We've been playing this campaign for 2.5 years now. Even though the character I play has currently changed (The Sorcerer sided with the BBEG the previous DnD Session), this illustration is still one of my favourite ones and I still think about it to this day! We even managed to print it and every member of the party now has a copy!

I hope you like it! :)

Hey everyone,

A few years ago I decided I was tired of having to wait for so long between tabletop sessions with no way to scratch that 5e itch. So I started developing a roguelike/roguelite that uses the 5e ruleset (for quick-ish runs and replayability).
Now, 4 years later, it's ready to be shown to the world.

The Bell Tolls is a turn-based roguelike where you customize a party of adventurers with gear, feats and spells. Every midnight the Corruption spreads, so you must venture out to destroy its source before it reaches Town.

One big thing I changed from the tabletop rules is that there’s no movement on the grid during battle. Characters shield those behind them in the same row, so you’ll need ranged abilities to reach the back line (similar to Darkest Dungeon). Or just kill the enemies in the front I suppose.

Steam page (coming in 2027, playtest signups open): https://store.steampowered.com/app/5123990/?utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=announce&utm_content=dnd

Currently I've implemented the Fighter, Wizard, Paladin and Cleric to choose from when assembling the party. Which is your favorite class from 5e that you'd like to see implemented?

EDIT: I'm getting tons of great ideas for other classes. Can't believe I didn't ask you guys before. Thanks!
Also, for those of you who requested access to the playtest, there's a discord where I'll give access to members in the first wave, in case you're interested. I'll post the link as a comment below, in case it's not allowed here.

I've been drawing a D&D party where every member is a dog. So far there's a Borzoi Cleric, a Basset Hound Fighter, a Chihuahua Barbarian, and now my Husky Bard!

I tried not to make them too human so his instrument was the tricky part. A dog can't really play a lute, and a floating instrument felt like a cop-out. I did do a sketch where he had one of those harmonica hookups but it looked dumb…Then I remembered music boxes exist. I thought he could use his mouth to wind it up and the howl along to the melody.

I think any tavern would be happy to have this good boy

The average NPC probably doesn’t know the lore behind Nilbogs, and thus would think they were a goblin with really cracked magic of some kind.

This presents the perfect opportunity to have NPCs dealing with a Nilbog problem to, completely and unironically with a straight face, call them a Mind Goblin.

Your party will suspect it’s all a joke. Then they actually FIGHT the thing, and that statblock imo can make for some of the most genuinely-interesting fights in a campaign, just based on how it messes with the typical rules

As a half-elf Draconic Sorcerer, her acidic green magic comes from surviving a black dragon's ritualistic blood-pact.

Her clan tried to sacrifice her to appease the ancient wyrm, but her elven blood mutated the corruption instead of killing her.

Now she wanders the realm hunting down the cultists who betrayed her, using the dragon's stolen toxic magic and her own sheer spite to burn their empire to the ground.

(Repost bc I apparently didn't read the rules last time.)

I have a couple newer players who have really struggled during combat. They would take a long time to figure out their turn, and needed reminders on how certain things worked, and often forgot about key features of their characters. And I don't blame them—character sheets are anything but intuitive, and I remember how I struggled when I first started out.

So I made them individualized combat cheat sheets. I tried to make them work like a menu: pick a main (action), an appetizer/desert (bonus action), etc. I designed them to hint towards how best to use certain features, and simplified/combined things as much as I could, knowing that if an edge case came up I could always clarify in the moment.

With these on hand, combat last week went much, much faster and the newer players got some awesome heavy hits in, so I'd call it a success!

Here is my current 3.0/3.5 library it is still a work in progress I try my best to sort it in a way that makes sense in my mind bottom shelf is players books starting at the left I have my 3.0 followed by my 3.5 players handbooks followed by players handbook two and the epic level hand book. Then I move into the races books I have destiny,stone,wild then savage species. After that we come to my collection of the complete books(adventurer,champion,warrior,scoundrel,arcane,divine,mage,psionics) i also have tome of battle psionics handbooks and expanded psionics and unearthed arcana.

Then we move on to exalted deeds,vile darkness,libris mortis,heros of battle and miniature handbook. Then is magic of incarnum,faerun,tome of magic,spell compendium,arms and equipment and the magic item compendium, lastly on the bottom shelf a world/environment books being frostburn,stormwreck,sandstorm, dungeonscape, oriental adventures, and last but not least drow of the underdark.

TOP SHELF-dm and miscellaneous

3.0 dmg,3.5 DMG, DMG 2, monster manuals 1-5,fiend folio, fiendish codex 1&2.

Campaign settings books (dragonlance,eberon,forgotten realms,underdark) also have dragonmicon, faiths and pantheons,shining south, manual of the planes, deities and demigods, book of challenges and then some miscellaneous adventurers and expedition books wrapping up the top shelf os the greyhawk gazateer,3.0 expanded classes soft covers, and most of the dungeon magazines covering the age of worms adventure path.

So what books that I am missing would y'all consider as must haves?

This was a commission I had the pleasure of working on for one of my clients, featuring her original character: a tiefling with beautiful pink skin and matching pink hair. If I remember correctly, she was a sorcerer, which made her design even more interesting to work with!

We decided to incorporate some unique details to give the character a more distinctive appearance, including some special touches to her hairstyle and a redesigned outfit/armor to better match her personality and overall aesthetic.

I had a lot of fun working on this piece, especially exploring the different details and bringing the character's design to life. I'm really happy with how everything turned out, and thankfully, my client loved the final result as well!

I'd love to hear your thoughts! What do you think of this character and her design? Let me know in the comments!

Meet my Oni! I wanted to take a creature that’s usually the villain of the story and see how far I could push the design before people stopped trusting him. He’s got the three eyes, the horns, the scars, and the blood-stained gear of a veteran fighter, but he’s also big, round, and calm, with a sword he doesn’t seem in any hurry to draw.

So I’m curious: what’s your first impression? Would you invite him to your party, or run the other way? I’m picturing him as either an NPC ally or a morally gray encounter in a campaign, so I’d love to hear how you’d use him at your table.

Any feedback on the design is welcome too!

little showcase of my character-focused artwork! I particularly enjoy illustrating fantasy characters, adventurers, and the kinds of personalities you’d encounter in a D&D campaign.

I’m a freelance artist with 2 years of commission experience, specializing in anime and semi-realistic character illustrations.

I’m currently open to commissions, including:

D&D character portraits

Full-body character illustrations

Character design sheets

Party and group illustrations

Fantasy scenes

Custom character concepts

If you’d like to have your own adventurer brought to life, I’d love to hear about your character!
