So I was playing with this group, (all guys, idk their races) and the dm pulled me aside a couple days ago to tell me my accent was making the other players uncomfortable. For context, I’m black and creole (from Louisiana), and I use AAVE rather liberally, but can code switch and I typically do depending on my comfort level. Normally I DO code switch around these guys bc I don’t really know them.

The thing is, I made a black, voodoo based character and I really wanted to lean into my own culture for inspiration, I didn’t make some hip hop caricature, he was just very clearly black and kind of a self insert. It’s the first time I’ve ever done something like this, so I was kinda excited.

Two sessions down and the dm pulled me aside to say the way I was talking was breaking immersion for everyone and making them uncomfortable bc it felt like I was mocking black people, so they asked if I could “just speak normally”.

I told him “this is actually way more normal for me. The accent you experience is whitewashed bc I don’t really know you, but the way I speak in game is truer to my actual accent” to which he responded,

“Look, I don’t really care. At this rate, I’m kinda doubting you even are black because black people just don’t really talk like that outside of movies and things. And I’d know, I’ve had plenty of black friends in my life, Ebonics is real, but not the way you’re doing it. You need to drop the voice or find a different table.” I swear to god, verbatim.

I was definitely in shock but ultimately, after sending a pic of a certain black finger, decided to just dip out. It was pretty clear that table wasn’t a match for me.

It was pretty shitty but ultimately, I’m just glad I left sooner rather than later.

Sample sentences of the “fake” AAVE

*to a scamming merchant* ”I’ma be real with you, that just might be the dumbest shit I ever heard.”

*to a player* “You really gon try that? Aight well I’m finna stand back here, you can do what you gotta do.”

*to player during combat, my turn* “Boy if you don’t take the n*gga head off!”

**EDIT: I’d just like to note, my usage of the n word was NEVER discussed at any point, even during the conversation when the DM asked me to drop the accent**

*EDIT 2: I really REALLY appreciate all the (very unexpected) support on this. I see all of you and genuinely, I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m turning off notifs for now because it’s definitely overwhelming, but like, thank yall so much for all the love. 🩵🩵

I'm back with Merlin! He's gotten further in the campaign and we finally revealed his backstory as the grandson of Telamont Tanthul. His mother is a Mage from Cormyr and his father is a prince of Shade.

He's a level 11 Shadow monk/Fighter ( to be battlemaster fighter too ! ) Human ( Shadovar ) - A redeemed villain on the party! He's an odd fellow but he means well. The party has a very fun and interesting bond with him ^_^ Erm - Imagine Zuko meets Annie AOT meets Raven from Teen titans - And they form the most uncharismatic (but pretty) guy..

If anyone's wondering - His stats are 20 DEX / 20 WIS / 18 CON / 10 STR / 8 INT / 6 CHA. He is INCREDIBLY awkward! : ]

The little raven is what he can polymorph into

Feel free to make assumptions/ect about him! He's my favorite PC thus far.

Drew this for my friend's birthday. Its one of their big characters in their world!

Selene never imagined herself upon her nation's throne, and yet the crown on her head and fire from her hands meant that she was the last of the royal Val San bloodline. She was determined to serve her nation well, but the power and responsibility was crushing and slowly chipped away at her sanity. A soothsayer once told the princess, "Sunspeaker, you will be worshipped. You will be praised. You will be adored. But know that you will not be loved."

Hi! I'm Nerunoda, and this is my first ever D&D character: a tiefling soul knife rogue who works as an assassin in the Nightingale Thief Guild. She has a bit of a tragic backstory; initially, she was the type of person who didn't trust anyone but herself, but as her character has developed, she has started to smile more than ever before.

She was recruited by the party after she tried to kill one of them at the request of an anonymous person, but failed. Instead of killing her, they tried to bribe her to join the party. At first she hesitated because she doesn't like liars, but she gradually softened her heart to join them as they tried to bribe her in silly way, its make Nephala laugh at the first time of her life ever.

Because she failed to complete the anonymous person's request, she is currently being hunted, and her birth village is about to be destroyed by the guild as a consequence. She cried and told another party member, who said that she is not alone and that they would help Nephala to protect her village.

