Roll for Inspiration: The Ultimate Guide to Dungeons & Dragons Wishes
Finding the perfect words for a friend's greeting card can feel like a quest in itself. When that friend is a fellow adventurer who knows the difference between a Beholder and a Gelatinous Cube, a generic "Happy Birthday" or "Good Luck" just won't cut it. You need a message that speaks their language—a language of crits and fumbles, of epic quests and long rests, of the shared stories you’ve built together one dice roll at a time.
Whether you're celebrating their personal level-up (a birthday!), wishing them luck on a new quest (a new job!), or just sending a "Healing Word" their way, the right D&D-themed wish shows you care. This guide is your spellbook, filled with unique and creative messages crafted for every adventurer in your party.
