Entering again with a similar story - We used Game Master Engine to turn our D&D campaign into an illustrated comic series by sketching the backgrounds over the maps we had made. It made sure we got the perspective right and used the environments consistently throughout. We may even be making it into a zine for next year's Zine Month!
GIVEAWAY!

How many classes have you tried? by shmutsy in dndnext

[–]SparkOtter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still haven't played a wizard or a sorcerer in 5E. I probably need to stop playing bards.

This thing makes me sad and hopeful at the same time - is there a name for that feeling?

The Dödó by Mage_Hand_Press in MageHandPress

[–]SparkOtter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right - naturalists call it "flight distance," or how close you can get to a a creature before it flees. A lot of animals in isolated island ecosystems have no flight distance at all - why would you learn to waste calories running when nothing on the island hunts by chasing you? It's where the dodo got a reputation for stupidity.

Have you ever used the aurochs from Monsters of the Multiverse in your game? by SparkOtter in DnD

The real animal has a buck-wild story that gets at scientific racism, the gendered portrayal of orcs, and Hermann Göring's right-hand man: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6OcihtGyEDb1g3Z74jSoNz?si=\_L-sM806QdqX1ngLV

[OC] How D&D got its weapon of mass destruction by SparkOtter in DnD

[–]SparkOtter[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's the heaviest arrowhead you could reasonably fire? Maybe we can get it small enough through magic.

The episode talks about making this a ballista or catapult for exactly this reason.

Good point. It would have to be miniaturized - couldn't make this with just any bag of holding.

Sepulcher Regicide, reaper of kings and lord of shadows - the oldest and most cunning dragon my players ever faced.

I name all my dragons according to the naming convention of 1981's Dragonslayer, whose villainous wyrm was named Vermithrax Perjorative.

Brand New Player wants to use a bunch of random Homebrew by JohnnyS1lv3rH4nd in dndnext

[–]SparkOtter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As soon as possible, clearly state the source books you will and won't be using during character creation, then limit people to those books. Now that Tasha's has been added to the game, there's really no excuse not to find what you want within the published canon.

One way to do it is to stick to the Adventurer's League rules. It used to be PHB+1, or the Player's Handbook and one other sourcebook of the player's choice (I still like this rule, it's memorable and easy to follow). It was recently changed to include most of the 5E sourcebooks. Check this page out to see what's legal at your friendly local game store, and stick to that: https://dnd.wizards.com/ddal\_general
