Sorry, guys, gals, and tieflings. This one isn't a happy one.

I've been playing DnD for 10 years, and DMing our group's current campaign for 3 years now, this campaign being almost exclusively on discord due to distance. 2 years ago, one of our newest members joined the campaign through me telling her about DnD while we worked together. She became a beloved member of the party, being the punk purple half-orc fighter with blonde hair, who carried too many daggers and made bad dad jokes, who just loved getting into enemies's faces as she axed them questions (see what I mean? Dad jokes)

Today, I found out that she passed away last week in her sleep. She was in her 30s and it was alcohol related.

I would...like to hear your stories about how you carry on after having lost a player, and how you honored them in your campaigns.

Greetings!

I try to assemble my ideas into cheat sheets and checklists that are easy to use and help me remember things that I otherwise might forget. One of the sheets I recently made is a checklist for prepping your sessions. This one is made with D&D in mind, but can of course be used for many different TTRPGs!

Prepping sessions is something that a lot of people see as chores so I wanted to make something that makes it a bit more effective if you just want to get it done but still want to do a good job and be able to use it during play.

Feel free to comment on it and give me feedback. Perhaps I am missing something or you prep your sessions in a different way.

I also post my content on Pinterest and Instagram if you want to check it out!
I often try to alternate the written content with some easy and cheap DIY terrain for TTRPGs. You can find the links down below if anyone is interested.

How do you prep your sessions?

Made in collaboration with The Mad Cartographer - "The Ogre Hovel is a small stockyard within the village boundaries, which has been hurriedly repurposed to try and provide a living space for the friendly but clumsy young Ogre orphan who recently came into contact with the village, named Lunk. The guards have set up a wary watch post, but children from the village spend most of their time climbing up instead to watch the Ogre."

I loved drawing this young ogre, who's just trying to do his best with the help of local kids. I can imagine any number of fun ways to incorporate this art into your campaign, even if you just need a derpy-looking ogre.

Back when covid first hit, my agency gave up our offices, since we weren't gonna be using them. One downside of that was that I hosted all my D&D games at our meeting room.

So I found a small area that I could start "fixing up". Now 6 years later and this is where we gather to roll some dice, eat some pizza and pretend to be someone else. The effort we've put into building the whole hub and the setup has been amazing and I've had help from many friends who also play their games here.

A few years ago we had this custom table made for us. Yes it looks like a coffin (which suits our Curse of Strahd campaign). But also "yes, it is the most optimal shape for the room. Nobody blocks anyone when looking towards the DM seat.

And we decided against getting a tv mounted inside the table, since we play with printed minis and terrain, as that adds the third dimension to various tactics and situations.

The room is not done, but I think it never will be. And that is very much okay.

Her name is Gentle, and she took an oath of the Watcher. Right now her party is on a heist on an inter-dimensional train to find the true names of a couple demons... Though she may have fired an arrow at an Erinyes when they passed through hell. Though in her defense this wasn't the worse the party has done regarding this devil...

Not sure if I should use her chibi drawing or her bust as an icon. I'm leaning more towards the chibi!

This illustration depicts a halfling fighter that I created.
She was designed specifically for use as a pre-generated character at my table, meant to be placed directly onto a character sheet. For that reason, she has no name and no established backstory.

In tabletop RPGs, I believe characters ultimately belong to the table, not the artist. This is especially true for pre-generated characters, whose personalities and motivations can change dramatically depending on who plays them. Giving her a rigid backstory felt limiting, so I chose to leave her intentionally undefined.

To one group, she might be a quiet and disciplined warrior. To another, she could be an upbeat adventurer chasing glory. Her reasons for fighting—and what she chooses to protect—are meant to be discovered through play. I hope this illustration serves as a flexible foundation for many different interpretations and adventures.

I have discovered my newest favourite useless item, the Ring of invisibility. When the ring is worn(either on a finger or anything else), the ring turns invisible.

Absolutely Hilarious

But I’m curious

Please Give me your most creative and DM-infuriating uses for this item

I feel like this has some potential but I’m drawing a creative blank

After being send to infiltrate and destabilise an island currently occupied by invading Elven and Fae forces, in order for the faction they support to be able to take it back, the party quickly found themselves in more and more desperate situations.

From being split up and caught in a city with a magical field around it that destabilises all non-Fae magic, to causing a demon to appear and posses a party member and being aware that a high-fae Sorceress far above their power-level was currently playing with them, the party wasn't doing so hot.

Yet they persevered and decided to complete their task head on while the battle began around them. Fighting their way up a chain of floating islands and standing against the demigod Fae that would have undoubtedly destroyed any army that tried to retake the island otherwise.

In an epic confrontation against her and her minions, where the Faerie's own arrogance allowed for the party to destroy her barrier and allow for their faction to gain the upper hand, even as the fae's trap would almost certainly spell doom for all.

Yet in that moment, when even though they had fought as bravely as they could have and given their all, salvation would appear.

As Nyzra, Queen of the Pantheon of humanity and goddess of night would appear, sending forth a rain of stars to destroy the enemy and banishing the demigod far away.

One of the best if not the best moments in my DnD career as Dm and one that brought us all immense joy.
