So my husband is the DM of our group of 4 or more players. The group has been going on for a solid 6 or more years with players switching out periodically. My husband and I are the only ones of the original group left, and this is based on things he's done throughout the whole 6+ years.

There's been several times during our epic campaign where the whole party would get rewarded with magic items at the end of a particularly hard battle or questline. The DM would tell us each what our items are one by one and he'd usually leave me for last, whereupon he'd gift me a pair of magic boots with varying effects. My PC cannot wear shoes/boots because she's a satyr. I point this out every time and each time the reaction is "Oh, sorry, lol" Then he'd give the boots to another player and leave me with nothing.

It's happened enough times that the pattern was noticed by myself and others at the table (who've all since left) and it seemed to become a running joke for my husband, which I didn't find particularly funny because it meant I kept getting screwed out of rewards.

Recently my PC sold a cursed magic artefact to an alchemist towards the end of one of our sessions, before the session wrapped up I was offered 3000gp in store credit at the alchemists store, I accepted and told my husband out of game that I was planning on spending the store credit next session so that he'd have heads up to create some sort of shop inventory.

Next session rolls around and I tell him I want to use my downtime to spend that store credit. In character, he tells me that he just got in a new shipment of magical footwear and jokingly tries to hype up his wares. I didn't laugh, I was hurt that he was doing this to me yet again and I told him painly, out of character "Love, if you're going to do this thing again where I end up with nothing I can use, could you please just give me the 3000 gold or give me the cursed crown back instead?"

His mood shifted completely and he snapped that he "couldn't keep DMing if this was going to be my attitude" and that the crown had already been sold. Again, I got nothing out of the interaction except the overwhelming urge to cry and a few awkward laughs from one of the other players at the table.

I guess I'm just hurt and confused over why he keeps doing this to me. Maybe perspective from other DMs or players would help?

So my girlfriend who is a huge D&D player, she loves all things, D&D and Baulders gate. Her birthday is in a few weeks and I’d love to get her something really cool that she could maybe utilize at her D&D nights. But alas I know very little about the game. So I am here to see if you guys could offer any suggestions.

This is a funny story I had to share from last night’s session.

We had a new player join the group after another player had to leave the campaign. We’re level 10, and the new character is a drow warlock with… let’s just say somewhat suspicious motives.

To help explain why the party would trust him, his backstory tied him to the departing PC. He even arrived with a letter of recommendation that basically said, “Yes, he’s a drow, but judge him by his actions, not his appearance.”

The party is currently exploring an ancient tomb belonging to a long-dead order of knights, searching for an artifact. Unfortunately, a cult we’ve been dealing with got there first, so we’re basically clearing the place out room by room. The new character joins right after a major battle from the previous session.

Naturally, there’s some in-character distrust because, well… suspicious drow. But thanks to the recommendation letter, everyone agrees to give him a chance.

About ten minutes later, we run into our first combat of the night. It’s a pretty minor encounter—just a lone stone construct in some narrow tunnels. The kind of fight that’s more about draining resources than actually threatening the party.

The new warlock’s very first roll of the campaign?
Natural 1.

Our table uses the Critical Rolls critical hit and fumble cards. They’re definitely not for everyone, but they’ve created some unforgettable moments. (My character permanently lost an eye to one a while back.)

Since it was a spell attack, the DM drew a magic fumble card and read the effect:

“The caster falls madly in love with the target and defends them for 1d6 rounds.”

He rolled a 4.

So this drow, who had literally just convinced the party to trust him despite all the red flags, immediately turned around and started defending the stone construct and attacking the rest of us.

The construct only survived one more round, but we kept combat going long enough to play out the effect because everyone was laughing too hard not to.

It was one of those perfect D&D moments where the dice create a better story than anyone could have planned. Now several of the characters have even more trust issues with the new guy… while the players all had an absolute blast.

I don't know how you feel about reels here on Reddit but I just made it and I thought a few of you might enjoy it.

What you are looking at here represents 16 years worths of my DnD characters.

I could go back further but I don't remember half of my shitty characters from way back.

Our group started playing DnD when the third edition was released. After many years we were ready for a change, so when fourth edition came out in 2008 we were done with The Forgotten Realms and started playing in our own homebrew setting. All the characters portrayed here are characters that I have played in our homebrewed world.

