Hi, I am happy to share with you this character I have been working on!

Gwenyth is a Paladin, serving as a guard for a kingdom in the sky, when one day it was attacked by dragons and she fell to earth. This is where a travelling party found her and she travels along side them while trying to figure out how to reclaim the kingdom that is now controlled by dragons.

You are always welcome to reach out to me if you have any inquiries!

This is mostly just a vent, if you're one of my players and you see this, no you didn't.

I've been running this campaign for three years now. Early days I set up this character who was meant to be a guide and support to the players, and the players grew very close with him. He was a ghost who had died in a ritual to seal away one of the seven evil gods (who I'll just refer to as Powers from now on) who had invaded the world centuries ago. Or that's what he told the party.

In truth, he was one of said evil gods who had turned away from his fellow gods to go live with the mortals, who he found a lot more interesting. He even found himself a wife and had children with her. When the rest of the Powers found out where he had gone, they were furious at his "betrayal" so they killed his wife and dragged him back to divinity. He was, of course, furious and started the whole ritual to seal them away while disguising himself as a mortal in his spare time.

Anyway, I sat on that secret for three years. I dropped small hints occasionally, because its no fun if the reveal comes out of nowhere and doesn't make sense. But the time had finally come. One of the Powers had broken free from the ritual and was about to murder everyone, and my little ghost character was going to reveal himself to fight her so the players could escape. And right after my player had spoken the words that would free him and reveal a plotline that had been years in the making, my players roomate came into the room, walked across the room, disturbed my player and interupted me.... for a hug? I'm not sure what they were here for to be honest.

My players are all a very socially anxious bunch, so they all immediately clam up in front of the stranger, and... idk the moment just kinda fell flat. Nobody felt comfortable reacting to the moment. I know it's petty, but I had been looking forward to this moment for a long time and I was hoping for a bigger reaction, and I knew I would have gotten one if we hadn't been interupted.

It didn't help that once the roomate left one of my players proceeded to tell me about how they had known for ages, that they had even written the idea down in their notes, and that they had predicted this ages ago. Which, fine, good for you, I had been dropping hints for ages, but idk. Normally I would have been happy for them but in that moment it just kinda stung.

The rest of the session went well, and all the players had fun, but idk. I'm still kinda disappointed. And for such a petty reason too. I'll get over it, but for now I just wanted to scream into the void, y'know? If you made it this long, thanks for reading.

As title says; what's some little shit you realized about D&D after playing it for entirely too long that you had been getting wrong? Obviously there's stuff like "Oh so that's how Wish works. Huh." where it's some often misunderstood or overlooked complex feature interaction or whatnot.

I'm talking "Oh, apparently Elves are like 4 to 5 feet tall on average plus or minus a few inches." when I've been assuming they're these tall, thin, imperious looking figures like from LOTR the entire time BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY'RE FUCKING DEPICTED IN OFFICIAL ARTWORK TOO.

im all for not doing min maxed stats for a character but theres definitely a line right? i have a player thats a cleric and really wants wisdom to be their dump stat and cant for the life of me figure out why. ive given them a chance to change their stats around, they dont want it, but are also bummed that 9 times out of 10 his save or suck spells do nothing, which they cast a lot of. they say they have a plan but i think the "plan" is me give them a magic item(s) to not make them suck which i feel like would just be rewarding a bad playstyle thats honestly bringing down the whole party

I just don't get it, this game lets you make anything and so often the people I play with say they want to be some existing character. If I had a nickel for every time someone told me they wanted to play as Rick Sanchez I'd be able to afford minis, I once ran a game with two separate Jojo's characters, recently I was convinced to dm an isekai campaign and the friend who convinced me to do it's character is Freddy Fazbear, I- I refuse to believe this is just because people aren't creative or think its funny, what is causing this?

Hécate was once a poor peasant, caring for her father as he slowly withered from smallpox.

Every morning, she would walk deep into the forest, gathering herbs to ease his fever: roots, leaves, anything that might buy him one more night.

But in the eyes of the villagers, she was not a daughter trying to save her father.

She was something else.

A strange woman.

A solitary figure.

A witch.

They whispered about her “potions.”

They feared what they didn’t understand.

And one night, they burned her home to the ground.

Her father did not survive.

Hécate fled into the forest, with nothing left but grief and silence.

But the forest did not reject her.

It welcomed her.

There, she was found by a coven of witches . women who understood loss, who spoke the quiet language of things that fade and return.

Since then, Hécate has walked a path few dare to follow.

She no longer fears death.

SHe listens to it.

She understands it.

And sometimes…

She speaks with it.

(If anyone’s interested, I do fantasy character commissions)

Hi, there.

Here is a drawing I made of this Grung Warrior I created.

Not sure how I can present this guy, and the images usually come to me before the story the little I know is that he is born in a smollll village on a lake. His parents are both peasants that work for a rice farm lord. He is a shy guy that work as a soldier for who pays the most. But he does have his value code, derived by the teachings of his parents. So money is not everything for him.

Yes, I know, very simple and mehh, but I will work that better later on.

Hope you like it

From left to right: Dewidah the deva Shaman/Warlord(hybrid), Strype the gnoll Warlock/Executioner(hybrid), Dr. Hargreave the human Fighter/Wizard(multiclass, and Margot the elf Wizard who is the newest member and played by me!

Currently we are at level 9 and finally on the return trip for the current quest, after a few setbacks including at least one shipwreck and getting caught in the middle of a massive invasion at least twice.
