5 Things Every Great D&D Faction Needs

Описание: What makes factions the ultimate DM tool?

Because without them, your D&D world feels flat, your players stop caring, and your campaign slowly turns into… well, a theme park with no rides. 🎢 (Still better than my Rollercoaster Tycoon rides, but you get the idea.)

In this video, I’m breaking down:
✨ The big mistakes DMs make with factions (and why most games use them completely wrong)
✨ The 5 keys to making your factions unforgettable (Purpose, Specificity, Variance, Importance, and how to give players their own faction)
✨ Tons of examples you can steal, from my Feywild and Underdark campaigns to classics like Curse of Strahd

If you’ve ever struggled with:
• Factions that give your players the Lore-Bore
• Bland Good vs Evil binaries
• NPCs that all sound the same
• Or players who ignore your painstakingly built merchants and kingdoms…

This video will show you how to fix that, and how to your turn factions into drama machines that make every session feel like Game of Thrones.

A Mad Max meets Dune-inspired TTRPG setting with 5 unique factions, a wild spell system called The Current, rules for vehicular mayhem, and so much more. It’s system-agnostic, community-built, and I even got to voice one of the Scara Warrior NPCs!
