The role of a bard in the world of Dungeons and Dragons is a fascinating one. Like the shimmering strings of a finely tuned lute, the bard dances between recreation and narration, imagination and improvisation. But have you ever wondered if the bard can be more than just the charming face and the soothing voice? Could their antics and melodies be a harbinger of devastation rather than mere distraction? Could their laughter be the best genocide?
What if you could be a jester whose jokes can kill?
Welcome to the realm of Bardgames. DragonChiffchaff is thrilled to announce the new version of “Bardgames,” a 40-page PDF masterpiece, available now on DM’s Guild. This guide pushes the boundaries of what it means to be a bard in D&D Fifth Edition, and it’s now available in English and French.
Awakening The Overpowered Bard
Have you ever found yourself asking, “Which bard subclass is best?” Or perhaps, “Is the Bard overpowered?”
