Hello there, adventurers, here is one more sketchy character art. I have no backstory for this lady as she is commissioned, as you can see from the tag. Pretty wild looking lady tho with interesting tail, just my opinion. I bet you can find some information about tieflings in books or somewhere in net, if you are not familiar and interested to know more. As for drawing itself, as always your critics are welcomed, feel free to put some words if you have something to tell.
Soon I will have some more characters for posts, but, need to wait for cooldown of comm posts, you know.
This is all what I wanted to print here, stay safe and have a good day.
See you soon.

So my husband is the DM of our group of 4 or more players. The group has been going on for a solid 6 or more years with players switching out periodically. My husband and I are the only ones of the original group left, and this is based on things he's done throughout the whole 6+ years.

There's been several times during our epic campaign where the whole party would get rewarded with magic items at the end of a particularly hard battle or questline. The DM would tell us each what our items are one by one and he'd usually leave me for last, whereupon he'd gift me a pair of magic boots with varying effects. My PC cannot wear shoes/boots because she's a satyr. I point this out every time and each time the reaction is "Oh, sorry, lol" Then he'd give the boots to another player and leave me with nothing.

It's happened enough times that the pattern was noticed by myself and others at the table (who've all since left) and it seemed to become a running joke for my husband, which I didn't find particularly funny because it meant I kept getting screwed out of rewards.

Recently my PC sold a cursed magic artefact to an alchemist towards the end of one of our sessions, before the session wrapped up I was offered 3000gp in store credit at the alchemists store, I accepted and told my husband out of game that I was planning on spending the store credit next session so that he'd have heads up to create some sort of shop inventory.

Next session rolls around and I tell him I want to use my downtime to spend that store credit. In character, he tells me that he just got in a new shipment of magical footwear and jokingly tries to hype up his wares. I didn't laugh, I was hurt that he was doing this to me yet again and I told him painly, out of character "Love, if you're going to do this thing again where I end up with nothing I can use, could you please just give me the 3000 gold or give me the cursed crown back instead?"

His mood shifted completely and he snapped that he "couldn't keep DMing if this was going to be my attitude" and that the crown had already been sold. Again, I got nothing out of the interaction except the overwhelming urge to cry and a few awkward laughs from one of the other players at the table.

I guess I'm just hurt and confused over why he keeps doing this to me. Maybe perspective from other DMs or players would help?

So my girlfriend who is a huge D&D player, she loves all things, D&D and Baulders gate. Her birthday is in a few weeks and I’d love to get her something really cool that she could maybe utilize at her D&D nights. But alas I know very little about the game. So I am here to see if you guys could offer any suggestions.

The first time this happened I introduced a chef to the party at a tavern, a woman who was known for making extremely spicy chilly. She sent the party on a quest to gather hot peppers, but when the party got back there had been an attack on the town. They saved the woman from a burning building and had her join their group as their cook. But I never had this woman make chilli again. Instead she was obsessed with crafting sweet decisions pies.

Everyone just accepted it and no one said a single word about the change, except for this Player X. Player X pointed out the odd change immediately and were ignored and even gaslit by the other players who insisted that they were pretty sure she had always made pies.

I let it go on for a month before finally the party walked into the kitchen of their base and found themselves treated to a full table of delicious pies. Everyone chowed down, except Player X. Then they all had to make saves as the pies stunned and debilitated them. The cook revealed herself as a Pie Demon (pie friend from 3.5) who had replaced the original chef during the attack on the village all that time ago. Player X was vindicated in front of everyone and all the players had to admit how foolish they had been and Player X saved them as the only member who had refused the suspicious pies.

You'd think after this the party would realize how observant Player X is, but skip a year later and a different campaign and they're at the end game puzzle. Only the true name of the main NPC will solve the puzzle. The party had learned at least 4 titles the NPC had gone by in the past, but none of them worked. One player holds the special item that must be used when calling out the name and became frustrated after their attempts failed. They insisted that the party needed to backtrack through the whole dungeon to find the answer. Player X says (out of character), "wouldn't BLANK be an appropriate alternative to the names we know?" Everyone ignored him, no one says the suggested name, instead saying that it would never be so simple and they all should backtrack the dungeon. 20 minutes later that find the answer in one of the rooms they had skipped only to discover it was the exact name Player X had suggested. Once again, everyone looks dumb as rocks and has to apologize to Player X.

Now for anyone who might think I played this wrong as a DM, I want to make clear that Player X never once tried to hold the item necessary for the true name ritual and also never said the true name in character, they simply made a suggestion OOC. I could have ruled that it worked in that moment regardless, but I tend to prefer letting the characters figure out puzzles, especially puzzles that end the campaign, on their own.

Would you have done the same? Have you ever had a player that was usually right but often overlooked? Or maybe a player that is so self confident that they ignore someone else's correct answer?

A few days ago our group had a really interesting moment and I would like to share it here and ask(especially the other dms) if I was to harsh or if my action was reasonable.

So I am the forever Dm in our group and I actually like it, I have a lot of fun building worlds and adventures for them. But we have one guy who always wants to kill and steal everything he gets close to. I will call him X. The other players mostly manage to stop him but this time they didn’t.

