I thought Liches would try to ‘customize’ their bodies more (eg removal or adding of more limbs) but what about the head? Like they are already undead, or do they just need to keep the head somewhere separate but intact? Or do they only need a phylactery and the rest of their physical form can just be anything?

This is a Lich with vile magic coursing through ‘their’ physical form, with added limbs. I’d imagine they are trying to give of the appearance of a noble deity, to fool people into entering contracts with them under the guise of becoming paladins and clerics. Imagine a whole mock religion forming from a lich

Im back with more Paper minis! I thought it would be a good start to 2026 to open up with some cats!.

Every cozy Inn need some cats. The Emperor's Crown is no exception ^^

When i designed the cats i wanted each of them to be unique not just in color but also in mood and pose! They are straight forward to make but small enough to fit on a normal grid.

11 of them are up for grabs over on patreon.com/benoitrc

Enjoy! The Tales of Amudedo is growing every month, The Inn tilesare out this month, next month NPC minis and incoming some Kobold and Tower for some climbing action?

Thanks for all the love for the project its been great!

Just wanted to rant to people who understand.

I was DMing for the first time with my partner (P), his brother (B) and another friend (F) (we’re all 25-29 years old). It was being hosted at B’s house and I invited B’s fiancé (M) to join a few weeks before the session but she politely declined said she wouldn’t understand and it wasn’t her thing. That’s completely fair! So she decided she’d be staying with her sister that night.

Come the day of the first session, she’s still home when we decide to start playing. We got into it, I was narrating and all that for the first time. Everyone else was figuring out their characters and how to play for the first time. Did our first combat, some roleplaying etc. we were obviously really enjoying ourselves (the whole session was so much fun).

And then after like 30 minutes I heard her laugh and scoff and then said “okay that’s it I’m leaving, I’ll leave you guys to play your lame children’s game”

Mind you she had just spent the last half an hour building a Lego Harry Potter set. And her house is full of Disney and Harry Potter merch.

I personally don’t think loving legos and Disney etc. is childish because people love what they love!! Let them be, why make fun?? But I understand that’s the “societal consensus” so it just bothered me so much that she had the nerve to call d&d a children’s game??

Urgh I know it’s not a big deal, but just wanted to rant, getting into d&d for the the first time has been so much fun and I don’t want to feel embarrassed about doing something I’m enjoying. And it’s just so frustrating when people make fun of others for doing something they love and are enjoying themselves.

Thanks for listening 🫶🏼

Edit: btw I’m a woman! So it also sucked to be belittled by another woman I think

My DM is amazing

Long story short I hadn't played for years before this summer. I don't enjoy playing online and my DnD friends either moved or don't have time in their schedule. So I went online to find a group, well aware that the chances of meeting real A-holes was much higher than a good campaign.

It went better than I could have possibly imagined.

Our DM designed a campaign around a world where basically everything is fast food adjacent. The current issue is that Macdonia is at war with the Flame Broiled republic, and myself (a oragano Shaker - kobolt paladin), a fry man rogue, a mcflurry cleric, and a lettuce leaf wizard are currently on a mission to receive blessings from the gods (mine is the bumble bee tuna mascot) so we can stop the fighting.

As creative as that is, the DM makes it so much better. He has a map of the entire world covering the table (Fresh Fried Fiefdom for life!). He's got (admittedly generated) scenes of us arriving at various locations, and pictures of the main NPCs. When we first were introduced to a god, he hit a button behind his DM screen to lower the lights and turn them a light blue, while the calm background music he plays during the session changed to trippy almost hypnotic stuff. What's most impressive to me is he has made totally modular cities made out of cardboard. As in he can move and rearrange buildings, making Macdonia have multiple story buildings and packed close streets, while a small town has tiny homes and horse stables - just totally immersive.

So I just wanted to tell the world, not just him (because I tell him often how fucking cool it all is) that my DM is straight up amazing. He deserves all the props.

Obviously some kind of possumfolk, but mechanically she's a Mapach as she was raised by adoptive mapach parents. Her name is Poppy Gearloom though she mostly goes by "Patches". As an unorthodox artificer, she weaves her magic and spells with thread & needle, and enchants embroidered patches she wears and rips them out when need be.
Quite anti-system and distrustful of power figures and birdfolk council.
What do you think?

