Modeled, printed in resin, and painted by me. I make mimics of everyday objects, and this was a mimic chosen by my Patreon members, to go with a teacup I made previously. Can you tell what the paint job is (heavily) inspired by?

Long story short she dropped some transphobic comments and habitually made things uncomfortable for a couple members at the table. I tend to be pretty low conflict as a DM but just wanted to post to reinforce to others that it's our job to make sure the environment around the table remains healthy and cohesive.

absolutely wonderfully terrifying to see this come out, completely handmade. that's my character's mini prone and restrained in webbing :3

So we are playing a pirate themed campaign and my party is a pirate crew that made enemies with the most dangerous undead pirate in the 9 seas (theres nine in this world) Kalicore the Lich captain. Not only was he a powerful lich but he had resurrected the kraken as his undead minion that he commanded in battle. So going into this battle me and the party had to be prepared as possible, but then I realized something, way back when our DM had given us a nifty little magic item called Ship in a bottle. We only ever used this for convenient storage use for our ship the nevermore, that way we didn't have to worry about ship thieves or stoaways. However looking at the magic item description the only requirement for it was that I needed to state the name of the vehicle and be within 60 feet of it to store it into the bottle.

So when the massive battle started the crew and I were being attacked by Kallicore on the front and his kraken was behind us, we thought we were screwed and combat began our ship was already taking massive damage and starting to take on water, when it was my turn I said "I might as well try" as I utter the name of the legendary vessel of the lich captain Kalicore and utter "Andrea" (the name of the captains long dead wife). The DM confused asked me what I was doing and I said I wanted to put the Andrea into my ship in a bottle, he gave me a blank stare as he quickly looked at the item description and let out a huge laugh.

He explained to me that it works but not only that but the captain is bound to the ship because its his phylactery and he is bound to the ship that his soul gets sucked into the bottle as well. However the kraken was still active because Kallicore was not dead just 'sealed' and could still mentally command any of his minions outside (namely the kraken but some other undead minions that fell into the water when the ship got sucked in). So our barbarian on his turn put the bottle into a bag of holding and tell me to dimension door him away with my bag of holding, I was reluctant at first seeing as how all of my gold and spell casting components were in there but I didn't want to take away from the moment and let the barbarian take my bag of holding, we didn't know how big the explosion would be so when it came back to my turn I teleported the barbarain 500 feet away and as he fell into the water he put both bags of holding together and we see a blackhole as everything within 10 feet was sucked into it, our barbarian sacrificed himself.; The undead kraken fell limp slowly sinking to the bottom of the ocean as well the rest of the lich captains undead army. To our surprise though our barbarian was still alive but in an enitrely different plane of existence and apparently so was kallicore thankfully he was still sealed inside the bottle, but it will be bad news for whatever poor sap decides to open that bottle. So we didn't really 'defeat' him as much as we did make it a different dnd worlds problem.

Art by me

This is my DnD character currently. She takes the appearance of a minotaur named Jade. Little does her party know, thats not who she really is.

Singing Cricket and Nanny have met before... sort of. That she recognizes him and he doesn't recognize her raises a lot of questions about how the multiverse works.

Thanks to u/yoffeepop for letting me play with her character and contributing her art! And letting me add just a bit more insane background to an already crazy character.

Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/horror story. It's on Webtoon, r/LoveAndHex, and other platforms.

If you're somehow familiar with Love and Hex but not Table Top, you should read it too!

My literal thought process:

1. Ok, so she has a big family at home, who are all alive, and they all love her!
2. If she's got a big family, she must have lots of siblings
3. I don't want her to be the oldest or the youngest, so I'll put her in the middle
4. And even if she doesn't have any trauma, I should still add something interesting to her backstory
5. If she's a druid, maybe I could make up some reason for why she spent so much time in the woods learning magic
6. Maybe all of her older and younger siblings are really close in age to each other, but she's not close in age to any of them, so she grew up feeling isolated even when surrounded by lots of people, so going to the woods to read books and practice spells was her way of escaping that
7. Yeah! And I can make it where she was low charisma cause she never developed any social skills cause she was always alone and had no friends!
8. Wait, did I just accidentally give her trauma?
9. Wait, did I just accidentally give her MY trauma?!?
