Explore DnD offers comprehensive guides, with a goal to either begin or enrich your RPG game nights. You’ll find guides for gameplay, rules, and homebrew to make your own campaigns. With every guide, there’s additional information, like frequently asked questions and personal advice to make the most of our information.
Gameplay strategies are researched, tested and considered to make sure we’re giving you the best advance possible. When we decide to write a review, we aren’t just writing any review, but a review with enthusiastic players like you in mind.
We think from all perspectives: from someone picking up a set of D&D dice for the first time, to someone who’s created their own elaborate D&D maps and crafted storylines for campaigns. We cover the basics, then dig deeper to show just how incredible this game can be when you apply a bit of innovation and creativity.
When we write a guide, we write it for you. We write it for gamers who want more than the bare bone basics.
That is the approach we take to every review, guide and article we write. Our goal is to give fellow DnD players the information they need before diving into another campaign.
We want your game nights to the best they can be, which means investing in the best books and maps. But it also means shoring up your own creativity, with great ideas for a campaign of your own. Source

Search ArticlesIconic DnD Shirts Guide - Roll A 20 On Style
An iconic DnD shirts guide is what I used to shop for a few Christmas gifts last year. Along the way, I found plenty of shirts to bookmark for myself, and I liked each of them for different reasons. I’ve been playing D&D for over 15 years and am always looking for cool merch. T-shirts never go out of style and are a great way to share your love with others, connecting silently.
Outlander 5e Guide - Home Away From Home
An Outlander 5e guide helped me create the Ranger of my dreams a few years ago. Outlander is a great background for Rangers because the tie into nature is crucial to both of them. The Outlander feels one with nature because it’s where they choose to reside. Though they live in nature, they don’t have to be a simple forest dweller who doesn’t even speak Common. There’s a lot more to the Outlander than meets the eye. Some Outlanders are even more advanced than city-dwellers.
Where to Buy DnD Miniatures in Bulk
Where to buy DnD miniatures in bulk isn’t as straightforward as it sounds. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, you could buy them at specialty stores or comic book stores, but they weren’t just floating around the internet. This made it more complicated yet accessible in other ways because you could pinpoint where to buy quality sets. I’ve purchased bulk DnD miniatures myself at yard sales and local stores. But the next round, I’m buying them online.
Funniest DnD Memes Explained
What do all new D&D players want? The funniest DnD memes explained in a way they can understand. I love memes – as does most of the Dungeons and Dragons player base. I’ve also played countless games – just for the memes. It’s hard not to jump on the bandwagon when you see an intriguing meme. Hopefully, these explanations won’t just entertain you but draw you deeper into the world of DnD.
Eladrin 5e Guide - the Moody Elf
An Eladrin 5e guide is something I looked into when the new Eladrin from Monsters of the Multiverse came out. Because I love Elves of all kinds, the Eladrin truly spoke to me and my DnD choices. While Eladrin are often associated with contempt, Rogues in DnD are also often associated with dirty deeds. I avoid both and yet prefer to be an Elf (of some sort) Rogue in most DnD campaigns. Eladrin 5e – Wrapped Up Before 5e was released, eladrin was just an archaic way to say High Elf.
Fly 5e Guide - D&D Flight Mechanics and Methods
A fly 5e guide typically only covers one type of flying method. Sometimes it’s the spell Fly, while other times, it’s the natural ability to fly that some races are gifted with. In this Fly 5e Guide, we’ll cover it all. I flew for the first time in the Dungeons and Dragons world when I was an Aasimar – with an innate ability to fly. Since then, I’ve flown with the Fly spell as a Sorcerer; which, ironically, is also innate since Sorcerers are born imbued with magic.
Assassin 5e Guide - The One-Hit Kill Rogue
An Assassin 5e guide is something I looked at a few years back when I made my first Rogue with a subclass. To this day, Assassin is my go-to class for Rogue – as it is for many others. While Arcane Trickster and Swashbuckler are always there to switch things up, I still prefer Assassin whenever I don’t know which archetype to choose. It’s so solid and has the most consistent damage output.
Starting Gold 5e Guide - D&D Currency at 1st Level
A starting gold 5e guide can let you know exactly where you stand financially right from the get-go. Starting gold can make or break a D&D campaign, depending on where the DM sets the story. Most DMs won’t have starting gold play a big role. But there are a few that will focus on it, throwing expensive inns into a town as the only place to stay. This is rare, though, so I wouldn’t pay too much attention to the starting gold. The general range for starting gold is quite large for early games.
Celestials 5e Guide: D&D Angels Evolved
A celestials 5e guide would have helped me find out what I wanted to know about Devas. Eventually, I figured out what I needed to know, but there was quite a bit of information that I needed at the time that I have slowly learned over the years. I thought I’d share it in this guide. Celestials aren’t just angels. They are a creature type, just like humanoids, but vastly different.
Fall Damage 5e Guide - Falling in Dungeons & Dragons
This Fall Damage 5e guide can help diffuse arguments regarding Fall Damage in Dungeons and Dragons 5e. While some subjects in 5e have extensive rulings, there isn’t room for dispute; Fall Damage does not. While there are a few official rulings that can help guide you with a stern hand, there are a few that are left unsaid. It’s a good idea to make these decisions before someone falls, so there aren’t any hard feelings.
