I had just started a new campaign. Three players, one of them I've known for a long time. The other two were new, people my friend knew.

On session 2, one of them decided to arrive almost 45 minutes late. No message letting us know. He just arrived late and then asked "what time were we supposed to start?". On top of that, he barely knew his character or the basic rules for that extent.

Same session, the other new guy arrives high as a kite, barely able to talk (I wish I was exaggerating) and drooling. Literally drooling. Absent half of the time (no wonder), and making racist jokes. At some point he said Khenitra (a town's name, see picture attached) sounded like n****r. Yes, he is American.

So I called it off. Following this subreddit's motto, "no D&D is better than bad D&D". Oh well, onwards.

Bonus content: the map I had prepared for the session. Desert town taken over by the undead. One of the characters got eaten by the ghouls.

EDIT: Thanks kind strangers for the award and all the well wishes and compliments. I didn't expect this to blow off.

A couple of clarifications because people seem to be getting a bit confused:

1. I never knew the two other players before we started playing. My friend barely knew them for a short time before that. They probably qualify as acquaintances at best.
2. I live in Saigon, so the community here is *very* small. Hard to find players.
3. This is the second custom campaign that I have to cancel in a year's time. I'm going to hang my DM screen for a while. I really don't do online because I love building terrain and painting minis. I'm too old school for that :).

Hi!

The artwork attached is one of my original D&D characters and an example of the kind of fantasy illustrations I create.

I’m currently open for commissions and would love to bring your characters to life as well.

A little bit about her:

She was born into a cult of blood hunters - people who made their living tracking down those who thought they could disappear.

They taught her that blood remembers. Every wound leaves a trail. Every debt can be collected.

Years later, she abandoned the cult and took their secrets with her. Now she travels as an Arcane Trickster, selling her skills to those who can afford them and trying not to become the very monster she was raised to be.

Ive spent a lot of time world building. This map was one of many drafts and it felt so good writing it. Before I draw more, I wanted to flesh out the full back story of the universe. Ive gotten pretty far. Creation myths. Events through the ages. But not there feels like so much do so setting up the first stage for players to start question. I love lore so there will be heaps in game. I dont like explanations like "it just is that way" i want every part of this world to have story that can discovered through adventure and lore chronicling hehehe. Just feels like a lot of work for s starting dm, but i am passionate about drawing and love fantasy writing. Any feed back so far? Would love to share some lore. The lore is written in accounts so its not binding. Ill be able to make tweaks here and there to make things work as they're needed. I love a good story and that's what I want to do. I want my players to enjoy the gameplay, but get hooked on lore aswell. More of a player myself, but I have such a creative side, I like letting it out like this.

Just tough finding people in Adelaide play dnd these days. Any feedback or advice is warranted. I still need to fully flesh out this continent before I can start. I work on other continents after Ive got this down and a good group of players. Not looking for players in this post, just feedback. Ill try my luck with players depending on responses tho this post.

Character sheet for my DnD character Ivan. He's an Aasimar pirate rogue. Our group has been going for around a year now on and off and I finally finished my sheet for him. Our group is very fun because we have 3 concept artists in it so we have a ton of art from sessions or drawings of our characters. Ivan was super fun to draw and I'm working on a front view sheet for him right now too that will likely also include some more detailed callouts to campaign specific stuff like his winter gear (we're in an eternal winter arc rn) and some of his newer weapons that he's gained.

(For question skip to bottom half)

Context: homebrew campaign

Players are lv4 and managed to save a girl from a vampire who wanted to take the girl back to his master. Vampire died and the players took the girl with them. Bit of travel, they make it to the next town where they're running the rounds, gathering information and go shopping. Two players and the girl split off from the group and go to a magic shop. One of the players sees the shopkeep as an old lady. The other sees a very odd, wide brimmed hat creature running the shop.

Old lady is cordial and shows the party her wares. Party way through the conversation, I decide, why not. And do a bit of role play between girl and hag. Hag sees the girl wants to get stronger, get revenge on the vampires that abused her and wants to repay the players who saved her. (Player who can see, has not mentioned old lady was hag) the conversation continues and the hag says she'll take care of the young girl.

Somewhere in that conversation the players say they'll agree with the bargain, if she gives them a 400 gold discount. The hag agrees and takes the girl. (No horror or Antagonism shown from the hag). The players purchase the items the hag had shown them, but then apparently realize that they dont have enough for the whole lot. (Missing about 100 gold).

The party says they'll return to pay the rest and the hag agrees so long as one of them is marked by her. (An I.O.U. for proprietary purposes). The player who can see hag, offers friends hand for the mark and the party leaves. When they left, the player who could see tells the other about the hag and it sounds like they are making plans to go back, Rob the witch and get the girl back.

\----=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-

If it helps, I dont think they really understood the where the conversation was going. And they're already making plans to turn on the hag.

The question is should I let them. Even with their discount, they got a bit of an i.o.u. in the form a small hex on the player. ( so its not unreasonable to believe the hag might already know.)

\-I can ignore their plans and let them strike

\-Remove both until later

\-Or potentially, just make the hag the best thing for the child.

What do you think I should do?

So I was going through some cantrips for an NPC the other day, and saw that Ice Knife requires a drop of water or piece of ice to cast. Anyone else come to the conclusion that a character would just spit in their hand? This is so random, but I thought I’d share.

So i just noticed that all of the 2024 Warlock subclasses are creature types. We've got: Fey (Archfey), Celestial, Fiend, Aberration (Great Old One) and Undead.

Which creature types would make for some awesome warlock subclasses and what could they do?
I've seen multiple people hope for a Dragon Warlock, which would also fit into this thematic.

What i would imagine quite fun would be a humanoid subclass.

Hi!

I made this augury set for the wizard in my party.
She uses the Augury spell quite often, so I thought it would add some flair to have something physical to use at the table.

The "bones" are sculpted with Apoxie Sculpt and then hand painted with acrylics.
Initially I wanted to carve runes into them while sculpting and then fill them with "gold", but when that didn’t work out, I just wrapped them in brass wire.

They are a bit heavier than bones because the clay is very dense and hard (which makes it perfect for sculpting teeth haha), so I might keep dabbling to find a better substitute or technique to make them more convincing.
