This was my fit for the court case one shot in which I was playing the DM and the "Lawyer Lord," who was a Horned Devil (and the prosecution's Lawyer) (Hence, why I am wearing some Spirit Halloween horns we had).

I asked 10 people to come be Jury members and 8 of them actually showed up. So these were mostly people who had no context for what was going on in our campaign. I made an activity packet to summarize the events and made a Court Case Bingo based on predictions I had on what my players would do, so they would have something to engage them other than our poorly designed legal one shot.

One PC was the defendant. Two PCs were witnesses. One PC was their lawyer. And my last PC was the Judge.

For the players I designed a minigame around correctly identifying objectionable statements. I limited the types down to 5 as to not become too unmanageable.

Objection: Relevance

Objection: Hearsay!

Objection: Speculative

Objection: Argumentative

Objection: Leading the Witness

Overall, I learned that I used way more objectionable statements than I thought. Luckily the court was rigged (Devil shenanigans).

In the end, the Jury delivered 7 guilty and 1 not guilty (We did this survivor style because it was more fun that way) (Yes, it probably compromised their decision).

I may include more details about how we designed this and the proceedings if anyone is interested!

Running a campaign with a few close friends of mine. We've got a group text going for memes, jokes, scheduling, and the like. My girlfriend, the party's Bard, let slip that they had begun a second group text without me after a particularly devious encounter I threw their way. Apparently they're trying to brainstorm and strategize.

Honestly, it feels like I've earned my DM wings at last.

From the moment I learned about mimics, they've probably been one of my favourite creatures. I finally decided to merge a mimic with the thing I love to carve the most - pumpkins!

Walking around pumpkin patches has never been more terrifying!

Only hand tools like knives and gouges were used for carving this monster. (For anyone wondering, yes the teeth are carved separate) I will deffinitely try my hand on a classic chest mimic with a big tongue pretty soon, but first I must muster the courage for such a hard task.

Hope you like it everyone!

To get the point, when my group completed our first campaign and started our second, we instituted "No PC death (mostly)" house rule and it has been absolutely amazing! Maybe it will be for you as well.

Basically the house rule is:

In general, 3 failed death saves = you have a serious wound that is beyond normal healing magic. You are totally knocked out, can't be brought up except for revivify or other (formerly) raise dead spell or else a full long rest worth of intensive care. You will have a lingering injury debuff related to what knocked you down, it might be permanent or might be able to be mitigated via future sidequests.

Death can still happen though: at any point, a character may initiate a "heroic sacrifice", a more narrative segment where they will die to have some incredibly impactful action. E.g. BBEG getting away with a macguffin? Hero charges them, dying but letting the party get it back. Also, certain big boss fights will be very clearly labeled as "lethal", and death rules occur as normal.

Why I have been loving it:

It's no secret that 5e is pretty low lethality. And that's not a bad thing - I as the DM also didn't want my PCs to die, especially in random low-plot fights. But because the risk was theoretically there, especially at lower levels, I personally felt nervous throwing difficult fights at my PCs. Now I can consistently throw challenges that demand that they think strategically or suffer the lingering injuries.

On the flip side, in 5e at high levels the general ease of resurrection can remove the gravitas of death and sacrificial moments. Now death is still impactful - actual resurrection is only available through very powerful magic like Wish.

It's also had the bonus effect that players have gotten to play "guest characters" while their main PC is knocked out, which has been super fun!

We basically fully committed to 5e's low lethality rather than trying to have it both ways, and it feels like a bunch of things sort of fell into place for us as a result.

I know it's not for everybody, but what do you think? Would you try this in a campaign?

Hello everyone! I’m truly excited to share this commission I had the pleasure of working on. Meet Khepra, an Anubis-inspired warrior who walks the fine line between steel and arcane power. Trained from a young age within the ancient desert temples, he blends the lethal precision of his curved blade with ethereal magic that burns vividly in his grasp.

More than just a fighter, Khepra is a guardian of forgotten rites and ancestral secrets, balancing physical strength, spiritual discipline, and mystical mastery. Every step in combat is deliberate, every movement shaped by centuries of tradition and honor. It was an absolute pleasure bringing such a striking and enigmatic character to life, and I hope you enjoy the final result as much as I enjoyed creating it.
