Hi everyone!

To celebrate the release of my newest 5E/5.5E book, Kobolds & Kobolds: The Ultimate Kobold Handbook, I wanted to give a few copies away here on r/DnD!

I’ll be giving away one physical copy of the book, including the digital edition, plus five additional digital copies through DriveThruRPG, for a total of 6 winners.

The physical copy is available to entrants in Europe, North America, and Australia, and I’ll cover the shipping costs.

Kobolds & Kobolds is a complete toolkit for bringing kobold warrens, warbands, and dragon-worshipping clans to life. I wanted kobolds to feel like more than interchangeable low-level enemies, so the book includes a large variety of creatures and optional abilities, along with distinct kobold clans, warrens, traps, lair actions, encounter ideas, adventure hooks, magic items, VTT tokens, and art handouts.

Inside you’ll find beastmasters, warriors, inventors, mystics, mounted combatants, tribal leaders, and many other kobold variants. The different clans also come with their own cultures, tactics, favored creatures, special abilities, traditions, and relationships with dragons.

Whether you need a single memorable kobold encounter, an entire underground warren, or a recurring clan to challenge your adventurers, the idea is to give you enough material to make kobolds feel different from encounter to encounter while still keeping everything that makes them kobolds.

How to Enter

Just leave a comment on this post.

Any comment from an account that is at least 3 months old counts as an entry. One entry per account, and no purchase is necessary.

I’ll use RedditRaffler to randomly select the winners when the giveaway closes on September 11, 2026 at 4:00 PM CEST / 7:00 AM PDT, and I’ll edit this post afterward with the public results.

The first winner drawn who is eligible for physical shipping will receive the physical copy + digital edition. The other five winners will receive digital copies through DriveThruRPG.

If a winner drawn for the physical copy is outside Europe, North America, or Australia, they’ll still be eligible for one of the digital copies, and I’ll continue drawing until an eligible physical-copy winner is selected.

You can check out Kobolds & Kobolds on DriveThruRPG if you’d like to see exactly what’s included. I’ve also posted a longer preview with additional pages and details over at r/JonnyDM.

Good luck, and thank you to everyone who has supported my work!

Nice little article from CBC in Canada.

Art Commission - A mage that went too deep into dark knowledge but to achieve greatness the cost has to be heavy! Power comes at a price… Marcus Varro is the representation of this concept. Knowledge can be a curse and drive you to madness. His seals and parchments burn as long as his sanity goes away.

For this character, I had the opportunity to get close and really get inspired by a psyker from warhammer. I tried to recreate the color of the magic of W40k and I'm happy with the result, but I have to be better with working with light colors.

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

Marton is the chief of a magical, steampunk-ish floating city he can literally pilot around the world. The setting and everything are homebrewed by the client I think. Marton can use his staff to cast spells, but it is also the "key" with which he can activate the city and control it. The gears slot into a mechanism and the magic does the rest. The design is meant to convey elegance, rank, and also scientific attitude.

Last night, my players and I closed out our long-running campaign. Sessions 1-4/levels 1-2 led into and sessions 5-65/levels 3-12 were a part of the module *Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep*. Sessions 66-139/levels 13-20 were a part of a story of my own design.

I am a DM for a D&D 5.5e. I want to guide my party to a new location. I don't want to make it feel like railroading, so I decided to send an order to our Cleric: "Your temple commands you to go here."

However, another player (a Sorcerer) said: "The Cleric doesn't have to follow this order."

I told them that if a Cleric ignores a direct holy order, their deity can stop giving them magic. In my understanding:

• Clerics are channels for divine power. They pray during a long rest to prepare spells, asking their god for magic. If they disobey or make their god angry, they lose that connection.
• Warlocks are different. Their patron gives them knowledge/secrets, so even if they break their pact, they keep the powers they already learned.

My player strongly disagrees. They say Clerics never lose their powers once they get them, even if their god dies or abandons them.

I don't want to spend 10 hours reading wikis and forums, so I am asking here: How does this actually work in the 5.5e rules and lore? Can a Cleric lose their powers, or is it completely up to the DM?

Thanks for your help!

Edit 1: What I said before made it sound like I would punish my players if they didn't follow my railroad, but you can be sure I would never do that. Of course, I will find a way that won't make them upset. I just wanted to ask if it makes sense lore-wise to take away a cleric's powers, either directly or slowly, if they break their domain's rules too much.

A clever occultist who specializes in blood magic, curses, and forbidden rituals. Prefers manipulation and careful planning over direct confrontation, often serving as the party’s arcane expert and negotiator.

She carries a vial containing the blood of her former patron. Staring into it sometimes draws her into a strange trance, as though something within is quietly calling to her.

She’s remarkably superstitious and compulsive, and has an increasingly ridiculous list of “bad omens” she refuses to ignore.

I wanna hear about the worst inattentive players people have had in their games, what did they do? what ended up happening to them?

I had a player in our campaign who would just have their character autopilot whatever the party does and only chime in when loot was mentioned, low and behold I find out after the campaign ended that they had just been playing games on their laptop the whole time, they tried to argue they had ADHD but were kicked from the core group before the next campaign began.

Especially annoys me when they don’t actively engage or care about the game while you’ve got other people lined up who would love to play the game.

"You can hear the screams even before to see them. You can hear the smell of sulfur while they're approaching. But once you see them, it's already too late. Do me a favor kid: stay away from that place".

One day I didn't know what to draw, so I decided to try something new and had this idea to start working on some concept to make something cool out of it, and here it came out this brutal demon. I hope you're enjoying what I am sharing lately, if so stay tuned for even cooler and fresh art!

For commissions and projects just DM or email me!
