Althaia was born as the property of a powerful Drow House on Apostae. Unlike most tieflings, she possessed large, functional wings of black and crimson feathers, making her an exotic curiosity within the court. After helping her only childhood friend escape, her wings were torn from her body, and she was cast into the gladiatorial arenas, where she fought to survive until she finally earned her freedom.
She went on to become a legendary bounty hunter and founded the Gorgon to protect the oppressed. Years later, she discovered she was a direct descendant of Nocticula. Captured and tortured in Hell, she spent years recovering from her ordeal. A devoted follower of Sarenrae, she was granted a divine blessing that transformed her wings into magnificent peregrine falcon wings, though she always believed herself to be beyond redemption.

Picture from our session.
Been playing a long time and been trying to work some iconic creatures in more for my players after 8 years. I was excited to have them fight a Purple Work for the first time after 8 years. Normally I love when my players come up with clever solutions but this felt… cheap.

This is a mod from Phandelver and Below. The players were on an island in “The Endless Void”. There was trapped bridge that got sprung on the players and two of them were affected. The barbarian and the Sorcerer (lvl 9) were blinded and overwhelmed with hopelessness (can’t attack or target any creature with harmful abilities, spells or other magical effects).

Looks like big trouble for the other two players. However…

On his turn, the blinded and hopeless Sorcerer says, “I cast Wall of Force” (springs into existence at a point you choose within range). He wants to encase the Purple Worm. His arguments:
1. The spell does not require line of sight as written. “Springs into existence at a point you choose” so blindness isn’t a factor.
2. There is no attack role and he is not “harming the creature” just containing it.
3. He is not casting the spell on the creature but on the ground, so he is not targeting the creature with a spell.
4. I argued the creature is bigger than the “base of 20 feet” it occupies on the board but I felt that was a little cheesy of me.

In the end I said I would give him a 25% chance of casting in the right spot and trapping the creature as it was coiled down to a smaller size. Naturally he succeeded.

After that they polymorphed it into a turtle and threw it into space where it would float for 30 miles before turning back into Purple Worm form. I allowed it but I was disappointed.

How would you have played it?

Hello! I drew our DnD gang catching some ZZZ's. If you're reading this, may your short or long rests always be comforting and energizing!

This was inspired by an older drawing I posted on here 6 years ago! Old post here, for the curious wanderers: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/k31c21/artoc_short_rest/?sort=top

After 2 and a half years of playing weekly (something like 30 weeks were skipped over due to scheduling), my party has finally finished Curse of Strahd and (mostly) lived to tell the tale. I opted for CoS Reloaded and mostly liked it, though its additions alongside with my group being extremely roleplay heavy, did make the campaign take waaay longer than I originally anticipated lmao.

I was the DM and ran it as sort of a hodgepodge of the base book, CoS Reloaded, and my own homebrew spilling into it. Over the course of the game we had 3 consistent players from beginning to end, with 3 more players that dropped in and out throughout. 12 total characters were played, 5 of those dying (Rest in peace Lachlan, Adonis, Glanu, Bayezid, and Ralph). The original party started in my homebrew setting where they were invited to a dinner party used by the Vistani to funnel people into Barovia.

Bayezid and Glanu died in Heinrik's coffin shop due to Volenta's ambush with the vampire spawn and were later raised as vampire spawn themselves as the retreating party couldn't get to their bodies (later put to a final rest by the party), Adonis was killed after the party lost a fight to the Hags at the Old Bonegrinder and refused to accept the soul leech being placed in his noggin (player had to leave the campaign and used it as a good out), Lachlan was killed due to a Revenant chasing after him and the party triggering a second random encounter on the Svalich which ended in 4 Berserkers joining in on attacking the party, and Ralph died to Rahadin in Castle Ravenloft while the party escaped through the brazier to Mount Ghakis. No TPKs happened, but they sure came close quite a few times.

As for the final party composition, from left to right:

Nochrin is a Shadar-kai Paladin (originally a cleric then swapped) sent by the Raven Queen into Barovia to help deal with Strahd and search for the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind. He joined the party and was seen as a good omen by the Keepers of the Feather who I wrote to have some old ties to the Raven Queen. He was successful and after Strahd's defeat, became one of the Raven Queen's trusted Sorrowsworn (4e winged Shadar-kai that wield scythes, I think 5e changed them).

Ezmerelda in the back who ended up with the Huntress' Spear and was the party's fated ally and close friend (with some attempts from Moshenik to romance her). She was given the Silver Dragon egg from Argynvostholt as the party trusted her most with it, naming the dragon Eva after Madam Eva and raised her as a daughter of sorts. She went with Yevstigney for a time, popping in and out of their lives as she hunted monsters across the various worlds.

