Léandre Cannibale before the world went to hell was quite a elven heartthrob. Women loved him and men wanted to be him. He got promoted to corporal due to his quick victory in battle over a rival country and stories of his military time was popular in penny dreadful comics.

When the apocalypse started, Léandre did what he always did in times of stress. Hatched a plan. Him and the remnants of the military took control of a walled off community deep in the heart of his home city. Once the dust settled he found himself the mayor of said community. One of the very few communities left standing in the ruins of the world.

Time rusts all things though. Over two hundred years the once beautiful Léandre degraded into a blob of a selfishness, moral degenerate. Stress eating became a thing in his routine. Food is quite rare though and...humanoid flesh is not. His military due to troop lossage has been mostly replaced by raiders, thugs, and likeminded individuals.

He has been losing his mental strength too. He allowed the local sect of Lathander to set up a church in his community most likely out of nostalgia. However since Lathander's death (long story) most of his church members have become borderline feral monsters. The bakers in his community attempted to unionized for better wages and rations. The Corporal Cannibal ordered the death of the union organizationer causing small scale riots.

It's up to the party to save the community from a bloated relic of an era long since dead.

I’m new to making my own dungeons, and I wanted to make a labyrinth but i’m not sure if the scope of this is quite right. This is the second part of a two shot i’m doing for 3 players, where they’ve just arrived in the feywild. They’ll need to go through this labyrinth, then at the end, they’re going to be sent to another dungeon area where the finale is. Each number is something they can interact with, such as a teleportation point or magic fruit, and there are wandering monsters i’m gonna throw in as well. There are a few things planned before they make it to the labyrinth too. Anyways any advice appreciated!

Here’s a few things about the group:

(You’ll know who’s who, lol)

“Lucky” Nyx (Tiefling Rogue) – Cheerful, quick-witted, and thrives on risk. Sees every heist as a game she’s destined to win. Uses charm as much as daggers, and somehow always lands on her feet.

At-Grok (Half-Orc Barbarian) – Towering and intimidating, yet deeply protective. Speaks little, acts fast. Her rage is legendary, but around her party, she shows a quiet, almost gentle loyalty.

Pipwick “Pip” Tumblegrin (Gnome Bard, Jester) – Unhinged and theatrical, lives for chaos and laughter. Breaks tension with absurd antics, but hides sharp insight beneath the madness. Never predictable.

Caelen Hardy (Half-Elf Ranger) – Confident to a fault, precise and deadly with a bow. Thrives on proving he’s the best in the room. Clashes with Pip often, but secretly trusts the group with his life.

as per title I like to play human fighters, pretty much all I played since I started role-playing, even out of DnD or in older editions for the past 15/20 years.

I have a group with whom we have been playing since COVID and recently my character died and the table as well as the DM asked me to not bring another human fighter.

I replied that I have no problem if someone else also wants to be a fighter, I do not care for exclusivity of my class but it is something I have fun playing and that I know.

Apparently it is more an issue of diversity and repetitivity.

They asked me to have a think of it, but I feel like I am being pressured to accommodate others and do something I don't want to...

did anyone else have similar situation?

(just to add the characters I bring do have different backgrounds, stories, names etc, they are not carbon copies of each other. not a situation about "Borg, cousin of the deceased Barg, showed up")

Hey hey! as the title says I recently got into dnd and I really wanted to share this character I made! Ive always wanted to play as like a shapeshifting wolf guy lol

so Introducing: Erik Nightwhisper ("The traitor")

he's a Kemonomimi (wolf eared), that's a Druid (Circle of Moon, haha of course it is circle of moon)

short summary of his story:

He was once part of a famous wolf clan that protected the forest. Some things led to another and when a fight broke out he ended up hurting Zephyr the leader of the clan. Enraged by this Zephyr accused him of being a traitor or like betraying the clan so she wanted to punish him for his acts. Erik ended up running away and has been on the run since then! (that's like my way to force him to join a party. He is supposed to be this scared lone wolf typa character that is forced into a group cause yk he doesn't really want to be killed, only to realise he really likes said group)

some funfacts or thoughts when I made him:

- I saw some people have characters with lore mechanics. in the sense of like "Yeah this character doesn't have ears so I am going to make their perception lower cause they can't hear"

stuff like that and I wanted to play around with a challenge like that!

so if you noticed the supports in his right leg then bingo that's exactly what I added. In lore he was born with a defect where his bones didn't entirely form correctly on the right leg, causing them to not habe full mobility/not be able to be used as intended. so he made himself some supports. I was thinking that maybe the dm could decide when I'd roll with disadvantage cause of it. lets say he wants to kick someone with the right leg? realistically he's going to suck at it or it's going to hurt him more than the other person right? why not make me roll with disadvantage on it (I really love the rp aspect of dnd so this would make me super happy haha)

- He ended up looking very very feminine. The way I drew him originally just started with "I want to draw a new dnd character" and I generally tend to draw woman and feminine people more often. so yeah he's a pretty fem dude. but honestly I don't mind. I think it fits him

- I made all of his clothing on different layers meaning I could like freely dress him however I want. Or showcase all of his different layers cause they are all drawn lol. he's got a full body suit under all that and like long gloves you absolutely cannot see! but they exist and I know how the clothing layering works so haha

anyways

This is my first ever post in this sub Reddit but I am hoping to be active and talk about dnd!!

If you got any questions or opinions please to tell me I love talking about my characters!

even if it's not about my character I am always up for a friendly chat :D

Got a piece done by a good friend of mine when my partner wanted to run a one on one prequel game to flesh out the backstory of my Arcane Trickster/Warlock before she got levels in Warlock.

Kyrellia is a plague survivor of a small port town. Lived as an orphan for most of her teenage years in a church with other kids who lost their families. Enter religious abuse, tiefling discrimination ect ect... up and leaves joins a gang in a nearby criminal haven called Knife's Edge. A place for outcasts, criminals and practitioners of the unholy.

Honestly some of the most fun I've had playing a character. Telekinetic with Arcane Trickster and expertise in sleight of hand. The Actor feat with expertise in deception. Just playing as what we call "the background bandit the real party would encounter in a forgettable combat session".

Not to mention my partners amazing story telling skills and NPCs.

Shes a character who is very dear to me and I just wanted to share some of my favorite art of her c:

Now, this is my first time actually lining & coloring something I sketched. My DM has a cool homebrewed world with the base PHB races, a bunch of Genasi variants, and 2 or 3 more. I won’t lie, I was thinking of asking if he would allow a lizardfolk character, because I had never heard of what a Thri-kreen was. But then I looked them up and I thought they were cool as hell, so I made a fighter
