 [OC] Timelapse of of me finishing campaign prep for last Saturday’s session.

 [OC] my prep post blew up more than I ever thought it would. Questions on how I see over the monitor. Here is a video of part of our game last Saturday.

In the video my player casts fireball on a wooded ship. You can see the outcome as I am using knock off camera glasses to record my perspective during the campaign. It’s something I’m going to do more of. Various role playing to battles and all the fun stuff in between. I’m working on my mic setup a bit better but so far it’s worked well. Hopefully you can see how easily I am able to see over the screen while manipulating the game props and playing the game with my friends. If you have any questions please ask.

My phantom rouge Tiefling from a campaign I'm currently playing in. Her family owns a morgue she'll eventually inherit and she is haunted by dead relatives who mostly show up at night or in dreams. The campaign she's in doesn't focus on or use the characters backstory. It was supposed to be a one shot originally, but I'd like to think that her family bloodline is cursed to remain in limbo if they die from a medically unnatural cause of death, hence why she can see dead family members. She tends to be impulsive, a little too over confident in her abilities, and likes playing the occasional prank on people. She loves collecting bones, padlocks, and likes to make both jewelry and coffins in her free time. The latter is to keep the skills fresh for when she inherits the morgue. Her shadow is also sentient, and is unfortunately, infinitely more mischievous than Dee.

It took so long to get to the rendering. Between juggling personal projects, class work, and Dee fatigue from working and looking at her too long, I finally finished her portrait not too long ago. I hope I can do a full body render and make a few more outfits for her in the near future too.

 My DM wants to nerf the Wild Magic table because it is too skewed positively
Posted: 2026-08-20T03:17:02+00:00
Author: /u/Niccolo24https://www.reddit.com/user/Niccolo24

The dnd group I play with is about to start a new campaign (dnd 2024) and I'm going with Wild Magic Sorcerer. Before session 0, I run my plan with my DM: human for the heroic inspiration so I can reroll once per long rest and avoid poisoning a teammate. Tough + Musician origin feats. Going with a chromatic theme - lots of chromatic orbs. No fireball: BORING. Planning to cast twice per round, once on my turn, once as a reaction whenever I can, in order to trigger as many wild magic surges as possible. He's fine with it.

Until he reads the wild magic surge table and tells me that he has to nerf it: it's too strong, too positively skewed. There is literally 0 chance to land on a bad effect. Some of these effects are as good as epic boons that other characters get at level 19. With the reroll, I can "remove the RNG aspect of it" and "aim for the crazy effects like resistance to all damage". All this on the core sorcerer subclass that is already too strong. And I will aim for the Bloodwell vial item, which will make my character too strong. And so, he offers to rewrite the wild magic surge table.

What do you guys think? Should the wild magic table be nerfed? In its current state, is wild magic sorcerer a god-tier supra S-tier subclass that breaks the game? Better than Aberrant Mind, or Draconic? Better than wizards, warlocks, druids? Please let us know!

This post is not aiming to embarrass him, please be nice, I think he's a great DM. Just trying to bring some perspective with this post.

 [Art] [Oc] A Dragon and a Pirate
Posted: 2026-08-19T23:28:04+00:00
Author: /u/Quebbyk_https://www.reddit.com/user/Quebbyk_

What happens when the most wanted pirate in her dimension and the man who is trying to save the multiverse meet?

...

They end up together, obviously.

Anya and Drix met long before they became a couple, but 'the right people at the wrong time' are destined to cross paths again. Their reunion certainly didn't happen during quiet times, but in the vastness of the multiverse, what are the odds of running into the same person by chance?

A bit about them...

Drix is one of the recurring NPCs in our group's campaigns (all united in a single multiverse) and one of our longest-standing characters. His true form is that of a dragonborn, a form he must hides while in Anya's dimension, and he has the ability to transform into a dragon thanks to what we call "draconic energy", in our campaigns. It’s hard to briefly explain exactly what he is or what he does, but he's the guardian of the multiverse's balance, essentially a man bearing a heavy burden, trying to prevent the various dimensions from being consumed by corruption.

Anya, on the other hand, is one of my earliest characters. I love playing her and adore the homebrew setting that the master created for the campaign. She's an eccentric character who easily stirs up chaos wherever she goes. She's fearless, though she can, on rare occasions, be very serious. She started out as a simple pirate, but by the end of the campaign, she had become the captain of the most feared pirate ship in her seas, as well as the most wanted person across all the kingdoms.

