This wonderful quote came from the youth club game that I run on a Tuesday evening.

This was from the party cleric just after he skewered cooked and ate the tiny screaming myconids for his breakfast.

It tickled me so I thought I would share it.

Nice little article from CBC in Canada.

First off, I'll state I LOVE playing Echo Knight. Its by far my favorite class.

Not because its particularly powerful in combat compared to others (despite what people like to complain). In fact, its a rather one-trick pony without the support from OTHER classes. Even if that one trick can be used in a lot of creative ways.

Na, what I love about it, is the Echo Knight is possibly the most versatile and unstoppable infiltration and scouting class there is.

Since Manifest Echo isn't a spell (or even a traditional magical effect), and the Echo itself is an object, most typical defensive measures don't actually work against it, be they magical shield, alarm spell, or other such things. The echo can be manifested anywhere you can see as well. As long as you can physically see a location, you can get there.

This makes the Echo Knight one of the hardest classes to both pin down, and keep out.

I've climbed heavily guarded castles by teleporting from windowsill to windowsill, broken past mage's shields by setting an echo right next to them, and mounted a dragon by dropping onto its back while it was distracted.

Coming up on a campaign I'm running though, one of the players who's seen what I've done with it, has decided they want to give it a shot, and I'm a bit scared, ahahahaha!

What are some decent counters to Echo Knight shenanigans that aren't obviously hard counters because "screw you, that's why." Things like making the important location just a solid block without any openings but the front door. etc etc

That kind of play isn't fun for anyone.

Got to work on this amazing character art for u/GiraLucem

Xasardo Dulin Zanni, a barbarian of the world tree path, reflavoring the spectral world tree as cursed amethysts that grow upon his face and hand. An unarmed and prideful man, eager to get his hands bloodied as long as it allows him to remain amongst the group he travels with. His goals are hidden to his allies but related to his curse,
Despite the cruelty within a fight, outside of it he is a calm and kind man, often found near fire as he cooks up a meal or snack for his brethren and within his bags are brews of his own making, often enough to knock out even the most resolute of stomach.

I’m also available for commission so please do not hesitate to reach out!

Art Commission - A mage that went too deep into dark knowledge but to achieve greatness the cost has to be heavy! Power comes at a price… Marcus Varro is the representation of this concept. Knowledge can be a curse and drive you to madness. His seals and parchments burn as long as his sanity goes away.

For this character, I had the opportunity to get close and really get inspired by a psyker from warhammer. I tried to recreate the color of the magic of W40k and I'm happy with the result, but I have to be better with working with light colors.

Tell me what you think and if feel free to come talk in DM or in Insta (@krabyx).

Last night, my players and I closed out our long-running campaign. Sessions 1-4/levels 1-2 led into and sessions 5-65/levels 3-12 were a part of the module *Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep*. Sessions 66-139/levels 13-20 were a part of a story of my own design.

We know what your character would be willing to kill for, it happens all the time.

But what would they die for?

You are in the business of creating an amazing collaborative story. The only thing more amazing than a happily ever after, is a dramatic death scene.

This can be arranged. Your character has history, values, and goals. Use them. Use their trauma.

Would they kidnap and kill a powerful nobleman, knowing it would result in their own death and execution, if they knew he was the one who burned down their village during the last war? Is vengeance worth it?

Would they destroy a magic item that keeps themselves alive, if it meant creating an explosion that would seal a gate to the bottom of the Abyss?

Would they die to protect a child? Would they leap in front of a cowering orphan as a vampire lord draws near, saying "the moment he sinks his teeth into me, run, RUN until the sun rises!"

The story might not yet be over, but you can often choose where your character begins and ends their time in it.

Think Gandalf with the Balrog, or Boromir protecting the hobbits. Those moments were epic because they showed true heroism. Success or failure wasn't as important as their willingness to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. (for the record, Gandalf didn't know he would come back, and maybe your character could have a similar transformation arc!)

Also its fun stunning your fellow players into silence.

So today I reached Nirvana.

I bought my godkids the Stanger Things DND Box set and today they came over and we played.

But this is not the good part. You see, I have a Fighter and Wizard and kinda needed a third player and a healer too.

SO I approached my bride of 32 years and asked her to play.

After 32 years of marriage I finally got my wife to play DND!!!

and the best part... she said she had fun

please excuse me, but it doesnt bet much better than this!

Once the spell slot progression ends and we move to the once a day higher level spells, the get everything back every short rest fantasy of a warlock kinda dies.

At which point it feels more relevant to multiclass so i can have additional spell slots to actually be allowed to cast hex or weapon masteries so my summoned weapons are more badass.

Edit: Sorry I should've mentioned, I'm mostly focusing on the Pact of the Blade progression. Since it's relevant. Eldritch blast warlocks get more beams at higher levels but after level 12 the blade number of attacks no longer go up.

Edit Edit: Yes I get that the level 12+ spells and eldritch blasts are strong. That's kind of the issue though. To feel like my pact of the blade is actually progressing in a way that can keep up, I feel like I'm pushed to multiclass. Since the class itself provides very little to make it better after level 12. And dips in other classes do a lot more readily.

Hi everyone!

To celebrate the release of my newest 5E/5.5E book, Kobolds & Kobolds: The Ultimate Kobold Handbook, I wanted to give a few copies away here on r/DnD!

I’ll be giving away one physical copy of the book, including the digital edition, plus five additional digital copies through DriveThruRPG, for a total of 6 winners.

The physical copy is available to entrants in Europe, North America, and Australia, and I’ll cover the shipping costs.

Kobolds & Kobolds is a complete toolkit for bringing kobold warrens, warbands, and dragon-worshipping clans to life. I wanted kobolds to feel like more than interchangeable low-level enemies, so the book includes a large variety of creatures and optional abilities, along with distinct kobold clans, warrens, traps, lair actions, encounter ideas, adventure hooks, magic items, VTT tokens, and art handouts.

Inside you’ll find beastmasters, warriors, inventors, mystics, mounted combatants, tribal leaders, and many other kobold variants. The different clans also come with their own cultures, tactics, favored creatures, special abilities, traditions, and relationships with dragons.

Whether you need a single memorable kobold encounter, an entire underground warren, or a recurring clan to challenge your adventurers, the idea is to give you enough material to make kobolds feel different from encounter to encounter while still keeping everything that makes them kobolds.

How to Enter

Just leave a comment on this post.

Any comment from an account that is at least 3 months old counts as an entry. One entry per account, and no purchase is necessary.

I’ll use RedditRaffler to randomly select the winners when the giveaway closes on September 11, 2026 at 4:00 PM CEST / 7:00 AM PDT, and I’ll edit this post afterward with the public results.

The first winner drawn who is eligible for physical shipping will receive the physical copy + digital edition. The other five winners will receive digital copies through DriveThruRPG.

If a winner drawn for the physical copy is outside Europe, North America, or Australia, they’ll still be eligible for one of the digital copies, and I’ll continue drawing until an eligible physical-copy winner is selected.

You can check out Kobolds & Kobolds on DriveThruRPG if you’d like to see exactly what’s included. I’ve also posted a longer preview with additional pages and details over at r/JonnyDM.

Good luck, and thank you to everyone who has supported my work!
