Dungeons & Dragons (DnD) is the original fantasy tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG). If you’re unfamiliar with these types of games, it’s basically a group of people getting together and creating an epic fantasy story together. DnD provides a structure and rules constraints for making a good story. Random elements such as whether a character’s mighty swing of the sword hits the dragon or not are determined by the rules and dice rolls.
DnD has always had a dedicated community of content-creating fans who enjoy coming up with new game elements like settings, adventure storylines, magical items, types of monsters to fight, etc. The official Dungeons & Dragons website does a good job in streamlining the game and bringing the “homebrew” community together. The site even has a homebrew section allowing content creators to easily create and share popular custom content such as character backgrounds, feats, magic items, monsters, playable species, spells, and subclasses of characters.
DnD has also released a generic version of their rules to allow fans to create their own games using the DnD game system. Then there is the Dungeon Masters Guild where fans can create and sell their own adventures and resources expanding upon DnD’s intellectual property.
With this project, I hope to create content for the vibrant DnD community. All of my work for this project is available at https://stormshock.com/press/dnd/.
