You pry open the heavy earthen door that has been keeping you from the tomb's inner-most sanctum. You are buffeted by a thick cloud of dust that is almost as bad as the stench of fresh corpses that rushes out to greet you. Wait, why would the corpses be fresh? Supposedly none have entered the tomb of the praetors in generations. A shadow moves, defend yourself!

Greetings adventurers! We are excited to announce that the /r/DnD mod team is looking to expand. Moderating a community as robust and complex as ours takes a lot of work, and requires a diversity of thought in its management. Do you think you're up to the task?

We are looking to fill several key gaps in our mod team. We are interested in users who can help with the regex that governs automod, users who can moderate outside of US time zones, users with experience identifying AI content, and users who can advocate for communities that are under-represented on /r/DnD. That being said, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES are encouraged to apply! We need mods who are willing to just do the monotonous busy work of moderating, which is most of the work.

Do you think you would be a good fit for our mod team? Apply today! If you have any questions please let us know in the comments.

2026 /r/DnD Mod Recruitment Form

The application will stay open for at least 1 week, though we may keep it open longer. After applications close we will work to review and reach out to those selected within a week, and then make a public announcement after onboarding.

With the final nothic slain, you are finally able to take in your surroundings. Piles of bodies, some of whom you recognize as the missing clergy, are in various states of decay. You doubt the bishop of Tyr is going to be willing to hand over that bonus now...

An elven noble reclines upon her throne, draped in silk and gold, watching the quiet intrigues of the court unfold. In the dim halls of her people, power is rarely claimed with steel alone. A glance, a whisper, a subtle command — these are the tools of those who rule from the shadows. Few dare challenge her authority, and fewer still leave the court unchanged. In her presence, even silence feels like a calculated move.

Dendra's mother was a grand weapons expert. Her father was a master smith.

Dendra grew up learning their crafts. But was pushed to become an armsmaster as a trade. They did not see a future for her in fighting.

She became an armsmaster, making beautiful and powerful weapons, her understanding of what a fighter looked for in a weapon, made her very sought after. One day an Errant came to her, looking to replace a broken armament. He needed a weapon powerful and pure enough to take on an elemental enchantment. He had come to the right place. Over their time together, Dendra learnt that this man, Setto, was acting as a guard for elementalist nomads for the time being and they had gifted him with this powerful elemental weapon enchantment for doing so. They had stopped in Myrhan to rest, resupply and hopefully have his weapon fixed.

She meets the nomads, she hears of the world. She hears of their abilities. She realizes that such power could aid her armsmaster pursuits. But they warn her that seeking this power with such base pursuits is not advised. The process of becoming an elementalist, she learns, is extremely dangerous. Few survive the trials.

Dendra reflected on her intentions for a time. But realized that she did not get so excited about this power because it would make her a better armsmaster, but because it was a way to see the world beyond the walls. It was a way to become more than what everyone was around her. It was a way to become her own person rather than a product of her parents.

She left home to join Setto and the nomads. During her time being a nomad, and preparing for the dance of the elements, she discovered a much wider world than she once knew. She began to believe there was more to life than being an instrument of conflict.

She looks to Ahkahet, the Avatar of Conflict. She is someone who doesn't call them the Avatar of war and peace.

Her idea of elementalism is that it is related to transmutation and creation. Being an armsmaster has led her to view her power in this way.

