Art from the very talented natalie_corsair, my noble bastard swashbuckler, Andeth, has been so far my favorite character to have play as hands down. Was sold to a criminal organization by his step-father as a way to get rid of the "dishonor", eventually being paired with Nimalia, a Yuan-Ti pureblood that has been gaslit by said criminal organization into believing that only they would tolerate her "monstrous existence". Obviously, they were eventually proved very wrong. Art is depicting Andeth essentially giving Nimalia how he'd go about executing a honeypot trap if she was his target.

Im a concept artist and illustrator specialising in creature design
I have such a love for fantastical beasts, and was inspired by the classic OwlBear to design my own owl chimera!
Originally sculpted in Z Brush and rendered for a still concept image, I then thought why not 3D print my model and paint it!
I’ll share the render of it in this thread if that’s possible? Or I can share it in a seperate post.
I’d like to start designing and printing my own minis!
Let me know what you think 🥰
This actually had a broken tail and I thought it would be cool to actually add real feathers to it to elevate its look!

Art Commission - Dalreath, red dragonborn fighter, skilled and deadly swormaster and his companion, Ryuu, elf druid transforming herself into an owlbear! Both fighting for the Baldur’s Gate!
It s when you want to use references of video games that you see sometimes all the work and details in some armors and characters… was very hard for me to redo the armors of BG3… i tried the best i can. What a game and what a design!
Tell me what you think and if feel free to come talk in DM or in Insta (@krabyx).

I've noticed 'there's an issue and I want to leave, what should I do?' is kind of a theme here, so I wanted to share this recent (last night) experience because I think it was handled really well.

Last year a few of us, mostly in our 40s and 50s, decided we wanted to learn to play. We reached out through our local game store and were introduced to a guy I'll call N.

N DMd for us for about six months, playing for a few hours each fortnight. Great guy, really patient, we all like him and I think he likes us.

We took a hiatus for a few months but stayed in touch and agreed this year that we'd take turns DMing one-shots and short campaigns. This would let N have a go as a player, which was something he wanted, while other members of the group expanded into DMing. It also accommodated busy schedules so a couple more friends could join in when available.

But it just felt like it wasn't gelling. N's a great guy, but it always felt like there was a subtle personality mismatch between him and the rest of the table, and this became more noticeable when he was a player instead of DM. Again, he's a great guy and he didn't do anything *wrong*, something just didn't quite fit.

Last night after our game N sent me a private message (we also have a group chat but I act as a sort of admin for us all). He said he didn't feel like things were working for him, he wished us all the best, but he'd be stepping away from the table.

I thanked him for teaching us and encouraged him to stay in touch.

Shortly after, he sent an equally nice, if vaguer, message to the group chat before leaving the chat.

It seems like so often things end in drama. I'd like to think this way is the norm and we just don't talk about it. N, if you read this, I totally understand and you really are welcome back any time.

First off, the winner of last week's giveaway: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/1vi31tv

Congratulations, u/EliteGamer11388! 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 8/19 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 (now in hardcover!): 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!

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.

As a question to you all, what would you guys like to see next (note that I'll likely do all of these, just trying to figure out release order):

1. A tie-in novel. Humorous, somewhat similar to Pratchett in tone (already in progress).
2. An arcane forensic accounting manual (my master's is in forensic accounting).
3. A magical physiology textbook (I was obsessed with Physiology by Costanzo for the longest time).
4. An expanded edition of this book (1k+ pages, potentially leatherbound options and illustrations if I can Kickstart the latter).

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

This is a commissioned artwork of a Druid of Stars Tiefling I had the pleasure to work on! It's a very ambitious piece where I had to portray her as the focal point of the scene to stop the chaos and destruction around. Showing teamwork and mutual protection.💜

Using her powers to create a moonlight rainfall is a detail that I came up with along the process of this piece that fitted perfectly in the character I had to portray. I am more than happy with the final result after so much hours of work!

Hope you all enjoy to see this piece too.✨️

Hey everyone!

Here's one of the characters from our party from some time ago. An Aarakocra Kookaburra Rogue. Boi that's a mouthful.

I'm using our sessions to sketch out our party member's characters and also some events happening in them. DM doesn't love that, but hey, cool art!

This guy's a total menace, the guy who plays it made it so this guy sucks at stealth cause much like the bird it's based on, he's loud as shit, so he's a pretty sucky rogue, but makes it very fun throwing off the bad guys when he's about to attack (we're definitely the bad guys)

I'm always open for commissions, so if you want a piece, just hit me up via DM!

Hope you like this guy and here's much more to come!

Cheers!

I lost a character a while ago and jumped into the next by the next session. I’ve had him for several months now and while I get good feedback from the group I can’t stop wishing I was playing something else. I keep thinking if I took more than a week to think it through I would be a lot more satisfied with my character.

How often do you all take before starting with a new character? I know everyone’s different but I’m curious where folks land. Any and all insights are welcome.

Edit and yes I know I can talk to my DM they’re great I’m just grinding it out to see if something clicks first since I don’t have a next character nailed down
