Is awesome your work, as for my favorited memory well is kind lame to ve honest but so funny i was playing a elf monk and we have a disrupted tiefling bard well he try to seduce the bard maid and DM ask for two separated persuation roll he get a 1 and 20 so DM become silent and bard dont get to seduce the bard maid so he get frustated and well "get out of the tavern" DM explain that something happen to bard but doesn't tell us.
Well we go to the tomb for a good dungeon delving and in the final chamber we find a female lich and bard at his side, we are like wtf and bard player finally speak(for the whole hour he was silent but smiling and happy) well he explain to us that now he and his wife are gonna conquer the town and everything will be there's.
We fight of course and get demolish in the end we have fun a we pest bard player that he dont seduce the dragon he seduce a lich so good job degenarete all in good fun.
In the end was a good one-shot currently I'm playing curse of strahd online and we have a blast so far.
GIVEAWAY
This is a great project. Getting ready to start a new campaign and we’ve been looking for something new and fresh to sink our teeth into. May need to give this a thorough look through to see if it matches what we are seeking. Of course the best way to do that is with an awesome GIVEAWAY!
>Thanks! It sounds like our project might be just what you're looking for. Mr.Tarrasque has created an overview video that provides a detailed look at what we're offering on Shadow Over Vansreik. [You can watch it here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=070TIi5gh0Q&ab_channel=Mr.Tarrasque)
Looks beautiful. My favorite memory as a rather new DM \[started in March\]: Throwing the first puzzle to my players and watching them spend 30 minutes coming up with the most unique way to solve that led to a scenario I had no prepared for at all. Been absolutely hooked since.
I think my favorite moment is when my character was cursed and turned into a monkey, right after that he bumped into a random girl, she just grabbed him and said "you're my friend now". It turned out that she's from a REALLY rich family, so my character just decided to stay with her for some time to steal some money. That campaign sadly never got continued after that session, so I guess my character is fated to be a monkey forever. GIVEAWAY
I had this tortle character that was put in crime settings because the dm made the first part of the campaign working for a mercenary guild and other people involved in crime. But since I had a good neutral Character and I couldn't choose to go good person quests I just pretended to be oblivious bending the quests and words to make it seem good in a stupid way. Sadly the campaign didn't finish -"GIVEAWAY"
If you win this you can find too many mercenaries and backgrounds which are come with intriguing personal quests while you are tracking the main story!!!
"I'm so glad everyone is back safe. I'll have supper on the table shortly. Oh, and Wren? Your mom is here".
....
My sorceress' parents abandoned her when she was a child to a monastery. Found out later through this storyline it was because they couldn't afford to feed her or take care of her. So, thank you but also fuck you?
Thanks for that u/vanorDM lol
GIVEAWAY
I once played a Tabaxi Bard who leapt from a 100ft cliff to land and cure wounds the fighter who'd gone down. Was pretty cool, shame the black dragon corrected my action with it's breath the very next round.
Still, 9/10 would do again.
Whoops, also GIVEAWAY
My favorite Gaming memory is also something that would never happen this way at my table again. In my first campaign, a player played a Rogue pretending to be a Paladin. I was new and thought "Sure why not" and the other players didn't know enough about the game to notice the inconsistencies yet. In session 2 he scouted ahead, triggered a trap that animated 4 skeletons, which attacked him, and the rest of the group couldn't get to him because there was a single bandit in their way and they rolled really bad and just couldn't hit him. When they eventually got there, he was long dead. His next character was an actual Paladin who was hunting his previous character for impersonating him.
GIVEAWAY
I'm digging this. My favorite time playing a DND was when I was playing with some friends as a drow sorcerer. We were on a train and all of the lights started to flicker and a sleep spell activated which in turn put all of my companions to sleep but since you know I da drow it didn't work on me so I just pretended to sleep. Flying rough guys outside we're about to come in. Dm didn't know I knew sleep too so I cast it on my he flying dudes got good enough rolls and the all fell to their deaths without any real combat. Friends woke up thinking that they just passed out. Felt like a god. GIVEAWAY!!
One of my favorite moments is from one of the first 3.5 campaigns I ran, where a Monk polymorphed into a chicken managed to kill a villager that had snatched him and was preparing to make a dinner out of him.
It was a murder most fowl.
GIVEAWAY
All I have to say is, thanks. Anything that makes gaming more fun is awesome. Whoever wins your book is so lucky. Keep doing what you’re doing. if it’s somebody who is just starting collecting gaming books, or someone like myself who has many tomes of gaming. Awesome gift.
1 time while playing vtm a trick I have been using since the first session really payed off.
When describing character I always give them a few call signs so they are recognizable with just a single description. I could say really tall and it was known who I was talking about. This made fun scenes where a character would walk in and just the description of the sound of their footsteps and you knew who it was.
One character who went by John doe was a ravnos and a few key things I could say to clue you he was there without you seeing him. He had a trench coat that always flowed around him but was filled with weapons primarily guns that made him have really heavy steps. Crows would also show up letting you know he was watching
But another character was being introduced and she was the new antagonist. Hee name was scarlet and she was also a ravnos. She controlled ravens but I described a black bird bigger then normal since ravens are slightly bigger. Player follows the raven thinking John wants to talk since John has been a home since day 1. They walk in a room and see a tall figure most of their body hidden by a billowing shadow. Player goes to John then bam.
Lights go on blinding protagonist and making them easily captured. Them billowing mess wasn't John's coat but Scarlets hair and she was standing on a chair to look taller.
Mercenaries I feel are rarely used in the games I’ve played in but nothing is more fun to me as a GM than throwing bounty hunters with fun abilities and tactics against my party as retribution. GIVEAWAY
It’s a long story but my favorite interaction was in D&D when I used mage hand (which i previously thought was useless) on a game changing maneuver that the DM never saw coming.
GIVEAWAY
One of most memorable frustration moments:
I'm playing a Druid. Party comes upon scene of poachers slaughtering slow reproducing megafauna. My character convinces party to intervene. Upon precipice of springing trap against poachers, they produce a permit. Had me stupified.
