She is one of my client's D&D characters: a changeling bard whose instrument of choice is the cello. Her relationship with the world is defined by convenience, manipulation, and a pronounced aversion to getting her own hands dirty. Faced with any situation, her first instinct is never to take action herself, but to find someone willing — or vulnerable enough — to do it for her.

Don't expect her to kill you personally. She considers direct violence a crude approach, not to mention an unnecessarily tedious one. If she needs someone eliminated, she'll most likely resort to magic, bending another person's will and turning them into an instrument of her own ambitions. After all, why bear the consequences of an action when you can simply convince someone else to carry it out on your behalf?

Sharp-witted and cunning, she understands the power of influence and knows exactly how to wield it. Her appearance is simply another tool in her arsenal: she changes her shape whenever it suits her, adapts her features to whatever the circumstances demand, and uses her natural charm to inspire trust, fascination, or submission. To her, seduction, persuasion, and manipulation are just as essential as mastering the strings of her cello. Her true specialty, however, lies in making others believe they are acting of their own free will, even when every step they've taken has been carefully orchestrated by her. 💜

(Spoilers for Tomb of Annihilation)

For context, me and 2 other friends, who we'll call Warlock and Fighter, have joined a new campaign together.

The 3 of us have played together for a few years now, and we've all been dnd players for roughly 10 years at least.
The other players in this new group are Druid, who has only played for about a year, and Rogue, who is still pretty new to the whole thing.

We all met up at the game shop for our first session, and we got a message from DM apologising that he was going to be late because of a train issue. So obviously we started talking about dnd.

Rogue mentioned that she also joined an online campaign a few weeks ago, and that they were playing Tomb of Annihilation.
We laughed, because Fighter just finished DMing ToA for Warlock and I's group a couple of months ago.

I told Rogue something along the lines of "Well I hope you like being lost in a jungle for months on end", and explained that the campaign felt very long for us because of that.
Fighter laughed along and said yeah, he tried to move things along for us but there is indeed a lot of walking around the jungle and it can get tedious.
Rogue said her group has only now gotten out of the main city and haven't done a lot of exploring yet.

Warlock joined the conversation, saying that Tomb of Annihilation was a weird campaign, and that he didn't like it much until we got to Omu.

At that point, I kind of missed exactly how the conversation went because Fighter and I had to get our food that was being delivered.

But when I got back to the group, they were arguing.
Warlock had apparently in a few minutes managed to reveal to Rogue (and Druid, who knew nothing about the module) that the BBEG of ToA was a Lich, that there was a tomb full of ancient Gods, and that finding the city of Omu was an important milestone in the campaign.

Rogue seemed a bit unsure of what to do with the information, and was asking to please not spoil the end of the campaign for her.
Fighter also got annoyed, saying that it was very rude to announce all that to someone who clearly hadn't played very far into that campaign.

Warlock defended himself, saying that this was all very common knowledge to anyone who knew anything about the setting, and that obviously a curse that affected Undeads would have something to do with a Lich, and that obviously the Tomb of the Nine Gods would have multiple Gods in it.

I pointed out that when we played, we didn't come across the existence of the words "Omu" or "Tomb of the Nine Gods" until multiple months into the campaign, and that it was a bit of a dick move to spoil it that much.
Warlock insisted that the module was called "Tomb of Annihilation", so it was logical that a tomb was going to be important.

While we were playing and being lost in the jungle, we did joke above-table a lot that we hoped to find something about a tomb soon, because this jungle business was getting old, referring to the title of the module. But it was always understood that our characters didn't know about any tombs until we found info on it in-game.

Rogue said that she actually doesn't know much about dnd lore in general, and had never heard of the module before playing. She said she's not even really sure what a Lich is actually.
Warlock proceeded to start explaining exactly what a Lich is, but Druid cut him off, saying that Rogue didn't need to know that right now, and said we were all being assholes discussing anything to do with a pre-written module with someone who hadn't finished it.

Fighter defended himself by saying me and him only were talking in very general terms, but that spoiling actual plot points was not cool, which I agreed with.
Rogue said she was fine with what we were saying, but she hadn't wanted to know about all the stuff Warlock was talking about.
Druid said he would much rather know nothing about a module in advance and discover all of it organically.

Warlock said it was stupid to not want to know stuff that was "common knowledge" to dnd players, and started giving an example of "That's like if you start playing Curse of Strahd and don't know that Strahd is..." and I cut him off abruptly, saying that actually I was only a couple months into a Curse of Strahd game and was actively trying to not know much about that setting or campaign in advance.
Warlock got pissed off at me, saying that "obviously everyone knows about Ravenloft", and that I was being a bad player by not having a lot of knowledge about the setting.

Druid and I heavily disagreed with him, we said that we don't need an encyclopaedic knowledge of every setting in dnd to play, and that it was fun for us to discover things as we played along rather than rely on our meta knowledge for everything.
Warlock said that he doesn't understand us not wanting to know things about the game we're playing. He started mentioning something about how he almost always gets campaign books as soon as they're released, and at least skim-reading them, even if he knows he's gonna be a player in one of them.
I said that was a bit weird, Warlock has never DM'd and doesn't want to, so I don't see why he would need to read all the modules in advance.

