Val’s favorite pest from campaign. He’s still a little guy, but he’s growing daily at an alarming rate! Template by @littleguysdaily

Spider kiss!!!!! Gayest scene in Strixhaven history ever

[phires]

For those of you who might have played Strixhaven, there's an npc named Cadoras Damellawar. My character is a kitsune named Akane, and they're dating, so I made this cute drawing of them.

I spent 13 hours working on it over a week span. I neglected sleep because I was feeling so inspired.

My Strixhaven handout pack! This one is just the Strixhaven clubs and jobs. Perhaps one day I’ll make another Strixhaven pack for the other parts of campus/ quests. But these club flyers I think give a lot of exposition for the academy anyhow

something something strixhaven NPCs idk the campaign i'm in is on hiatus and i miss them the majority of these are specific to the campaign I'm in but i promise they're at least mildly funny in context my defense for all of these is 'trust me bro'

Because why not? 😅

Dnd party for our current strixhaven campaign :)

Not what I usually post on this account anymore but last session, my players had a very deep conversation about how to turn their sled into the ultimate crime stopping automobile, and I think that was important enough for me to illustrate it and post it on here.

Some of the improvements they wish to add to the sled?

A back water/ice canon

Front Eldritch Blast canon

Radio (if they can't have one made, they considered putting a small pixie man inside with a guitar and pay him minimum wage to play epic music during their car chases)

Small pixie bobble-head that plays a jingle

Cupholders for whenever they stop at the Firejolt to get more of their gamer fuel

Elk armor (A Celestial Elk is at the front of the sled but it needs protection or it will despawn! Maybe Todd Howard could help us with that)

A bat signal so people can call them whenever something doesn't go right (they'll probably have tons of dragons get blinded when people point the signal in the sky but hey, one crisis at a time)

A SKOTOL flag (that's the name of their group and the correct spelling for our campaign's name SKOOL (Scholarly Knights Of (the) Oblivion Lights))

Grayson, part of the student council (and someone who enjoys accounting as a hobby) is helping them fund the project but they've been thinking of how they'd actually get all of this done. Maybe blackmailing the one engineer they have dirt on to do it for free or tax people on the campus... hmmm... so many possibilities!

In case this was not evident enough: I have lost control over the campaign. This is no longer the SKOOL campaign. No school. Just sled.

Strixhaven DMs, I need some advice. Spoilers below.

Murgaxor is a character that I think could be made into someone super interesting if given more depth. My players are willing to go along with the goofiness of the adventure as long as there’s some more… worldbuilding/plot than presented.

One of the ways I’ve done this is I wrote an elaborate story they have slowly been uncovering about the inaugural class of Strixhaven and how the descendants of that class all seem to lead… interesting lives. I’m making Murgaxor a descendant and adding that as part of his fixation on being expelled and wanting to get “revenge.” For a villain, he’s not very interesting so I’ve woven in lore/sidequests regarding the magic he’s attempting to use — or to learn more about him or the school in general— I’m making each year a little darker and more serious, etc.

It seems, however, that the homebrew elements I’m creating are the parts the party are most interested in. Which I’m fine with, but it’s greatly expanding the game and the milestone leveling is getting difficult.

How much homebrew did you all add to your campaigns to keep adult players hooked? Did you stick to the leveling the book suggests or did you level up more and then advanced the difficulty of encounters?

My new dnd group had our session zero today and the dynamic between the characters is so good

Character 1 is a Reborn with no memory of his past life or how he died, indebted to Character 2 for taking care of him when he first revived.

Character 2 is the person who killed Character 1 in a Wild Magic accident but is not about to tell him that.

Character 3 knew Character 1 before he died but hated his guts, so she has no intention of helping him get his memories back

And they're all going off to college together!! Best friends forever!

Scribbles of Val hanging out with her girlfriend :> You know, her face was inviting a book to be placed on it. Clearly.

Strixhaven DnD

So, I'm going to be running a solo game using the Strixhaven setting, but not the included adventure, for just one friend of mine. It's going to be text based, play-by-post, as that's how we really like to run our solo games with each other (we have a handful). In most of our games we use the Solo Adventurer's Toolbox and its sequel, available on DM's guild. It's great because it allows for the game to be run without either of us getting so bogged down in planning that we get stressed out or bored, namely helped out by a handful of different d100 lists for encounters (both combat and non-combat) -- for both wilderness encounters and urban encounters.

But as I'm sure you can imagine, those particular encounter tables are really made more for like LOTR-style typical adventuring D&D and are a lot less useful for a campaign setting that is as specific as Strixhaven!

So basically, what I was hoping was to ask folks here about the kinds of random encounters that you would include on a d100 list specifically for Strixhaven encounters. I currently have a list of about 30 options, and I've tried to include all sorts of things based on the different colleges, on different jobs, on different extracurriculars, and even using different pre-established places on campus. I've not included it here yet because I honestly want to publish the list to my own personal TTRPG blog when it goes live -- but I'm not sure if that's fair to do if I'm asking folks for ideas here, because I feel like it's crappy to publish something to a personal blog without being able to credit contributors.

Either way, I'm looking for ideas. Combat ideas! Non-combat ideas! Student drama! If you think it would fit the campaign setting, I'd be interested in hearing what comes to mind for you. I might already have some of them on my list. But there's no telling, and anything that might jog some ideas into my brain would be GREATLY appreciated, so that I can more easily run this solo Strixhaven game for myself and my friend.

I've found one pre-existing d100 list (but it really is split in half so only goes to 50) that is somewhat helpful, but other than that... the options out here are pretty light for Strixhaven specific d100 encounter tables.
