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.

So I dressed up as shadowheart for a convention!

Still sort of new to the fandom, i’ve heard about this game for a while and did my research on the lore (I always have to know more about a franchise before engaging with it’s base and the game/show itself). My friends who’ve played the game say i embody her in a way personality wise so i gave it a go. I do other cosplays if this one interests you, they can be found in my bio. I hope i did the elf princess some justice 🖤

edit: tysm for the positive feedback everyone, trying to get back into the cosplay game and this has been quite the experience. i feel very welcomed here <3

Hello hello! Recently I’ve taken to making a DM screen that looks like where most campaigns start out. Initially it was just some pieces of cardboard I'd taped together and painted black, but after some paint, sticks and mod podge, I've got it looking like this. I did it in anticipation for an upcoming one-shot of Wild Sheep Chase, which will likely be starting out in a tavern. Now that I've got this, I'll be more motivated to do more campaigns.

It’s got an attachable dice tower on the right, and dice storage to the left. What do you guys think?

So, I recently just left a table where this occurred. The rogue stole an object from another player for the purpose of releasing a spirit that the majority of the party didn't want released. The DM didn't let us stop him in any way and rolls after the fact failed. The spirit then rewarded the rogue and another player with approximately 8k in gold while the rest of the party got nothing.

I felt frustrated and voiced how there is no reason for us to trust the rogue anymore or have him in the party if he's just going to steal from us. The response I got back from the rogue's friend, "He's a rogue, that's what they do." Eventually, I decided to leave the group over this and was effectively called a child by the rogue's friend.

Is there a way to have handled this dispute? Is it really okay for a Rogue to steal from their own party?

One of the biggest hurdles for 3D VTTs is the time it takes to actually build a nice-looking map. I wanted to fix that.

With the new Steam Workshop integration in Game Master Engine, you don't have to build anything if you don't want to. You can just:

1. Browse the in-game library for whatever you need (Tavern, Dungeon, Forest).
2. One-Click Download to add it to your own library instantly.
3. Populate & Play by dropping minis and rolling 3D‏‏‎ ‎dice.

It’s all about‏‏‎ ‎getting‏‏‎ ‎to the‏‏‎ ‎"playing"‏‏‎ ‎part of D&D faster. You can also upload your own creations to share with the rest of the community!

I've been a dev on this for 6 years, and seeing‏‏‎ ‎what people‏‏‎ ‎are‏‏‎ ‎already building in the Workshop is honestly the coolest part of the project so far.

Steam Early Access (60% Off): https://store.steampowered.com/app/1451680/Game_Master_Engine/

I'll‏‏‎ ‎be‏‏‎ ‎around all day to answer questions about the engine or how the Workshop works!

Commission i did of Barry the half-drow Fighter/Warlock. I was told he has a guilty Catholic vibe, is a coward, and looks good beaten up so thats what i did!
I referenced some photos of Jesus for the pose and had a lot of fun with the lighting! This is a scene from their campaign im told.
The character belongs to Worm_soup on instagram:)

It took a while to complete but im happy with it and the customer is happy!
You can find my commission info in the comments !
Enjoy!!

Recently, I have been putting a new in person group together for me to DM and I’ve been searching for players via online communities. And after just three or four days I’ve had dozens of players inquire to join my group. And it’s reminded me of the biggest problem facing this hobby in 2026. The shortage of DM’s.

I always see a version of this FB post: “ Hi, I’ve managed to put together a group consisting of myself and four friends ready to play now we’re just desperately searching for a DM”

Same with local game store, “calling all local DM’s in the area: we’ve got plenty of players, we’re just desperate for dungeon masters, please reach out if that’s you”

I was talking to a young family friend of mine who had a group of 4 friends and he was explaining to me how their group hadn’t started yet because they hadn’t found a DM. They had the essentials kit, they had the gear, they just didn’t have a DM. No matter how much I encouraged him to step up and give it a go, it just didn’t click.

He then went to a FLGS and there were about 12 other kids wanting to be players and the adult organizer decided to DM for all 12 kids in one game. it was a disaster, of course, but they still continue to this day. The Penny hasn’t dropped.

Things like the essentials kit and the starter set are products specifically designed for people new to the hobby to pick up and learn. That’s what all DM’s have had to do.

Hello, just coming on to share some of my art here, this is my character Nazuri, he's a halfelf rogue who does any job for cash to fuel his terrible lifestyle, he's a bit complicated but loveable, never to be trusted though. He's constantly on the verge of a redemption arc but never quite reaches it.

He's talented with his hands much to everyone else's dismay, and is constantly on the run from guards, ex lovers, towns people, most anyone he comes into contact with.

I'm an artist who shares mostly on insta @twatisharts if you are curious :) I take commissions !

Edit: His name is NAZURI, NAZ for short. Sorry for putting a exclamation mark at the end, I can assure u his name isn't Nazi he isn't a Nazi and he would literally murder Nazis. Don't get ur panties in a twist pleaaaaaaaase

This one is based off concept art made by my wife VelwynArt! She gave me the idea to make a lil goblin with a big sword and even helped me with her outfit design. We also found these really cool boots on Pinterest that we knew we had to include in her design :p

I'm planning on using her as a hireling or as a PC for a one shot. Fighter is the obvious choice but what subclass do you think best suits her?

I feel like I'm seeing more posts on here for 5.5e lately and I'm curious what the actual mix is? My group is primarily using 5e rules, with only the new exhaustion system being borrowed from 5.5e.

Just a funny moment that I thought would make others laugh. My party and I had a group trip at our state renaissance festival over the weekend which also included a night of DnD. This was a special trip since some of my party lives out-of-state, so it was our first session to have everyone fully in-person.

Before starting session, I had dashed upstairs to my room to quickly change and get into something more comfortable. All my friends had done the same.

I come back down and all my friends are seated in the living room. As DM, I hadn’t pay them much mind as I was riding through some tunnel vision to make sure everything was set up and good to go for session. It wasn’t until I stood up to double check that my laptop was plugged in did I glance around and see all 5 of my players with the biggest shit-eating grins.

All of them were wearing purple T-shirts (my favorite color, a purposeful choice) with the funkiest zoom in of the dumbest expression on my 17-year-old face. Apparently, they had done a bit of a deep dive on Facebook through my old tagged photos.

I don’t watch a ton of Critical Role, but I am aware that this is a signature move by Sam Riegel. However, I certainly did not think it would happen to me. 😂

I immediately start cracking up, almost dying on the floor laughing. They definitely got me and apparently had a separate group chat going for months in preparation. However, they refused to show me the chat as apparently they have other plans. 😂

A kind warning to DMs: you plot against your players so don’t assume they don’t plot against you.
