  • This video discusses how to build a home base players characters can use for dungeons & dragons. A large number of home base examples are discussed in detail. A dungeon master or game master guide suggesting my own personal experiences being a dungeon master, and experiences from other dungeon masters. There is heavy borrowing from all over the internet, but in particular Sly Flourish. None of this content is official. This covers a range of different options for dungeon masters, with recommendations. I refer most of my comments to dungeons & dragons 5e.

    As a player in a campaign we were in a temple a few hours from a massive settlement and it had a secret bar, a shrine, smithing room and stuff.
    After we threw out the big bad evil guys my friends were done with it but I really liked it so I started renovating! Added a bath room, herb growing room, escape routes, a training area, a secret vault, alarm system and more. I spend favours I had and a lot of gold to make it my own. And I am super stocked about it and planning more.
    DM never even thought of this to be our house but he is really happy and supporting me in making it!
    Using this to think what to add more so thank you for your amazing video

    a flying orphanage/school, it is a sentient castle-sized flying tree that can land and take off. the roots act as landing legs/refueling, the headmistress is an elf whom herself grew up on the street, later in life she became a druid and went on a quest to create the orphanage.

    you could´ve a castle, mansion or cave. or several
    smaller houses in a village or town with tunnels
    connecting them all and´ve a larger area underground
    in the middle where all tunnels meet. the tunnels
    can´ve rooms connected to them for storege of food,
    gear, treasure, weapons, experiments and training.
    you may as a party´ve to dig the tunnels yourselves
    to keep them secret. don´t forget to reenforce them
    and any room well so they don´t collapse. you could
    of course hire people to help that you trust well.
    not sure what it´d cost or how long it´d take to make.
    1 of the buildings can even be a tavern to easily find
    out goings on around the area/town/country side or in
    other towns and cities. phandalin in lost mines of
    phandelver´s many vacated/abandoned houses the above
    tunnel system can work for and each player having
    his/her own home to do with what they want could maby
    work for them. not many secrets to explore though..
    unless you digg into the old phandalin that used to be
    there long ago of course. you could of course skip having
    a home base and be more of a traveling adventurer, sleeping
    and eating in inns, taverns, the wild, at npc´s homes. and
    if you get a lot of money, jewels and such put it in a bank
    or in several banks in several cities and towns that you
    know you visit or pass by a lot on your travels. just in
    case you need funds they wont ever be too far away. you
    can train in nature, you can read books or borrow them from
    city or town libraries, you can do magical and herbal
    experiments in nature. you could gather and hunt food, herbs
    and spices for free. go to the batroom anywhere, wash yourself
    in a river, lake or the sea. tying yourself down to a place
    could mean wasting a lot of time there and keeping many things
    you don´t really need. but it´s up to the players to chose what
    they want to do.

      I see that you're a man of culture as well (old school He-Man).
      Remember to get proficiency in Cooking Utensils and a tiger sidekick (use the normal stat block out of combat, and the sidekick character sheet when in combat).

    I have a group of characters that are essentially nomadic (having been banished from their respective villages). They have several bases scattered about in strategic but relatively inaccessible/secret locations as well as some “safe houses” owned by NPCs. They Also have caches of supplies scattered about that they can access. My point is that you might need more than one base. Also all my NPCs and monsters likewise have their base(s) of operations

    can a physical door be enchanted with Demiplane so there's a reliable exit? if so there's no reason not to ring a large room in them.

    • @kingmasterlord

      each door's demiplane can have a network of such doors that link to it, perhaps one per Plane even.

      would be nice if you put it in the title? seems rather misleading because i was expecting something actually showing me numbers examples and stuff. you know like most videos that are in the explanatory section. Most successful people on this platform show more than tell.

      @@anthonykravitz6156 You are the only one to suggest the title is misleading. I made this video doing research on internet articles, books and video's. No one at the time I made this, had done what you expected and still haven't in a video. You aren't getting game numbers because it's Dungeons and Dragons version agnostic. What you want is a D&D 5e home base building guide, correct?
