 What are some lines you REALLY don't want to hear as a player?

From past experiences here are mines:

- "You hear a whispering voice from your bag of holding, do you want to reply?"

- "The walls are not breathing... yet."

- "Alright, the Moon rolls for initiative"

 Catharsis, part 2 [OC]
Posted: 2026-09-23T14:08:14+00:00
Author: /u/bondjimbondhttps://www.reddit.com/user/bondjimbond

If you missed the last episode you'll probably want to start there.

Or if you're really confused, you could go back to the very beginning of the changeling's story arc.

Or even the very start of the series if you want to binge read and maybe laugh a bit.

Changeling-Kayra tells her story pretty thoroughly here... a construct of mud and sticks, assembled by the night hag Granny Dismal to replace the stolen child she intended to raise as a new hag. Granny gave the changling a real human soul, which she acquired through her haggish ways, and changeling-Kayra has been living her whole life masking as a human. (That stolen child is one of the main protagonists of this series... don't worry, she has a very happy life.)

She's been struggling for ages to tell her fiancé the truth about herself. Now that she's finally confessed.. this was not the reaction she expected.

Believe it or not, Love and Hex is a comedy, not a drama. It started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/existential horror story. It's on Webtoon and, well, all over the internet. Also r/LoveAndHex. And you can find a version with a full transcript on my website.

 New player says my alignment is wrong
Posted: 2026-09-23T14:37:14+00:00
Author: /u/Ecstatic-Mixture2189https://www.reddit.com/user/Ecstatic-Mixture2189

I recently arrived in a city my character had never been to before. There was a huge crowd because an event had just ended, and I had just woken up and gone to talk to my companions.

I needed new armor, so I approached an NPC and asked where I could find an armor shop. He gave me directions, but before I could walk away, he said something along the lines of:

“Nothing in this city is free.”

He then demanded money in exchange for the information and threatened to call the authorities if I refused.

My character didn't want any trouble. I wasn't interested in wasting time getting into unnecessary fights with random NPCs when all I wanted was to buy some armor and leave. So I simply used Command to make him walk away.

Later, after the session, we were discussing our characters' alignments. A player who had recently joined the table told me that my character's alignment was wrong and that, because I play a Chaotic Evil character, I should have killed the NPC.

I tried explaining several times that my character doesn't randomly murder everyone who annoys him. He chooses who deserves his violence and who is worth the effort. If killing someone would create unnecessary problems, attract the authorities, waste time, or otherwise accomplish nothing, why would he do it?

He's a Vengeance Paladin, so violence and mercilessness are absolutely part of his character. But that doesn't mean he's a mindless psychopath who has to attack everyone who inconveniences him.

Ps: later, on a second encounter I threatened him with my sword and he ran away.

My basic arguments were:

Chaotic Evil doesn't mean stupid.

Chaotic Evil doesn't mean “kill everyone who annoys you.”

My character is extremely violent toward people he believes deserve it.

He is willing to kill without much remorse when he thinks it's justified or useful.

But he can also be pragmatic and self-interested when violence would only create unnecessary problems.

Avoiding a pointless fight with the city authorities over an annoying NPC doesn't contradict his alignment.

In this particular situation, using Command to make the NPC leave was simply the most efficient way to get what I wanted.

I feel like my character can be both cruel and pragmatic without being an idiot.

So... am I misunderstanding Chaotic Evil here, or is the other player assuming that “Chaotic Evil” basically means “murderhobo who has to kill anyone who annoys him”?

 [OC] I made a group of Paper wolves!
Posted: 2026-09-23T11:57:39+00:00
Author: /u/ThePaperMagehttps://www.reddit.com/user/ThePaperMage

A little while ago I made some Paper wolves mini. I Thought i would show a small video of the group ^^ There's 2 large variation and 2 smaller ones. Im thinking I need to do some skeleton or undead variants for next month ^^

It did take a while to create the right designs for them. I didn't want to create something too flat nor to complicated. It always that middle ground thats fun to find ^^ Between simple but interesting shape..

I think they partner very well with the goblins mini! Enjoy! This month paper project will be a graveyard set, I think that will match well for a Halloween one-shot or something ^^

 3 things my DM did that shook me
Posted: 2026-09-23T13:50:12+00:00
Author: /u/spooderoverlordhttps://www.reddit.com/user/spooderoverlord

For context, we play DnD with 4 people and have been playing our 'main' campaign for almost 7 years now. Yes, the same campaign, same story, with pretty regular sessions (our next session will be session 100). I am not a Redditter or talk to a lot of other people who play DnD so i don't really know how rare this is but to me that's crazy (in a good way). Our sessions usually just last the whole day and it just makes sense, because when i tell you this is the MOST elaborate, detailed, building-up campaign you have ever seen. I've lost the exact character count but it's like 500+ maybe 600 - and most of them are genuinely memorable/we have some sort of dynamic with. Our main quest is to collect shards, as part of a bigger collective, and hopefully prevent bad people from obtaining said shards (in short). We definitely do not have all the shards yet (working on it) and it's partially because we just have too much fun sidequesting continuously and interacting with the characters (also continuously, to the point where we sometimes have to be teleported out of the shops). Well, without further ado, here's 3 things our DM did that shook me or stuck with me - beware this is not a top 3 in any way because i wouldn't be able to rank this or name everything. It is simply a selection.

