I’ve always wanted to play DND, and for the last few months, I finally got the chance to take part as a Ranger (an awful choice initially, but my DM and I managed to fix it later) in an amazing campaign set in Waterdeep.

After my character switched from his beloved bow to a brand new revolver, I thought my dice set needed a thematic upgrade too, so I fired up Fusion360 and designed one from scratch! 🙂

I know the idea is not entirely new, but I can honestly say I’m proud of how this specific design came out. The set includes a D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and a D20. I wanted it to be more than just dice, so I engineered the cylinder to act as a fully functional dice box. The bullets snap perfectly into the chambers, and you can easily pop them out from the bottom holes.

The best part? The thread on the cap has a dual purpose. If you screw it tight, it secures the dice. If you loosen it just a bit, the whole cylinder spins almost freely, mimicking a real revolver. It has accidentally become the perfect fidget toy during slow combat rounds! I printed everything on my BambuLab P2S in silk Silver, Gold and Copper filament and went over the numbers with a white paint pen to make them pop.

Edit: as many have been asking, here’s the MakerWorld link if you want to print them!

They called her a curse. The arena calls her a champion.

Name: Rasha
Race: Tiefling
Class: Fighter
Combat Style: Arena fighter with street-fighting instincts

Rasha was born in the rotting underbelly of a port city, where survival wasn’t a choice, it was a daily sentence. Hunger, violence, and abandonment shaped her from the start. And as a tiefling, the world made sure to sharpen every hardship.

She never had a real family. Just other forgotten souls, children who learned early that trust is expensive and survival is earned with blood. Territory fights weren’t just clashes… they were training grounds. Every hit taken was a lesson. Every victory, another scar carved into who she was becoming.

Until one night, soaked in blood and fury, Rasha stopped being just another survivor. She won. And someone important noticed.

An underground arena organizer saw something rare in her, not just raw strength, but presence. Violence with purpose. He offered her a way out… or maybe just a different kind of cage, one filled with cheers instead of silence.

Now Rasha fights beneath roaring crowds, where the ground is stained and every mistake has a price. Her style is fast, brutal, and unpredictable, a fusion of savage instinct and honed precision.

She doesn’t fight fair. She fights to win. And in the arena… that’s all that matters.

Weird hypothetical but; If you were stuck in a 24-hour timeloop, could you still run a D&D campaign?

Setup:

• Players know OOC I’m in a timeloop. Ive found people I can convivence of this and can make time of dnd.
• Session 0 is normal character creation, but in-game everyone has amnesia.
• At the end of every session, each player writes/edits their notes which is say, 50 word max? something easy for me to memorize the gist of.
• These notes and their character sheet will be the only thing next loop them gets, to make it easier on me for memorization.

Then the loop resets.

Next session:

• Their characters wake up with no memories, only those notes.
• They have to figure out who they are, what’s going on, and what past-them was trying to tell them.
• But their ACTIONS still have consequences, npcs remember them, etc,

Repeat every session.

We thought we were helping the good guys protect the luxury steamer from monsters.

We learned we may actually be alone on a ship full of monsters.

We were all stressed and didn't know who we could turn to or what to do next.

Our barbarian is also our resident baker and knew we could use a pick-me-up and some direction.

This was her message to us.

Look at me. I am the captain now.

I am DMing two consecutive campaigns set in a homebrewed world, and I’m super proud of this party’s latest session.

They’re emissaries to two nations on the brink of war on a continent where the veil between the material and feywilds is thin. They got stuck in the feywilds and have been working on getting back. A fey lord has been creating portals to the material plane by destroying great trees (to the party druid’s horror), and they assaulted his stronghold to stop him from his conquest and capture tools needed to navigate the portals. The battle took place on a platform high above the main portal at the center of the network.

This battle between them (all level 5, a minotaur paladin, hedgefolk druid, and bugbear rogue) and the fey lord was _superb._ They were clever and used their abilities well, and there was a big twist reveal with the fey (who was rumored to be omnipresent) being three dudes masquerading as one and switching places. It got tense (pictured here) when both the druid and paladin went down, and the rogue just happened to have _one_ healing potion. In the end, the party defeated the boss each with single-digit health. I’m super happy that the stat block I built was so well balanced and put the perfect amount of pressure on the party.

I won't go into too much detail about the character's backstory since she's not mine. Ebony is a vampire involved in wars and doesn't particularly enjoy them. She's a melancholic character and could easily fit the definition of a "weapon of war." The owner of the oc asked me to capture that in the illustration, and they were very happy with the result. It's one of my favorite illustrations I've done. 🥰

So I was playing with this group, (all guys, idk their races) and the dm pulled me aside a couple days ago to tell me my accent was making the other players uncomfortable. For context, I’m black and creole (from Louisiana), and I use AAVE rather liberally, but can code switch and I typically do depending on my comfort level. Normally I DO code switch around these guys bc I don’t really know them.

The thing is, I made a black, voodoo based character and I really wanted to lean into my own culture for inspiration, I didn’t make some hip hop caricature, he was just very clearly black and kind of a self insert. It’s the first time I’ve ever done something like this, so I was kinda excited.

Two sessions down and the dm pulled me aside to say the way I was talking was breaking immersion for everyone and making them uncomfortable bc it felt like I was mocking black people, so they asked if I could “just speak normally”.

I told him “this is actually way more normal for me. The accent you experience is whitewashed bc I don’t really know you, but the way I speak in game is truer to my actual accent” to which he responded,

“Look, I don’t really care. At this rate, I’m kinda doubting you even are black because black people just don’t really talk like that outside of movies and things. And I’d know, I’ve had plenty of black friends in my life, Ebonics is real, but not the way you’re doing it. You need to drop the voice or find a different table.” I swear to god, verbatim.

I was definitely in shock but ultimately, after sending a pic of a certain black finger, decided to just dip out. It was pretty clear that table wasn’t a match for me.

It was pretty shitty but ultimately, I’m just glad I left sooner rather than later.

Sample sentences of the “fake” AAVE

*to a scamming merchant* ”I’ma be real with you, that just might be the dumbest shit I ever heard.”

*to a player* “You really gon try that? Aight well I’m finna stand back here, you can do what you gotta do.”

*to player during combat, my turn* “Boy if you don’t take the n*gga head off!”

**EDIT: I’d just like to note, my usage of the n word was NEVER discussed at any point, even during the conversation when the DM asked me to drop the accent**

*EDIT 2: I really REALLY appreciate all the (very unexpected) support on this. I see all of you and genuinely, I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m turning off notifs for now because it’s definitely overwhelming, but like, thank yall so much for all the love. 🩵🩵

So this is my character, named "Vael Huntwind". He is a Wood Elf Ranger. Just resting on the hill of Trensender Manor and watching Phandalin Town, the party has already split up, and his friend Gundren is already dead. There is no home to return to because it has been destroyed (burned). Thinking about what he should do next? Should he stay in the city or do another adventure?

Just an illustration for my character after finishing the LMOP Campaign, enjoy, guys!
*You can use it as a phone wallpaper hehe
