The new Becket figure has dropped! It's a 12cm scale big boy featuring your fave Redemption paladin, standing gloriously on a tactlerock (that's tactical rock for you not in the know), looking righteous AF.

It's sculpted by the very talented Joaquin Palacios, who's been an absolute treat to work with on this one!

Check it out here: Joaquin's store page and the STL files here on my Patreon!

Got a resin cast copy on my desk right now that I'm trying to paint in the official color scheme but... mistakes were made. I'm gonna try to trust the process and post the result next week :P

Stay excellent out there!

Peace and carrots!

My daughter (13) was recently removed from her monthly campaign. It’s hard for her, sent her into a complete tailspin bc the DM has been a close friend for a long time and she enjoyed the time/game. She has adhd and I think for her it was sometimes difficult to hold it together for 8-9 hours of play. Plus one day she was in the middle of something else on her phone so the DM got super frustrated. I think he asked her several times to stop, but never had a conversation w her regarding the consequences. She was shocked and upset when he texted her in the group chat that she was kicked out, citing unproductive behavior and disruption. Is it safe to say that the game probably just isn’t for her? I looked into it and reading the posts here, I see that there is a lot of preparation, time, and learning that goes into it…as well as a ton of playing stamina. Before she started playing she never really talked about it and didn’t show much interest. I think overall she just wanted to spend time w others. Either way, she’s devastated and I really don’t know how to help her. Any advice of what it takes and the kind of person who is best suited for Dnd would be greatly appreciated. Just FYI she’s extremely intelligent IQ is in the very high range. I’m assuming you have to be smart.

THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH! All of this has been so incredibly helpful and giving me insight as to the game itself and why it’s so important to be able to pay attention the whole time. I can 100% see her not being able to lockdown for probably more than an hour or two at a time. I’m going to talk to the DM‘s parents because I’m very friendly with them and they are great people. And they play the game and have a campaign that’s gone for nearly 30 years or something. I think that would be helpful too. And then I’m gonna see if I can get the kids to sit down and talk.

I've been working on a custom faction for my homebrew fantasy setting, centered around a nomadic culture of beekeepers.

These wandering caravans travel from region to region, following seasonal blooms with their giant badgers and mobile apiaries. Different flowers have alchemical properties that can be infused into their honey for different magical effects.

I thought it'd be fun to explore what a D&D adventuring party from this faction might look like! Here's a little lineup of characters, along with a glimpse of their caravan.

Still fleshing out the details, but I've been having a lot of fun with the concept.

Long before she became known as Vaelith, she was simply a young scholar fascinated by the mysteries of the night sky. While others studied the stars to navigate the world, she believed they held something far greater: fragments of forgotten histories, unfinished destinies, and whispers from beings that existed beyond mortal understanding.

Her obsession eventually led her to an abandoned sanctuary hidden deep within ancient ruins. There, beneath a ceiling painted with constellations no living astronomer could recognize, she discovered an old book bound in unfamiliar materials. Its pages were completely empty, yet the moment she touched it, strange visions flooded her mind. She saw distant kingdoms falling, forgotten gods awakening, and countless possible futures unfolding before her eyes. When she finally regained consciousness, a strange violet light had appeared within her staff, and the stars themselves seemed to whisper her name.

Since that day, Vaelith has become a vessel for knowledge that was never meant for mortal minds. Her book slowly fills itself with prophecies, although their meanings are rarely clear until the events have already begun. The mysterious energy she commands allows her to bend the veil between the physical world and the unseen, revealing things hidden from ordinary eyes. Yet every vision comes at a cost, and the more she learns about the future, the harder it becomes to distinguish her own thoughts from the voices guiding her.

Now she wanders from one forgotten place to another, searching for the origin of the book and the identity of the presence that granted her these abilities. Some consider her a blessed oracle, others fear her as a harbinger of calamity. Vaelith, however, has little interest in either title. She simply wishes to understand why the stars have begun showing her a future in which even the gods seem afraid.

This character was such a wonderful commission to work on! I really enjoyed bringing her mysterious presence, elegant design, and connection to the arcane into the artwork. Characters with such fascinating concepts are always a pleasure to illustrate, and I am especially happy with how her ethereal atmosphere came together.

okay so I’m currently in my first DnD campaign, just doing mine if phandelver with a group of friends. my character is female, and I rolled a nat 20 on asking one of the female NPCs to be my friend, and then that NPC and my character were chatting most of the session today while my other party members were doing their own thing around the town 😭. I think it may develop into a relationship because the DM asked me first what my character’s sexual orientation is (I said lesbian or bi), then closer to the end of the session he asked how fast I’m planning on taking the relationship (I said kinda slow burn). So I was just wondering what you guys think of character-npc relationships and if there’s any benefits?

TL;DL First campaign, my character might get into a relationship with an NPC. what are your thoughts on Player-NPC relationships? And are there any benefits or flaws?

