Adventuring can be hard and so can coming up with an idea for your RPG campaign, so let me share with you some ideas that I have had that you can use!

Writing backstories for your D&D character

What is it that makes a great hero origin story? Is it the beginning, describing where they came from? The catalyst, the tragedy or triumph that defined their turning point? The topic of what makes an interesting character backstory that matters in your roleplay isn’t far from what makes historical backstories or those found in novels interesting and functional.

Human – A guide to D&D Races Humans are an often-overlooked Race in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), the butt of the joke, the ‘boring’ option, but the key word that applies to Humans is versatility. Humans are the most adaptable and changeable of all the D&D Races/ancestries and can be a great starting point for new players – or a challenge for more experienced ones. Lore and Heritage Human lore and heritage are without a doubt the most diverse of all the possible choices. With all of existing Hum
