For those who haven't seen it, or missed the announcement, not only is the Gunslinger Martial Archetype now available on DnD Beyond, but the new Feat "Firearm Specialist" is as well! Really helpful for Gunslingers, but also useful for general firearm use.

Found yourself in a problematic group?

Walking away from the table at any moment is an acceptable practice, one which I fully support. Your mental health is more important than the game. No matter what.

There are always more compatible groups out there. Always. 💜

I just... holy shit. D&D spell slots is a perfect fucking metaphor for spoon theory.

[Walrock Homebrew | BLM | 💗💜💙 @WalrockHomebrew]

I've used spoon theory for a good long while as an easy way to explain how my anxiety functions.

So of course I'm going to retweet something that explains spoon theory in #dnd terms. https://t.co/GyzH7J62m4

If you think the statement “Don’t put kids in cages” is political, you have some pretty wretched political beliefs.

Discussing campaign preparations, I had this interesting argument with another DM:
"How can you expect players to roll characters if you haven't build a world for them first?
To which I replied:
"How can you build a world before you know what characters will be in it?"

Further into Mordenkainen's Tome of Eyes, we come across Balthran Googlyheart - who's eyes are only outdone by his extravagant hair and body art.

#DnD or wait, is this Warhammer? He looks a lot like a Troll Slayer to be honest. #GooglyRPG

[Shawn Merwin-ish @shawnmerwin]

Another thing I learned at Origins: the @Wizards_DnD is so generous with their time and energy. @Onnatryx @satinephoenix @shellymoo @ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford @Gregtito and so many others interacting with players, DMs, and volunteers is so good for #DnD

A small mine, drawn for a request for a #DnD game. It should appear on the blog in July.

[Axe N Shield @AxeNshield]

Tonight, as the adventures gathered to meet Syndra Silvan, they had to pass through G.A.H.T. meeting (Goblins Are Huminoids Too) held at the famous Coffee Bar, The Sylver Inn & Tavern. Best frappuccino's cappuccino's and Lattes in Baldurs Gate.

[Rob Burman @RobZilla01]

The latest addition to the Abyssal temple of doom. Three regiments of Lower Abyssals finished. Onto the Flamebearers next @manticgames

[Amy Vorpahl ✨🧙‍♀️ @vorpahlsword]

D&D question for y'all: When was the last time you played with material components for spells? Encumbrance? Do you still play with either? How does that go? (I can't for the life of me remember every playing with these mechanics!)
