I run a homebrew campaign for my housemates, and I gifted them with a rundown abandoned skyship to get around. Truthfully I just needed a project to do, and creating a scale model that was 'somewhat' practical seemed like a fun idea. I also just had the image of this skyship stuck in my mind.

The first step was concepting out the design in PS. Took a good few weeks in-between work. Next was 3D modelling it in Blender. This was the real meat and potatoes, and took about a month. Then resin 3D printing it. About a week of 12hr prints. And then sanding, and gluing, and painting (I'm no expert at painting so don't come at me, it's like the 3rd thing I've painted).

All up it took maybe 4 months start to finish, and I managed to keep it a secret from my players until I revealed it in session (they knew I was doing something, just not this).

I figured I'd also explain some design decisions, given there are things specific to the homebrew setting. And it might be fun to add a little lore to it for you guys.

The Ferrous Drift, was once a luxury air-yacht. Owned by a Lord Halvric of Thelonamar. A small border town of the Paxinan Kingdom, and a place intended to be a beacon of Mystech development.

Unfortunately, hope would be cut short, when a magic consuming plague swept through the town, rapidly killing the residents. Including Lord Halvric. The only surviving member of the town was a single porcelain automaton named Claymore. The personal guard of Lord Halvric, gifted to him by the Paxinan King. This automaton sealed the entrance to the Ferrous Drift's dock tower, following it's last directive. Let no one escape, lest the plague spread.

Now our adventurers rock into town (a Kobold Fighter, a Human Mystech Engineer, and a Noble 'Human' Ranger. Discovering the fate of this town, they eventually find this automaton 'Claymore' blocking the way to the skyship. And instead of fighting him (what I planned for), they decided to try help him be free of his programming (oh shit I see where this is going, sick ideas forming). They eventually find a way to make Claymore break free from his own programming, the first time this has ever happened to an automaton. In doing so Claymore gains free will, becomes the settings first Warforged, and joins the party as an NPC.

The party then board the rusty malfunctioning Ferrous Drift, and hobble to the capitol of the Kingdom, Nathil.

While in Nathil they earn a ton of gold, and fix/upgrade their skyship with the following:
- New Mystech Engine. Now they don't have to let it cool every few hours.
- New Sails and Sail Gyros. Giving the ship a boost to Dex.
- Manipulator Conduits. A once a day ability that allows the skyship captain to control four large magical hands that follow the ship and essentially behave as a Bigby's Hand (these are the silver 'knuckles' on the model. ten hand knuckles for 4 hands).
- 3 'Impulse Windows'. Magical veils that boost the distance of ranged weapon attacks made through them.
- And a Thaumacite Rapidcannon. A wood and white porcelain (thaumacite) big gun with a gunner seat for the Kobold. This takes up a sizable portion of the small ship interior space, and the Kobold has to sleep in the gunner seat. (I didn't put this on the model cause 4 months was long enough haha).

And lastly the party renamed the skyship to the "Zero Dawn"

Thanks for listening to my rambling. I hope it inspires you guys or something. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer.

Edit: Here's a little link to some additional photos. https://imgur.com/a/vK0t55P

This is a traditional illustration i made of my D&D group, the "Men Eaters", in a poster like composition. This campaing its been so far my favorite I've ever played and I'm having so much fun with it! We are now at Yon.
Our party members are:

Floyen, the sorrowfull

Elisia, the heir

Rosa, the mighty

Anna, the serious

I challenge you all to guess their classes! Hint: Two are marcial classes, two are spell casters.

I’ve only ever played 5e but I saw this while looking at the board game section of my local Goodwill. Looking at the art in the box I thought it was much older but after checking the back I saw that it was 4e and published in 2010. With a cursory inspection in my car in the parking lot it looks like the only thing missing is the D20 from the dice set. It even has an unused character sheet. All and all not bad for 9 bucks.

I'll go first.

