Perhaps you're trying to pick a lock, and your DM needs you to 'roll dexterity.' [...]

D&D is an incredible, social game, but one of the main problems with it lies in its very nature. How can you get a campaign going if you don't have lots of people to play with? If you find yourself dying to play D&D, but without a big group of friends ready to play, it might seem impossible to get into this fantastic and imaginative hobby. But let's say you have 1 friend who has the same interests as you, who also wants to experience the roleplaying game that has for decades captivated and inspired the imaginations of so many. [...]

One of the best features of any RPG is the feeling of progressing a character. Within any kind of RPG you play today, whether it's a video game or a modern tabletop game, you will find the origin of its progression system within Dungeons and Dragons. D&D has been around for a long time now, having first been introduced to the world in 1974 by Gary Gygax. Since then it has grown into one of the most popular RPGs on the market, with over 20 million copies sold. It was originally designed to be played using paper and pencils, but later [...]

Do you remember playing Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) back in the day? If you don't, then you should definitely check out the game today. D&D has become a global phenomenon, with millions of players around the world. D&D was created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson in 1974. The game is played using dice rolls and character statistics, which has gained a mass following over the years. Players take turns rolling the dice and moving their characters through a fantasy setting. One of the great things about D&D is the idea of creating your own character. In terms of backstory, [...]

A large number of dungeon masters are intimately aware of the problems that come with creating a one-shot adventure for their players. The features that make roleplaying experiences effective (immersive settings, memorable characters, and compelling player motivations) will not be developed over the course one session, in contrast to a lengthy campaign. If you want to keep players engaged over a single story and game session, you must be efficient with your time, both during preparation and while at the gaming table. Effective planning and execution begin with identifying and addressing the critical components of the experience as soon as they [...]

Have you ever considered how to create an incredible backstory for one of your Dungeons & Dragons characters? I've been playing D&D for years and wanted to share some of the best resources I've come across.

Additionally, if you need to swiftly create a huge number of humans or NPCs, you may use an online template and automatic background generator. This article will outline some of the [...]

Paladin characters are often portrayed as being heroic warriors who fight evil. They fight on the side of their god for whatever justice they believe is in their tenets and codes. Part of the reason is that their characters are typically based on crusader ideals, and part of the reason is that gods and religion play a very heavy role in D&D. Paladins are members of a religious order dedicated to fight evil wherever they find it, considering that there are a lot of evil creatures and evil deities in D&D that demand evil deeds to be done on earth.

For Dungeons & Dragons beginners, there are certain elements of the game that can be a little harder than others to grasp. Proficiency may well be one of these elements, due to the sheer amount of what goes into the nature of proficiency and how it affects various aspects of your in-game character as well as weapons, armor, etc. We are going to be looking a little closer at proficiency in D&D as well as discerning whether it is able to add to the damage that your character inflicts. Let's get started. What Is Proficiency In D&D? Proficiency is [...]

D&D is a truly unique game that allows people to not only play through a story in a fantasy setting, but to create and build the setting, story, and virtually all major decisions that affect the game with some guidelines there to help them out. This happens in almost all aspects of the game, and that includes the classes you choose. The problem with classes is that there is only a set amount of them. In normal games, this isn't an issue as the game has limits, boundaries, rules, and restrictions that people accept. However, D&D is all about what [...]

Saving throws are a way for your DM to give you another chance. Let's set the scene. You play a rogue - perhaps a very over-confident, sneaky rogue - and you’re making your way through a treacherous dungeon. You have to be careful, each step could be your last! Your party gives you that terrible command - 'hey, can you search for traps?' So you go ahead. This is your job, after all, you have high perception, and you're ready to guide your party through the dungeon, keeping them safe, noticing small irregularities in the floor that might mean traps.
