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.

Hello there adventures, here is not her one sketchy character commission I drew few days ago. And as it is a comm, as you can see from the tag, I have no backstory for this character. But, the title say itself some information about this one. I don’t think there is any reason for me to tell you about genasi of different kind, pretty sure you will find a lot of information in net or in official books about them, and sure some homebrew things as well. I do not have a lot of experience in p,aging genasi tho, if some of you ever tried them , how is it compared to , idk, elves , halflings?

As for the drawing itself, as always your critics are welcomed, feel free to put some words if you have something to tell.

This is all what I wanted to print here, stay safe and have a good day!

At the end of my last session, one of my players told me he hasn't been having fun. I listened, we talked the following week, where I came up with a five-point plan for how I would revise the campaign to make things more enjoyable (including more combat, more defined boundaries around roleplaying, more celebration of the party's wins, etc). I also let him know about the story hook I planned to come in next session to give the party an out from the arc that caused some contention.

He said he approved of these changes, and the plot hook, and was excited for next session. But during that conversation, he said the titular phrase. "I would have left the campaign by now if you weren't my friend." As in, he simply would have left without telling the DM about the issues he was having. And I just can't stop ruminating on that. It's kind of crushed my confidence as a DM.

Would you keep running a campaign if one of your players said this to you?

For the next blind character I play. 3D printed using a 0.4mm nozzle and normal plastic filliment. I designed it in tinkercad because thats the only 3D modeling program i know how to use. Ik they don't roll well and are a bit of a gag but I think they are fun. Now the only issue is I don't know any braille. I chose the pink for a bit of fun and also becuse it was the only filliment I have left. The lore of the dice is the creator thought it would be funny gag and needed to learn how to 3D print.

Daughter of the ArchDevil Zedek, Myrshyrth is one of the oldest succubus and one of the most respected ones. Cunning,smart,resourceful yet loyal,passionate and with a strong conviction in her ideals, Myrshyrth has always been devoted to serve the lord of Hell Khonas. Along with her charisma and cunning,she developed great swordmanship and leadership skills. Along with some of her other sisters,she became one of the founding members of the Vanguard of Khonas. A special "division" of infernal forces,focused on dealing with internal problems and threats. The Vanguard was composed mainly by succubus that pledged a special oath to hell and his monarch.

In exchange for chastity and the avoidance of romantic relationships of any kind,they gained special abilities to better serve Khonas. Abilites like Mind reading (with the ability to read into people's memories) more powerful charming powers and augmented general combat prowess made the members of Khonas' Vanguard extremely fearsome opponents. When Hell got invaded by general Martorius and his army,sent by the rebel god Athay, the member of the Vanguard fought the most valiantly. However,their combat prowess wasn't enough to win the fight for hell. When it was clear that the war was lost,Myrshyrth guided the remnants of the Vanguard out of hell to take refuge in their enemies own world.Some decided to just hide without fighting anymore,too shocked by the events to take up arms again. Not Myrshyrth tho,the invasion was aided by Lilith and others devils for their own personal gain. They had sold their allegiance for personal gain,they deserved no mercy. Myrshyrth would not rest until injustice undone and everyone that had a part in the fall of Khonas and Hell punished.
There,they started to rebuild in the shadows. The fighters between them posed as mercenaries and soldiers,others as politicians,others took strategic roles in the societies they hided in. Gathering resources and strength to bring back Khonas and retake Hell.(Post Campaign)After more than a thousand years,Khonas retook Hell. The brute Martorius and the traitor Lilith are finally dead. Khonas has great projects for hell and it's rebuilding. However,Myrshyrth has not found peace as she tought she would.

I had so much fun working on this commission, hope you all enjoy it!

I share more of my art on other platforms too, you’re welcome to take a look anytime here 🤝

so I finally decided on a design for the dream druid I posted the other day, Somnia the half-elf

I decided to make it more sleep related and give her an outfit inspired on victorian night gowns, and wearing a onesie underneath. kept the dreamcatcher staff and the peacock feathers. I wanted to give her purple dress some sort of iridescent effect, with the colors shifting slightly depending on the light

I think dream druids have the potential to be the most eccentric and unusual type of druids, since they guard nature, but it's an otherworldly kind of nature. I wanted to make the design with vivid, dreamy colors to reflect the focus on the feywilds and surreal nature of dreams. I think the design for a dream druid can get away from not using the more typical earthy colors for druids, since everything is vibrant and strange in the feywilds and I wanted the design to reflect that.

the bottom of her staff is supposed to be covered in moss but I had no idea how to illustrate that.

she's meant to look sleepy all the time, and tried to give her a more messy, asymmetrical hair.

I made the feathers more detailed this time, but now that I see it, I think it was better when I made it look like more simple cluster of feathers are sprouting out of her clothes

this outfit is meant to be more for adventuring, but I also want to make a more casual outfit

Recently got into DnD and I am obsessed with it. I will be running my first homebrew one-shot with my friends soon so I decided to make some DIY pawns for some of my original beasts, creatures and villains.

Here we have Aghori, an evil shapeshifting priest. Jadh, a plant creature and Vanar, a small but jacked-up, deformed and very angry ape.

The one-shot will be loosely based on Indian mythology. If it goes well then I will be expanding it to a full length campaign.

I just had this idea and I’m curious if other people already do it.

Asking your players for a musical theme that will be tied to their character throughout a campaign, but changing the version depending on the moment. I’m thinking classical music because it fits the fantasy vibe and you can easily find tons of variations of the same piece.

For example:

a slow piano version for sad or reflective scenes

a quiet string version for tense moments

the full orchestral version for the big apotheosis / final reveal

So the players slowly associate that melody with a character. Then when the big moment hits and they hear the full version, it lands hard.

Kind of like leitmotifs in movies.

I feel like this could make great moments even more memorable.

Do people already do this at their tables?

PS: I'm a forever DM, but soon I'm going to play a Kenku swashbuckler rogue named Perrac with a musketeer like background. Listening to Libertango from Astor Pazziolla had been a real inspiration for this character.
