The Mad Science Artificer can be found on our Patreon along with 17 other subclasses, 5 of them free! Check our bio!

Art by @butturdapple.bsky.social #DnD #DungeonsandDragons
There is a thin line between brilliance and madness, and those that call themselves Artificers walk it often. The descent into Mad Science is paved with good intentions by a desire to fix some unsolvable problem in the world. Whether an Artificer’s ends justify the means, those that practice Mad Science push the envelope of what is physically possible, and what is morally acceptable. Mad Scientist Level 5 Mad Science Feature Your tools are an extension of your mind. When you expend a spell slot to cast an Artificer spell through a tool you are proficient with, you can enhance its effect on one creature. The effect is determined by the tool used in the spell’s casting. Alchemist’s Supplies. When you cast an Abjuration spell, the target gains a bonus equal to your Intelligence modifier on their next saving throw. Leatherworker’s Tools. When you cast a spell that requires Concentration, choose one creature affected by the spell. It gains Temporary Hit Points at the start of each of its turns equal to your Intelligence modifier.

"They say wo heads are better than one, but I've got three total. We can accomplish anything."

Find the Twins Patron Warlock D&D subclass on our Patreon through our bio!

Art by @butturdapple.bsky.social #DnDArt #DungeonsandDragons
The Twins Patron Warlock draws from the magic of a pact made with two powerful beings. Extraplanar entities, such as these, usually share dominion over a place, source of power, or domain. Twin Patrons can have their own agendas but ultimately work together toward a common goal with their Warlock. Twin Empowerment Level 3 Twins Feature After a Long Rest, choose one of the Twins to manifest their power. The twin you choose determines which Warlock features you have access to. Pathos Twin. Whenever you take the Help action to grant Advantage on an ability check, you can give the ally you are assisting an additional 1d6 bonus to the result of the roll. Kairos Twin. Whenever you take the Help action to grant Advantage on an attack roll, you can give the ally you are assisting an additional 1d6 bonus to the result of the roll.

Shout out to the very first person who felt so inspired by one of our Dungeons and Dragons magic items, they actually made it IRL!

Do you have any props you made, or received in a TTRPG game? Share them with us in the comments!
A Tumblr post of a person who made a real life version of a homebrew magic item. It says in the tags "this is so funny i might put it in my campaign. One of my players would LOVE this. ttrpg. dnd." Followed by a repost saying, "I gave one of my players this rock, so I made one of my players this rock." Pictured is a rock painted white with the words "Property of Darb" in purple paint and Darb in glittery gold paint with a gold glittery outline along the rock. Darb’s Shiny RockWondrous Item, rare“A pretty rock! No different than any other rock, really, but this one is pretty.”While holding this rock, if you fail an Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma ability check, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls. This bonus stacks and lasts until you finish a short or long rest, or make a successful attack roll."

Corporations do NOT care about people, not even their employees. People are tools and resources to them, and the whole concept of a C-Suite or Board of Whatevers needs to be deleted.

This whole story here is so heartbreaking and frustrating. I am so sorry this happened to you OP. : (

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.

2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.
Facebook memory. On this day 3 years ago Stella Sacco Nov 15, 2022 I am happy beyond words to say that Riot has told me the job is mine. 289 comments 2 shares

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig
A screenshot of a tweet from Ludwig saying: a couple weeks ago I found out one of my oldest viewers passed away she started following when i had 100 viewers she was super active in chat, funny, and helped turn my goofy dream of being a streamer into a full fledged career she was also trans, and my community was one of the few places she felt comfortable expressing that in so today in her memory im doing a charity stream for the Trevor project ty to anyone who tunes in or donates rip kanabana

Where do you get your homebrew from for TTRPGs like D&D?

Is it just stuff you make yourself? Do you just grab it from social media when you see it? Do you use DriveThruRPG or DMs Guild?

Realizing that I only really use stuff that either makes it to DnDB, or it's just stuff I make myself.

One of our Discord Community Campaign players slew and harvested a Phase Spider (thanks Heliana's!) and made two daggers from them.

This was the second! What kind of Rogue would you make to wield this in D&D? #DungeonsandDragons
A magic item for use in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition tabletop role-playing game. This is a homebrew magic item created by Cloaks & Capes. Phase Fang Dirk Weapon (dagger), uncommon “This fang from a phase spider was carefully tempered and worked into the metal of the blade. Even after surviving the extreme heat of the forge it retains some of the innate magical abilities of the phase spider.” You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Ethereal Jaunt. When you score a Critical Hit with this magic weapon you can teleport to the Ethereal Plane. You remain there for up to 1 minute, at which point you teleport back to the Material Plane. You can also use a Bonus Action on your turn to teleport back to the Material Plane.

What monster would you create a magic item inspired by for your current or last D&D character?

Art by @eotiaxart.bsky.social #DnD #DungeonsandDragons #TTRPG
Shambling Cloak Wondrous Item, very rare “This rare cloak is made from the remains of a shambling mound and though the creature is long dead, the vines of this cloak will slowly and harmlessly twist and slither along the arms, back and neck of the one wearing it.” While wearing this magic item gives you advantage on stealth checks when trying to blend in among plants and other flora. Additionally, you have advantage on grapple checks against medium creatures or smaller. Lightning Absorption. Whenever you are subjected to lightning damage, you take no damage and regain a number of hit points equal to half the lightning damage dealt

Most who have witnessed Wild Magic show it some level of respect, but have you ever wanted that chaos to respect you in return?

