I decided to immortalize a moment in the campaign I DM that made me laugh. This player is very experienced and well-versed in faerie lore from around the world; The fact that his brain temporarily glitched made for a fun moment that the whole table enjoyed. I'm normally pretty flexible with retcons, but this was too funny and remained cannon.

EDIT: There were no major consequences for his misstep, he was able to talk the fairy down :)

The fey's design is based (loosely) on the exquisite "Prisma Hunter" home-brew creature made by u/AriadneStringweaver

Here's part 4 of my series of dnd monster watercolor paintings. If you like these and want to see more, let me know what monsters you want to see! So far, I've done an Owlbear, a Myconid, a Flumph, and now a Beholder.

If you're interested in the process, I have a time lapse video of the painting available on my Instagram @tomfoolerytotality.

I initially wanted him to be red, but it just wasn't working when I put the colors down. So I scrapped it and went with green. I kinda like it, makes him look like sleep paralysis Mike Wazowski.

so for context, one of my players who is really great and loves the game, refuses to make an original character. He has made one in the three years i have been DMing him and that was for the first campaign we did. he has played a weird version of sung Jin-woo, named sung Jin-woo, who was a cleric who never healed the party, he just cast animate dead every time it was available and, when he got the spell slots, create undead. he has also played the same, "within the rules of the game" anime characters like All Might (Monk with the hero background), Tanjiro (fighter with the merchant background), and once he started binge watching ben 10 and decided to make him (druid circle of the moon). I know I am probaly supposed to let him make whatever character he wants but the characters he plays are so forgettable, most of the time when my players sit down they have to ask what character he is playing, once he missed a session and everyone forgot to remind him until in the middle of the session he asked why we weren't going after the boss we defeated last session and everyone had to explain what we did in that last session. I think he seriously needs to make an original character but I have no idea how to convince him to do so.

She's my first DND character from a custom campaign we are doing

Inspired by the legendary tales of great champions, the young knight abandoned her birth name, believing that heroes are defined by their deeds rather than their lineage.

She set out in search of glory, but every quest ended in failure. But with each defeat, she rose again, refusing to surrender. Her relentless resolve drew the attention of the God of Failed Heroes, a forgotten deity who blesses those who never stop trying despite impossible odds.

Reborn as the gods paladin, she fights not for victory only, but to encourage those who come after to see that failure is not the end.

Commissioned art with my friend u/Deecode_art

Changelings are shapeshifters, beings whose true appearance is often hidden behind countless identities and forms. While many choose forms that help them blend in, others embrace appearances that reflect different aspects of their nature.
This particular form feels almost ethereal—soft iridescent hair, glowing golden eyes, delicate elven features, and moon-like markings that hint at fey magic and ancient mysteries. Yet, like many changelings, this is only one face among many. Behind this elegant and luminous appearance may lie darker, more intimidating forms, each revealing a different side of the same soul.
I loved exploring the contrast between beauty, mystery, and the ever-changing nature that makes changelings such fascinating characters.

Human Artificer: Armorer

Ria came from a remote island in the south east region. Wants to research about weaving patterns from different cultures and races but is very antsy about going out of her village. She struggles with social interactions and reading faces but will talk your ears out about complex magic systems.

Loves tinkering, to the point that he broke his great grandfather's mask (she was reverse engineering the infusion for her first armor) and repurposed it to a pauldron and a gauntlet (lacked materials so he broke some of their ancestral boat's pieces to complete the gauntlet)

She doesn't know who her parents are and does not care, but loves her sibling very much and taught her everything she knows about infusions/weaving patterns

Loves:

- Trains

- Explosions

- Thunderstorms

- Cats

- Druids

Hates:

- Rules (but will always abide by them)

- Authority

- Cutlery

- Fish bones (too lazy to pick them out)

This was a gift for a friend's birthday. His character's patron deity of sorts (it's...complicated).
Kalen is very wise but... ridiculously bored, so he loves to play pranks or ask questionable things in turn for his boons.

I enjoy painting elves, and male anatomy in general, together with greenery and horns, this was a delightful piece to work on!

So, I found out my grandparents were friends with Gary Gygax back in the 70s and were originally apart of his first Greyhawk group. We still have all the original books and box sets that were made from the 70s and 80s.

I'm so excited to learn this. Wondering if anyone else knows any parents or grandparents who were apart of the original party.

Update: so, apparently, because I didn't give much else away to everyone like a crazy person, im doxxing myself and lying?

anyways, my grandparents were Nan and Michael Durant. Im not entirely sure of their original character names, as my grandfather has alzhimers. but I can try and pick my grandma's brain when I see her next.

hope that satisfies everyone for apparently assuming im bullshitting lol

Update 2: Please google ** michael and nan durant gary gygax ** and enjoy. I can also post photos of the books and such when I get a chance, as they are at my dads house.

... also, im a woman, for those of you who assume im a man, lmao. And yes, I meant 'a part of', not apart. Im a fast typer and sometimes forget spaces.

I've noticed that many people, when talking about long DnD campaigns, end up telling me they last 6-8 months. I have some DMs with whom we've run 2-3 campaigns of this length over the years (playing once a week). At the same time, my current campaign has been running for almost 2 years (we also meet once a week).

Have campaigns that last this long become an anomaly, an exception? Do current players and DMs prefer short campaigns to achieve greater results? Our DM is old school and, in fact, often tells us that back in the 3.5 days, he and his old group of friends ran a campaign that lasted 8 years.