That's when DM finally walked in, and was a bit surprised to see us in a heated argument.
We decided to table the whole discussion in favour of starting our game, but things were a little bit awkward.

DM messaged me privately later (because we're close friends), asking what that was all about, and I explained what had happened. She pointed out that this was not a new thing, she had played with Warlock before in a short campaign, and he had made a point of showing off how much knowledge he has about the game and looking down on players who don't engage with lore as much as he does.

Now, DM is in an awkward position because she feels like she has to do something to make the table comfortable for everyone, but she wasn't part of the conversation that led to the awkwardness.

I was always under the impression that it was bad etiquette to spoil plot points to someone who you know hasn't finished playing through something, but Warlock seems to think that it's normal to expect players to know a lot more than we do about pre-written campaigns and lore in general.

So, who was overreacting in here, were we unreasonable in telling Warlock he was out of line?
Do people actively read pre-written modules ahead if they're not planning on DMing them?

At least one person asked for more of the dnd eeveelutions, so I don’t think posting them all would annoy anyone! I’ll post one a day so I’m not spamming the poor moderators. This is Vaporeon! Here are the stats:

Race: Water Genasi

Class: Tempest Cleric

Stats: Con and Wis focused

Background is up to you! I imagine they’re quite a serious person that may be a little slow to get jokes or razzing, they might assume sarcasm is fact when it’s from their friends, but they’re probably still a good friend and ally. Kind of person you want to lean on and cry too about your problems because no matter how small they’d fight every battle with you.

I have to make this post a lot of words so I’ll just go into design details now, they’ve got pink scaring because shiny Vaporeon. They’re a tempest cleric focused on water abilities because vaporeons have a lot of health and have a good special attack stat rather than a high attack stat. They’ve got a lot of fish imagery like nets and stuff. I imagine they fish in their past time. I’m not sure water genasi eat food like other races so it could be a catch and release sorta deal. I actually really like this design it’s the first one I did and I still think it looks really good. Very fun character with lots of bits to move around in art pieces.

As always it’s free to use, just credit me in any official capacity if you happen to use my art or design outside of private games! Thank yew!

It was my first ever IRL dnd campaign. It was with a group of people I vaguely knew, friends of friends. I created my first character - the most stereotypical rogue tiefling.

He had a simple backstory - he told people he had a noble upbringing, but in reality he was an orphan servant who killed his master and his family in a fury of unexplained rage. He had fled and wanted to lay low with a group of good-aligned adventurers. He had no idea what happened to his family and held a grudge against them for giving him away to this family to be a servant/slave.

To this day that DM (who is currently my close friend) is making snarky remarks that "he had no backstory" or that it was "a shit backstory". It's not an inside joke, he will say this to other people if we talk about dnd. Also unprompted.

Mind you, in the three years since, ttrpg has become my main hobby, I play multiple times a week, I DM, I go to events, I have met countless new groups and friends. He has only DMed that one campaign (it ended abruptly). I still don't think that was a shit backstory. It was very stereotypical, but it had a hook, a purpose and could have had a character arc.

Who is in the wrong here?

Edit:
Of course I have told him multiple times I don't like when he's like this and I feel like it diminishes me as a DM and a player when we talk to other people. He does not care.

But I do want to know if I am in the wrong and is it really a shit backstory? Would you now allow it at your table?

Okay, so, long story short, my players were talking to a friendly NPC mage during a dungeon crawl, and, while talking about funny and weird magical events, I cracked a joke at the expense of Jim's Magic Missile, saying that someone had tried to make a gluten-free version of magic missile, and for some reason removing the gluten made the spell stop tracking things on its own.

Big Mistake.

Now my players want to know what adding gluten to other spells does. They want to know if Magic missile is an allergen. They want to know what happens if they add salt to their spells. Someone wants to try and cast a spell using soup.

I've bullshited my way around this topic for half an hour, but I think they're not satisfied yet. They said that the ocean is a soup. I fear that someone wants to cast a spell using the ocean.

I am afraid.

Hi,I am Shuni and I am a pixel artist,and this is the second character in my D&D pixel art series :a half-elf wizard! She loves reading spellbooks and has learned a wide variety of spells through her studies. She’s a little introverted and often finds books easier to understand than others. Although she struggles to express herself,she’s powerful and with a strong sense of justice. She is always ready to stand up for others when it matters. I hope you like her 😉

I posted a picture of this before, but i thought it would be interesting to show a video of it as well ^^

Basically i was testing out ways to make mount easier with my minis. Here is one of my favorite test, i made some ridding leg that you can swap out for regular standing leg using magnets ^^ Paper and magnet just work so well together ^^

Its still an early protype and lets be honest its definitively just a fun bonus more then anything but i thought it looked better then just sticking a standing mini on top of your wolf or horse!

I did expand it a bit, and now also have sitting leg, for resting time and such ^^

Anyway enjoy and keep following me on here or on patreon to see more of my paper project, it helps a lot, this way i can keep releasing minis and tile set!!
