Is DM block (like writer's block) a thing?

So I homebrew my campaign for a few friends, and we're about 1/3 of the way through the story. The issue I've been having is I can't seem to find a way to get them to the next point in an interesting way. They know what they have to do, but they're missing a bit of information on how to do it so they're kinda in a standstill and I don't know how to help them without just telling them. Also, it's a kind of trial thing, and there are 11 total they need to clear. It's I'm worried that eventually it'll be repetitive, so do any of you have any good elemental/titan themed puzzles, battles, or anything that I could borrow for my players? They're basically going through dungeons meant to protect many different titans (Life, air, death, fire, ice, terror, arcane, water, earth tempest, rage) and I want to make every one unique and novel. They've already done water, which had a monster and a few water riddles. Any suggestion would be awesome! (edited)

I guess trials are usually best done in 3s? If you really want to f*ck with your players, create a timeloop Dungeon that relives the killing or maiming of a previous NPC that was unnecessary, and the timeloop will keep resetting only until each member of the party gives up the one item or clothing previous to them. I dunno, maybe I've watched too much Avengers End Game πŸ˜‚

I would say a DM block is 100% a thing and whenever I'm stuck in one (like the forever DM I am) I like to do a oneshot that is fully improvised to inspire myself!

D&D players?

Im looking to play some D&D, But I struggle to find people near me who also do. My last DM was poor to teach me how to play, and I left my mini figure over there 😒 Drax the Paladin Based off of my real life dog. Yep. Deal with it. Kind of homebrew race, but relatively balanced.

D&D players?

Anyone up for some D&D/TTRPG (EST/EDT)

Wondering if anyone is interested in doing a campaign in any system. The style of game is more story driven than combat but will be a mix between both. Up for any setting, and I would don’t mind being the DM unless someone else wants to.

I love brainstorming for DND

Like, what if there was a bbeg or deity who has all the power to level a country, but as an absolute power move chooses not to use it for actual annihilation, instead flaunting it so much that everyone fears him too much to challenge him. He secretly decided long ago that he would let himself be... read more

Having a 3d printer is pretty fun..

And now some of the creature, scenery and characters are brought to life. It also makes a good excuse to have a break from DMing occasionally and do painting instead
