You pry open the heavy earthen door that has been keeping you from the tomb's inner-most sanctum. You are buffeted by a thick cloud of dust that is almost as bad as the stench of fresh corpses that rushes out to greet you. Wait, why would the corpses be fresh? Supposedly none have entered the tomb of the praetors in generations. A shadow moves, defend yourself!

Greetings adventurers! We are excited to announce that the /r/DnD mod team is looking to expand. Moderating a community as robust and complex as ours takes a lot of work, and requires a diversity of thought in its management. Do you think you're up to the task?

We are looking to fill several key gaps in our mod team. We are interested in users who can help with the regex that governs automod, users who can moderate outside of US time zones, users with experience identifying AI content, and users who can advocate for communities that are under-represented on /r/DnD. That being said, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES are encouraged to apply! We need mods who are willing to just do the monotonous busy work of moderating, which is most of the work.

Do you think you would be a good fit for our mod team? Apply today! If you have any questions please let us know in the comments.

2026 /r/DnD Mod Recruitment Form

The application will stay open for at least 1 week, though we may keep it open longer. After applications close we will work to review and reach out to those selected within a week, and then make a public announcement after onboarding.

With the final nothic slain, you are finally able to take in your surroundings. Piles of bodies, some of whom you recognize as the missing clergy, are in various states of decay. You doubt the bishop of Tyr is going to be willing to hand over that bonus now...

I always love when commissioners share their character’s lore, but it is also really fun when the lore is a mystery to me. It lets me explore different ways of interpreting the design and try to capture something that truly feels right for the character and the owner 000:
This is one of those times where the character’s name or where they might be from is a mystery to me. But it’s always really nice when I can pick up little details just from the design. it makes me feel creative 00:

This sounds mean, but HEAR ME OUT. Also, typing this on mobile, so sorry for formatting.

TL;DR: a coworker was telling me about a character they want to play that planned on scolding any other player for typical DND stuff, so I decided I don't want to play DND with them at all.

I was talking with a coworker about DND, and they were talking about being interested. I've been a DM before and have been thinking of trying to form a campaign again, so I was like, "oh, yeah, tell me about what you're thinking!" I figured it would give me an idea in case I do a one shot to get back into DMing and decide to invite them as part of it.

So, they immediately go into a rant about playing a Christian holy character, and I was a little on the fence there, but I said that ok, that would depend on the DM, but I could find a way to squeeze that in.

They then proceed to talk about how they'd get huffy whenever the other players went into a tavern and go on about how good Christians shouldn't drink (which...okay then) and how they'd expect everyone to follow the rules of their God. They even had a rant ready for when another player "inevitably" told them to knock it off.

So, I never told them I plan to start a one shot, and like hell I'd invite them to play at my table. For starters, I like campaigns where there are multiple Gods conflicting each other (my last one was kind of a war between Gods in a way). Second, I'm atheist, and while I'm open to having a Christian player, they were planning on absolutely no other personality and dragging other players down with them.

I never told them that I was assessing if I should invite them to play with me, mind you! They had no idea that's what was going on.

Anyone have any similar stories? Or think I'm being too harsh about it? I know I wouldn't enjoy them at my table, and I doubt they'd enjoy playing said character in any story I can DM.

Half Divine Drow (SERELITH THALEN)

I have been working on one of my [OC] and I’m happy that it turned out pretty well my half divine drow named serelith the daughter of the drow goddess Eilistraee and a poor human bard who had an eventful encounter one night. Serelith grew up in poverty with her father and had to deal with prejudice around her but she was happy she had her fathers love and her music one day her father suddenly disappeared leaving nothing but a white feather now she sets out to find her missing father and help anyone who needs good music in there life. She is a Bard who worships her mother and has similar goals to freeing the drow from lolth, she loves to sing they even say her voice has healed many sick people. When she is emotional her eyes glow silver and her hair grows as long as her body the powers come possibly from her mother.

Character owned by my client: stvn (discord)

Her name is Rennah Pasiphae and she’s a cleric of the moon goddess Sehanine. She isn’t not your typical preachy type Cleirc, as Sehanine is a very hands off-live your own life god and that’s exactly what she’s doing. She escaped from the Grove and is exploring the world for the first time.

She’s is SUPER curious and naive about the world. Like she would see a pine cone on the ground and eat it bc she legit has never seen one before

It’s been a while since I played D&D (3.5) but I thought wearing armor regardless of proficiency had a flat % chance of failing due to restricted movement which increased the heavier the armor. I was looking at the 5e rules and can’t find the rule anymore.

Thanks

I just created this character for a Fantasy World I'm building (Ravenzan World). It's going to be dark-themed with purple powers.

Name: Lylia Violet

Role: Ranger

In the dark lands of the Ravenzan World, few dare to hunt the creatures that lurk beyond the fog. She is one of them.

Once a nameless wanderer, She survived a forbidden ritual that etched a mysterious violet tattoo across his neck. Since that night, lightning answers his call.

Clad in a black cloak and violet armor, She moves silently through ruined forests and cursed valleys. His arrows are infused with arcane lightning, striking like sudden storms in the darkness. Some say the power he carries is a blessing. Others believe it is a curse slowly consuming him.

But one truth remains, When the purple storm appears in the night sky…

What kind of creatures do you think this ranger hunts in the Ravenzan World?

Illithids are creatures,most live in colonys like ants with the Elder brain (dragon or not) being the Master mind controling every single mind flayer and mind witness in a range of at least 5 miles. Mind flayers lay eggs to create tadpoles,the tadpoles are parasites and their final form depends on their host or the lack of it.

Elder brain dragon: multiple tadpoles infect a dragon because their bodys are too big for one tadpole to control, the tadpoles then fuse and atatch into the dragons brain to make it eat as much as possible for the metamorphosys and after 100 years of sleep the dragon is fully mutated into an elder brain dragon.

Neothelid: tadpoles without a host who ate too much and somehow survived are used as mounts and trash cans.

Mind witness: beholders infected by tadpoles are used by the elder brains to expand the range of their mind control, if they got too far from the elder brain they seek for someone to help and be their new lord.

Elder brain: old mind flayers unit their bodies into one gigantic mass with multiple tadpoles and mind witnesses to make a new colony. Elder brains (dragon or not) sty in a huge pool of nutricious fluids with the eggs they lay and their tadpoles.

Illithids are dangerous but bastard mind flayers who are disconected from their elder brain can be formidable allys or simple citizens who will more than likely sell their cervices for brains of smart people or simple livestock.
