A cursed goblin seamstress, once a proud and haughty Tabaxi aristocrat, was transformed into a hideous little goblin as punishment for her unbearable vanity.

Despite her monstrous appearance, she still wears her shrunken noble finery and carries herself with the same arrogance, pride, and disdain as the highborn lady she once was. She demands respect from everyone she meets, refusing to accept that her former status is gone. She loathes the poor.

Commission work, hope you like it ✂️

DnD is like a high for me. I get to be someone else.

It is the best story telling medium. My character died recently and I didn't go to the table after that.

I took a couple of weeks to come back to DnD.

Its beautiful, its profound, its a story telling medium where you and your friends are the story.

No book is me, no movie is a hangout with friends.

This is the only way I can experience a fantasy world with my friends.

We laugh, we cry, we weep, we drink for hours.

4-6 hours of just being someone else as yourself.

I'm making my own bestiary, here's my first monster OC, based on sketches I've made through the years:

Once a solitary explorer who braved the darkest woods in search of forgotten ruins, Lanthrawl fell victim to a slow, creeping transformation wrought by a cursed glade. His body was twisted by residual fey magic, his soul too stubborn to fade. Now, with six elongated limbs and a grotesque, skeletal frame, he wanders the forest still, clutching the rusted lantern he once carried as a man.

Strangely, the lantern still glows, dim and steady, its flame fed not by oil but by lingering traces of enchantment, or perhaps by Lanthrawl’s desperate fear of darkness and solitude. His pale gray-brown skin clings tightly to his bones, his ribs and vertebrae clearly visible beneath his thin flesh. The light he carries swings gently from his prehensile tail or bony claws, casting long shadows across the trees.

Though grotesque in form, Lanthrawl is no monster at heart. He welcomes travelers with a hollow, ever-present smile, exposing the few yellowed teeth that remain in his mouth. His dark, empty eyes seem always searching, seeking companionship, or at least acknowledgment.

Should you treat him kindly, he will guide you through dense forests, forgotten tombs, or twisting caverns, protecting you from getting lost. He asks nothing in return but your presence, your voice, your warmth. He feeds on small woodland creatures, swallowing them whole due to his lack of teeth. What he fears above all else is abandonment, and the silence of an unlit world.

Lanthrawl stands at a crooked height of 8 feet (approximately 2.4 meters), his long limbs and arched back giving him a looming, unnatural silhouette in the dark.

It is said that anyone who walks alone for too long in dim light could become one of them.

I have been into fantasy creatures and more every since I saw those little goblins on my cousins board game. I made many memories from this hobby, my partner didn't know the hobby but now they're very into it that they wrote 50 pages for themselves for their character. I made many friends, laughed and cried. I hope I'll see myself GMing for 111 years. Happy 11 years of GMing to me! I wish whom read this so far a very good luck on scheduling your sessions and minimal drama on your tables!!!

I (18f) invited this guy I used to like (18m) to join a campaign that I DM because he was a mutual friend of some of my players. I did not expect him to say yes because I invited him out of courtesy. I lied earlier. Now I have a fat crush on him...

Am I even allowed to do anything about it? Will it ruin the game for the other players if I do? I also can't tell if this is due to my bias towards him, but he's one of the most considerate players I've ever DMed and he's completely new.

For context, we have a big campaign, so it's often really hectic. After his first session, he texted me and asked if I was doing ok because everyone was talking over me. I was so surprised that he reached out because I'm honestly used to it. Anyways, I make it a point to not favor him differently than other players. I'm hoping that it hasn't changed anything...

Ok so I’ll admit in a session recently, they found their way to a nobleman’s home and were invited to the gala. For fun, I ask them to roll dexterity to see if they get swept up in the dances. They all fail, so I take turns doing small talk with their various partners. I get to him, and I’m 2 people in when he asks if the NCP is flirting with him. In my mind it was supposed to be small talk :,D… I say sure they’ve got a flirty personality (his insights really high). Then I think maybe I talked too much to him (although in my mind, I thought I had an equally long conversation with another player). Because after the 3rd person, he says I can move on to the next player. Internally I panicked a lot.

