A few Christmas' ago I was gifted this oversized d20 during my dnd group gift swap. The moment I held it I thought it felt like a shift nob. Fast forward a couple of years and I am restoring my 07 Subaru impreza I remembered the d20 and decided to turn it into a custom shift nob. I took the oversized d20 and drilled it out. Then I friction fit a threaded insert with a M10x 1.25 thread pitch. I used a second nut at the base that I can tighten against so the 20 faces the right direction. If the friction fit starts to fail I will probably try to epoxy it in place. I avoided it initially because I didn't want to risk getting epoxy on the threads. Would you guys drive with one? OK I think I have run out the word count to post. But just to be safe: I CAST POTATO!

Anaxandria Ir-Arma

Anaxandria has only come into power within the last few months. Outwardly, she does not seem to rule through quiet diplomacy; she rules through explicit force, intimidation, economic restructuring, and swift, public demonstration. Wealthy merchant estates and former royal holdings in the upper terraces have been seized, partially converted into barracks for the Serat forces, or repurposed as state storehouses to control food distribution.

Anaxandria is not someone who craves a crown out of vanity; she is a survivor of a brutal, systemic hell who views the entire world as a cage that must be broken. Her personality is forged from the cruelty of her early life as an enslaved chattel in Ilindama. Because her birth name was stripped from her and she had to kill to claim a new one, identity to her is something earned, not given. She views weakness and dependency as existential threats. She is fiercely, terrifyingly independent and expects the same relentless self-reliance from those around her. Her deep-seated hatred for aristocratic privilege stems from personal trauma. She knows what it feels like to be treated as property. Hence why she handed the Dirt District back to the poor and tore down the old Aruna Pradesh rule. She doesn't just want to conquer; she wants to humiliate and dismantle the machinery of inherited power.

I’m trying to get back into art/drawing again so I’m doing a random wheel spinner to choose race/class/background/alignment for new DnD characters to draw. My first day was an Air Genasi Druid - Urchin - CN ~ reallly leans into my comfort zone but that might be good for my motivation.

What backstory or name would you give her?

And if anyone has any suggestions or tips to stay motivated creatively or find irl dnd groups it would be a pleasure to hear them. I often go through months long phases where I don’t draw at all and my regular dnd group split up (badly there was a falling out between other members ;( ) before the summer too and I yearn to roll dice so I’m gonna have to go out in the real world soon and find people to play with again (hopefully with some of the previous group too). I felt like a child of divorce after some members of the party went their separate ways.

Pretty much what it says on the tin. I'm a relatively new and inexperienced DM, I probably have under 10 sessions to my name. I've read the Dungeon Masters Guide and I currently am dual campaigning Tyranny of Dragons and a Homebrew Campaign (Which is currently on pause because if a players circumstance).

In my Tyranny of Dragons campaign I have 4 players, two of which are first-timers. The other two are from my homebrew Campaign, so one has experience from that and the other has been playing DND for 5+ years. As of right now, they're all Level 1 (Sorcerer, Bard, Artificer and Ranger).

The player I am having troubles with is the experienced player, who is playing a Level 1 Tabaxi Ranger. In my other campaign, they're playing a relatively fair Level 3 Aasimar Cleric who just has super high Arcana modifiers, but is otherwise tame. Somehow, their ranger character has a +10 to hit at 1st level, which I don't even know how. They tend to steamroll all combat encounters because of this, and it's affecting the enjoyment of me as a DM and causing them to spotlight themselves, affecting the enjoyment of other players. It's something I don't really know how to navigate. Any advice?

Is it normally appropriate to ask your players to edit their character sheets in circumstances like this?

Edit: I haven't given any players a magic item to start and they did manual/rolled entries. They do have a 20 in Dex from that rolled entry.

Ilyarion Valtris (Ilya for friends) is a high elf warlock for a D&D Greyhawk campaign, I was commissioned by Abi (Abigail R. Thenthirath, which happens to be a writer also) to bring him to life in this format (character sheet)

I'll leave you guys with the little text she wrote for his sheet :]

"He was meant for harbors, titles, and the cold inheritance of an old elven house. Instead, Ilyarion inherited loss. Now the high-elf warlock crosses the mainland with a bound sword at his side, strange power in his blood, and no understanding of the patron behind either. Quiet, watchful, and more tender than his composure allows, he is a nobleman remade by exile, slowly learning who he is beyond the duties and grief that shaped him. He tells himself he is searching for answers. In truth, he is following the shape of a love that outlived disaster, and the memory of the one person he has never stopped reaching for"

Thank you for the space!!

Hi everyone!

I really enjoyed running my Kobolds & Kobolds giveaway here, so with Halloween coming up, I wanted to come back with something a little darker!

I’m giving away 5 digital copies of my new adventure, The Red Tithe, through DriveThruRPG, with one copy each for 5 winners.

What is The Red Tithe?

