First ever sculpted?/created DnD miniature [OC] [ART] /u/Difficult-News8718 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

​r/DnD I’ve been DMing for almost 30 years, and have dabbled in collecting and painting minis for much of that time, but never tried creating one from scratch, until this last week. I had so much fun!! I have always wanted to craft interesting terrain pieces for my games, so I started collecting bits of styrofoam and formed chipboard packaging that I felt had interesting shapes, in the hopes of someday crafting fun reusable terrain for my DnD games. Unfortunately, I have ADHD, so I mostly have a pile (of what most people would call trash) in the corner of my game room, along with some half-crafted bits. 😅 Well, recently I bought a foam cutting tool, just a little $20ish hot wire cutter off Amazon, and it’s been sitting on my shelf for a few months. Finding myself with more time on my hands than usual, and a need to keep busy, I decided to try my hand at crafting a monster for the dungeon my players are about to enter. Time to build a beholder! I spent about $4 at the dollar tree getting styrofoam balls and a little Christmas tree decoration (from which I used the wooden stand). I grabbed some of my daughter’s armature wire (which she rarely uses) and started playing around with my materials. I looked up beholder art for references, and made this! I loved every part of the process! Plus, my group was so excited, when they saw it! I know I’m a super noob at this, and it’s silly, but it’s made the last week a joy, with something fun to look forward to and spend a little time on. submitted by /u/Difficult-News8718 [link] [comments]

Table Etiquette Question /u/Charlieuk DnD: Roll for Initiative!

submitted by /u/Charlieuk
[link] [comments]

​r/DnD Hi all, I’m a player and my group meets once a week. The session usually lasts 6 hours, with a 10 min break halfway through. Generally it’s pretty relaxed, we can eat and chat at the table etc, leave if we need the bathroom etc. Essentially my problem is I can’t sit that long, my mind wanders and I get very fidgety. Even though the current game I’m playing is genuinely super engaging, and the DM is a fantastic storyteller, after about 3 hours I really struggle to stay focused and follow what’s going on. When it’s not my turn my mind wanders and I struggle to concentrate, especially if some others players are doing something time consuming that I’m not involved in, I struggle to keep track of what is happening. One of the few rules we have is no phones at the table. I understand that scrolling on your phone during the game is super rude, so that’s out. For a while I used to stack and fidget with my dice but that was annoying the DM and another player. I’ve tried a fidget spinner, that was considered annoying too. If it makes any difference, all my friends, including those I game with say I have a ton of ADHD traits, though I’m mid 30s and not diagnosed with anything. I’m looking for some genuine ideas of non intrusive things I can do to keep my hands busy and mind focused during a long session. All advice welcome! submitted by /u/Charlieuk [link] [comments]

Thinking of giving up with campaign, I planned it so poorly /u/PineappleCutterUpper DnD: Roll for Initiative!

submitted by /u/PineappleCutterUpper
[link] [comments]

