Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

To paint a picture, the (3rd level) party broke into a mage academy to retrieve an artifact. When they got it, they got attacked by guards and a monster, who burst through a window. They managed to kill the monster and persuade the guards to let them be.

So all that's left is to leave. Easy, right?

The cleric player jumps out of the broken window. Artificer throws him his mobile cannon, but the cleric fortunately passes the check to catch it. Then, the artificer climbs down using a rope. Time for barbarian. She takes the body of the monster and uses it as a pillow to lower the fall damage, still gets some hp taken. Only one player, sorcerer-warlock is left in the room. He exits through the main entrance to the academy.

Curious as to what people consider to be incredibly edgy, lazy and uninteresting for a backstory trope.

For me it would have to be “Village was destroyed and I am the only survivor so I set out for revenge”, it becomes especially bad when the character’s personality revolves exclusively around being a lone wolf who will not shut up about how they want revenge.

I wanna hear some more!

The show will be written by John August and produced by Academy Award-winning director Alfonso Cuarón. The show also appears to be feeding on the corpse of Shawn Levy's Forgotten Realms TV series, which Netflix confirmed is no longer in development.

So I've been playing with a group for nearly three years now, and I'm encountering an interesting roleplaying challenge: almost nobody is left of the original party that set out on an adventure together.

Most of this isn't because of players leaving. We've had two instances of that, but mostly it's just people wanting to change characters. We were originally a party of five, soon after a party of six in Session Three, and only my character and that sixth member's character are still there.

Our mission remains the same, but the people on it have been shifting in and out. And with one of the two recent departures being my character's love interest, it's starting to occur to me just how much this should really be impacting him. The trouble is I don't quite know how specifically it should be affecting him, just that it should definitely be affecting him a lot.

So, a few weeks ago I made this post where I illustrated how I sold seven years of my elven druid PCs life to a pixie in exchange for a pretty leaf crown, and I had you guys come up with different interpretations of what this deal could mean.

Now, after our latest session, I wanted to give an update, with what my DM went with:
After our party had finally cleared the dungeon and was ready to leave, my character got left behind, being teleported back into the feywild, where the pixie told me my seven year long (presumably unpaid) shift at her item store was about to begin.

My character, of course, wasnt very happy with this, since our game world is about to be overtaken by some sealed away Warmonger God (typical DnD stuff) very soon, so I can't just take seven years off like that. The pixie, suprisingly, understanding this, offered me to just give the crown back and leave it at that.

In hindsight, I should have probably taken that offer, but at that point I was really unsure if my DM wanted to test me if I had the guts/bargaining power to keep the crown. So after a lot of haggeling, me and the pixie came to a contract: My PC was allowed to leave, and every second from now on will be added times three to my debt. So, if the campains ends in 5 ingame months, I now have to work at the store for 7 years + 5x3=15 months.

Before you think I'm an idiot: Despite the campain already running for several years, only a few months have actually passed ingame, so I doubt this will run out of hand. Especially since there isn't really the time for a time skip. But I could of course end up being wrong and heavily regret this, but hey, thats fey for ya!

Oh yeah and the leaf crown turned out to do absolutely nothing, other than being able to unlock the last missing ring of this homebrew magic ring set later in the campagn. So yeah, totally worth it!

For example let's say you could just change a Wizard so instead of using Int for your DC and spell attack you could use Wis instead, so a monk/wizard build wouldn't be so MAD.

Or make a Ranger use Cha so a dip into Warlock would work easily!

Or maybe you just wanted a really charismatic cleric and just had Cha as your stat with no multiclass!

What sort of shenanigans could you get into if a table had this rule? 😄

(Please note, this is just for fun.)

"The way was not clear in the swamp, as other things one hope to never cross the path with".

Fellow adventurers: here another piece I recently worked on!

I wanted to draw a swamp-like place, where the ruins of the past silently lie and all hope of life is gone. But while going on, I felt something was a little off, because it felt empty, so here came the idea: what if a spirit, who still has not found peace on mortal lands, cross the path with this lonely and mysterious traveller? End of the story, now this drawing has something to tell! Hope you'll enjoy it, stay tuned for more.

Also, last but not last, I am open for commissions and projects, just DM or email me!

I'm playing a 5th level Ranger with the Laserllama Alternative ranger, our GM has been explicit that he doesn't care much about powerbuilding or anything like that and in fact, encourages us to make our characters as bullshit busted as possible.

I've got a basic longsword and longbow with the versatile weapon fighting style, looking for an item that brings either more to my combat capability by buffing my longbow/ranged fighting a little. I'm also a Beastmaster with a Dire wolf companion so something that could make RP with her a bit more interesting might be fun, or something with just neat/unique application. Decision paralysis has made making the choice on my own a little challenging and would like to hear what you'd pick in my shoes.