All in all, getting to know them reveals an eccentric couple:

- the dragon and the pirate

- the criminal and the guardian

- the sunshine and the grumpy character

 Brutal Nat 1's makes me want to quit.
Posted: 2026-08-19T16:13:01+00:00
Author: /u/I_am_Charlie_Hellohttps://www.reddit.com/user/I_am_Charlie_Hello

My DM runs a homebrew campaign. I joined the group for this campaign but the nat 1 system he uses makes me dislike my character.

Here are some examples:

Roll nat 1 in combat - you automatically hit an ally instead.

Roll nat 1 on intimidation - you scare yourself instead so much so that you pee yourself and slip in your own urine hit your head and take 6 damage.

Roll nat 1 on perception - you get dust in your eyes take 4 damage and have disadvantage on all perception checks until rest.

Roll nat 1 on a save - you take double the damage.

I really like the other players and love to play with them, they were very welcoming even when i was new to the group. But the DM is rubbing me a bit the wrong way. I can handle the scarcity of magic items and the underwhelming power of our characters compared to the monsters. But it seems like it is the DM versus the players and all about making the player characters the butt of the joke, where i was hoping for a heroic adventure. Would it be unreasonable to quit over this? The others seems fine with it, at least they dont say anything. I'm just the new person.

Edit: After reading your replies i decided to quit effective immediately as most confirmed that i was not just imagining that these were dumb rules. Since my DM is a man and significantly older than me and don't have a decent view on womens opinions i decided to do so as quietly as possible.

I sent him a message explaining that i did not find myself right for his campaign. Wished him luck and texted the other members saying that i quit and would love to hang out and just chat or play some board games if any of them wanted.

I will be looking for another group, and do more research on what rules they use before joining.

Thank you for the replies, some of you at lightning speed.

 [OC] [Art] Art I made to tease my group's next campaign: A medieval Middle East inspired fantasy.
Posted: 2026-08-19T16:50:05+00:00
Author: /u/ooperLoopshttps://www.reddit.com/user/ooperLoops

The story hook is this:

Lord Esitar of Paramat, in his waning health and gradual fall into delirium, needs a group of highly "skilled" caretakers to look after his teenaged niece, Asia. Asia is a cynical hard head, quick to fall into tantrums, but extremely gifted in all things magic and could manipulate the world around her as she sees fit. Servants before have tried and failed to properly attend to her needs, citing her abilities as an EXTREME danger to others.

Lord Esitar now promises a reward of 100,000 gp to any group of caretakers who can safely escort Asia to meet her mother at the holy city of Yeshurat without delay. Though he is vague on why he stresses that Asia must be kept safe during travel, interest amongst the public arose as the prospect of money in exchange was very enticing.

 [5e] CE Wizard dropped an AoE on our melee party, getting 2 PCs killed. DM says "resolve it in-game". Is it an overreaction to attack or banish him?
Posted: 2026-08-19T16:13:45+00:00
Author: /u/Holldemhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Holldem

The Context: I’m playing in a long-running campaign where the DM explicitly allows PvP. One of the players is running a Chaotic Evil Wizard. We’ve already had a major red flag with him: we were trying to send evidence of demons to a Paladin order, and the Wizard flat-out attacked us because he wanted to keep the evidence for himself. We handled it in-game and supposedly resolved the issue.

The Incident: Fast forward to our last session. We were fighting a very powerful enemy, and four of our party members were engaged in melee with it. The Wizard decided to drop a fireball right on top of the boss, hitting all four of our melee fighters. The DM allowed it, and everyone took the damage. Because of that friendly fire, two of those characters ended up dying during the combat.

The DM's Stance: The DM says that pvp is allowed and we need to solve it in-game.

My Question: Before anyone suggests it: leaving the group is not an option I am looking for right now. I want to handle this exactly how the DM requested—within the narrative.

Given the circumstances, how would your characters naturally react? Would it be going too far if the surviving characters immediately attack the Wizard or forcefully expel him from the party? It feels completely illogical for our characters to continue trusting or traveling with someone who just got half the team killed for convenience, but I want to know if going full PvP retaliation is a justified in-game response here. How would you play this out?

EDIT for clarification: the DM is a first time DM and all the players except me are playing their first long campaign

 I've never been this scared of a DnD villain
Posted: 2026-08-20T06:51:25+00:00
Author: /u/Dark_Vexerhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Dark_Vexer

Our DM did an absolutely amazing job setting this villain up. He's hailed as one of the Sword Saints, one of the best people to wield a sword in history. We play very narratively, so DM sometimes slightly bends rules to give everyone a better story.

We were fighting with him earlier than we were supposed to. 1v4.

We are in combat. I'm a Barbarian. I roll a nat 20.

"Yes! Nat 20! Crit!"

"Nat 20 misses."

"...Excuse me?"

"Nat 20 isn't enough to hit him".

We ran away.
