From Player to DM: Making the Transition and Mastering Both Sides of the Screen

Dear Readers, Dungeons & Dragons is a game of boundless imagination, where players step into the roles of heroes, embarking on epic quests and facing formidable challenges. At the heart of every D&D campaign is the Dungeon Master (DM), the storyteller who guides the players through the adventure, weaving a narrative tapestry of danger, discovery, and drama. As a player, you’ve experienced the…

"Your 32 persuasion check doesn't mean shit to a 5 ton carnivorous lizard that can breathe lightning who sees you as a home intruder. Now make me a dexterity saving throw."

Falling in love with an outer god

(Just wanted to imagine what it’d look like if Mel took a draconic form in front of Lazuli. I guess it’d be more voidy and nightmarish in game cause of the Fallen Aasimar of the Awful Deep thing, but let’s just say that Mel could also be related to a golden dragon who was also Pelor’s favorite so… 👀 I wanted to try a fairytale/medieval vibe here, kinda happy with how it turned out! Melisande belongs to @the-nothing-maker ❤️)

npcs from my blades in the dark campaign (that i never stop thinking about)

My amazing D&D party gifted me a homemade DM screen for the ending of our 5 year campaign. It's my BBEG lich and the crystals of the game. And I am overwhelmed with how incredible this is. I am truly so blessed.

Screen lovingly and fantastically crafted by @adoradoi

you cannot convince me that a SINGLE ONE of these npcs existed before the moment brennan said they did. those gymnist criminals are 100% dm "fuck i need a guy right now" moment. the 30 year old 80 year old doctor? improv, baby! the cuck pig, 100% new idea on the spot. and i love it.

I had a post a while ago about making sure your dnd character WANTS to be an adventurer a while ago, something else I’ve been thinking about is the importance of making a dnd character that WANTS to be in a group and have some sort of relationship with other PCs. the Group Nature of ttrpgs means lone wolves just aren’t feasible. if you really want to play a lone wolf or antisocial character at the beginning then I highly recommend telling your dm and the others players that you plan on forming bonds along the way and growing out of that mindset. otherwise why are you playing dnd, a group activity that involves cooperation and building relationships? Just Write A Book if you don’t wanna be in a group

[ancrky]

the moment brennan pulled out the real exam questions every dnd player started praying to every god in the universe that their dm wouldn’t find out and do this, and every dm took down a little note

Did I pass?

DM: Roll a nature check. 

Cleric: *rolls* That’s a natural 18, my nature is +8, so 26. 

Artificer: Also I cast guidance on you. 

Cleric: *rolls* That’s a four. 

Artificer: Also I did emboldening bond earlier, so that’s another d4. 

Cleric: *rolls* That’s another 4! 

Artificer: And I’ll add spark of genius to give you another +6. 

Cleric: so all together that’s 40. 

DM: You got a 40 on your nature check?! 

Cleric: Yeah. 

DM: …I hate you guys.

SCREAMING TO THE VOID-

Jrwi Riptide enjoyers!!!! I have looked everywhere for the list of what we know of the pirate code so far- I know it’s at least five- I think

If you know anything please lemme know!!!

Brennan Lee Mulligan is truly a master of both immersive and realistic storytelling because what do you mean he printed out actual physical exams for his the intrepid heroes to take

[arainywriter]

honestly, brennan getting completely fooled by zac is so relatable to me because whenever I DM, all knowledge of dnd leaves my brain except for the basics. like I cannot for the life of me tell you what a spell does when I DM. my player's abilities are unknown to me. I am simply here to be fooled by my players

[hi-intrepid-heroes]

lukas is the most quintessential example of an npc the dm made up on the fly and gave a funny voice but now the party's obsessed with him and he HAS to come everywhere
