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 character Morwen! She is a Hexblade/Paladin Reborn human.

Our party got into some trouble with the law and in exchange for aid in their escape, they promised a performance as entertainment to an influential person. The performance was to take place during a festival and we had some down time to prepare.

I had so much fun thinking of different get ups to hide her identity and this is what I ultimately landed on. As you can tell, its heavily inspired by the iron maiden torture device.

Anyway, would love to hear the ridiculous ways your characters have tried hiding their identity.

This is my OC Thaerion, he comes from a long line of conquerors and is currently first in line for the throne.

He's a Dark magic user and a highly proficient Swordsman often stated to be one of if not the best in the kingdom. He's not sentimental and dislikes sweet stuff except for some honey in his morning tea.

He doesn't like to hunt and thinks it is a sport for men who cannot face skilled warriors in battle.

He came to be known as a war criminal after using blood magic to resurrect slain soldiers on the battlefield while laying siege to a fort.

Although he isn't above using dark magic he typically won't cheat or use underhanded methods to win a battle and has some level of concern towards his soldiers as he wouldn't put them in unnecessary danger unless he can get something out of it. He also considers his own life of more importance to his soldiers so he would sacrifice them to save himself.

My cosplay of my D&D ocs that I made

​

1.Imogen Kirrin. She is a sun elf barbarian (wild magic barbarian).

​

As a retired adventurer, currently she is a tavern owner and it's keeper, not an adventurer anymore.

She got a ton of gold from an adventure campaign, enough money to started her own business.

​

2.Ragnar the wild heart barbarian.

​

She was born in a guard family. Her parents are caravan guards.

​

Ragnar started to travel with her parents and their caravan when she is 15 years old and started to work as a caravan guard just like her parents when she is 18.

​

Now she is 28 traveling with caravans and her co-workers friends. (Her parents are still alive. They are just retired from their job.)

​

3.Alisara Kwanjai the evocation wizard.

​

She is my first D&D wizard character. I created her because I want to try to play a caster class.

She is a student in a wizard university in Waterdeep. And she is a hothead person.

​

4.Henna Jovie the half orc fighter.

I created her for a while but still don't have much idea about her yet.

​

​

​

Her name is Alexya Venéra Veron but you can call her Lexi.
Her future is bright but her past is dull and shall forever be forgotten.
She was born on a perfectly lovely summer day in a perfectly lovely village to perfectly lovely parents who were, in fact, so lovely that, against all tradition, they didn't drown her in the river when they saw the tail, horns, hooves, and magenta skin.
They did their best to raise her well against all of her deformities but of course, their best was never good enough.
She was fitted with glass lenses to conceal her eyes, shoes tailored for her hooved feet, and bone dentures to mask her sharp teeth. Long-sleeved dresses and layers of lead makeup covered her skin. Her horns were sawn down to stumps, and her tail was bound beneath her skirts.
This ruse worked like magic and Lexi found herself to be engaged to the major's unremarkable third son. This was a tragedy. She was ment for greater things, so on her wedding day as she was dramatically sprawled across an armchair she wished a little too hard that she would rather go to hell... hell suddenly answered.
This was the moment, she met her first patron and that is how her pursuit of fame, influence, and luxury began. Since then, she has climbed steadily upward on the backs of powerful men (and ungendered entities). But of course, nothing and no one ever remains good enough for too long. For that reason, she is currently serving her seventh patron, a very pleasant archfey lord called Silverline. She's got some nice little gifts from her exes: rings shining with starlight, pendants that turn into cozy rooms, her lovely pet Cinder, a restraining order and the list goes on.
She travels to distant lands, meets fascinating people, and pursues ever more promising opportunities, all in service of making her one true love happy. That love being herself, of course.
The horns have been replaced and bolted to the old stumps, enhanced and polished beyond their original glory. Her hooves gleam with varnish, her eyes glow brightly, and her sharp smile has never been wider. Her dream is to one day become a strong, independent woman with protégés of her own.

The dm of this current side campaign is gonna let me learn 1st, 2nd, and if we level up before the main campaign starts again 3rd level spells from old editions. ill take 1d6 psychic damage per spell level from casting older edition spells.

this is just for the funnies, this short side campaign is for fun while the main one is on pause, so if its broken it doesn't matter.

plus, in order to learn them i have to search the underdark and find a mad mage

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to create one NPC sheet per month to help game masters during their sessions.

