 [OC] GIVEAWAY! One lucky Redditor will win a free signed hardcover copy of the Magical Code of Regulations, a digital copy, an authorized spellcaster license, some stickers and a bookmark, and a letter stating that you ARE, in fact, in compliance!

First off, the winner of last week's giveaway: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/1vo9hyk

Congratulations, u/lennyt99! I've reached out to you to get the necessary information to fulfill this giveaway.

A little while ago, I came out with the Magical Code of Regulations, 500 pages of law governing the use of magic. It started as a fun little project while I was working as an auditor at the IRS, and turned into a whole worldbuilding project I don't think I'll ever truly stop. It has laws governing everything ranging from necromancy, magical conservation easements, and familiars, to dragons, fireballs, and Chosen Ones. Great for D&D players and DMs, lawyers, accountants, worldbuilders, fantasy writers, and people that just want a really cool coffee table book. I promise it is the most in-depth magical law you've ever read.

Here's what some people have had to say about it:

"An unnecessarily comprehensive and deeply inconvenient framework. Several of my longstanding plans now require prior authorization." -Glorgon the Destroyer, Antagonistic Entity of Prophetic Significance #33

"Clear, thorough, and appropriately burdensome. I have no notes, though I will be requesting additional documentation." -Arthur B. Wexler, Senior Auditor, Department of Magical Affairs

Since release, I've made over 4,000 sales, this book is #1 on IngramSpark in fantasy over the last 60 days (for you booksellers looking for a cool book for your store), and will even have an officially licensed Chinese edition on the way (more details to come later)!

As a way to give back a bit, I will be giving away one signed copy of my book with a free digital version, a customizable authorized spellcaster license, a few stickers and a bookmark, and a no-change audit letter. All you have to do to enter is comment below! The winner will be selected randomly on 8/28 using redditraffler, with only caveat being that your account must be at least 3 months old.

I appreciate all the support I've gotten from this community and others over the past couple of years, and if you'd like to support this project independent of this giveaway, you can find the Code at the following links:

Amazon (preferred): https://www.amazon.com/Magical-Code-Regulations-Spellcasting-Regulation/dp/B0GZF9PVQL/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0

NOTE: If the shipping seems extremely expensive, you may need to go to your country's storefront. If you live in the EU and your country doesn't have one, Germany (amazon.de) is usually best. I'll try my best to find options for anyone that has trouble getting it!

DriveThruRPG (where I will soon be hosting other legal doc bundles and the forms themselves from the MCOR): https://www.drivethrurpg.com//product/566282/the-magical-code-of-regulations?affiliate_id=5121378

If you're still not convinced, and wanted a sneak-peek, Questing Beast made a great video on it!

https://youtu.be/ffP-xvpRS5Q?is=YXo5uFPHC4cDXeTo

If you're still not convinced, know that the second edition will make ownership of the MCOR compulsory, so you might as well give in now.

Anyways, good luck everyone, and can't wait to see who the winners are!

 This is REALLY annoying, player always booking over sessions
Posted: 2026-08-21T12:20:01+00:00
Author: /u/FindingSpecial1220https://www.reddit.com/user/FindingSpecial1220

So recently I started a long term dnd campaign, and it is already going to poo. Session One was a short one in the afternoon and everyone was free, we had a great time, I introduced the world, the characters and it was going really well, until one of the players comes to me and say he needs to leave, he organised something else, and needed to go to it, I was a tad annoyed but couldn’t so much about it.

After this I wanted to do something big for session 2 and so did everyone else so I organised a sleepover for a big session 2, 3 MONTHS IN ADVANCE. Everyone agreed and it was going to be great.

Then, one day before, right now, after world building, integrating backstories, and planning for a monster of a session, that same player says he will need to leave the as soon as we wake up, missing more than half of it, he organised something else.

And now I am really annoyed, the group is small and we only rarely can meet up, and it’s inly session 2. I am really good friend with them, and they are probably the most mature and best DND player keeping the rest of them in check, this is just really annoying.

