Dungeons should feel dangerous—places that inspire a healthy dose of fear when players send their characters inside. Survival should never be guaranteed. In the immortal words of The Eagles: “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.” #DnD #DangerousDungeons

At a mere 112 pages, will it be worth $30? 🔧 5 subclasses (incl. Cartographer) ⚙️ 5 species, 17 backgrounds, 28 feats 📜 New spell, bastion options, inventions 🌍 3 frameworks (noir, skyships, intrigue) 👹 20+ monsters for horror, heists & more #DnD #Eberron

Numerous hidden ranger outposts exist throughout the Vesve, operating independently or loosely coordinated with Highfolk and Veluna. Their positions are intentionally obscured to counteract humanoid incursions and are not publicly charted. #Greyhawk #Highfolk #DnD #LoreFriday

Quick Review: If you like dragons and adventure anthologies, Dragon Delves delivers. Easy to run, flexible, and varied enough for most tables. Not quite Tales from the Yawning Portal tier, but a solid B. Loses points for no new monsters and a weak “History of Dragons.” #DnD

Digging through the new Dragon Delves adventure anthology, and I couldn't help but notice a bit of a parallel to some classic #DnD pixel art from the old Gold Box #Dragonlance adventure, Champions of Krynn. I approve!

Say something NICE about an edition of #DnD that you HATE. 4th Edition: Monsters changing tactics or triggering different abilities based off of a character being bloodied (1/2 HP) is a great idea.

Just used a Ring of the Ram to punt a hobgoblin into low-Oerth orbit; mid-monologue. 10/10 magic item. Would yeet again. #DnD #Dragonlance #MagicItems #RingOfTheRam

1985 was a legendary year for cinema. This is just a sampling. I double-dog dare you to name another year with as many instant classic films. Go ahead... I’ll wait.

Ever have a moment like this at your #DnD table? A magic item that became central to the storyline, but was wielded by a single character? How did it turn out?

DwarvenDM 🔜 GenCon @dwarvendm.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

Now that it's been released, did anyone pick up a copy of Dragon Delves on preorder from @Roll20 and get Dragons of Divinity with it? I'd love to hear what you all thought of it. #Dragonlance #DnD

Hook me up, folks. What are the best, light-weight travel mechanics you've seen or used in in any #TTRPG system? Bonus points if it's #DnD though.

#Greyhawk fans, how many of you are familiar with the region of #Highfolk? What are your thoughts on it, or what adventures have you played or run there? Your responses matter. #DnD

DwarvenDM 🔜 GenCon @dwarvendm.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Monks in #DnD feel close to greatness, but something’s missing. Is it the focus on Eastern martial arts over general hand-to-hand combat? Are their abilities too thinly spread? Is the ki mechanic underwhelming? What would it take to make monks true slobberknockers?

DwarvenDM 🔜 GenCon @dwarvendm.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

Don’t stress, fellow DMs. Focus on fun and go with the flow. Start strong, end strong—everything in between is just the journey. You’ll zig, you’ll zag, but you’ve got this. Smile, roll with it, and when all else fails, fake it till you make it. #DnD #TTRPG #DMTips

To the players who bring snacks, lift others up, and flood every session with fun and laughs: HERE'S TO YOU. DMs—take a moment to tag the players who make your table better just by showing up. We know they make every session worth all the effort. 🧡🍻 #RPG #TTRPG #DnD

#Highfolk lies on the upper reaches of the Velverdyva River, one of the Flanaess' most important trade arteries. Barges from Perrenland and beyond carry rare goods, and river piracy, smuggling, or escort work are common adventure hooks. #DnD #LoreFriday

What player "weird" or "silly" character concept did your DM or other players initially scoff at, only to become its biggest fans by the end of the first session? #DnD #RPG #TTRPG #ChronoTrigger

Final 24 hours! If you’re into #Shadowdark shenanigans and want a brutal trove of dungeons to grind your PCs into paste, this is it. I’m just one of many proud contributors. Grab it in hardcover, softcover, or PDF—your DOOM, your format. Link in the comments. #TTRPG

I've got 10 boxes of old-school Dwarven Forge terrain, two months to prep, and a 6-8 hour one-shot 5th-level dungeon crawl to run. Hook me up with some stellar ideas or recommendations, and I'll give you a gold star. 🌟 #DnD #DungeonCrawl

The Super #Nintendo ushered in the golden age of gaming. Storytelling, music, and gameplay came together in a way we haven’t seen since. Fair warning: there are probably some controversial picks in here, but they're the ones that speak to me most. So, brace yourselves. #SNES #RetroGaming

The best way to Lazy DM is to patiently listen as your players debate their situation, then mold parts of the adventure to fit their theories. You farm out the creative work, and they feel like geniuses for having “seen it coming.” #DnD #DMTips

Reward wild ideas: if players rig a mirror-on-a-rope to trigger a switch or charm goblins with enchanted ale, lean in. Ask for details, call for a skill check, and let success or glorious failure become the story. Make “Why not?” your table’s motto. #DnD #DMTips

#Dragonlance gets an adventure makeover, à la The Goonies stumbling into an ’80s horror slasher. I ran this as a goof years ago, but I’m curious: would there be any interest if I wrote it up and released it on @dms_guild? Highlights below. #DnD 🧵 0/4

The Vesve is no mere forest. It is wild beyond reckoning; ancient, primal, and vast. A living tapestry of unspoiled groves and hidden glades, where beasts whisper, spirits linger, and trees have memory. It suffers no trespass and is slow to forgive. #Greyhawk #Highfolk #DnD

Many lament the modern direction of #DnD artwork, but let’s acknowledge that there are artists like Andrey Kuzinskiy who are absolutely crushing it right now. #dndart

Scouring the archives, I stumbled across these five mutts from a classic Castle #Greyhawk cover. Just imagine the mischief and mayhem this motley crew could stir up in #Highfolk. Are they all goblins? Anyone know their names or stories?

Darkvision isn’t a superpower. It just treats darkness as dim light, which means: • Disadvantage on Perception checks • –5 to passive Perception • No color vision or fine detail • Can’t read maps, books, or runes Bright and even dim light give full vision, so keep those torches ready!

Adding in low-risk battles let players feel awesome and and allow them to experiment with tactics they wouldn’t risk in high-stakes fights. Give them an opportunity to be big, dang heroes every once in a while. #DnD #DMTips
