So in my current campaign my party attended a masquerade to figure out who the BBEG is.

Well one of my players decided to try to question one of the suspects more deeply. His plan was to knock out the suspect and question him after tying him up. The other players advised him not to do that. As soon as he was alone with his suspect he decided to attack - too bad, that this suspect was in fact the BBEG and managed to down and kill the PC.

This obviously pissed off the other players which caused a bit of a debate.

Anyways while the other players kept playing, the player started to think of a new character and honestly cooked; a while back his now dead PC started a romance with an NPC, who originally was a tavern maid but eventually moved into the bastion of the party.

His plan now is for her to create a pact with a demon to become a warlock to get her revenge and possibly get her lover back. He really wants to embrace the struggle between good and evil, playing a Chaotic Good Warlock of the Undead.

Im really hyped to see his new character and the reaction from the others. Just had to share this little story

One map. Six ways to tell the story.

• I wonder if they used the Rocks from here to build this..
• We were told to arrive by Sea at Night in order to fulfill the prophecy.
• To think something this large could be located in this Desert!
• This has been here in the Sea this whole time. How did we miss this in the Daylight before now?
• I told you the gods would curse us with Snow if you touched it!
• This used to be a water basin, how did it end up Dry like this?

Same battlefield. Completely different encounters.

Happy gaming!

In my last group, even when I was brand new to the game, the 2 DMs in it didn't like that I wrote descriptions for what spells and abilities do. I cant name every spell or tell you exactly how they work, same goes with abilities. Given the sheer number of them I would write brief descriptions of what they did in a character sheet I made in Google Docs so I wouldn't have to open the rule book constantly to see what the damage on a spell was for example. Something I assumed would be common apparently became an issue when I made a brief comment I was writing down what my new spells did after a level up, with the DMs telling me "you should already know if your playing a Warlock" or "study out of game." For reference I was still new to the game and they knew it at the time, I was also a college student at the time so any time I could've spent studying D&D spells and abilities was spent studying IT stuff. I found it odd that simply taking notes of what a spell did was enough to cause a problem, thats like playing Destiny and being expected to know what every Exotic weapon and armor piece does right out of the gate. Or playing War Thunder and being expected to know every vehicle's weak spot as a new player.

I started playing again recently with a new group. I haven't mentioned any of this yet but is writing down spell and abilitie descriptions really frowned upon or was my old DM just crazy?

I was playing a semi-serious One-Shot a while ago and made her as my character. She was one of my favorites to play since I started DnD tbh so I finally drew her!

Backstory: When she was still a child, a werewolf attacked her grandmother while she was visiting and Scarlett narrowly escaped with her life, thanks to the hunter who came to her rescue in the last seconds. Scarred, hurt and traumatized, the young girl refused to leave his side henceforth and became his apprentice, learning to hunt monsters. Now, her mentor has sent her on her first solo mission, and Scarlett is eager to prove herself - despite being a very obvious scrawny teenager (She is 1,53m and 15) who most hesitate to employ for even simple tasks.

I hope the reference is very obvious. :D I love fairytale characters

Some fires are lit to bring warmth. Others are meant to keep something away.

He was once the quiet guardian of a small mountain settlement, a place where travelers could find shelter regardless of their origins, their past, or the trouble following them. He spent most of his days tending the communal hearth, listening to stories from wandering merchants, exhausted adventurers, and people who had nowhere else to go. He rarely spoke about himself, believing that a good listener was often more valuable than a good storyteller.

One winter night, however, the settlement was visited by something that should never have crossed into the mortal world. A strange blue fire spread through the village, consuming wood, stone, and even the shadows of those caught in its path. When the flames finally died, the settlement was gone. Yet, among the ashes, he found his old sword untouched, its blade now carrying the same mysterious blue fire that had destroyed his home.

Rather than abandon it, he took the weapon and began searching for the source of the phenomenon. Over time, he discovered that the flames were not entirely destructive. They reacted to things that had been forgotten, revealing traces of lost memories and forgotten promises. Sometimes, when he rested beside a campfire, the blade would whisper fragments of conversations he had once heard in the village.

He now wanders from settlement to settlement, offering his sword whenever someone needs protection, but never asking for payment before hearing their story. He has learned that not every fire needs to be extinguished, and not every ghost needs to be laid to rest. Some things simply need someone willing to remember them.

And whenever someone asks why his sword burns with such an unusual light, he gives the same quiet answer: "Because some flames deserve to live longer than the people who lit them."

This was a commission I had a wonderful time working on! I really enjoyed bringing Vaelith to life, especially exploring his design, the atmosphere, and the contrast between the warm firelight and the mysterious blue flames. It's always a pleasure to turn such an interesting character concept into a finished piece. Thank you for trusting me with this one!

If you liked it, here are my social media profiles, feel free to check out more of my work here 🤝

Hand-crafted from only the finest hot glue and Dr Pepper box cardboard. Took ~7 hours, painted with a black underlayer and then dry-brushed with acrylic paint to the best of my ability. I wanted it a little bigger, but it turned out great otherwise! It's shockingly sturdy. Should be a great final boss for my table. The only thing I have to do now is try to keep it a secret!

If you want to make your own, I puzzled out the pattern from this tutorial:

https://youtu.be/yCnfW4EE9Ek?si=oopXymMRpBRW91Kb

Unfortunately the links he provides to the (free) patterns don't work, but I was able to copy the patterns shown in the video and put my dragon together. All needed parts are shown, and this guy seems to hand-make plenty of other miniatures and models.

Race: Mountain Dwarf
Gender: Male
Age: 228
Class: Battle Master Warrior
Level: 16

This character is a general within a faction of monster hunters in a homebrew game, a dwarf who is, for all intents and purposes, a force of nature.

He primarily leads his troops through tactical and strategic planning during long campaigns, delegating the management of internal conflicts and supply logistics to his highly efficient captains.
Only when the situation allows (and the battlefield is spacious enough for him to unleash his full might) does he take to the front lines to lead his troops in person.

As an experienced hunter and general, he adorns much of his armor with trophies from his latest kills.
The only two items in his set that never change are his axe and his helmet; both are cursed, granting him immense power at a terrible cost.

Because of these curses, Garoum exists in a state of perpetual fury that borders on madness when he has to take his axe to battle.

Many say that the most dangerous place to be on a battlefield is anywhere near him.

This is actually an older one, but I hadn't posted it here yet. I recall being really hung up on this one because I just could decide on what animals to draw. Even now, even though I quite like how this one turned out, I feel like making some variants of it in the future would be great to capture all the different animals people like to use for this spell.

Functionally, this spell both strong and well liked. Its great for scouting, roleplay, and depending on how your games run, be a great way of gaining advantage in combat. I'm curious about the familiars that some of you have come up with for your own characters or fun situations that came out of having one in the party.

You can get this spell as a print from my Etsy store.
