A few Christmas' ago I was gifted this oversized d20 during my dnd group gift swap. The moment I held it I thought it felt like a shift nob. Fast forward a couple of years and I am restoring my 07 Subaru impreza I remembered the d20 and decided to turn it into a custom shift nob. I took the oversized d20 and drilled it out. Then I friction fit a threaded insert with a M10x 1.25 thread pitch. I used a second nut at the base that I can tighten against so the 20 faces the right direction. If the friction fit starts to fail I will probably try to epoxy it in place. I avoided it initially because I didn't want to risk getting epoxy on the threads. Would you guys drive with one? OK I think I have run out the word count to post. But just to be safe: I CAST POTATO!

Anaxandria Ir-Arma

Anaxandria has only come into power within the last few months. Outwardly, she does not seem to rule through quiet diplomacy; she rules through explicit force, intimidation, economic restructuring, and swift, public demonstration. Wealthy merchant estates and former royal holdings in the upper terraces have been seized, partially converted into barracks for the Serat forces, or repurposed as state storehouses to control food distribution.

Anaxandria is not someone who craves a crown out of vanity; she is a survivor of a brutal, systemic hell who views the entire world as a cage that must be broken. Her personality is forged from the cruelty of her early life as an enslaved chattel in Ilindama. Because her birth name was stripped from her and she had to kill to claim a new one, identity to her is something earned, not given. She views weakness and dependency as existential threats. She is fiercely, terrifyingly independent and expects the same relentless self-reliance from those around her. Her deep-seated hatred for aristocratic privilege stems from personal trauma. She knows what it feels like to be treated as property. Hence why she handed the Dirt District back to the poor and tore down the old Aruna Pradesh rule. She doesn't just want to conquer; she wants to humiliate and dismantle the machinery of inherited power.

Obituary..

Zan Zanzibar, high flame of the tempest, reveared son or Zar Zanzibar, died last Tuesday night defending his party while they made their escape. Took a non recoverable necrotic death ray to the face from a particularily nasty beholder while severly wounded, as his own fireball finished him off.

Zan is survived by Zel, Elain, Remmy and Fancyman3000.

May you find peace in the here after you glorious bastard.

After two years of playing this character every other weekend I just wanted to share.

Its funny I feel weird rolling up a new character, like I need a session or two to grieve. Have you felt this?

This is a piece I was commissioned to make recently.

"Bylo Stonefur is an ursine artillerist artificer. Coming from a long line of druids and barbarians, he was obsessed from childhood with fire, and his inquisitive mind drove him to investigate means of creating and manipulating it. A wondering tradesman and artificer once came through his home town and he was fascinated by his arts, quickly becoming his apprentice and going with him in his travels. After learning the basics of tinkering and magic, and seeing increasingly suspicious activity from his master, Bylo was surprised by him one day when he asked him to commit a horrible crime. He abandoned him, but his master swore to find him and kill him. He now is on the move to escape and become more powerful to one day confront him."

I'm currently open for commissions in case anyone is interested! you can see prices and info here:

A Wood Elf Ranger I'm playing in a one-shot later today. The character's design is heavily inspired by Ryoko Kui's artwork in Dungeon Meshi, so I also took inspiration from the series when developing his backstory and role in the world.

Like the "Canaries" in the series, he works as a dungeon explorer and monster hunter, venturing into dangerous underground environments to investigate their depths and deal with the creatures lurking within. I wanted to capture the simple and clean adventuring gear the author does, while keeping the fantasy aesthetic.

Really looking forward to bringing him to life in the table later today!

"The clanking of his armor resonated differently. They knew what was about to happen. Blood had already been spilled on the ground, yet not a single sword had been drawn. The armor itself bit into his flesh: that vessel of pain took the first step, and so it began".

Hi all! Wanted to share this big bad guy I illustrated for an awesome project I'm working on, hope you will like it!

The project is still a work in progress and there are things to work on, but illustrations are coming out in a really awesome way and I'm so proud of all them. They're grim, dark and heavy: like metal.

I am currently also open for commission, feel free to DM or email me for badass dark art, you'll find even more cool stuff on my ig: simone_tammetta_art !

I received a request from a player recently to draw their character, Lorna, an elf of the fighter class. Below is a brief description of the character they provided, along with some notes regarding her appearance.

Backstory:
Lorna was born into a world of turmoil, her home and community ransacked as a small child, burned and destroyed, and her parents lost in the process. Wandering far from her once home, and barely surviving off the land, she was discovered by a tribe of orcs who took her in and taught her their ways.

Lorna adopted many orc customs, and although elvish by blood, is more orc at heart. She uses a blunt and brutal fighting style, and isn’t interested in etiquette or grace. She gets to the point, blows like cannonballs and bombs being released onto her adversaries.

