Announcement Welcome to r/dmsguild - Now the DMsGuild Creator's Club

Welcome to the DMsGuild Creator's Club

As you might have noticed, r/dmsguild is under new management. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Steve Fidler, and I'm the Lead Designer at vorpaldicepress.com website under construction

Over the next few weeks, I'll be working with the moderator team here to establish some baseline rules and guidelines for the subreddit. We've already implemented mandatory Flairs, and some basic rules in the sidebar. Also a fancy new subreddit logo, yay.

If you have any suggestions or recommendations, feel free to comment below!

The goal of the subreddit will be a place for users to discuss their releases, ask for help, share resources like tutorials and workshops, and simply act as a community. I am a member of several successful DMsGuild-centric communities and the one thing that is consistent across all of them is that we are stronger as creator's when we work together and that's the mentality I want to bring to this subreddit.

Cheers!

Seeking Advice Help finding spells in Darkhold book

5 Upvotes

I was perusing the darkhold: secrets of the zhentarim book (can be previewed before buying) and looking particularly at the stat blocks on page 87 of the pdf.

These stat blocks include some spells i don’t recognize with a superscript “dh”

would anyone be able to point me to what “dh” means?

I think it must be a supplement (because other spells have “xge” which must be xanathars guide to everything) but i don’t think “waterdeep: Dragon Heist” has any spells.

Any guidance is appreciated! most emails resources are new to me. thanks!

edit: I am an idiot. DH stands for darkhold—the book has the spells!

very cool book i wish i could own a physical copy

Seeking Advice AD&D 2e PoD Recommendations

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm looking for some AD&D 2e recommendations. It was the first edition that I really played a lot of, and I had an old school friend steal all my old Ravenloft and Dark Sun stuff.

I'm interested in adventures and campaign settings mostly, but I've been seeing very mixed reviews for the PoD quality and I was hoping for some recommendations from people who've bought some of the AD&D 2e books.

Thank you,

Seeking Advice Help with tools for demonic factions & gangs

1 Upvotes

So some of my inspiration for my latest campaign would be the comics Hellboy & Hellblazer, and the movies Blade & Underworld. Its a story about occult detectives trying to stop demonic forces and monster-of-the-week style mysteries. I think I've got a pretty good grasp on writing the episodic, session-based stories, but really want to include some macro-based stories and conflict. No shade to 5e, but the idea of a BBEG creates too much of a super-hero-style storyline to me, so I'm trying to make something a little more, I dunno, ambiguous.

I mean obviously in my universe there is heaven and hell, God and Lucifer, but they aren't really involved in the mortal plane very much. So instead I'm trying to plan out how the princes of Hell are grappling for power to rule over humans as shadowy organizations. So not really "cults" per say, because these gangs are made up of demons/monsters, but also not really organized crime. More like the vampires vs lycans of Underworld, but I want to make it more Game of Thrones like with multiple secret factions that are all stabbing each other in the back after forming fake alliances. However, the PCs are then trying to take down these secret demonic groups as these groups are fighting with each other to rule the world.

So I'm struggling to find some good tools to plan out these macro-level conflicts and stories. A lot of what's out there are for open political factions that are made up of say the monarchy, banking guilds, etc. Which doesn't quite work since I want my groups to be hidden to all the humans. Or there are tools for making cults, which also doesn't quite work since I want my groups to not be religions with disciples but instead back-stabbing gang members. Or there are tools for making thieves guilds, which also don't quite work since I don't really want my PCs to gain renown with these guilds, but instead eliminate the guilds after discovering them.

TLDR: Can you point me to any tools for making rival demon gangs that work in the shadows to take over the world?

Seeking Advice Recommendations for adventures?

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I just entered DMs Guild for the first time because I often find myself disappointed with the official 5e campaigns. My main issue is that many of them feel disjointed, with dull openings and uninteresting clichés that make me lose interest in carrying the story forward. The campaign I've enjoyed the most has been Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, as it’s very focused on narrative, has a strong opening, and involves players with a main plot. I also enjoyed The Wild Beyond the Witchlight because I love fable-like settings, and I’d love to try more adventures in this style.

If anyone experienced knows of well-regarded adventures that might match my tastes, I would be extremely grateful! I’m eager to start a new adventure with my group of friends, and I’d like it to be in D&D since it's a system I understand well and really enjoy.

New Release New Artificer Subclass- The Gadgeteer - Blast away the competition with a variety of Magic Guns and Gadgets

2 Upvotes

https://www.dmsguild.com/product/501135/Gadgeteer-ArtificerA-new-artificer-subclass-for-DD-55?affiliate_id=4385781

I recently published a new Artificer subclass, The Gadgeteer. This subclass was inspired by the many guns of the Ratchet and Clank series and focuses on the creation or and usage of various Magic Guns and Gadgets. Provided with the subclass is a list of devices you can create. These devices will improve and gain new properties as you level up, providing an incentive to stick with a character. You may also give these guns to your fellow party members should you wish. For example, your Goliath Barbarian can wield a Gun shaped like a dragon that blasts balls of hellfire at your foes.

I will likely come up with more gadgets in the future so there probably be more lists of Guns and Gadgets to use. This gear is also designed to work as separate items so DM's also get something out of this madness.

If you choose to check this homebrew out, thanks. I hope you enjoy it.

A monster supplement for use in the Forgotten Realms.

Everyone in the Realms has heard the stories of the feared Dracolich, and how an evil dragon transforms itself into an undead creature of pure evil. Fewer still have heard the tales about other dragons transformed into undead creatures.

From dragon wraiths to zombie dragons, ghost dragons to dragon vampires, the number of undead types of dragon are as varied as any undead type.

Contains stat blocks for eight unique undead dragons, including the Bonelord Dragon, and for one unique legendary undead dragon.

Although created with the Forgotten Realms in mind, this supplement is usable in any campaign setting.

New Release The Labor of the Deep Wraiths

The Labor of the Deep Wraiths is a level 3+ adventure set in the Forgotten Realms. Players are recruited by Kent of Blackenwald, a retired master thief, to find a cure for his henchman, Adric, who has been sentenced to hang after being cursed with lycanthropy. As they investigate, players uncover eerie mysteries around Lake Lyral, where strange metallic sounds and glowing lights indicate the presence of “deep wraiths” working far below the surface.

Taking players from the village of Elfstone into the Flamecrystal Caverns, an ancient elven burial site where the so-called deep wraiths are already engaged in fighting with a necromantic cult, The Labor of the Deep Wraiths contains combat encounters, puzzles, traps, skill challenges, treasures, and ample opportunities for roleplaying.

Can be played as a standalone one-shot or as part of a larger campaign.
