My friend has hosted our bi-weekly D&D game with friends at his house for a few years now. I get to DM and we have a fantastic group of five players. Last year he told us he was going to build us a new table... today I came in to set up for the game and was blown away. It has 5 dedicated player positions, two "guest player" positions on the corners, and the DM section is big enough for four Wyrmwood DM screen panels + my laptop in the center. 55" TV in the center is on a hydraulic vault that also supports two different 52 X 37" terrain boards (shown removed as we are starting with the TV today but will be switching to a Dwarven Forge dungeon later). Every spot is pre-wired with chargers for phones, tablets, and even a power supply for my laptop. The picture does not really do it justice as this table is BIG, and very solid (had to be assembled in the room). The top of the table is Baltic Birch and it even has Wenge trim o_O

I will happily DM from a folding card table but needless to say this is amazing!

... he's still not going to get to level up today though :-)

True story from my campaign. The party was clearing out a goblin camp when one of them, a small goblin I had named Kwexx as a throwaway NPC, dropped to 2 HP and threw down his weapon screaming for mercy. I expected the players to finish him off or just move on after getting some basic info.

Instead they decided to capture him for interrogation. Then they fed him. Then they untied him "just for a minute". Then they started teaching him common. By the end of the session he was their official mascot.

Three sessions later one of my players had to drop out for personal reasons, and a new player joined the table. They asked if there was any character they could play that already had connections to the group. My party answered before I could: "You can play Kwexx."

So now Kwexx the goblin who surrendered with 2 HP is a full party member with his own character sheet, his own backstory I had to scramble to invent, and the unofficial heart of the group. As a DM I just sat there watching my players write the campaign without me.

What's your "I never planned this but the players made it canon" story? I need to know I'm not alone.

So idk if it was wrong of me. But I fumbled the dice to save a player. They were fighting the last boss of the quest. This big spider lady. And on my first 3 attacks and rolled 3 critical hits. The first 2 downed the player, and on the last one I did max damage with the strongest move. Which would have instantly killed them. This player just made a new character after the last one died And I didn’t have the heart to tell them that I kill the second one without them even having a chance to save themselves. So I just told them it was 10 damage short of killing them. Then they had this amazing sequence were they were trying to escape the boss and save themselves player. And they barely made it. And they told me it was an awesome session. Now they are pumped to go back and finish the job. But I still have this gilt about cheating. What do you guys think.

So a little context. I’m a newer Dm still. Been playing for 4 years and is currently DMing my first campaign (that hasn’t fallen apart to scheduling lol). Everyone at my table I’ve played with before and we’re all friends. I stepped up when our older DM wanted to be a player again. Everything has been going great until we had combat . One of my players who’s been playing for 4 years STILL doesn’t know how to play the game. She mainly came for the roleplay but can’t remember which one of the dice is a d20. I noticed this during our last campaign but it wasn’t so bad . Now it is. She is playing a Cavalier fighter but tries to use the mount like how a ranger uses their beast then gets upset when she can’t use it in that way. Doesn’t know how action surge works noir what dice to roll for her weapon damage. At first I was giving her the benefit of the doubt but we have been playing for 8 sessions now and she still has no idea what she’s doing. I’ve sent her videos, made her flash cards, and explained in person how to do everything but she still doesn’t understand. Now we’re approaching a big fight and I’ve had one of my other players tell that they’re scared that she might get the whole party killed. At this point I’m thinking about sitting her down and telling her if she doesn’t get it together then she can’t come. Is that too much? If so does anyone have recommendations on how I could handle this?

I ask because the one arm thing is indeed kinda core to his backstory and characterization. Aside from Laevus literally meaning left, the crux of his shaping as a person and current primary motivation is that he cut off his arm in a flesh sacrifice to save his sister from Hell. I'd like to strike a balance between "he's definitely hindered by this" and "he's completely helpless"

Obviously having one arm is never going to go completely unnoticed, but he cut the thing off when he was 16 and he's 33 now, so it seems natural that he's learned to manage it well at this point.

In my life, there had only ever been two options: Work endlessly, or feel the pain of the scourge. As long as my body held up, I had no worries. I had made peace with it long ago.

A single bad day proved me foolish. I didn't see it coming. I was covered, wrapped and veiled from the beating rain. A rock to the back of the head, taken out like some mutt. I saw him through my own blood, binding my hair to my face. In my final moments I was filled with rage and regret. I cursed his existence, and cursed my own much the same.

I was alone with my grudge, until she came. She promised me vengeance, if only I pledged myself to her. I had two options: Be aimless, or have my revenge.

Was it even a choice?

Hello there, adventurers ! This is creature was commissioned , as you can see from the tag, and because of it, I have no backstory. I will try to summon the owner , maybe some story will appear here, maybe not. All I know- this is the main enemy for the players in some campaign. But, I can be mistaken. As for eyedrakes. Well, mhm, I know not much. Beholder drake mix, I assume. Or just a dream of other beholder. Anyways- as for the drawings, feel free to say some word if you have something to tell. Critics , sometimes ,helpful. Sometimes not XD

Next one will be fairy fighter, but I have to wait for a week before post her according to this sub rules. So see you next week. I will try not to forget to make a post.

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

I have always been interested in all the different builds and characters that people can make in this game. I love exploring each classes identity mechanically. My favorite class is the wizard. I love the damage and utility and I don’t mind the trade off of low health and AC. It makes me feel like I’m constantly thinking about how to use my spells to my advantage in and out of combat, which always keeps me interested in the game and what’s going on. So what’s everyone else’s favorite class and why? I’d love to hear about an old character from your favorite class too!
