A super quick five-minute guide to writing a Stranger Things fic with no experience of DnD:
Edited for some clarity since people asked for it. See reblogs for more time-accurate DnD, and more specific rules!
Alternatively; If you never played or barely know DnD, but wish to write about it nonetheless, here are some quick FYI’s
These points are made based on things I have read on this site and other platforms. In no way is this a personal attack if you recognise your own writing! I have seen many posts where people complain about the inaccuracy of DnD represented in fics, but none offer any ideas, so that’s why I wrote this. Hope this helps!
Tumblr media
1. DND IS NOT A TWO PLAYER GAME
You need one Dungeon master, and at least three players to create a good campaign. I’d say a normal party consists out of five players (DM not included), but it can quite easily be bigger.
(There are starter campaigns with one DM and one player, but for a good game, you’d need a bigger party. Introductions to DnD are way more fun with a good group)
2. DND IS NOT A QUICK GAME
There is no such thing as playing a quick round of DnD. Even starter campaigns can be hours long. A short/mini campaign is usually around 4, if not more, hours.
3. THERE ARE MORE DICES THAN JUST THE D20
Though the D20 is the dice you will use more often, there are other ones as well; the D4, D6, D8, D10, and - occasionally - the D100
4. THERE ISN’T ONE DND BOOK
DnD might appear as a fun role playing game, but there is a lot of effort that goes into it. With that counting the books. Players usually only need the Player’s Handbook, which contains information about how to play and how to make a character. Vice versa does the DM have a Dungeon Master’s guide, which introduces them to the game and how to direct it. Aside from that, there are a lot of other books containing different worlds, campaigns, creatures, characters, monsters etc. etc.
5. YOU CANNOT MAKE YOUR OWN DND HANDBOOK
Bouncing back on point 4, as there are many books, there are also many pages. A book isn’t easily studied, and is usually only used as a reference, and not something you have to know by heart. It is incredibly difficult to memorise every little detail of only one book. Aside from that, there are many many rules and restrictions bound to certain worlds and characters, so creating your own book, 9 out of 10 times would not make sense. It doesn’t make it impossible, but it is highly unlikely. Also, the DM will often times pitch in on which races and classes to use for certain campaigns, so creating your own species often won’t get you very far.
6. NOT ALL DND CAMPAIGNS HAVE A MAP AND MINIATURES
In season 4, we see Eddie’s campaign, with it a map and miniatures of creatures (under which Vecna), but this doesn’t occur as often as you think. Starter campaigns or other well known campaigns do contain maps, and miniatures of both the characters and creatures, but this is only because most of those campaigns don’t actually allow you to make your own character. A campaign self-written, or a campaign taken from a book about a certain world often times do not have anything, save from some drawings of your surroundings. There will be a lot of times you’ll have to imagine your character standing in a certain spot.
7. WRITING A CAMPAIGN IS DIFFICULT AND ISN’T WRITTEN IN A DAY
Extending some information; writing campaigns are a pain in the ass. As a first time DM, you will not write your own campaign. Unless you are really committed and already have some experience as a player…. If you have played often, writing a campaign is possible, but it takes weeks, if not months. A lot of info and rules and restrictions and creatures etc. etc. are involved in the process. Besides that, you’ll have to help your players out with their characters to fit to your world, while not revealing too much. You cannot write a campaign in a night.
8. CREATING A CHARACTER TAKES A LONG TIME
Like writing a campaign, a character also takes time. If you are really dedicated, you might have one in an hour, but if you want to properly study every race, class and background, you’ll be stuck in the books for a while. And that’s not even with counting characteristics, alliances, backstory, mannerisms, bonds, relations…. And then you’ll have to actually get in character. It takes time.
(As said, some people can create characters quickly, but this is with experience. More often than not, if you want to write a good character, you’ll be busy for quite a while)
9. EVERYTHING RELIES ON THE DUNGEON MASTER
As a player, you can’t change the story. You can’t make things up. Everything, and I mean everything, goes by the Dungeon Master first. You can’t propose things, you can’t ignore things. Dungeon Masters spent a lot of time working on campaigns, even the ones that have already been written. They know what happens, they decide. There is no second voice.
(Yes, players are able to interact with the story. It wouldn’t be DnD if you couldn’t, but the DM knows what happens, and the players - or the characters - do not. You could ignore creatures or buildings. Smart? Meh.)
