This is how I D&D
World Building is such an important part of any D&D campaign. These articles help a GM build their own world to play in.
I love Worldbuilding.
Much more than I like playing Dungeons & Dragons. (Not that I don’t like playing, but worldbuilding is my jam).
And Worldbuilding actually adds to the enjoyment I have when running my campaign world when I GM D&D.
How?

A temple is rarely just “a building for worship.”
It tends to act like a mirror of the place it’s located in – the settlement’s economy, fears, politics, and even its geography all shape how the god is expressed locally.
In return, the temple reinforces those same traits back into the settlement.
You can think of it as a feedback loop: the land shapes the god’s local face, and the god’s local cult shapes the land’s habits.

I ran another session of 2-player Dungeons & Dragons campaign last night – one of the players couldn’t make it – so the other player decided to work on his tower/inn.
It was a purely logistics-based session: selling items, paying retainers, making deals, and it was heaps of fun!
Stop making your Dungeons & Dragons campaign maps perfect.
No-one in history ever made an accurate map. They used to argue about where places were located all the time.
Let you PCs discover the truth.

In the latest issues of my Dungeons & Dragons zine, d12 Monthly, I have an article on a new type of elf – one that is definitely not Tolkien in design or appearance.
Change is inevitable.
It is the quiet engine that drives history forward. Kingdoms rise and fall. Forests swallow roads. Children become rulers. Empires fracture.
Your campaign world should be no different.
If nothing changes, nothing matters.
Embrace change and you will become a far stronger GM – because change is what makes player choices feel real.

Dusrin is the deity of travel and patron of messengers and explorers, alike.
Due to this, there are many shrines to the god of travel sitting along the side of roads and rivers for people to pay tribute – both in word and in silver – to Dusrin.
Below you will find three unique shrines that characters are likely to discover along more popular road- and river-ways.
Each month, Character Closeup introduces a brand-new NPC related to the current d12 Monthly zine issue. These are fully detailed and ready to use at the table. These are original characters designed to drop straight into your campaign as potential allies, rivals, or adversaries for your adventuring party.
This NPC is associated with Issue 54 of d12 Monthly.
Some make an appearance in my own campaign world.
