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.

Shiro, the Terrible Mage, or more widely known to the general public as Shiro the Kind, is the court mage for my evil faction, the Asta Nation. He is a diviner wizard who hunts specific warlocks who are enemies of the Asta Nation and steals their eyes to add to his body.

He is titled the Terrible Mage because he both sucks at magic and is genuinely evil. He is comparable to a third-level wizard if not for his insights into the laws of equivalent exchange, allowing him to sacrifice things and people to temporarily empower his magic abilities. That's a reason he is an active partner of the cult led by the Asta Nation. He uses the zealots as fuel for his magic, along with using tactics like drawing the fireball spell on children and using them as bait. That was actually how the party met him the first time; they tried sneaking into one of his towers and were quickly met with an orphanage fireball.

He is insane, and has one of my favourite tactics I've ever done. with a homebrew spell as a reaction when attacked before the attack is even rolled he makes another party member make a Charisma save against his own, if they fail he switches places with them then uses his diviner ability to cause the attack to be a critical hit, making one party member almost kill his girlfriend lol.

This is my character Morwen! She is a Hexblade/Paladin Reborn human.

Our party got into some trouble with the law and in exchange for aid in their escape, they promised a performance as entertainment to an influential person. The performance was to take place during a festival and we had some down time to prepare.

I had so much fun thinking of different get ups to hide her identity and this is what I ultimately landed on. As you can tell, its heavily inspired by the iron maiden torture device.

Anyway, would love to hear the ridiculous ways your characters have tried hiding their identity.

Feeling really bummed out about the session I ran tonight :/

Been DMing for a little, but for my husband and his two siblings. I finally got my mom, sister, and their partners on board for a one shot. They’ve never played before so I helped them create their characters, their backgrounds, backstories, the whole 9 yards. Of course it’s a lot of work but I had fun doing it and was really amped to run the game

So tonight was the night, I ran A Most Potent Brew. We had some in game quirks like them going to an armory and weaponry, kind of being really leery about the mission and dragging their feet a little here and there but I know it was their first time and I didn’t want to railroad them at all so we worked through everything they wanted to do

Finally, we get to the nitty gritty and get the mission going. Then, all of a sudden, they literally just kept getting up for unannounced breaks, my mom was on her phone a lot, I had to repeat myself multiple times because someone was wondering off or didn’t hear because they were having side convos or just completely not paying attention

I just feel so bummed out, I was getting very frustrated and trying to keep everyone on the same page but we only got halfway through the dungeon. I will of course finish, but I just don’t think I see anymore games in our foreseeable future which really sucks bc I love DMing and only get to do it here and there since my husbands sister got married and moved states :(

Don’t get me wrong, there were plenty of cool moments in the game, just feeling upset and a little disrespected

Hey everyone ! My friend group and I have recently got into playing DnD , originally I was the DM for 2 different stories but this time one of the players wanted to try making a story, I’m super exited to have created this guy. His name is Croakus, the Marsh Executioner he is a Grung ranger bounty hunter that uses a sentient dragon revolver called Vaelgrith, the Scaled Verdict, he shoots stones instead of shooting bullets. I hope yall like him!

Meet Serelai! Her journey started in a small town where she grew up the only teifling. Raised by a kind old gnome woman who oversees the Lord and Lady of Blackthorn's gardens, Serelai ended up close to nature with quite the understanding of the animals...

​

Her world changed when a noble from the house of the Duke overseeing these lands came to aid in a "undead" problem... of course, being the nosey and adventure seeking kind she was, she got herself involved. Only... that was exactly what the Necromancer was after- her mysterious bloodline drawing the attention of people she had never even met before.

​

​

I made a custom portal which was designed to fit an old phone to become it's screen which displays anything I want. Some time ago I posted here on Reddit a tree, which I made myself too. Now more rocks and bushes have been added to it. I also painted the miniatures. It would also be nice to get a 3D printer to print some more. There is never too much stuff and minituares for a d&d session😁

My cosplay of my D&D ocs that I made

​

1.Imogen Kirrin. She is a sun elf barbarian (wild magic barbarian).

​

As a retired adventurer, currently she is a tavern owner and it's keeper, not an adventurer anymore.

She got a ton of gold from an adventure campaign, enough money to started her own business.

​

2.Ragnar the wild heart barbarian.

​

She was born in a guard family. Her parents are caravan guards.

​

Ragnar started to travel with her parents and their caravan when she is 15 years old and started to work as a caravan guard just like her parents when she is 18.

​

Now she is 28 traveling with caravans and her co-workers friends. (Her parents are still alive. They are just retired from their job.)

​

3.Alisara Kwanjai the evocation wizard.

​

She is my first D&D wizard character. I created her because I want to try to play a caster class.

She is a student in a wizard university in Waterdeep. And she is a hothead person.

​

4.Henna Jovie the half orc fighter.

I created her for a while but still don't have much idea about her yet.

​

In my first ever D&D campaign, our party avoided a fight by managing to release a rampaging owlbear into a room full of enemy combatants. It was sheer chaos and should never have worked, but the dice were on our side and we pulled it off.

Real-life circumstances eventually split our party, but most of us are still good friends. I’m mailing this little guy to our former DM as a reminder that even the most chaotic of circumstances have a way of working themselves out in the end :)

—————————

The pattern is from the offfical D&D crochet book that released in March. Has anyone else tried any other patterns from it yet? This is the only one I’ve done so far and I didn’t love the setup, so if anyone has tried any of the other ones I’m curious as to how you felt about it.

The dm of this current side campaign is gonna let me learn 1st, 2nd, and if we level up before the main campaign starts again 3rd level spells from old editions. ill take 1d6 psychic damage per spell level from casting older edition spells.

this is just for the funnies, this short side campaign is for fun while the main one is on pause, so if its broken it doesn't matter.

plus, in order to learn them i have to search the underdark and find a mad mage

This is my OC Thaerion, he comes from a long line of conquerors and is currently first in line for the throne.

He's a Dark magic user and a highly proficient Swordsman often stated to be one of if not the best in the kingdom. He's not sentimental and dislikes sweet stuff except for some honey in his morning tea.

He doesn't like to hunt and thinks it is a sport for men who cannot face skilled warriors in battle.

He came to be known as a war criminal after using blood magic to resurrect slain soldiers on the battlefield while laying siege to a fort.

Although he isn't above using dark magic he typically won't cheat or use underhanded methods to win a battle and has some level of concern towards his soldiers as he wouldn't put them in unnecessary danger unless he can get something out of it. He also considers his own life of more importance to his soldiers so he would sacrifice them to save himself.