So for some background Information, the players are part of a rebellion, which is currently at war with the kingdom. They managed to overthrow the first city and now have to defend it, which they want to do through infiltrating the enemy’s military leaders and killing them. So they walk to the city where most of them are rallying their troops at the moment and I made clear, that the enforcement of the law is really harsh there, because of the critical times.

At first everything went well, they managed to get their hands on valuable information, weapons and jewellery. Then X wants to sell the jewels to a local shop. I already knew, he was going to try to also steal stuff, so I told him, that most of the shops are guarded through warning systems. After I made up the shop owner, a nice old lady named Gerda, he sells the jewels to her ans everything seems to go well. But then he decides to draw his axe and kill her. At that moment I had enough (and I think all the other players too) so I made her react quick enough to start the alarm. After she died, guards reached the place, fought X and managed to overpower him. And because murder is a serious crime, he got executed the day after.
Would you have done something differently or was my decision reasonable?

''Born in the T'karim temple to refugee parents taken in by the Monks, he was separated from them at birth and raised within the monastery after an ancient prophecy foretold that an outsider born from outsiders would one day bring the deity T'karim back to the mortal realm. Unaware that his parents had been cast out and presumed dead, he grew up as an outsider among his own people, viewed with suspicion and discomfort because of his unusual appearance. Despite this, his adoptive family (especially his brother) showed him love and support, teaching him to see the tribe's rejection as a trial to overcome. At the age of seven, he and his brother secretly explored a forbidden section of the monastery, where he accidentally destroyed a magical artifact that injured them both. To protect his brother, he accepted full responsibility for the incident and was exiled from the tribe. With only a small supply of food, an old quarterstaff, and a few stolen scrolls from his family home, he wandered the world alone for the next two years. Since then, he has followed rumors of frogfolk connected to the T'karim, hoping to one day find his way back to his people and uncover the truth about his origins.'' I made this art for a client named Froggy ^^

My players are just reaching a Lich Queen's fortress in our medieval warfare themed campaign "Banners & Blood", and I wanted to give them an eagle eye view of the place. The main keep guards a contingent of Red Raiders, who have forged a temporary alliance with the Lich Queen against King Hector, and the high tower is where the necromancers dwell. It is guarded by Private Sanctum and pack filled with elite undead knights; My players are free to approach the fortress as they wish, and knowing them, I'm expecting something creative, but one way or another it is likely that the final gauntlet will take place in the necromancer tower. There, I hope to simulate a fast paced dungeon exploration experience as they rush up the levels of the tower and spend resources before the final battle with challenges that can be combat, skill or roleplay based. Normally I do 2-1-1. All the while, a massive combat should be taking place at the same time between their units, using the S&F rules.

Here are some of the units we have crafted for the campaign. Feel free to use them and modify them!

This is a funny story I had to share from last night’s session.

We had a new player join the group after another player had to leave the campaign. We’re level 10, and the new character is a drow warlock with… let’s just say somewhat suspicious motives.

To help explain why the party would trust him, his backstory tied him to the departing PC. He even arrived with a letter of recommendation that basically said, “Yes, he’s a drow, but judge him by his actions, not his appearance.”

The party is currently exploring an ancient tomb belonging to a long-dead order of knights, searching for an artifact. Unfortunately, a cult we’ve been dealing with got there first, so we’re basically clearing the place out room by room. The new character joins right after a major battle from the previous session.

Naturally, there’s some in-character distrust because, well… suspicious drow. But thanks to the recommendation letter, everyone agrees to give him a chance.

About ten minutes later, we run into our first combat of the night. It’s a pretty minor encounter—just a lone stone construct in some narrow tunnels. The kind of fight that’s more about draining resources than actually threatening the party.

The new warlock’s very first roll of the campaign?
Natural 1.

Our table uses the Critical Rolls critical hit and fumble cards. They’re definitely not for everyone, but they’ve created some unforgettable moments. (My character permanently lost an eye to one a while back.)

Since it was a spell attack, the DM drew a magic fumble card and read the effect:

“The caster falls madly in love with the target and defends them for 1d6 rounds.”

He rolled a 4.

So this drow, who had literally just convinced the party to trust him despite all the red flags, immediately turned around and started defending the stone construct and attacking the rest of us.

The construct only survived one more round, but we kept combat going long enough to play out the effect because everyone was laughing too hard not to.

It was one of those perfect D&D moments where the dice create a better story than anyone could have planned. Now several of the characters have even more trust issues with the new guy… while the players all had an absolute blast.

I guess I never paid attention to the fact that you don’t HAVE to run Eldritch blast on your warlock. The class design strongly encourages it with like 3 invocations are boost Eldritch blast directly and indirectly, but the class doesn’t make you run Eldritch blast.

u/Andromedan_Cherri was kind enough to provide the lore of Nina for me to draw

Nina used to be a farm girl with a fascination for magic, so left home to study healing magic and pursue her calling. Midway through her semester, a high-ranking local nobleman searching for a personal attendant who could work on his wounds and keep him company offered her a job as his personal healer. At first, she rejected, but agreed to talk about it more. After a few weeks, she finally agreed and became his personal healer, tending to his wounds and ensuring he was in good health.

While keeping each other company, the two fell in love. However, after he was mortally wounded, she was dismissed from his service. Years passed, after coming to terms with her loss, Nina joined an adventuring party and vowed to never let her healing magic fail any of those close to her again.