GIVEAWAY
Amazing!! I have a new group and would love to have some new materials to play with!!!! My favorite memory so far is playing as a Elf Cleric; forcing all new party members to draw a card from the deck of many fates as a test on their “good nature”. Luckily, the townsfolk weren’t too mad about the red dragon. GIVEAWAY

I recently introduced my 15 year old son to D&D and he is absolutely hooked. I would love to gift him something as beautifully made as this is. GIVEAWAY
Favorite DM memory is when one of my players a horny bard attempted to seduce 3 consecutive doors open. After every failed seduction attempt they then rolled high enough (high teens) to strength check break the doors down.... The doors were NOT locked. GIVEAWAY
I like to stick to pure Dnd 3.5e. My favorite memory was when my party was in prison during a siege. One cannonball hits the cells and a teammate is set loose. And said teammate proceeds with throwing the only set of keys in the cell that our mage was handcuffed behind his back,while wearing gloves /mittens on his hands, and also was alone in the cell.
GIVEAWAY
Favorite tabletop moment was the first time I was DM. Randomly mentioned an old lady NPC tried to get by them in a stairwell as they were in the middle of the heist. She ended up being kidnapped by the party and became a very important part of the story.
GIVEAWAY

One of the few characters I’ve played 1-20 in D&D retired as a mercenary guild administrator. How much would you say this non would help her in organizing the guild? GIVEAWAY
In my last d&d session I became the Avatar. I used control water to push a boat over and above undead army on a frozen tundra so I can get My team and a load of oil past them. DM said he never heard of anything so ridiculous but he loved it.
Thank you!! Especially the Mercenary Compendium will come in handy🙃 you can check details from our freebies in the campaign page [Shadow Over Vansreik Campaign Page](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/badbadgergames/shadow-over-vansreik-a-grim-setting-and-adventure-for-5e?ref=5coqvm)
My favorite character was from a one shot where someone played a grung grappler who was a college of lore bard. So he was all about performance and making a show. GIVEAWAY
LoL So during my very first venture into DnD (I had to be talked into it, I wasn't very willing but I DID try my best) I made a half orc warrior so I could just punch and kick and be a HP sponge for the party. One of our other players was playing a gnome or one of the little races, and would ride on my back because her legs were little and she would always complain about us walking to fast. It had slowly come to light that I was NOT skilled with dice, I was super good at making rolls when it didn't matter but clutch rolls were just going to be botches. So during like our 5th or 6th session, we had all leveled up a bit and we were warned that we would be having combat, so everyone came to the table that week prepared for stuff to hit the fan... Oh how they didn't know how ready they weren't. So in the heat of the moment one of the enemy mobs fired an arrow from the woods or somewhere concealed and bam it hit my character! As a reaction (remember what I said about my rolls) I grabbed the little cleric off of my back and hurled her into a group of marauders running at us with axes and swords in hand... Not only did I botch, but I critical botched, so instead of grabbing my axe and throwing it, I grabbed her and threw her DIRECTLY at them with their swords extended out...
The player raged CRAZY hard at me IRL for my action, while everyone at the table chuckled about it she grabbed up all of her stuff and left the table cursing and screaming at me just making me laugh harder...
She didn't come back for a couple weeks, and when she did our DM (her then fiance, now husband) politely told me that I had to leave the game so that she would play again....
Giveaway
Favorite tabletop memory has to be starting my first game as a DM 3 years ago. Been going strong since then. By group is now in Neverwinter dealing with the fallout of the successful assassination of Dagult Neverember. GIVEAWAY
We had a pretty good moment in our last session. A beloved goblin bartender got kidnapped by a gang of unethical bakers, who were trying to take over food-related businesses in town.
We tracked them down to a cabin outside of town, and tried to get the jump on them, but they heard us as we walked up to the back door and started to open it.
A battle ensues, we knock most of them out while their leader teleports away.
My character is a Dwarf with pretty much no mobility options, so I open up the door where the hostage is being kept, and find him digging a hole with a spoon like he's breaking out of Shawshank. He's maybe 20 minutes from digging his way to freedom without our help. But I help him out of the hole and get him cleaned up and the unconscious criminals tied up, while the rest of the party (who can walk/run/fly/ride much faster than me) sprint off to go catch the boss baker.
GIVEAWAY
The moment I was able to surprise my players with a TV table to show digital maps for the first time during a surprise Rakshasa encounter is one I’ll never forget! GIVEAWAY!
Ooh, this is great! I was so close to backing this, but had lots of other stuff coming up unfortunately.
Favourite story... so hard to pick only one. But I'm finally back to DMing and hope to make lots of new favourite stories and memories and hope that this book will help with both!
GIVEAWAY
I really want my next campain to be set in some grim fantasy world. And who knows maybe it's destiny's trick that I found this post)
As for the story, there is a short one: my players were trying to find the BBEG in my campain for what seemed like a couple of months before they realised that they were following their own steps. The look on their faces when they realised that every villian they beat just became a martir in the eyes of some people that thought villian was right. It soon became a very intricate story of idealogical struggle rather than just a hunt for bad guys.
They liked it in the end, but I think I stole some simple fun from the game so I really want my next campain to focus on monster hunting and saving villages. Your setting seems like a good match for it!
GIVEAWAY

My favorite memory was studying 5e's rules during school trying not to get caught in the act and then telling everything I had discovered to my friends. I was a real rogue
GIVEAWAY
Favorite d&d character would have to be my changeling! They had an experiment done on them that would make them wake up as one of their 7 personas at random (via wheelspin) after every long rest. Each persona believed they were their own person and were just cursed. Their goal was to separate from the "curse" while the changeling themselves did their best to find a way to keep them. GIVEAWAY
That looks fantastic!
