I've drawn a lot of DnD characters over the years (for both personal and commission use), but recently I've decided to try my hand on pets since I've always had a soft spot for animal companions when playing. I tend to use random name generator for my characters, but since this is my first time posting: Why don't you guys give him one for me? Comment below what you think he should be called

Once, House Truelege were the proud keepers of the Heliant Anchor -- a colossal, magical sunflower that stabilized the wild magic of their lands. Their motto was straightforward: "We turn only to the Light." But as centuries passed, the Anchor demanded more and more sacrifices, draining their lands into a withered wasteland.

Driven by the desperate nobility of a dying house, the last heir, Rosemund Auguste, donned his family's ancient Star Bronze armor and journeyed into the Arcane Wastelands to find raw arcanum to heal his home. He couldn't fathom what he would find instead...

In a disastrous battle against a plague of Crimson Rot, a volatile magical explosion fused Auguste to his ancestral plate. The armor's bronze sunflower crest wilted, sinking metallic roots into his ribs, while the ancient metal oxidized into a corpse-green patina. His velvet cloak melted into his skin as he begged the Elven gods for a swift death, but the wasteland refused. Instead, glowing twilight mycelium stitched his ruined organs together, keeping him alive in perpetual agony.

Driven by the primal instinct similar to a dying sunflower seeking water, Auguste threw himself into the ocean to drown and find death on his own terms...

But the rot inside him didn't need air. He drifted for days as a living statue of weeping bronze and rotting flesh, eventually washing ashore in the filthy harbor of a distant slum. Paralyzed by exhaustion, he watched the morning sun reflect on the water. It reminded him of his home, replacing his desire to die with a desperate, burning rage.

He is still alive. And as long as he breathes, he can still turn to the light.

Obviously, inspired by Elden Ring & Nightreign -- and adatped into our D&D setting :>

I, uh, know Twilight Clerics are often frowned upon, but I was suggested that as a class which is appropriately powerful for such a concept -- besides, it fits thematically well into his goddess of choice -- Sehanine, who has two sides, Sun and Moon, light and twilight. His house is favored by the Sun side of the goddess, while in crisis, it turned out Moon side favored him as well.

I have a lot of characters with respective arts so excited to share more!

The idea came about completely by accident. I wanted to draw a simple drawing of drow wearing a tiara for our Curse of Strahd board (sorry I don't know how to attach that sketch to the post), but my party members looked at the sketch and unanimously said, "What tiara? That's a unibrow..."

And then I started thinking: what if.....?

Someone already commented that this was way too much effort for a simple silly joke, but on the other hand, I can already see that this portrait has made a lot of people happy :')

Got the opportunity to try something a bit different with a client this week! Here’s the vibe we were going for:

“Absolutely zero chance this ends without someone starting a brawl outside the tavern. The bard insisted on a party selfie. The paladin is questioning every life choice, the goliath is trying way too hard to fit in the frame, the artificer swears the camera is enchanted, the druid is quietly concerned for environmental implications, and the rogue is hiding everyone's snacks.”

Definitely one of the most challenging drawings I’ve done. Had a blast working on it though, and the players are super happy with the result!

This is Neon She is my D&D character She is an undead, and she lost her memory about when she was alive, and she doesn't really remember her past (mostly about how she died)... but she was a high born katari and she mostly spent her time away from her family in the Dark Forest and practiced magic She died in that forest for some unknown reasons When the rest of the D&D party was passing by there, a lightning bolt suddenly struck Neon's corpse, and she was revived. She then decided to join the rest of the D&D party and be part of their group...

She is an Elemental Sorcerer, and her main element is electricity. She has a whispering orb that follows her around (that blueberry-like thing that looks like it's on fire in the picture) She is very fast, and her weapons are a quarterstaff and a scepter...

