You pry open the heavy earthen door that has been keeping you from the tomb's inner-most sanctum. You are buffeted by a thick cloud of dust that is almost as bad as the stench of fresh corpses that rushes out to greet you. Wait, why would the corpses be fresh? Supposedly none have entered the tomb of the praetors in generations. A shadow moves, defend yourself!

Greetings adventurers! We are excited to announce that the /r/DnD mod team is looking to expand. Moderating a community as robust and complex as ours takes a lot of work, and requires a diversity of thought in its management. Do you think you're up to the task?

We are looking to fill several key gaps in our mod team. We are interested in users who can help with the regex that governs automod, users who can moderate outside of US time zones, users with experience identifying AI content, and users who can advocate for communities that are under-represented on /r/DnD. That being said, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES are encouraged to apply! We need mods who are willing to just do the monotonous busy work of moderating, which is most of the work.

Do you think you would be a good fit for our mod team? Apply today! If you have any questions please let us know in the comments.

2026 /r/DnD Mod Recruitment Form

The application will stay open for at least 1 week, though we may keep it open longer. After applications close we will work to review and reach out to those selected within a week, and then make a public announcement after onboarding.

With the final nothic slain, you are finally able to take in your surroundings. Piles of bodies, some of whom you recognize as the missing clergy, are in various states of decay. You doubt the bishop of Tyr is going to be willing to hand over that bonus now...

Hi everyone!
Our Dazzling Dungeon Decks are so close to being fully funded on kickstarter! So if you know anyone who might enjoy having over 300 tabletop rpg NPCs, creatures, and items on hand (I’m thinking maybe DMs with players who insist on knowing every npc’s name haha?), please share the link on and help us cross the line :D

Every npc comes with a little motivation, so if your players take a sharp turn down in a direction you didn’t expect (or if you’re a player who likes doing that to your DM haha), they work as great prompts for spontaneous side quests.

And to more easily find my ttrpg comics, feel free to check out r/TableTopComic or my LinkTree

This looked better in my head. I tried to trust the process with this one but I’m not too happy with how it turned out. Still wanted to share it though. It’s not really an official OC, I was mostly just experimenting with the design and having fun.

It’s not even finished too. Not sure if I’d ever finish it

Seris Vale is a tiefling warlock who works the edges of the arcane black market. She’s known for locating rare spellbooks, cursed relics, and magical items that most scholars would rather keep hidden. Seris isn’t openly violent, but she’s opportunistic and has few problems bending the law if it benefits her or her patron.

I always love when commissioners share their character’s lore, but it is also really fun when the lore is a mystery to me. It lets me explore different ways of interpreting the design and try to capture something that truly feels right for the character and the owner 000:
This is one of those times where the character’s name or where they might be from is a mystery to me. But it’s always really nice when I can pick up little details just from the design. it makes me feel creative 00:

This was commissioned by my friend who is also in the same campaign as me that had just ended recently. After over 3 years of DnD, my friend's character, Corryn finally gets an ending she deserves.

Short backstory of Corryn:

Her village was burned down by the Xanathar where she died and her sister abducted. In the moments of her death, an entity from the abyss known as Gris takes the opportunity to strike a deal with her. He will keep her alive long enough to seek revenge and save her sister. Of course, that pact comes with a few loopholes which we helped her get out of, save her sister and nephew, all the while saving Waterdeep from the Xanathar.

She now lives happily with her husband, Grayson in the Faewilds. My friend commissioned me to creat a painting of what they might've looked like in their wedding. :>

Hope you all enjoy just as much as I enjoyed painting this.

This sounds mean, but HEAR ME OUT. Also, typing this on mobile, so sorry for formatting.

TL;DR: a coworker was telling me about a character they want to play that planned on scolding any other player for typical DND stuff, so I decided I don't want to play DND with them at all.

I was talking with a coworker about DND, and they were talking about being interested. I've been a DM before and have been thinking of trying to form a campaign again, so I was like, "oh, yeah, tell me about what you're thinking!" I figured it would give me an idea in case I do a one shot to get back into DMing and decide to invite them as part of it.

So, they immediately go into a rant about playing a Christian holy character, and I was a little on the fence there, but I said that ok, that would depend on the DM, but I could find a way to squeeze that in.

They then proceed to talk about how they'd get huffy whenever the other players went into a tavern and go on about how good Christians shouldn't drink (which...okay then) and how they'd expect everyone to follow the rules of their God. They even had a rant ready for when another player "inevitably" told them to knock it off.

So, I never told them I plan to start a one shot, and like hell I'd invite them to play at my table. For starters, I like campaigns where there are multiple Gods conflicting each other (my last one was kind of a war between Gods in a way). Second, I'm atheist, and while I'm open to having a Christian player, they were planning on absolutely no other personality and dragging other players down with them.

I never told them that I was assessing if I should invite them to play with me, mind you! They had no idea that's what was going on.

Anyone have any similar stories? Or think I'm being too harsh about it? I know I wouldn't enjoy them at my table, and I doubt they'd enjoy playing said character in any story I can DM.

Half Divine Drow (SERELITH THALEN)

I have been working on one of my [OC] and I’m happy that it turned out pretty well my half divine drow named serelith the daughter of the drow goddess Eilistraee and a poor human bard who had an eventful encounter one night. Serelith grew up in poverty with her father and had to deal with prejudice around her but she was happy she had her fathers love and her music one day her father suddenly disappeared leaving nothing but a white feather now she sets out to find her missing father and help anyone who needs good music in there life. She is a Bard who worships her mother and has similar goals to freeing the drow from lolth, she loves to sing they even say her voice has healed many sick people. When she is emotional her eyes glow silver and her hair grows as long as her body the powers come possibly from her mother.

I am a new DM with a few new players for my first campaign. Although this is my first time playing, I have been listening to dnd podcasts for years now. I picked Doppleganger for their new encounter, but cant for my life figure out what (Recharge 6) means in the Unsettling Visage action. Does it mean it has 6 charges per day, or takes 6 turns to recharge, or something else? Thank you in advance.

Basically the title. What magic item have you come across via Wotc or one of the 3rd parties on DnD Beyond for example that you went "that's way too high" or more likely "way too low" rarity?

I picked 5.5e as I had to pick a tag but would love to hear about older editions too.
