All Things DnD's Story Dungeon

A good backstory is the most powerful device in DND. This is why you take the time to write one. A great DM will weave your backstory into something this memorable when given the opportunity. Also, quick thing, I’ve been working with my good friends at dScryb lately on some really exciting DnD-related stuff behind the scenes. I can’t wait to share more about those things with you!Before we take our leave, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel, All Things DnD.

Somehow I’ve never heard of Monster of the Week and I absolutely want to play this game. We should try to set something up, so if anyone wants to run this game leave a comment below and we can set something up. It’s pretty tough trying to incorporate a moral dilemma when players don’t care about morality. Ultimately this is just a player, playing the wrong kind of game.

Honestly, it is a happy ending. It’s easy to recognize when you aren’t having fun and try to figure out a way to make it better. The DM being stubborn and refusing to see how the changes to the games system would kill any enjoyment for playing a caster is wild. Who would enjoy taking a turn just to fail repeatedly? DND is about player agency and having a good time, the DM should be fudging rolls in the players favor not the other way around. I know the game that she will DM will already be better having learned this valuable lesson already.Before we take our leave, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel, All Things DnD.

 This story happened about 15 years ago when I and my group were all inexperienced and living together in university. We played all kinds of systems and settings and loved to play long-haul homebrews. At the point this story takes place we had already played many systems together and now wanted a go at the gothic noir Vampire the Masquerade setting with a 50/50 split of brutal combat and political backdealing.Before we take our leave, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel, All Things DnD.

You might be asking yourself…what is the difference between a daemon and a demon. Well, according to my research, The essential difference between a "daemon" and a "demon" is that a daemon is any spirit, good or bad, including the spirit of a living human, while a demon is exclusively a bad spirit. A daemon can also be controlled if you know the daemon’s name which according to other folklore is also applicable to demons. But hey, it's homebrew so I’m sure the DM in this case provided more background. Still, what a hill to die on because of a miscommunication. Have you ever had someone ruin a game of DND because they didn’t hear something correctly?Before we take our leave, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel, All Things DnD.

What in the alt-right history is this? I actually really enjoy the idea of modern day campaigns, one of my all time favorites that I played was a Red Dawn style GURPS game where we built ourselves as characters and wolvered all over the red devils that decided to invade.

I feel like we should make shirts that say, “I finished a six year campaign and all I got was this baby”. What a complete failure on the DMs part.

DND is supposed to be an environment for shared storytelling, fun, adventures, and good times. It isn’t for you to insert your anime kinks onto your players without their consent or ability to stop the creepiness you are forcing onto their characters.

Unfortunately for the player, death happens. Often actually. If he, or the party did nothing to reposition or draw the attention of the wraith onto another member then honestly what could they expect to happen? As a DM I treat combat similarly and realistically. If a creature is attacking a party member they will continue to do so unless something else draws its attention. I vote this DM is not the a-hole.

It really is wholesome that DND, a fun fantasy game of wizards, warriors, and dice can change a person's perspective on the real world and the people coexist alongside us. Kudos to this DM for really helping his players see this differently in a positive way.

Have you ever had a home brew spell completely backfire and end your campaign or is this a first? For the second story I am agreeing with the player here. A player will completely control a prior NPC as a PC differently than the DM was. They are, after all, completely different people.

I really like the campaign setting. A hopeless now win situation that is almost certain death for your party. I wonder how the campaign would have gone if they had rolled poorly on getting that note out to the outside world…It’s always a win when the players manage to foil the GM’s plan in a genuine, non-meta game, non-hostile way.

It’s so strange to me that people are mad about finite resources or their being consequences for your actions in a game that is determined by…your actions. I understand some players just want the power fantasy and approach DND like a video game and their only interest is blowing up monsters and getting loot. I may be biased because I don’t run games that way or have any interest in playing in a game like that. What do you think? Do you run games that have consequences for your decisions?

It’s so refreshing to get to hear both sides of a conflict. In my opinion the DM didn’t properly articulate the lethality of this campaign. I wasn’t there but from the world setting and the rarity of diamonds I would imagine player death’s would be pretty rare or the DM would have told them to bring a stack of character sheets because this is going to be a meat grinder. But I am glad that the DM recognized that they didn’t do a good enough job explaining the world and allowing the player to come back as a reborn. So, in my opinion, a happy ending that the community came together to help resolve. I consider that win.Before we take our leave, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel, All Things DnD.

How quickly the roll of the dice can turn a villain into an inconsequential bump in the road. These are the best damn moments. A DM can’t plan for this, player’s can’t predict it. That’s the beauty of it. We aren’t playing a perfectly scripted story. The crazy and unknown are what makes this game great.

Easily my favorite part of this story is the fact that the DM tried to get out of the situation he put himself in. He rolled with the punches and let his player’s plans happen. That’s what it's all about, the improv the quick thinking and begrudgingly rewriting all of that planned campaign because of the spell Command. Before we take our leave, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel, All Things DnD.

Improvisation is the soul of dungeons and dragons. My approach to DMing is creating a rough outline of plot devices that my players can run into that will propel the story forward. Of course most of the time they go in the complete opposite direction and I shift my plot devices that way or simply make things up.

These situations are what makes a DM think a lot. Should the DM have shielded the player by not following the rules for his own happiness?
