Always a good rule of thumb.

Always a good rule of thumb.
Dungeons should feel dangerous—places that inspire a healthy dose of fear when players send their characters inside. Survival should never be guaranteed. In the immortal words of The Eagles: “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”

Numerous hidden ranger outposts exist throughout the Vesve, operating independently or loosely coordinated with Highfolk and Veluna. Their positions are intentionally obscured to counteract humanoid incursions and are not publicly charted.

Quick Review: If you like dragons and adventure anthologies, Dragon Delves delivers. Easy to run, flexible, and varied enough for most tables. Not quite Tales from the Yawning Portal tier, but a solid B. Loses points for no new monsters and a weak “History of Dragons.” #DnD

Digging through the new Dragon Delves adventure anthology, and I couldn't help but notice a bit of a parallel to some classic #DnD pixel art from the old Gold Box #Dragonlance adventure, Champions of Krynn. I approve!

Say something NICE about an edition of #DnD that you HATE.
4th Edition: Monsters changing tactics or triggering different abilities based off of a character being bloodied (1/2 HP) is a great idea.

Just used a Ring of the Ram to punt a hobgoblin into low-Oerth orbit; mid-monologue.
10/10 magic item. Would yeet again.

1985 was a legendary year for cinema. This is just a sampling. I double-dog dare you to name another year with as many instant classic films. Go ahead... I’ll wait.

Ever have a moment like this at your #DnD table? A magic item that became central to the storyline, but was wielded by a single character? How did it turn out?

Now that it's been released, did anyone pick up a copy of Dragon Delves on preorder from @Roll20 and get Dragons of Divinity with it? I'd love to hear what you all thought of it.

Monks in #DnD feel close to greatness, but something’s missing. Is it the focus on Eastern martial arts over general hand-to-hand combat? Are their abilities too thinly spread? Is the ki mechanic underwhelming? What would it take to make monks true slobberknockers?

Yeah, that gets yeeted into Ye Olde Trash Bin, folks. I don't need a cobbler threatening to swallow my soul.

#Highfolk lies on the upper reaches of the Velverdyva River, one of the Flanaess' most important trade arteries. Barges from Perrenland and beyond carry rare goods, and river piracy, smuggling, or escort work are common adventure hooks.

What player "weird" or "silly" character concept did your DM or other players initially scoff at, only to become its biggest fans by the end of the first session?

Final 24 hours! If you’re into #Shadowdark shenanigans and want a brutal trove of dungeons to grind your PCs into paste, this is it. I’m just one of many proud contributors. Grab it in hardcover, softcover, or PDF—your DOOM, your format. Link in the comments. #TTRPG