Here are a few of them; I’m also making them available for free on my Patreon.

This is Alida, a half-elf girl who runs a tavern with her best friend Octavia.

They’re very close, and they both have their hands full keeping the tavern up and running and in order.

I created them for a maritime adventure, but I think they’d work well for any kind of adventure.

I hope you like them and find them useful.

Hello fellow d & d players! I have been playing this game for about 8 months or so and am recently running into a possible problem with my play style.

I'm basically curious if I'm being as asshole and ruining the fun for others...

I play in several campaigns at my local game shop. At one table I play a rogue. She is chaotic and I have had a really good time being a loose canon. I don't do anything too insane to derail things, I mostly just like to pickpocket people and take shiny things.

Here enters the problem. Last session, part of it was about my character and her backstory. Estranged sister (who betrayed me) has kidnapped local guards who my party was sent to save. Upon reaching my sister, we learn one of the guards killed her daughter (my niece?!?) because she had been bitten by vampire. Didn't even give the poor girl a chance, just put her down.

I roleplay the heck out of this! My character is basically saying a life for a life, and wants to murder the guard who killed the little girl. My party obviously doesn't want me to do this and it becomes a standoff. We roll initiative and I'm second after the warlock in my party.

Warlock spends his turn trying to persuade me to stop. We roll off, he wins. I concede. Beautiful heart to heart moment happens with my sister and I, we save the guards. Happily ever after yeah?

On the way to the car after the session my bestie states "wow the newer players in our group really hated you tonight."

And now my mind is spiraling...

Am I actually being a problem and standing in the way of my party having fun?

Is there even space for a chaotic character within an adventuring party?

Is d & d legit supposed to just be the party working together constantly or are moral dilemmas a part of the game/story?

Help and advice please.

I stopped playing almost a year ago because I had exams but, now thst they’re over, I’ve decided to pick the game back up again with a new campaign.

This is a character I had back when I last played (before exams), I really fleshed out her character and backstory but my old DM did nothing with it so I’m reusing her for this new campaign because, I’ve been told, the new DM implements the backstories of the characters a lot more.

She’s a human barbarian taking the path of the berserker named Natalia

Ruby Hammerwhacker

Pronouns: She/Her Race: Halfling Class: Rogue (Charlatan)

Ruby Hammerwhacker is a practiced charlatan with light fingers and a sharp tongue. She drifts from town to town under borrowed names, leaving behind lighter pockets and lingering irritation. Stealing is what she knows how to do, and she’s convinced it’s the only thing she’s truly good at.

She hides behind humor as instinctively as she picks locks. There’s always a joke ready, especially when the moment least calls for one. Ruby carries a small collection of mismatched holy symbols, praying to whichever god seems most likely to be listening at the time. It isn’t devotion so much as hope. Faith, to her, is less belief and more a last attempt at balance.

Around town, she’s a familiar nuisance, known by several aliases and never by the same one twice. She runs when she’s caught, and often before she can be needed. Vulnerability scares her more than guards or gallows ever could. There is one story she never jokes about: a heist that went wrong, a mistake that cost a friend their life. No matter how far Ruby travels, that guilt keeps pace with her.

Ruby is never fully at rest. When she sits, she angles herself to watch exits and movement. If she turns her back on a room, it is only briefly, and only when she believes it’s safe enough to risk. Her hands are almost always busy, rolling coins or lockpicks across her fingers, practicing subtle motions out of habit rather than necessity. When she’s anxious, the movements grow faster and more intricate.

Note: Here is the character reference, she is the only character who actually has a full sketched reference of EXACTLY what I want her to look like.

My commissions are open! Feel free to reach out via DM or through VGen. ^^

A little piece I did for my friend of her OC

Sera is a happy-go-lucky, and a bit silly, warrior from the north who loves hunting, fighting and cheese. In combat she doesn't use regular weapons and instead relies on her werewolf transformation to tear her enemies into pieces. Later on in the story she becomes a champion of the god of the Sun in the setting.
She also has an awesome werewolf son named Sevoryn.

Also no, I haven't drawn the werewolf form just yet, but will later