It all began with Virelai. I made an eladrin because that was fresh and new. We did the starting adventure "Kobold Hall" to try out the system. It ended with a TPK in the Dragon fight, but I brought her back later (with a scar and a newfangled tragic backstory. Also a hatred for dragons.)

The first character created specifically for the setting was my paladin Liv. We started out in the northern part of the world and our game master was inspired by the going ons in 12th Century in the Nordic countries.

Also with some demons and other things…

Every new campaign since then, the world has evolved and expanded.

Arild (bard) was the first character that I played on virtual table top. We have been playing on VTT since then.

Marja (druid) is my first character for fifth edition. I though I would make it easy for myself with a mechanically simple character like a druid to learn the system. That first adventure also ended with a TPK. We pretended it never happened. There were a lot of rats...to many rats.

Turid (paladin) is the first character that I drew in this style and I started putting in some effort in to learning how to draw proper looking armour.

Honoré (paladin) is the last of the characters from the last of our campaigns that ended 2years ago.

Since then we have moved on to greener pastures and are taking an indefinite break from DnD.

So that makes it even more special to have done this project to remember all the good times we have had.

I don't know if anyone will read all of this, you can just look at the picture if you like.

A few days ago our group had a really interesting moment and I would like to share it here and ask(especially the other dms) if I was to harsh or if my action was reasonable.

So I am the forever Dm in our group and I actually like it, I have a lot of fun building worlds and adventures for them. But we have one guy who always wants to kill and steal everything he gets close to. I will call him X. The other players mostly manage to stop him but this time they didn’t.

So for some background Information, the players are part of a rebellion, which is currently at war with the kingdom. They managed to overthrow the first city and now have to defend it, which they want to do through infiltrating the enemy’s military leaders and killing them. So they walk to the city where most of them are rallying their troops at the moment and I made clear, that the enforcement of the law is really harsh there, because of the critical times.

At first everything went well, they managed to get their hands on valuable information, weapons and jewellery. Then X wants to sell the jewels to a local shop. I already knew, he was going to try to also steal stuff, so I told him, that most of the shops are guarded through warning systems. After I made up the shop owner, a nice old lady named Gerda, he sells the jewels to her ans everything seems to go well. But then he decides to draw his axe and kill her. At that moment I had enough (and I think all the other players too) so I made her react quick enough to start the alarm. After she died, guards reached the place, fought X and managed to overpower him. And because murder is a serious crime, he got executed the day after.
Would you have done something differently or was my decision reasonable?

u/Andromedan_Cherri was kind enough to provide the lore of Nina for me to draw

Nina used to be a farm girl with a fascination for magic, so left home to study healing magic and pursue her calling. Midway through her semester, a high-ranking local nobleman searching for a personal attendant who could work on his wounds and keep him company offered her a job as his personal healer. At first, she rejected, but agreed to talk about it more. After a few weeks, she finally agreed and became his personal healer, tending to his wounds and ensuring he was in good health.

While keeping each other company, the two fell in love. However, after he was mortally wounded, she was dismissed from his service. Years passed, after coming to terms with her loss, Nina joined an adventuring party and vowed to never let her healing magic fail any of those close to her again.

Aria Talif is a human lorekeeper who reluctantly took the job of being a collector. She went on a journey with her party after her lover's passing due to a mysterious illness, intent on investigating what happened and what illness this is. She does not want anyone else to lose a loved one to the same illness and was determined to stop it. Donning the mask and cloak, she ventures under the orders of the cult-like council to collect relics and information to prevent the spread of this ailment and tragedy.

Hi there! 👋

I'm open for commissions. I love drawing TTRPG/DnD characters, OC, self insert, and your favorite characters. I am okay with drawing anything including furries, gore and nsfw. Reach out to me through my DMs or email (roscheaarts@gmail.com)

I couldn't find this question posted anywhere on any website, so I'm asking it here because I'm curious.

Personally, I wish there were official rules for racing. I'd probably wind up modifying them, but at least there would be a framework to build off of. And in the meantime, I could include races without having to homebrew a system from scratch.

Previous post with his concept!

This is how I envisioned his semi-ceremonial portrait before his tragic expedition into Arcane Wastelands... where he got fused with his armor by a magical rot. I mean, not the *worst* thing that could happen to an adventurer, right?..

Is it necessary to have a concept-spread, portrait and a bunch of sketches for a character to play a campaign? Probably no 🙂

Is it fun coming up with all of that? Definitely 🙂

(also the players and GMs usually love it!)
