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

- Ranger 5e – In 5e, Rangers combine martial prowess with nature magic, excelling in tracking, survival, and ranged combat, with various subclasses enhancing their versatility in and out of the wilderness.
- Barbarian 5e – Barbarians in 5e are known for their raw strength and battle fury, wielding immense physical power and resilience, with subclasses like the Berserker and Totem Warrior offering distinct paths of primal might.

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.

Neon dice tumbled across the table like miniature data cores lighting up a shadowy tabletop.

Deep inside the Player’s Handbook, masked by half-hearted chuckles and the rolling eyes of table veterans, slumbered a subclass most would dismiss as a joke: the Drunken Master Monk.

In the labyrinthine alleys of tabletop roleplaying, Dungeons & Dragons reigns as a domain of self-invention and wild storytelling. At its core, the sprawling machinery of D&D leans heavily on the concept of alignment, a system that slices up morality and ethics into a nine-square grid, forming the invisible boundaries for every hero, villain, and…
Non-combat encounters occupy a powerful niche within Dungeons & Dragons 5e campaigns. While swordplay and spell-slinging have their place, too many sessions spent trading blows can numb the senses, causing even the most epic battle to lose its luster.
