Newest 5E D&D Unearthed Arcana Reaches for the Stars with Travelers of the Multiverse
A fresh batch of Unearthed Arcana playtest material for fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons whisks nerds through the multiverse with a collection of fantastic races.

Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as The Dark Knight
Holy Character Build Guides! Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted do what defines them and create a fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons character who is vengeance and the night. The Dark Knight strikes fear into the hearts of the superstitious and cowardly lot of 5E D&D villains and monsters. We’ve D&D-ized quite a lot of fictional characters and items including a certain beloved mutant. Newer character options since then created an opportunity to revisit this concept. Let’s get into it.
Take Hold of Whimsical 5E D&D Magic Items from Wild Beyond the Witchlight
Whether a new fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons book comprises a campaign adventure, a sourcebook full of new character options or an entire campaign setting one of the first things players look for are new magic items. We can’t help it! The siren’s call of exciting new 5E D&D magic items pulls us in and we imagine what our favorite characters would do with such treasures. Wild Beyond the Witchlight is no exception and while the whimsical and nostalgic adventure captivates 5E D&D players it’s those juicy magic items I’m taking a closer look at in this post. Let’s get into it.

Wild Beyond the Witchlight Adds Delightful 5E D&D Race Options
Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted cross over into the Feywild for a look at two new fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons races.

Wild Beyond the Witchlight Brings D&D Backgrounds to Vibrant Life
Despite a lack of snazzy features and potent powers a fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons character’s background represents perhaps the most impactful part of their creation. Whenever I create a character their background is something I put a lot of thought into because it’s such an important part of their identity. Background illustrates who the character was prior to taking steps on the road to adventure. Wild Beyond the Witchlight introduces two new backgrounds for 5E D&D characters perfect for the newest campaign adventure. Let’s get into it.

We’ve D&D-ized quite a lot of fictional characters and items including a certain beloved mutant. Newer character options since then created an opportunity to revisit this concept. Let’s get into it.

Worldbuilding and Character Development for 5E D&D Inspired by Game of Thrones — Chain Shirt
While rewatching Game of Thrones all the way through for a second time recently the series engaged me in different ways this time around. It’s fun knowing the fate of characters and watching how each step along the way influences the outcomes. In addition being caught up in the spectacle the first time around I simply missed a lot of the nuance. Like countless other fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons nerds the show appeals to me as a source of gaming inspiration too. One particular standout from Game of Thrones is the armor worn by warriors across Westeros and Essos. A wealth of worldbuilding and character development potential for 5E D&D awaits through armor and I’m excited to explore them. Let’s get into it.
Play Your Next 5E D&D Game as a Combat Medic
Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted fulfilled a request to come up with the ultimate healer for fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons with the Combat Medic character build. Pointing the Patreon supporter who sent the request towards a 20th level Life Domain cleric seemed a bit boring so they spiced things up for the 5E D&D Combat Medic, which went on to become a silver best seller. Let’s get into it.
