Finished painting Lae'zel from Baldur's Gate 3 yesterday.

I still have mixed feelings about BG3. There are parts I love, parts I hate and parts I just don't connect with. Still, Bae'zel is one of the positives for me. I love that they included the gith. Whenever I encountered them in BG2 or Planescape I remember always wanting more.

This one took about eight hours total. I have a full video of it but I don't want to cross into promotion territory.

Anyway I hope you like it!

mine was a Rogue Kobold with a spear and fire magic. I named him Clawgork just cuz it sounds stupid.

This is Chester, a tiny horned mimic I designed and built from 3 mm plywood. He started as a simple idea for a single-die holder, but somewhere along the way he grew legs, claws, horns and a rather dramatic tail. Every part was drawn as a flat laser-cut piece, then assembled and painted by hand with acrylics. I wanted him to look like a little creature breaking out of an old chest, while still being useful at the D&D table. Would you trust him with your favourite die?

Hey folks,

I have mentioned this to the DM. Yet there's someone who likes to be the center of attention. He's talking, a lot.

The DM is very close to him and does not tolerate anyone telling him to be quiet or that he should know his character after playing for two years.

Do we have ideas for politely telling people to be quiet or not to take action on other people's turns? He plays the same character as I do 50 percent of the time. I mentioned ' oh, I'll heal friend ", and he said "I'll do that" and he did that on my turn.

So I get annoyed with him talking over us

Sometimes, this game will blow your mind. I’ve been playing this game for around eight years now, and few moments stand out as unlikely as the moment that occurred last night.

Our party, the Sojourners, stands adamant against a dragon known as Gaiastrax. Until now, Gaiastrax has been an ally, but has been twisted into a withered, rageful form, forcing us to go to battle against him.

It is getting desperate. Our party’s wizard is trying desperately to sway Gaiastrax back from the brink with words and memories, and while some appear to break through briefly, it isn’t working. This isn’t going to end well.

My character is our party’s Cleric. A devoted worshipper of the God of Lies. And until this moment, combat tends to go alright for me. A simple spirit guardian that sticks or clutch heals for my friends, it isn’t too hard to be effective in combat as a cleric so long as you have some luck.

But last night, my luck seemed to have run out. Any concentration spell I cast dropped soon after, and worse, I could not succeed a saving throw to save my life. Literally. My Cleric is down, and the battle is moving away from me. I am restored to nine health by my NPC paramour, but she is low too. I have two spells left, so I know its time. I am going to try Divine Intervention. I have been playing this game for eight years, and this is my first Cleric. Not only that, but I have yet to even attempt a Divine Intervention. The odds are so low. Right now, we are level 12. So… a 12% chance. But I have two spells left, and one is for Revivify. Now is the time.

My Cleric and his paramour are both dropped by an earthquake that shakes the field of battle. It is a legendary action right before my turn. What was to be a Hail Mary has now turned sour. We are going to die.

I take my turn immediately after dropping unconscious. One failed death save, rolled privately, only me and the DM know. I start to panic.

My paramour follows. Nat 1. Two failed death saves. Only the DM knows. We are on a knife’s edge.

I watch the round cycle. My party cant heal me. We are too far away, and their healing tools aren’t like a Cleric’s. If they run to heal me, we will probably lose.

I start to accept this might be it. A Nat 1 will mean my death. I have seen it happen before, but never to the Cleric. Never to the one character who can cast Revivify. This would be the end of the story. A tragic one, but worth it if my party survives.

My turn. I roll the Death Saving throw.

Natural 20. I get up, I get my turn. My hand flashes out to heal my character’s love before she falls. One spell left. But I had a plan before I dropped. Despite all odds, I can try it.

“The most disgusting lies are the ones we tell ourselves.” I say, and use Divine Intervention. “Help me crush Gaiastrax’s lie, my lord. Return him to his true nature.”

I need a 12 or lower on a d100. I roll.

005.

The party explodes, I can’t help but laugh. I think I lose my mind a little, I feel euphoric. I don’t know the odds at the time, but I believe a Nat 20 death save success into a successful Divine Intervention at level 12 is a 0.6% chance.

I know two Nat 20s at once is rarer. I’ve seen it happen a few times. But this is my first ever Divine Intervention. For me, this transcends the odds. My friend says it well, “Actual Divine Intervention, by the way.”

Suffice to say, it works. My God, the Spider, appears in celestial light behind my character, forcing Gaiastrax to return to his true self, ending the lie. We win the day on the same turn where I was already accepting my death.

If I read this in a book, it would have been incredible. But here, with dice, with friends, it actually happened. We were all there and will not forget it.

What a game.

Next in line chief defender of his sea shore village, he wields a coral made quarterstaff and is always beside his trusty octupus companion, since octupus dont live a lot this one is a 3th generation of octupus he work with.
Was asked to make him hot, lean and muscular and with loose-fitting clothing kinda resembling a belly dancer, he has a hammer head shark skull as a helmet embedded with 2 gems.

This was an amazing character to work with and hope he embarks in a great adventure.

I spent some time reimagining my D&D party in the iconic Hades art style! Tried my best to capture Jen Zee’s incredible high-contrast ink work, sharp geometric shadows, and vivid, saturated accents.

Translating our adventuring group into the Underworld’s bold, angular aesthetic was such a fun challenge, especially landing the sharp lighting and dramatic silhouettes. Let me know what you think, and I’d love to hear which Godly Boons you think my characters would hand out! ⚔️✨

She was once a sister of a minor monastic order that took in the sick and the cursed without question until a lamia's bite took her legs and gave her something else instead. The order cast her out, calling the transformation a mark of sin rather than survival. She kept the pendant. She kept the vows, in her own twisted way. Now she moves through back-alleys and border towns as a knife-for-hire, taking contracts on those the temple itself would call irredeemable a quiet, personal penance dressed up as murder.

As an NPC or monster, she works well as a patron turned threat: a party might hire her for a job, only to learn her "code" cuts both ways. Suggested hooks she never breaks a contract once sealed with blood on the blade, she still tithes a cut of every kill to the order that exiled her, and she can be reasoned with only by someone who shows genuine faith, not fear.

Stat-wise I've been running her as a reskinned Yuan-ti / Naga hybrid assassin's shortsword (serrated, poison coated) instead of standard weapon, plus Charmed condition on a failed save vs. her hypnotic voice, fitting the coiled snake cleric theme.
