Dear Reddit, this is a serious post. One of my old friends who was a player in our d&d group passed away in a car crash today along with another friend. I need some advice on how to properly let her characters have a meaningful good bye...I've never dealt with death at the table before....I'm at a loss for words since I found out this morning

Edit: I appreciate all the support and kind messages from everyone on this subreddit....I lost another friend in the same car crash, but our group is going to focus on healing first before we jump back into those games

This is a commission I did for SentientBedsheets I really enjoyed drawing their character she’s beautiful 🩷

This is the description provided by my client of their OC

Her name is Malice Do’Vier. She’s a drow hexblade warlock. She is a banished former priestess of Lolth and due to a mistake she made she is being forced by Lolth to adventure with people she wouldn’t otherwise be with. It was this, or become a drider. (She’s Lawful Evil, but has to behave and cooperate as a condition of her eventual release from banishment as an ironic punishment.)

The sentient sword is her patron, taken from a dragon’s skull.

Designed a new (expensive) adventuring outfit for Narcelia as this will probs be my last year-ish playing her as campaign is in its final season. Finally embodying the deep reds in her design, even though she’s very purple encoded! Will be playing her tomorrow and will be the first PROPER session where the party is whole again in the middle of war and have to strategize.

Art made by me! ( https://bsky.app/profile/aniakka.bsky.social/post/3mhyvlq2ctk2d )

This is Master Zhen, He lives in the citadel. He used to be a soldier in the army and became a travelling mercenary after the king's campaign ended. He's 5'9 and 271lbs and has a Huge sword he also uses as a cleaver sometimes. He has abnormally high muscle strength.

His father was a family yatai business owner and he'd seen that as a future for himself but he got drafted before he could pursue it.

Now that he's not a mercenary or a soldier anymore he set up his own Yatai in the citadel serving food unheard of in the city or even the country sometimes from all the recipes he's learnt during his time as a travelling mercenary.

And he soon attracted a lot of customers owing to his natural talent as a chef but longing to be original and create a recipe to leave as his legacy once he's gone he usually experiments a lot, most of which end up in disaster.

Once he fed such a recipe to a high ranking minister who'd stopped with an entourage and gave them all food poisoning for days after which the minister banned him from running a food business so now he just sets up his cart (yatai) anywhere he wants and packs up and leaves (sometimes even as his customers are eating) when the city guards find him.

He's pretty boisterous, laughs loudly and often clashes with city guards, dine and dashers, sometimes thieves etc. He usually dispatches of them pretty easily being careful enough not to hurt them too much.

His favourite catch phrase is "What's the matter? Can't handle a bit of heat?" As he's fighting these people.

He carries a bottle and pouch. The bottle carries a hot sauce that he used to pump his adrenaline up. It has very potent scorpion venom in it, a single drop can kill normal humans but to him it just feels super spicy (his own recipe, he loves spicy food)

Illustration I have made for a challenge. I created it during a period when I was reading a lot of D&D, notably the legend of Drizzt by R.A Salvatore! In he's books we encounter many strong female characters, particularly in the field of magic, This is one of my favorite topics, strong and powerful women. She is a powerful enchantress, searching for magical novelties; she seems to be studying biology, living things. Perhaps she'll have some quests for you?

I'm currently drafting a character who's a con artist and impulsive liar - think Maeby from arrested development, always working an angle and letting consequences pile up. Basically during one of their cons they made up an entity to intimidate someone else, except it turned out that entity was very real and very annoyed. As a warlock with Mask of Many Faces and Misty Visions I'd be making regular use of shape shifting and illusions to supplement my lies and bullshitting.

However I'm worried that this would be annoying for both my DM and other players, and it could easily come off as attention seeking "chaos gremlin" behavior. It's not like I'll derail everything to lie for the sake of it but compulsive lying is still core to who this character is. I don't want to give off that impression. What have been your experiences with players like this? Is it usually just annoying or is it possible to make it work?

At the end of the day I'll obviously just check it over with my DM and fellow players... I have enough ideas in my head to pivot as needed. I just want to hear other people's thoughts first.

edit - thank you for all the feedback. like I said I'll definitely make sure my table is okay with it above all else. the last thing I want is to be something they need to work around. I wouldn't want them to see my character as another obstacle or someone who's just there to make more problems for them, or someone they can't trust. Lying and conning will be a tool to support the party goals and largely I'll let it remain as backstory.

This is something that as a player i always wondered. When using a battle map either on paper or something like Roll20, does it make sense to let your players (during a battle) go "hmmm i'll aim my fireball right here... No wait a millimeter to the left so i can hit all 3 enemies and dodge my ally by a hair"?

Under a roleplaying point of view it doesn't really make much sense but under a game mechanic point of view what else can you do? Only being able to target enemies directly seems a little harsh.

A Stationery Fairy (one of several!)

Character: Nottie the Notebook Fairy

Patient, diligent, and industrious, Nottie the Notebook Fairy loves collecting, sorting, and occasionally sharing notebooks. A focused fey, Nottie keeps track of what other stationery fairies do in separate notebooks for each of them, including her own diary.

Notably, Nottie maintains a notebook in which she lists all of her notebooks, what they contain, and how many blank pages they have.

What do you think? :)

What I didn’t expect was how hard the journey would be.

We went in pretty unprepared. We had to learn everything from scratch. Writing is one thing, but publishing, production, layout, working with artists, printing, logistics… it’s basically a whole set of professions on their own. There were a lot of late nights, a lot of “why isn’t this working,” and a lot of figuring things out the hard way.

At the same time, there were these small moments that kept us going. Every time an illustrator sent over a new piece, it felt like opening a present. Seeing the world slowly come to life piece by piece was incredible.

We also spent years trying to weave everything together across chapters and books. Making it feel connected, but not repetitive. That part was probably one of the hardest, but also one of the most rewarding.

Now we’re working on the fourth book, and somehow that same excitement is still there. Sitting down, throwing around ideas, and turning them into something real never really gets old.

I guess the reason I’m posting this is just to say: if you’ve been thinking about creating something, do it.

Write, draw, build your world, whatever it is.

There’s something special about bringing something into existence that wasn’t there before.