Personality:

She is very playful and silly, and she doesn't easily trust strangers

to start off with, I have comically bad luck. Ive rolled a 1 on a d500 three times. I rolled a 1 on a d20 three times in a row. This haunts me actively in anything DnD related from character interactions to fights lol.

we had a session zero as some people didn’t have fully figured out characters and some needed to leave early, those who could stay got to poke around at a market and get first dibs on stuff there, our remaining party members decided to go to get lunch which was the equivalent of Mexican food I think.

my character is deathly allergic to pineapples, as I had based them off of a non dnd character I liked with the help of a friend (dm figured me out fast and found it funny, dont worry lol)

my friends character was a birdfolk who had a raven familiar who spoke for them. they got some food that did have pineapple. the raven familiar ate it and did that bird thing of slapping it on the table and shaking it around, getting juice n stuff everywhere.

I made a joke along the lines of

’lol should I roll to dodge the pineapple thats being sent flying everywhere ?’ and the dm said I could if I wanted to. my friend was hyping me up to do so.

naturally I did. and of course, natural 1.

everyone went so silent and my friend who was hyping me up gave me the blankest stare. dm turned to him and asked him to roll for attack.

i think he got a 16 with + 2 so 18.

character went into a BAD anaphylactic shock and their party member attempted to do CPR with pineapple still on them. don’t remember how I survived but somehow I did.

my character then also had to later drag the birdfolk back into a pub to the room we got because he got blackout drunk and passed out in a gutter lol.

sadly the game never got far due to planning and people not showing but it was fun while it lasted

After beating Descent into Avernus, our Party was asked for their Group name and a Poster to honour their name!

This is in german, but it translates to "The Hand" with each member being a finger of the Hand:
Toran, the Protecting Hand.
Kaz'rak, the Glorious Hand.
Holly, the Witching Hand.
Krakkan, the Secret Hand.
And Astraea, the Healing Hand.

I even made prints of this and handed them out as a memento to my fellow players! They loved it. I hope you like it too!

Just found this embarrassing in one of the games I ran, wanted to vent. The campaign is off the Twisted Taverns book, and they're going from high fantasy tavern to tavern, collecting the items this drunk archwizard left at the various bars. Since they teleport between taverns, the tavern they transported to was an aquatic one. So... they immeadiately start drowning in an underwater bar.

In my head, the thought was the octopus barkeep, seeing landlubber adventurers drown in his bar, not for the first time, begrudgingly grabs rebreathers off the wall and tries to stick them on the adventurers faces.

My adventurers, confused/disoriented and rolled low on perception, only noticed a tentacle trying to shove something into their mouth. They attempt to escape. They roll high, succeed. They're still drowning. Bartender chases after them. Doesn't want them to hurt themselves so would try to restrain... at that point I was realizing. No one speaks octopus because why the hell would that be a thing? (The octupus bartender was FROM THE BOOK, I didn't choose that character, it was just there)

There was this moment of the game kind of stopping, like no one made moves and looked at me, while my brain knew "oh" from the looks, I didn't know how to resolve it. I just said "I think there might be a... thought about this situation. Trust me, it's not that thought. Play it through?"

TLDR Most of my friends thought I was fanfic'ing tentacle porn.

My players made a great effort to stealth and rescue a key character from being burned alive from a fanatic mayor. They managed to do that by disguising as guards and handling one of the players as a prisoner. They failed a few checks and a guard identified the player being held as an important Wanted character. So, the players managed to save the npc prisoner, while the actual guards brought forth the player to be burned alive first. The player managed to roll a nat 20 to read his last words but it was actually the fire resistance scroll (I had to reward the thought and the nat 20). We ended on that note, so it was kind of an epic cliffhanger.

Now...from here I don't know how to move forward. How would you handle this situation? And how would you as a player want this to be handled? I feel like being burned alive like that is such a waste, but making him fully fire proof feels cheap and OP. Maybe make it a time thing? where players have to find a way to rescue him in like 30 minutes or he dies?

My players theorized a lot about what is going to happen and believe that he will survive due to the resistance and be announced as innocent since the holy fire burns only those who are actually guilty of crimes.

Would love to hear thoughts on this.
