You pry open the heavy earthen door that has been keeping you from the tomb's inner-most sanctum. You are buffeted by a thick cloud of dust that is almost as bad as the stench of fresh corpses that rushes out to greet you. Wait, why would the corpses be fresh? Supposedly none have entered the tomb of the praetors in generations. A shadow moves, defend yourself!

Greetings adventurers! We are excited to announce that the /r/DnD mod team is looking to expand. Moderating a community as robust and complex as ours takes a lot of work, and requires a diversity of thought in its management. Do you think you're up to the task?

We are looking to fill several key gaps in our mod team. We are interested in users who can help with the regex that governs automod, users who can moderate outside of US time zones, users with experience identifying AI content, and users who can advocate for communities that are under-represented on /r/DnD. That being said, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES are encouraged to apply! We need mods who are willing to just do the monotonous busy work of moderating, which is most of the work.

Do you think you would be a good fit for our mod team? Apply today! If you have any questions please let us know in the comments.

2026 /r/DnD Mod Recruitment Form

The application will stay open for at least 1 week, though we may keep it open longer. After applications close we will work to review and reach out to those selected within a week, and then make a public announcement after onboarding.

With the final nothic slain, you are finally able to take in your surroundings. Piles of bodies, some of whom you recognize as the missing clergy, are in various states of decay. You doubt the bishop of Tyr is going to be willing to hand over that bonus now...

Important: I understand that genocide is a real world issue that is currently happening to multiple groups. But I don't understand how having genocide as part of a setting's history is controversial.

For those who don't know about Dark Sun, in the fictional history for the game the following races were killed off:

• Kobolds
• Ogres
• Trolls
• Orcs
• Gnomes
• Wemic
• Pixies
• Goblins

Behind the Scenes: The out of universe reason for this is that Dark Sun's devs wanted to remove more traditional fantasy races and lean more into non-traditional ones like Thri-Kreen.

In Universe Lore: In universe this was done by the Sorcerer-Kings/Queens who are villains of the setting. Several of them failed to complete their genocides, but stopped doing them when they realized that they were being tricked by their master Rajaat, who was planning to genocide Humans after all the other races were gone to give the world to Halflings.

So in Dark Sun the genocides happened long ago, based on my looking at the "Cleansing War" timeline it ended at 164th King's Age (~2000 years prior to the "Fall of Kalak" which leads to Free year 1).

TLDR: Genocide is not an active part of the setting, the people who committed the genocides are villains, and behind the scenes it is an excuse as to why stereotypical fantasy races aren't present in the setting.

Hey, some time ago I decided I should try to not only carve Minifigures but also try carving a monster for my players to fight. Sadly I can only share one picture here but you can check out more content on my social media if you want. This mini started at the pool while being on vacation with my friends and then I finished it at home. This monster is not really modeled after any original DND monster but still like this scaly boy. How would you call it? 👀

Here is a series of commissioned works I’ve created. These characters come from a variety of different projects—some are standalone character designs, while others are part of a full party. They span different races and classes, but each one was crafted with the same level of care and dedication.

I’m planning to compile them all on my page one day, so feel free to check out my profile if you’d like to see more of my work. I’m excited to share even more of my artwork in the future 💫

Modeled in Blender, printed in resin, painted then sealed in epoxy by me.

I was inspired by the dice jails/prisons that people use to punish bad dice. Those can be cool accessories at the tabletop, but the idea of a little negative. So, I flipped the script and came up with Dice Friends, to celebrate your favorite d20. I usually make mimics, so the first Dice Friend obviously needed to be a mimic too.

You can find my other mimics on my social medias:

Everyone has stories and anecdotes they can share around the table, especially if you're old enough to have house Ibuprofen and Car Ibuprofen... But this past session I encountered something I had not seen before in all my years of playing. The party, all lawful in alignment, is following clues into the woods. We come across a suspicious house at the end of the trail but have no solid evidence that this is in any way involved.

So we knock on the door... there's no answer... One of our party members tries the door, it opens, and a rug of smothering animates as a security system. We dispatch the threat and realize we shouldnt have broken and entered.

so we leave.

Because lawful people wouldnt just enter a house without due cause or an invitation.

We scouted the area around the house and then just went back to town... so the DM rubbed his temples and had to come up with another set of plot hooks to send us back to that house with a little more evidence... and even then, we knocked on the door and spoke with the bugbear occupants who told us to leave them alone... so we turned to leave... my aasimar cleric of bahamut wished them blessings of the platinum dragon...

and that's when we rolled initiative.

But to have such a good group of players that we can be lawful and ignore the OBVIOUS plot because lawful people don't just break the law willy nilly. chef's kiss.

This illustration was created as a commission for a client’s original Dungeons & Dragons character.

The tiefling sorcerer at the center of the scene is named Kaelsira, a wild magic caster whose powers first manifested during a violent storm that struck the desert city of Ashkara, where she grew up. Ashkara is a trade city built from pale sandstone and dust-beaten walls, a place where caravans cross the desert and survival often depends more on instinct than comfort. Kaelisra spent most of her youth navigating its harsher streets, learning to rely on her sharp mind and stubborn resilience.

Her magic revealed itself during a sudden storm that swept across the city one night. Lightning split the sky above Ashkara’s towers, and something in that moment awakened inside her. The magic that erupted that night was chaotic and uncontrolled, bending reality in strange ways around her. Since then she has carried the volatile force of wild magic — powerful, unpredictable, and never entirely obedient.

By the time of this scene, Kaelisra is traveling the desert roads mostly alone. The only companion at her side is Darian Holt, a wandering sellsword who agreed to escort her across the canyon routes for a share of whatever coin they might earn along the way. Darian is not a legendary hero, simply a seasoned warrior who has seen enough danger to recognize it when it appears.

Unfortunately for them, the canyon they cross is already claimed.

High among the rock walls lurks a Beholder , a creature that has made the canyon its hunting ground. From the shadows of the cliffs it commands a group of kobold servants, using them to control the narrow passage and ambush travelers foolish enough to pass through.

As the kobolds surge from the rocks and the beholder’s massive eye opens above the canyon, Kaelisra raises her hand and answers the ambush with gathering arcane power. The faint glow of magic in her palm hints at the unpredictable force she carries — wild magic ready to erupt in response to the attack.

Working on this commission was a lot of fun. Because the scene focuses mainly on Kaelisra and one additional character, I was able to spend more time exploring the design and expression of the tiefling herself, especially her posture and the moment where her wild magic begins to manifest in response to the danger around her.

Had a bit of freetime a while ago so decided to draw my D&D character 😊💕 Have been playing a campaign with friends for quite a while now (my first ever!) and finally managed to finish a drawing that represents my character in a way I'm happy with! His name is Krukarr, he is a fighter and while he looks cool and capable in this illustration, he usually is usually a bit more on the shy and friendly side.

I'm really enjoying DnD so far and hope to get into even more adventures. 🥰

I spent an ungodly amount of time on this, so I HAD to share it, even if I technically shared an old version of the art here already. It's not a functional character sheet of course, more like a fancy little cover to put at the front of my d&d notebook. I wanted to have the main stats and some general info on the character, plus the main items in her backpack. Some come from the acolyte background, some from the paladin starting gear. The thorn whip's stem is from the magic initiate (druid) feat I took for backstory reasons. The oath is mechanically an oath of vengeance dressed up as an oath of the ancients.

I wish I had more time to play her in my duet campaign with my partner, but alas, time isn't on our side. If you thought scheduling issues would be easier to resolve by living together, think again lol
