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.

Hello there adventures, here is not her one sketchy character commission I drew few days ago. And as it is a comm, as you can see from the tag, I have no backstory for this character. But, the title say itself some information about this one. I don’t think there is any reason for me to tell you about genasi of different kind, pretty sure you will find a lot of information in net or in official books about them, and sure some homebrew things as well. I do not have a lot of experience in p,aging genasi tho, if some of you ever tried them , how is it compared to , idk, elves , halflings?

As for the drawing itself, as always your critics are welcomed, feel free to put some words if you have something to tell.

This is all what I wanted to print here, stay safe and have a good day!

ngl i've been thinking about this and i think we lowkey have it backwards... a freshly made dracolich might actually be weaker than the dragon it was before

like the transition has to be traumatic right? new body, different magic, learning to exist without biological instinct driving everything

but centuries in? that thing wouldn't sleep, wouldn't hunger, wouldn't stop... just infinite time to master necromancy and build armies while civilizations rise and fall around it

the fresh one is a monster. the ancient one is basically a slow moving apocalypse that nobody noticed until it was too late

so which one scares you more honestly -- the dracolich that attacks on day one, or the one that's been quietly preparing for 400 years?

For the next blind character I play. 3D printed using a 0.4mm nozzle and normal plastic filliment. I designed it in tinkercad because thats the only 3D modeling program i know how to use. Ik they don't roll well and are a bit of a gag but I think they are fun. Now the only issue is I don't know any braille. I chose the pink for a bit of fun and also becuse it was the only filliment I have left. The lore of the dice is the creator thought it would be funny gag and needed to learn how to 3D print.

I mostly dm and such but sometimes i want to find a game but dang sometimes it really does feel like getting a job.
putting in applications, doing vc interviews and the cherry on top getting ghosted by dms. I get that they have a lot of people to go through but dang it really feels like getting a job and going through that nightmare

Sitting here thinking I'm being ghosted by the dm's i reached out to about joining their groups because I'm a girl and apparently nobody wants to play dnd with girls? Like is it just me or is this a thing?

For some context, the first time I played was like 8 years ago and my ex husband and his friends were playing, and one of them invited me to join so l did.

Well I guess the dm didn't actually want me there (even tho they were in my fucking living room) so he squished my character with a boulder after I rolled one bad roll and nobody healed me, including my husband at the time... so that ended my first dnd game in like 20 minutes.

I’ve since played one oneshot campaign with a friend when he was in town a few weeks ago, and I loved it, so I’m kinda bummed that I haven’t found a group who will take me in.

And like obviously if you just want to play with your own separate group and you don't want to invite me, then don't invite me in, but I wish these guys would at least have the courtesy to tell me that so I can stop hoping l'll ever get invited.

I just feel like the whole situation with my ex’s group is happening again and nobody wants to actually play with me because a girl and I'm newer at it and don't really know what I'm doing yet.

Hi, I'm new to dnd and recently had my friend helped me set up a character but I feel like I'm not doing enough dmg wise. The DM said I'm allowed to multiclass and change a couple spells now since I'm new and I was rushed to make my character.

Its a Artificer armorer, proficient in light and medium armor aswell as shields.

Ac:15 Hp:13

Stats: +1 str +2 dex +2 con +3 Int +0 wis and -1 int.

Cantrips: Firebolt & Shocking grasp

Spels: Absorb element, cure wound and catapult

I've never used absorb element or catapult so they said I can change thoes two.

If you need any other info pls let me know, sry I'm also new to posting on reddit. Thank you for your time!

(Sry for formatting I'm on mobile)

very simple question, but a very common problem. You and your party enter a dungeon and you get to the entrance. you're in a foyer like area with 3 or 4 doors inside. the following happens:

-the party spends time discussing which door they should start with

-the party then decides who of the group should be checking for traps

-They check for traps

-they rolled too low so someone chimes in "I help them!" or "I cast guidance"

-there are no traps

-they decide who among the group should listen to see whats on the other side.

-that person tries to listen.

-they roll well

-someone else chimes in "I help them!" because you can never be too careful.

-they still hear nothing.

-they then spend time discussing if they still want to go in the door even though there are no traps or they heard nothing, there might be something else going on they didn't expect.

-they open the door.

Depending on how streamlined (or not) your party is, this can take a lengthy amount of time, and then you have to consider the fact that you need to multiply this time by however many doors are in the dungeon. is there any way to help this process move along more quickly?

I have a few thoughts on just making rooms more open concept and featuring less doors in general. maybe certain rooms don't have a door but an archway of some sort. things like that. I'm just curious what other DMs do and how I can implement ideas in my own campaign.

TL;DR: How do you prevent your party from spending too much time trying to decide which doors are safe and should be entered? Do you have a way to streamline exploration of dungeons for your party?

I’m currently working on a y2k themed campaign and all my players are making their characters 90’s coded. We are not 90’s kids at all but I want to really make the world feel like NYC in 1999 does anyone have fun references that could be turned into dnd esque stuff or items that are references to the 90’s?

Daughter of the ArchDevil Zedek, Myrshyrth is one of the oldest succubus and one of the most respected ones. Cunning,smart,resourceful yet loyal,passionate and with a strong conviction in her ideals, Myrshyrth has always been devoted to serve the lord of Hell Khonas. Along with her charisma and cunning,she developed great swordmanship and leadership skills. Along with some of her other sisters,she became one of the founding members of the Vanguard of Khonas. A special "division" of infernal forces,focused on dealing with internal problems and threats. The Vanguard was composed mainly by succubus that pledged a special oath to hell and his monarch.

In exchange for chastity and the avoidance of romantic relationships of any kind,they gained special abilities to better serve Khonas. Abilites like Mind reading (with the ability to read into people's memories) more powerful charming powers and augmented general combat prowess made the members of Khonas' Vanguard extremely fearsome opponents. When Hell got invaded by general Martorius and his army,sent by the rebel god Athay, the member of the Vanguard fought the most valiantly. However,their combat prowess wasn't enough to win the fight for hell. When it was clear that the war was lost,Myrshyrth guided the remnants of the Vanguard out of hell to take refuge in their enemies own world.Some decided to just hide without fighting anymore,too shocked by the events to take up arms again. Not Myrshyrth tho,the invasion was aided by Lilith and others devils for their own personal gain. They had sold their allegiance for personal gain,they deserved no mercy. Myrshyrth would not rest until injustice undone and everyone that had a part in the fall of Khonas and Hell punished.
There,they started to rebuild in the shadows. The fighters between them posed as mercenaries and soldiers,others as politicians,others took strategic roles in the societies they hided in. Gathering resources and strength to bring back Khonas and retake Hell.(Post Campaign)After more than a thousand years,Khonas retook Hell. The brute Martorius and the traitor Lilith are finally dead. Khonas has great projects for hell and it's rebuilding. However,Myrshyrth has not found peace as she tought she would.

I had so much fun working on this commission, hope you all enjoy it!