Hope this helped! If not, feel free to ask or leave a suggestion!

quick sketch for my tma dnd au!!!!!
[ID: An uncolored sketch of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from a Dungeons and Dragons AU. The composition is a halfbody of the two of them, with both facing the camera. Jon is a Shadar-Kai, with long curly hair, half tied up in a bun, entirely black eyes, and glasses. He’s looking at the camera with a displeased expression. He’s wearing warlocks robes. Martin is a satyr, but instead of having slight goat-like appearances, it’s more orientated toward highland cows. His hair is short and half tied up in a ponytail with large horns coming out of his head. He’s looking behind/past the camera, also with a displeased expression. His right arm is on Jon’s shoulder. He’s wearing bard’s clothes, consisting of a poets shirt and a vest, as well as a backpack. End ID]

Hear me out: Dracula D&D (5e) AU
Jonathan's a battle based bard. You need charisma when you're a solicitor. Feel like his charisma was the reason he was able to survive in the castle for SIX FUCKING MONTHS without dying or getting chained to a wall, he got it bad but let's all admit he could have had it a lot worse! Also his bribery phase is pretty entertaining LOL. Think he'd be in the college of Swords or Valor.
Mina's a rogue. From what I understand of her, she's got a wide breath of knowledge that a rogue would have, and she's a teacher so she'd kind of have to be like that. Unsure about subclass because I can't decide between Inquisitive or Phantom.
Quincey's a ranger because obviously
Arthur's an artificer, just because from how it looks, it seems everyone's using him as the Uncle Pennybags of the group, and that's what artificers tend to end up as. Possibly a battle smith, with the steel defender being one of his dogs
Lucy's a Druid. I was originally going to make her a cleric for symbolic and ironic reasons, but I just get druid vibes from how she talks from re:dracula and there's also a bit of symbolism in how Dracula can corrupt nature.
Jack's a wizard because he's interested in advancing knowledge and goes to great and memeically unusual lengths to archive his work. Possibly an enchantment wizard because of how he's interested in studying human minds. He'd write his diary entries in his spellbook using the same method for transcribing spells and use all his expensive ink and stuff in the process.
Renfield's a barbarian, he's been described as being very strong and I'm pretty sure you need a strong constitution to eat all those birds and bugs without getting an upset stomach. Strength and constitution are what barbarians are best known for. Beast barbarian because it gives a bite attack and I just KNOW that Renfield's the kind of person to bite people LOL
Abraham Van Hesling's probably a multiclassed character, but I suppose that if he had any 'main' classes he'd be a bard or rogue for the sake of skills. He'd be all over the place. His player probably optimised him for maximum skills. Probably a Lore Bard or Knowledge Cleric if we had to stick with one class.

So a while ago I made a post asking for favorite lines that became memes or favorites during Dracula Daily so I could make them into dice. It took a while, but I’m proud that the set is finished!
With further ado, I present ‘Dracula Daily.’
Tumblr media
“I asked the waiter, and he said it was called ‘paprika hendl.’”
Tumblr media
“Once more have I seen the Count go out in his lizard fashion.”
Tumblr media
“Bah! Newspapers -- full o’ lies and fool-talk!”
Tumblr media
“We have on our side power of combination.”
Tumblr media
“I can die, if need be, as well as younger man.”
Tumblr media
“You forget….that I am the train fiend.”
Tumblr media
“Look! He’s good corn.”
Tumblr media
Thanks to everyone who contributed suggestions! They make me laugh a lot, and I’ll be putting them up in this week’s dice drop.

DnD Night at Arkham
[They started it on Arkham as a form of group therapy and kept it after they scaped but on a special room on the Iceberg Lounge. Catwoman and Penguin entered later (via Harley and Riddler insidtence respectivaly) and Joker was banned because he kept geting Nat 20s in all his rolls]
.
Riddler: You rescue the hostage. He is a simple human lumberjack. He offers you wood as a payment.
Poison Ivvy: Is the wood ethically sourced?
Riddler: He is a human lumberjack in a medieval scenario I don't think he even knows what ethically sourced wood is.
Poison Ivvy: I cast poison spray on his face. How dare he hurt the trees!
Riddler: Let me roll... You know what, no, he is a normal middle aged lumberjack. He just dies.
Penguin: NO! I wanted that wood! I could have sold it!!
Catwoman: Didn't he had some important information? Pam?!
