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...

Here's a commissioned piece i made for a client and wanted to share him here! He’s an old adventurer who has seen far too many roads, wars, and mistakes, but somehow keeps going.

Despite his old age, he has an intimidating look worn down by time and sharpened by experience his skin is faded and weathered, his large horns are chipped and scratched from decades of travel but his eyes still glow with gold.

Hi!

I’m a Korean mom & wife. who got introduced to D&D thanks to my husband (he writes the Critical Failures novels). What started as “What is this dice game?” turned into me slowly learning about RPG culture. 😆

I’m here to learn more about D&D, the community, and the chaos that comes with it. If by any chance you’ve read his books, I’d love to say hi! If not, I’m still happy to just hang out and learn from everyone here.

As a hobby, I also draw cute D&D-inspired characters on my iPad. If there’s interest, I’d love to share some of my artwork sometime in the future. 😊

This is Mildred, my Order of Scribes wizard!

When she’s not taking care of her 12 younger siblings and helping her parents out with the family business; a combination of a magic bookstore, a potion cafe and a cat cafe, Mildred practices spells and writes romance novels. They’re certainly… an acquired taste, to say the least (a bit too flowery for most people). Mildred’s busy home life would be exhausting for most, but she loves it more than anything.

I've been DMing six years now, and last week I learned something new about how to make a story connect with players that I thought might help others despite how obvious it sounds.

The campaign I'm running is in a setting where the industrial revolution is getting underway and there is a lot of friction between the lower and upper classes. More than half of the characters in the party grew up dirt poor, and I've been mentioning the strife of the working class a lot so far: strikes, protests, even inviting the party to a union meeting where the leader spoke to them about their struggles and asked them to help (albeit in a pretty radical way). Basically I've been trying to get the players to question the status quo a lot, with tons of examples.

They've taken notice, but the response has been pretty neutral so far. "Yeah it's not ideal but we can't change the world" sort of thing.

Until I literally had a rich, corrupt man reach into my player's wallet and steal all his money. (The player cheated at a horse race, the rich man runs the races so he took the winnings back.) Now all of a sudden that character is questioning the motives of every rich person they've met, he wants to do a new French Revolution and purge the elites from the city.

So my lesson from all that is that if you want your players to care about a problem, find a way to make them suffer directly because of it. It feels super obvious now of course, but man I really thought I was doing a good job building up sympathy for the problem lol

Hey, some time ago I decided I should try to not only carve Minifigures but also try carving a monster for my players to fight. Sadly I can only share one picture here but you can check out more content on my social media if you want. This mini started at the pool while being on vacation with my friends and then I finished it at home. This monster is not really modeled after any original DND monster but still like this scaly boy. How would you call it? 👀

Made some dice boxes for my players to celebrate the end of our 5 year long campaign that we're ending this month. I asked them each for their own art and had them lasered onto some cherry boxes I made, putting their final level 20 characters that we've taken from level 5. Leather interiors and a map of our campaign map on the back of each of their boxes with a small mark from where their character grew up. Great project and great campaign

Remembering one of the few times I got my DM to actually leave the table to take a momentary breather. This was a couple years ago now, and we were playing the 2014 5th Edition ruleset.

Our party of four plus a DMPC were in between major story beats and received news of a possible vampire problem in a small mountain town. Going to investigate, we had dinner with the mayor, who had sent word out, and fought some oddly "rabid" vampire spawn. Soon enough, we discover that the mayor himself is the vampire lord and we decide to root out the source of this problem. A back and forth battle starts where he ambushes us in his basement, and we eventually force him into the second floor which is shrouded in a magical darkness.

After nearly killing my character's partner, I pulled a scroll of forcecage that she had been holding onto for many irl months and trapped him in a clear force cube. With him trapped, I cast daylight as I approached, allowing him no escape. My DM stood and then simply crouched in his living room, staring at the wall as all of us howled with laughter. "You... you microwaved my vampire," he kept muttering to himself. He eventually returned and described how the vampire went through all the stages of grief, especially bargaining, before being left as nothing more than a pile of bones in the forcecage.

Of course, it wasn't until about a week later that we realized that daylight doesn't actually count as sunlight, but we kept with it for that moment. Still one of my group's favorite moments to recall.

Here is a series of commissioned works I’ve created. These characters come from a variety of different projects—some are standalone character designs, while others are part of a full party. They span different races and classes, but each one was crafted with the same level of care and dedication.

I’m planning to compile them all on my page one day, so feel free to check out my profile if you’d like to see more of my work. I’m excited to share even more of my artwork in the future 💫

Important: I understand that genocide is a real world issue that is currently happening to multiple groups. But I don't understand how having genocide as part of a setting's history is controversial.

For those who don't know about Dark Sun, in the fictional history for the game the following races were killed off:

• Kobolds
• Ogres
• Trolls
• Orcs
• Gnomes
• Wemic
• Pixies
• Goblins

Behind the Scenes: The out of universe reason for this is that Dark Sun's devs wanted to remove more traditional fantasy races and lean more into non-traditional ones like Thri-Kreen.

In Universe Lore: In universe this was done by the Sorcerer-Kings/Queens who are villains of the setting. Several of them failed to complete their genocides, but stopped doing them when they realized that they were being tricked by their master Rajaat, who was planning to genocide Humans after all the other races were gone to give the world to Halflings.

So in Dark Sun the genocides happened long ago, based on my looking at the "Cleansing War" timeline it ended at 164th King's Age (~2000 years prior to the "Fall of Kalak" which leads to Free year 1).

TLDR: Genocide is not an active part of the setting, the people who committed the genocides are villains, and behind the scenes it is an excuse as to why stereotypical fantasy races aren't present in the setting.