Ive been DMing a 5-player table full of newbies for about 20 sessions now, and everythings been pretty great. But I have one player (who Ill call Sam) who always runs off and does stuff I cant wrap my head around. Sam is consistently going off by himself in and out of combat and getting absolutely wrecked by enemies. Im talking death saves in 7 of the 8 combats weve had. And the other players arent struggling, theres been a few downed here and there but theyre always going off of each others strengths in combat.

Sams character is an Aasimar Shadow Arts Monk, so he has a lot of close combat potential and some fun utility. Sam has never used any of his utility in combat, and has only used Ki points by begging me to restore his HP after hes downed/near death.

Ive tried placing Sams character further from enemies to have him use his darts or target just one enemy near the party, only for him to run/fly up to enemies no one else in the party is fighting and then get mad/surprised when hes downed over and over again. Sam has even gone up to the current BBEG at a bar (by himself after he left the party to go to said bar,) and challenged him to a 1v1, only for Sams character to conveniently "get away" after the BBEG "took it easy on him."

I can only say "are you sure?" and "would you like to do something else?" so many times. Its really getting to me cause I dont want to kill my players characters in absolutely meaningless combats, especially when theres no Cleric, but I dont feel like anything I do is being taken seriously by Sam. I cant keep fudging rolls and making up reasoning for Sams character to live. Ive even had an NPC from a different players backstory temporarily join the party to help with healing, AKA tailing Sams character in combat like Mercy. Hes been brought back from death twice already by his temple goddess "taking pity on him."

Its a political intrigue campaign, but Sam keeps derailing countless interactions cause other players have to drop everything in combat and try to heal him. Combats quickly go from "defeat four basic guards" to "try and keep Sams character alive while hes 90 feet away from everyone else." What am I supposed to do? Do I just kill his character off? Im genuinely lost.

People seemed to like Athalia so thought I may share Thora here aswell 🩷

Thora is short tempered, emotional, and often difficult to deal with. She’s sensitive, gets angry easily, and doesn’t hide her frustration well. Growing up, she was constantly compared to others which left her resentful and competitive, even when she doesn’t admit it. She’s not polished or likable but she’s stubborn, capable and refuses to stay in anyone’s shadow.

Just a funny thing that happened last session and thought I would share, my players were camping out in the desert when a snake bit one of them on the ankle. I never once told them the snake was dangerous, and none of them got a good look at it. They all assumed the worst, and the victim requested for the rogue to cut off his foot 😭 they held him down and the process took quite awhile, he almost died during the process. Afterward, I told them that the snake was harmless and they all just went quiet before the player who was now missing a foot said “so I just let them cripple me for no reason?”

Anyways that’s my funny story

Edit: just because you DM differently or have different table vibes does not mean I was being a bad DM or cruel by allowing them to do this. My job as a DM is not to tell the how to play. I allow them to make their own choices. We play DnD for FUN, to have a laugh sometimes. In the end, it’s a game where we play pretend and use our imagination. Cutting his foot off in game isn’t going to affect him in real life, because it’s just a game. My party found this just as funny as I did.

If you don’t find it funny, or would have done something different, don’t bother to comment. I posted this because it was funny. If you disagree, totally up to you, but I don’t want to hear about how it was bad DMing on my part for allowing them to make their own damn choice.

Meet Morwen! She is a Hexblade/Paladin Reborn human.

For a while, I had an idea for a character who thinks they are a holy warrior but actually serves something very unholy. So I came up with a patron inspired by the Welsh folktale of Mari Lwyd, basically a skull puppeted by unseen horrors under a cloth that goes around challenging others to singing competitions, and if they lose, they have to give something up.

My character was that “something” for a poor family who had too many mouths to feed. Growing up in a community (or cult, depending on who you ask) of people who shared the same fate, she views her patron as a savior, especially when the entity brings her back from death as a Reborn to do its bidding. Now that her prayers replace her need for food and sleep, she fights with blind devotion (or fear that her resurrection will be reversed if she disobeys).

Anyway, hope you like the drawing! I love playing weird and creepy characters, so if anyone has ideas, I’m always looking for inspiration for my next character.

Drew this about a month ago but thought I’d share this here aswell 🩷

Athalia is a well known ranger and natural leader in her region, trusted by her people and respected by nearly everyone who knows her. She knows the land better than anyone and has strong survival instincts. As a child, she survived a war that took her family and escaped through the forest, saving another child named Thora along the way. The things she went through taught her to stay alert act quickly and take responsibility when others hesitate