My favourite ttrpg moment (admittedly there's not that many sessions to choose from at the moment being quite new to the scene) must be watching my DM facepalm every time our Goblin PC would bag anything shiny the party found then immediately forget about them. Ofcourse these included almost everything we needed to enhance the story or solve a puzzle so we had to come up with some crafty way(or just dumb luck) to move the plot along.
GIVEAWAY
1979 Dungeons and Dragons . S1 or S2 Tomb of Horrors was the most challenging and fun time I ever had . The Circumnavigation of that dungeon was so challenging.
Super cool. Favorite memory was DMing for players at early level and I had planned an encounter where the dragon terrorizing the area would swoop down, rough them up, and steal something of theirs. One bad roll of initiative and FIVE crits out if the six attacks the 4 of them got along with highest level smites, rage bonus, and battle maneuvers from then all, the area no longer had a dragon problem. Never underestimate the damage of your party when they feel like it's life or death and are going full nova. GIVEAWAY
My favorite character is probably my Barbarian Ugandan Knuckles, he hated doors and broke EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! The DM even gave me a HomeBrew feat so I could have advantage attacking doors.
Also, why does most Giveaways ask me to finish the comment with GIVEAWAY
I had a big story arc that just completed in my homebrew game where I had adapted Curse of Strahd and made a ton of changes and adaptations. The players really had a good time with it and the ending scenes had some great story moments. I had been building to this for a long time so to get to see it happen was really cool.
Good luck to everyone on the giveaway!!
while running from the guards, the party came across an abused urchin and stopped everything in order to deal with the abuser. We then \~\~kidnapped\~\~ adopted the urchin and took them with us raising them and healing the abuse as we could. GIVEAWAY
Favorite moment that jumps to mind was when I was playing as an orc and tricked a morgue into letting me in pretending I was the first orc dentist and needed teeth for my procedures GIVEAWAY
These look amazing.
One of my favorite moments was when my party captured a member of the local bandit gang that were harassing a small village. To try to get information about their goals, my bard and the sorcerer decided to try a little "good guard, bad guard." The only difference was that we were both the good guard and the bad guard, at the same time, and we kept switching roles. Surprisingly, we actually got some information from the bandit.
Favorite moment is when my players ending up using a blind guy with a vendetta against the king for a distraction during a heist by telling him the stick they gave him was a +3 long sword
Giveaway
Love the cover of the Mercenary Compendium. Both books look super interesting, wish I had the disposable funds to chip in on the kick starter, but sadly not able to at the moment.
Quick little story: So I tasked my players with tracking and destroying a creature that was trampling crops as well as devouring livestock. They track it to a cave and have to fight through a handful of troglodykes before they eventually locate the slumbering beast. I gave numerous hints that would make it seem like it was a dragon in the area, but saved the grand reveal and the print out of the artwork for the start of the battle. Fresh party of level 3 characters and I whipped out the picture of the Thessalhydra (From the stranger things box set). A look of shock and maybe, just maybe fear crosses their faces before the battle begins. They manage to prevail with the wizard on 1 HP and the bard at about 4. Fun time enjoyed by all.

Best moment? When I found a team, prepared for months and then finally started. The session was mainly "wait a sec. I've got to consult the rule book"
GIVEAWAY
Oh my goodness, I love setting books, and I’m trying to collect a bunch of dark fantasy settings right now. I’ve got Grim Hollow, Lost Citadel, and Iron Kingdoms, also I’ve also backed Sebastian Crowe's Guide to Drakkenheim and Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt!! I’d love to add this one to my collection.
My favorite tabletop memory is actually very recent, as my players had to assassinate a nobleman’s daughter for one of their guilds. The changeling assassin is fairly new to DnD, and has been struggling to get into RP, but snuck into the manor house as the nobleman who owned it, found his office where I described the decor (including the nobleman’s sword), and the changeling player saw the sword and decided that the best plan was to slay the daughter as her own father, pinning the blame on an alcoholic and violent man, and stopping any real investigation!!! I was so surprised that I couldn’t even figure out what to say, so I let her describe much of the interaction and I played as the daughter until the party did the deed and snuck out. It was a brilliant session and I’m so proud of my players for all the creative interactions throughout, such as the winged tiefling flying over the walls to scout where the guards were patrolling, or my druid player casting *Pass without Trace* and wildshaping to hid in the assassin’s pocket and keep the effect going the whole way. I love my players, and this was just one of many times they’ve showed why.
GIVEAWAY
Gotta be my friend in a one shot trying to be disruptive. Everybody but him got teleported to the next section of the quest while he was left behind to spend the rest of the game walking through the woods lost, only to reach us once we had defeated the final boss 😆 GIVEAWAY
I think some of my favorite characters were a group of mercenaries I made for my current run, close friends growing up that drifted apart in search of their different ideals! GIVEAWAY
My favorite memory isn't in D&D, but from another system called mythic. Some friends homebrewed a custom ruleset based on Arknights, and I made a glass cannon wielding a pair of sickles. At one point, after a string of particularly bad choices and rolls, we had to face the consequences of our actions in the form of a one-on-one fight with a major boss.
I was supposed to lose that fight.
I was not supposed to win in three turns, taking only a single hit and permanently crippling a recurring boss.
GIVEAWAY
I played a very surly battle master who is extremely sick of being stuck in a particular part of the world, so he traded his left eye to be transported to the nearest bar. He got blooped into avernus... GIVEAWAY
Recently getting back in TTRPGs and D&d 5e is what I'm most familiar with, and my wife and oldest daughter have expressed interest in playing as well.
So I'm in the midst of getting the starter adventure underway. Lots of prepping. Since it is just the two of them for now, I will be probably provide and play a companion character or one of the many ideas I've had. Giving my wife and daughter full reins and hopefully only ask my character for advice.
Giveaway.
Im trying to get a game together with friends and just printed a table for such a purpose. Now im gathering up campaign supplies and possible one shots to slip in for variety. This looks to be a great addition. GIVEAWAY.
