* New to Reddit? Check the Reddit 101 guide.

​

* If your account is less than 5 hours old, the /r/DnD spam dragon will eat your comment.

​

* If you are new to the subreddit, **please check the Subreddit Wiki**, especially the Resource Guides section, the FAQ, and the Glossary of Terms. Many newcomers to the game and to r/DnD can find answers there. Note that these links may not work on mobile apps, so you may need to briefly browse the subreddit directly through Reddit.com.

* **Specify an edition for ALL questions**. Editions must be specified in square brackets ([5e], [Any], [meta], etc.). If you don't know what edition you are playing, use [?] and people will do their best to help out. AutoModerator will automatically remind you if you forget.

​

* **If you have multiple questions unrelated to each other, post multiple comments** so that the discussions are easier to follow, and so that you will get better answers.

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.

Ragnhild Ossbane, Queen of the Fallen Dragon Lands

When King Halvard fell defending his people from the Wyvern Incursion — taking nearly a hundred of the beasts down with him before the end — the throne passed to his widow. Ragnhild is no courtly queen; she is a barbarian who earned her place through battle. Her armor is the pelt of a giant bear she slew with her own hands, its claw now worn as a trophy at her armor. She rules a kingdom still smoking from war, sword always within reach.

Character design by me.

I was bored and thought: hm, how about a stainless steel character sheet? I happen to operate a laser cutter for a living so why not mess around a bit after work hours.
Did it take way more time to do than expected? Yes
Was it worth it? Dunno yet.
Reusable? Damn right.
Why bother? Cus im stubborn as fuck.

Thats my 2nd attempt, the first one was more easily read but the engravings were not deep enough to my liking. the result is not perfect, but i still wanted to see what you guys think. Should i keep it as is? Or maybe sharpie the engravings to make it stand out more? The lighting reflections can make it hard to read so i gotta find a solution to that.
Im open to ideas.

Edit: i forgot to mention, i used the underside of a 18gage 304 stainless steel sheet. (A random leftover i had lying around). That and i forgot what else i wanted to mention. 😅

Nite es una tiefling de piel azulada y mirada incandescente que encierra una naturaleza calculadora y sádica; rechaza las ataduras comunes para seguir sus propios impulsos oscuros. De cabello largo, cuernos imponentes y marcas rituales en la piel, se siente atraída por los arcanos del Averno. Sus poderes nacen de un antiguo pacto con una presencia infernal que la fascina tanto como la inquieta. Camina por el filo de la tentación y el conocimiento prohibido, lista para doblegar voluntades sin importar el costo.

I've recently started running CoS again for a new group and it's allowed me to go back and use all my original animated scenes for the adventure. I have worked in the digital realm for so long with my painting, so this year I wanted to try my hand at the traditional method. So, since I've been practicing oil painting this year already, I thought "why not try and recreate some of my scenes on canvas?".

Let me know what you think of these and what other of my CoS scenes do you think would look cool as an oil painting?

P.S if you haven't seen the original animated scenes, you can check it out here

original art done by me, its a monster designed with tendrils sorta humanish features some armour and stuff u would find from paladins but added some gems to make it more interesting a crystal in the center of that pauldron.

i added a gem in his chest to as a weak point and a source of little bit of its power with the essence also coming around his bottom tendrils and most of it from his forehead.

the design of the head is to inspired abit of old ancient Egyptian sorta vibe and demonic feeling

This is a piece I was commissioned to make recently.

His name is Ealthan, he's a character in a homebrew campaign. He was a human priest, devoted to an acient dragon deity. When that deity was in danger he was called upon to be transformed into a dragonborn warlock to defend her, gaining the ability to cast spells and unmatched combat prowess. He and the rest of the dragonborn warlocks managed to defend their deity and set off to guard the various temples devoted to that deity throughout the land. Ealthan was unexpectedly contacted by one of the people that wanted to destroy his dragon deity, making him suspect that she might have hidden motives. He’s now traveling to investigate more about this.

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

For me I typically start with a simple core concept and build outwards from there. So I might have, say, a farm girl who discovered a rabbit when she was little. Her love for rabbits lead to her developing bonds with other animals. She tried to learn magic but wasn't really good with it, but was good with a bow. As her bond with animals deepened she came to love them more and more and grow closer and closer to them. She finally left home to see all the animals in the world and see how many she could become friends with. She likes simple things like humble clothes, simple meals, a gentle campfire, and such and doesn't care too much for overly wealthy things as she was dirt poor her entire life and has no clue how to handle them; making her uncouthe and having poor manners (she eats with her hands). She likes playing the flute but can't figure out why and it annoys her to no end. Her favorite thing in the world, aside from animals, is freshly fallen snow because it reminds her of snowball fights with her siblings when she was little. Her most embaressing moment was the one time her father took her to the big city and she ended up offending a cook by suggesting he cook his food a different way and he promptly decked her out, leaving her knocked out in the middle of the street.

Made all of that up just now following that philosophy. I won't profess it to be right by any means, but I am curious as to how you all make your own characters RP-wise.