Ive been playing dnd for many years but have never given the barbarian class a chance. Recently some friends of mine have invited me to fill in for a member of their party that is on vacation. The other member was playing as a paladin so I thought a barbarian would be a fun to play as. Given they need a tank.

The setting is based in a college setting where all the players are apart of different majors helping each other solve mysteries on campus. The paladin was half orc oath of ancients and an ecology major, in the story they left for the holidays and told the party that my character could help out if needed, because her and I were good friends. I plan on playing as a a full orc bear totem barbarian, I just don't know what major would fit for them. I'm open to any suggestions! I'm just out of my field I usually play as wizards & sorcerers. Thank you!

Personally, I like the howlers of pandemonium , and the General of Gehenna. I wish they would make more natives to both pandemonium , carceri and Gehenna.

Hey, I am a new DM and wrote an entire story and i an currently DMing it weekly. One of my players mentioned they was leveling fast (once a 5 hour session so far) The story is linear but not a railroad thete are multiple ways to get to each chapter for context purposes.

I tried to explain i originally wanted them to start at level 3 but I have a new player so I started them at one ap they could learn DnD and said they would level fast so they could get to 5 before the first BBEG and also the final evil boss is assisting them in gaining experience (they domt know this yet). But i started to think, maybe I am leveling fast? I planned on leveling them every 2-3 sessions after level 5/6 to a max level of 14/15.

I could always add more to the story if needed but im afraid that would make the story diverge too far off. I got laranoid, so I decided to come here and get opinions from others to see if this is soemthing they did as well.

I started this project in June of 2019, about 6 months after I got my cat Kaylee.

The only planning i did for this project was I knew where it wanted to go, and I knew that i wanted the top of the tree to match the height of the window sill it was going next to. So, using those measurement, I found out how big the d20 had to be if I wanted to use half inch plywood on top and bottom. It wasn't until I started cutting the 19 triangles that I realized what I was getting myself into, this thing was going to be large!

That first month or so I got quite a lot done, those will be the progress pics of the die being built. I just made a jig for my table saw to cut all of the angles as consistent as i could manage on each triangle. And then I used those little wood triangles support pieces (made from pressure treated 2x4 cause i had just built a fence and I don't like waste) on the inside to actually hold the pieces together, the large clamps weren't there to clamp, but to force the shape to not flatten out like a plastic d20 under a blow torch.

I knew that I wanted to have one face open to give my cat a place to jump into. Originally I wanted it to be like a blanket nest on the bottom that she could crawl down into, which is why you see the spray foam on the bottom. But, the more I thought about it, if she got into the bottom, and like I needed to get her to the vet or something, I would never be able to get her out of it lol. So I decided on a single shelf, but by that time, there were only 2 faces open, so i had to make it a folding design, so I could put it in, unfold it, and then screw in the last die face. The last step in this phase was finishing the inside, which was just pillow fluff and a DnD patterned fabric held in place by tacks.

I just realized that I don't have pics of the "supports" that go on the top and the bottom of the die. Since I wanted a flat plane for my cat to jump into, I had to tilt the die up on its edge. So I cut out several sets of triangles until I found the angle that worked out perfectly, and then I epoxied them in. I didn't want them to move EVER AGAIN(it was an annoy process if i'm being honest)! But yes, I had to get measurements of a die up on its edge in order to get the size to fit my window casement perfectly lol. I honestly don't know how I got it right lol.

And then...the moment I dreaded came to be...the great encarpeting. I ended up going to Home Depot and buying 2 rolls of short pile carpet, the gray and blue. I had to search for a printer in town that would be able to print the very large die face templates as I wanted them in 2 face segments in paper. I'll try and attach a pic of one of those. Then I had just had to start cutting, first all of the numbers out of the paper, and then all of the numbers out of the carpet. As I was cutting i realized that I had to cut the numbers twice each anyway, so i decided to pre-cut the large blue sections for the top and bottom, and then the blue number i cut out of there to go onto the die faces, and then the gray number cut out of the die faces went to the top and bottom! Least about of waste possible.

I ended up doing 2 faces at a time, putting it in position, making sure the numbers fit well inside the gray cutouts, and then I used carpet glue. Oh boy is that a pervasive substance. I had to sacrifice a pair of old socks that I only wore inside of the room I was working in.

Very very slowly it came together. It was actually pretty solid with just the connections between the die and the top and bottom plywood, but I decided to use 2x4s on the corners for additional support, I was originally going to just cardboard tubes, but the thing is a tank now with the additional support on the sides. There is no internal support inside the die, it was strong enough that I could put my weight on the stop of the die and it would hold its shape very well.

Last step was to put it all together, cover the 2x4s with sisal rope for the top and bottom, and then I used Furniture protector self-adhesive pads for in the middle part. She seems to really like it!

If I can, I'll post the video of her discovering it for the first time. She spent many hours watching me work on it from the door way, as I didn't let her in the room cause of the carpet glue lol. I think she knew it was for her. =D

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the insanity that is this project! =D
