Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

To paint a picture, the (3rd level) party broke into a mage academy to retrieve an artifact. When they got it, they got attacked by guards and a monster, who burst through a window. They managed to kill the monster and persuade the guards to let them be.

So all that's left is to leave. Easy, right?

The cleric player jumps out of the broken window. Artificer throws him his mobile cannon, but the cleric fortunately passes the check to catch it. Then, the artificer climbs down using a rope. Time for barbarian. She takes the body of the monster and uses it as a pillow to lower the fall damage, still gets some hp taken. Only one player, sorcerer-warlock is left in the room. He exits through the main entrance to the academy.

The show will be written by John August and produced by Academy Award-winning director Alfonso Cuarón. The show also appears to be feeding on the corpse of Shawn Levy's Forgotten Realms TV series, which Netflix confirmed is no longer in development.

So I've been playing with a group for nearly three years now, and I'm encountering an interesting roleplaying challenge: almost nobody is left of the original party that set out on an adventure together.

Most of this isn't because of players leaving. We've had two instances of that, but mostly it's just people wanting to change characters. We were originally a party of five, soon after a party of six in Session Three, and only my character and that sixth member's character are still there.

Our mission remains the same, but the people on it have been shifting in and out. And with one of the two recent departures being my character's love interest, it's starting to occur to me just how much this should really be impacting him. The trouble is I don't quite know how specifically it should be affecting him, just that it should definitely be affecting him a lot.

"The way was not clear in the swamp, as other things one hope to never cross the path with".

Fellow adventurers: here another piece I recently worked on!

I wanted to draw a swamp-like place, where the ruins of the past silently lie and all hope of life is gone. But while going on, I felt something was a little off, because it felt empty, so here came the idea: what if a spirit, who still has not found peace on mortal lands, cross the path with this lonely and mysterious traveller? End of the story, now this drawing has something to tell! Hope you'll enjoy it, stay tuned for more.

To see more of my works, on ig you can find me as simone_tammetta_art

Also, last but not last, I am open for commissions and projects, just DM or email me!

For example let's say you could just change a Wizard so instead of using Int for your DC and spell attack you could use Wis instead, so a monk/wizard build wouldn't be so MAD.

Or make a Ranger use Cha so a dip into Warlock would work easily!

Or maybe you just wanted a really charismatic cleric and just had Cha as your stat with no multiclass!

What sort of shenanigans could you get into if a table had this rule? 😄

(Please note, this is just for fun.)

Some of D&D's biggest Devs talk about the future of Dungeons & Dragons, and just how "mature" Dark Sun will actually be. Plus what could Star Wars D&D look like...could Spelljammer and Planescape get new releases and much more !

I need help with a player problem.

So I'm looking for advice on what to do with a problem player. I will refer to him as player A. So Player A has become a problem he joined 4 months ago and hadn't played before. With him playing with us we have had several problems that I can narrow do to the following.

1. Attendance- he is constantly late or gone. He has missed entire months without warning or letting people know. And when we talk to him about it his simple reply is that it will happen again.

2. His personal beliefs differ for the tables and he is constantly making our sessions become political or religious. This may not be a big thing for all tables but dnd should be fun I don't want to worry about religion or politics while playing with friends in a fantasy world to escape the real one. And the table has a leave it at the door rule.

3. I as the dm believe he is impacting the party's roleplay in a negative way. He is super chaotic and has some pretty bad main character syndrome. This is the least of my problems with him because he's new to dnd and I think he's kinda testing the boundaries.

So with the above in mind I personally don't want him in the group. Here's the main problem with kicking out player A... There's another player, we'll refer to as player B. We all love playing with Player B. In the 4 months between now and when Player A joined. Player A and Player B have begun dating. I know due to me already trying to talk to them about unrelated dnd things but still serious things, like my personal health stuff, that I can't talk to either player about the other without them telling the other and both being hostile/upset with me. The rest of the party despite Player A's problems don't want to kick him because we may lose player B.

Player B is also a loyal girlfriend to a fault. She has torn apart friend groups and dnd parties before over her boyfriend troubles. So best case scenario I kick Player A and then Player B tries to take down the table.

I ,trying to not call anyone out, last session went out the table rules we all agreed on when joining again with all players only for player A to spend the session being super argumentative about everything and Player B not participating in the roleplay instead opting to text Player A while at the table.

And last session due to them not helping the party the PCs are in a really rough spot which isn't a bad thing but I have those voices in my head telling me the easiest thing to do would be to party wipe them. So I can avoid kicking them out and the potential fallout in my friend group that would be caused by player B if I kicked player A.

I just feel stuck. If I talk to player A or B they talk to each other and get into a fight with them. If I kick Player A, Player B destroys the party/group. If I kick both of them Player B will drag it into other facets of my life harming those. I feel like my best course is to just TPK. And start a new game without them. But I'm worried that would just kick the can down the road because if they find out they'll be mad then. I'm to the point where this has been eating at me for weeks now and it's taking away my enjoyment of dnd and my motivation to prepare sessions. I could really use some advice.

I don't think I need to say much. Basically, my player wants to argue that he, as an barbarian, should be able to easily throw other medium (same creature size as himself) around with ease, smaller ones like goblins should of course work, and even larger creatures. He mostly argues because of his "super human strength". His strength score is +3 (+6 while wearing his belt of giants strength).

He started arguing like this after a storm giant picked up his character and threw him against the paladin as one of his attacks. That made LESS damage than a normal attack from a storm giant does.

Now, quick and simple, should I allow him to do it? And with what rules do you think I should allow it?
