Tim passed away peacefully after a sudden illness on the 30th at the age of 76.. He was one of the orginal playtesters for DnD, and has had a huge impact on the hobby. One of his characters, the wizard Kwalish lent their name to the eponymous magic apparatus. He has continued to contribute and entertain up to the last day, retelling old stories, discussing worldbuilding, and musing about game design on his youtube channel Curmudgeon in the Cellar

One of my players likes drawing posters of our characters—here’s the latest art from our Curse of Strahd campaign to celebrate the New Year. It’s been going on for three years now, and it’s nearing its end, which will probably be a tragic one.

From left to right: Clio (Circle of the Moon Druid), Ireena(NPC), Edgar (Oathbreaker Paladin), Yorn (Wizard of the School of Illusion), and BoB (Path of the Totem Barbarian).

Meet Hedge!

He works for the Department of Unearthed Salvage & Treasures (D.U.S.T.) at the Luminara Academy - a centre for learning in my Wife's home-brew world of Ophira.

Born into a family of bakers, Hedge’s talents were noticed at an early age, upon which he was sent to the academy for education.

Preferring fieldcraft to academic studies, on graduating, he joined DUST. He became a specialist in the recovery of artefacts on behalf of the Academy's Archives.

On one such dig, he recovered an ancient treatise on the lost art of bladesinging - previously thought to be never consigned to writing. It's the one artefact he hasn't returned (outside of his usual commission).

I hope you enjoy the model!

For me it was a tie between 'You can take both a feat and an ASI, but your ability scores can only increase by a total of +2', which meant feats that gave no ABI got a huge buff, or 'each character can pets whose CR adds up to half the characters level'. This one got fun at level six when the party started flying around on wyrmlings.

Our first campaign will start on Sunday, January 4th. My DM and I have been talking and met a few times to work on my character. I was so excited for it, but then he kicked me out of nowhere and no explanations.

He couldn’t stress enough how important communication was but him, as a DM, failed to do so.

I’m honestly sad because I’ve been excited the whole week.

Edit: thank you to the user who told me to reach out to another player. I asked the only player I was in touch with on Discord, and they said he kicked 2 people out. We were a group of 6 and DM downsized. This person is still in the campaign. Thank you for all the replies and insights.

So I’ve had this character idea for a while, one that started in baldurs gate and just developed from there. It does involve some minor homebrew concepts but nothing particularly mechanic based or anything. Please let me know your thoughts!!

Name: Quetzal Muse

Gender: female (she/her)

Race:Dragonborn

Sub race: (homebrew subspecies called feathered serpent) otherwise bronze Dragonborn

Class: lore bard/fire draconic sorcerer (agile, fire based control mage)

Appearance: an agile, lite framed Dragonborn with jade green scales accented with amber highlights. 5ft,8in. Fiery amber eyes, and a thick mane of feathered hair, its color is vibrant orange and red, reminiscent of the climax of autumn. Possibly antlers engraved with draconic runes that glow with the use of magic, I’m not sure about keeping that part.

Stats:(negotiable for campaign)

Str:8

Dex:16+

Con:14

Int:12

Wis:10

Cha:19++

Background: sage

-feature:researcher

Alignment:neutral good/chaotic good

Personality: (basically Milo thatch from Atlantis) she is a linguist explorer. She is curious, excitable and adventurous, yet naive, with a soft spot for underdogs, and a bit socially awkward, yet that awkwardness holds a simple genuineness behind it which most people find endearingly charming. She care very deeply about stories, and making sure they’re heard, because the story of her people’s and culture are being forgotten, or even snuffed out. She has proven to be very driven by this goal and her affection of stories even at the neglect or detriment of her own, unsure of how to even approach how her own story should be told, believing she’s just a collection of everyone else’s stories.