The Red Tithe is a dark fantasy and folk-horror one-shot compatible with 5E (2014) and 5.5E (2024), designed for 3-6 characters and approximately 4-6 hours of play.

For generations, the isolated village of Hollowmere has maintained a terrible tradition: whenever nightmares and supernatural disturbances plague the settlement, one villager is sacrificed beneath Saint Harrow’s Church to keep an ancient horror imprisoned.

But this time, something has gone wrong.

A blood-covered survivor has fled the village, claiming that everyone is dead. The supply wagon has failed to arrive, and the adventurers are sent to investigate what happened.

The adventure combines investigation, exploration, roleplaying, moral dilemmas, and challenging combat. As the characters uncover the truth behind the village’s tradition, they’ll have to decide how far they’re willing to go to save those who remain.

One of the things I wanted to do was make the same story playable at three very different level ranges:

• Tier I: Levels 3-4.
• Tier II: Levels 10-11.
• Tier III: Levels 17-20.

Each tier has adjusted encounters, DCs, and enemies, including a different manifestation of the adventure’s main antagonist. You can run it as a standalone horror session or work it into an existing campaign.

The manual also includes 6 custom monster statblocks, 3 battle maps with 8 total versions, and 4 tokens for tabletop or VTT play.

How to Enter

Just leave a comment on this post.

Any comment from an account that is at least 3 months old counts as an entry. One entry per account, and no purchase is necessary.

If you’d like something to talk about, I’d love to hear what makes a D&D horror adventure genuinely unsettling for you. But answering that is completely optional; any comment counts!

The giveaway closes on Friday, October 23, 2026, at 8:00 PM CEST / 7:00 PM BST / 2:00 PM EDT / 11:00 AM PDT / 6:00 PM UTC.

After it closes, I’ll use RedditRaffler to randomly select 5 winners and edit this post with the public results. I’ll contact each winner directly with a code to redeem their digital copy through DriveThruRPG.

All five prizes are digital, so there are no physical-shipping restrictions for this giveaway.

You can check out The Red Tithe on DriveThruRPG for more details. I’ve also shared preview pages, maps, and a monster statblock over at r/JonnyDM if you’d like a closer look.

Good luck, thank you for supporting my work, and I hope Hollowmere finds its way into a few of your Halloween sessions!

Obituary..

Zan Zanzibar, high flame of the tempest, reveared son or Zar Zanzibar, died last Tuesday night defending his party while they made their escape. Took a non recoverable necrotic death ray to the face from a particularily nasty beholder while severly wounded, as his own fireball finished him off.

Zan is survived by Zel, Elain, Remmy and Fancyman3000.

May you find peace in the here after you glorious bastard.

After two years of playing this character every other weekend I just wanted to share.

Its funny I feel weird rolling up a new character, like I need a session or two to grieve. Have you felt this?

This is a piece I was commissioned to make recently.

"Bylo Stonefur is an ursine artillerist artificer. Coming from a long line of druids and barbarians, he was obsessed from childhood with fire, and his inquisitive mind drove him to investigate means of creating and manipulating it. A wondering tradesman and artificer once came through his home town and he was fascinated by his arts, quickly becoming his apprentice and going with him in his travels. After learning the basics of tinkering and magic, and seeing increasingly suspicious activity from his master, Bylo was surprised by him one day when he asked him to commit a horrible crime. He abandoned him, but his master swore to find him and kill him. He now is on the move to escape and become more powerful to one day confront him."

I'm currently open for commissions in case anyone is interested! you can see prices and info here:

I developed the character based on the following brief, which was accompanied by a few visual references.

Yrindis, the black sheep of a fallen noble family.

Throughout her childhood, she was raised with a single purpose: to marry and save her family from losing their privileges. She was kept surrounded by a façade of extravagance and educated in what she considered the most tedious subjects: embroidery, manners, dancing, and etiquette.

As she grew older, she gradually began to reveal her rebellious spirit, sneaking away to visit nearby villages on her own and get to know the people who lived there. During one of these excursions, she came across an old mage who was helping the village women with matters related to their crops, and asked if she could take part.

The mage saw in her a spark and a thirst for knowledge she hadn't encountered in years. After completing a short ritual in which Yrindis proved useful, the mage offered to become her mentor. Yrindis accepted without a second thought. Her family never heard from her again, though they are still searching for her.

As she grew older, Yrindis realized she had become a strikingly beautiful young woman. She would use these attributes, along with her refined manners, to persuade the village's rulers and gradually secure better living conditions for the people around her.

Physical description

She has a piercing, intense, and seductive gaze that reflects her determination and fiery spirit. She has fair skin, long blonde hair adorned with a crown, and an elegant yet somewhat vulgar style of dress. Her outfit features a sweetheart neckline, silk sleeves, and gold details that subtly remind us that, despite having left her family behind, she is still a noblewoman.
