I am a new player starting with The Lost Library of Lethchauntos as my first campaign, so I decided to commission a drawing of my character! My plan is to play as many campaigns as possible with this same character, and then have another drawing made to have a "before/after" comparison after a few years.

His name is Kal'el, a Goliath with the Stone Giant ancestry. He is, as you may be able to guess by the name, heavily inspired by Superman. He has the same personality and sense of justice, and his background also follows this inspiration:

After a Red Dragon decides to claim the territory in the mountains in which his parents' village was located, they are forced to flee in the night, amidst the flames and the incinerated bodies. His father sacrifices himself to distract the Dragon and buy time for his mother and the baby she's holding in her arms, and it's enough for her to finish drawing a circle on the ground, full of sigils.

Unfortunately the Dragon is able to find and attack her just as the portal opens, and seeing that spitting fire wouldn't be fast enough to get her before she jumps in the portal, he reaches with his paw and impales her in the ground with one of his claws. Still, her arms go through portal, and as it starts to fizzle away the dragon instinctively tries to attack through it with this other paw; as a result, both of her arms and one of the Dragon's fingers are cut off as the portal closes.

On the other side, a human farmer passing by with his mule finds a crying baby, still being held by two bleeding, gray arms. Right next to it a massive claw is planted on the ground, with blood running down and painting everything around in red.

​I decided to show you my special custom d20 that I use as a Dungeon Master. As you can clearly see from the picture, every single face on this die is a 20. It's the ultimate tool for when the party decides to split up or do something incredibly reckless, and I need to remind them who runs the game. Obviously, it's just a funny prop and a joke item, but my players always get a minor heart attack whenever I bring it out and roll it behind the DM screen. The sound of a rolling die followed by an immediate "natural 20" is pure terror for them. How would your players react if you showed up to a session with a die like this?

I have the spell find familiar

Now I noticed find familiar lets me cast 10ft away from me

I also noticed that misty step lets me teleport anywhere I can see

And find familiar lets me see through the creatures eyes

So when we came up too a locked door and I saw that there was a slit at the bottom of the door meaning. There wasn't matter on the other side I decided to do this to teleport through the door

And the DM just changed how find familiar worked on the spot so if I'm looking through the familiars eyes I can't cast spells

This happened again when we needed lockpicks in a grim hollow campaign and had none

I used the spell extract iron to make iorn lockpicks from my characters blood

And the DM just changed it and was like uh no you cant make lockpicks because you " haven't seen them " even tho my character literally used to be a thief before they got cleric magic 💢

Growing up, I never felt safe to indulge in D&D, MTG, high fantasy, or anything deemed "nerdy". It wasn't deemed tough by my peers, and a sign of weakness in my culture. Displaying interest often led to bullying, harassment, and ridicule. I am happy to say that I am now at a point in my life that I can live as a proud nerd. This is the first room you see when you enter my house. I call it my dungeon/nerd cave. I've built a small community of friends and I host many games throughout the week. I feel honored to provide a safe space for my fellow nerds to feel welcome regardless what ridiculous barriers hold them back. For many, my dungeon has been where they got their first taste of D&D. This is a room I'm quite proud of to be honest. This is where I get to truly be me.

GIVEAWAY: Sepulcrus, the False Liberator

Help keep this comment visible so the giveaway rules and entry details are easy to find for everyone.

To enter the giveaway, leave one first-level comment on this post.

As Archvillain Encounters: Death & Beyond enters its final days on Gamefound, every physical pledge includes 5 free physical miniatures!

We are celebrating the end of our campaign with a giveaway of one massive Sepulcrus PVC miniature, professionally painted by Minis for War.

Here’s the link to our campaign: https://gamefound.com/projects/archvillain-games/archvillain-encounters-death--beyond?refcode=aabxe9ccy06G62NL9zhtRA

The giveaway will be drawn when the campaign ends on Wednesday, June 10th, 2026, at 7:00 PM EEST / 4:00 PM UTC.

Sepulcrus was born from the bitterness of failed rebellions. Every crushed uprising, every slain liberator, every promise of justice buried beneath a tyrant’s boot left something behind. Over centuries, that resentment gathered in the dark until a cult of desperate rebels sacrificed themselves atop a mass grave, binding the bones of fallen warriors into a single undead form.

He does not seek a throne. He does not want peace. Sepulcrus feeds the cycle itself, whispering promises of liberation to the desperate and turning righteous anger into ruin. Beneath the war-scarred capital of Asheroth, he reignites old grudges, twists every attempt at peace, and grows stronger each time hope collapses into violence.

The painted giveaway miniature measures approximately:

Height: 8.46 inches / 21.5 cm

Unpainted versions of Sepulcrus are also available through the Archvillain Encounters: Death & Beyond Gamefound campaign, along with the material needed to bring him into your 5E games.

what it says on the tin, wanted to stretch my legs when it came to 3d modelling and this seemed like a fun project. still waiting on all the parts to come in to fill the rest of the dice, but I thought the d20 turned out nicely. hopefully you think so too!

as well, the faces are removable, although it does require the use of additional tools (I've had success with the Lego crowbar) so they're very modular! still trying to figure out whether I'd want clear faces to show off the colour of the piece recessed into the dice, or if it looks alright covering them up.

Here's how this guy came to life 👁 Sculpted the Beholder, made a silicone mold, cast it in resin. Painted him up. Then did the exact same process separately for the eyes and glued them on. The jar was a fun surprise turns out glass and resin don't get along so I had to mold and cast the jar in resin too 😅 Once everything was ready I placed him inside and poured it with resin. Sealed in forever. He's not getting out

I'm currently dming curse of strahd with some players that have played numerous campaigns so they are definitely far from inexperienced. We got to the bone grinder mill which if you haven't played strahd the mill has three hags in it and you want to try to fight them individually otherwise when they are close together they form a coven. I try to warn my players to be smart and be quiet about getting into the mill however they wanted to quote "atomize the door" and when inside the paladin and barbarian also to quote said " I flip my axe sideways to create more damage breaking stuff" so it's fair to say that they did everything wrong and all three hags got to them and the paladin went down like 4 times and died on the fifth and now won't stop complaining that I am too harsh of a DM and should have given them a get out of jail free card. I told him that's stupid and you should think before you do stuff and now he won't stop complaining. Was I too harsh or should I have given them a get out of jail free card.