  1. Most recently: wrote 27 pages of lore about the worlds history & religion, in the style of a lecture that a well-known professor was giving us. 27 pages. We wanted something from this in-game professor and the deal was that if one of us scored a perfect score on his test, he might consider. We are suckers for things like this (our DM knows us very well lol). We studied the 27 pages. The lore was actually interesting, talking about the origin of certain religions denominations and applying different concepts to them. It felt like i was reading about an existing culture somewhere on this planet. Oh yeah we ended up not making the test (yet) because i got attacked severely. This is also dnd.

  2. Made me actually cry, physically, during the session. My character's mom has passed away and during a scene in a swamp (which was kind of an otherworldy place?) my character got to "talk" to her for a bit. The way this was built up just hit my like a suckerpunch (mother-daughter nicknames were used) and i started bawling yasss. 10/10 will never forget.

  3. Created another language/counting system in this language, let an NPC tell us about it/teach us in game, and afterwards we encountered our most feared character and she started counting down from 10 to 0, IN THIS LANGUAGE. we ran. Also sort of relating to this but one of my favourite puzzles had to do with this counting system and included a different kind of clock as well- we got an irl representation of this clock system that we actually had to turn etc to solve for certain times.

this is far from everything, i could do a pt 2! but moral of the story is our DM is cool

A commission I ordered of my friend’s black acid dragon patron to his warlock character. In a previous campaign, he was a young dragon that was slain by our party and his remains were used to forge a sword for our fighter. Because the blacksmith rolled a Nat20 when forging the blade, he did such a good job that the dragon’s soul was actually sealed within the sword. In our current campaign, that fighter’s descendant now wields the blade, and the newly awakened dragon within wants to make a devilish deal with him.

 +17 to hit at lvl 9 (no magic items, no multiclassing, 1 character, 2024 phb only)
Posted: 2026-09-23T10:33:35+00:00
Author: /u/XanaWasTakenhttps://www.reddit.com/user/XanaWasTaken

Fun combination I realised recently, this can put up some really high numbers at every level, I'm just highlighting level 9 as you generally have a +8/9 to hit, so the number sounds ridiculously high.

We'll pick up magic initiate druid as our origin feat, so we can get the shillelagh cantrip, letting us augment 1 club/quarterstaff to let us use our spellcasting ability modifier for attack and damage rolls (also a bigger damage die).

We take 9 levels devotion paladin, though we can stop much earlier, we only want the level 3 feature sacred weapon and 2 ASIs so we can max out our charisma. Sacred weapon lets us spend a channel divinity to bless a melee weapon, so that for 10 minutes we can add our charisma modifier to attacks with that weapon.

Then we'll pick up the magic weapon spell and upcast it to third level, letting us make 1 weapon magic, and giving it a +2 to hit and damage.

We'll also focus on bless, adding an extra d4.

All together, at level 9, we add our charisma modifier, then again, then proficiency, then magic weapon, which is 5+5+4+2+1d4 = +17-20 to hit.

If we have a party who'd like to help out, it's also easy to stack a bardic inspiration on top of this, giving an extra d8, or an average of +4.5. Not that we really need it for anything but still.

Anyone who can do higher at similar levels?

 [OC] Generate a Dungeon with Rubik's Cube
Posted: 2026-09-22T19:57:39+00:00
Author: /u/pinkcurveshttps://www.reddit.com/user/pinkcurves

Hello everyone, this is my post in here. I have been using this system and I wanted to share with you. I don't know if that makes sense to you or if someone else did this previously but hope you find it useful. I've been a GM for 11 years. I love generating stuff with playing cards and lately I've been experimenting with this cube. I don't know how to solve it but it's a great way to do quick generation I think. Edit: thank you so much for all your interest, never had this many before

 [OC][Art][Comm] Dual blade fighting tiefling
Posted: 2026-09-22T18:41:21+00:00
Author: /u/Okcyrhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Okcyr

Art Commission - Vaelis Mourne, a tiefling fighter in gambesson, dual wielding runics blades and fighting for the Crying Maiden, sigil of House Lamenta. What a character! I really enjoyed myself with this one. I like that sometimes with one idea, you can take out different ideas and incorporate them, like the the Crying Maiden, the golden tears on the gambesson... maybe i could have gone further into the tear/maiden thing. If you have ideas, i'm all ears.

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

 Whats the most petty reason you've sent players on a quest?
Posted: 2026-09-23T12:34:57+00:00
Author: /u/Master_Betty603https://www.reddit.com/user/Master_Betty603

Players have been commissioned to find and assist a historian in search of ancient ledgers. NPC historian has been searching for 3+ years with no success.

When they finally find the ledgers, which are actually employment records, the historian explains he now has proof that his colleague/peer was wrong about a long dead hero being in the royal guard, but was instead actually in the city watch.

What are some of your favorite "petty" quests?
