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 bought the Dragon’s of Stormwreck Isle starter set because I’ve been getting interested in DnD and I wanted to host it with my friends for the first time (5 including me). I’ve done a ton of prep, watched DM guides and taken notes on the story and game mechanics. I’ve never played before, and neither have 3 of the others so we’re all learning along the way and having fun. I don’t know if this is the right move, but I asked them all for a copy of their character sheet so I could help them out/keep track of what they have. The other guy though, is my issue.
He’s played DnD before and seems sort of weird about the whole thing? He won’t say anything about his character, keeps saying “You’re not ready” for his gameplay/“I’ll go easier on you since you’re new to this” and seems like he knows something I don’t. And obviously he hasn’t given me his character sheet. Everyone else has completed characters, has made art/lore for them, and we haven’t started yet because of his refusal.
Everyone else loves this guy and so do I, but he’s been really weird about DnD in particular and I’m debating if I should just not let him play. Please help.

I've spent a long time building Toril GIS (download page), a free editable offline map for exploring the geography of the Forgotten Realms and creating maps of your own.
Instead of being one flattened image, Toril GIS gives you a cartographer's workshop built from separate vector layers for settlements, rivers, roads, regions, coastlines, political boundaries, the Underdark, and other geographic features. You can combine and style them as you wish, add your own campaign locations, and export the results in a wide range of formats.
The included map styling is preliminary and intended as a starting point. You are free to change the colors, symbols, labels, linework, visibility, and overall visual language of the map.
Toril GIS also includes a digital terrain model. You can inspect elevation and relief, generate terrain profiles (as seen in the screenshot), measure distances, and better understand how mountains, valleys, plains, settlements, and routes relate to one another.
This is a preliminary version. It is already usable, but coverage and detail vary between regions, and many names, descriptions, and visual treatments still need improvement. The current foundation is based primarily on second-edition material, and my current focus is adding more locations and expanding regional coverage over time.
Toril GIS works on Windows, macOS, and Linux and requires QGIS, a free desktop application. The download also includes SVG versions of the map layers for use in Inkscape, Illustrator, Affinity Designer, and similar software.
I've approached Toril GIS mainly as a cartography and geography project, but I'm curious how others would use it. What would you create with it?
Toril GIS is unofficial fan content under the WotC Fan Content Policy. It is not approved, sponsored, or endorsed by Wizards of the Coast.
P.S. To see an interactive online map built from Toril GIS data, take a look at my previous Reddit post about Toril Explorer.

I recently received a request by a player to draw their Wood Elf Druid character. I wasn’t given much backstory to work from, but I was however given a loose description of his appearance. The player asked that the character wear green robes with a hood, and a bit of leather armor. They also requested for him to wield a branch staff that is growing around Staff of the Magi. They asked that he wear a white mask, but the look of the mask was left entirely up to me. Underneath the mask and attire is a slender wood elf with long white hair, which prompted me to include a portrait in order to reveal his face/physical appearance.
As an artist I find I am very critical of my own work, but this is one of those seldom pieces where I feel very content with the final product. The geometric rendering is a feature that I’ve been using very much lately, and I just think it works really well here. I like to draw in a sort of angular way, which I also feel complimented the characters appearance and general aesthetic. Stylistically, this is right where I want to be. Working on this piece has sort of recharged me as an artist, and I am really looking forward to finishing up my other projects, and doing many more.

*Suspiciously intelligent ducks not included
First off, the winners of last week's giveaway: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/1v5e8qp
Congratulations, u/MongooseLuce, u/Old_Man_Wilfrid, and u/Puffireaktion! I will be reaching out to you to get the necessary information to fulfill this giveaway.
A little while ago, I came out with the Magical Code of Regulations, 500 pages of law governing the use of magic. It started as a fun little project while I was working as an auditor at the IRS, and turned into a whole worldbuilding project I don't think I'll ever truly stop. It has laws governing everything ranging from necromancy, magical conservation easements, and familiars, to dragons, fireballs, and Chosen Ones. Great for D&D players and DMs, lawyers, accountants, worldbuilders, fantasy writers, and people that just want a really cool coffee table book. I promise it is the most in-depth magical law you've ever read.
Since release, I've made over 3,000 sales, this book is #1 on IngramSpark in fantasy over the last month (for you booksellers looking for a cool book for your store), and will even have an officially licensed Chinese edition on the way (more details to come later)!
In celebration of these milestones, I will be giving away one signed copy of my book with a free digital version, a customizable authorized spellcaster license, a few stickers and a booheickmark, and a no-change audit letter. All you have to do to enter is comment below! The winner will be selected randomly on 8/7 using redditraffler, with only caveat being that your account must be at least 3 months old.
I appreciate all the support I've gotten from this community and others over the past couple of years, and if you'd like to support this project independent of this giveaway, you can find the Code at the following links:
NOTE: If the shipping seems extremely expensive, you may need to go to your country's storefront. If you live in the EU and your country doesn't have one, Germany (amazon.de) is usually best. I'll try my best to find options for anyone that has trouble getting it!
DriveThruRPG (now in hardcover!): https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/566282/the-magical-code-of-regulations
If you're still not convinced, and wanted a sneak-peek, Questing Beast made a great video on it!
https://youtu.be/ffP-xvpRS5Q?is=YXo5uFPHC4cDXeTo
If you're still not convinced, know that the second edition will make ownership of the MCOR compulsory, so you might as well give in now.
Anyways, good luck everyone, and can't wait to see who the winners are!

So I dont play much barbarian but I remember how utterly awesome the old Path of the Zealot Barbarian used to be in 2014. It really gives Trench Crusade/Sisters of Battle Vibes. Like it OOZED flavor and was something that just felt incredibly evocative and powerful that was unique to it.
But recently looked at the new Zealot barb and like... wot? It feels so much more... generic? Like it just seems like a discount Paladin now. It lost the "resource free rezz" and it lost the "too angry to die".
So have you found any other sub class where you find yourself actually missing the old version?

EDIT: thanks to everyone for trying to explain, and to the passive aggressive comments too. i think i got a few very good and clarifying answers, so now i have some different points of view and my questions are mostly cleared up 🫰
Put misc as a tag cause I wasn't sure what else would fit.
I have been playing D&D for a few years now, but only in a very isolated environment, by which I mean I only ever played with my friend group and once with my family. We always make new characters for our campaigns, maybe sometimes we recycle if we particularly loved a character and want to use it in a one-shot. Sure, some people will lean towards certain roles, but we generally mix it up, not even on purpose we simply all choose different things each time.
But now that I've started to hang out in D&D online spaces I've noticed that people really seem to have a character that they consider "their character". So now I'm wondering what does that actually mean? Is it just the character they use the most? Their favourite character? The character they're currently playing? Or is it treated more like a persona rather than a character they actually play?
