Just had an experience on this sub where I was asking for general tips on how betrayal, revealed agendas, and other things should be handled in a campaign with intrigue.

I ended up feeling the need to delete that post since most of the answers were just non-advice that got pissy with me when I asked if there was anything more.

"Just do what your characters would do."

Yes, exactly. I know this. But I don't want my characters in an intrigue campaign to be limited by my ignorance. Please share any pointers for general behaviours/dealing with potential betrayal.

"Nope, get downvoted idiot."

The only person who gave me a decent, fun, interesting, and thought-provoking answer was Earthhorn. Almost everyone else just gave the most basic advice possible and acted like I was an idiot and an asshole for wanting more.

This was a discouraging experience. Please: if you don't have an answer to the question, it's better to not answer at all than to condescend on the person wanting help.

Edit: someone here has anonymously forwarded mental health resources to me. Believe me bro, I am trying.

So my characters are in a mission to rescue a kid from an orphenage run by a Hag. They are invited as guest for as long as they aren't breaking the rules, and one of the rule was "You are not to set a foot on the second floor."

So obviously they immediatly went to the second floor and used some clever tactics not to break the rules ( winged boots, fly spell, etc... )
Until one PC decided that the rule didn't matter and just started walking willy nilly on the floor.

It happened at the end of last session so I have tome to come up with something interesting. Would you have some interesting and thematic ideas on what curses might be inflicted upon them ?

( Funfact the character is already cursed because he ate some of the hag's food. The curse they got is now they have a set of teeths in their mouth that eats whatever they try to consume, so they get very little nurisment and are slowely dying of hunger. That's the kind of twist I want but it's hard to come up with one right now )

Last week I posted a picture of my modular bandit minis, this time i wanted to show a video with more of them and also how I assemble them using magnets! ^^

I tried to build my minis so they are super straightforward to assemble, but also looks more complicated then they are ? if that make senses? Honestly you don't need to put magnets but it makes for a good video ^^

Anyway the goal was to make the bandit in such a way I could make many different variations with just a small amount of pieces.

Enjoy!!

I love that you can still see the indents left by the many character sheets filled out on top of this old copy of Dragon Magazine from July 1983. It feels like a small link to the past. The characters may be long gone, but traces of those old games still remain more than 40 years later.

Wherever those players are today, I hope they’re doing well, and that at least a few of these characters survived.

Please enjoy my latest project. This is a passion project I worked on over the past few months, for funsies. I really wanted an application for IN-14 nixie tubes without doing the typical clock thing. So I pulled together some high voltage electronics, programmed a pi, spent a disgusting amount of time in solidworks and learning to use blender, and edited about 60x LOTR soundbites. This system is driven by a rechargeable 18650 cell and has an easy access panel in the rear. I'm boosting nearly everything to 5V, then further boosting the nixie tube inputs to 170V. A rotary encoder controls user inputs and dice size selection. The audio files are stored on external memory.

This system can roll D2 through D100, as well as multiples (I.e. 6x D8 at once, for example). Each roll corresponds to a list of possible audio files which scale based on the positivity or negativity of the result.

Overall just a really fun thing to make, and I already have some ideas for alternative designs. Pulled this out at my table tonight as a new "box of doom" for my players, during consequential rolls, and I think it was a hit. Stoked to use it!

Debating on if I will paint it at all. Open to suggestions.

RQ SHOUTOUT/CRED I did not draw the base body but stenciled it off of the og image "Eredin" by kartinaru on Pinterest. and then added in a few of my own edits and obviously a new color pallet, shading, lighting, background etc etc.

stats; idk still figuring it out

Getting in a feywild campaign soon and was allowed to make a Dhamphyr/Vampire son of Kannoth. I've been debating whether or not to make him something like an unwilling Oath of The Crown Paladin, Champion Fighter or maybe even an armored Hexblade haven't decided fully yet. I also thought of being generic and just naming my boy "Htonnak" because of course.

