I wanted to play DND with a few of my friends (12-13 year olds) and I asked my brother to be the dungeon master for it, he said sure but after he finishes school. When it was brought up to my mom, she said my brother could get in trouble and be arrested and that my friends parents wouldnt let them play because of my brother. My brother isnt a weird person and he's really kind. I'm starting to doubt if I want to play DND with my brother and friends now. Is it weird for my brother to be the dungeon master?

EDIT: To clarify, I'm a girl and I'm likely inviting mostly girls, I also live in USA (It's a bit hard to read everyone's comments so I will try to reply if you ask something)

EDIT (2): Also please don't put anything super weird, I'm too curious for my own good and I will likely deep dive to find out what some of you guys (as in everyone) are saying

So why these dice?

We're currently working on a new 5.5e D&D edition of The Painted Wastelands, our award winning psychedelic fantasy campaign setting in a dream world. It's full of bizarre creatures, dream magic, desert weirdos, hexcrawl exploration, gorgeous artwork, and an actual playable Cat.

When I saw these amber-and-purple dice, they looked like they belonged there.

If that sounds like your kind of D&D, you can see The Painted Wastelands 5.5e and follow the upcoming campaign here:

Following the campaign isn't required to enter the giveaway. But if you follow our project you will receive a free preview PDF.

Good luck!

Question:

In the Painted Wastelands you can play as yourself! You can have +2 and +1 to any two abilities or +1 to any three abilities. You just have to convince everyone at the table to agree. What ability bonuses would you give yourself?

You don't have to answer that to enter. Any comment counts.

At the end of todays session an npc prayed to one of the gods for the safe passage of someone who passed on which summoned the little devil dressed in a bespoke suit and a long smoking pipe named “Abacus” who tells them that they are the one who keeps track of all that pass away and gives the npc a number to keep track of the soul.

The players asked where all the souls go to and Abacus told them they are suspended in a sort of purgatory and described it as “all the souls that were meant to pass on are now in a bag and that bag is stuck in a deep dark pit” and really emphasizes the fact that the souls were in a “bag” and talked about it as if it were something so inconsequential and my players told me that both in and out of game they felt unsettled at the idea of such a purgatory
[note: my players liked this because it was creepy.]

I made an amazing (imho) cake for my son’s birthday, it only went a tiny bit awry! The party had to put down their forks and grab the swords to defeat what turned out to be a delicious mimic cake. A swarm of jello gelatinous cubes were also in attendance. The cubes were a surprise hit, not only are they cute as heck, but you make them double strength so they’re surprisingly tasty as well. His friends enjoyed it tremendously, and apparently his DM worked it into this weekend’s session!

We were playing a session with our DM today and i get how fun it is now whenever you see the workings of your DM crumble. I could totally tell that our DM planned this extreamly epic fight for our party with 3 epic monsters in a cramped room after fighting some wights and getting our health lowered temporarily. It was supposed to be a tough fight from what i can see that our DM had planned cause he initially showed only one monster but then revealed there was another hiding on the roof and then another hiding in a passage. It was meant to be glorious, but we decided fuck all of that. The wizard of the party cast web and that covered the entire space creating difficult terrain while we were still in the corridor looking in the room. i (The warlock of the party) cast hunger of hader which constantly destroyed their health at every turn. Everytime the monsters tried to come close to us. They had to do a strength and dex save to realease them from the web and if they failed. More damage from hunger of hader. If they got too close. Used Eldritch blast(repelling blast) to send them back into hunger of hader and everyone in the party just kept spamming range spells. Faced 3 epic monster. No one lost any health cause hunger of hader tore them to pieces. My DM laughed about it cause that wasnt what he was expecting at all. It was supposed to be this epic battle but it was just pure bullying. This is my first time playing DND and first time ruining/surprising a DMs plan. It was fun to subvert all his plans.

Edit: some of you seem to think i see the DM as some kind of adversary. Hell no. I love our DM, he helped me fall in love with DND even more. He makes the game fun, gives advice when its needed and helped me planned out the build. It was just fun seeing for the first time that even DMs cant control everything if the players decide to be tactical with how they fight. Before i started playing and just watching. I always had this idea that DMs were just gods and every plan and everything you do was up to them. It was fun to know that sometimes they find the chaos funny as well and weaving a story within that chaos really raises the respect i have for em. Not everything or everyone is looking for a fight.

