One of my players is out this week, so we're doing a bit of a filler/travel session. They're entering the Underdark for the first time, and will hopefully end up having just arrived at a Drow city a week or so away on foot.

Any fun ideas? The Underdark-ier the better!

I feel like when people are shocked to hear how much time a GM spends prepping, they assume that time is being efficiently used.

The party's heading into a dungeon tomorrow? Better spend three hours coming up with obscure lore for an unrelated kingdom 1,000 miles away!

Here's a fun new spell we came up with while brainstorming ideas for a "Circle of the City" druid subclass.

I can't tell what I like more, the spell's concept or its name.

Halloween is over... a primeval monster stirs in its extra-planar nest... Gobblar the Destroyer will rise again!

Thanksgiving will never be the same.

Easily the best part about publishing D&D adventures online is waking up to an email from somebody letting you know how much fun they had.

I know @mattcolville.bsky.social has talked about D&D and the Black Company for years, but a mysterious black rock that kills anybody it touches and grows a little bigger each time really is a fantastic setup for an adventure.

Running out of time to prep your last-minute Halloween D&D session? Run through the Death House from Curse of Strahd!

Here's a free remixed version that changes things up a bit and streamlines it to be quick and easy to run: redcap.press/adventures?selected=death-house

DM Tip: Find somebody to brainstorm with. Having another person (not in the party!) that you can talk to about your campaign and world can help lift a lot of the mental burden of DMing.

We need more magic items with the potential for disastrous consequences. One of my players loaned their Horn of Blasting (which they didn't know could explode) to a friendly townsperson that they'd convinced to act as a distraction.

It was definitely distracting.

DM Tip: Foreshadowing a future plot twist doesn't take as many hints as you think, and even just one or two will blow your players' minds when looked at in retrospect.

What's the best-written D&D adventure/module you've ever seen? Not necessarily your favorite, just the most well-crafted. Official or otherwise!

DM Tip: If you're worried that a fight you're planning is too hard/easy, play it out ahead of time.

This is usually overkill and gets inaccurate with more players, but it's especially helpful if you're running one-on-one D&D or if one of your players has challenged some NPC to a duel.

Feature Announcement!

Our Encounter Builder now supports monsters from "Fizban's Treasury of Dragons" and "Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants"

You won't be able to view the stat blocks (for copyright reasons), but if you own the books our tool can help you make encounters with them!

DMs, what's a cool bit of lore you recently added to your world?

I'll go first: one of my players just learned about the "Goat Men of Gorn," who live high in the mountains and worship a future-seeing eldritch horror that looks like a floating goat's eye (the player's patron).

My favorite recent D&D idea: an Illusion wizard that doesn't have Message or Sending, but ritually casts Magic Mouth to pre-record a bunch of messages on rocks, then hurls them at people with a sling.

Here's a fun little Illusion spell we made for a recent game, for all the illusion wizards out there. Knock your enemies down, and maybe embarrass them a little in the process.

DM Tip: Sometimes a player will get excited about an idea that screws with something you have planned, so your instinct is to shut it down.

Try to fight this urge. Odds are if it forces you to change your plan, the new will be at least as good as the last.

I'm playing an Illusion-Only wizard in a D&D 2-shot right now and let me tell you, it's so much easier than the Transmutation-Only wizard I played last time.
