GinnyDi posted a video about player x DM contracts that she inspired herself to do after seeing Aabria doing it. Explaining it as quick as possible:

When the moment ask for it, when your roll will either cause the biggest impact narrativaly or when you already failed, Aabria will ask you "What would you give me for you roll to be a sucess?" or "How many NPCs are you willing to sacrifice for X thing?". I watched this today and I was like "cool, I need to test it sometime.

I didn't expected the sometime to be so early. I'm running CoS to my players and the today's encounter was VERY clearly supposed to make them run. Last session they had a hard time killing 2 werewolves. Today there were FOUR.

Even then they decided to stand their ground. Round 1, one player was already unconscious and another one was at half HP. It was going to be a TPK. And the funniest part is that the CoS:R itself tells you during Session 0 to warn your players that "Some fights are impossible to win. That's by design. Sometimes running isn't an option. It's the option." (which I did)

Well... my players didn't get the memo and after 2 rounds they were full on desperation mode. One of them decided to try persuading the werewolves to let them leave using the fact that he was infected with lycanthropy. Instead of asking for a Persuasion check, I just put my best scary DM voice and said:

"Kayron... what do you offer me for your persuasion to succeed?"

He thought for a few seconds and answered:

"I offer that I won't cure it through easy means like magic or clerics. I'll only get rid of it through a narratively satisfying way."

I just said "Deal." Not gonna lie... for a brief moment I felt like Aabria.
They were saved by this, but now I'm gonna start thinking of ways to do a good "Werewolf Cure Arc" lol

Sprig is part of a Curse of Strahd campaign. She's a massive bookworm who is particularly interested in the history and arcana of Barovia, especially after being isekai'd there via the mists. She's generally well-intentioned, but she's not above thievery when it comes to growing her library of books. This thievery has gotten her in some hot water as of late, as she tried to steal from a certain swamp hag in Berez. Her fighting style of choice is a combination of the magic she's learned and a more goblin-y, scrappy dual scimitar style.

I wanted her to be cute, but in a sort of ugly way, and still decidedly goblin-y (no shade at all the great art of hot goblins).

Made in Blender and Substance 3D Painter.

(Also I rolled an 18 in INT and 16 in DEX yippee!)

Hey folks, my commissions for pixel character cards are open, DM if interested!

Here's a little backstory for this character:

Flame is a human fighter and the daughter of a blacksmith, raised in the heat of the forge and the rhythm of the hammer. Before his death, her father poured a fragment of his soul to the blade as the metal erupted in cold blue fire a final promise that she would never face the world alone. After his death, she took the sword and left their quiet village behind, not merely to see the world, but to give her father's lingering spirit purpose, seeking out battles where the helpless needed a blade and letting the blue flame guide her toward a destiny forged in love and loss.

I wrote this character as part of the campaign I'm running, my players came across her as they teamed up to help a village from a cursed plague.

Solar Argus, a very fun dragonborn with a big dinosaur vibe! Very cool one to do and loved the big tails as well and the arms armor. It's not completly commun i will say to have dragon with dinosaures details but i think it's a good match.
I really enjoyed making his tail and the weapons as well. Maybe more dragonborns like him will come in the future... who knows. And the golden arms, kinda cool, really love the idea, the idea of a really good concept armor or a living metal or something with a curse... good ideas for a DnD Campaign.

For my next character I would love to have an eyepatch. I dont know much about the world yet but that we will all start in the basic village we live in.

Now what are reasons people lose an eye, apart from cancer

My 2 ideas are: fell and poked it with like wood or sth as a kid or i never lost an eye, it just looks cool

Pls give some more ideas, since none of mine make me 100% happy

Update (a whole 20 mins later lol): I love the ideas of 1. Not actually knowing how I lost it and 2. Saying something different everytime I'm asked. So my character doesn't actually know how she lost her eye, but for the fun (and mystery) of it gives a different reason everytime asked, but never actually admits that she has no idea

From the deepest abyss, where light has never reached, these dice carry a fragment of an ancient nightmare. Encased within crystal-clear resin, twisted tentacles drift through swirling black and smoky gray, as if an unfathomable entity still stirs beneath the surface. The metallic silver numbers gleam like moonlight reflected on a restless sea, revealing just enough to awaken curiosity—and dread.

Legend speaks of forgotten cults that believed fate itself could be rewritten with relics touched by beings older than civilization. Every roll is more than chance; it is a whisper from the depths, a temptation to seek forbidden knowledge at the risk of losing your sanity. Whether you're uncovering unspeakable horrors, investigating impossible mysteries, or descending into cosmic madness, these handcrafted dice bring an unforgettable atmosphere to every game.

Crafted for investigators, storytellers, and lovers of eldritch horror, this unique set is more than a gaming accessory—it's an artifact from a world where some secrets were never meant to be discovered.

I've DM'd for my group of friends for about 6-7 years and now i'm finally on the player seat for a long term campaign (Hoard of the dragon queen).

We're about 10 sessions in and being on this side of the table made a problem i always had with my friends a little more clear: their characters don't have any flaws and ALWAYS go for the most optimal decision possible, no matter what their characters are.

One big aspect of DnD (and any other roleplaying games) for me is how we can build these heroes with both strenghts and weaknesses.

It's a little hard to explain, but playing with them sometimes feels like we're playing Baldur's Gate, where everyone is constantly trying to figure out the "correct" choice that leads to the easiest or most optimal outcome. As a result, their characters often feel like different versions of the same archetype: the nice hero who always makes the right decision.

On the other hand, I'm usually thinking about which choices best align with my character's traits, flaws, and personality, and how those choices can help them grow and change, even if they create conflict or make things more difficult

For now, I'm just going along with it. Whenever I make a decision that could create tension, I always check with the other players out of character to make sure everyone's okay with it, because I don't want to become the "it's what my character would do" guy, but i wanted to hear from the community and see if anyone had any advice for me.
