After a long and arduous journey, she stood before the decaying citadel, its once-majestic spires now reduced to crumbling stone. The place she had seen in her dreams, now an inescapable reality. Her blade pulsed with an otherworldly hum, its faint glow casting eerie shadows across the ruins. The air was thick with foreboding, and she knew that what was within these walls, would not leave her soul untouched…

Got commissioned to bring this amazing character concept to life !

BACKSTORY:

Born from the mind of a brilliant artificer and a skilled fencer, Va’lea was poised to live her life with a silver spoon in her mouth. However, as a terrible sickness claimed her mother’s life, her father spiraled into a deep mire of hopelessness. Becoming a monster which Va’lea was forced to flee from after discovering a terrible secret beneath the manor.

Terrified of her father’s reach and influence. She ran and hid as far as her limbs would carry her, taking in multiple identifies to seek work as an adventurer to travel farther faster. And even still, it is never enough. Her paranoia and fear compels her to live as a rat would, scuttling at every unfamiliar, lurching at every shadow, and wincing at every spoken word. This was no way to live.

And so, steeling herself to do what must be done, utilizing her own fathers mastery at machination, and her mothers skills as a fighter. Conducting herself with a mixture of superior techniques and her robotic aids, “the Maxim Dance,” to reinforce her skilled maneuvers.

To free herself from her own spiral of fear and agony before anguish claims her heart forevermore.

She will return home.

after hearing about all the fun things that happens in other people’s campaigns, i have been given the chance to finally play in one with a group of friends! (we meet on monday)

i got too excited and made my character already⬇️

dorian the lowryn changling was relaxing creekside one day when he accidentally slipped and fell into a river which whisked him away for the better part of his day until late that night, it swept him into the middle of a lake. there floating, he watched a traveling music group perform a concert for a big group of campers and watched it all night in awe. by morning when everyone had gone, dorian drifted towards the shore and, feeling inspired, grabbed a lute that was left behind and set off on his quest to learn every kind of music. for one day he can replicate those melodies he heard that starry night…

im not sure what stats he’ll have just yet, but oh well. i guess i’ll have to wait and see :D

At the end of our last D&D session, a player in my 3 year-old campaign cast the 3rd level spell "Conjure Ocean" from Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass. He teleported a 20 foot cube of water into a closed underground room. The room is smaller than 8,000 cu ft (20'x20'x20').

The player was peeking in behind a door that opened inwards. There is nothing in the spell description that limits the volume of water to the size of the room. Water is incompressible. Real world physics tells me this is catastrophic.

We all found this fun. It ended our session, and the consequences haven't played out. I get to decide.

What do you think would happen to the room? What would you do as a DM running D&D (5th Edition)?

Ellandra's a succubus, currently employed as an infernal prison guard. She's also asexual, which means she's a big disappointment to her parents: "You can't leave the house wearing that!" Currently, she's helping the party break into an interdimensional prison in order to rescue an artificer. She's pretty bad at combat, since she doesn't use any succubus abilities. But boy howdy does she have opinions on box wine, and she's working on a novel in her spare time.

This question is for any other D&D players who use discord for their game and believe that age verification on any platform is an attack on free speech and privacy. Not because we don't want to protect young minds from mature content, but because what a company or government labels as “adult or “obscene" is subjective (generally to their bottom line, or increased power) and liable to change to serve them. And it's often packaged "to protect children."

Discord is an independent company and can do what they please, just as my dnd group is free to choose another platform that accommodates our values. If anyone feels the same - where will you take your game?

okay so baby dm here and i think i messed up 💀

i'm running a game for 3 of my best friends and we're all pretty new to this. one of my players made a way of the open hand monk and he was super excited about it at first.

the problem is the rest of the party is a vengeance paladin and a evocation wizard. now we're level 5 and he feels completely useless and i kinda see why.

last session, the wizard fireballed a whole room and the paladin one-shot the leader with a big smite. the monk's turn came up and he literally just ran up, punched a guy that was already almost dead, and that was it. he told me after the game that he feels like a "worse fighter with no armor and no damage" and that he's not having fun with it (he loves the background, history... the class is the problem)

he just messaged me asking if he could change his class to a fighter or something.

and idk what to do?? it feels like cheating but he's clearly not enjoying the game and i want him to have fun. do i just let him switch? how do we even explain that in the story? like he goes to sleep a monk and wakes up a fighter lol??

help pls i don't want to ruin the fun for him 🙏 any advice would be amazing

--------
omg EDIT:

wow okay i didn't expect so many replies 😭 thank you everyone!! i haven't had time to read them all yet but you guys are amazing fr.

so my plan is:

• i'm gonna talk to him and suggest a few options. maybe a magic item or just improving his character like you said. some people mentioned the 2024 monk which could be cool too, I will definitly have a look.
• if he really wants to switch, we'll just do it. you all gave some literally genius ideas on how to introduce a new character so thank you for that 🙏
• and yeah ngl i'm also gonna look at my combat encounters, i probably underestimated my players and the monk always gets to act too late. plus he has terrible luck with dice so i get why he's tired of it 💀

tysm again everyone you are the best ✨

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a nice day. I am a professional character artist and illustrator based in Italy. I own a degree in Figurative Arts, and I've been working online for almost ten years now. I specialize in characters illustrations. My favorite themes are fantasy, sci-fi, noir, dark, horror and cyberpunk.

I am currently available for commissions, and you can request a quote here.

I've been doing work with redditors of r/dnd for years now, and I've collected a few reviews on my website. I'm sure there are more on r/testimonials as well :) More images can be found at my website, which has a section dedicated to how my commissions work.

If you'd like to stay up to date with my work, please check out my Bluesky where I post daily, or my Ko-fi galleries where you can also support me if you would like to but don't need a full commission done!

Cheers, Flygohr

Howdy folks!

Jupp jupp jupp! Not much to report tbh, working on some stuff, gotta get more S&S done before the launch of my secondborn. Thinking of maybe opening up commissions later after I'm done with the batch I got over from the Kickstarter (providing I have the time with two kiddos). We'll see!

Stay excellent out there!

Peace and carrots!

Hello! I'm organizing a short campaign or one-shot for my book club and looking for suggestions of what Species and Class might be good for our (mostly inexperienced) players.

The group is all women and we're going for a classic romantic heroine vibe - think "the princess saves the day while wearing a beautiful dress".

If there's anything similar to a mermaid, we have one player who would love to do that.

I've tagged as 5th Edition but our DM is flexible in creating what we're looking for.

Thanks for the suggestions! :)

Edit: Thank you for all of the wonderful suggestions! Knowing that we can make pretty much anything work as long as we're creative makes me feel much more confident that we'll have a great time.