Goal: (very Aztec/indigenous people themed)she is exploring the lands in search of ruins of her people’s lost civilization, culture, and magic. This civilization is one of draconic bards. A people of inspiration, art and self expression who’s words became magical runes and were integrated not only in every aspect of their lives( cooking, farming, philosophy, art, technology, even magic and combat)but fueled the very identity of this people. With time and conflict, her people and culture became scattered, few and far between, the remnants of this civilization lost even moreso. She seeks to find as much of her people’s culture and magic and runes as she can to preserve and hopefully revive their story.

-(Homebrew: this people had a demigod of sorts, one of the minor heads of Tiamat was severed and escaped the main body before the god itself was sealed away. This demigod had the form of a feathered serpent, and roamed the land contemplating its existence, until it found new followers to worship it. These followers’ worship made it consider its place in the world and thus became a god of inspiration, philosophy self expression and internal freedom.(this demigod basically being Quetzalcoatl)

Notes:

-speaks draconic, dwarvish, elvish, and gnomish.

-plays the fiddle.

-the lore bard part of her character represents her affinity for stories and love of everyone else’s, the draconic sorcerer part represents her development of her own story and identity.

-when not casting spells she uses a light cross bow, a quarter staff (homebrew:ask if the staff can be a finesse weapon to use dexterity) otherwise a rapier or some other finesse weapon.

Art is a commission I got from 독괴기

I would like assumptions on this duo of a PC by my friend + one of my NPC’s that’s currently actively hanging with the party!

Lucien is my Chronurgy Wizard NPC, he’s a scholar and generally a very intelligent individual that used to be a mage of his kingdom’s council. He’s 25 years old but looks much older due to the effects of chronurgy magic on his body and experiments he went through in his past.

Kalika is a Fire Genasi Flame Dancer Bard (homebrew) PC by one of my great friends, she’s more loud and likes to speak her mind. But her backstory is still a huge secret to the rest of the party.

They’re currently roommates at a tavern! Hopefully that’s enough info for assumptions~ They’ve been really fun to watch at play so me and my player are curious for any assumptions based on looks/vibes purely XD

This is driving me insane because all of my friends, my usual confidants, are the people I'd usually talk to about this, but fuck I thought I made it clear that a certain NPC isn't a good guy, or that they'd catch on quick and could investigate him

Instead, they're buddies and every suspicious act is kinda waved off because they like him si much and are just assuming he's chill.

On one hand, oh I could make this devastating, but on the other, it kinda fucks the path I made because I thought this NPC was so CLEARLY a bad egg, but apparently NOT.

Now I have a traitor arc I didn't prepare for and a lot of stuff to rework to make this story make sense down the line, because these goobers won't invade the privacy of their fwend. I usually prepare for a crazy bunch of miscreants, I didn't prepare for them to be so COURTEOUS

EDIT: For context, this is a campaign with greek myth and my players have all been given special favors from the godly pantheon. This NPC has a weapon called the God Killer. This did not dissuade them from trusting this guy. A player found a list with the names of the greek gods, some of which were crossed out. This some-fucking-how did not dissuade them. I don't know how to make it more obvious without just saying it straight up, and I don't want to do that. It'd be out of character for him to attack the party directly at this point.

Abidar is a dwarf woman. She has the easy confidence of someone who’s competent and knows it, tempered by a mischievous sense of humor. The cheeky grin isn’t just for show, it’s how she disarms people before outworking or outthinking them. Practical to her core, she values things that last: good leather, well-forged steel, and friendships proven over time. She laughs loudly, eats heartily, and has little patience for pomposity or empty boasting.

Her abilities reflect a life spent doing rather than posturing. She’s immensely strong for her size, with the endurance to keep going long after taller folk start to tire. Years of hauling supplies, cooking for caravans, and fighting when necessary have made her surprisingly versatile. The oversized cleaver doubles as both tool and weapon, wielded with brutal efficiency when things turn ugly.

Though she isn’t a knight or formal soldier, she’s a reliable frontline brawler, capable of holding ground and protecting others. Beyond combat, she’s an excellent cook and improvised quartermaster, able to keep a group fed, equipped, and in good spirits. Beneath the humor and grit lies a fiercely loyal heart: once someone earns her trust, she’ll stand with them no matter what.