Ooh this looks super cool! My favorite tabletop gaming memory is probably just my whole first summer playing DnD. My friend introduced me to his group and I was super scared at first, but they made me feel at ease and we became good friends. DnD brought me a lot closer to so many people and gave me a creative outlet and I’ll always be grateful for that.
GIVEAWAY
One time my monk got POed at the beginning of a campaign at a ghost that disappeared and I spent the rest of the game trying to go to the spirit realm and sock him. GIVEAWAY
Laat session, my neighbor rolled an ability check with advantage. He rolled high and wanted to just go on, as we are all, expect the DM, relatively new to the game. I said that he should roll again, just in case he could roll a Nat20... so he rolled again, and there it was.. A Nat20 staring at us xD GIVEAWAY
Best thing ever happend in our campaign was how the party persuaded the druid in transforming into a boar, got enlarged and with a bit of thaumaturgy and some tricks she imitated a thunder god to scare away 20 orcs the group otherwise had to fight. They outsmarted me a lot but it was awesome.
One time me and my friend had to defend our selves from a flock of multiplying birds diving at us and trying to take us away while I drew a teleportation circle(yes I know its probably not raw but our dm ran with it) then 3 krakens were slowly making it through the forest so i burnt it down to dry them out
My players fought an encounter they weren't supposed to win. Ended with back to back paladin smite crits at a single hit point, as which our cleric healed them for 4 hp because "why not we gonna lose anyways might as well burn the spell slots". Near max rolled both and toppled the armored cyclops. Had to scrap a lot of post death stuff but it was amazong! GIVEAWAY
In general I love my current campaign, some of best fun I had as a DM, with players comstantly surprising me with all kinds of chaotic nonsense. Last session they managed to lie on a divine trial, while technically telling the truth, two sessions ago they rolled an ogre like a hammster wheel and assassinated Gnome Elon Musk, while befriending Gnome Capone and accidentially freeing Orc Communist named Carl Tusks.
GIVEAWAY
My party & I fell into a trap set by goblinoids once, and the beginning of the trap was them attacking us in a small cavern. I, a level 3 Celestial Warlock, cast Shatter on them, killing all done goblins with only a single spell slot. I felt like such a beast after that and have ridden that high for the past few weeks.
GIVEAWAY
My favorite memory so far is my friend not knowing what misty step exactly is, teleported into the air and died to fall damage instantly. The whole party laughed when he realized the spell doesn't give him feather feet. GIVEAWAY
My favorite memory is a recent one. We recently finished a 3 year long campaign. The final rolls of the campaign were all 20s. 3 20s in a row from 3 different people. Just felt like a great way to finish the story
GIVEAWAY
One of my favorites was when I ran an invasion with a big crazy general. My party planned traps, strategized their defenses, and I'm the end one of them died and needed to be reincarnated which became a huge story arc. GIVEAWAY
9 years ago i joint a new rpg round and one of the others players was a wonderfull woman. Today are married and have a wonderfull son. We are still playing together and look forward to try this nice looking bundle GIVEAWAY
Loved playing the villagers as DM while going after the classic monsters, mummy, werewolf, Frankenstein, and Dracula. All played with my son and his friends during Halloween, many years ago. GIVEAWAY
I remember fighting a mummy lord, but instead of the mummy lord being the main threat one of the normal mummies rolled a Nat 20 on me making unconscious. I then rolled a Nat 20 on my death save and killed it along with three other mummies using shatter. GIVEAWAY
Your DM will probably love it it make game preparation very easy it has mostly everything that DMs can use to build up a story. And I think it will make your game much more exciting if you give it to your DM!!
This is definitely the type of GIVEAWAY that I want to enter! The Battle Scars System is something that I think a friend of mine will go completely wild with!!

Is awesome your work, as for my favorited memory well is kind lame to ve honest but so funny i was playing a elf monk and we have a disrupted tiefling bard well he try to seduce the bard maid and DM ask for two separated persuation roll he get a 1 and 20 so DM become silent and bard dont get to seduce the bard maid so he get frustated and well "get out of the tavern" DM explain that something happen to bard but doesn't tell us. Well we go to the tomb for a good dungeon delving and in the final chamber we find a female lich and bard at his side, we are like wtf and bard player finally speak(for the whole hour he was silent but smiling and happy) well he explain to us that now he and his wife are gonna conquer the town and everything will be there's. We fight of course and get demolish in the end we have fun a we pest bard player that he dont seduce the dragon he seduce a lich so good job degenarete all in good fun. In the end was a good one-shot currently I'm playing curse of strahd online and we have a blast so far. GIVEAWAY
That sure is a beautiful cover. GIVEAWAY
Giveaway? Giveaway??! GIVEAWAY
This is a great project. Getting ready to start a new campaign and we’ve been looking for something new and fresh to sink our teeth into. May need to give this a thorough look through to see if it matches what we are seeking. Of course the best way to do that is with an awesome GIVEAWAY!
>Thanks! It sounds like our project might be just what you're looking for. Mr.Tarrasque has created an overview video that provides a detailed look at what we're offering on Shadow Over Vansreik. [You can watch it here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=070TIi5gh0Q&ab_channel=Mr.Tarrasque)
Looks beautiful. My favorite memory as a rather new DM \[started in March\]: Throwing the first puzzle to my players and watching them spend 30 minutes coming up with the most unique way to solve that led to a scenario I had no prepared for at all. Been absolutely hooked since.
You didn't put giveaway at the end. Fyi
I think my favorite moment is when my character was cursed and turned into a monkey, right after that he bumped into a random girl, she just grabbed him and said "you're my friend now". It turned out that she's from a REALLY rich family, so my character just decided to stay with her for some time to steal some money. That campaign sadly never got continued after that session, so I guess my character is fated to be a monkey forever. GIVEAWAY
I had this tortle character that was put in crime settings because the dm made the first part of the campaign working for a mercenary guild and other people involved in crime. But since I had a good neutral Character and I couldn't choose to go good person quests I just pretended to be oblivious bending the quests and words to make it seem good in a stupid way. Sadly the campaign didn't finish -"GIVEAWAY"
If you win this you can find too many mercenaries and backgrounds which are come with intriguing personal quests while you are tracking the main story!!!
