EDIT - And I forgot the address the flattering part! Thank you for making an account over there to ask for the story background! I am flattered! And I am especially flattered and happy to hear you enjoyed it! I look forward to any other character ideas - whether it's for a character you have or just one you have in your head that's not even in a game yet - I am more than happy to write it out. It truly does help me.
If that's so, are you able to write a backstory for the villains of my campaign? Here is a brief summary:
They're all Eladrin of different seasons. Their names are:
Berenus Bloom (male)
Erevan Blaze (male)
Valoria Bluster (female)
Aurora Bitter (female)
They are all lawful evil and wish to conquer certain domains in the Feywild. For example, Berenus wants to conquer the Spring kingdom. When he does so, everything about spring is "amplified" - flowers and plants bloom and grow so much that the entire kingdom is overgrown and difficult terrain. If Valoria conquers the Autumn kingdom, the winds will become so strong that leaves constantly fly in your face, and giant pumpkins block the path.
They all want to conquer their kingdoms and then work together to overthrow the king who lives in the middle of each of the kingdoms (in a neutral city named Mossbottom).
Are you able to find a way of linking the four Eladrin with a backstory? Why do they want to overthrow the king, apart from just gaining power? For information, the king is a bullywug named King Clunk XIV.

Yeah! Would you mind posting it over on the OotS forum? So it's all in one place and I don't rail road this thread with background write ups? :D
Hah! Yes! I always refer to it as OotS (Order of the Stick) which is what the web comic there is called (and the original reason I signed up to that forum eons ago). :)
So what are some people's favor race/class combo? What do you enjoy? Tell us about your favorite characters (either their story, something they did, etc)...
Never made one, but have always wanted to make an autognome bard whose lungs are an accordion, so every time he "breathes" and talks it makes an accordion sound. I don't have Spelljammer so I can't make it. Also, for some reason, I love playing small characters like gnomes, halflings, and goblins. I have absolutely no idea why, I just find shorter characters cuter.
I love the idea of sorcerers inheriting magic from a bloodline. I also love making names for sorcerers because I can connect their names with their origin (for example, "Glittergear" for a clockwork soul and "Nightshade" for a shadow sorcerer). What's your favourite druid circle?
I can always play a Dwarven Fighter, while I really need to come up with a good idea for any other race and class.
I prefer running my own homebrew adventures and worlds, but I suffer from a bit of an imposter syndrome and many of the adventures and setting made by 3rd parties look better than my own. I also consider all the official adventures pretty good (Avernus and Dragonlance being something I would really like to run) but they force the group to focus on something I didn't create and that makes me feel a little bummed out after a while.
In closing, D&D was probably the main non-therapy factor that helped overcome my severe depression in this past decade. I am really hoping One D&D continues on the course they have set so far (though I really, really hope crits and fails for skill checks will not be part of the game).
So I see we have a few things in common! A love for the Dwarves! And fighters!
You might like my Out of the Abyss post I made which I shared my MS PAINT drawings from the Out of the Abyss session as they happened. :D (You may also like my Neverwinter Nights web series which features a dwarf fighter in the party as well! All HD Episodes of Neverending Nights)
Now the one thing I want to talk about - about imposter syndrome. So when I first started my homebrew world it was very, very, very influenced by the games Realms of Arkania in many ways (a series I absolutely loved) - especially the deities of my campaign. However, as I DM'ed my campaign more - I made adjustments as I moved along. And soon enough, it "borrowed" a little from everything - but enough so that it feels unique in its own way. There are very few things that are "original" ideas anymore; you can look at something and analyze and say, "That's coming from XYZ" if you wanted to. So don't worry about your imposter syndrome - use it as a basis - and then as you DM and ideas come to you, adjust the world accordingly. That's the beauty of being a DM. "Well, remember how there were 12 gods originally? Well, you guys just found some ancient texts that show there were three elder gods who were banished." (And so on and so on)
And now for D&D therapy... I tell my groups I DM for... how absolutely thankful I am for them.
I have struggled to be an author for a very long time (which is why I do character backgrounds and DM, for that matter). I use any chance I can to write something.
But...
D&D is magical. Because....
When you're a painter - and you show someone a painting, you get an instant reaction ("Hey this is gorgeous!", "It's cool, but not my style of art", etc)
But when you're a writer and hand a 50 page story to someone they typically say, "Oh, I will read it when I get a chance."
And that day may be weeks... or never.
D&D?
You become a writer who is painting your words and your players are giving you that instant reaction to what you're doing.
So D&D is being a painter with words, is what I always say.
And the joy, laughter, and time together shared helps battle depression (and the every day things in my life that are not in a good place). For that time, while I DM (or even play) I am able to escape with wonderful company. And it is my therapy.
Glad to see a kindred soul.
Thank you truly for this reply! I am very glad as well to find a kindred soul.

DM for life by choice, biggest fan of D&D specifically.
I often play with newer players, so I like the weird stuff that throws them. But I also think everything can feel new if you reskin it or just describe it without telling them what it is. I’ve had huge fun with staples like rust monsters, drakes, hook horrors, owlbears and most recently some bugbears, which I re-skinned as kind of pre-cursor to modern elves (my current game is currently very heavy on the fae).
Ropers are one of my favorites. Pretty basic, but I like the excitement of prey being reeled in and having to use attacks to fend off the tendrils while not damaging the creature itself. It is also pretty easy to homebrew a few extra attributes onto that chassis to add extra interest/difficulty (and or re-skinning them for different environments).

