* New to Reddit? Check the Reddit 101 guide.

​

* If your account is less than 5 hours old, the /r/DnD spam dragon will eat your comment.

​

* If you are new to the subreddit, **please check the Subreddit Wiki**, especially the Resource Guides section, the FAQ, and the Glossary of Terms. Many newcomers to the game and to r/DnD can find answers there. Note that these links may not work on mobile apps, so you may need to briefly browse the subreddit directly through Reddit.com.

​

* **Specify an edition for ALL questions**. Editions must be specified in square brackets ([5e], [Any], [meta], etc.). If you don't know what edition you are playing, use [?] and people will do their best to help out. AutoModerator will automatically remind you if you forget.

​

* **If you have multiple questions unrelated to each other, post multiple comments** so that the discussions are easier to follow, and so that you will get better answers.

Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

Sculpted in Blender, printed in resin, and painted by me. I used chrome nail powders for the foil. This was a mimic chosen by my Patreon members, just in time for Easter!

I'm making my new character, a Tiefling Warlock, and my friend who has much more experience at DnD tells me "Funny, literally every queer friend I ever knew to play DnD either has played a tiefling at some point or is planning to" and like to prove him right, my friend who's the other queer person at the table is making a tiefling backup and literally no one else is playing or planning a tiefling.

Do you think it's all a coincidence or there's truth to that and queer people are more attracted to tieflings ? And if so, why do you think that is ?

I have a female plasmoid that I need a witty name for. A few months ago someone recommended Mike O'Chondria for my male plasmoid and I'm using that, but now I need a feminine one name that's related to the "pun" of a cell or anything like that.

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share a recent commission I had the pleasure of working on ✨ This piece features Thistle, a Tiefling Druid, brought to life for a client. I had so much fun interpreting her design, personality, and unique traits, focusing on warm tones, layered textures, and a nature-inspired feel. I really enjoyed bringing her to life, and I hope you enjoy how she turned out 🍂

Hi Everyone! Newer DM here, recently started a Homebrew campaign with 5 PC's. In our session zero, I asked my players what they were most looking forward to, and what they want from the world. A lot of folks said they really value feeling like the world is alive around them.

I tried to think of some ways that I can make them feel like world exists, even when they aren't actively in session, and I came up with something I call "The Honor Roll". How it works is that I send a message sometime in the week between our sessions, which calls for a skill check of some kind. Everyone sends in whatever they rolled before the next session, and those rolls effect something for next session.

The first 3 submissions get a +3, +2, +1 modifier respectively, and you get a +1 modifier for sending a video of your roll. Everyone seems to really enjoy it, it leads to people keeping a d20 on them "just in case"!

Our last one: The session ended with them taking refuge in the backroom of a local NPC's Oddities and Trinkets shop. She's been a great help to them, and has some secrets of her own. The Honor Roll was this:

"As you guys sleep in the backroom, Milta walks in, wanting to see if anyone is awake - Roll a constitution check! Highest roll will be the only one still awake…"

The highest roll was taken aside by the NPC, got a small bit of cool lore from her, and gifted them a single-use magic item. The rewards are always small enough that it doesn't make a massive impact on the campaign, but enough that people are always excited about it, and always fits into the story. It's also a great jumping off point to begin next session.

This could totally already be a thing, but I haven't seen anyone else do it, so I thought I would share in case it sounds fun or useful to anyone else!

The concept for Ontranto Emporius was created by Jonathan Hansen and illustrated by Sam Schechter for the Big Bads project.

Ontranto Emporius is the self-styled lord of wit and wagers and the owner of the House of Cards gambling den. With his good looks and honeyed words, Ontranto strings his guests along, carefully arranging wins and losses. Once gamblers are driven to desperation by their mounting debts, he offers them the ultimate bet—Ontranto will cancel all of their losses if they agree to wager their soul. Ontranto prefers games of chance to combat, but he won't hesitate to unleash his fiendish power upon any who try to swindle his house.

"A creature from Elysium and a Patron.

A Celestial Warlock in need of acquiring the Holy power that he would've had as a Paladin, he bound himself to her as a pact. And since then, he found a way to make her materialize into his world, and although she prefers to present herself as a pixie, she can also transform into a celestial imp, a quasit, and a pseudodragon"

I made this design some years ago, but it's still one of my favorites by far, she encapsulates everything I love drawing: cute fantasy creatures, medieval armor,weapons and magic. I also had the luck of drawing her "other" versions, but I can only post one image, so I chose this one :>

Hope you like her! If you liked this drawing, consider looking through my other pieces in my socials! or DM me if you'd like a commission or design for yourself :D

The game itself is a homebrewed story/setting, where players are monsters and the villains and BBEGs are the typical "heroes"! The players (a team consisting of a fairy, a kobold, a pegasus, and a tiger) must defend their magical wilderness from encroaching human kingdoms. Each main boss will be a dnd class, as well as my attempt to embody a typical archetype of that class. The Saint is the cleric. Her design was based on old renaissance era angel paintings, as well as Joan of Arc.

Hey all! Dean from Roll20 here. With all the Ravenloft excitement in the air, we decided to remaster Curse of Strahd with a ton of new Roll20 features and improvements. This update is free if you already own it with us!

The big one for me is Map Pins. The castle has sooooo many rooms, and hunting through adventure text for descriptions is as big a nightmare as Strahd himself. Now you click the marker and the room description is right there. We also added automated traps, foreground layer elements, the new D&D Fifth Edition sheet, and the ability to read the complete book in our Digital Reader. I cover all the changes in my blog post.

A lot of what we've done here is being applied directly to the new Ravenloft book launching this summer, so consider this a sneak peek of how we're approaching D&D content. If there's ways of approaching these products that you'd like to see done differently, please let me know!

And finally, here's a video of my top 10 favorite Curse of Strahd features.. some new, some you might have missed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9ZG7s7nVWI

Me and my friends have started a group, and it will be all of outlets first time playing, except for one of us, and multiple people are just using ai to make characters, and I don’t know how I can convince them to make their own characters.
