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.

Been trying to find a "bff" group for years. Even the best groups I found fizzled out after a campaign ended. Most people seem to want a content creator to run games for them, and not a friend they want to share an experience with.

I figured you know what, fine. I'm gonna sell myself. I started running paid games and now I actually feel like I'm finally actually getting something back for my work and effort.

10/10, would recommend for underappreciated DMs

My DM absolutely broke me this session.

My characters (a bard) parents were killed for their musical instruments. She has mudered the killers, and is now seeking answers as to why they were killed in the first place. We had an awesome combat round where my character finally locates her mother's lyre. A voice echoed out after touching the lyre and my dm had a recording ready. I was so excited to hear the lore. As soon as I heard the voice my face and heart just fell.

It was my long distance best friend (who I NEVER get to see) playing my characters mother. I couldn't contain myself when she started saying how much my I (my character) means to her and she's sorry she didn't get to tell me more about our life story. She ended with "Never forget, we love you so so much" and I was a ball of tears and snot on the floor.

I love my DM 🥹❤️

Andreyl had come to a final decision. She looked at the sapphire in her hand and closed her eyes. “This will take me where I want to go”. She squeezed the Ghost Lily in her hand, channelling her Mithra through it. In a flash, her surroundings disappeared and she emerged surrounded by crushing waters. Her eyes still closed, water filled her lungs and she succumbed to the depths.

Erinome Chamomile who was on a journey to the surface world suddenly heard a huge detonation in the territory she was swimming through. She thought about fleeing as fast as possible and simply continuing her pilgrimage, but curiosity gripped her and almost involuntarily, she felt her body begin to turn in the direction of the strange disturbance. When she got to the location of the sound, there was nothing out of the ordinary in the terrain, however, she noticed a lune elven woman floating there, still. Just before dashing over to the woman, Erinome couldn’t help but notice the peaceful look on the woman’s young face. Erinome used her limited hydrokinesis to create a bubble that water would no longer penetrate. She stabilised the woman and then continued her journey with the lune elf in her arms. Maintaining her bubble all the while for the elf’s sake.

The two emerged from the ocean onto a beach of soft pearlescent sand. Erinome sat with the elf until she came to.

Andreyl shot up, her eyes darted around, her vision was white. She was blind. The ground felt rough beneath her. She was dazed and confused. Then her eyes began to adjust and she saw the glaring sun and bright white sand beneath her. Then, a Markain woman sitting cross legged just in front of her.

“What’s happening”, Andreyl sputtered.

“You were deep in the waters. But I don’t think you can breathe in the water, so I brought you with me”, Erinome replied with a smile.

Andreyl leapt at Erinome, she wrapped her arms around her in an enormous embrace. She could feel the warmth of Erinome’s cheek on hers. Andreyl pulled away, tears in her eyes. Some rolling down her face.

Erinome smiled, though a little awkwardly and confused. “I’m glad you’re still alive”

“So am I” Andreyl said looking to the sun. “What a lovely thing it is to fail…”

Sura Showing Around her Underclassmate Neket

Sura showing her cute kōhai (underclassmate) around, and she’s none other than Neket, my moon elf illusionist wizard who will grow to become a renowned (mis)adventurer!

Characters: Sura of the Half Moon and Neket, Moon Elf Wizards

Sura is a young wizard from Timinhur, an elven island city-state known for its strong ties to the moon. For three decades now, she has been studying magic at the High Observatory during the cold and long winters of Timinhur. However, when the days grow longer and summer is around the corner, Sura puts down her quill and gets ready to enjoy some careless fun down at Moonlit Reef, where the legendary moonwalker bards indulge in all of life’s finer pleasures all year round.

Even if it is for a few weeks each year, Sura leaves the High Observatory and her strict schedule behind to moonwalk with the careless bards, enjoying simple pleasures while relaxing her body and preparing her spirit for another year of rigorous magical studies. Every year, she returns with a scandalous tan, a wide smile on her face, and many stories to share.

Neket is a gifted young wizard from Timinhur, an elven city with strong ties to the moon. She has studied all schools of magic but has a certain inclination towards illusion magic that twists the perception of reality and dazzles the senses.

After remaining trapped in a cryophagus for sixteen years, Neket had to flee Timinhur to escape the Selenian Idea, an ambitious coup that turned her nation into a sterile and oppressive regime, and transformed most of its people into spellforged constructs, able to survive on the barren moon of Naam.

Now on the run, Neket must rely on unlikely allies to remain free and perhaps find a way to help more of her people escape the oppression of the Selenian Idea.

About the Theomachy setting:

In Theomachy, vengeful gods fight each other for ultimate control of the universe, while the mortals of Naam struggle for power on a dying world. Divine magic is a force without expressed will that the warring gods hoard and wield against each other, threatening to undo the entire world. Clerics and paladins are either devout followers of the warring gods or theomachists who fight against the gods, liberating divine magic and using it against them.

What do you think? :)

Currently in a campaign I am playing with 4 other people (party of 4 + GM), I have noticed each week that my GM is bringing homebrew to our game, which I have no problem with, their homebrew is balanced, and honestly fun to play with at the table, but they have been letting 1 of the players do ridiculous things, This player is a fighter and wanted to play both Battle-master, and Eldritch knight which I was already surprised by, as idk if multiclassing 3 times for different subclasses is even allowed, but now they are saying that because they have 3 fighters, they get 2 action surges, or 2x the amount of extra attack, and it is honestly ruining game emersion, especially when we fight a well made boss connected to the plot with an actually fun premise, and they do an attack every half second and defeat it in 1-2 turns, I am all for homebrewing, but How do I convince my GM and, most importantly, my fellow party members who are also having problems with this, to actually stop this, and how do I actually stop this from happening?

Feels like with the addition of more and more subclasses, there's just very little definition between the classes nowadays. I know that's fun and flexible, but does anyone else kinda miss the more defined archetypes? I'm finding myself wanting to play games where a Fighter is a fighter, and a wizard actually wizards. Kinda sick of every game someone turning up with a multiclassed obscure-raced character with whole bunch of new traits to keep track of.
(God I feel like some sort of right-wing nationalist lamenting the loss of the Good ol' days when "men were men")

I don’t know if it’s just the people I’m around but nobody ever seems to care to play monk which is very wild to me.

I kind of get it, there’s a bunch of classes that can sometimes miss the spotlight; like how Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, Paladin and Barbarian always straight forward in what they’re doing or what their gimmick is and monk can tend to not be apart of that spotlight sometimes, but anyway that’s just my opinion and it’s overall irrelevant for this next bit.

I rarely ever see anyone play a monk, there’s always a wizard, a fighter, a cleric, maybe a warlock or a bard but reading someone is playing as or with a monk in their campaign brings a tear to my eye.

It was the first ever class I played (way of shadow) In my first big campaign and I loved every bit of it, I played a second campaign and went as a cleric which I enjoyed a fair bit too but campaign 3 has come up and I just couldn’t resist going back to monk again.

Genuinely such a fun class to play, I love the versatility and ways you can go about helping your team whether it’s combat oriented, support based, etc

Need more love for monks in the world, waiting for the day someone in my campaign goes to play a monk and I pass the legacy down to them.