I agree with both of you on the re-skinning thing. It can work quite well. I and my friends once fought a shambling mound re-skinned to be an animated mass of kelp. Same overall stats except for a swimming speed and slightly more powerful attacks.
Currently in my Home game, we are starting the final chapter, so that will end in a few months, but one of my players is starting Ebberon once that concludes. I am in another campaign as a player, I also run and play in Adventurers League and I am about to start Waterdeep Dragon Heist and roll it into Tomb of Annihilation.
More on my Home game, it has gone amazingly well, with 53 sessions so far. I broke it into 7 chapters with the BBEG at the end of each chapter based on each of the seven deadly sins. The first chapter was a general overall setup, chapters 2-6 were all based on the backgrounds of the players with some of the overall arc mixed in and the 7th is the Endgame. I created an extinct race of sea dwarves, an ancient weapon. I have pushed myself with this one breaking out of some of my old habits proving you can teach an old dog new tricks. Also, for the first time, I have actually recorded the audio of the entire campaign and that has been the best.
I am so thankful for these safe spaces in the Avernus-like state the forums are currently in.
Currently, I'm working on writing and finding players for a campaign that takes place in the Magic multiverse. The campaign is probably a long time down the road, but it has been a passion project of mine for a while.
My current home game was actually the idea of one of my players, as they wanted to play in a campaign based on LOTR. Instead of doing that, I made a world map that was just an amalgamation of different franchises me and my players enjoy, and it has been a lot of fun. We jokingly call the game world "The world of Plagiarism". The party consists of a Pokemon trainer, John Constantine, Meta Knight, Giorno Giovanna, and Mega Man. It's great and has had a lot of funny moments.

I enjoy adding that kind of stuff - my own homebrew is chalk full of references to things I've loved.
In one of the campaigns I am running two players are playing Monks - and I never had any players who had played Monks so I hadn't developed much in the ways of lore for Monks. So I basically took Japan's map - reshaped them and moved the islands around and reskinned Japan as the Kingdom the Monks come from. The players wrote up an Oath for "The Grey Order" which has references to Star Wars (Grey Jedi). So when I wrote up some of the things that happened at the school/Monastery that they're from - I put in a lot of references to Street Fighter. But I altered the spelling of the names - like Rhiyu (Ryu), Dhan (Dan), Khen (Ken), etc.
And currently characters from Darkstalkers are appearing. For example in one campaign they were in a pyramid - and fought an ancient mummy (a reference to Anakaris), there was a succubus the party helped (reference to Morrigan Aensland), another campaign they helped a triton (reference to Rikuo) who battled Sahuagin, there's a werewolf trailing that same party (reference to Jon Talban), etc etc.
There was even a temple they found, that was surfaced after a major earthquake - and it was a temple to a time where dinosaurs were worshipped (and showed pictures to references of Primal Rage and alluded to an existing island full of dinosaurs that still exist).
So let's just chat. D&D in general. How's your campaign going? Have you been a DM before? What's your favourite race species and class? What are your overall opinions on the game?
Yay for random DnD chats! I love hearing the stories people have around DnD, learning to play and DM and all of that. It really speaks to how far the game has come from being the "devil's game" back in the day, to accepting all kinds of people and playstyles into something more mainstream. There is little can replicate the wonder and silliness, the epic feelings that DnD can conjure up over the course of even just a one shot game.
I have several games going right now. I have a live (over discord) and text only version of my own homebrew campaign/world that are still more or less in their beginning stages but am already loving what the players are doing with things. I'm running an OOTA campaign here on the forums, and participating in someone else's game here, plus playing in another text game on discord.
I love gnomes (see username) though that stems from playing WoW too, but I often find them fun because they can be so different than other races in terms of personality especially. I had a gnome wizard that made up silly names for the gadgets he created for example. But I tend to get a hundred ideas for characters running through my head as I think about things so sometimes it's hard to settle on just one!
Another fun thread! I'm in two campaigns right now, both in homebrew worlds and both online (some friends overlap between them). One is built around the concept that the gods in the pantheons of the various nations on this continent all went to war with each other and dragged their nations into the fray (with the exception of the Norse-inspired northern nation). Suddenly, ten years before the campaign takes place, the war ended, and the gods disappeared and have not been seen or heard from since. It's been really fun to have our DM drip-feed the mystery to us as we've played, especially with my Tempest Cleric who takes pride in his family's lineage coming from Thor.
The other campaign is a fantasy Far East inspired world, where a long-imprisoned Empress, locked away after losing a cataclysmic war, has essentially pressed the party into her service in hopes of freeing herself. Our party recently released her and is traveling with her, wondering what her true motives are and hoping she can restore peace to the land without falling back into terrible bloodshed. It's been a lot of fun. I'm playing a Dragonborn Druid in that one, though she's multiclassed into Monk after a vicious "greater being" took over her wildshaped form and threatened the rest of the party.

I am DMing 3 campaings, 2 are more and more getting to an end - one of which is its 6ish year now.
Now the melancholy for some players hits, that their chars are going to retire "soon".
3 campaigns at a time already seems a bit overwhelming, but 6 years!? Congratulations on keeping that up, must be a lot of work.
