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.

It felt like they didn't respect me or my time. I would've said something but I already had in the past, and it felt like they just didn't care enough to make meeting a priority. So I gave it some thought, and I left the group.

I had no other friends IRL who wanted to play, but I wasn't enjoying myself at all and I know that no D&D is better than bad D&D, so I took the leap and bowed out.

I still wanted to play, so I tried to think of ways to find a table. I looked online, but no one in my area had a post up or replied to my messages.

So I said screw it: I wrote down what kind of game I wanted to run, how often I wanted to meet, how many players I was looking for, and some other basic info. Then I designed a flier for it, printed a bunch of copies, and hung them up around town.

Within two weeks of putting them up, I had about a dozen responses - triple my original goal of gathering four players. I read through and contacted the people who lived in the area and who were okay to meet weekly, like I wanted to, and added them all to a Discord group.

Fast forward a bit, and we just got out of our first session a few hours ago! We all laughed a lot, everyone had a blast, and they said they couldn't wait to meet again! They even voluntarily brought snacks, something that happened maybe once in my last group, if ever.

I went from dreading the inevitable last minute cancellation, to rediscovering my passion for running games, and it was only about a month in between.

So to anyone who's running a group and isn't enjoying themselves, you can find the fun again. You just have to be willing to take the leap of faith :)

Eyebrawl

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the blood from your face is on the fists of the eyebrawl.”

— Sarah Six-Shot, Monster Martial Arts Coach

In a recent survey on monster hunting, hunters were asked to identify the most obvious weak point when fighting a monster. Over 80% responded with “giant glowing eye.” Historically, many eye tyrants have found this to be offensive, and expressed a strong desire to “punch respondees in their smug little faces.” A few aberrant dreams later, those desires produced striking results.

Tunnel Vision. The lack of eyes on the stalks and the extra protective plating over their single brow leave eyebrawls with exceedingly poor depth perception. While other eye tyrants might circumvent this glaring weakness with careful analysis, clever positioning, or specialised equipment, eyebrawls solve the issue with brute force. Barreling headfirst into any obstructions is an efficient way to remove them, and blindly throwing punches in every direction is an effective way to prevent enemies from flanking or attacking from behind.

Fiery Fists. Oddly, eyebrawls still have lacrimal glands and tear ducts buried beneath the rigid impact plates on their pseudofists. Rather than saline tears, these glands produce a variety of volatile slimes that coat an eyebrawl’s fists and anything those fists happen to pummel. These explosions are handy for taking out enemies, but can also be used to blow through stone. Many eyebrawls take pride in their precision explosions, carving their own caverns to live in with detailed sculpture and scroll work blasted into the walls.

The party is now convinced this is true, despite the complete lack of evidence gathered by their “investigation” (cornering townsfolk and demanding answers); and the numerous other blatant non-truths he insisted upon them.

I’m now need to make a real plot involving the king that has led to this conspiracy theory in world for them to discover.

"Listen man, I'm not the one who insisted on four separate flame throwers. I'm telling you, twenty more miles with these fuel pipe linings and you'll be swimming in the stuff instead of shooting it.

Hm. Loaners? We've got a little steel defender in the back, that should give you some action economy to tide you over. Gotta warn you though, the original artificer was weird little guy. It's a tuba with feet. Honks at you enemies. Mind you, the force damage isn't half bad."

Funny question I’ve had a lot of contact points with. I find an absurd amount of people make their characters 6ft+ or even to go as high as 7/8ft.

Was recently in a party where 5 out of 7 (myself being one of the 2) were 6’4ft+

Is there a specific reason you choose your height?

Edit: I’m seeing a funny trend of the tall people say they’re always playing gremlins and small characters 😂

Last session, my players were sent by their Adventurers Guild to help a town repel an Orc tribe that were raiding their territory. Turns out, bit more complicated than that. So after finding out what was really going on and slaying a necromancer and the grafted monster that had created the party felt that the guild had underpaid them.

I could just have the guild fairly compensate them for dealing with a more dangerous situation than was initially expected and therefore making the assignment a higher classification, but I thought it could be funny to have the process be an utter nightmare where they have to fill out form after form until eventually they get fed up and are contacted by a group of clerks that want to overthrow the guild leadership.

What kind of forms do you think the guild could require them to do? I’m imagining some sort of general overview, a combat report, a casualty report, maybe some property damage, expenses, treasure taken, just monotonous things that make you think “Screw this, I’m overthrowing the guild.”

Ok, so here's the context:

I'm a brazilian dude who plays D&D occasionally, but these days I've been wanting to play a little more and was thinking of getting in an online group, and the idea of finding one with people who speak english sounds fun too.

The point is that i don't really speak english that well, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to play as well as i would in my native language.

I'm not asking anyone to accept me on an online group, but i was thinking that if i get comfortable with the idea, would people be ok playing with me along?

So, what do you think about this? Would it be a problem?

Im back with more Paper minis! I thought it would be a good start to 2026 to open up with some cats!.

Every cozy Inn need some cats. The Emperor's Crown is no exception ^^

When i designed the cats i wanted each of them to be unique not just in color but also in mood and pose! They are straight forward to make but small enough to fit on a normal grid.

11 of them are up for grabs over on patreon.com/benoitrc

Enjoy! The Tales of Amudedo is growing every month, The Inn tilesare out this month, next month NPC minis and incoming some Kobold and Tower for some climbing action?

Thanks for all the love for the project its been great!

Either for personal amusement or genuine curiosity to see how the players look through your potential insanity of scribblings, forgotten/unused plot threads, lost ideas, or beginnings of certain events.

Now if you have done this, how'd it go? Any musings or "That was a thing?" From players?
