Aw, the goodest boy. We gnolls get confused with dogs sometimes, but we’re not canine. Do you have a canine race in your setting?

TTRPGs are meant to be all about collaborative storytelling. So why not extend that to worldbuilding?

Let the players do all the leg work for you!

#DmTIP: Make Failures Fun! Failure is part of the game and rolling a flub happens more often than not. As a DM, failure isn't always something that is meant to punish the party. Especially if the whole party or a single player is rolling badly the whole night, that doesn't mean you can't have fun. Instead of having them "fail" give them a new greater challenge on top of what they are trying to accomplish. Or, even though they did not accomplish what they were doing, by failing, they opened up a story thread that they can go follow. Visit https://minvathemes.com for our digital #ttrpg products.

One of my favorite DM tools are these cheapo craft organizers. There are much fancier varieties, but I grab these for about a buck each when there is a 50% off sale at a local hobby store and they work just fine. I have a few dozen of them. Each section can hold a mini or two, a full set of polyhedral dice, spell/effect makers or bits of scatter terrain as shown here. What are your favorite tools for gaming? . . #dungeonmaster #dungeonsanddragons #5e #dnd5e #dndminiatures #gamemaster #pathfinder #gamenight #gameday #tabletop #rpg #dnd #ttrpg #tabletopterrain #scatterterrain #dmtips #dm #gm #runningthegame (at Lawrence, Kansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEEyNLonNKa/?igshid=1njjjl2btiv9a

This is a logic puzzle to test your players with.  Below is the setup and further down you will find some hints. I will edit this post with the answer on Sunday 09/15.  Until then good luck, and as always, leave a to let us know you’re a smart cookie. Don’t post the answer – no spoilers! Setup: The PCs meet a druid in a village that is suffering from an illness.  He tells them that they are all infected, the PCs included, by an airborne sickness.  It comes from the Myconid that live in a grove just outside town. The sickness causes confusion, memory-loss and death.  The druid is losing his memory now but he remembers that one of the Myconid causes the sickness and another one has the antidote.  He says he will tell the PCs what he remembers and if they can work out which Myconid has what pattern and what color spores then this will be enough to jog the Druid’s memory so he will remember which one has the antidote that will save them.  The Myconid are secretive and will not speak to the PCs. Magic has no effect on the illness or the Myconid. What The Druid Remembers: The Red Spores belong to a Myconid with two words in its name. The one named Little Cap has Blue Spores. The one with a Triangle Pattern does not have Yellow Spores. The one with Green Spores has either a Patches Pattern or a Dots Pattern. Big Bello has acute pattern. The Dots Pattern belongs to a Myconid that has either Red or Green Spores. The one with Yellow Spores has a Solid Pattern. The Black Spores are either on a Big Myconid or a Little one. The Myconid with Blue Spores dislikes the way the Myconid with Patches smells. The Myconid with Green Spores has the longest name. The Myconid with Dots has a crush on the Myconid with Green Spores. The Myconids’ names: Little Cap, Frog Step, Big Bello, Porcin and Chanterelle. The Myconids’ patterns: Solid, Stipes, Triangles, Dots and Patches. The Myconids’ Spore colors: Black, Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green. . Hint 1: Remember, there are different types of triangles. . Hint 2: Knowing who someone likes or dislikes tells you more than just their particular affinities. . #Dnd #dndtips #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsanddragons5e #dmtips #dnd5e https://www.instagram.com/p/B2XnhcmBr-p/?igshid=5i0ju2beeawg

#DmTip: Give your players a homebase - Although the party is usually a group of adventurers, that doesn't mean they don't need a place to relax and recharge in between quests. A homebase can give meaningful role-playing avenues for levelling up, training montages, and backstory setup. Visit https://minvathemes.com for our digital #ttrpg products.

Entry 1

Well this one is going to be going over everything that has happened to date. The campaign started in tavern(of course haha) where the heros were summoned by captain of the town guard(Captain Shuli) to go and investigate some strange happenings in a near by town. The group consists of a human paladin by the name of, Arthur Matthias Ventanus, a proper man from a noble family that live to the north near the godscrown mountain range. His family are the guardians and overseers of the merchant town called Salzig. There is an Elf Druid named Alara Wolfmoon from the Wolfmoon clan. She was sent at a young age of 5 to go live in the wilderness alone growing up with a wolf. The point of this is to come into her wildshape powers, however when returning home she did not so she was sent to continue her journey with her brother fang. There is also a gnome wizard named Bilder the Tall. Bilber is on a quest of knowledge and in his jounrys and studies came across book than he doesn't understand, however he knows in heart this book is evil and now quests to find a way to destroy it or just keep it out of the hands of evil. Next we have a monk female named Briella who as a baby was left at her monastery as a baby. she was considered an abomination as she is a half-elf half-dwarf. Next we have a hafling bard named Ryan. He uses his abilities to find criminals and turn them in for money, as any bounty hunter would. Lastly we have a elven rouge. He grew up with his merchant parents owning store. One day his parents were killed and Vaylen then turned to stealing. He ended up joining a big thieves guild called The Jackals who ended up stealing a lot of money from and is now on the run doing odd jobs to get by.

Till now the heros have found that the strange happenings are coming from the relm of madness trying to bleed through to tandor. which later they found out that the god of madness Asura is trying to break free of his prison. Turns out that the book Bilber found is the seal for asura. They traveled to the kingdom of the elves Maal dorei where the king of the elves had explained to them about the king of stondor is possessed by the god of madness and then took the book from bilber to keep it safe freeing bilbers mind. They were told about the elven gods champions used 6 items of power to seal away asura, but afterwards the items were scattered across the world. The heros now need to travel world gathering these items to seal away asura again after being told by the elven king that it is their destiny.

They also found out that their friend Finn is actually the believed to be dead prince of stondor which the king tried to kill and then used it as a plot to start a war. 

Over this journey Arthur found a griffon that alara helped him hatch. They have also found a few items of power already. The cloak of rillifane, the gauntlets of solonor, and are currently on their way to get the dagger of ereven. 

Where we left off last time they were in a tavern when all of a sudden the village is being attacked by soldiers of stondor. The paladin tried to end it peacefully by grabbing one of the soldiers and saying if they lay down their arms their friend would live and then the soldiers killed their friend. They do not seem to be themselves or normal. There are many soldiers here ten inside the tavern and maybe another 30 more outside. Next time we will see what our heros will do and how they will get out of this situation.
