Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

This is my long time dnd Character, Ferngully! She’s a circle of stars druid, and a devout follower of the Greek god Dionysus ^^

She’s originally based off of the Greek satyrs, Dionysus’s children and followers in Greek lore, rather than the traditional feywild satyrs from dnd cannon lore books. I’ve played her in two table top games, and online game, and then also through dnd inspired Conan exiles servers too! She’s got a long and rich history/story I’ve built up for her over the years, AND more art work included haha

Ferngully comes from a small village at the base of a mountain on Achea, a island seven hundred miles away from Faerun~ There, there are a lot of Greek inspired races and human cultures, given the influence from further up the mountain. It’s said if one can find the right path up it, one might find themselves in Olympus itself if they are so lucky 👀

Ferngully’s herd has always followed Dionysus and always throws parties and festivals in hopes they are lucky enough to entice him to join in the festivities~

Perhaps that’s why such an odd encounter with a mysterious man at a festival, eventually lead to Ferngully’s life changing forever…

Finished this ARCHAIN DUALIST commission for the upcoming card game Watchers of Lysander ⚔️

Had a lot of fun working on this one, especially bringing the character and all the details together. happy with how it turned out! Really enjoyed working on this dual-blade character, especially the muddy skin, tattoos, and battle-ready look. Tried to give them a rough, gritty feel while keeping the design and details readable

If you’re into fantasy card games and artwork, definitely check out the project and show them some love.

The group, now level 8 and having played together since level 1, went to take on a cavern of monsters, unprepared as usual, clearing it at great cost: one unconscious but stable, another with two failed death saves, and a dead druid. Whoever was still alive was almost completely out of resources.

The cleric used her last spell slots on a homebrew spell to temporarily bring the druid back, as they didn't have the diamonds because the person carrying them did not show up.

The spell allows you to resurrect a creature that has been dead for less than an hour without any material cost, but the resurrection only lasts for a random duration of up to 24 hours before the target dies again. They permanently lose a Hit Die and the maximum HP it provided. It also resets the timer for other resurrection spells.

End of session, and they have a week to plan. The next session, the person carrying the diamonds is back, and they decide that the best course of action is to kill the druid and revive them again so they are certain they are there when they die, which, by all means, is a fair plan. I say this can be roleplayed out by snapping the neck, but they insist on hitting the druid 14 times with their fists until they're dead. (I think it was personal.)

This is when they realize that the only person in the party who has Revivify is the druid, who they just killed.

I laughed so hard at their conviction that this was a great plan, but I did feel a bit bad. The cleric has no more spell slots to bring the druid back, and the group's necromancer offers to turn the druid into a thrall. Very rejected.

Now the group has to travel to see if they can find someone capable of bringing their friend back.

Do anyone else have some great tales from their players or groups greatest failures?

(Sorry in advance, don't know how to use the flair here so I just put the miscellaneous flair on this here post)
I, as the DM for a campaign where I had lots of things planned, five players with diverse characters, and several unique bosses and sometimes insane encounters all plotted out down to a tee, lost interest in both the campaign and the players. Despite me having everything down to the final encounter essentially planned out, I lost the will to DM in that campaign after finally losing my cool one day due to how some of the players had been treating me, in and out of campaign. I want to know how I can safely end this campaign and move away from these people, without causing any bad blood. Does anyone have ideas on how I could do this? Thanks either way, even if you don't have any ideas.

I received a request recently by a player, and they asked that I base the look of the character on the Madras style from Guadeloupe, which is where their mother is from.

In included the head garment per their instruction, and some of the basic elements for the rest of the outfit, however I decided to add a cape and some jewelry to really set the piece off.

She is a half elf sorcerer, and the fan she holds contains inscriptions for spells that she uses throughout the campaign.

For this piece, I wanted to portray her using her magic, but I also felt it would be interesting to have her look almost as if she is dancing. The movement of her cloth and jewelry really helped in suggesting that, and overall gave the piece a lot of the motion I was looking for.

The character’s facial features are also based on the player’s mother, and I was given an old family photo to use as reference in order to capture her likeness.

Closeup of a recent commission I posted roughly less than two weeks ago,, the fullbody shot was too blurry to zoom into so I'm putting up another one to show off this character in all its glory!!

This OC is a fae wizard turned into a forest monster, who belongs to the creative GrottyLittleFox on VGen!! Honestly I didn't expect this to receive SO MUCH love when I posted it before but it does inspire me with ALOT of confidence!!

Basically, the title. I sometimes have a hard time finding the perfect map for the encounters I'm planning, so I'm looking into making them myself. Not really looking into paid tools because even the relatively affordable plans are kinda pricy in my country's currency. Ideally looking for something easy to use.

Alternatively, I do have Talespire and while I don't get to use it, I was wondering if making maps there using top-down screenshots would work.
