it. i’m not sure if it can be relied upon to count as a curse