What should I do? Is there anything I can do?

 [OC] How i assemble my Paper Skeleton with magnets
Posted: 2026-08-21T12:43:10+00:00
Author: /u/ThePaperMagehttps://www.reddit.com/user/ThePaperMage

Sometimes when i feel fancy i like to put some magnets in my minis, just so i can customize it or take of body part!!

Paper and magnets works pretty well ^^ For skeletons its been a pretty fun idea, just to have pieces fall when there is a hit. I also put a magnet in the giant sword, to take it on and off.

Its definitively silly but at the end of the day its fun and the kid enjoy it too!

Next up im working on a new cave tiles set and hope to make many new minis!!

Enjoy! oh and with sounds its fun ^^

 [OC][Art][COMM] Tiefling Ranger
Posted: 2026-08-21T13:26:54+00:00
Author: /u/amare310https://www.reddit.com/user/amare310

A Tiefling Ranger specializing in precision, stealth, and deadly ranged attacks. Her infernal heritage gives her a striking appearance, while her training as a ranger has made her a patient and relentless hunter. Armed with a bow and enchanted crimson arrows, she strikes from a distance before her enemies even realize they’ve been targeted. She travels through forests, ruins, and forgotten paths, tracking monsters and dangerous foes wherever they hide. To her, the hunt is more than a profession it’s a discipline built on patience, instinct, and precision.

If you like my work and would like a commission, you can dm me here:)

 Can you see an invisible person underwater?
Posted: 2026-08-21T02:51:11+00:00
Author: /u/Old-Rule-4101https://www.reddit.com/user/Old-Rule-4101

I am a DM, and in my homebrew game this question has come up more than once. In RAW PHB14, I think the line, "The creature's location can be detected by any noise it makes or any tracks it leaves," means that you would be able to see a person underwater, you could see the outline of their body, this makes sense in RAW as the creature is touching all parts of the water.

The party seems to be split on whether or not you would be able to see anyone or anything invisible underwater, they bring up terms like refractive index etc etc. I was wondering whether any of you have come across as situation like this? and your thoughts on how I should rule this going forward, thanks.

 Being a centaur with another party member mounted.
Posted: 2026-08-21T14:34:07+00:00
Author: /u/TTRPGsandRPDshttps://www.reddit.com/user/TTRPGsandRPDs

A friend of mine is going to run a 5e campaign using the 2014 rules. Another friend and I have decided that I will be a centaur, and he will be an elf that rides the centaur into battle. We are looking for some fun/interesting combos for this. Right now we are looking at using a swashbuckler rouge for me for extra movement and not letting enemies get attacks of opportunity, and him using the cavalier fighter. What other combos should we consider?

Edit: Yes, DM is cool with it. Yes we are aware of the restriction of “mount must be at-least one size larger”. DM green light it due to centaur counting as a large creature for carry capacity.

 Players don't like doing backstories
Posted: 2026-08-21T09:10:14+00:00
Author: /u/FlowerSweaty7457https://www.reddit.com/user/FlowerSweaty7457

Fellow dms how do you deal with players not wanting to put in any effort?

I'm getting ready to run my second ever campaign, and have 2 new players joining us. We're all excited BUT the new players refuse to do more then a small sentence for the back story, arguing what's the point if they're back story doesn't come up. As a dm and writer I do not get that line of thinking. Backstory brings your character alive it tells how they came to be, and how they see and deal with the world. I'm already having to build the world story, maps, events/encounters, help them make they're characters and level them up for them. (Plus do most of the EP as the 2 new players never talk in character just say that they nod)

How do I get them just to put work in for they're character?

EDIT they are new to the group not dnd. The backstory one gave was "they don't like people" And I was planning to tie their backstory in to help them rp

Thank you for the people who Gabe helpful advice, I'll give them all a go and see what the 2 players would like to do
