What is one thing you say no to?

We're not talking about saying no to unsolicited PVP, saying no to unwanted NSFW stuff, saying no to OP homebrew.

We're talking about the smaller nos, the ones that is less about rules or good player etiquette, but rather, lack of preference, lack of experience, or you don't just want it in your game.

This question came up in my mind when I joined a homebrew campaign a few weeks ago and the DM told me that he doesn't want to implement player character backstories, not because of animosity but because he struggles to do it. I respected his decision because he was willing to admit fault, he knows his comfort zone.

For myself, I personally don't do downtime activities, unless the party asks for it specifically but even then I'll keep it short and simple, I just don't find it that interesting and I see it as filler.

Hi, this is my first post in this subreddit and hopefully the first of many. This was a drawing I did on r/characterdrawing for a request. The style is heavily inspired by the art of @ artharakka namely the way she includes all the personal items into the character sheets as a subtle way of storytelling. I’m trying to spruce up my character art and I’m really proud how this turned out. One thing I’m considering is to add scribbles and text to certain items in the drawing like it’s someone writing in a journal observations about the character.

When I say this, I mean the actual logistics of getting them to stop coming. My party has this one guy who genuinely never stops ruining plans the players made, interrupting deep moments, breaking character, breaking rules, breaking meta, and he’s genuinely just here to screw around more than to play DND. I’ve sat him aside many a time to try and get things straight but never once have I seen a change. I set him three strikes and he practically speedran getting himself banned, but the next session he still showed up and will not leave if asked. I ignore him best I can, and the rest of the party try too, but this is honestly ruining the game for me and likely the players. I need some kind of way to actually have the ban work. Any ideas or things I might not have thought of?

This artwork was made for a commission, and I ended up loving the final result because I had so much fun throughout the entire process. During this piece, I experimented with a new rendering and finishing technique that I’ve been wanting to try for a while, and honestly, I’m really happy with how it turned out in the end.

Exploring new textures, lighting, and details during the painting process made this illustration feel very special to work on. It’s always exciting when a commission also becomes an opportunity to grow artistically and test new ideas.

What do you guys think about the final result?

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share this commission I had the pleasure of working on ✨ This character isn’t one of my original creations, but a commission for a client. Meet Rhythm, a Tiefling Bard Dancer! I had so much fun bringing their design to life and exploring their vibrant personality through this piece. I hope you love how they turned out, and thank you so much for all the support always 💜

Hello there, adventurers, here is another one sketchy character commission I drew recently. And as it was the comm, I have no backstory for her , but we can take a look to the character and see that she is not quite regular drow , I guess. But , what I love in dnd most- you can create, almost whatever you like, build your own story around it, even if you don’t p,at. Good brain exercises tbh.
Well, as for the drawing-your critics are welcomed, feel free to put some words if you have something to tell. As for Drow- pretty sure you know a lot already and you can find information in net or books, pretty sure they will tell you about drows much more better than I can.
This is all what I wanted to print here, stay safe and have a good day, see you next week with next sketch!

Hi, this is a drawing of the major players in the plot of my campaign. My players are not really typical heroes yet. Most of them come from criminal backgrounds, and now they’ve been thrown into a massive power struggle between different crime syndicates.

Here are the major players in the image for anyone interested. And tell me witch one would you side with

1. Top right – Kazimierz Radzimov
   A scarred former noble knight and the last survivor of his house after the war. He now leads partisan fighters loyal to the old king, but funds his rebellion through crime, arson, and underground operations.

2. Top right – Adrianno Klich
   A ruthless crime boss from Kalvaron who leads a gang called the Dogs. They’re violently loyal and completely unhinged. Adrianno only cares about profit. His motto is basically: “Business, business, business.”

3. Middle – Madam Dalia LaCandree, also known as “Mother”
   A classy noblewoman who runs an orphanage in Hregar. To the public she seems like a caring old lady helping lost children, but in reality the kids work as spies, thieves, and drug runners for her criminal network.

4. Bottom left – Ali Nammar, “The Gold Dragon”
   A pirate, arms dealer, and former mercenary who settled in Malevor after the war. He now controls a powerful smuggling syndicate.

5. Bottom right – Zbigniew Hygala
   A former mercenary who once worked for Adrianno. After being humiliated and treated like “just another dog,” he betrayed him. My players were originally hired to kill him, but decided to spare him instead. Now he secretly works with them while hiding from Adrianno’s gang.

6. Top – Cobra
   Nobody knows who he is or where he lives. The only thing known is that he controls the production of “Sapphire,” a rare drug made from fairy dust harvested in the Brokillon forests. The dust allows a form of interplanar travel, which makes it incredibly valuable to powerful political figures.

Banbowlbear

“I was so preoccupied with whether I could slap antlers on an owlbear that I didn’t stop to think if I should have… But they’re not my problem anymore!”

—Dr. Francis Stein, Irresponsible Biomancer

Having heard of a growing demand for “owlbear handlers”, Dr. Francis N. Stein took upon himself to create the perfect specimen to solve everyone’s needs. In a catastrophic misunderstanding of the request at hand, however, the mad biomancer created an “owlbear with antlers”: a larger, more adaptable species that only exacerbated the need for proper owlbear population control. Left with no choice, the Borderless Union of Magizoological Sciences has categorised these ‘banbowlbears’ as a category V invasive species, and compensating adventurers that can lower their numbers to an acceptable degree.

Acclimated & Insulated. Despite what their appearance might suggest, banbowlbears are not exclusive to arctic environments, and often roam into warm regions when resources become scarce. Their white coats are composed of hollow fur and feathers, which insulate the banbowlbears by trapping air pockets that regulate their body heat according to their surroundings. Coats made from banbowlbear fur are highly sought for their thermal regulating properties, but remain relatively cheap thanks to the Beast’s status as an invasive species in every ecosystem it is found on.

Invasive Megafauna. Rivaling the size of an elephant, banbowlbears have no natural predators to keep their population in check. Their diets consist of roots and small invertebrates dug out of the ground using the banbowlbear’s massive, shovel-like antlers. Should they be left on their own, a handful of banbowlbears is capable of toppling an entire forest in a matter of weeks in search of food, permanently disrupting the local ecosystem.

Hey y'all, This is my first OC in a series, I am going to make 4 more characters for a total of 5 characters in the party.

Her name is Layla and she's a human rogue, she is an exiled noble's daughter who becomes street smart and a rogue by necessity after her parents die. She's usually not into fighting, choosing to flee instead.

She's 5'4 and has an uncanny ability to see in the dark. Much more than regular humans.

My next character will be a military commander but he'll be a pretty boy dark elf lol
