DND Taken Seriously.
On this page, you can find all the different Dungeons & Dragons content I have published here at LitRPG Reads. Check back often as this page is constantly being updated. I’ve been playing D&D since the early 1980s. Yes, I’m that old… er, experienced. Yes, I’m high-level! And a multi-classer! Small smile.
In all seriousness, I wanted to put my experience and knowledge to use and share with Dungeon Masters new and old. This page will contain all sorts of information on Dungeons & Dragons and serve as a central hub for you to find all the great content that I’ve published on this site.
DND Adventures
Here’s a few free adventures I’ve cooked up!

DND Memes
A small but growing section about D&D memes. I’ve got sections for D&D memes for Dungeon Masters and D&D memes for rogues. I’ll be adding to this section of the site, but it’s not my biggest priority at the moment. There’s so many great places to get DnD memes already, so I want to concentrate on other types of content that might take a bit more effort but have a better payoff for all involved.