Just for fun, I’ll add another story. I am so stupid. I gave him a ride home and we talked. I stop at his house. He loiters around for a while so I assume maybe the doors locked. I unlock the door. He continues to stay in the car. I ask him if he wants me to walk him to his door or something and he laughs it off. Anyways, we hug say bye he leaves. :sigh:

Do relationships ruin games? I've never had this kind of situation with the other guys I play with. How do I go about this? Any advice is welcome. :,)

Hi,

How do you deal with a player who doesn’t learn to use their character sheet and declines all help?

Tldr: Playing since April. One player (newcomer but invested in game) still recalculates every roll from scratch, ignores his sheet, and refuses all help. With a new campaign coming up: how to set boundaries or help without conflict?

I’ve been playing Curse of Strahd since April, and now, in November, one of the players (let’s call him A) still goes through the entire process of recalculating every single number: for every ability check, attack roll, and damage calculation, from scratch, every single time.

He stares at the die, then at his half empty character sheet, then at a bunch of loose scraps of paper where he writes things down instead of just filling his character sheet. He starts thinking out loud, trying to recall the rules, and counting on his fingers to reach a total. Sometimes he loses track and has to start all over again.

He also keeps a printed copy of the Player’s Handbook on hand, which he’ll spend ages flipping through just to look up a rule (fortunately, not during the game itself, but during the breaks).

Every time this happens, the DM and the rest of us have to prompt him, just to keep things moving. We’ve all memorized his stats by now, but he still can’t seem to remember them himself.

Sigh

To head off any questions: yes, I’ve told him that this causes issues.

I’ve brought it up to him privately and in front of the whole group. I’ve offered to help him fill out his sheet (he brushed it off), suggested websites for interactive character sheets, and pointed him toward resources that summarize all the relevant formulas.

I even made him write his sword’s attack and damage modifiers directly onto his sheet, pointing exactly to where he should look for them.

It’s all been for nothing.

His response? "I’ll figure it out myself eventually." He just smiles and keeps doing exactly what he’s always done.

Sigh (х2)

In fairness, he was a complete beginner when we started the campaign. The rest of us are experienced players, and we’ve always been patient and understanding, taking the time to explain the mechanics to him. I can understand someone having trouble grasping game mechanics. But failing to take the initiative to create a character sheet that’s actually understandable to oneself—and that over the course of six months—is just beyond my comprehension.

As for how the others perceive it, the DM usually doesn’t react staying professionally patient, the second player finds A annoying on personal level but avoids confrontation, while the third one remains fairly neutral about the whole thing.

At the same time, A takes other aspects of the game quite seriously; it’s not as if he simply doesn’t care about what happens during our sessions.

So, what would you suggest in this situation? Soon we will start new campaign and while I don’t mind his presence, his approach to calculating bothers me pretty much.

The title says it all. Not that I am a die-hard Old School player; I'm flexible. But all the local games here are in libraries and for teens.

Just wondering if I've aged out of the gaming pool the same way I've aged out of the dating pool.

Since I'm posting anyway, I also have a few commission slots open if anyone's been thinking about getting their character illustrated.
A few details:
Semi-realistic fantasy style
Humans, elves, half-elves, and other humanoid
races
Around 2-week turnaround
50/50 PayPal (half upfront, half on completion)
Whether it's a new character or one that's been with you for years, I'd love to hear about them. Feel tree to drop a comment or send me a DM!

That’s right, I’d like to draw your OCs! ᓚᘏᗢ

The TTRPG space is something that is special to me, I’d like to give a little back.

No payment or obligations.

I need more experience with tokens, and drawing characters that have often so much love and attachment to them brings me joy. Above are some of my most beloved OCs that I've had laughs and tears with (& a Winter Spirit to mix it up).

- message me your OC with a detailed description and any reference images you may have.

I’m also open to your favourite monsters and BBGs!

Warm wishes,
Selk x

I was so stoked to be commissioned to do a portrait of someone's dnd character. My goal is to find a client base within the fantasy character community! I took inspiration from some old oil paintings of military commanders as she's a commander as well. I'm pretty pleased with how the detailing in the armor came out and the face shading.