Let me know what you think of her! :D

Monster Manual Expanded 5.5e will be unleashed next month, May 12, on the DMs Guild. Mark your calendars!

The 5.5e (2024) version of the 2019 Adamantine best-selling Monster Manual Expanded arrives May 12, featuring over 470 statblocks comprehensively revised to align with the latest Monster Manual format and modern design standards. This edition also includes brand-new cover art, improved descriptive texts, and select interior art upgrades to match its refreshed presentation.

Due to the scale of the overhaul, Monster Manual Expanded 5.5e will release as a separate product, with a special discount bundle available for existing 2019 owners. It will launch in PDF first, with Roll20, FG, and Print-on-Demand versions following a few months later.

Soledad is an Aasimar Celestial Warlock, who originally bore a golden mask and veil that covered his ruined face. Upon performing deeds for his angelic patron and building his power alongside his party, his patron rewarded him with a reconstruction of his face and body, in a style similar to kinsugi, along with angelic wings filled with eyes (biblical accuracy is excellent). I had a great time with this one!

I’m running a Crooked Moon campaign by Legends of Avantris for my in-person game and I fell in love with the setting and story, got inspired, and made this! Hand-painted and decoupaged, I made this on a Dollar Tree bamboo cutting board and I am thinking about turning it into a clock maybe. I won’t give it all away, but these guys are known as The Fallen, and they will mess your DnD party up! Let me know what you think!

Hi all - I’m just getting back into D&D (last played in ’84) and I need to bring my stuff to games. Since I need to bring dice and a dice tray and pencils and sheets and books and whatever: I grabbed a 9x12 box from the craft store. Then I added foam to the inside so it could double as a dice tray during the game (I’d put the character sheet in the bottom of the tray & store the rest of my books below the box).

I think this will work well, in that the dice tray will take up no extra space. But I’ve not seen anyone else doing this, so I’m guessing there’s something that I’ve overlooked because I’m a n00b. Anyone spot an issue with this?

Note that updating the sheet works ok / having this at the bottom of the tray doesn’t seem to be annoying 🤷‍♀️

Born cursed with filthy devils' blood, tieflings are meant for a life of sin. Few have the mercy to offer compassion, and fewer still, a chance at redemption. Redemption for how they've been born. Few have the mercy of the Golden Order.

The mercy to strip oneself of all the devils' taint, and to aim one's heart to a deed most pure - redemption through a life of servitude and suffering. Only that can make up for the sulphur running through blackened veins.

In the Dead Lands, the cursed land of the continent of Azshadra, fights the organization known as the Golden Order - a gathering of all faithful, wishing to purge evil from the land, and to lift the curse of the Dead Lands once and for all, by striking down the Necromancer King Mithridates at the core of the land, within his dark fortress.

The Golden Order offers purpose to those without any, and a path to those who would dare think they know their own. Within the ranks of those who follow Asahi, the Sun God and Al-Ator, the God of Light, lie those monstrous and thus deemed forever irredeemable - except through their own suffering. Devil-born, with sheared horns and torn skin, vampires, whose very flesh burns with the use of light, monsters, there to beg salvation of those who have deemed them such.

Once, the cursed were merely routed and sent to die for their sins in a fruitless battle, with their only purpose being the meat to protect the faithful from claw and blade, but as of recent times, the Order has discovered a far mightier weapon - hope. Hope that with enough blood shed, with enough scars made, one day the tieflings will be free. The blood-cursed will once again walk in the light. The beasts will be left to roam free. Or, if not them... Then surely, one day, their children?

Small piece from my worldbuilding about my homebrew world. I got attached to one of my players' NPCs and thinking about him let me elaborate a bit on a specific bit of lore. I kept reading in the player's handbook that tiefling are often mistrusted, and as much as I love the average tiefling being more of an aesthetic and nice choice, I had to think of the connotations of being one - especially in a world that has faced off against fiends far more than once. Of being a creature that, through no choice of its own, is born with fire in their veins.

I also listened to too much Ghost - Rats and then discovered Rammstein - Zeig dich. Big recommendations.

Cheers to everyone and happy worldbuilding!
