While I have spent countless hours running Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and creating DM's resources for the adventure, I realized that I have never actually sat down and reviewed it. So, even though I'm probably a bit late to the party, here's my review of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.
In this post I'll explain my house rule for fixing falling damage in fifth edition D&D. It's a quick, simple rule, that makes falling damage in 5E a lot more realistic, and which can be implemented without changing too much else about the game.
In this post, I'll describe how you can replace 5E's skill proficiency system with Skill Points – yeah, those nifty little things you may remember them from earlier editions of Dungeons & Dragons!
Just like a book or a movie is composed of a long series of scenes, a game of Dungeons & Dragons (and other tabletop roleplaying games) is, in essence, composed of a long series of encounters. I don't think it's a stretch to say encounter design is one of the most important skills in the… Continue reading How To Make Great Encounters

These official adventures are aimed… Continue reading Running published adventures – how to run official 5E D&D campaigns

Greek mythology has always fascinated me, so while I haven't done sourcebook reviews before, I felt like this would be a good time to start. Because I have no interest in running a game in a Magic the Gathering-setting, I'll focus on… Continue reading Mythic Odysseys of Theros – Races and Subclasses Review
If you ever frequent Reddit's various D&D-subreddits, you've probably heard about Dungeondraft. It's a really cool piece of mapmaking software with a very affordable pricetag (19.95$). Anyway, I downloaded it, played around with it a little, and came up with an additional Avernus encounter map. It's nothing fancy, but it was quick to make –… Continue reading Free Avernus Dungeondraft map!
If you're anything like me, you can never get enough D&D-content. So, I thought I'd let you know about some of my favorite, underrated YouTube-channels. There's a tonne of great content creators for D&D out there, and I won't pretend to know all of them. Of course, there's some that most of you probably know.… Continue reading Review – Underrated D&D YouTube Channels!
