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.

This is a character I’ve shared here before, but this is the new drawing of her that shows her most recent arc.

Xxoreo and her party recently traveled to the Fey Wild, and are still there. One of the party members, Sthir, needed to go to Tor’s Lament and face the Pale Lady. So, naturally, they all went with her. While traveling through Tor’s Lament they each found themselves alone, suddenly split up by a magical blizzard. They each faced choices, but for Xxoreo her choice was to stay as she was or to join the Winter Fey and become the Hunt Mistress. It would be a path of strength, agelessness, and never ending hunts where she would never be prey. But it would also be a path of loneliness. And it wouldn’t be her. So she refused the offer and found herself on death’s door while trying to travel Tor’s Lament.

Eventually she was found by Winter Fey, but only so she could be indebted to them. When she woke up, she was unable to shift forms (she’s a shapeshifter, and she was stuck in her true form which is a wolf) due to magical shackles. She was made to fight in an arena, to the death. At first she refused to fight, but then they used the powder. A month passed as she slowly lost herself.

However, she never fully lost herself thanks to the steady company of another captured individual. He told her stories, he didn’t talk much but it mattered more than everything else. Eventually she was made to fight him too, but when they did he gave her his life. He let her kill him so she could consume his heart and power, so that some part of him could make it out of there someday.

Now, she’s been freed from her captors and has been reunited with her friends as they continue their mission in the Fey Wilds. But now, she carries another heart with her, and is still learning the new mantle that awaits her, for the heart of the one she consumed was part of an ancient and powerful group.

And she wants to join.

Sorry if that didn’t make total sense, if anyone doesn’t fully understand or anything feel free to ask, I would like nothing more than to explain!

Btw I’ll be showing her other forms on this sub later when I finish their new drawings!

Divination Wizards understand the past, present, and future, and strive to part the veils of space, time, and consciousness. They work to master spells of discernment, supernatural knowledge, and foresight.

The thing about Natasha is that she tries to find ways to endear others to her. Unfortunately, everyone else seems better at it. But what she lacks in charisma, she makes up for in maniacal power and creativity on the battlefield. She’s an elemental powerhouse, but her favorite spells involve fire in some way. She relishes in sowing fear, confusion, chaos – having turned herself into a T-Rex to fight against a powerful foe when faced with certain death, creating an obsidian dragon out of thin air, and by throwing Meteors at would-be gods.

I am open to commissions for character/environment artwork.

If you are interested in creating original, AI-free pieces, let's discuss content and rates!

This is a recent drawing I did of Scarlet🩷, it’s a commission I did for RemusPrime. I really enjoyed working on this character

This is the description my client provided of the character:

She is a paladin survivor who was captured by the Undead Scourge, and was forced to work as a labourer in their dark ziggurat. She has nothing left apart from her faith and her body. She has just been summoned by the Light to fight the forces of darkness, with nothing but her smithing hammer.

standing bright, she is like the sun-

My PC Fye von Bernstein from the Curse of Strahd campaign, wearing the Holy Symbol of Ravenkind, one of the relics that we found there.

She is a Spellfire sorcerer / Paladin oath of Redemption. I already uploaded her concept art and a brief description of her like weeks ago. This started as a practice and I decided to color it more... I wanted to portrait that light and serenity of her, shining bright even surrounded by darkness, not afraid but also not calm.

She looks at the darkness as if she already knows it

It all started when Kevin figured out where I stored my dice and kept slapping them. That quickely turns too cat powered dice tray. 5 minutes thinking of how id do it while watching a tv show and 10 minutes modeling, I had a functional design. About 6 hours and 49ish minutes later the 3d printer finished the design, and after 10 minutes cleaning of supports the print was done.

It's got the half circle scoop to grab dice when Kevin tries to pull them out, and a slope to auto roll the dice when he drops them.

The outside has some rounding so even if he gets it on its side, it falls back to normal, and the scoop keeps the dice inside.

He is not allowed to use it if im not watching. Eventualy he will figure out how to get the dice out, but until then it's a cat powered dice tray.

This is Aragam, a 1,500+ year old Drow man who’s a Paladin and follower of Eilistraee.

He is able to form his missing arm using radiant energy. He doesn’t look like your classic heavy armor paladin and that’s on purpose.

Originally he was a Lolth-Sworn. So he’s been through shit, seen shit. And had to do things he wish he could forget. And he’s quite the dangerous person when it comes to fighting as he simply doesn’t care. It’s all for Eilistraee. He only shows mercy and kindness to his allies.

This was my first DND commission, I hope you guys like it! If you have any questions about my work or are interested, feel free to DM me!

My 12 yo son asked me to run a campaign for him and 2 friends, I decided to ask the moms ahead of time to make sure they were okay with it and had the strangest conversation, one of the moms got hostile pretty quick. I assumed I had miscommunicated in someway but I'm not sure, this transcript is unedited except to reduce names to a single letter. Let me know if I'm crazy or if you have had a similar experience.

ME: Hey, J would like to start a dungeons and dragons game and asked me to run the game. He wanted to invite H to play. I wanted to make sure you were okay with it before he asks H, I know the game used to have a certain stigma about it so if you have any questions I can answer them before H is asking to play. It would most likely be an online game but we could play in person sometimes too. Its sounding like J wants to invite P too

Her: I’ll look into it and get back to you

Me: Okay. Just so you know I'd be running the game so it will have adult supervision and I wouldn't allow any mature themes.

Her: Okay well I assumed there wouldn’t be, thank you for asking. Absolutely not.

(at this point i think i might have worded this poorly and that was the reason for the strong reaction.)

Me: I hope I haven't caused a misunderstanding, 'absolutely not" seems like a strong reaction, I apologize if I overstepped some how. I only meant to say that it wouldn't be a game like GTA where you can just be violent to characters and the like. It would be age appropriate but I will tell J that H isn't able to join.

Her: Why do you say that

Me: What part?

Her: ?????

Me: I feel i am doing a poor job communicating. Would it be better for me to call?

Her: I already said no. You are doing a poor job of listening

Me: I understand that you said no and I respect that, you asked me "why do you say that" and I'm not sure what part of my message had you asking that. I apologize for the confusion and I won't bother you again. Have a good day.

I might be in the wrong somehow, I'm afraid i alienated one of my sons friends.

EDIT: i missed some names

Another portrait! This one was a commission for a good friend of mine! I had a lot of fun drawing this and learned a lot!