Poison Ivvy: Well he should had ethically sourced his wood!
Penguin: Edward bring him back right now!
Riddler: I can't just bring him back! Pamela killed him. You should have tried to stop her. Do not blame me, I'm just the DM. By the way your next encounter are his wife and kids.
-
Scarecrow: I cast fear!
Riddler: *rolls dice multiple times* The soldiers fail their test. They are terrifield.
Scarecrow: Good. What are they seeing? What is their fear reaction? How is their heart rate?
Riddler: That's it! Every single time you cast fear you force me to do a ridiculously long description of their reactions no one else cares about. *the other Rogues agree* Please stop.
Scarecrow: People react to fear differently and afraid of different things, Edward, and is my mission to study it.
Riddler: They all see a monster and run.
Scarecrow: That's unrealistic. Not a single one paralyzes? No one screams? They all have the same monster as their biggest fears? Did they had a similar traumatic experience? But even so it wouldn't explain they all having the same reaction. Honestly, that's truly not how real people act.
Riddler: They aren't REAL, Crane. They are FAKE PEOPLE I just MADE UP. They act in any way I want.
Scarecrow: Oh so they are a reflection of your fear of losing control!
Riddler: You keep that and you're out.
Scarecrow: So if I just described their fears and reactions would it make you anxious because you lost control over your "fake people".
Riddler: Anyway is Two-Face's turn. Also Crane you characther is poisoned. He acidentaly steped in a poisonous plant while trying to analyse the soldiers fears.
Scarecrow: That's not fair.
Riddler: Two-Face?
.
Harley: Can I cast a illusion spell to pretend to be his dead wife?
Riddler: I'm interresed. Make your roll.
Mr. Freeze: Don't do that. It's too cruel, this poor man deserves better.
Two-Face: He separated our group in different torment chambers and he is trying to kill us!
Mr. Freeze: But his dead wife! He clearly loves her still and loves her soo much.
Catwoman: I think that's the point...
Riddler: It's up to Harley.
Harley: Does he has a dead daughter?
Riddler: Does he?
Harley: *rolls* NAT 20!
Riddler: He does. He loved her even more than his wife.
Harley: I pretend to be his dead daugther.
Mr. Freeze: See way less cruel.
.
Riddler: *starts giggling*
Two-Face: ugh.
Harley: oh no.
Penguin: Is another puzzle maze isn't it?
Catwoman: Please don't be another puzzle maze.
Riddler: Is not a puzzle maze!
*everyone celebrates*
Riddler: You guys see yourselfs trapped in a beutifull, amazing, perfectly done... death trap! : )
*everyone boos*
.
MadHatter: Can I kiddnap his kid, Dormouse?
Riddler: You can?????!
Catwoman: Why? Why do you want to kiddnap the royal's guard kid?
MadHatter: She has a Cheshire cat.
Scarecrow: Is not a Cheshire Cat is just a cat called Cheshire.
MadHatter: Same thing, March Hare.
Harley: Kiddnap the cat!
MadHatter: But than she'll be alone. If I take booth of them, they will be together as Alice and the Cheshire Cat. She'll be ny daugther and we will be a Woonderland family.
Poison Ivvy: Her name is Ophelia.
MadHatter: If I succeed in kidnapping her can I change her name, Dormouse?
Riddler: I supose?
Two-Face: Don't fucking encourage him, Nygma!
.
Two-Face: I attack the sphinx with my sword of shadows. *rolls the dice* Dammit Nat 1.
Riddler: Your paladin tries to attack the sphinxs, his sword does no damage. The sphinxs smiles cruely. How dare you try to solve matters of the mind with muscles??? YOU TRULY ARE ALL BRAWL AND NO BRAINS! YOU ARE THROWED AGAINST THE WALL. YOUR HP DROPS TO ONE. NOW YOUR ONLY CHANCE IS TO SOLVE THE IMPOSSIBLE RIDDLE. HOW DARE YOUR MORAL PALADIN OF JUSTICE THINK HE COULD JUST PUNCH ME AWAY? YOU HAVE NO CHANCE DARK NIGHT! NO CHANCE AT ALL AHAHAHA. TODAY IS THE END OF BATMAN AHAHAHAHA *everyone looks at Riddler* *he blushes* i mean ... is harley's turn...
.
Two-Face: I steal his sword. I finally have two swords!
Harley: But both need two hands to use.
Two-Face: Perfection.