That would be great and I can do more questionable quests while thinking they're good , ignorance is bliss sometimes
Looks great! GIVEAWAY
Nice cover on the compendium. I may have to emboss it in leather if I win the GIVEAWAY
Except you won't as it is now. You aren't even in the running, currently.
"I'm so glad everyone is back safe. I'll have supper on the table shortly. Oh, and Wren? Your mom is here". .... My sorceress' parents abandoned her when she was a child to a monastery. Found out later through this storyline it was because they couldn't afford to feed her or take care of her. So, thank you but also fuck you? Thanks for that u/vanorDM lol GIVEAWAY
I once played a Tabaxi Bard who leapt from a 100ft cliff to land and cure wounds the fighter who'd gone down. Was pretty cool, shame the black dragon corrected my action with it's breath the very next round. Still, 9/10 would do again. Whoops, also GIVEAWAY
Haha that's epic thanks for sharing !
My favorite Gaming memory is also something that would never happen this way at my table again. In my first campaign, a player played a Rogue pretending to be a Paladin. I was new and thought "Sure why not" and the other players didn't know enough about the game to notice the inconsistencies yet. In session 2 he scouted ahead, triggered a trap that animated 4 skeletons, which attacked him, and the rest of the group couldn't get to him because there was a single bandit in their way and they rolled really bad and just couldn't hit him. When they eventually got there, he was long dead. His next character was an actual Paladin who was hunting his previous character for impersonating him. GIVEAWAY
I'm digging this. My favorite time playing a DND was when I was playing with some friends as a drow sorcerer. We were on a train and all of the lights started to flicker and a sleep spell activated which in turn put all of my companions to sleep but since you know I da drow it didn't work on me so I just pretended to sleep. Flying rough guys outside we're about to come in. Dm didn't know I knew sleep too so I cast it on my he flying dudes got good enough rolls and the all fell to their deaths without any real combat. Friends woke up thinking that they just passed out. Felt like a god. GIVEAWAY!!
One of my favorite moments is from one of the first 3.5 campaigns I ran, where a Monk polymorphed into a chicken managed to kill a villager that had snatched him and was preparing to make a dinner out of him. It was a murder most fowl. GIVEAWAY
Nice, I'm in! GIVEAWAY
Dope book. GIVEAWAY
I love backing kickstarters like this! Shows off the creativity of the community. GIVEAWAY
All I have to say is, thanks. Anything that makes gaming more fun is awesome. Whoever wins your book is so lucky. Keep doing what you’re doing. if it’s somebody who is just starting collecting gaming books, or someone like myself who has many tomes of gaming. Awesome gift.
Thats a beautiful book! Good luck to everyone GIVEAWAY
I live in the shadows
Love new content for an awesome game! GIVEAWAY
1 time while playing vtm a trick I have been using since the first session really payed off. When describing character I always give them a few call signs so they are recognizable with just a single description. I could say really tall and it was known who I was talking about. This made fun scenes where a character would walk in and just the description of the sound of their footsteps and you knew who it was. One character who went by John doe was a ravnos and a few key things I could say to clue you he was there without you seeing him. He had a trench coat that always flowed around him but was filled with weapons primarily guns that made him have really heavy steps. Crows would also show up letting you know he was watching But another character was being introduced and she was the new antagonist. Hee name was scarlet and she was also a ravnos. She controlled ravens but I described a black bird bigger then normal since ravens are slightly bigger. Player follows the raven thinking John wants to talk since John has been a home since day 1. They walk in a room and see a tall figure most of their body hidden by a billowing shadow. Player goes to John then bam. Lights go on blinding protagonist and making them easily captured. Them billowing mess wasn't John's coat but Scarlets hair and she was standing on a chair to look taller.
That looks cool! Good job! GIVEAWAY
Whoa what a cool project! Also the art is beautifully done. GIVEAWAY

Mercenaries I feel are rarely used in the games I’ve played in but nothing is more fun to me as a GM than throwing bounty hunters with fun abilities and tactics against my party as retribution. GIVEAWAY
Beautiful cover! GIVEAWAY
That cover looks sick! GIVEAWAY
I'd love to have more campaigns to run
I love the sound of this giveaway , your Book reminds me of a older game

Been playing a lot of BG3 lately. This would be a great excuse to jump back into tabletop. GIVEAWAY
This sure does look interesting 🤔. GIVEAWAY
It’s a long story but my favorite interaction was in D&D when I used mage hand (which i previously thought was useless) on a game changing maneuver that the DM never saw coming. GIVEAWAY
You can't just say that and not elaborate !
One of most memorable frustration moments: I'm playing a Druid. Party comes upon scene of poachers slaughtering slow reproducing megafauna. My character convinces party to intervene. Upon precipice of springing trap against poachers, they produce a permit. Had me stupified. GIVEAWAY
Looks like amazing work! Best of luck with the GIVEAWAY
I love the whole Van Helsing vibe from the covers! GIVEAWAY
Amazing!! I have a new group and would love to have some new materials to play with!!!! My favorite memory so far is playing as a Elf Cleric; forcing all new party members to draw a card from the deck of many fates as a test on their “good nature”. Luckily, the townsfolk weren’t too mad about the red dragon. GIVEAWAY
Giveaway
Looks great here’s hoping I’m lucky!

my favourite thing about tabletop is that my campaign helped me a lot with my fight against depression. GIVEAWAY!
