IM TIRED OF FIGHTING GODS DM, LEMME HAVE A BEACH EPISODE.

Open letter to my DM (and others maybe, you'd know who you are.) We've been going from conflict to conflict for YEARS. I know the world is falling apart, but even epic level characters deserve to breathe now and again (especially through all the trauma you put us through!). So this is my attempt at manifesting said beach episode and time to unwind. Hope you enjoy Sigurn's summer wear!

Does it mean she is full-elf? /jk

In my last post I wasn't sure whether to open commissions or not, but I got so many encouraging comments, I decided to officially open commissions (yippie!)

I also wanted to post a DnD character I made for a friend: Sylvaine, an elf druid who carries a notebook everywhere she goes to write down details about every creature she encounters. I can always share more about her lore or ask my friend for more info if anyone is interested :)

Thank you for the support in my last post!

Hi everyone!

I already shared this on the COS subreddit, but I thought I'd share it here too in case somebody needs it.

This is my illustration and interpretation of Ireena Kolyana from Curse of Strahd.

I liked the idea of an Ireena rough around the edges given the environment she had to grow up in and the presence of Strahd in her life. During my campaign (which ended long ago), she developed into this improvised warrior very naturally, which gave her a little bit more depth and usefulness.

Anyway, forgive my ramble. I hope the illustration fits your campaign too!

You can download the illustration, VTT Token, and the token PSD for free over at my Patreon post

Cheers!

A couple of moths ago I joined a group of dnd

We were playing Curse of Strahd and one thing I noticed is how brutal the fights were

The campaign ended disastrously yesterday

Now, the other 3 players were all some degree of newcomers so unfortunately the group wasn’t playing as well as it could have, that being said, the campaign (and this was said by the dm himself) is probably better geared towards more experienced players (which makes me question why he didn’t lower the difficulty, especially since he said himself this was the first group to get this far but that’s a different discussion)

An added layer of difficulty was the critical 1 rule which the dm uses, as someone who dm’d myself I’m not a fan of it at all due to how it impacts martials and I only use it on non-boss npc’s to speed up less important fights (yes, a goblin will fumble horribly every once in a while but no way the legendary Sir Leon, the champion of Lathander will accidentaly drop his greatsword and have it hit his friend
Instead, and even worse the second is more likely)

I genuinely want to have fun, everything else was handled very well (roleplay, descriptions etc.) but the fights were just too stressful when combined with the nat 1 rule, when I tried bring up my opinion about the difficult fights the main answers from my DM were “that’s how they are in the manual” and “you probably played homebrew campaigns where dm’s can be more forgiving” (which to me feels like a weird response as the manual themselves say they should be use as guidelines) and especially now, with a new campaign in a month or so I feel like it’s a good time to share my opinion as it wouldn’t mean changing the rules mid-campaign

Dungeons & Dragons: The Tyrant's Eye is a 2025 Stern table. With every game you pick you character and deal with enemies like Sammaster the lich, Xanathar the beholder, and a bunch of others. The game also features callouts from a pretty huge voice cast for a pinball game, including Michael Dorn, Brendon Small, Matt Mercer, etc.

In this particular run I got a really quick dragon multi-ball and a massive town celebration jackpot, then proceeded to get basically every multiball I know of (gelatinous cube, the goblin portal one, a second dragon multiball) and completed a few different modes. I was a few hundred thousand from hitting the high scores on this particular machine, sadly. If you ever get a chance to play it it's a pretty good game, though some of the shots can be really frustrating.

This is my most recent piece but I'll be honest, I went with a more "random" approach for this one than many of my others. Not that I pre-plan them or anything (which I really should) but I generally go in with a core theme in mind. For this one I was really just aiming to work on variants, since I know a lot of people like that with their maps, and it's definitely a weak point of mine.

So this is just kind of what came to me. I tend to just "wing it" when I DM games and will sometimes just handwave in and out certain things rather than try to find a specific spell / item ect to make things happen. To that effect, I would likely have some kind of necromancy magic that is continuously animating regular skeletons from within the belly of that serpent.

The higher level the party, the better, and the more skeletons that could be summoned with each wave. As for the boss itself, something in the water might be cool. It's fairly easy to say that those pools are actually quite deep, and connect to each other via a network of underwater caves, so something like an Aboleth could be an exciting twist.

I feel like those are more often found deep within a cave / temple underwater, or way out in the sea. Fighting one with this much open terrain to navigate, as well as those waves and waves of skellies might make for a pretty awesome boss fight :)

How about you? What do you think you would run here?
