Madness in D&D Straight from the 5th Edition Dungeons Masters Guide
This one has been request several times so far madness in 5th edition dungeons and dragons. Nerdarchy plunges right into the depths of madness that awaiting us in the DMG.
We talk about how to use it as a game master or how it can effect you as a player in the game. No discussion from the new dungeon master’s guide would be complete without talking plot points for any dungeon masters looking for another spin on things.
Has madness creeped into your games? Has anyone had one of their characters driven mad by the wild schemes of their DM?

Nerdarchy tears once more into the DMG of 5e to talk optional rules for 5th edition dungeons and dragons. I didn’t think I’d see this one but here it is- Spell Points.
It’s really nice that wizards of the coast put this one in here. Especially for the 5e D&D sorcerer this pretty awesome it completely fixes what I see as being the sorcerer’s problems in this edition of dungeons and dragons.
Things get a little complex when you start to add multi-class spell casting into the mix. So spell points what you guys think?

I just managed to get a Madness of Baphomet bestowed upon my character. I rolled and my specific madness is: “The world is my hunting ground. Others are my prey.”
It happened just as the session ended. I am doing some preparation for the upcoming session and I did discuss with my DM about the approach. We agreed on a Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) type of madness. We really don’t want the other players to know straight away. The character will be slightly delusional, really having trouble with consciousness. The character I am playing is Neutrally aligned, but while under the Madness effect, he will act as Chaotic Evil. He does have a grudge on some fey creatures that the group is currently fighting, but I want him to start seeing regular folk as potential victims. He is in Shadowdale at the moment, so he might wonder the streets, perhaps slums, looking for weak people to prey upon, just as a predator would.
If you guys have any tips on how to play out this specific madness, I would be really grateful.