Yevstigney a Vistani Swords Bard in the middle with the Sunsword, part of Arrigal and Luvash's caravan originally and a follower of the Morninglord. After Strahd's defeat, he took a contingent of Vistani (including his childhood crush whom he married post campaign) and decided to sail the seas in worlds unknown on a ship having enough of Barovia for a lifetime.

Moshenik a Vistani Warlock and brother to Yevstigney. Jealous of Yev's innate magic, he struck a deal with the Hags to become a Warlock. He eventually broke free from that pact only to make another deal with Seriach and slowly became corrupted by his influence, giving him a similar flaming arm to Izek Strazni. After Strahd's defeat, he was cleansed in the sacred pool in Krezk to finally be free of any Warlockracy (for now). He joined Yev on the ship of Vistani, bringing with him Bianca whom he did form a successful relationship with after Kiril's defeat.

In the very back right, we have Nelson the Wall, a Human Fighter. Nelson started out as an NPC guard from my homebrew world, who by all intents and purposes was supposed to die in the first session to a swarm of vampire spawn, but due to me rolling terribly with a dozen attacks against him, he survived and ended up a close ally of the party's in Barovia and was given the moniker of 'the Wall' for holding back the undead. Nelson was taken into Lady Wachter's service in the Vallaki Guard and joined the PC's when we were missing a player to bolster them a bit. He was killed by Strahd and his head thrown before the party as a show of force, then later revived using a feather from the Abbott, only to die once more in the final confrontation with Strahd only a turn or two before Strahd's demise.

I could type for literal days about the events of the campaign, but I'll leave it there for now. Feel free to ask anything in the comments though, I'll be happy to answer!

Assuming linking the artist's pages is allowed by the mods, this is the artist of the poster! I highly recommend them!

I made this with blood sweat and tears, and I'm still working on it! I'm not the DM for this campaign, just the free artist with too much time on her hands lol. I'm really proud of how it's coming together :))

I'm happy to announce that "Songs from the Land of Kalevala" is out. The official release will be held at a Finnish role playing convention Ropecon 2026 this weekend. You can order yours early from my Backerkit Campaign (still a few hours remaining) or come say hi at Ropecon at desk D109.

The book includes five adventures set in Iron-Age Finland. The players will be able to:
- Defend their village from vikings
- Go on a search for Rohtotohtori, a mysterious herbalist
- Discover a mysterious winter with sinister origins tied to Pukki (Yes, that Pukki)
- Die and go to Tuonela
- Reenact the events of Kalevala and go steal the Sampo from the Pohjola

The book also includes rules for running a campaign in mythological Finland, and even tips for playing legendary heroes like Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen.

I also have designed miniatures such as Kokko, Iku-Turso, Ancient Finnish Ship and Väinämöinen himself. These you can also buy at Ropecon or as addons from my backerkit.

Finally, check out my new website supinaata.com I will use it as the primary tool of communication in the future. I will also post here on reddit on r/LandOfKaleva

Hi, all! My group and I recently finished the longest campaign I’ve ever run, lasting 86 sessions from levels 3 to 16 and spanning 9 real-life years of planning.

It feels surreal that it's actually over, and we're all still riding that post-campaign high. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together and thought it’d be fun to celebrate by... chatting about it with some lovely internet strangers! Hi there 💚

A few of my players are on Reddit too, so they may jump into the comments to answer questions from their perspective as well: Descentintostuff, Diamondskybutterfly and Aoidaffodil.

We had graduations, career changes, people moving, people living abroad, COVID, new jobs, and countless life changes happen while this campaign was running. Somehow, we'd still end up back at the same table to continue the story.

Looking forward to chatting! Ask us whatever you're curious about - we just want to celebrate a hobby we all love.

Some details:

System: D&D 5e.

Module or homebrew: Homebrew.

Number of players: We started with 6 players. 3 saw the story all the way to the finale, and we never recruited replacement players.

Type of game: Roleplay-heavy, narrative game focused on character development as much as the “big” plot.

Players: A Gnome Wizard, a Halfling/Tiefling Monk and an Elf Mystic.

Terrvan Silvermist… coming from the stars and night, she wields the power of Nyx’s sky to slay her foes, carying a sword reflecting a blue nebula… what a character to face! A comisc elf with a deep connection with the moon, she wield her powers from it and from the stars. And in the night of a full moon, she shines more then ever!

A very cool character I had to make with a lot of liberty. Really enjoyed it and big inspiration of the arts of Mythic Odysseys of Theros for the ideas of nebulas and space in this places. I'm far from this professional result but step by step, i can get closer.

Tell me what you think and if feel free to come talk in DM or in Insta (@krabyx).

This is a continuation of my last post where I shared one of the items that I made for a player in game I'm going to run. This is for a friend playing an alchemist, I made a set of alchemical bombs that she can keep all the dice for her damage in.

The last post was for an arcanist and was a book with a magnetic cover that could track spell slots. I have others that I've made but I forgot to get pics of them before I gave them to the players, so I'll have to wait until our first game to be able to post the others.