Brief description of appearance:
I imagine her being medium brown in complexion, but with light blonde hair, coiled and abundant in the back, but tight and braided in the front. She is missing her right eye, and has a vertical scar over it, starting at the forehead and going down to her cheek.

She wears armor, but I’d prefer it to look more Greek or Roman in appearance, and with a bit of skin showing as you would see in pop culture depictions of Spartans or gladiators. Sandals are preferred over shoes or boots, and she should carry a large round mace and shield. Maybe a knife or short sword by her side, but it’s not necessary if too much trouble. A gown or cape would be nice too, but as far as color or pattern, whatever you think will work best.

I developed the character based on the following brief, which was accompanied by a few visual references.

Yrindis, the black sheep of a fallen noble family.

Throughout her childhood, she was raised with a single purpose: to marry and save her family from losing their privileges. She was kept surrounded by a façade of extravagance and educated in what she considered the most tedious subjects: embroidery, manners, dancing, and etiquette.

As she grew older, she gradually began to reveal her rebellious spirit, sneaking away to visit nearby villages on her own and get to know the people who lived there. During one of these excursions, she came across an old mage who was helping the village women with matters related to their crops, and asked if she could take part.

The mage saw in her a spark and a thirst for knowledge she hadn't encountered in years. After completing a short ritual in which Yrindis proved useful, the mage offered to become her mentor. Yrindis accepted without a second thought. Her family never heard from her again, though they are still searching for her.

As she grew older, Yrindis realized she had become a strikingly beautiful young woman. She would use these attributes, along with her refined manners, to persuade the village's rulers and gradually secure better living conditions for the people around her.

Physical description

She has a piercing, intense, and seductive gaze that reflects her determination and fiery spirit. She has fair skin, long blonde hair adorned with a crown, and an elegant yet somewhat vulgar style of dress. Her outfit features a sweetheart neckline, silk sleeves, and gold details that subtly remind us that, despite having left her family behind, she is still a noblewoman.

I've been at this monthly table for almost 2 years. People have come and gone but myself and one other character have been at the table the whole time. 3-4 sessions ago, in response to departures, with DMs blessing swapped out my original character for another, a caster druid for a barb-druid. I had been talking about making this switch and when we ended session with caster a POW, I asked if I could just start the new character.

Caster druid mostly did support either changing combat landscape or calling a play that made battles much easier.

Barb-druid is primed for combat with two really good pairings. Polearm master and sentinel. Rage and wild shape. After the first session where I was taking 4 glaive attacks a turn (2x for barb level 5, d4 from pole arm master, and reaction since we were bunched up with the enemy), DM said my character had a target on its back. I said as I've often said "scale up the enemies to match us." We had a tiff where one of the enemies had an effect that I would attack them at disadvantage. I asked if I could use reckless attack to negate the disadvantage. "No, because they are the one that put the effect on you"

Second session with new character I raged and wild shaped. As a totem warrior on the bear path, we talked about how with immunity to everything but psychic, I basically have double the HP.

Third Session was yesterday

On a particular turn, I was raging, killed the last enemy in range, and spotted another enemy 60 ft away, I bonus actioned to wild shape into a panther and run to close the gap. DM says that I can't rage and wild shape at the same time and that if I wildshape, the rage falls off. Rule 0. Fine. So I've closed on the enemy in panther form but my turn is over with getting to attack.

Enemy's turn, DM says they disengage and flee. "Hold on DM. sentinel. I still get my opportunity attack". grumpy noises from DM. It connects but enemy is still upright. DM starts to move the mini. "Hold on DM. I hit with an opportunity attack, their movement speed drops to zero for the rest of the turn." Ranged party member takes their turn and kills enemy with crossbow. Enemy has on-death AoE effect and reduces me to zero health even with making my save. Totally fair the other enemies had it too so no surprises there. And no big deal. Other party member aids me and I use my druid slots to heal myself up a bit.

At a second encounter, we're ambushed while I'm in human form (yes human, I'm not even taking some weird race to get crazy benefits, I just took a feat at level 1 in exchange for darkvision and trance) and flying enemies come by. I'm in front because where else do you put a barbarian, flyer whips past me. "Hold on DM. Polearm master, I get attack of opportunity when they come *into* my reach" The response "Nope, they are small and moving fast. You can't use your feat on them"

Is this a problem of my character being broken? Is my playstyle a problem? Am I reading the rules wrong? or is my DM just ignoring rules?

I understand Rule 0. but before I exercise my right to simply leave the table, I want to attempt a proper conversation about expectations and I'd like advice on how to start that convo. We have discord between sessions