Vhaeraun has adapted their persona a bit to match a new social climate. While they are still worshipped and prayed to by rogues of all stripes, from the lowliest of cut purses on up, they have also managed to attract a new brand of brigand to their worship; ambitious social climbers using charm, wit, and diplomacy to part people from their treasures. Rather than relegating themselves to simply being skulking street thieves, and common cut purses, they have adopted a more visible social presence and more devious ways of parting their targets of their treasures. They will swindle people out of their coin through confidence games, or covertly rigging bets. These new worshippers are focusing more on style and maneuverability than stealth and surprise. This new brand of high collared criminals know Vhaeraun by such names as The Gentleman Theif, The Dashing Dastard, and the Dandy Knave. Followers of this aspect are more likely to take the Swashbuckler, Mastermind, and Arcane Trickster subclasses rather than ones like thief or assassin. If they are able to charm their way into the lap of luxury rather than being forced to steal, scrap, and scrape to get by, all the better, and they can maneuver themselves into much more profitable takes if they are patient and clever. Why risk the danger of armed robbery when you can charm yourself into the good graces of the nobility? Securing a future by subtly turning them against their friends and family, and maybe even weedling your way into their wills is a much more impressive and profitable bit of backstabbing than being a common back-alley burgler.

What do you think this of this new aspect of Vhaeraun, and what kind of character would you create as one of his newer worshippers?

I made this with ProCreate. I have always wanted to try and draw him in a chibi/ Toriyama style because I think it could be really cute! Per ForgottenRealms: “ Themberchaud, titled the Wyrmsmith of Gracklstugh, was an adult red dragon allied with the duergar of Gracklstugh in the Northdark of the Underdark in the 14th and 15th centuries DR, though he later relocated to the Hanging City of Dolblunde.His other titles were the Father of Flame, the Everburning, and the Foundry's Heart. As the Wyrmsmith, Themberchaud used his fire breath to heat the city's great forges and temper the famous steel blades manufactured by the gray dwarves of Gracklstugh. He went about the city on a regular basis. In turn, they paid him regularly, adding to his treasure hoard.”

The purple dragon first come to my attention by the video made from dungeondad, I liked the concept of a dragon that hoards people, but even more, it's plasma breath since it's a creature born from red and blue dragon. Not only the plasma breath is already lethal, but it also blinds it's enemies in dark places. If I remember correctly, the connection to people and it's hoard makes it a interesting villain, since it could have its own organization made of people that it connects to.

By now I'm trying to draw dragons and some day dedicate to that, but for that, I'm practicing to reach a good enough level.

Hi all, I was in the mood to design another cheeky Obojima fella, so this time I made a blue Dara sheep dragon shepherd. I decided to give the sheep dragon darker wool to resemble a stormy cloud. This Dara's weapon of choice is a large blunt blade (oxymoronic, I know) made from one solid bone (he won't say what creature it came from...) to which he added a bell to match his sheep dragon. Let me know what you think!

I thought it'd be cool for a dream druid's staff to be a dreamcatcher on a stick, though I think I'm not very original on that

I tried to make it colorful and kinda surreal, this is just an initial concept so I might change some details later, I think purple + blue + cyan makes for a dreamy-like palette

the cyan/green stuff are random feathers sprouting out of her clothes

I think it's a female half-elf? or just elf, I'm not sure yet. she always has a sleepy expression on her face and bed hair tied into a braid. I thought a cool name would be somnia (get it?? get it??)

I also wanted to draw a small bag and a lantern she carries around, but I've been drawing for like 5 hours and i'm tired, maybe later

i'm kinda inspired mostly by st trina from elden ring, it's one of my favorite characters and she also has a theme with dreams and sleep

(I tried drawing peacock feathers on her staff but they never came right, so I just copy pasted some random png while I learn to draw those)

but honestly I'd like to make dream druid armor that it's just pyjamas

I teach D&D to middle school students ages 11-13 (I’m an art teacher at an art school and convinced them to let me teach it as an elective this year).

We start off the curriculum learning about the history of the game. We had a great conversation about some of the problematic beginnings and tseparation of the art/artist. One of the things I mentioned was about Gary Gygax’s views on women playing D&D. The class is a diverse group of kids and there are a lot of girls. I was basically saying something along the lines of how perfect of an age they are to start learning about D&D, coming into it now and recognizing how it’s evolved to be what it is now. Well, the next day a student brought me this. They made it for me!
