Hey dnd community, quick question:

Im pretty new to dnd still and i really wanna try dming, and I kinda have a story in mind? But I'm having trouble trying together all the loose ends and would love a lil help 🙏🙏

I'm thinking about kind of a shorter campaign, maybe even a one-shot if I can condense it enough, but I was kinda thinking about like. An isekai-type adventure, like the heros go to bed one night and wake up in a totally new town with powers the don't fully understand etc etc the whole nine yards here

I'm tossing around the idea of this being some sort of elaborate, large scale dreamscape? Like this fantasy world is just sort of a cover up (for lack of a better term) for something huge going on in the real world. Eventually the party will break out of this simulation and face off against the REAL bbeg and that's where I'm stuck because I can't figure out for the life of me who or what the fuck would be behind this and why, yknow?

At first I was kinda thinking mind flayers or something similar? But for whatever reason that concept almost feels like. Cheap and overused to me personally :( plus I don't have a solid reason why they would have dozens if not hundreds of people (party included) in this simulation/dreamscape.

Humbly, I come to you dnd tumblr, and I ask for your aid. Any feedback or inspiration or ideas are GREATLY appreciated, thank you <3

Me : since I've never DM-ed before, I should probably start with one of those pre-made modules... Me, a day later : AIGHT LETS HOMEBREW THIS SHIT

Me: writes an intro blurb for the dnd campaign I'm going to be running and sends it to my players

Them: respond with a series of excited emojis

Me: they hate it. they think it's badly written and the intro isn't interesting enough. i am the worst dm in history and i haven't even started yet

Guess who's gonna run a dnd game for the first time soon! (hopefully!)

Not a big campaign or anything crazy. My mom's been interested in playing and my dad played it a little when he was younger, but still! It's something!

played dnd for the first time yesterday

i think that I should be the one putting players through mental grief instead of trying to figure out how to get my javelin back because it is stuck in a dead man's ass 500 meters away

Decided to get into embroidery so I can embroider references to my D&D characters on my jacket. Regret. It's been 3 hours and I keep on getting distracted. This is my first ever attempt, sooo. My old fabric marker that I use for sewing is also drying up so the markings are super faint, which makes things a lot harder.

Wrote a dnd campaign and sent it to my small group (my gf and her friend) and they were like,

This is too sad for my comic relief druid , two bards?? They are dead, and WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!

���guys, you INSISTED i write a campaign, OFC ITS GONNA BE A LITTLE SAD! I like sad endings!

Here's the summary, I don't have a great name for it but it's okay. ALSO THIS IS MY FIRST so if it seems silly or cheesy that's way. Don't make fun of me too hard 😁

[morangoowada]

Umm..... Somehow I finally gained some courage and I actually began writing a fanfic about my au! I'm still making the first chapter but I'll probably let you guys know once it's finished

[ace-of-d1am0nds]

my favorite rpg trope is when ur giving a player information in response to a roll and as soon as ur done just say exactly what you told them but this time in character to the rest of the pc's. it will never not be funny to me

First time DM here, had dune time and wanted to make some physical props for my 1st session!

Used red soda to make"blood stains" on the papers and carried them in my pockets a few days to make them look worn.

woah, day 38, 4/16/25

hey glitchlets

I dmed for the first time today. Was it scuffed yes, did my players have fun yes. Did chaos ensue yes. All in all good time. A party member may not have ended up marrying the queen after rolling high with flirting, then going on multiple dates, to moving in, then marriage. That’s so playing into the plot majorly.

anyways have a good night

i understand that it would make things more complicated for the devs but it sucks that blacklisting people in ff14 doesn't stop them showing up in duty finder with you. i just want to be able to walk around like people who are mean don't exist :((