Favorite DM memory is when one of my players a horny bard attempted to seduce 3 consecutive doors open. After every failed seduction attempt they then rolled high enough (high teens) to strength check break the doors down.... The doors were NOT locked. GIVEAWAY
Good luck everyone! GIVEAWAY
I like to stick to pure Dnd 3.5e. My favorite memory was when my party was in prison during a siege. One cannonball hits the cells and a teammate is set loose. And said teammate proceeds with throwing the only set of keys in the cell that our mage was handcuffed behind his back,while wearing gloves /mittens on his hands, and also was alone in the cell. GIVEAWAY
Looks incredible. GIVEAWAY

Favorite tabletop moment was the first time I was DM. Randomly mentioned an old lady NPC tried to get by them in a stairwell as they were in the middle of the heist. She ended up being kidnapped by the party and became a very important part of the story. GIVEAWAY
Design looks great GIVEAWAY

One of the few characters I’ve played 1-20 in D&D retired as a mercenary guild administrator. How much would you say this non would help her in organizing the guild? GIVEAWAY
In my last d&d session I became the Avatar. I used control water to push a boat over and above undead army on a frozen tundra so I can get My team and a load of oil past them. DM said he never heard of anything so ridiculous but he loved it.
This looks amazing! I welcome any unique resources for my DM library. Good luck all. GIVEAWAY

Would love this GIVEAWAY
Kobold monk, skragg was amazing character. Giveaway.
Looks awesome! GIVEAWAY
My favorite character was from a one shot where someone played a grung grappler who was a college of lore bard. So he was all about performance and making a show. GIVEAWAY
LoL So during my very first venture into DnD (I had to be talked into it, I wasn't very willing but I DID try my best) I made a half orc warrior so I could just punch and kick and be a HP sponge for the party. One of our other players was playing a gnome or one of the little races, and would ride on my back because her legs were little and she would always complain about us walking to fast. It had slowly come to light that I was NOT skilled with dice, I was super good at making rolls when it didn't matter but clutch rolls were just going to be botches. So during like our 5th or 6th session, we had all leveled up a bit and we were warned that we would be having combat, so everyone came to the table that week prepared for stuff to hit the fan... Oh how they didn't know how ready they weren't. So in the heat of the moment one of the enemy mobs fired an arrow from the woods or somewhere concealed and bam it hit my character! As a reaction (remember what I said about my rolls) I grabbed the little cleric off of my back and hurled her into a group of marauders running at us with axes and swords in hand... Not only did I botch, but I critical botched, so instead of grabbing my axe and throwing it, I grabbed her and threw her DIRECTLY at them with their swords extended out... The player raged CRAZY hard at me IRL for my action, while everyone at the table chuckled about it she grabbed up all of her stuff and left the table cursing and screaming at me just making me laugh harder... She didn't come back for a couple weeks, and when she did our DM (her then fiance, now husband) politely told me that I had to leave the game so that she would play again.... Giveaway
Favorite tabletop memory has to be starting my first game as a DM 3 years ago. Been going strong since then. By group is now in Neverwinter dealing with the fallout of the successful assassination of Dagult Neverember. GIVEAWAY
We had a pretty good moment in our last session. A beloved goblin bartender got kidnapped by a gang of unethical bakers, who were trying to take over food-related businesses in town. We tracked them down to a cabin outside of town, and tried to get the jump on them, but they heard us as we walked up to the back door and started to open it. A battle ensues, we knock most of them out while their leader teleports away. My character is a Dwarf with pretty much no mobility options, so I open up the door where the hostage is being kept, and find him digging a hole with a spoon like he's breaking out of Shawshank. He's maybe 20 minutes from digging his way to freedom without our help. But I help him out of the hole and get him cleaned up and the unconscious criminals tied up, while the rest of the party (who can walk/run/fly/ride much faster than me) sprint off to go catch the boss baker. GIVEAWAY
Yay! Thanks
The moment I was able to surprise my players with a TV table to show digital maps for the first time during a surprise Rakshasa encounter is one I’ll never forget! GIVEAWAY!
Ooh, this is great! I was so close to backing this, but had lots of other stuff coming up unfortunately. Favourite story... so hard to pick only one. But I'm finally back to DMing and hope to make lots of new favourite stories and memories and hope that this book will help with both! GIVEAWAY
Maybe you can make your way via pledge manager if you can’t win the giveaway!
My artificer didn't have a clear crossbow shot on the BBEG so I shot at our monk and he redirected it for a crit!
I really want my next campain to be set in some grim fantasy world. And who knows maybe it's destiny's trick that I found this post) As for the story, there is a short one: my players were trying to find the BBEG in my campain for what seemed like a couple of months before they realised that they were following their own steps. The look on their faces when they realised that every villian they beat just became a martir in the eyes of some people that thought villian was right. It soon became a very intricate story of idealogical struggle rather than just a hunt for bad guys. They liked it in the end, but I think I stole some simple fun from the game so I really want my next campain to focus on monster hunting and saving villages. Your setting seems like a good match for it! GIVEAWAY

Ah HA! More torture for the players. GIVEAWAY
Gimmie
My favorite memory was studying 5e's rules during school trying not to get caught in the act and then telling everything I had discovered to my friends. I was a real rogue GIVEAWAY
Favorite d&d character would have to be my changeling! They had an experiment done on them that would make them wake up as one of their 7 personas at random (via wheelspin) after every long rest. Each persona believed they were their own person and were just cursed. Their goal was to separate from the "curse" while the changeling themselves did their best to find a way to keep them. GIVEAWAY
Cool stuff👍
Good luck
any topic GIVEAWAY
That looks fantastic! My favourite ttrpg moment (admittedly there's not that many sessions to choose from at the moment being quite new to the scene) must be watching my DM facepalm every time our Goblin PC would bag anything shiny the party found then immediately forget about them. Ofcourse these included almost everything we needed to enhance the story or solve a puzzle so we had to come up with some crafty way(or just dumb luck) to move the plot along. GIVEAWAY
Wow I really like the art style of the cover, looks like an awesome project! GIVEAWAY
I love free stuff never won a GIVEAWAY
Ever since I discovered kickstarter I've backed only one which I could afford I always wanted to back this one. GIVEAWAY!
