    If you’re seeing this that means you survived the eclipse, congrats! Another big week of encounters, explainer videos and mini-printing! We’re working through the best spots to find Free STL files for DnD minis, so if you have a favorite let us know.


    DnD Creator Spotlight & Resources

    Mapmaker: We’ve been following Ross McConnell (2-Minute Tabletop) for a while now and this may be one of his most chaotic maps to date: Closet. The joke could have stopped there, but there are several variations of the closet, including a closet full of skulls, a closet on fire, and more! Check it out on the 2-Minute Tabletop site.

    More DM Resources:

    • Random inspiration idea from role_play_chat: A ttrpg but instead of playing heroes you play the dungeon (Threads)
    • What’s a race + class combo where, if a player brings it to a table, you already figure out their entire character’s shtick just from that combo? (Reddit)
    • Came across this Massive DM’s Toolkit this weekend and thought it was an incredible collection, especially for new folks (Reddit)
    • A good thread of lessons learned and how to craft your boss battles in DnD. TL;DR Minions. Hyped up boss killed in 3 hits… How can that be prevented next time. 🙁 (Reddit)
    • 28 Uses For Arcanist’s Magic Aura (Nystul’s) (YouTube)
    • Mailbag – Tools For Compiling Ideas as a First-Time DM (YouTube)
    • Full Deep Dive on Arcanist’s Magic Aura (YouTube)

    Have other creators we should feature? Let us know


    Free NPCs

    • Ranger Ryck – A tabaxi seeks revenge after watching the nobility burn down beautiful forests to make room for things like bigger estates and private swimming pools.

    This Week’s Encounters

    • April’s Fool Day – A queen hosts a jester convention with an explosive finale.
    • Take Me Out To The Skull Game – A strange game of baseball could turn deadly depending on whether or not the party intervenes. Full encounter and mini game in the link.
    • Mr. Blightside – A convict strikes a little too deep in a mine, opening up a passage into the Underdark, releasing a Spawn of Kyuss. How did it end up like this?

    Small Sentence Encounter Ideas

    • Sealed with a Kyuus – Evil demon, locked away. The Kyuus is the thing that’s sealed it. Town is getting really annoyed, looking at the ugly Kyuus
    • Kyuss Kyuss Bang Bang – Val Kill More! …can’t get enough of killing Kyuuses
    • Kyuss, the Cook – Area is starving, needs new source of protein. Kyuss offers his face worms. Cooked up, swear they’re okay. Needs help marketing
    • Kyussing Booth – Good cause, but gross
    • Kyuss, The Band – Groupies disappear. Those who get too close look like they’re rocking out but in reality the worms are taking hold.
    • Thrall of the Wild – Reclusive Druid thrall…lives off-grid but the party must find them after they are the only survivalist that can help with a problem.

    If you have a moment, we’d appreciate it if you could take a quick survey for feedback about what else you’d like to see in these weekly newsletters.
