At least for our little gaggle of nerdery.<br><br>Magic &amp; Mayhem is a community dedicated to playing TTRPGs and sharing TTRPG content (legitimately) with one another. We&#8217;re not saying everything should be free, but some things should. We&#8217;ll post free maps and other supplements we find (or make), we&#8217;ll give you links to good resources and then ridicule you for not knowing about them in the first place, and we&#8217;ll give you honest and jaded opinions about the TTRPG space in offensive ways. Sounds great right?<br><br>We&#8217;re not looking for a following, but we are looking for a few good, honest, dice goblins that can&#8217;t get enough of RPGs. The kinds of nerds that love to talk about them, play them, and scare people with how much they know about them while they slip on a pair of mirror shades to play an online game of Cyberpunk RED with their friends. The kind of person that carries a d20 to in their pocket to make real life decisions with. I want that person in my fucking discord server with me.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>~ The Dour DM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">Recent Posts<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list has-dates has-author wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/magicandmayhem.org\/?p=622\">Dungeon Crawl Classics &#8211; Multiple Attacks and Mighty Deeds of Arms<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-author\">by The Dour DM<\/div><time datetime=\"2025-04-22T00:37:55+00:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">April 22, 2025<\/time><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">I&#8217;ve been running a new system these days: Dungeon Crawl Classics (new to me, at any rate).
