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!

Whether you’re a veteran player exploring new character possibilities or a newcomer eager to dive into the rich tapestry of D&D classes, this section offers a deep dive into the unique abilities, lore, and playstyles of each class.

Stay tuned as we continually update this section with more classes and editions, enriching your D&D experience for months and years to come.
- 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.
- Ranger 5e – Bards in 5e are charismatic performers and spellcasters, masters of inspiration and arcane arts, with subclasses allowing specialization in areas like lore, valor, and magical secrets.

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.

Curses in Dungeons & Dragons rarely linger in memory when they’re just numbers on a D&D character sheet. An itching rash, a night of bad dreams, a sticky -1 to attack rolls. These fade from the mind, handled by a spell or a trip to the nearest temple. Yet, when curses snake into the marrow…

Every Dungeon Master has, at some point, felt the creeping pressure of a table full of eager players staring expectantly while their minds scramble for something—anything—to throw their way. Devising engaging side quests at a moment’s notice is an art unto itself, demanding creativity, quick thinking, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the world you’ve built.…
Picture this: you stand, veiled in shadow at the far edge of the battlefield, every movement deliberate, every spell loosed with surgical precision.

In Dungeons & Dragons, the distinction between martial and magical prowess is becoming increasingly blurred. Clerics, once pigeonholed into the role of healers or support, now have the potential to rival—or even out-damage—fighters with the right build choices.
