Deep in the caverns, there was once an unlucky merchant who fell victim to an ancient curse. His body twisted into a grotesque aberration, and his craving for wealth gave way to a hunger for flesh. Now, he wanders the dark, waiting for careless adventurers to quench his thirst for blood.
Legend has it, it's possible to negotiate with it and even trade... But no one is here to confirm. Maybe you, stranger, know something about this wretch? Don't be shy, tell us.

One of my players say they want to make a new character. He says I can execute his character in public to pay for his party’s transgression against the king. I said ok.

At the beginning I described the scene. At that moment the rest of the players decided they will walk up and kneel beside their friend accept the punishment together.

I can’t- I just did not expect that. I ended the session early. I have never felt so emotional as a story teller.

So this is something I kinda convinced a few of my friends to do too when they DM, but it started out when I had a fighter roll like shit on HP, and thought “man fuck it, no more rolling unless the player wants it, it’s a pain in all our asses more times then it’s fun, we’re just gonna use max HP for convenience”. Because i figured it’s easier for me to keep track of player health as I don’t need to wonder what they rolled i just gotta know their level and con plus if they got tough and/or Dwarfish resilience, if they lose or damage a sheet we know the HP automatically, and it makes frontliners like paladin and barbarian feel more threatening as they have lots of HP. It also helps players who play squishy classes not die immediately so they can enjoy the game. I’ve had people be confused about this before or surprised people, is it really that weird?

A commission I made for a shy, mysterious druid. Since the client gave me a lot of liberty to explore the design, I had much fun making this one c:

The character itself was supposed to camouflage herself in nature, with big curly green hair and a mask made out of a tree trunk. The design was made trying to make her as similar to a tree as possible, with the brown skirt and voluminous hair. Really proud of this one!

"The forest was covered in snow, a white sea were red stains of blood recently spilled. Steel and theet both found their way into their armors, and no shield served them well enough to make it out of there. The cold sun was rising, but more foes would soon arrive: there was no time. The Oath was almost fulfilled".

Hi all, I recently worked on this illustration and wanted to share it here, hope it will inspire you something, and that you will enjoy it!

I really liked to work on it, since setting the scene in a snow covered forest with a knight and a dragon covered in blood would have create a cool and strong contrast with white and red to narrate what happened, or let one imagine it at least!

I am a ttrpgs illustrator, oriented on fantasy and dark fantasy genres.

I am open for commissions and to work on projects, so feel free to DM me if you want some art like that one I shared.

Thanks a lot for taking a look!

Albrecht Ssashal is a cursed human (mechanically akin to a Yuan-ti) wandering the world of Dragonlance, marked by both honor and betrayal. Once a high-ranking Knight of Solamnia, he abandoned his post after discovering that his own mentor was involved in a conspiracy that led to the death of his family. Now, he walks a path of vengeance, torn between his former ideals and the darkness within him.

His appearance reflects his transformation: shoulder-length brown hair streaked with gray, piercing yellow serpentine eyes, subtle fangs, and a bifurcated tongue. A faint scar stretches from the corner of his mouth toward his eye, and a short beard frames his hardened expression.

He wears worn but dependable dark plate armor beneath a long, hooded green cloak, keeping himself concealed. A neutral metal mask, forged from the same dark material as his armor, hides his face from the world. Armed with a shield and a finely crafted sword.

Ive really wanted to get into dnd for a while, and after triyng and failing to set up a campaign due to scheduling issues, i went to try and find an online group. I used groupfinder, and found a group without the "paid game"tag, meaning it would be free to join. after talking to the dm they sent me the list of rules: there were 10 rules, all seemed pretty standard and fair, except for the 8th one: "Character design requirement every player must get their character designed by the campaign official artist to keep the look consistent and professional the artist will charge a fixed amount which players must pay". after asking a bunch more questions about that rule they told me the payment is usally around 40-50$ via paypal, and when i asked if the price was negotiable they said yes and gave me the artist user to talk to. they accepted my request but i havent talked to them yet. While i dont mean to devalue artists, and i do think that pricing can be fair given u own the art and can use it, i find the requirment to pay a specific one strange. they say this is because they want all the art to be by the same guy so its consistent and professional but i think if im required to pay 40$ to play ur campaign regardless of the reason it should carry the "paid games" tag. id assume they just make the design price part of the fee to start playing and pay theyre artist themselves- So my question is: Is this common? is it a scam? am i exaggerating? im new to this space so im not sure what to think. thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any advice!
