* 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.

The purpose of this thread is for artists to share their work with the intent of finding clients, and for other members of the community to find and commission artists for custom artwork.

My recent personal artwork of my half-elf rogue character Merlis. I wanted to make and artwork with a warm autumn feeling contradicting the plot of the image itself, while also trying to overcome my avoidance of ornaments and clothing details. I wanted these details and ornaments to allude to his character story and personality. I do not have a fully fleshed out backstory for him yet, but he is someone who seems to be pretty easy going, and willing to cooperate yet not very open about himself as a person.

Meet Mal’vion, a Drow Barbarian whose connection to the Underdark runs deeper than he’d like to admit. The scars across his face are remnants of an old ritual, one that left him carrying something monstrous within him. When his rage takes over, that monster emerges, transforming him into a massive Drider. Now he wanders the surface, trying to understand the curse within him while learning to turn it into a weapon rather than letting it control him. Art made by me for a player's original character.

My review of Arcana Unleashed (no AI was used in any of the images or writing for this article). Wizards of the Coast did provide me with a review copy but I was otherwise not compensated.

I wanted to see what a journey across almost the entire Forgotten Realms map would actually look like, so I plotted one in Toril Explorer, an unofficial FR interactive map I've been building.

The route starts in Baldur's Gate and ends in Chunming, a city in eastern Kara-Tur, in Shou Lung, on the coast of the Celestial Sea.

Most of the journey follows established roads. From Baldur's Gate, the route runs east to Westgate, a major port on the Sea of Fallen Stars with a rather notorious reputation.

From there, the route crosses the Sea of Fallen Stars by ship to Sultim, a port in northern Mulhorand. Then it's back onto the roads, heading east until Lake Brightstar, which requires another water crossing. After that, the route continues east, crosses the northern reaches of the Yehimal Mountains, and enters the vast plains and hills of Shou Lung, following its roads all the way to Chunming.

The complete route is about 8,328 miles: roughly 6,828 miles on roads, 1,342 miles over water, and only about 158 miles of trackless land. The distance itself is calculated geodesically using Toril's planetary model rather than by measuring straight lines on a flat map, which matters quite a bit over a journey of this scale.

Using the 2024 D&D 5e rules, normal walking pace, 8 hours of travel per day, and a vessel speed of 3 mph, Toril Explorer estimates the journey at about 347 travel days. That's very much a best-case baseline: good weather, no encounters, no magical shortcuts, and so on.

I'm more of a tech/map guy than a lore expert, so I'd be interested to hear which part of this route would actually be the most dangerous.

Is it save or suck? Is it entirely too situational? Does it have a much better alternative? Does it take too long to cast? Etc.

With the (I'm gonna say hundreds?) of spells in DnD now I'd like to hear what you all consider to be the most versatile spell that every mage should try to have prepared at all times.

This can obviously include anything from any edition within reason lol

Do you guys ever think about ootd?

I mean, I guess everyone worries about their character’s look when the adventure begins, but after that I have a huge amount of fun thinking about how my OC is dressing. Is it a warm day? Is it raining? Can I have my hood on? Idk, this is a very tiny part of role playing, but it helps me so much to tune in with the whole scene inside my head.

Another thing is food. I tried to get my party to stop for meals in game so we could have at least one silly talking moment in every game–day, but no one agreed lol T_T

We have lots of role playing, but I really enjoy the interactions that are not totally related to the main quest. Also, improvising background topics is a very fun and challenging thing. Do you guys have any thoughts?

This is Arya btw! my character! and her party :3

Hello! I've recently opened my commissions, and I'm currently doing headshot and bust up drawings of DnD OCs or characters! I recently got into DnD, and I'm starting with smaller pieces since full body is a lot right now and I'm still new to DnD

Prices vary based on what you ask for, and you can find that information on my socials (TikTok & Instagram) at Khukeii, or at [khukeiicoms@gmail.com](mailto:khukeiicoms@gmail.com) :>

I'd love to draw any OCs or characters and help bring them to life just a little more!

Question is in the Title

I will be starting to play in a campaign soon (5.5)
And when I read about the Rune Knight I remember this ancient Game called „White Knight Chronicles“ and I thought

I could do that

So, I wanted to know if anyone has any experience or maybe tried something like this out yet and also how you guys incorporated it into the lore

Also added a sketch of my Charakter and his Armor Suit idea
