It honks before it charges.

I’m not sure it knows where it’s going.

I imagine it’s the kind of creature that shows up in a dungeon and completely ruins the party’s sanity rather than actually dealing damage. The noise alone would be enough to throw off any plan, and the unpredictability makes it worse the longer it stays around.

It doesn’t feel malicious. Just… persistent. Like it exists only to disrupt whatever the party is trying to do, one bad decision at a time.

If this showed up in your campaign, how would you run it?

There was this ghost my D&D group had to kill in the mayors mansion and right before we went to kill the ghost one of my friends asks the mayor to hold his beer because we just came from the tavern. The mayor then promises that he’ll help in any way we can if we manage to kill this ghost. We then go into the mayors mansion and we end up killing the ghost pretty easily. My friend that asked the mayor to hold his beer then goes back to the mayor and asks for the beer back. Turns out the mayor had drank the beer while we were fighting the ghost, but instead of him just asking for a new beer he decided to throw the empty beer glass at the mayor. The mayor then gets mad, we don’t get the alliance we needed, he gets the guards to escort us out of the mansion, the happiness tracker goes down by two (which is how the DM measures how much the towns like us), and the DM tells us that if he hadn’t thrown the beer then the mayor would’ve been willing to do anything we wanted. Also I forgot that the mayor’s reason for drinking the beer was that he “didn’t think the party was gonna come back alive.” So yeah the mayor was also being a jerk too

I played Falion in a long running Phandelver campaign. It was my first full campaign, and the one I remember the most.

He started as a ranger, but over time his path shifted toward druidism, becoming a Shepherd of the wild.

This character means a lot to me, both for the story and the people I met along the way.

Hi everyone my name is Will and I'm woodturner from Florida! I do it for fun but this is a piece I made for one of my best friends. It was my first time attempting to make dice which I casted in my own resin mix with real diamonds and sterling silver flakes mixed in. The metal components are antique pewter and the crystal at the end is a tigers eye opal. I made the blanks by hand which I turned down on my lathe and I polished it with a liquid glass 800,000 grit finish! I made a nice wooden case for it but my friend didn't put it in the picture haha. I hope y'all like it and I'd you have any questions please feel free to ask! The components are supposed to be a dragon on the clip, it's claw grabbing the center band and dragon scales where the nib extends!

I made the mistake of rolling to generate loot from a pirate ship and managed to give the party a Talisman of Ultimate Evil. No, I did not read the full description of the item. Yes, the party used it to one-shot a major boss that I had planned. Yes, it finally succeeded after burning through LRs.

"The flame of a torch lights up the night. A wandering knight hold it, the horned helmet whipped by the snow and the icy wind. There are signs of some battle, red stains in the white snow, so the magic runes on his steel start to pulse. Ghosts, pale figures in the night, begins to appear in his path. The tower is no longer as far away as before, but they’re too much. Or so they think…".

I experimented something with colors and new things I studied for, so hope you will like this art as much as I did working on it!

Hi everyone!

Recently, I posted here asking for feedback on my art style and whether it fit D&D because a friend I play with had commissioned me. At the time, I was feeling a bit insecure, thinking my 'storybook' look wouldn't match the D&D vibe. To my surprise, I was so warmly welcomed and received so much encouragement from this community! That really gave me the courage to officially open for commissions.

The image I’m sharing is one of those first pieces. Our whole party decided to adapt anime characters into D&D classes, and this one is my friend's character, Sakura (Naruto) as a Monk. It was such a fun and chaotic campaign!

I’ve done a few more pieces for my own table since then, and I currently have a few slots open for April through VGen. If you’d like to see more of my work or order a character icon, you can find all the info here: https://vgen.co/Desenhiza

Thank you all again for the support that helped me get started!

This piece was a challenge mainly because of the perspective.
it is not an angle I am very comfortable with yet, so the whole process involved a lot of trial and error until things started to feel right. I wanted to push the pose to feel dynamic and a bit imposing, even if it meant stepping out of my comfort zone.

I also tried to mix a more elegant and noble vibe with Yuan-Ti traits, like the scales on the face and the tail, so the character would not read as just human at first glance. Balancing those elements without breaking the design was something I paid a lot of attention to.

Color-wise, I explored the contrast between warm gold tones and cooler accents to help separate materials and guide the eye through the piece. I spent some extra time refining textures, especially on the armor and scales, to give everything more depth.

Enemies and monsters do not simply exist to be slain for treasure and experience. They have goals, strategies, instincts and needs and taking those into account can create much more engaging encounters.

Aggressive Begging: This creature will beg and may be extremely brazen in terms of trying to get into the players backpacks, steal food from them or try to chase them off from a camp so it can raid it. It has little interest in attacking the players but it gladly will if it does not get it’s way.

Challenging: This creature seems bigger and tougher than usual with at least one extra level. It is looking for a fight to establish dominance but it might flee if things start to go badly for it.

Curious: This creature shows interest and may follow the party from a safe distance. It might alert other creatures and it could take advantage of a moment of distress to attack the party.

Diseased: This creature is likely dying but in its final days it is attacking any prey it can find. There is likely no way to avoid this creature and it is possible that it could infect a player that it injures.

Indifferent: It may be resting, eating a fresh kill or considers the party to be no real threat. So long as nobody gets too close it will continue to ignore them and a bold party member may try to steal something from it.

Injured: It will act extremely aggressive and fight anyone who gets near it. It is missing half it’s hit points and could be appeased with food, assistance or healing.

Ravenous: This creature is extremely hungry and will stalk and eventually ambush a member of the party. It will be receptive to scraps and rations but it might take quite a bit for it to leave the party alone.

Territorial: This creature may be guarding a den with young-lings, or a valuable treasure, or simply an area it has decided to call home. It will fight until the death but if the party flees it will only chase them to the edge of it’s territory.
