I work at a brewery and we have a rotating type of beer(West coast Pilsner) that is always named after a spell/skill from DnD. So I decided to carve an appropriate tap handle for it. I thought y'all might think it's cool. I'm not a big DnD guy(played and dropped out of a couple campaigns a decade ago) but I always enjoyed the concept, just never been in a position to fully commit to a campaign.

Also unfortunately I can only attach one picture at a time it seems

TL;DR: My long-running Phandelver campaign has evolved into a dragon cult storyline where players infiltrated a community of 100 followers worshipping Venomfang. A new player accidentally revealed that a veteran player sent a secret 3-page tactical email (deliberately excluding me, the DM) about how to defeat the dragon. Despite being mildly annoyed by the "DM vs. players" mentality, I'm amused by their immersion and touched that they're including the newbie in their planning. The new player was so excited about being part of the group that he accidentally spilled the beans, then begged the DM not to tell anyone he snitched.

Long version: I've been running a once-a-month campaign since 2022 mostly using the Lost Mines of Phandelver, though this year the party won the cave and have begun exploiting it while turning their attention to the growing Venomfang cult in Thundertree. They were aware of Venomfang, but never actually dealt with him, so I've developed his cult into a community of about 100 followers and turned the ruins into a partially rebuilt town based around the premise that the young dragon earns followers through wish-fulfillment--he literally gives you what you want in exchange for your loyalty, and is now seen by many to be a benevolent, godlike figure. In reality, while he does make some people's dreams come true, he is evil and his cult is clearly a threat to Phandalin.

The party have managed to infiltrate the community, pretending to be eager to join. They are thinking about placing glyphs of warding around the courtyard where he communes weekly with his flock and maybe poisoning the community so that by the time reinforcements from Phandelver arrive, the party have evened the odds against The Giving Worm and his fanatics.

I may one day post a little primer on my version of Thundertree in case anyone wants to use it, because I think it's pretty cool, but this post is actually about a new DnD player who recently joined.

He's completely new to the game, and his first session was last week. He made a 5th lvl fighter based on Jack Burton from Big Trouble in Little China, and he did a fantastic job fitting in.

This week, we have a phone call where we debrief on what happened and how collaborative storytelling in dnd works, and in the middle of explaining his thoughts about the game, he lets slip that one of the veteran players sent out a three-page email that I was not copied on about how the party should deal with the dragon. The guy who sent the email doesn't want me to know because he doesn't want me to prepare for their plans. The new player realized this right as he was telling me: "I haven't read it yet because it's pretty long , but he was talking about... oh, crap, I just remembered...I'm pretty sure he said I wasn't supposed to tell you."

On the one hand, I was a little annoyed because the veteran who sent the email has an oldschool mentality where he thinks the party and the dm are opposed to each other, and he should know that I don't really like out-of-game secrets, but on the other hand I thought this was pretty damn funny. So what if my players are so worried about this dragon cult that they think they have to keep me in the dark about their battle plans? I guess that means they are immersed!

But I am especially touched that they are including the new player and getting him up to speed about how to deal with a dragon. New player even admitted that he started telling me about the email because he was stoked that he is part of the group and they are making big plans. He was like, please don't tell them I snitched on the email!

I hope they come up with a really cool, convoluted plan and that it completely ruins the dragon's whole hippy compound aesthetic, and that the party walk away feeling like badasses with their new fighter friend.

Some time ago I saw a draw similar to this, and I've requested my good friend u/inkyc4t to do this beautiful art of my character. And it exceeded my expectatives too much...

Starlight is a cute wirl from Luskan, she studied on the arcane tower from very young, she was really excited by magic and tales of big wizards in history, she is such a fangirl of Tasha, Mordenkainen or Elminster, the walls of her room were painted with art of them. But during her studies on the Arcane Tower, she always was bullied due to not being as selfish as every other wizard which was studying there, after some years she met a guy which was finally nice to her, they talked for a while, and she even fall in love, but one day when she arrived to the class, she found him dead, killed by someone within the tower.

She tried to escape, but she met one Harper who was trying to investigate what happened as the guy she fell in love was also a Harper, they protected her for a while and told her that she needed to leave town, that it was not safe for her, so they sent her to Icewind Dale...

There she met a group and her new adventure started. She promised herself that if she wanted to be a famous wizard she would need to show the world that not every wizard turns out to be evil, selfish or greedy for power... She started being the most cheerfull person in the whole ten towns, always trying to see the good side of everything, helping everyone as much as she could.

The time passed and Icewind Dale is not a place for good hearts, so she was getting colder and colder as the months passed. Until one day trying to protect what she thought it was good she killed a cultist, that moment something broke within her and everything changed, she tried to convince her everyday that what she done and what she is doing is for a greater good, that everything would make sense someday.

Today, we are defending the ten towns against a dragon, her hands a already so much stained on blood of enemies they had, and so much innocent lives she is not able to protect, she is working for the Harpers as a secret agent and the brother of her best friend is a member of the Zentharim, so she is also living with the duality of duty or friendship, does she turns her friend? will she be a traitor to the people who saved her? or a traitor to the people who shared with the this whole adventure and risked their lives? Would she be able even to protect the ten towns?

Note: Obsiouly hair cut is part of any character development hahaha

Hopefully some of the people coming across this post remember Snotbelly, the corn dolls, and the fish from the last time I posted. I've genuinely been going insane bc of upcoming exams but apparently I had time to make a whole reference page.

For those who don't know, this is Snotbelly- my Bogborn Circle of Wicker druid- and her Salmon of Knowledge. I made her for a Crooked Moon campaign!

She's not the brightest. Or really anything at all, but that's okay because the salmon is there to whisper in her ear to make sure she doesn't eat a poison berry and die of dysentery.

Thank u for your time

TLDR: The fish is smarter than her.

A young, feral black dragon, approximately 8 feet in length is seen with a short sword in its mouth, and a (fake) ruby in its hands. It has 2 arms and 2 legs, 2 wings, a long tail and neck, and a head shaped like an alligator with thin, sharp horns. It has sharp black scales coating most of its body except for its underbelly.

Like any dragon, it has a compulsion to steal gold, jewelry, and valuable trinkets. It seems to have a liking for goblin flesh as it was reportedly picking its teeth with the bones of a goblin.

I run one-shots monthly at a game store where players earn gold from their guild at the end of each weekly session and they can spend said gold on various things.

The amount of gold increases monthly alongside the rarity of items they can buy. In December, they will earn 20,000 gp/session each week.

Most players at level 15 (where they’ll be in December) are expecting a proper BBEG that could possibly disintegrate one of them if they roll a saving throw poorly. Because of this, I want to give them a proper villain, the SIRS (Sigil Internal Revenue Service).

The idea is that none of their gold has been taxed yet, seeing as that would only happen if they chose to file their earnings as self-employed. That is, until the SIRS comes knocking to collect on all that taxable gold.

Has anyone presented their PCs with a similar issue/problem/threat? Were there certain mechanics you used? Did your PCs cough up the gold or not?

Thanks in advance!

After surviving an attack by cursed spirits as a child, Riven formed a pact with Aeshira, an ancient fox spirit who walks between the mortal world and the spirit realm. In exchange for her power, he became her hunter, tasked with tracking and destroying corrupted spirits before they can consume the living.

Using spectral foxfire and spirit-forged magic, Riven wanders from kingdom to kingdom cleansing haunted ruins, cursed forests, and possessed creatures. Calm, observant, and emotionally distant, he is feared by many yet quietly protects people from horrors they never realize exist.
