So I’m going to be DMing for the fist time on Saturday and I am super excited! I decided to get the Heroes of the Borderlands starter set, but I felt it started weirdly if that makes sense?

I don’t want my newbie (brand newbie!) players to feel pushed into role playing with each other when they don’t actually know each others characters. So I have created a tavern that I have placed on the trail just before the woods.

The Hollow Lantern, your typical tavern. Serves food, drink and offers weary travellers a room for the night. I have created a physical menu for each of my players and I am planning on baking the items on the menu and making the drinks (which are cocktails)! I think this would be a great first experience with playing d&d and I hope it will help my friends fall in love with the game as much as me!

As it’s recommended to start with The Wilderness booklet I decided that a survivor of the looted wagon will stumble into the tavern, a bloodied, crumpled note in hand as he falls to the floor pointing the players in the right direction! I have also created a caravan ledger to literally fall onto the table so they can read it!

I don’t know if I am going too over the top for a first session, but I just want everything to be perfect for my players first ever time playing!

Does anyone have any first time DM advice?

Edit: I also made each of my players a customisable a5 binder, this has their character sheets, spells, items they have at the beginning of the game, loads of space for any session notes they want to take! I got them a set of dice each and a dice tray each! They are all super excited to get started!

We have;

A human ranger

A tiefling warlock

A tabaxi barbarian

And an elf Druid!

This is Litrisha from our planescape campaign (her main version, there are others). Inspired by an older character concept that I finally got around to actually playing, and scroll/essay spirits loosely based on japanese folk lore (kyorinrin/fuguruma yohi). She was a wizards apprentice unfortunate enough to draw some bad cards from the deck of many things and ended up trapped inside a wizards spellbook/scroll.

She is a spirits bard and genie warlock using a mix of tortle/autognome race.

This was a commission done by Fagner Lincoln (Instagram)

Posting for my girlfriend; she is terrified of actually recieving feedback so thought I'd help her out a bit (with her reluctant permission). She's been creating some incredible artwork for DND including maps, tokens and soundscapes - so thought I'd share with you all so she can get some more feedback. Please see post below:

As I'm currently massively into halflings and that painterly oil style, here's another lovely token of a Bard.

In my game, he's the father of my OC Yablochka (aka. my profile pic). He's a loving dad and a typical halfling who enjoys the warm, homely customs of his village.

This painting is done by hand and on one layer in the free software Krita. I used a brushpack called "Impasto Brushes" by memileo, which I want to shout out for being the best oil paint simulation I've ever had.

I know, some of you are lazy lil goobers, so I've added a token version as well!

No need to thank me, anything for you guys 'n gals <3

There really isn't much more to say, except: stay tuned in, I'll post a couple more halfling-centered imagery in the next few days, including a little halfling-house.

As always feel free to comment! I'd love to know how you like it and what you'd like to see painted/drawn in my style next!

Love,

Ally~

My next Player Character for any future games, She is a Dhampir Fighter or Rogue styled using unique weapons.

A pair of sharp metal claws over her fingers (Shown in separate concept art), and uses the large chained hook for ranged attacks. Unsure if I wanted to play her as a sneak and bite stealth character or a finesse brawler type which is why I am stuck between Rogue and Fighter ideas.

For Lore: she is a run away daughter of Chaotic evil Vampire (Left open for DM storytelling), who fights to be more human yet as their hunger grows they lose their self to the need to feed. They vow to never harm the innocent so they only feast on the under-city criminals and evil that plague the streets. Lesser end muggers and small bandit groups, who pass around a story of the Black wraith

Like... you love the premise, the lore, the story, etc. But... somewhere in between, it just... fell apart. Players couldn't make it to the session, they made... questionable mistake, that turned the campaign upside down, they have a second thought on the class that they were playing, and they don't find that class or that character fun anymore, stuff like that. Have you ever tried to... reset the campaign? Picking players who can show up often, fully discussed your characters with the group, made... "better" decision. Have you ever done it? If yes, pls tell me your experience with it so that i could know wehether i should discuss it with my game group
