* If you are new to the subreddit, **please check the Subreddit Wiki**, especially the Resource Guides section, the FAQ, and the Glossary of Terms. Many newcomers to the game and to r/DnD can find answers there. Note that these links may not work on mobile apps, so you may need to briefly browse the subreddit directly through Reddit.com.

* **If you have multiple questions unrelated to each other, post multiple comments** so that the discussions are easier to follow, and so that you will get better answers.

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.

A portrait study I made recently.
Seraphine. A light-purple-skinned tiefling woman born into nobility, she was raised among wealth, etiquette, and expectations, yet chose a path entirely her own. With long, light hair, elegant horns, and an inquisitive nature, she is endlessly drawn to secrets and forbidden knowledge. Her warlock powers stem from a strong bond with something alluringly dark—an enigmatic presence that fascinates her as much as it unsettles her. She seeks to understand it, even at the risk of losing herself.

Setthi is a character I made for a friends one shot game. It was a silly ride and I played a silly but powerful character.

From the Icy Wastes they threaten the civilized settlements South of them. Raiding, killing, plundering. Someone needs to do something!

This miniature was a lot of fun to work on, and it painted up surprisingly quickly. This is Zorvath The Flayer from the Blood Tribes collection by Heroes Infinite. I've got a few more of these coming along and really looking forward to painting more. They're all so expressive and dynamic. I love it!

I made alternatives to minis: 1" abstract QuoDrox tiles. Color-coded, numbered, and with crossbones on the backs so you can flip 'em when they're dead. Durable and portable enough to carry a small army in a dice bag.

Abstract art means flexibility. A red tile with horns works for goblins, imps, or whatever you need at the time. Available at QuoDrox.com

They work well will standard minis as you can see in the image. Let players have their characters defined by their figures and then all the secondary monsters and the like use the tiles. It beats scraps of paper, pennies, or tons of extra dice.

What's one small detail you gave your D&D character that you ended up loving? Could be a weird habit, favorite food, random fear, dumb hobby or anything. Mine would probably be a character who always carries something useless but refuses to throw it away

I have been playing for 8 years at conventions and stuff. Heard and seen a lot over the years.

I think the most incredulous thing I heard was a player say "DM, I want to make a dungeon and run it" and I said "yeah sure let me know when you’re ready and we'll make a day for it. What level were you thinking?"

And he said "oh, I meant I wanted to make one in-game. I'm a level 10 Wizard and I want to use my downtime to make a dungeon, and traps, and buy monsters, and watch the other players go through it."

I told him "I'm not gonna make a dungeon for your character where I build a one-shot for your Wizard and then let him pull all the levers behind the curtian. You are describing being a DM for a one-shot. If you want, we can make it in-universe, but it is something you are going to do, not me."

He never ran the dungeon.

Stopped playing with him a few months later lol.

This is Koko my latest derpy character this is an old concept that i developed 1 year ago after dealing with a lot of struggles i decided to gave him a rework and finally finish this , he is a merchant and also an albino Kobold .

i imagine him beign a potential party member trying always to sell something to one of his companion and bringing them cool items . he may look silly but he is very smart

A small glass bottle containing a miniature sun. The flame inside burns with such intensity that the glass glows red even though the bottle remains cold to the touch.

Throw. As an action, you can throw the bottle at a point within 60 feet. The bottle shatters on impact.

Incineration. The explosion fills a 5-foot-radius sphere centered on the impact point. Every creature in the area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw.

Failed save: 8d12 fire damage

Successful save: Half damage

Flammable objects that aren't being worn or carried instantly ignite.

The magical flame lasts for only a fraction of a second before disappearing.
