You pry open the heavy earthen door that has been keeping you from the tomb's inner-most sanctum. You are buffeted by a thick cloud of dust that is almost as bad as the stench of fresh corpses that rushes out to greet you. Wait, why would the corpses be fresh? Supposedly none have entered the tomb of the praetors in generations. A shadow moves, defend yourself!

Greetings adventurers! We are excited to announce that the /r/DnD mod team is looking to expand. Moderating a community as robust and complex as ours takes a lot of work, and requires a diversity of thought in its management. Do you think you're up to the task?

We are looking to fill several key gaps in our mod team. We are interested in users who can help with the regex that governs automod, users who can moderate outside of US time zones, users with experience identifying AI content, and users who can advocate for communities that are under-represented on /r/DnD. That being said, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES are encouraged to apply! We need mods who are willing to just do the monotonous busy work of moderating, which is most of the work.

Do you think you would be a good fit for our mod team? Apply today! If you have any questions please let us know in the comments.

2026 /r/DnD Mod Recruitment Form

The application will stay open for at least 1 week, though we may keep it open longer. After applications close we will work to review and reach out to those selected within a week, and then make a public announcement after onboarding.

With the final nothic slain, you are finally able to take in your surroundings. Piles of bodies, some of whom you recognize as the missing clergy, are in various states of decay. You doubt the bishop of Tyr is going to be willing to hand over that bonus now...

Notes: Von Bernstein means “of Ambar"

Fye is my PC of Curse of Strahd. Former Paladin of Lathander, now a Spellfire sorcerer (I kept 1 lvl of Paladin due to her lore of knight and oath)

A 25 year old girl from Cormyr, she was raised under strict rules and discipline. These are some behaviors I wrote about her:

- Rarely speaks first, and if she speaks, it is often after a long pause. (Speaks last during party decisions). Watch first, act second.

- Changes the subject when asked about her past and hides the marks and scars of her body.

- Will likely respond to a question with another question. Lies by omission.

- Refuses alcohol or substances that dull her edge.

- Can become drawn to those who are emotionally wounded or dangerous. cof cof Strahd

Some quotes:

- “Mercy is a crown of thorns. It cuts the one who wears it. It silences the one who carries it.”

- "I don't believe I deserve the light. But I will carry it anyway.“

- “Mercy isn’t belief. It’s standing beside someone’s ruin and not pretending it isn’t there.”

- "But what is faith, if not a choice? A choice to believe in something you cannot see, in a forgiveness you may never receive."

Her name is Hilda, but she chose HUE.da as her artistic alias. She’s a Bard, but instead of instruments or poetry, she uses Graffiti.

Hilda was raised in a small grove by her master, a craftsman Druid. There, he taught her how to transform nature’s gifts into tools for self-expression, from pigments to her own clothes. Her master is like a father to her and she holds him very dear; however, Hilda needs to head to the big city, where there are plenty of walls to paint and many eyes to enchant with her art!

She gathered her supplies, all the gold she had saved from selling crafts with her master, and set off on a journey to the largest city in the kingdom. But not before saying goodbye. As a parting gift, her master gave her his favorite chisel—a tool for carving wood, but also a reliable blade, and above all, a way to remember home.

Pursuing my interest in tackling ancient mythos creatures, I wanted to dedicate a pack to the infamous Sons of Loki, As described in the myths Loki's monstrous children were banished by the gods because they were prophesized to bring immense chaos and destruction, culminating in Ragnarök.

Jörmungandr - Thor's bane

Born of Loki and the giantess Angrboða, the Midgard Serpent grew so immense that he encircled the entire world, biting his own tail to hold the oceans in place. Prophecy declares that during Ragnarök, he will rise from the depths to slay Thor, ultimately falling in battle but releasing a venom so potent it claims the god's life just nine steps later

Fenrir - The Black Wolf

Destined to bring the gods to their knees, Fenrir is the final shadow the All-Father will ever see. According to Myths The Black Wolf is the hunger that turns the stars to ash and breaks the unbreakable chains of fate.

