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.

I have been playing for 8 years at conventions and stuff. Heard and seen a lot over the years.

I think the most incredulous thing I heard was a player say "DM, I want to make a dungeon and run it" and I said "yeah sure let me know when you’re ready and we'll make a day for it. What level were you thinking?"

And he said "oh, I meant I wanted to make one in-game. I'm a level 10 Wizard and I want to use my downtime to make a dungeon, and traps, and buy monsters, and watch the other players go through it."

I told him "I'm not gonna make a dungeon for your character where I build a one-shot for your Wizard and then let him pull all the levers behind the curtian. You are describing being a DM for a one-shot. If you want, we can make it in-universe, but it is something you are going to do, not me."

He never ran the dungeon.

Stopped playing with him a few months later lol.

This is Koko my latest derpy character this is an old concept that i developed 1 year ago after dealing with a lot of struggles i decided to gave him a rework and finally finish this , he is a merchant and also an albino Kobold .

i imagine him beign a potential party member trying always to sell something to one of his companion and bringing them cool items . he may look silly but he is very smart

Hello! Today I'm posting a NPC I made for my campaign! Eldreith here is a warforged made within a family of dwarves/tieflings, who uh, ended up with quite the demonic appearance herself over time as she tried to kind of tap into the devil heritage, re-building her body over the years for that purpose. It's kind of weird to explain without context but let's just say she's been through a lot (and dwarven lore in my campaign is kind of wacky)

She was actually made as an antagonist within one of the PC's backstories, but not exactly a... Villain, as the PC was probably far more morally questionable than her. It isn't all that clear whether she's actually alive or not, as the PC did try to murder her, but suffice to say, if she's alive that Oath of Vengeance is aimed towards the PC! Who may have killed her de-facto sibling! Fun times all around!

Well after my last post blew up over night (thank you so much for that?!)😭🫶🏻🫣

I decided to share where her main design came from!

This is from a custom dnd Conan exiles server I played her on a year or two ago! They had a lot of amazing mods, including a custom combat system for spells and special weapons for all the classes!

It was here that I learned about the Circle of Stars druid class, and changed her from a Life cleric/Druid multi-class, to a full class druid!

She originally was a multi-class of druid and a Life domain cleric, wanting to tap into the part of her backstory of being a follower of Dionysus. However, after character growth through a game or two (before trying the Conan server) it just felt like I was juggling too much trying to keep the “flare” of having a multi-classed character.

So I just simplified her now, and honestly circle of stars druid fits her SO well with the tie in to her following of Dionysus too! 🫶🏻

(There are more details obviously to see here, that were not on the previous art I shared, due to the artist simplifying her design a touch 😅)

To clarify from my last post:

~she is NOT packing (lmaoooo)😂
~the metal piece at her front lower was supposed to be a cute metal flower on her loincloth/belt thingy as you see here in these photos
~yes I named her after the movie because it carries a special place in my heart, and it’s fun to remind people of it when they hear her name 🫶🏻
~And yeah I see the resemblance to Faerne from Critical Role after looking her up, she’s so pretty and honestly kinda honored to be associated with her design! Haha 🥰🙏🏻

I made this drawing for a campaign I'm playing with my friends, and I'm having a lot of fun. His name is Klaus, he's a dhampir, and he uses his broken sword to cut his hand and activate his powers, He's a very sarcastic character and loves making jokes at the most inopportune times. He's chaotic/neutral, and his sword is an item he inherited from his family. Currently in the campaign, he's in a group with a few other adventurers, looking to understand more about his own race and hunt down a certain someone.

You can talk to me via DM If you're interested in making a drawing

I'm struggling to find a flair for my character's voice that I find appealing. Scottish is an easy accent for me, as are English, Irish, pretty much most UK and European accents. Despite that, none of them seem to fit so far.

I'm playing a fem Aarakocra Inquisitive Rogue with a penchant for being drunk in her free time. I feel like something UK could fit here maybe, but since I use those accents so often for my PCs already, I want to have something refreshing to bring to my table.

Any advice? The image is what she looked like while living amongst the druidic circle that raised her and her younger sibling. Her outfit has grown more streetwear and rogueish since then, but her physical appearance is otherwise roughly the same.

Lizran (Yeah I know, the names pretty on the nose) is my first ever character in a long term homebrew campaign. He's a pirate turned mercenary captain that works for a thieves guild in Waterdeep, who oppose Xanathar's guild. He's gone from a betrayed and discarded pirate crewmember to a captain of his own small fleet of 2 ships in the span of the campaign. It's an evil campaign so everyone has to have either neutral or evil alignment. One of my favorite aspects of Lizran is that my other friend, who plays a redcap in the campaign, hates my character on a personal level. Lizran is vain and cruel, but also cowardly and likes to bark orders from behind combat lines and use his trusty longbow, Umberlee's Caress, to keep others at bay. (It's a custom longbow with an effect similar to eldrich blast, that it pushes people away) He constantly lies to everyone he knows and always tries to wiggle as much profit from anyone as he can, while simultaneously spending money without reservation to spoil himself. We are going to hit a major milestone of 3 years passing while playing this campaign weekly and for that reason I asked a friend of mine to make a picture of him. It turned out amazing and I could not be more happy. Decided I also wanted to share it with the people on this sub, and so here I am. Here's hoping we can keep going strong with the campaign and maybe one day let our DM actually be a player instead.

Hello all! Doing another poorly drawn dnd oc sketch threads! I received an overwhelming amount of character entries on the last one that I thought I would start splitting up threads by classes/races to give people more of a fair chance of getting one!

This time the poorly drawn sketche thread is for Dwarven characters only so I can teach myself how to draw them !!

Post a short description or vibe of your dwarf oc below

Or

To post a pic, upload the pic to your reddit profile and simply paste a link to the photo in a comment.

You can support me on Ko-fi here! https://ko-fi.com/chikindraws#

I've opened up a slot on there for a couple bucks where you can guarantee yourself a sketch in case the thread becomes full again!

This is my long time dnd Character, Ferngully! She’s a circle of stars druid, and a devout follower of the Greek god Dionysus ^^

She’s originally based off of the Greek satyrs, Dionysus’s children and followers in Greek lore, rather than the traditional feywild satyrs from dnd cannon lore books. I’ve played her in two table top games, and online game, and then also through dnd inspired Conan exiles servers too! She’s got a long and rich history/story I’ve built up for her over the years, AND more art work included haha

Ferngully comes from a small village at the base of a mountain on Achea, a island seven hundred miles away from Faerun~ There, there are a lot of Greek inspired races and human cultures, given the influence from further up the mountain. It’s said if one can find the right path up it, one might find themselves in Olympus itself if they are so lucky 👀

Ferngully’s herd has always followed Dionysus and always throws parties and festivals in hopes they are lucky enough to entice him to join in the festivities~

Perhaps that’s why such an odd encounter with a mysterious man at a festival, eventually lead to Ferngully’s life changing forever…
