What's the point? 80% of the rules are about combat and fighting. If you dont like it, why simply not play diffrent system? i constantly bumb into people who say they like the game but dont like fights and mostly roleplay. Why wont they simply try something like FATE or other system thats focused on the narrative end? Sure you can avoid fights completly but its like using a tool against its intended purpose.

After years of waiting I have started my leg sleeve of the 7 Capital Vices (pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth) This Death Tyrant has been the focus of many of my campaigns with none ever lasting long enough to meet it in person. With one session with and 11 hours under the needle, I have finally seen it for myself.

Normally I do not share my tattoos, however it seems there are very few references for Beholder tattoos. This is furthered when we get into the more niche categories like the Death Tyrants. If you would like more information for how this art was put together I am happy to share that process with you (No AI was utilized).

When looking for an artist I really wanted to find someone that was comfortable with the usage of strong color but in small amounts. Eventually I ended up finding an artist, Pyo_ink. While his style included no DnD characters historically, his line weight, use of negative space and pronounced color selection is what made me go with him.

If you have any questions, please comment or DM as I am happy to answer and I wish you the best of luck in your Dungeon diving.

Reimagined my first dnd character! For reference, here's her original design. Cute, but that was the problem. It was cute :(

Grillo (cricket in spanish) is a neutral, sometimes chaotic evil-leaning character. She used to be a seamstress who was outcasted for stealing materials, and it's on community service to make up for it. She loves showing off her bounty as if they were the most interesting pieces you could lay your puny eyes on, without noticing nobody gives a shit.

She is vile, uninterested, lazy, loves pulling teeth and spines from her fallen foes, and has a small collection of gold trinkets. So to simplify, she's 20cm (I think that's 7.8 inches) of egocentrism.

...therefore, it made no sense that she looked like a cute bug girl, so I changed her design to be more like a green bug, swapped her colored beads to golden jewelry, removed her aviator hat, so now she looks less prepared and more "on the go" and slightly adjusted her face so it's easier to make her expressive. (You don't know how difficult it is to draw an expressive character when you choose not to give them eyebrows, so I gave her a pair)

"Kyju" is her real name which means cricket in guaraní (an indigenous dialect mainly from some South American countries) but since she's a pixie, she chose to give a fake name, wink wink.

So that's my little essay on my Kyju! I love this girl. Bad thing she's currently inactive lol

I recently moved states and have been playing at a game shop to meet people out here. Now, the people there are great. The staff is friendly, the players and dms are generally fun to be around and we have a great time. It's usually non serious one shots full of laughter. But, they advertise on their website that game nights are 5.5e, RAW. They don't mention anything about there being house rules. One of them being, of course, critical fumbles.

I truly don't understand the appeal of critical fumbles. It simply punishes players for picking martials and achieves little else. As someone who prefers playing martials and the occasional warlock, I'm supposed to be fine with essentially being nerfed compared to spellcasters. I'm supposed to believe that my character, who has been training with weapons their entire lives and has seen many battles is somehow dropping his weapon mid combat, or stabbing himself, or accidentally slicing his ally open because I'm using a cleave weapon 5% of the time in every single encounter. I mean, come on man. We were just facing the BBEG in on of our one shots and the barbarian accidentally cleaved into me with his great axe, bringing me to 0 hp and barely scratching the enemy. Yeah, I'd totally party up with that guy in the future.

All this to say, I argued that I'm fine with the house rule as long as it's applied equally. Spellcasters also face critical fumbles when making a spell attack. Ok, that happens maybe once per round whereas it can happen to martials at least twice at the same level. There's already a higher chance to be affected by it. As a spellcaster, I'd simply only use save spells going forward, which some of them have began doing. I argued that then we should start critically fumbling when the enemy scores a nat 20 on their save. Then it'd start to be somewhat equal. Even though martials still have a higher chance of screwing up badly.

No one agreed to this, told me it was just a game and just for fun and don't take it too seriously and etc. I argued that yeah it's just a game, but I wouldn't play a game of monopoly if I started with $0 and in debt every single turn. Keep in mind this wasn't that big of an argument as we were all still laughing and joking in between, no one really got upset or anything. But, can someone please explain how critical fumbles are remotely fun, or balanced, or how everyone could possibly be playing by the same rules when we're literally just actually not?

I have half a mind just to bring in a halfling divination wizard with lucky and silvery barbs next time lol.

Here's a bunch of art I've made while DMing Lost Mine of Phandelver. It's just a mix of what we've encountered so far as I've run it. All the art is black and white as I was printing everything at home and presenting it in person as we played. I'll hopefully do more as we play more!

It's available (pay-what-you-want) here: https://slothhoffman.itch.io/lmop-artpack

I (23M) have been DM'ing for 6 years now (with the same exact table except for 1 person), and I know a lot about it, I however am a forever DM and rarely get to experience playing a character except in 1 or 2 one-shots. The things is, despite my experience, there are a lot of things about the D&D system (5e specifically) that I just never understood, there are so many spells, feats, class features, and random bits of ruling that I just always forget about a lot of them, but I always check with my table since 2 of my players know the rulings better because they make a lot of characters for fun.

Now the big issue: when something feels a bit off to them, like for an example an enemy hitting over 22 AC (They're level 11 mind you), they look at me as if I've done something wrong and ask things like, "I dont think that's right" or "You know this lowly enemies would rarely ever hit that right?" (We've been playing for the same amount of time). Or just when I design a new spell or mechanic for a boss and they say "That's not how that works...", or things like that, constantly!

If I don't understand something about the game, or you see me mention a game mechanic for the actual rulebook that flumbing, THEN you can help me. But if I'm just trying to DM and do something out of the ordinary, don't treat me a newbie who doesn't know how to play, I make up mechanics all the time to make things interesting, and always tell you about them so you understand them, and if not always leave clues and hints. It passes me off so much!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my latest personal project—a Dragonborn Barbarian inspired by D&D.

This is a **3D fan recreation** based on an original 2D character design by **[tung-6458]**. I absolutely loved the concept and wanted to challenge myself by bringing it into a fully realized 3D character while staying as faithful to the original design as possible.

My main goal was to capture the rugged, battle-hardened feel through detailed armor, worn leather, realistic materials, and a strong silhouette.

I'd love to hear what you think! Feedback is always welcome.

My only knowledge about DnD is basically some youtube videos, a little bit of information from my friends and like 10 hours in Baldur’s Gate 3, is DMing a good idea if I’ve never even seen a real game? What do I need to know?

A female tiefling character art I did quite a while ago. She's a cocky yet confident red tiefling who, for better or worse, accidentally awakened her power due to a traumatic event.

One of her most striking features is a large, glowing golden spectral horn emerging from her broken right horn. Radiating from her heart are lines of glowing golden light that cover her body, almost like veins or circuitry, stopping just below her neck.

The character owner never told me what her class was supposed to be, but I was told that she's very athletic and shows signs of lots of physical activity. So, I imagine she's somewhere between a fighter and a sorcerer, given her physical build and visual traits.
