Many newcomers to the game and to r/DnD can find answers there. Note that these links may not work on mobile apps, so you may need to briefly browse the subreddit directly through Reddit.com.

* **If you have multiple questions unrelated to each other, post multiple comments** so that the discussions are easier to follow, and so that you will get better answers.

Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

This is my OC Thaerion, he comes from a long line of conquerors and is currently first in line for the throne.

He's a Dark magic user and a highly proficient Swordsman often stated to be one of if not the best in the kingdom. He's not sentimental and dislikes sweet stuff except for some honey in his morning tea.

He doesn't like to hunt and thinks it is a sport for men who cannot face skilled warriors in battle.

He came to be known as a war criminal after using blood magic to resurrect slain soldiers on the battlefield while laying siege to a fort.

Although he isn't above using dark magic he typically won't cheat or use underhanded methods to win a battle and has some level of concern towards his soldiers as he wouldn't put them in unnecessary danger unless he can get something out of it. He also considers his own life of more importance to his soldiers so he would sacrifice them to save himself.

I really thought that the new Ravenloft book would be an opportunity for WotC to finally show that they’ve learned how to braise a good short rib, but when I read this book, it still doesn’t seem like they understand that a short rib really needs time to break down the collagen or it’s going to be tough. The short rib content seems like reheated leftovers from 5e and I’m afraid they just learned nothing about low-and-slow cookery.

what do you think?

tldr: the new Ravenloft book is tough and flavorless and I don’t think it was actually braised at all.

My take on Morgana Pendragon, Princess of Kamelot and the kingdom's great sorceress, corrupted by envy, doubt, and pride, tried to kill her half-brother.

But in the attempt, she lost her body, wath remained of her was her soul, a black smoke that swallowed everything. Her supporters continued to serve her, building a receptacle for her to house and satisfy her vanity, a beautiful porcelain doll, cold and perfect, just as she had always wanted to be.

Character design inspired by “interdimensional summit” by Dimmu Borghir.

Hope u like this design 😁

The Deadliest CR2 was the Intellect Devourer! Very scary creature that can just become your brain, killing you and taking over your body. Owlbear is looking to be the most iconic CR3, but there is still time left to vote!

Today's vote is Most Deadly CR 3 Monster!

If the monster is different between 5e and 5.5e, just use the more deadly version. Only votes on the top comment count so feel free to leave a comment, but vote!

For this art request I wasn’t given a whole lot to work from, which in some cases can be quite intimidating, but on the other hand can be really fun to have the freedom to play around with the look and features of a particular character. In this case, the player did have a few requests however, some of which were that the character’s skin, hair, and horns be blue, and that her staff embody a very natural quality and feature an emerald gem at the end. Based on the character’s description, I chose to go with dark clothing and some subtle hints of armor, as her personality came across as somewhat “anti-hero” to me. For this reason I also went with fingerless gloves, and did footwear to match, as well as to tie into the “one with nature” essence she exudes.

Hi there! I know this is probably a huge shot in the dark but im trying to find the artist who did this commission for me last year. I had a couple other pieces made by her as well but lost them due to losing the email I had used to communicate with her. Had them in a Google drive as well but lost access to that too. Its been rough year O.o

If anyone who knows the artist could point me to her page it would be greatly appreciated, thank you! 🙏

Spent some time generating a big batch of names across different aesthetics because I kept seeing people ask for name suggestions in various threads. Figured I'd just drop them all in one place.

No credit needed, use whatever you want. If you want to generate your own batches in any style, I made the tool that generated these: nym-nu.vercel.app

This isn't a bad thing in my eyes, I'm not askin for advice on how to stop them. It's just something I found funny and felt like sharing.

My group is chaotic, but they aren't murder hobos. They engage with the game, they respect the part I play in telling this tale and I respect the part they play. Something I do notice though is how quickly they are swayed to evil. If the villain has a compelling reason for doing what they do, not even putting them in the right just having a solid point, the party will at least consider changing teams right then and there. And gods forbid the villain is hot or even arguably female, then the land is doomed.

I like running evil campaigns and it's not something they do every single time so there's no drama here, but feel free to tell any stories in the replies of your experiences with the party switching sides. Whether you love or hate it, what you would do if the session was going that way, it's always such an interesting point in the campaign for me when everyone's allegiances come into question.

As a GM I love it when I get to sit back and watch my players roleplay with each other, and develop their relationships. But how do you as a GM introduce, or create space for the players to start creating those bonds, specially for newer players?

Crossing their backstories in unexpected ways is great, but sometimes their stories aren't easy to connect...

What if you had game mechanics that encouraged them to participate in actions together to get the benefits? We made a bunch of items that incite a bond between players so that their relationships have a common ground to flourish from!

Check them out in our Patreon if you are interested! We also make Maps, Subclasses, Spells, Feat and more, all wrapped in a monthly themed bundle!

What other ways to you use to build relationships between newer or more inexperience players?

For this work I have been asked to portray an evil guy who, with the power of a strong demonic sword, ends a fight in an alley without even drawing his weapon from the sheath. It was something I experimented with new perspectives, giving the oppressing idea of his power against them who assaulted him. I was also given much freedom, so took that chance to work with darker colors and some weird detail. This illustration will be the endsheet of a deluxe edition book, and I'm really proud of it.

Also, I am open for commissions, so feel free to email or DM me; you can also see more of my work on my ig: simone_tammetta_art .

Enjoy!
