as you wish

i'm trying to make more time for donjon work this year, starting out with tricks and some variations on room features in the random dungeon generator

I turned a Barbie Dream House into a D&D tavern YouTube video by Ginny Di

does anyone not know about this yet?
you're welcome, if you didn't.

hi! i'm glad the site's been useful to you! stay safe, stay strong, and may your dice be kind to you. slava ukraini!

meanwhile, to avoid work updating ancient javascript, we've been up to this sort of nonsense...

donjon.bin.sh/5e/5_room/

i can take a look, but what do you think is not quite right?

its been some work, but some more D&D 5.5 tools are finally (mostly) usable enough to unleash.

treasure generator…

dungeon generator…
donjon.bin.sh/5e5/dungeon/

dungeon monster treasure is bugged, being worked on.

apologies if the site was slow/down earlier today, chinese bot nets have been BUSY. hopefully these IP blocks work long enough.

absolutely, its on my shelf

Welcome to the Elemental Plane of Sharpness! Oh, you're bleeding, from there... and there. Just all of you now, blood.

the site may have been a little *quirky* earlier today, thanks to cloudflare becoming really confused by things moving around on my dev server. its been sorted out with some tea and jaffa cakes, now. you may have to reload the page if it still looks quirky.

RIP botsin.space

all the dumb little donjon bots on mastodon will probably be shutting down, i don't particularly want to find another server for them. they're all still here on bluesky.

with the new player's handbook out, a D&D 5.5 section has been added to the site.

donjon.bin.sh/5e5/

there's not a lot there yet, more will be added when the dungeon master's guide and monster manual are released.

GAMERS 4: DORKNESS FALLS You seem trustworthy. Would you care to join us on our noble quest?

The new GAMERS movie sequel is crowdfunding! Only a few days left, and it just needs a nudge to hit its funding goal! I'm a backer!
(I hear a rumor that they have a bit part for me like they did in Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising…)

but if you choose to use them, pick and choose what feels right to you. and none of it's going to save the PCs when the xenomorphs come.

i hope there's a fair mix of "this should do something, but we can't figure it out," "this is the weirdest flashlight i've ever seen," "this weapon-thing is totally awesome and i never want to touch a pulse rifle again," and "the void has looked deep within me, and i must go insane now."

still, you can't have a scientist in your group of PCs for too long before the grumbling starts that they never find any artifacts that they can pick up and use for something. so, here we go.

there seems to be a line in the setting between humans, who are always carrying around loads of junk to detect things, fix things, and shoot things, and engineers, who pretty much don't. besides that flute.

i've killed a bug which was preventing the Town Generator from working properly in Chromium-based browsers. thanks to everyone who reported it. onward!

i'm trying to get into the mindset that no change is too small to talk about, in an effort to post more often. this week, marco wanted to be able to use the town generator <https://donjon.bin.sh/fantasy/town/> to produce clean maps, without labels. so now there's a checkbox for that.

saw someone who works at paradox share some job postings on linkedin and in the comments someone posted an article about what happened to HBS and the response makes it clear to me that internally everyone at paradox was lied to about what happened, so thats cool
