This is a detailed illustration I made through my VGen for a client.

Alethra is a pshychic witch that her role is to go into royal events and spy and manipulate royals.

She is meant to look captivating and luring , like she is from another era even .

She has been trained by the wizzards to use her powers discreetly while blending in with the crowd , and when its time , find the one important person in the room (which in this case is the queen ) and talk to them until she is able to read all the information she needs .

In this illustration she is shown to slowly lure the lonely distant queen into dancing with her . Her eyes glow as she is actively using her powers , and glowing energy drains from Alethra's body , sneaking its way in from the back of the queen , ready to attach itself to the back of her head (symbolizing Alethra's mind reading power and control).

It was a great piece to work with and I had a lot of fun drawing the palace and all those dancing background characters.

the situation where you ask one player to make a check and then every other player at the table says "can i try?"... resulting in like 5 people all trying their hand at every/most tasks.

are you cool with that? or do you rule against it in some fashion?

Was inspired to draw this snapshot of a “friendly” rogue-on-rogue dagger duel from my Friday night session (5e homebrew westmarches campaign).

My character Leta, on the right (lvl 4 phantom rogue), has infiltrated a prestigious magical school with the assistance of a crime syndicate, and has proceeded to assist in bypassing local wards, and allowing fellow members to establish a foothold on the isle where the school is located. One member of the organisation, Leta’s superior, a woman named Wren, has also assumed the identity of a fellow student named Rook (aka she murdered him in the closet at the schools winter ball and acquired Leta’s assistance in disposing of the body). To cover their tracks, Wren also started a rumour among the schools populace that the two had snuck off together for a hook up at the ball.

In the Friday night session, Leta acquired a brief and unexpected boon of an hour long 29 strength, and decided to use it against fake Rook (called Wrook above table when discussing over message and in notes) in a friendly duel at the schools duellist circle, both as a way to establish Wrook’s strength, as well as potentially impress and earn some respect.

It was a close match, and with Leta only 1HP away from winning, Wrook countered with a devastating final blow, dealing 26 damage in a single hit, and winning the spar.

It was a great session and very fun use of an unexpected boon!

Yesterday I did my first Artist Alley, selling my own journal sheets, and it went pretty okay! I managed to sell a couple of sheets, and I was honestly so surprised by how kind and excited people were about them! One person even brought their parents over, and they ended up buying some together. It was such a sweet experience! 🥹

I've also been working on my own character journal for a little while now, and recently I decided to add tabs to it! Honestly, I didn't expect them to work as well as they did, haha.

I was a little worried the tabs might feel useless if they didn't serve some kind of purpose, so I added some fun trackers to the back of them! I've been consistently building and improving this journal over the past couple of months, and I've even engraved it myself!

It's been really fun watching this little project slowly come together, and getting to share some of it with other people at Artist Alley made me even happier! ❤️

Savion was a daughter of a noble house, but to call her a daughter gave too much credit to how they viewed her. She wasn’t their daughter, she was the centerpiece of their collection. You see, this family had a secret. They were cult-like followers of the Raven Queen. And Savion, she was born from the illegitimate affair between the noble parent and a Shadar-Kai spy.

When they realized Savion’s true identity, rather than be worried about the spy or the affair, they were ecstatic to have ownership of a person with a race touched by the Raven Queen. Their noble estate was like a museum of Raven Queen artifacts, and Savion was the treasure of it all. They never saw her as a person, only a treasure.

The first person to ever treat Savion like a real person was also her first friend. Little did she know, this friend of her’s was a spy, tasked with exposing the family’s secret worship of the Raven Queen. But the friendship was real, so when he finally completed his task and betrayed her he was filled with so much guilt he left his spy life behind and fled to another country, leaving Savion with only a note. Of course, Savion didn’t mind his betrayal at all, she didn’t care for her parents or what scandals they fell into. So now, Savion is on a journey to find and forgive her best friend who still thinks he’s unforgivable.

Hello everyone, it's Mundin! After over a year and some change, he has official art work thanks to my girlfriend. Some of you may recognize Mundin from my post where he sacrificed himself for the party. Next to him is my girlfriend's character, Jakalin. She calls him "Rock Boy", which I think is pretty funny. I originally wanted him to just be posted up against the bar by himself but my girlfriend suggested Jakalin being there as well, and Mundin obviously had to shoot his shot. I had him take his coat off so she didn't have to draw the details of his coat against the bar.

The party is made of:

• A Barbarian/Druid Reborn
• A Sorcerer/Bard Custom Lineage
• A Bard Shadar'Kai
• A Artificier/Rogue/Cleric Half-Elf

We've been playing this campaign for 2.5 years now. Even though the character I play has currently changed (The Sorcerer sided with the BBEG the previous DnD Session), this illustration is still one of my favourite ones and I still think about it to this day! We even managed to print it and every member of the party now has a copy!

I hope you like it! :)

In my games very few PCs are martials. Even when they are, they usually build around specific weapon types. And yet, in both IRL medieval arsenals and the DMG's item list, swords are ubiquitous - and I know medieval warfare usually preferred pollearms and ranged combat, but swords were still ubiquitous, even if only for show.

Most magic weapons in the game are swords, and not all finesse. Handing out an instrument of the bard to a party with no bards, or a longsword with a party with only dex-based martials seems like a dick move. However, making sure players only get across custom-fit items seems contrived.

What do you think? How do you do it in your games?

The average NPC probably doesn’t know the lore behind Nilbogs, and thus would think they were a goblin with really cracked magic of some kind.

This presents the perfect opportunity to have NPCs dealing with a Nilbog problem to, completely and unironically with a straight face, call them a Mind Goblin.

Your party will suspect it’s all a joke. Then they actually FIGHT the thing, and that statblock imo can make for some of the most genuinely-interesting fights in a campaign, just based on how it messes with the typical rules
