Just finished this commission of an albino drow assassin with a monstrous twist.

She sports razor sharp shark teeth, a belt and pouches packed with throwing knives, and double-jointed spider like limbs extending from between her fingers, each ending in deadly curved talons. Combined with the massive spider legs on her back, she has an intimidating silhouette that's equal parts elegant and terrifying.

This was a really fun design to bring to life, especially balancing the humanoid and arachnid elements while keeping her agile, dangerous look.

Hope you enjoy the final result! I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Thanks for checking it out! 🕷️🗡️

OK. Irl I've been in landscaping for about 7 years. I am a master with a shovel. I even have my favorite, all steel, 5ft, signature series, $90 shovel. I want to bring that into dnd. I asked multiple DMs before making my character can I just reskin an existing two handed bludgeoning weapon as a shovel that my character is proficient with. All but my wife have said, "No. Shovels are improvised weapons." If my character, like me, is well versed in the use of shovel and has never picked up a sword before; do you really think I would be proficient with said sword and do more damage than I would with my favorite shovel!? No! Why does it seem impossible to get a DM to let me have proficiency in shovel? Literally just reskin an existing weapon and call it flavor! Am I wrong here?

My girlfriend is the DM. She invited a mutual friend of ours to join her DND game she runs. We used to hang out with him and his wife at theirs and play boardgames until life got in the way for us all.

So having missed playing games together, she invited him to join her DND game with 6 players making us 7 now, 8 in total including DM.

We would play at a local gaming club where all we had to do was purchase a drink or something ( no table or booking fees)

Things are great there, lots of table space, loads of terrain free to use. The only issue is occasionally the other tables sometimes being a bit loud with their own game. No big deal. We all get loud and enthusiastic.

This friend suggested we play round his, let's call him Kurt. Kurt said he's got the space for it since he got a new dining table, we wouldn't have to worry about noise so why don't we all go to his for it?

DM and everyone agreed we'll give it a try. Parking isn't ideal, in fact it's very limited space in the area as it's a cul-de-sac. Secondly, we were gaming in the town centre, which is more accessible for some so we all agreed to share rides for those that needed it.

We play a week or two at Kurt's house and it becomes abundantly clear that it's too small. There are 8 of us including the DM crammed around a 6 seater table. With DM screen, character sheets, snacks, drinks, stationary, maps and minis, there just isn't enough room.

We have a couple of large personalities on the table and Kurt joins that to make it a trio. Which is great, but in the confines of that room, it becomes overbearing with the noise.

Except that time his wife (who's in the other room doing her own thing, DND isn't her thing) gets an "important" phone call. So he shushes us, we try to continue playing quietly but he keeps shushing us, so it kills the vibe. So we end up sitting there in silence rather than continue subdued . After about 20 minutes, we discover she's off the phone and we are allowed to continue playing.

Then as the volume ramps up, a few of the less rambunctious players get talked over, even the DM is struggling to be heard from one end of the table to the head where Kurt sits, bellowing his jokes and what he's doing next, without giving anyone else a chance to speak their ideas.

We quickly learn that Kurt has main character syndrome. He wants to check every trap, loot every body, rush through every door etc.

I learned some news that would help the party with the bbg of that session, I try to tell the group 3 times, each time he tells and talks over me. I give up. The session finishes, we go home and I telly.gd how deflated I feel. Turns out, I wasn't the only one. Several other players messaged the DM to say they felt the same way and wanted to go back to the gaming club.

The DM messages Kurt to let him know how people feel and that we'll be returning to the gaming club. She then puts in the group chat that we shall be going back to the gaming club as the room just wasn't big enough with acoustics and table size for us there, thank you Kurt for inviting us into your home, but now we'll be going back to the gaming club.

Kurt then messages everyone in the group individually asking "what's wrong with my house?!" He becomes arsey and the DM said she was handling it as they came to her, as the DM. He gets in a tizz that it's his house, they should've gone to him, that it's not fair!

