so I’ve been meaning to put this on tumblr and keep forgetting but, in the campaign I’m running my sister is playing an orc fighter, and one of the options you can pick for a fighter’s signature weapon is that it “glows in the presence of [fill in the blank].”

I was like, “oh, that’s funny because it’s a reference to that sword in The Hobbit that glows in the presence of orcs. Your weapon probably doesn’t glow in the presence of orcs.”

to which she responded, “FUCK YEAH it does.”

So now we have in the party an orc fighter with a club that glows in the presence of orcs. Or, as far as the character is concerned, a club that glows. It’s been in her family for generations since some ancestor won it in a battle, and it’s just always glowed. She has a sack to put it in when she’s trying to be stealthy.

#orcs in LotR don’t know that Sting doesn’t glow#that is crazy#they think elves and hobbits just carry glowing swords#for the Aesthetic#and if you know enough elves that probably makes sense to you!#sparkly drama queens would probably make their hair glow if they could

my favorite thing about dungeons and dragons is that you can study for it alone, wherever you are, and also the fact that i found an entire database of free resources about 5.0  that are basically all you need to play except for an actual campaign lol

I see your free resources with no campaigns and raise you This 

If you’re unfamilar with D&D or want a less complicated version, I recommend Fate. https://fate-srd.com You can print out  out the character sheets or just keep them on hand in a PDF / image file. The rules are a bit more fast and loose, but still really fun!

D&D 5e Character Creation Flow Charts: Backgrounds and Classes

This only includes the backgrounds included in the Player’s Handbook Mind you, so no SCAG options.

Class one doesn’t assume archetype obviously. 

A fun little project I made after work today, I thought it might be helpful for players newer to the system in choosing their character’s options, or just a fun little tool.

This is neat

i was literally searching for something like this a couple of days ago. i WILL be using this when i have newbies to run through a game!
