Personal triggering issue for me: artificial excuses why characters can't use their abilities. I started noticing it reading through Vecna- Eve of Ruin, but now I am noticing it in nearly upper tier adventure I see. It even shows up when I ask other DMs to give me feedback on a chapter I have written. The usual comment is "Better come up with a way to block teleportation or they are going to skip half the dungeon!"

No. If they want to use one of their precious high-level spell slots to skip a trap or even jump to the boss monster, they can do that. That's what epic adventurers do. Level 12 PCs are threats to evil kingdoms, they shouldn't have the same kind of adventures as lower tier PCs. Forcing them to play as lower tier PCs with more hit points is boring.

Write better stories that allow your powerful PCs to use their powerful abilities, don't take their abilities away with artificial silliness and re-tell the same old story. If you want them to be in danger from pit traps and slowly walk their way across the mystical forest of the pouty pines, then write your adventure for lower level PCs. The level high level heroes have got better things to do and more important things to deal with.

Thank you for tolerating my venting.

Pointy Hat - Probably my favorite right now. Long form videos that are funny, engaging, well researched, and well presented.

Treantmonk - Player Side Content - crunches the numbers to evaluate class and sub-class options. Best analyst in the game. Very nice. Too focused on the importance of doing damage.

Professor Dungeon Master - Older grognard channel, with a conflicted relationship with Hasbro, WOTC and D&D. Very smart. More meta commentary and high level observation. Focus of his popular videos is on trends in the industry, though he wishes people would watch his campaign diaries and mini-terrain building more instead.

The Dungeon Dudes - Hometown heroes for me. Great breadth of knowledge and experience, though I don't know if they do a lot of primary number crunching like Treantmonk does. I think they go more on vibes.

Ginni Di - I want to like Ginni Di. She's very charming and positive. But her interests in the game don't align with mine. Still very polished content for those more into the drama kid, less mechanical side of D&D. Excellent craft and cosplay.

There are lots of others I look at but I'm tired of writing summaries, so maybe you can. Like Colby at D4 Deep Dives, Bob World Builder, DNDShorts...

Please add to my list.

Being powerful doesn't mean being invincible. Not every adventurer understands that, especially mages. In their view, nothing can beat magic. This, of course, is wishful thinking and the realization usually comes too late.

I personally knew an archmage once. Loaded with magical artifacts like a walking reliquary, he got trapped inside a gelatinous cube. In the end, his arrogance proved to be his demise. Yet, the concentration of magic and his belief in himself within were so immense that something... took an interesting turn. Perhaps he became a revenant and took control of the jelly, or perhaps his very soul was absorbed by it. Hard to tell for sure. All we know now is that the cube has learned how to cast spells. It wanders the deep tunnels a living, glowing warning for the young and ignorant

Birch Queen, herald of Winter, walking amongst the autumn leaves 🍂 She is a protector of all plants and animals as they begin to lay down for their winter slumber, walking through the fallen leaves that form her cloak, framing her skirt of paper birch. Her staff allows her to control the weather, spreading a blanket of snow across the forest floor or creating a blinding blizzard if she discovers any trespassers. Mark yourself as a friend of the forest, and you grant yourself a powerful ally. Displease her...and suffer the severe consequences.

You can use her and any of my queens as an Archfey in your campaigns! All I ask is that you share your party's adventures with me if they encounter her!

I'm surprised to not have seen anyone discuss this here. Do you also think this is another sign ( after the shift to a "Franchise" model for instance) that WotC will be less and less of a publisher and more of a brand manager so to speak?

What do y'all think?

I did this art commission some months ago and other related pieces to this character that I loved! The commissioner is very creative, they came with this awesome idea of a goblin mutant with aboleth traits. The hair was one of the most fun things I found while making this.

It was a total of 7 awesome pieces of art, the goblin is a artificer that struggles getting control of the eldritch power laying beneath their bones and flesh.

Yall can find me as thegoodmano on social media :D

Hi! I made this art for my Magic School campaign inspired by JJK, Fullmetal Alchemist, Warframe and a few other things! These are four of the eight total NPC parties so there will eventually be another sheet thats the same size.

The parties are separated horizontally so for example the bottom four characters are the Barrelrollers, who are all based in Magitech. All of the species btw are homebrew so thats why we don't see any like orcs or tieflings <3

I made this mostly for fun but also to use as tokens when playing on roll20! If yall have any questions about the characters I'll try answer them as best I can!

Silas Brightwater born of a elven mother and a human father was raised on spelljammers all his life. New ships and new worlds explored were all he knew growing up. After the death of his parents, he was lost but found a crew that was willing to take him on and accept him for who he is.

Silas uses is abilities to be remembered but complete forgettable at the same time. You remember the charm and the swagger but completely see a blank face in your mind. Whether its finding treasure on a long forgotten planet or free a group of people from an oppressive system, Silas value friends, fairness, and freedom above all else.

While he enjoys treasure, he has not real ties things on monetary value. Most of what he finds, he gives to friends, strangers, or people that desperately need a helping hand. He's a guy that will buy you a round of drinks and now knows your entire life story.