​r/DnD Tldr: Want to give up my campaign 2 sessions in. Dont have anything planned, dont know how to move forward. Will let my group of friends down. Too stressful, dont know how to do this really. I am really thinking of just giving up in my campaign. We are only 2 sessions in, my session zero went to shit and we didnt really cover anything I wanted to and was rushed into the world when I had nothing planned because “thats what weve always done with session zeros” even though I expressed I just wanted to go over things like character building and expectations and what not. My next session, a crucial player for the main mission was missing, so the whole thing was improvised and was cut short 2 hours early. Aside from this, despite having 2 months of prep time I absolutely wasted, I have nothing planned. I have a bare bones idea of a campaign, with a map made, cities somewhat thought out, a pantheon of gods, for some reason a whole cosmology I fully fleshed out, like 2 npcs, and the overarching plot isnt even really there. I spent basicaly a full month of that time just trying to think of a good idea for a campaign, and it still sucks. I was happy with it at the time but now I just wish I could start over. I know its my fault for maybe biting off more than I could chew after asking to dm a game, and then not really committing fully to it, but I did try, often, to work on the campaign, and at first i thought i was doing good. All my 4 players have full characters made with their own motives and desires and history and are fleshed out, and now all I basically have to do is connect those to the world, to what could happen, what they might run into or do or etc, and I cant. I know that sounds silly, and trust me im sat here more upset that I cant than ever, but my brain just wont. Ive been sitting here at my desk for hours, and for some reason im just struggling so much with it. To even get one plot point or milestone down. Hell, just to figure out a solid overarching plot or a big bad guy thats open for the players to interact with. Every time I sit down, I barely get anything done, and this was all supposed to be done weeks ago. I dont know how to do this. Ive read countless articles, watched so many youtube videos, read reddit forums, talked to other dms in discord, you name it, trying to not even plan this campaign bu figure out how to! And its like I hit a wall every damn time. I dont know how to make this work. I think part of it is that i feel a lot of pressure towards it. My players are all my close friends that weve been playing dnd together for almost years at this point. Multiple of them have dmed in the past, my closest friend just did his first ever campaign as a dm and absolutey rocked it, despite it being a more linear campaign with one direction throughout. It was great, we all enjoyed it. My players have also all told me im doing good, even saying out of the blue how impressed they were with my fisrt session that went sideways, my ability to improv and make memorable characters on the spot. I think I could, I think I would enjoy it, to be honest. But this is too much for me. I wish i could start over from the beggining, state my own expectations clearly on the world and on session zero and characters and everything from the getgo, and plan something im actually inspired by and want to do. ive lost all love for the original idea and just want it to be over with. I think on that level, dnd would be fun to run. Making a world, making characters, making problems, its all fun. But im so overwhelmed, and I dont know how to move forward. I know it is supposed to be fun, for me, for everyone, thats the whole point. But I feel like im just setting myself up for months of constant stress with something I and the players arent really happy with. That simply maybe this isnt for me right now, but then also breaking that news is hard. So, I want to give up. Ive been pushing myself to push through, get it done, get over the stress and focus, plan, and I cant. Its not working. My brain isnt braining and coming up with things. I wish the universe would just fix my brain and make this work at this point, because honestly, its not that hard. I feel like any other dm experienced or not could take whats here and make it into a really cool campaign. I feel like im actually just a little broken, and I know how that sounds and is a bit silly, but thats where Im at. I told one of my players, who is my closest friend, that I was thinking of just starting the campaign over, since we are only 2 sessions in, and they havent really gone well, and I want to kindof reset the scene, fix some of the major plot holes, introduce them properly to the setting, and I think he got a bit upset with me, and told me not to, because they would all lose interest. And I understand that. They have all put effort into these characters, and ive barely given them anything. Starting over would just be kindof a drag on. But I dont know how to move forward. I imagine, if i did continue, id probably eventually make it work, but it would be simply badly put together, struggling the whole way, it wouldnt be up to my standards of something I do or create, even if i enjoyed it a little at this point. So, I think honestly Im just going to give up. Break the news, dissapoint em, and then dissapear for a while from the group. Everyone on this reddit group has been so kind and supportive giving me advice and reassurance during this process, and my friends have also been adamant on the fact that they know its my first game, and maybe ill even decide to continue after posting this, but I just… dont know how to continue. Ive got nothing. Wish i could pay an instructor or something to help me plan this out lol. Id honestly easily drop hundreds on that right now, but its too late to get a premade module, which I should have done in the first place.

Here’s Sunderia – the Twin Worlds. Ask me Anything! [OC] /u/Fishy_Fish_12359 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

submitted by /u/Fishy_Fish_12359
[link] [comments]

​r/DnD Been working on this for a while now, please read and let me know what you guys think! At the dawn of the world, the great cosmic serpent K’zoth was struck down by the gods, and from its coil the ring that was the world formed, and was populated by the gods by two groups of races – the Viashino, races of scale and claw, and the races of flesh and skin, the humans dwarves Elves and Kor. Around a thousand years ago, a great war erupted between the Viashino empire and the kingdom of the high elves. It was so fierce that the gods themselves were driven mad by the collective rage of millions of their followers, and the gods waged war against each other until Thryndor the stormlord smote one of his fellow gods with such force, the blow shattered the world nearly in two. Known as the Sundering, this event cut off the Viashino in the west from the peoples of flesh in the east, and wrought such devastation that so few were the survivors that no one was left who prayed to the gods, for they feared and hated them, and they faded from the world. Nearly a thousand years later, the human captain of a mercenary company, Thaddeus Blackstone, discovered a sea passage between the isolated continents. Now known as Blackstone’s Straight, it serves to allow an age of conquest and exploration of the savage western continent of Serrathis. submitted by /u/Fishy_Fish_12359 [link] [comments]
