Fairy
A glimmer catches your eye, little more than a streak of light in your periphery. It flits, hovering for a split second before dashing away, leaving a trail of glittering spores in its wake. As its light fades, you catch the briefest glimpse of dragonfly wings and an inquisitive face.
Gnome’s Comradery
“It can be hard for someone of my stature to feel brave in the face of such monstrous things. But when I stand beside all of you, why, I—I feel four feet tall!”
Goat
For a domesticated animal, the look this goat gives you is inexplicably forbidding, perhaps because you’ve interrupted its meal. Its jaw’s motion slows as it locks eyes with you . . . is it lowering its head?
Road Through Grassland
The simple, dirt road, worn by foot traffic, hooves, and wagon wheels, winds it way through the countryside. Fields of yellow and green grass, broken only by the occasional copse of trees, sprawl in all directions, disappearing over the vast horizon.
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.
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.
Poisoned Commoner
The commoner’s face is gaunt, pale; their eyes, sunken. Veins are visible just beneath the skin, black and snaking. They cough, and stumble. “I don’t . . .” they slur. “I don’t feel so good.” They topple, shaking, bile foaming in their mouth.
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.
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.

We all know that time is a limited resource, especially when preparing for your D&D sessions. dScryb allows me to utilize a team of talented writers to fill in the gaps and add immersion to my campaign. So if you're like me and your players have a habit of taking things off the rails, having dScryb in your back pocket can be a real life saver.
Ted Sikora from Nerd Immersion
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.
Tyler from RPGBOT.net
I used the free tool for only a couple days and was so impressed that I had to get the best version. I DM'd last night for my group and they asked me what I was doing different because they noticed the better story descriptions.

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

Bro you got a freaking Goblin with a Coconut for a Character, I love this place already XD
EthanUnited Kingdom
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.)
AshleySt. Petersburg, FL
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.
MattUnited Kingdom
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.
Ross S.Portsmouth, UK

Featured Player Character

Auby

The weathered gnome squints from beneath bushy white brows. His eyes roam, focused on passersby, as he wipes a stain from the front of a well-worn jumpsuit, baggy and faded but otherwise in good condition. Wrinkles line his face, deepening as he smirks or winks—the wear of decades, but also of mirth.
