* If you are new to the subreddit, **please check the Subreddit Wiki**, especially the Resource Guides section, the FAQ, and the Glossary of Terms. Many newcomers to the game and to r/DnD can find answers there. Note that these links may not work on mobile apps, so you may need to briefly browse the subreddit directly through Reddit.com.

​

The purpose of this thread is for artists to share their work with the intent of finding clients, and for other members of the community to find and commission artists for custom artwork.

Our DND group has been playing together for the last six months. Long story short, one of our players tries to sleep with a lot of the NPCs she encounters. Our DM was fine with this at first, but it's getting a bit excessive, and he is very uncomfortable. This player also insists on sitting directly across from the DM while she tries to make him describe sexual acts, to which he declines. I don't know what to do because I don't think it is my place to talk to her for our DM, but he has been telling me a lot about how uncomfortable this player makes him.

Anything that is not another generic tavern please...

Thay as a setting was once a lush, immense and varied country. From 4th edition was reduced to a stereotypical barren wasteland where everything is undead. From a vibrant multicultural society full of mystery, to "Lich and skeletons only".

The Maztica setting based on the unconquered americas seems to be completely abandoned and unsupported after 3rd edition. There was a pantheon, there were classes such as Eagle Knights and Jaguar Knights. There was unique spellcasters and spells. All those abandoned. We can play stereotyped European paladins which don't even fit mechanically (wearing heavy, steel armor etc)

Osse, a land based on aboriginal Australia. Completely abandoned as well, haven't seen new content since 2007. With the extreme volume of content produced (even stuff like MTG conversion guides), I find that truly disheartening.

What I have seen in stuff as Thay only they become "planet of hats" but absurd rules such as "this place is ruled ABSOLUTELY by [POWERFUL MAGICAL ENTITY]", to absurd degrees such as that Red Wizards are now said to be above the law in all respects and even the lowliest of them can kill city-state rulers without consequence.

Even stuff in the main campaign setting, not only faraway lands, suffers from this...

Skullport is originally conceived and published as a city ruled by competing crime syndicates and trafficker guilds. That was key to say law enforcement was rare, lax and partial, and gave a dark edge. Justice was a man's interest and their buddies. Then it was invented that there Skullport really the tyrannical police state of some immortal godlike floating skulls, and everyone is afraid if being observed at any time and put on trial by these allmighty beings. This is rather more like "divine justice" and takes away from the cultural element. And even later the whole city was reinvented as Xanathar-land where everything is Xanathar (I guess having more than one nominal divine ruler wasn't simplified enough?)

And many others, too many to list. [actually I had more to say but I forgot, I'm old like that ;) ]

Most players and DMs will not be aware of the older, more "realistic" settings since they are really old (90's, early 90's in some cases), and they are not in newer editions, which I find a sad fact.

Image is my interpretation of Kara-tur, another of the suffering settings, with no content since 1990.

PS: Yes I'm aware some of these still had bad orientalism tropes. I think the correct thing is revise it, in no way it seems to me "everyone is zombies and liches" or "doesn't exist and you can't play it, be European or out" is less racist than trying to develop it. Also that doesn't explain Skullport and others.

Being a fairly new DM who is aiming to publish my own module, making subclasses is something I'm practicing nearly every day. I've made some pretty broken (in both ways) subclasses, which were rightfully dogged on in the subreddits! What are some of the most ridiculously bad homebrew subclasses you've encountered as a dm, or player?

Gahhop are spry, horned Humanoids of the Frontier, resembling jackalopes. They are often drifters, going from town to town as they please. Folk welcome this, with many believing a Gahhop visit is good luck.

Bards of the College of Card Sharp channel the Words of Creation through the cards they draw and the flourishes with which they play them. From these bards, a card trick can be as magical as any song or dance.

This is a preview of two of the 20+ Species and Subclasses that will be included in High Moon: A Gothic Western Sourcebook for D&D 5.5e. Check out the BackerKit Page if you want to see more!

My girlfriend’s dad gave me all of his 90’s DnD stuff. The Campaign box set has battle maps, posters, character art for the NPCs with their character sheets on the back, side quest books and a lot more. The Master Mage sets have all the pieces in the original plastic. He said he hopes I get some good use out of them, safe to say I’m a part of the family now. By far the coolest gift I’ve ever gotten.

The bagboy is here to offer you a variety of "magic" "treasures"!

The craziest thing about creating an RPG bestiary is working with an artist and just being like "yeah, so it's like a weird guy who lives in the dimensional space of a Bag of Holding, who sometimes emerges from the bag to sell you junk" and getting hit with the exact image that was in your brain.

Visual artists are incredible, and AI could literally never.

Speaking of which, Dakota Curry (https://www.dakotacurry.com) is behind this lil guy.

This creature's stats (and many more!), are available for 5e/5.5 in the upcoming Game Master's Menagerie of Monsters! - https://linktr.ee/GMMoM

I've been working on this bestiary for a hot minute, and the fact that an actual publisher let me just create a ton of weird little guys to slap into a book of critters is a dream come true.

Hello everyone! Zozoqui here, Zozo, for the friends. Since i started playing D&D 5e a few months ago i got obsessed with the Dragons of D&D. I remember when i first saw the Chromatic and Metallic Dragons on the Monster Manual and they had this amazing and unique designs made by Alexander Ostrowski and inmediately got amazed by them

Then i saw the dragonborns and my brain instantly shut at me "i can be like one of this cool af Dragons" so i investigated about them and i got really upset when i read that Dragonborns have a more uniform apareance because of interbreeding. I was really really upset about it UNTIL i had an idea! Making a Pure Blood Dragonborn design! It can totally happen in theory, right? And even if not, what is stoping me of doing it?

So here it is the first of probably 10 Dragonborn Designs based on the amazing art of Ostrowski: The Black Dragonborn! I don't think it needs new stats or traits, it'll probably be just a cosmetic choice, but feel free on commenting your opinions!