Our Fey Royalty Sorcerer subclass for Dungeons & Dragons is free to download! #DnD5e #TTRPG

Fey Royalty Sorcerer, a third party Dungeons and Dragons subclass. The chaotic energies of the fey flow through the veins of Sorcerer’s that come from Fey Royalty. They can see the power in disorder, and control that which was thought to be wild. Chaos becomes their sword. Some use it to make reality bend the knee. Others channel their birthright over the unpredictable for more noble pursuits. Bend the Knee Level 14 Fey Royalty Feature The majesty and regal nature of Fey Royalty is undeniable, and there is power in the respect it commands. Your sorcerous origins can manifest in a magnificent or fearsome manner. As a Magic action, all creatures of your choice within 120 feet that can see you must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC or have the Charmed condition until the end of your next turn. Charmed creatures immediately kneel and must spend their next turn groveling and cannot take any actions or move. Roll on the Wild Magic Surge table, and any creatures that made a successful save are affected by that Wild Magic Surge effect.

👥Sometimes players don’t engage with NPCs right away. Give them a reason too. Have the NPC start asking questions about them.

⁉️ What’s their mission? Where are they from? Why become an Adventure?

Who were some of your favorite NPCs from past campaigns? What made them special?

What is one of your lesser known rules that always surprises people when you point it out in RAW?

As a Rogue main, only being able to use Sneak Attack once per TURN, not per ROUND, means an Opportunity Attack can be done sneakily!
A D&D meme of someone whispering into another person's ear saying, “You can sneak attack again on an opportunity attack.” the next image shows hair standing up on their arm labeled as ‘Rogues’.

I've been letting my players harvest monsters parts lately (thanks Heliana's!) but letting them use the parts to make their own magic items.

What monster has your D&D group slain recently, and what would you make from its parts? #DnD #TTRPG
A magic item for use in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition tabletop role-playing game. This is a homebrew magic item created by Cloaks & Capes. Phase Flame Stiletto Weapon (dagger), uncommon (requires attunement) “A long thin dagger made from grinding a phase spider fang into a fine powder and mixing it with the alloy used to forge the stiletto. The remains of the phase spider gives the metal a cool, bright blue sheen that seems to glow slightly.” You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, and it deals an extra 1d6 Fire damage whenever it hits a creature. Phaselock. When you deal damage to a creature with this magic weapon you can use a Bonus Action to force them to make a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or be teleported to the Ethereal Plane for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, the target repeats the save, returning to the Material Plane on a success. Once used, you cannot use this property again until the next dawn.

For the aesthetics alone, NOT the magic powers, what D&D magic item do you want in real life? And why is it the Space Hamster Poncho?

Art by @butturdapple.bsky.social #DnDArt #DungeonsandDragons
Space Hamster Poncho Wondrous Item, rare “This durable, furry poncho is made to look like the adorable and cuddly space hamster. While it is made from the fur of the beast, it was harvested with care and no space hamsters were hurt in the process.” This magic item gives you resistance to cold damage and advantage on saving throws to resist or recover from exhaustion. Additionally, you have a +5 bonus to Wisdom (survival) checks. You can use an action to cast the enlarge\reduce spell on yourself. Once you cast this spell you cannot cast it again until you finish a long rest.

"Having your own magic turned against you can be frightening. Let me show you."

Find the Aura Thief Rogue D&D Subclass on our Patreon through our link!

Art by @eotiaxart.bsky.social #dndart #dungeonsanddragons
Arcane Extortion Level 17 Aura Thief Feature You’ve learned to siphon a tremendous amount of energy out of items and into yourself, redirecting it into a single, lethal attack. Aura Smite. Using a Bonus Action, after hitting a target with Sneak Attack, you drain one of your attuned magic items of energy and deal extra Force damage based on the rarity of the item. Spelljack. You use a Reaction to steal the magic from a creature you can see, who is casting a spell, and redirect it into a powerful attack. The Aura Thief is a special kind of Rogue that has the ability to touch spells and magical effects as if they were gold coins. They can lift an abjuration spell from a wizard as easily as they could a ring from a countess’s finger. They have the skills to manipulate magic in a way that benefits them and can even share those enhancements with allies.

Don't underestimate the power of adding music to your sessions' GMs. Nothing beats the look on a player's face when ominous music starts up out of nowhere.

I'm a fan of KenkuFM if you play in Discord.

Also, check out @dungeonglitch.com for some great Lofi Tunes! We still use a lot their music!

Here's a simple one that'll make any ranged PC worthy of a few tricks, follow for more throughout the next few days! #DnD
Ring of the Spider Wondrous Item, uncommon “A dark, silver band adorned with a black widow made of onyx and ruby.” You have advantage on initiative checks and cannot be surprised. When you take the move action, difficult terrain costs you no extra movement.

Really, why do D&D players have to look at every golden opportunity as a threat of trauma? :P

Don’t you trust the Dungeon Masters, players?! #dndmemes
A Dungeons & Dragons meme of an anime character holding his hand out as a butterfly comes near him. He is labeled as “D&D players,” and the butterfly is labeled as, “Something good happening for once.” The bottom of the meme says, “Is this more trauma?”