DM said we'd continue at the club as before, the next time we meet up, we get a message in the group chat saying he's dropping out, that he just doesn't have the time for it anymore.

Did the group do right by addressing issues with the DM not the host?

Did the host overreact messaging everyone directly and in the group?

Did he overreact by leaving the game?

TLDR: guy quit our game and friendship because his place was too small to host the game.

So I know the other day I said I would show the full outfit as i realized we are only allowed a picture per post. While posting i kept thinking “ah this is only a close shot i don’t think this will move people” and it turns out my doubts were wrong! It did way *way* better than i expected. It was a beautiful turn of events especially since it’s the official breakaway cosplay from returning from my hiatus. It was fun putting everything together.

Originally I planned on wearing the default vest and pants but decided to go for a tunic and cape instead. The top followed her og character top design and let me tell you having my cleavage out like that was a trip lmao. i did feel a bit self conscious but as a creative you are to step out of your comfort zone. The full cosplay has been posted if you like to see more angles.

The hair piece consisted of a layered black bob wig and a long hair extension clipped to the back that i braided into bubbles. There were one-piece wigs with the regular braid but i preferred this style. The crown was store bought and i had used it for a previous project. Her og eclipse one wasn’t going to arrive on time so i improvised and it did the trick. My cousin helped with the props and i perfected my in-character aura with this LARPing I did throughout the day. It felt nice walking around in my own little world while people stared and took pictures and asked me who i was RPing as.

This photo was taken after coming back from the convention and i was quite tired but i really liked how the sun was shining that early evening and decided to take some more shots. The ear i worked so hard on was lowkey slipping and i didn’t realize until after these pics were taken lmao.

My only annoyance was my friends kept pulling my elf ears and wow did it hurt because i stupidly attached them directly to my ears with spirit glue. Nonetheless I wanted to thank the dnd fans for all the support for my first post here, it meant the world receiving appreciation for my work and seeing people be normal about a woman of color cosplaying.

Hi, fellow adventurers!

I made this figure as a personal challenge, designed, sculpted, and painted all by me :) It took a few hours spread out, but I wrapped it up in about a day of actual work. I sculpted her in Nomad Sculpt and printed her on my Bambu A1 Mini. The painting was done in one afternoon.

Meet Lady Araniel, a vampire mastermind who commands both the shadows and the skies. I've been working on her lore and stat block to make her a memorable villain for my campaign (I'm a noob DM ☺️). She's cold, calculating, and absolutely ruthless, but she respects strength and might even spare a worthy warrior to serve in her growing army.

Lady Araniel is a master tactician. She uses Commanding Shout to coordinate her bats and other undead minions, making every encounter feel like a coordinated assault. She rarely engages in melee without using Cloak of Shadows first, why risk a fair fight when you can strike from the dark? Her Domination ability is best used on the party's spellcaster or tank, turning their strength against them and completely shifting the tide of battle.

She is cold, calculating, and deeply arrogant. She views mortals as little more than cattle, but she has a twisted sense of respect for skilled warriors, she might even offer them a place in her undead army instead of killing them outright. She speaks slowly, with a sharp, condescending tone that makes every word feel like a dagger.

I'm really proud of how she turned out, and I can't wait to see my players panic when she shows up on the battlefield 😈

If you've got any suggestions for fun encounters or ideas to make her even more terrifying, I'm all ears!

im new in dnd, and my dm is rolling blind dices to atack, and i cannot know when use shield ou other reactions will save me ass, he only teĺls that it is a hit.

it fells worng, but in new

I absolutely adore creating magitech vehicles like this one, though I often worry that I'm creating them for an audience of one lol.

Is this style of game something that more people are playing, or did the few who actually do just happen to find me? I haven't played in a TTRPG since back in the 4E days (you can see how universal my tastes are, can't you) and magitech wasn't really on my radar back then. Unless you count Eberron....I suppose Warforged fit the bill fairly well, as do the Lighting Rails.

I don't know haha, I'm just curious how everyone feels <3