Hey everyone!

I recently had the pleasure of working on this red Tiefling design for a player. I was given a thorough description of what her appearance should be, as well as a few visual references as a guide to work from.

I really enjoyed doing this piece, as Tieflings are some of the coolest characters to draw. I liked the style aesthetic that the player was going for as well, somewhat alternative, but with clothing acquired over time in an effort to present in a specific way. Mismatched and somewhat rugged, yet dark and expressive.

I also enjoy blending medieval/fantasy aesthetics with modern styles, as it makes for really fun and interesting looks for characters.

Overall this was one of my favorites to do so far, and I look forward to drawing many more characters soon.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my 3D miniature for my character, a level 1 druid. I am getting ready for my first game. As a rookie, I appreciate all suggestions and discussions!

Melianth – Level 1 Wood Elf Druid

Core Stats

• HP: 10
• AC: 15 (Hide Armor + Shield)
• Speed: 35 ft.
• Proficiency Bonus: +2
• Spell Save DC: 13 / Spell Attack: +5

Here's her backstory if anyone is interested:

Melianth spent centuries tending to an ancient, silent redwood grove. She was a simple guardian, her green braided hair often confused for the moss that grew on the bark, her presence barely felt by the few creatures who passed through. But the world changes. A creeping blight—not a natural rot, but something artificial and cold—is starting to infect the deepest roots of her home. Melianth, whose demeanor is as melancholic and quiet as the moss she tends, realized she could no longer just watch. She took a cutting from the most ancient root-heart, and is venturing forth to find the source of this decay.

Trying to get into the game with this little goober! For a quick backstory:

*Born the child of a seamstress, she lived alone in a small village on the outskirts of the great city of Stratos. A small farming community, they did their best to live and make a living, and Hydrangea was well on her way to take up her mother’s profession, that was until a plague hit their town. A bad crop spoilage led to the entire community falling ill. She and her mother both caught it, and both fell deathly ill. Despite the pain they were both in, her mother did her best to ensure she could get better, bringing her from the brink of death.*

*By the time any help came many died, including her mother. One of only a fair few survivors, Hydrangea did her best to pick up the pieces of her life, but found little joy in the crafts her mother taught her anymore, especially as she developed a closer connection to the world of spirits and the dead. While she initially thought she might be able to commune with the spirit of her mother, she found she couldn’t find it anywhere. Instead she bonded with the spirit of an old farmer who also died in the plague named Crystin.*

*With the village diminished to this point, she eventually left to instead travel. She found a new calling in her ability to commune and understand the dead, as well as learning herbalism and medicine to aid those she found along the road. While she is still a very reserved person, she does her best to comfort both the living and dead. Not to say she’s helpless, her new sorcerous arts are just as capable of attacking others as they are healing, but she’s not one to rush into a fight unless she has to.*

She might not know where she wants to end up but she has traveled all the way to Dawn harbor in the hopes she might continue to develop her skills.

Thall'en is a Wood Elf Bladesinger character I created not too long ago. From the very beginning, one of his defining traits was the mask he always wore, keeping his face completely hidden from the rest of the party. No one really knew what he looked like beneath it, and that mystery slowly became an important part of his identity.

During one of our sessions, however, something happened that forced Thall'en to finally remove his mask. Since his face was revealed in-game for the first time, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to actually design and draw what he looked like underneath.

I originally loved the idea of him being this mysterious masked elven swordsman, but after finally giving him a face, I ended up liking the character even more. It feels like he has much more personality now, while still keeping that elegant and slightly mysterious Bladesinger vibe I originally imagined for him.

My intention for this club is to introduce kids to table top gaming. I've done DnD for my kid for a while and watched a bunch of Dimension 20.

My intention was to do a rules lite 5e and do a one shot every week before they switch up the groups.

If you were tasked with leading a class on tabletop gaming and only had 3 weeks to teach the 12-14 year old kids to play and have them enjoy themselves, what would you do?

95% of them are not the type to dive into the rulebook to learn how to play.

Edit: There will not be 30 people in one party, I plan to break them up into groups of five

Edit 2: I will have the same 30 kids, 30 minutes a day, everyday, for 3 weeks

Edit 3: reiterating edit 2, we will have 15 30 minute sessions, with the same group of 30 kids.
