So I have been cheating on Dungeons and Dragons. I have been listening to Daggerheart actual play podcast lately and while I am loving all the new weapon masteries and how easy and fun it is to just load our combats on to a VTT, this new system has made me feel nostalgic for the theater of the mind and how fluid and interesting combat is if you don’t have to grid and measure everything out as much...

Hey folks, running one week behind so this is the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy character build for the month of June. It Is Waxillium Ladrain, a gunsling lawman from The Alloy of Law Series by Brandon Sanderson. It is full of Gunslinger flavor with a hint of Warlock and a Paladin dip too. This episode comes with a Home brewed item customized for Wax, but would serve as a nice templet for any game...

So on this Episode of Dragons and Dice, I am building a D & D character that is bound to be band. I am calling it the Go Go Gadget Grappler, and as the title says it can make unarmed attacks from 30 feet away. But even better it can pick up any monster in Dungeons and Dragons. It can also become gargantuan.  So if you have ever wanted to try to suplex the Tarrasque this is the build for you. C...

So we all have tables where introverts and extroverts collide. I think it is really important to make sure that each persons voice is heard at your d D & D table.

Plus, a nice idea for all you DM’s out there to fill out a session if you don’t have time to prep. This...

It’s time Harvey “ Two-Face” Dent comes to your D &...

Check out our Etsy shop The Dragons Hoard 25   So I tried to build a Multiclass and it turned out like hawt Garbo. When I got done I realized that if I had just made a lvl 20 character in one class it would have been way better is almost every way. That got me thinking. Are the level 20 cap stones that great for Dungeon and Dragons characters that if we are going to end game should we be multiclas...

Starting something new! Each month on Dragons and Dice I am going to build my version of a book/movie character 1-20 as if they were a Dungeons and Dragons character. For the first one I am doing my favorite, Kaladin Stormblessed from The Storm Light Archives. My theory on these builds is not going to be for optimization but to try to capture the feel and abilities of each character in a DnD setti...

If you are looking for creative ways to get those awesome surprise rounds against your group of adventurers, or you are tired of the Dm pul...
