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.

Howdy folks!

So the Makeship campaign for the Trevor and Grogna plushies have both reached 200 units, meaning that they will be entering production and ship out in early December! Congratulations to everyone that pre-ordered so far, and to me because I get a bit of money, which goes toward supporting my dumbass decision to abandon my Law career for the life of a struggling (relative to my previous work in government service) artist!

Reminder that the plushies can still be pre-ordered until Tuesday BUT they are limited edition, once the campaign ends, yer out of luck!

That's it for now!

Stay excellent out there! Peace and carrots

My D&D comics: Sellswords & Sorcery The Weekly Roll The Pos'Thal Chronicles

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

We play as a rogue, wizard, sorcerer, and barbarian team
When we’re out of combat, I am able to do basic intelligence checks and even study the enemies mid combat, but that’s really about it.
The source are on the other hand, has the ability to cast stronger spells with the meta magic. I feel like in general their spells are always doing more than mine. Despite the fact that we have around the same power spells, it’s just the meta-magic that makes a difference
And they had the ability to talk to anyone.
It gets to the point where if I have a good idea, I have to message it to the source for so he could say it because I have a minus to charisma.

I’ve never played a wizard before so I may be doing it wrong and the DM will allow me to respec somewhat if we have an issue with our character

This is a dice tower I designed and built in 2022. It was originally made for my D&D group and the Lego D&D contest, but I didn’t finish it in time for the contest, and my group also fell apart before I could build it, so I never really used it much.

The dice go from the slide on the top of the tower and follow the steps all the way down and out the door. The little windows on the side follow the path of the dice.

Zenith is a proud, fiercely confident warrior and monster hunter who commands respect the moment she steps into a room. Armed with a massive, ornate battleaxe and wearing a naval admiral’s coat draped over her shoulders like a cape, she favors mobility and practical protection in combat.

Her body bears striking bioluminescent-blue crystal markings and scars that crisscross her skin. She sports tribal-style tattoos featuring a lion’s head, a glowing candle, and a knight’s helmet, alongside a custom leather-braided wristband. With a formidable physique, Zenith is always ready for her next hunt.

Commissioned work drawn by me!

Standard Shading piece

A friend of mine commissioned this piece from me. She wanted her OC to be a bard who can put people to sleep with her music, kind of like Jigglypuff.

It was her first time creating a character, so she didn't go too crazy with the details. Her main requests were that the character looked nice and that she was a furry, since she really likes furry characters.

This was also my first time drawing a furry character, so please don't be too hard on me! 😅

While I was thinking about the design, I remembered the little counting sheep we often see in cartoons when a character falls asleep, and I thought they would be a perfect fit for her OC. So I decided to incorporate them into the design.

What you guys think of it?

Yhorm is honorable and kind, with the strength to protect the weak although a bit socially awkward about it. He is from a smithing town, being more interested in wielding the weapons and wearing the armor instead of forging them.

That changed when a wandering paladin stopped by to commission a weapon and ended up becoming his mentor. Yhorm went on to work as a deliverer for his village until during one delivery he comes home to his village in ruin, the forges cold, the once proud flag having been torn down and burnt at its ends. The only thing left was a single great sword, hidden away by his family in their final moments.

He swears an oath of vengeance and grabs the flag to wear as a cape, carrying his homes legacy on his shoulders.

I had a ton of fun making this commission and I think it turned out well!

Hi All!

I’ve been running a campaign consistently for the last five months now. We play our game monthly (so five sessions at this point) and I’m struggling to get my players to grab onto plot hooks.

I was talking to one of my other players (Monk), who is also a DM in another campaign I play in, who told me he feels like he’s the one making all the decisions and feels bad because he feels like others aren’t getting a fair choice. But when I put a choice to the party, they look to him for the answer. Even if Monk says in character “well guys I’m lost for this one”, in character they’ll say to him “it’s up to you boss”.

I’ve tried to create hooks to players backstories, we’re in a town at the moment where one of the players are from and someone just torched the inn which had a connection to the player. The players also found a disease that has been created to be spread around the realm, they found a list of names for who was successfully infected and is in transit and on the list was one of the players mothers (which in their backstory they say they have a sick mother so they’re adventuring to find a cure).

I’m unsure what to do. They all want a story driven game but I feel a bit defeated given it’s being left up to one player. I don’t want to railroad nor do I want to go fully linear. Monk and I discussed that we potentially get his character infected with the blight so his character is knocked out, creating a personal stake for the whole party to be involved in (he has a backup character for if we go through with this). As much as I’d be okay with entertaining this option, I wouldn’t mind trying other things before pulling the ripcord on that one. Does anyone have any tips?

Thank you in advance!

This argument came between me and my friends to a buildup between a dnd session, and now I am asking you now.

What full caster is best, all round.
This includes in and out of combat, versatility, spell slots, spells themselves, and other class features in the 2024 edition.

Settlers this once and for all so my friends don’t have to argue about this again.

This OC belongs to GrottyLittleFox on VGen!! He's a fae wizard who consumed a potion that has since been slowly turning him into a monster, now roaming rampant in the ancient forest and haunting those who come near.

Rendering this one took awhile! Some details include his crown, crystal staff, the tattered robes from before his transformation, and a silky yet bloodied beard that trails down to the grass.