Sleipnir - The Gray Steed

Sleipnir the Eight legged horse. Born from a clever trick and a chaotic lineage, Later tamed by the All-Father this steed runs with eight legs thundering in perfect rhythm. Capable of outrunning the wind itself, this unmatched steed gallops across the boundary between the living and the dead.

I think D&D has done Slings a bit dirty when it comes to damage. A measly d4 doesn't really match up to what these weapons were capable of in recorded history.

A few accounts come to mind: "Soldiers, notwithstanding their defensive armour, are often more annoyed by the round stones from the sling than by all the arrows of the enemy" -Vegetius, De Re Militari.

The poet Lucretius also wrote in "On the Nature of Things", "Just as thou seest how motion will o'erheat / And set ablaze all objects, - verily / A leaden ball, hurtling through length of space, / Even melts." that apparently lead sling bullets could pierce or even melt through armor (likely an exageration of course but still)

Then, in the "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" it was said by one of the conquistadors, "an Incan sling "could break a sword in two pieces, and "kill a horse".

Like bows have a short/long bow variant, I think WOTC should've given us the typical d4 sling and then a d6/d8 war sling

Was trying to figure out if there was a minimum intelligence to have the ability to read in 5e and realized there wasn’t necessarily a satisfying way to figure this out, as several creatures can understand various languages but not speak, seemingly down to INT2, which also RAW includes the ability to read (if anyone has a INT 1 example of a creature that can understand language but not speak please let me know)

HOWEVER, I did discover in the process that no creature with a INT of 3 or lower has the ability to speak, as the lowest INT creatures that can definitively speak are a tie between the Monodrone, Young Kruthik, and Choker at INT 4 (with an honorable mention going to the Cranium Rat at INT 4, but who can only “speak” telepathically when in a swarm)

This information isn’t really useful as anything other than a novelty, but I figured I’d put it out in the world so the next person who’s curious about this has a better chance of googling it successfully

No spoil under this post !

I finished this collab with my friend u/nunomayo, she did the lineart inspired by Mucha's artworks.
I was in charge of the colors hehe. I really wanted to create this cold atmosphere with the red backlight from the ground, suggesting the blo0d of his victims. But he remains calm and dominating.
At first I wasn't sure of the palette and it was pretty hard to define the light but I'm kind of proud of it. Hehe.

Hope you will like it ! And please a reminder : no spoil under this post !

Bellamy is a member of a long line of ancestral clerics, his heritage split between longtime followers of the goddess of Mischief Beshaba and the Raven Queen. Bellamy’s mother worshipped the Raven Queen. His particular set of gifts, however, stem from his father, an enchanter known amongst his peers as the Dark Pupeteer.

This particular piece took a VERY long time to complete. I kept stopping and coming back to it, never quite satisfied and I FINALLY finished today 😭😭 I love his concept, and his design always captivated me, but I genuinely hate illustrating so much, it takes entirely too much brain power 💔

I hope you like him though :)

Hey guys, this here is my first large continental map. I have made region maps previously, and those turned out well for my purposes. When I set out to make this one, I intended to have names for all the different places and points of interest that I could refer to in-game. So to give the world a more dynamic and seamless feel, rather than have it appear procedurally generated, despite that being the majority of the process.

I used Inkarnate. I also found many world maps be somewhat one-dimensional in their terrain and region variety. So, despite it being perhaps more unrealistic, I chose to make most of the regions' biomes be distinct.

I would appreciate any feedback.

P.S.

I got some questions as to why winter was not in the entirety of the northern par of the continet. It has to do with the nature of my world. My world has lost it's sun 8 centuries ago, and there is perpetual darkness, so it should actually be nighttime in the map, but I like the colors, and it's easier to read the map. Therefore, the biomes are not naturally made or maintained. How it works would go deeper into the way the world works.
