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.

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.

This is pretty awesome! Really descriptive and really helps with the immersion.

I prep each session for the same amount of time but get more accomplished. And dScryb really helps me set the tone.
ThomasToronto, Canada
The boxed text is great and my players got excited when they heard my narration of some of these places. The roleplay that followed was really good too.
LizAtlanta, USA
I've struggled to describe monsters in a way that's succinct, scary, and exciting. dScryb has helped me nail it, and encounters are even better now for my players.
ChrisLos Angeles, USA
I was nervous to DM when LMoP ended, but my players and I wanted to continue our own adventure. dScryb helped me transition to my own campaign and it's made me more confident in describing the settings.
JenVancouver, Canada
dScryb has been a game changer for prep work. And in addition to the boxed text which I narrate to my players, it has improved my own improvised descriptions of the campaign settings.

About

dScryb provides Boxed Text—descriptive text of places, monsters, spells, 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. Good boxed text shows its subject by describing the sensory experience. And it often sets the narrative tone, introduces the scene, or spotlights what is 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.
