Time to blog!

Hello!
I don't even know if Blogger is still being used, but it looked like a nice place to write about the stuff I like and want to share with the world.
If there is no public for my stuff then I don't even care that much, but if there is... TOLD YA MUM I WAS GONNA BE FAMOUS WHEN I GREW UP!

Here I may speak not only about D&D as the webpage's name says (I actually chose that name because dragoneater.blogspot.com was already taken... DAMN YOU MYSTERIOUS BLOGGER!), but also about life hacks, coffee, videogames, game design, programming, tabletop gaming and of course D&D.

Hope you stay for the ride, and hopefully I continue writing long enough to make this a nice looking, useful blog

DM’s toolbox

As a DM, you can approach how you create your universe by using different methods. You take some time (or not) before each of your sessions and prepare something for the players to enjoy. However, even inspired, it may take you quite a lot of time to create the perfect dungeon, city, NPC, a name, or some weird area. For this, and much more, here I’ll list you my intensive list of resources to get stuff from quickly, so you don’t have to carry all the heavy weight from worldbuilding on your shoulders.

Just tell the webpage how many party members there are, which level they are in and start adding monsters to see how difficult the encounter will be for your players, plus the amount of xp they will earn for completing it. Take this with a grain of salt though, as CR isn’t often the best way

Guide to creating your own heist

You have 2:30 hours to infiltrate the gala, locate the papers secured behind a well guarded door in the host’s office. You must not be seen and no casualties should occur if possible. A carriage will be waiting for you in the backyard. Everybody likes a good heist, but it is often seen as something very difficult to accomplish in D&D. Having heard that the new adventure Waterdeep: Dragon Heist didn’t feature any actual heist, I thought I could design one myself. For these, I rewatched some of the most well known heist movies and took notes from the ones from GTA V (which are the ones I decided to take more from).   By TheGryph   Time limit (optional) Having a time limit is more of a flavor thing as most things in a heist happen almost immediately or in few minutes. However, it puts a sense of pressure in your players. Make them succeed at the last second and you’ll see how they start cheering. Having a map (optional) I’ve found out heists work entirel

Easily create NPCs or enemies

The group of adventurers arrive to your recently crafted city , and go to the local tavern in search of rumors about the Lich they are looking for. You didn't really expect  your players to go there as soon as they got to the city and now want to create some random (possibly memorable) patrons that frequent the place without telling your players you didn't have time to create this part of the city. Benjie Art For this, I like to guide myself using the following methods: If you have enough time to prepare: DMG The Dungeon Master’s Guide (DMG) from Wizards of the Coast is often underappreciated when it does include lots of great things to help the DM, one of this being the Creating Non Player Characters chapter (DMG Chapter 4). There you will find a great amount of tips on creating them, and tables you can roll in to make a random deep NPC.
