Making a Believable Dungeon
One of the most iconic parts of any tabletop roleplay game is the dungeon-delving aspect; your party of friends traveling deep into ancient labyrinths, forgotten ruins, and underground caverns in the search for loot and adventure. While any location may be considered a “dungeon” in a broad sense, each location carries with it a different set of hazards and opposition to try and thwart any unwelcomed visitors. Making a “dungeon” believable in the context of whatever world it is taking place can be a bit tricky, so let's go over some of the things to look at while making a...
DnD - Masters of the Arcane
Last time we briefly covered the differences between most of the classes in the standard Dungeons and Dragons Players Handbook, noting their general strengths and weaknesses as well as potential play styles. This time we dive into the differences between the 3 primary arcane spell casters; the Sorcerer, the Warlock, and the Wizard. It is easiest to break down how each class approaches the facets of spellcasting and their mechanics one at a time. This is to give a new player a quick reference to look at to determine what they may like to play without having to flip back and forth in the book comparing and contrasting each feature. Just as with last time, this is a very general guide for each of the classes. With that in mind, let’s jump into it!
A Beginner’s Guide to DnD Classes
Approaching Dungeons and Dragons as a newcomer can feel a bit overwhelming. You are handed a character sheet full of empty boxes and a Players Handbook that is over 300 pages of information you should at least somewhat understand. The first thing everyone wants to do, however, is jump into character creation.
The People Behind the Dungeon
It’s been crazy around the shop over the past couple of months, and with the holiday season in the US wrapping up, we thought it would be a nice idea to officially introduce ourselves to this wonderful community that we are lucky enough to be a part of. We have had the pleasure of chatting with many fans over social media and Kickstarter and getting to know some of the people that have done us the honor of bringing Dirt Cheap Dungeons into their homes to share awesome memories with their friends, so we thought it would be nice to tell you all a little bit about those of us behind the scenes here at DCD!
It's Not All Dungeons
While any google search or stroll through a local game shop will make it pretty clear that Dungeons and Dragons reigns supreme in the tabletop roleplay game genre (TTRPG), a lot of that fact comes from the ease of the 5th edition system that the game uses, as well as the general understanding of the genre the game takes place in. Epic fantasy heroes battling terrifying monsters and saving the world is the bread and butter of TTRPG’s after all. However, just because it is the most popular with plenty of imitators that put little twists on the formula, it doesn’t make it the only game in town. There is a system and a setting to fit nearly any playstyle. Here of some of the most popular according to search results!
