    Hey Sadee!

    Magic is an awesome – yet pretty broad – subject! If you could be a bit more specific I’d be glad to help you out

    Hi The Alpine DM,

    I wasn’t sure where to put this, given that as far as I can tell there’s no contact info on this site, but your article “Quick and Simple Guide to D&D 5e Damage Types” (Posted on September 20, 2020) has a mistake in it. The “D&D 5e Damage Types and Examples” table duplicates the explanation and examples for Force damage into the Psychic damage row.

    Thought I’d let you know as this may be confusing for new players.

    Thanks,

    Will.

    Hey Will!

    Thanks for pointing that out! The site is undergoing a bit of a rehaul at the moment, so apologies for the lack of a “Contact Page”. I must have been tired when re-creating that article and totally missed the Psychic section. I’ll be sure to fix that later this evening.

    Thanks again!

    Hi there!
    Im a new player to DnD this year! Quarantine had me wanting to join my friends who play on the reg, and i can honestly say im hooked. ive thought about starting to create a few one shots to start out and want to learn and this site is amazing for that.

    thanks for putting this on here its all very helpful!

    have a great day, keep safe, stay well!

    Heyo!

    I feel like a bunch of people got into D&D due to quarantine, which may be one of the few positive things to come out of 2020! That’s awesome that you’ve gotten hooked; I definitely know the feeling haha. You should absolutely create some one-shots! There’s nothing like coming up with an idea and seeing your friends bring it to life. If you have any questions during the process definitely let me know.

    Thanks for the kind words, and stay safe yourself!