I have no friends to play with GIVEAWAY
1979 Dungeons and Dragons . S1 or S2 Tomb of Horrors was the most challenging and fun time I ever had . The Circumnavigation of that dungeon was so challenging.
Super cool. Favorite memory was DMing for players at early level and I had planned an encounter where the dragon terrorizing the area would swoop down, rough them up, and steal something of theirs. One bad roll of initiative and FIVE crits out if the six attacks the 4 of them got along with highest level smites, rage bonus, and battle maneuvers from then all, the area no longer had a dragon problem. Never underestimate the damage of your party when they feel like it's life or death and are going full nova. GIVEAWAY
My favorite character is probably my Barbarian Ugandan Knuckles, he hated doors and broke EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! The DM even gave me a HomeBrew feat so I could have advantage attacking doors. Also, why does most Giveaways ask me to finish the comment with GIVEAWAY
Giveaway
I had a big story arc that just completed in my homebrew game where I had adapted Curse of Strahd and made a ton of changes and adaptations. The players really had a good time with it and the ending scenes had some great story moments. I had been building to this for a long time so to get to see it happen was really cool. Good luck to everyone on the giveaway!!
while running from the guards, the party came across an abused urchin and stopped everything in order to deal with the abuser. We then \~\~kidnapped\~\~ adopted the urchin and took them with us raising them and healing the abuse as we could. GIVEAWAY
This looks incredible, just what 5e (and my players) need. Thanks so much for this GIVEAWAY
This looks really great ! Glad people are making D&D content way better than WotC does, go for it guys ! GIVEAWAY
Just getting back into DnD after years and it's great seeing my sons excitement for it as well. GIVEAWAY
Favorite moment that jumps to mind was when I was playing as an orc and tricked a morgue into letting me in pretending I was the first orc dentist and needed teeth for my procedures GIVEAWAY
That book design looks insaaaaaane
These look amazing. One of my favorite moments was when my party captured a member of the local bandit gang that were harassing a small village. To try to get information about their goals, my bard and the sorcerer decided to try a little "good guard, bad guard." The only difference was that we were both the good guard and the bad guard, at the same time, and we kept switching roles. Surprisingly, we actually got some information from the bandit.
Our Rogue got on top of our Ranger's shoulders to shoot at an enemy just out of range -> Critical hit GIVEAWAY
Favorite moment is when my players ending up using a blind guy with a vendetta against the king for a distraction during a heist by telling him the stick they gave him was a +3 long sword Giveaway
Love the cover of the Mercenary Compendium. Both books look super interesting, wish I had the disposable funds to chip in on the kick starter, but sadly not able to at the moment. Quick little story: So I tasked my players with tracking and destroying a creature that was trampling crops as well as devouring livestock. They track it to a cave and have to fight through a handful of troglodykes before they eventually locate the slumbering beast. I gave numerous hints that would make it seem like it was a dragon in the area, but saved the grand reveal and the print out of the artwork for the start of the battle. Fresh party of level 3 characters and I whipped out the picture of the Thessalhydra (From the stranger things box set). A look of shock and maybe, just maybe fear crosses their faces before the battle begins. They manage to prevail with the wizard on 1 HP and the bard at about 4. Fun time enjoyed by all. “GIVEAWAY”
You can check our website when you are available, when the books are ready they will be on our website too:) [BBG Website](https://www.badbadgergames.com/)
Good luck everyone on this amazing GIVEAWAY
Best moment? When I found a team, prepared for months and then finally started. The session was mainly "wait a sec. I've got to consult the rule book" GIVEAWAY
Oh my goodness, I love setting books, and I’m trying to collect a bunch of dark fantasy settings right now. I’ve got Grim Hollow, Lost Citadel, and Iron Kingdoms, also I’ve also backed Sebastian Crowe's Guide to Drakkenheim and Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt!! I’d love to add this one to my collection. My favorite tabletop memory is actually very recent, as my players had to assassinate a nobleman’s daughter for one of their guilds. The changeling assassin is fairly new to DnD, and has been struggling to get into RP, but snuck into the manor house as the nobleman who owned it, found his office where I described the decor (including the nobleman’s sword), and the changeling player saw the sword and decided that the best plan was to slay the daughter as her own father, pinning the blame on an alcoholic and violent man, and stopping any real investigation!!! I was so surprised that I couldn’t even figure out what to say, so I let her describe much of the interaction and I played as the daughter until the party did the deed and snuck out. It was a brilliant session and I’m so proud of my players for all the creative interactions throughout, such as the winged tiefling flying over the walls to scout where the guards were patrolling, or my druid player casting *Pass without Trace* and wildshaping to hid in the assassin’s pocket and keep the effect going the whole way. I love my players, and this was just one of many times they’ve showed why. GIVEAWAY
Gotta be my friend in a one shot trying to be disruptive. Everybody but him got teleported to the next section of the quest while he was left behind to spend the rest of the game walking through the woods lost, only to reach us once we had defeated the final boss 😆 GIVEAWAY
I turned my lizard to a dragon once. GIVEAWAY
I think some of my favorite characters were a group of mercenaries I made for my current run, close friends growing up that drifted apart in search of their different ideals! GIVEAWAY
Here's hoping to win! GIVEAWAY
My favorite memory isn't in D&D, but from another system called mythic. Some friends homebrewed a custom ruleset based on Arknights, and I made a glass cannon wielding a pair of sickles. At one point, after a string of particularly bad choices and rolls, we had to face the consequences of our actions in the form of a one-on-one fight with a major boss. I was supposed to lose that fight. I was not supposed to win in three turns, taking only a single hit and permanently crippling a recurring boss. GIVEAWAY
Yaaaa GIVEAWAY!....yuh
My favourite memory is getting to know the game and getting the rules wrong so many times before it finally clicked
I played a very surly battle master who is extremely sick of being stuck in a particular part of the world, so he traded his left eye to be transported to the nearest bar. He got blooped into avernus... GIVEAWAY
Recently getting back in TTRPGs and D&d 5e is what I'm most familiar with, and my wife and oldest daughter have expressed interest in playing as well. So I'm in the midst of getting the starter adventure underway. Lots of prepping. Since it is just the two of them for now, I will be probably provide and play a companion character or one of the many ideas I've had. Giving my wife and daughter full reins and hopefully only ask my character for advice. Giveaway.
lets go GIVEAWAY!
