Awesome D&D Players Know the Power of a Campfire Video Greetings, fellow adventurers! In the vast realm of Dungeons & Dragons, where mighty dragons soar and dungeons await to be explored, a simple element like a campfire can often be overlooked. However, seasoned players and…
My last long campaign I did this thing where every time there was a campfire, or something else that made me roll on the random encounter table, I would prompt two random characters with a random conversation topic.

I found a list online and added my own ideas to it, stuff like “why did you become an adventure?”, “what will you do after this adventure is over?” and “who is your greatest friend/enemy?”