Class wonders aside I'm proud with how it turned out and I'm still new to drawing and using GIMP my only gripes with it is i wanted to try and show his fangs but couldn't get it right where I liked it, and I wish I could have made his eyes glow effect around his eye sockets a bit more present.

Quick shoot for his backstory idea. he's the bastard son of Kannoth and was born with a visage of a more monstrous or feral looking vampire with a mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth and undead pale eyes and no nose. Later in life he was tricked by the archfey into selling his own soul.

(Extra fluff for the backstory of why he sold his soul)
After his dad chucked him out into the real world at a young age but with a bit of illusion magic on his face to help with the whole being birthed f ugly thing, Decades later a "Coincidental" sickness took him. the price for his soul was getting to go see his at the time wife and children one last time. Kannoth however also took away the illusion so when he returned to his family they saw a monster with fangs bared and eyes pale and hollow. they chased the monster from the house and returned to their mourning. Kannoth then basically popped back and was like "Whelp thems the breaks pal" and took him into the feywild to serve as a knight, also to twist the knife a little Kannoth also made sure to give his kid the illusion spell back so he looks as he does in the image above again and not monstrously deformed.

Even though he said that he didn't see much, he still send some important stuff to himself. Now I... just don't feel like DM-ing anymore.

A couple of months ago I posted this https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/s/mUxwI7DhVY in this subreddit, and it got a lot of attention. In that post, a few people reached out to me saying that they wanted to start a new group. Most of them wanted to play an online campaign, but me being old school, I wanted to play in person. I was lucky enough that two of those people that reached out where in my same city. And with them, a friend of mine, and another guy, we've been playing a small adventure for the past five weeks.

And I'm happy to announce that it is working! I picked up an old adventure that I had written for a previous campaign and I never got to play because we never got there. It looks like the group has gelled well together, and now that the adventure is coming to an end (it was meant to be 3-7 sessions depending on progress), we are talking about what are we going to play next. I'm excited!

So for once, a post in D&D is not a rant, or a "there's a person tanking my game and I want to kick them out" or "I just want to quit a group, should I ghost the table". It looks like there are good players everywhere. Sometimes it's just hard to find them.

As a little bonus, I've attached one of the battlemaps we played during the adventure (I can't post more than one pic).

A few days ago, I had applied for a play-by-post campaign and contacted the DM. We had a chat about the character I wanted to play and he seemed to really like my concept. We spent a while fleshing out the backstory and connections that could be made to fit the character into the setting. And I left that meeting feeling like I made a decent impression.

The next day, I get an invite to the Discord server and was chatting with a few of the other players who got accepted, talking about the party comp (3 wizards, 1 sorc, and 1 rogue) and what we've been up to irl. I was still making adjustments to my character, which I was gonna post onto the server the next day after I finished.

Today, I was unable to reply in the morning since I had to go to work early. During my bathroom break, I checked my phone and noticed I was no longer in the server. I thought it was weird, maybe I got desynced or the internet where I worked was being iffy or I left the server via butt dial (seemed the least likely). So I rejoined the server and let the DM know about the situation before returning to work. When I looked back at my phone during my lunch break, I checked my phone and realized I was no longer in the server again. This time, the DM sent a message and told me he kicked me intentionally. He talked about how we had different momentums and thought it would be best if I searched for a different campaign to be a part of. I told him to enjoy his campaign but also asked if he could elaborate and so far, he’s been ghosting me.

I’m not exactly sure what he meant by “momentum” and still don’t really understand. From what I saw before I lost access to the server, only one person had their character finished. I had spent a lot of time working on my character too and was really looking forward to the campaign, especially with the amount of attention the DM and I had put into fleshing out the character a few days prior. I’m a bit disappointed, especially since his first resort was to just kick me rather than explain or give me a warning.

TL;DR: Joined a PBP campaign with a friendly DM, got kicked with no explanation. Rejoined and kicked again, with the DM's reasoning that we had different momentums.

EDIT: Thank you all for the advice! I still haven’t heard back from the DM and I doubt I will anytime soon. Think I’ll take a break from applying online for DnD atm. But I’m definitely gonna keep this character in the archives for when I’m ready to try again.
