Charm Person
Casting this spell is always a risk, but sometimes the situation makes it necessary. You fix a smile on your face and look toward your target, thinking about an old friend.
Atoll
Masses of coral rise from the sea, forming a chain of islands that peek above the waterline just enough to expose it to sunlight. Creatures roam these wisps of land—perhaps found nowhere else.
Vampire Spawn
What sympathies this person had with the living have long departed. Skin too pallid, hair too limp, eyes too hungry, and teeth far too long—the body play-acts at living while the soul within revels in death.
Bless
You flick holy water from your fingers, and it scatters into sparkling light that drifts against the wind toward those you protect. The blessing you grant settles about their shoulders like golden cloaks before vanishing.
Hand Crossbow
Small but effective, the crossbow’s pine grip fits easily into your palm—perhaps even up your sleeve. The trigger tightens with tension as you gingerly cock the abbreviated metal lath, ready to loose a bolt with a quiet that belies its punch.
Plateau
The plateau is a distinct and unmistakable sight, with soaring, sheer sides and a flat, sprawling top. It rises from the earth, evoking the image of a mountain with its top hewn cleanly.
Purify Food and Drink
You gesture broadly toward the objects before you, and a slight wind picks up. Any mold, impurities, or corruption vanishes with the wind, taken like ash on the breeze.
Peninsula
The land sprawls into the sea, extending like an outstretched limb into the water beyond. The sea surrounds it on three sides—a nearly unbroken horizon.

I'm really impressed by dScryb. They have tons of content already and everything I've seen is spectacular. They even take custom scene requests. Here's one I requested: Dark Casting of Cure Wounds. Seriously, look at this and tell me that it doesn't make you want to drop what you're doing and play some games.

Thank YOU GUYS! This [scene] is truly amazing, and exactly what I was looking for. Cheers to all and well done!

I'm already super impressed with your service. I'm very critical of products and services and hard to please but YOU. ARE. KILLING IT! I've been looking through your descriptions and I can't say how much I'm going to treasure using these.

I want to thank you all for the beautiful descriptions and for giving creative dungeon masters and authors alike an outlet to write these wonderful boxed text scenes for us to devour.

This is one of the things I struggle with most in coming up with content for my campaign. I'm going to use the hell out of this site!! (Reddit.)

Used dScryb last night in our game and it was really useful, thanks. Both I and my players appreciated it. Looking forward to what's to come.

Thank you so much. Blandalf is a character that is close to my heart and you guys did him justice. I'm so excited knowing that he could appear in people's games all around the world.

Featured Player Character

Sir Dale of the Dale Lands

The slim little halfling gracefully turns to you, a short cape whirling behind his dapper figure as he does so. His smile flashes on and off again, swift as the snap of fingers, but eyes of brilliant green continue to merrily regard you from a face as pale as the moon. His hands flourish dexterously as he makes a short bow, but you still feel as though he’s looking down his nose at you.

About

dScryb provides Boxed Text—descriptive text of places, monsters, spells, items, characters, and other observations—meant to be read aloud by GMs to players. It is set in the world of epic fantasy, like many of your favorite RPGs. Great boxed text shows its subject by describing the sensory experience. And it often sets the narrative tone, introduces the scene, and spotlights what's important.

Let dScryb’s team of talented writers and editors pore over every word of boxed text, freeing your creative energy and time for all the other aspects of planning and running the perfect adventure.
