For several years I chickened out of DMing. I was scared of messing up, not being good at it, not knowing enough, etc. Well, I took the plunge a few months ago and it's been going really well. For context, my group is online and we have camera-on sessions for maximum roleplaying and interaction. Well, as I began to close out the session last night, I looked at the cameras in Discord. To my absolute HORROR, my boyfriend was standing around in the hallway completely naked, fully facing the camera as he closed the linen closet. It apparently never occurred to him that anyone would be able to see him in the hallway. By some miracle I noticed before anyone else and shouted at him to move. My friends' eyes were saved.

The lesson is this: things will inevitably go wrong. But you'll probably be the only one to notice, and you can all have a good laugh about it later!

On The Cover…

In this piece by Nacho Lazaro, the influential devil Hasphermet scries the many layers of Pandemonium, from the Dragon Steppe to the Stygian Sea. Her command over the realm of Dead Tiamat is greater than many, even within the shattered hells themselves, suspect. After all, in a plane of mighty demons and ancient dragons, what can a lowly reborn mortal do? Many things, as it turns out.

The Giveaway!

We've recently released a 90-page sourcebook all about our take on the infernal plane of Pandemonium. This is our take on the realm of chaos, unrelated to that of the Forgotten Realms, but with plenty of fiendish goodness that you can drag-and-drop into *any* hellish setting you fancy.

As is tradition for us at the Codex of Strings, we're doing a giveaway for this amazing community that propelled us from a brutally anonymous writing duo into a small studio full of talented and passionate creatives <3

Find out how to partake in the comments below!

So in my campaign, my son created his own weapon he calls the Titan. In game it’s a combination punching weapon and buckler. (Not a full glove, more like an oblong shield bent at a right angle and added ‘knuckles’).

1d8 bludgeon damage, chance to knock an enemy prone and +1 AC.

The full size version is cardboard, hot glue and paint. It’s his first cardboard project and he knocked (pun intended) out of the park.

Do you think the stats are fair?

Thanks for looking

What happens when a ruler’s buried pain becomes a monster her whole island must survive?

In this adventure, the island barony of Arnevoux is under attack by the Beast of Arnevoux. The party is sent to face the threat, uncover the Coray family curse, and travel into the Everlast, the spirit realm of emotions and memories, to discover why Baroness Enora’s suffering has taken monstrous form.

🔥 5 lucky adventurers will win the full PDF + STL bundle, including the complete The Beast and the Baroness 5e adventure and the full Mammoth Factory miniature collection.

Use the Beast of Arnevoux as a massive boss monster on a 75mm base, bring Baroness Enora to the table as a haunted ruler under impossible pressure, and fill your encounters with animar, emotion spirits born from fear, rage, loathing, homesickness, irritation, doubt, and more.

Perfect for haunted islands, cursed castles, spirit realm encounters, supernatural mysteries, tragic boss fights, dark fantasy campaigns, and roleplay-heavy D&D sessions where the monster may be tied to the person your party is trying to save.

If Lady Luck does not favor you this time, you can still grab the collection on Patreon or Tribes for 80% off (July only).

Hey, the changeling is still here! It's her wedding! Don't let the other characters' shenanigans distract you from her story. (This is more a message to myself than to you.)

What's going on here?

• This girl is "Kayra", a changeling made of mud and sticks enchanted to look like the human she had replaced as a baby.
• Changelings are supposed to fade and die after a few weeks, but this one did not, and has been living the real Kayra's human life, and grew up hiding her true nature - even from her own parents.
• Now she's an adult, getting married, and has a complicated relationship with her mother.
• She still hasn't told her fiancé the truth about herself, though not for lack of trying.
• Now there are only a few minutes till she's supposed to walk down the aisle.

Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/existential horror story. It's on Webtoon or https://crookedgoat.ca.

I made this cause I started playing Baldurs Gate and Owlbears are so cute!
I hope you like my design and that the steps are easy to follow.

I drew the initial sketch in drawpile (a program where multiple people can draw together) and then moved it to Clip Studio Paint to line it.
If you want to see how I make my steps I have uploaded a timelapse on my socials.

Sorry for the mini essay apparently I have to type out a few words for the post to go through on this subreddit. I do think my tutorial fits in this community so enjoy!

If you do use my tutorial please share it with me if you're posting it online I'd love to see it!
Feedback is also appreciated, I am self taught and just create these in ways I think would've helped me when I was starting out with exploring my creative side.
My tutorials focus on seeing shapes in things, it's a good starting point.
So for the people that are curious about art but not sure where to begin I like to think my tutorials might be helpful!

I do also have other tutorials free and available on my reddit page and Patreon etc.

This is a bit of a higher difficulty then some of the others I've made.

Owlbear facts

An owlbear was a large magical or fey beast that looked like a cross between an owl and a bear. Notoriously aggressive and ferocious, they were among the most feared predators in the wilderness.

Once the wolves and owlbears catch your scent, they'll follow you. If you can't keep ahead of them, they'll eat you. Slowly, if it's an owlbear that catches you. They like cruel sport with their food.

” — Florin Falconhand

An owlbear could rotate its forearms as a human could, granting it greater strength and agility than a regular bear, giving it a wider range of attack, and enabling it to 'hug' and grapple prey. Moreover, while it had forward-facing eyes like both bears and owls, it also could rotate its head up to 270°, owing to it having fourteen neckbones (humans had seven and could only turn through 180°), and it could whip its head around with shocking speed. They had a transparent third eyelid (known as a nictitating membrane) to guard against dust, dirt, and bright light. Unusually, an owlbear's ears were asymmetric, with one somewhat higher than the other, letting it exactly locate the origin of any sound. Finally, owlbears had the same long tongues as bears, so it could lap up liquids the same way.

So, it was our first time actually playing dnd and it was my first time DMing. Essentially, they didn’t like the way I DMed so instead of telling me what’s wrong and having me correct it, they planned to have one of them DM. Which I have zero issue with. Basically, they expected me to flip my lid when they brought it up but I told them it’s ok and that he could DM. After ALL OF THAT. He gave up on DMing because he was “worried what everyone would think” how do you think I felt the entire time!?

I need to make a new character and I can't decide what to be.

I have a name I have in mind but I’m not sure if it’ll work? I like how it sounds but I fear people will associate to a monster high character 🫠
