Our party had the wonderful experience of seeing themselves in the newspaper at the next kingdom over... sort of. A few details may have gotten lost in translation.

Our vain kitsune bard/ cleric got reduced from 9 tails to a measly 3, not to mention the whole orange fox feet thing. She is very particular about her minty coloring.

Kaido our beloved human ranger/ pirate captain, known for being the shoeless wonder, has been horribly maimed with sparkling pink cowboy boots.

Dorian the grizzled detective rogue got the Zuko treatment concerning his burn scar, but is otherwise quite amused at the whole thing.

Nikita the gnoll Hunter has unfortunately become the target of some very prejudicial depictions of gnoll kind. They even forgot her giant sword.

And Barty the cat. Tiny quick stabbing thing? Must have been a gnome.

This is Saella! She’s a Yuan-Ti who was born with two snake tails instead of one snake tail or two human legs. This is pretty uncommon, and gives her a hard time moving around, so she uses many different mobility aids. She’s a freshman at the Calderon Academy for Gifted Adventurers, and an NPC my players will encounter in Saved by the Spell!

I posted her in some other subs and it sparked some really cool conversations about disabilities and dnd!

(Now with images. And a 400 character description. I hope.)

My son’s friend gave this to him for his 15th birthday. It’s a dice hammer with a full fancy dice set built into the handle.

My son plays D&D and wanted to hang it on his wall as soon as he opened it. I wanted to share it with the dnd community. It seems really special. My older brother used to play dnd when I was little (he suffered from depression and so, well, isn’t around to play it anymore) but it makes my heart sing to see something cool and something so special just transcend time..

Another one of my sketch commissions from 2024.
Ragara is not only an adventurer but also the owner of a winery producing excellent wines. She also has the cute paws typical of her custom race. It's a shame they're not visible in the portrait, haha xD

Character: Ragara Fiamme
Owner: Tablesalt

PS
If you'd like, you can order a drawing of your character by me. Commissions are open again now ^^ Detailed information and links to my other social media accounts can be found in the pinned post on my page

i put "arrest" in quotes because i know doing something like this can end in either two ways: a big fight with the guards or jailbreak later.

For some backstory we are close to the end of the bbeg arch of the campaign. One of the party members assaulted and interrogated a member in the kings high court that was helping the party because he withheld personal information that wasn't at all relevant to the mission. for some reason i personally cant wrap my head around they felt so betrayed and angry adter finding this info that one they got back they imminently hunted down this NPC and demanded answers. After they left the castle according to the parties own words they "burnt that bridge" yet they are confident that they will come get them once the next step of the plan is.in action. The court already has a replacement.

I told my friend what happened and they recommended i try and arreat the party for assaulting one of the kings court member and overwall being very disruptive while at the castle.

i dont want to arrest them, but i feel like there should be some kind of punishment for what they've done. so far they have not faced really any consequence.

i am not trying to punish the player here, just introduce in world consequences.

In an AD&D 2nd Edition game where I was the Dungeon Master, the players decided to cross a mountain pass. The problem was that a terrible snowstorm was approaching, and the pass itself was basically a natural maze of rock formations.
ALL the NPCs repeatedly warned the players that crossing during the storm and without a guide was suicide, but they were convinced everyone was exaggerating.

On top of that, they didn’t bring any special cold‑weather gear, no firewood, no extra provisions, NOTHING…
And of course, they refused to make a map. I suggested it several times, but they didn’t listen.

I should clarify that we were using some homebrew rules, including “stamina points,” which the players (by this point already very lost in the mountain labyrinth) were slowly losing. If stamina reached zero, the character collapsed, unable to move on their own, and began losing hit points. Since they were all low‑level characters, their stamina wasn’t very high to begin with.

One of them had the idea to use the “keep one hand on the wall” maze‑traversing technique, and the others thought it was brilliant… but that technique doesn’t work once you’re deep inside the labyrinth.
This caused them to walk in circles through the same section of the maze over and over and over again.

When one of the players hit zero stamina, everyone panicked and a big argument broke out… and they eventually decided to make camp.
My heart almost broke when I asked them what firewood they planned to use.

—“Aren’t there any trees?!”
—“I’ve told you like twenty times that the place is bare rock with NO vegetation whatsoever.”

At that point, I even considered using the forbidden tool: It Was All Just a Dream.

Long story short, I wasted the little time we had to play DnD that week watching the characters die in a very slow and very stupid way, listening to lots of complaints and arguments, and watching everyone roll up new characters.
And of course, to some of the players, I was “the one who killed their characters.”

I ended up taking a break from DMing for a while; it really killed my motivation.
Luckily, another player wanted to try being the DM.

Toothpick Busywort, The Goblin Artificer

While she was a newborn goblin, she was taken away from her clan during a goblin culling led by an adventurer party. The adventurers, who didn’t feel like killing a literal baby, dropped her off in the Gnome community. Dodging responsibility by handing off a goblin baby to the people that conscripted the party to kill the goblins in the first place. What could go wrong?

Turns out, not a whole lot. The Busywort family opted to raise her, naming her Toothpick based on her two unusually long canines she used to naw on various objects during childhood. While surrounded by the gnome lifestyle and culture, she channeled her base gremlin mode to learning more about crafting, magic, and everything in between. She received a basic education and, although she was very bright, some members in the community didn’t consider her an intellectual equal. Toothpick became more than a little defensive when her intelligence came into question. Never quite getting violent with the other gnomes but it was never a pretty sight when she started to spit obscenities.

Toothpick heard a rumor that the provincial human government was looking to take back the wilds from the last demon incursion. Feeling a way to prove her intelligence, along with a treasure map she found in her family library, she set off with her various inventions and makeshift rifle. If the mission to expand civilization were assisted by her tools, then those “rotten dung-eaters” back home won’t have anything to latch onto. All she needs is a party to protect her, carry her things, and kill the various wild creatures trying to eat her.

Howdy folks!

Aaand we're back good and proper!

Some news if you missed it, I previously mentioned that I'd applied to table at Gencon this year. Sadly I didnt get a spot but we'll see if I find another con to apply to, preferably something late in the year (for a number of reasons, primarily the birth of my secondborn in April).

Stay tuned and stay excellent out there!

Oh, casual reminder that there's still time to become a Late Backer on the collected volume kickstarter!

Peace and Carrots!

My 40k fancomic Rogue's Retinue: Rogue's Retinue

I made a romantic, adults-only D&D one-shot designed for couples

The Trial of Hearts is a short adventure meant to be played by two people: one DM, one player, as a fun, flirty date-night RPG.

It includes:

• 16-page illustrated adventure
• 4 hand-drawn color maps
• 2 custom “paper doll” character sheets
• Mini-games and romantic prompts
• A cheeky home-brew system where clothing/armor tracks HP

Everything is 100% hand-drawn with no AI artwork.

Perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or just trying something new with your favorite adventuring partner.

I'm hoping some more adventurous adult players will give it a shot! If you’re interested, you can check it out on my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/trial-of-hearts-123432803?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link
