Tis the season for celebration - from October 31st to January 1st there are quite a few holidays packed into a relatively short time frame. Halloween, depending on how far back in history you go, is said to be the night when the veil between worlds is the thinnest, and so terrifying monsters may appear. Best dress up in a scary costume of your own to keep them at bay! Thanksgiving originated with group who lived under religious oppression, fled to another continent, nearly all died, but survived and threw a celebration to commemorate their survival. Christmas is an amalgamation of old pagan traditions from Roman, Germanic, Scandinavian, Druidic, and Egyptian cultures, all incorporated into a Christianic narrative. New Year's Day is January 1st. The day in which the calendar restarts. This calendar was implemented by Julius, Caesar of Rome, about 2,070 years ago. It is meant to be a time of reflection on the past and hope for the future. January is named after the Roman god Janus, who is often depicted as having two faces; one looking forwards (into the future) and one looking back (into the past)! All this begs the question: 》DMs: What is one holiday that exists in your world? And, more importantly, what little bit of lore makes it meaningful? 》Players: What kinds of holidays are you/your characters aware of, and what significance do they hold in your character's eyes?

Just saw this crazy video and thought, this is so cool, what are your opinions on this https://youtu.be/o_47GtQNB8A?feature=shared

Hey everyone i made a YouTube channel about dnd, and it would be extremely helpful if you guys wrote some of the things you want advice on and problems you face when playing dnd. Also i would be very grateful for some feedback on the channel itself https://www.youtube.com/@echoesofcreation3

So I like to do this on whatever D&D forums I join, both to illicit those sweet nostalgic memories, and to help myself and others in their own gaming. I'll ask questions about past games you've played or DM'd, and everyone is invited to reply with their answer. This one is for DMs and players. (I am referring to non-romantic love in this question.) 》DMs: Who was one NPC you made that your players just loved? What did they love about that NPC? Was your intention in creating that NPC to have your players interact so much, or was it kind of "throw away" NPC you made up in the moment. Did your NPC's life change due to the players getting more involved than you thought they would? 》Players: Who was one NPC you DM made that you loved? What was it about that NPC that got your attention? Is there a particular moment you find extremely memorable you'd like to share?

Hello Everyone! As the name suggests, this is D&D: One Stop Shop. The efforts are to organize this one website to have all the resources you want and need for D&D. There are multiple websites out there with information and updates on D&D. Our attempt is to bring these crucial websites together in one place for your convenience. Classrooms are split into "Official D&D YouTube videos" (Wizards of the Coast has their videos scattered all over, I've attempted to pull them together in a "chronological order") The additional classrooms will be split into future categories (ex. Home Brew, Cooking, Cosplay, etc.) So, stay tuned as we continue to expand. If you have specific interests, you would like to see added. Please, reach out and help us grow this community into the best group out there!