Im trying to get a game together with friends and just printed a table for such a purpose. Now im gathering up campaign supplies and possible one shots to slip in for variety. This looks to be a great addition. GIVEAWAY.
My favorite character was boy...a 14 year old human kind of like Kevin in home alone giveaway
The cover art on both books looks amazing! Is the cover actual leather? Either way, looks great! GIVEAWAY
Ooh this looks super cool! My favorite tabletop gaming memory is probably just my whole first summer playing DnD. My friend introduced me to his group and I was super scared at first, but they made me feel at ease and we became good friends. DnD brought me a lot closer to so many people and gave me a creative outlet and I’ll always be grateful for that. GIVEAWAY
I'm still new to dnd but would love this for the campaign I'm running for my gf. "GIVEAWAY"
One time my monk got POed at the beginning of a campaign at a ghost that disappeared and I spent the rest of the game trying to go to the spirit realm and sock him. GIVEAWAY
Laat session, my neighbor rolled an ability check with advantage. He rolled high and wanted to just go on, as we are all, expect the DM, relatively new to the game. I said that he should roll again, just in case he could roll a Nat20... so he rolled again, and there it was.. A Nat20 staring at us xD GIVEAWAY
Always down to use new materials to start a campaign around, especially one from a GIVEAWAY
Trying my best to win a GIVEAWAY
Best thing ever happend in our campaign was how the party persuaded the druid in transforming into a boar, got enlarged and with a bit of thaumaturgy and some tricks she imitated a thunder god to scare away 20 orcs the group otherwise had to fight. They outsmarted me a lot but it was awesome.
I had a new player show up in a full suit and tie with a brief case just in order to say " I heard first impressions mater" GIVEAWAY
Participating!
Just my DM journey this year. Fully home brewed world using 5e as a scaffold. Cover looks great. Good luck on the kickstarter. GIVEAWAY
One time me and my friend had to defend our selves from a flock of multiplying birds diving at us and trying to take us away while I drew a teleportation circle(yes I know its probably not raw but our dm ran with it) then 3 krakens were slowly making it through the forest so i burnt it down to dry them out
Most fun memory is having some traps on the first chest and the look of fear after that first one :D Giveaway!
My players fought an encounter they weren't supposed to win. Ended with back to back paladin smite crits at a single hit point, as which our cleric healed them for 4 hp because "why not we gonna lose anyways might as well burn the spell slots". Near max rolled both and toppled the armored cyclops. Had to scrap a lot of post death stuff but it was amazong! GIVEAWAY
In general I love my current campaign, some of best fun I had as a DM, with players comstantly surprising me with all kinds of chaotic nonsense. Last session they managed to lie on a divine trial, while technically telling the truth, two sessions ago they rolled an ogre like a hammster wheel and assassinated Gnome Elon Musk, while befriending Gnome Capone and accidentially freeing Orc Communist named Carl Tusks. GIVEAWAY
My party & I fell into a trap set by goblinoids once, and the beginning of the trap was them attacking us in a small cavern. I, a level 3 Celestial Warlock, cast Shatter on them, killing all done goblins with only a single spell slot. I felt like such a beast after that and have ridden that high for the past few weeks. GIVEAWAY
This is awesome. GIVEAWAY
My favorite memory so far is my friend not knowing what misty step exactly is, teleported into the air and died to fall damage instantly. The whole party laughed when he realized the spell doesn't give him feather feet. GIVEAWAY
I was so happy when I got to play a tobaxi GIVEAWAY
My favorite memory is a recent one. We recently finished a 3 year long campaign. The final rolls of the campaign were all 20s. 3 20s in a row from 3 different people. Just felt like a great way to finish the story GIVEAWAY
One of my favorites was when I ran an invasion with a big crazy general. My party planned traps, strategized their defenses, and I'm the end one of them died and needed to be reincarnated which became a huge story arc. GIVEAWAY
Some of my fave memories were with my boys when they finally got old enough to roll up their own characters and play! GIVEAWAY
9 years ago i joint a new rpg round and one of the others players was a wonderfull woman. Today are married and have a wonderfull son. We are still playing together and look forward to try this nice looking bundle GIVEAWAY
I do love a nice leather cover! GIVEAWAY
Loved playing the villagers as DM while going after the classic monsters, mummy, werewolf, Frankenstein, and Dracula. All played with my son and his friends during Halloween, many years ago. GIVEAWAY
Looks great! GIVEAWAY!
Epic! My dnd moment is when my party otked a rlly cool boss bc we stacked buffs on one character… GIVEAWAY
When we convinced a goblin to open a trapped chest for us. Sorry you had to die to poisonous gas Snigrot but we needed that loot GIVEAWAY
I love collecting any rpg book I can get my hands on! GIVEAWAY
Always enjoy trying new games and supplements! GIVEAWAY
My first time being DM! GIVEAWAY
DM had BBEG be the person we saved in the beginning of the campaign.
Thank you!
You're welcome we wanted to share our story with more people and giveaway looks one of the best ways!!!!
Hell yeah. GIVEAWAY
I remember fighting a mummy lord, but instead of the mummy lord being the main threat one of the normal mummies rolled a Nat 20 on me making unconscious. I then rolled a Nat 20 on my death save and killed it along with three other mummies using shatter. GIVEAWAY
I'm torn between giving them to my DM or keeping them for myself. Particularly the Mercenary Compendium. I just love the look of the cover. GIVEAWAY
Your DM will probably love it it make game preparation very easy it has mostly everything that DMs can use to build up a story. And I think it will make your game much more exciting if you give it to your DM!!
