Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

Had the chance to work on this art for a client recently! Here’s some basic info about the characters.

Left to right, top to bottom.
- Kalashar monk. He looks physically human but is almost always wearing a mask. He's extremely deadly, but is very close to his sister.

- Aasimar druid. He's very into growing vegetables and tending his compost heap, which may also contain the bodies of some cultists.
- Elf bard. She got a little tired of big city fame and is relishing the chance to be a small town bard for a while.

- Dwarf cleric. Owner / operator of hooligan's. Generally good natured but very protective of her party and the tavern and has absolutely no tolerance for drunks or creepy cultists.

- Goblin ranger. Small and green and grumpy but generally a good dude. Hints of a dark and possibly violent past, but mainly he just wants to cook. A real beer for breakfast type bro.

I really enjoy drawing fantasy characters and coming up with designs for D&D campaigns. I think one of the most interesting things about character art is how differently people can interpret the same design. You might picture a completely different personality or story than the artist had in mind!

So I'm curious, if you encountered this character in your campaign, what kind of character would you imagine her as? What class would you give her, and what sort of personality or backstory do you think would fit her?

Drew u/the_vengefull-one 's character.

Description : (As provided by the user) She's kind of an oddities merchant, she doesn't accept normal currency since she doesn't have any use for it but trades items. The party first met her in an abandoned guard outpost where she set up shop, and she traded the party for items they looked shiny for what was effectively mystery boxes (items wrapped up in spider silk).

The party got stuck in a realm called "The Demon Web Pits" (which is her original home and where Driders are made) and she got sent to their aid when Lazar and another companion got shunted back to the normal world.

I got a request from a player recently to draw their character, a human fighter and knight. The player said they were a fan of my stylized work, and wanted their character drawn with the same level of heavy stylization. I’ll hopefully get to do their entire party in this style soon, but I wanted to share this one for now.

I didn’t receive much backstory, but they described the character as being very stern and protective, yet with a warm personality when you get to know him.

As for his appearance, they left it fairly open, so long as his look felt very medieval and not too modern, which explains the hairstyle and beard style I went with. They did request he have dark brown hair and some red in his attire, and that he wield a basic one handed sword.

Overall I am very pleased with how he turned out, as I like working in this style most. This is essentially my true style, it’s nice to draw the way things come naturally to me, and not try and be super “realistic” every time. I definitely look forward to doing more characters this way!

I always find it quite charming. I’m not referring to a summary, but rather when it’s woven into the plot or the dialogue of NPCs, it always brings a smile to my face. It makes you feel special and happy, because on a meta level, you know that your past actions have led to consequences, and now, as you set off on a new journey, you have to deal with them, whether they’re positive or negative.

For example, while we were asking for information regarding a quest, a merchant mentioned that a few months ago, the duke of a neighbouring county was the target of an assassination attempt; however, thanks to "two guards, a mercenary, and a member of the church," he was saved and the assailants were captured. As a result, it is now necessary to fill out paperwork to cross the border into that duchy.

I’m a huge fan of mimics in my campaigns and am trying to figure out fun (but not excessive) ways to use them, so , what are your ideas?

Edit: y’all are evil and I love you all so much

Edit2: 100 UPVOTES WHAT? I JUST ASKED A QUESTION LOL. (love y’all)

I received an early review copy from WotC and put together this guide.

...And its been fun so far.

I'm playing a Diviner character in a Ravenloft campaign, and I talked with the DM and said my primary divination method was with Tarot cards.

By our second session, they'd decided to replace the weal/woe responses with Tarot card selections (and providing the traditional explanations for them). Its been fun; getting The Tower as a readout for one question definitely made an impression.

I'm running a D&D campaign using the 2024 PHB. My players were caught in an explosion of creation energy and thrown 70 years into the future, where even ordinary people can use simple cantrips.

Recently, one of my players, a Druid, discovered Agonizing Blast while researching builds online and wanted to get it through a feat. I told them they couldn't take that feat because we hadn't included Tasha's Cauldron of Everything in our campaign. However, after looking through Tasha's and Xanathar's Guide to Everything, I really liked the additional options and started considering adding both books to our ongoing campaign.

Since the players were affected by creation energy, I'm also considering allowing them to switch to one of the newly available subclasses once, if they wish. Would introducing these books mid-campaign cause problems with game balance or fairness? Would you recommend allowing their subclasses, feats, and spells, and giving existing players this one-time opportunity to change subclasses? I'd love to hear your experiences.