20 minutes of research and discussion about if "Create/Destroy water would remove the liquid from a barrel of Coconuts

A traveling satyr bard shares a quiet moment with his companions, trading steel for song after a long day on the road. Around the campfire, stories grow, guards lower, and for a brief while the world feels kind. A small scene from a private D&D campaign commission, focused on mood, character interaction. Moments like these are what keep an adventuring party together long after the fire dies down.

Painted in PS.

The philosophy behind this character is that he uses the dead corpses of his foes to his own benefit, making armor and weapons out of their bones.

Because he has an insatiable hunger which is typical of a snake, he usually devours the flesh, organs and everything comestible out of the creatures/humans he kills, gorging on their meat so his unstoppable appetite may be satiated - even for a little while.

He usually cannot be trusted, even though he is mostly made of human flesh, other typical snake traits dominate his behavior, such as lying, backstabbing and greed.

Generally hating every living being on the planet, nobody is really safe around him for he will try to think of ways to turn anyone into a skeleton to be forged into his equipment.

Hey y'all!

I just wanted to share something I found at an estate sale recently. I live in Texas and this estate sale was at the home of a Republican that was involved in politics. Along with a few VHS tapes, I went home with a "tub of political keepsakes." Nestled in between bumper stickers and a card from Ronald Reagan I found an interesting pamphlet about Dungeons and Dragons. I thought this was super cool. The satanic panic movement is a fascinating time to think about and this is a neat Iittle artifact from that time.

Has anyone seen one of these before?

Anyways stay safe y'all! It's not only a game!

S’tzaari, despite what one may believe, is deeply insecure. He is rather small for a demon and cannot hide his natural physique behind armor due to his tattoo, so he compensates by ensuring his skill with his weapons are both lethal and brutal. However he feels about his size, it often plays to his advantage, as his opponents tend to underestimate him. A fatal mistake most don’t live to make again. When he is not training, he spends his free time seeking pleasure through violence. Most often he hunts, but sometimes he picks fights, either way, he finds himself most at home when drenched in blood and surrounded by the wails of his enemies.

I didn’t realize how much I was enjoying drawing this character until like an hour ago 😭 I rarely draw the same character twice, so the fact that I’ve drawn him four times says a LOT. Especially bc he isn’t a caster, which is very atypical for me.

It’s fun drawing him a bit more casual however, maybe I should show him mid fight in the next one?

Fun Facts

*He’s 6’8, which definitely does not compare to the vast majority of his demonic brethren

*He does not know how to actually chill and enjoy the moment, always seeking the next goal, whether that be a victim, a ploy for power, or a bed partner. He’s always on the move.

*His particular fighting style is unique to him, he modifies it over the years to compensate for his additional arms and make battle fluid.

Heyooooo, this is Laexis!

I played him a couple years ago already, for 2.5-3 years, he went from level 3 to 14.

Back then he was a Sorcerer/Warlock, he had a sentient sword, which turned out to be a demon, Eate'dor, bound into the sword.

He traded his memories from that campaign to a Night Hag, in exchange for breaking the binds of the demon.

Now he is an Astral Self monk, and Eate'dor is his "astral self". I'm reflavouring the subclass a bit, they will be more like shamans and their guardian ghosts in Shaman King :D

The chains that used to bind the demon now serve as reminders only (and are perfect to make the manifested arms arrear to be hovering), along with the broken sword that he used to be imprisoned in.

Not sure how to start. I created my first D&D character for a podcast I do 8 years ago. I've been playing her solidly since 2021 (I've played other characters before and since then for other campaigns). Last night's game wrapped up our season 3 (100+ very heavy RP episodes), and her storylines and everything she hoped to accomplish wrapped up. She's got a happily-ever-after. I know it's time to sunset her, but I'm so freaking sad. It's ridiculous, but I've put so much of myself into her. I've created her replacement, but it doesn't feel the same. For more veteran players, did you feel the same attachment to other characters? Like I said, I've played other characters, but I've never had an attachment like this. Is it because she was my first? Because it's been so many years? How do you create the same level of excitement and heart when changing a character?
