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.

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.

Been trying to find a "bff" group for years. Even the best groups I found fizzled out after a campaign ended. Most people seem to want a content creator to run games for them, and not a friend they want to share an experience with.

I figured you know what, fine. I'm gonna sell myself. I started running paid games and now I actually feel like I'm finally actually getting something back for my work and effort.

10/10, would recommend for underappreciated DMs

My DM absolutely broke me this session.

My characters (a bard) parents were killed for their musical instruments. She has mudered the killers, and is now seeking answers as to why they were killed in the first place. We had an awesome combat round where my character finally locates her mother's lyre. A voice echoed out after touching the lyre and my dm had a recording ready. I was so excited to hear the lore. As soon as I heard the voice my face and heart just fell.

It was my long distance best friend (who I NEVER get to see) playing my characters mother. I couldn't contain myself when she started saying how much my I (my character) means to her and she's sorry she didn't get to tell me more about our life story. She ended with "Never forget, we love you so so much" and I was a ball of tears and snot on the floor.

I love my DM 🥹❤️

A bookish werefox with a sharp mind, she prefers dusty tomes to tavern brawls, though she’s deadly when cornered.

Raised through a harsh childhood like many werefoxes of the region, she hides a cunning mind behind a charming smile. She knows how to sway influential men to protect her freedom, while traveling the frozen lands in search of knowledge and adventure.

Commission work ❄️

A drunken monk Tabaxi that I got to play for a couple games. One day I'd like to try him in a full campaign. I love tigers so couldn't help but go for a chubby drunk tiger. In my head his martial arts "weapon" was just like a keg he would hold under his arm and bap enemies with "by accident". His name is Zohahrr cuz I really like to roll my r's when I speak as him.

He never had much of a backstory since he was originally made for a friend's one shot. So every time I use him I just try to have him be whatever the DM or party might need origin wise. That said, he always enters waking up from a drunken night out. He's pretty fun to draw not gonna lie.

Disclaimer, I have no idea if this game actually exists or not beforehand, but I've never seen it anywhere.

It's played in a "best of" format - best of 3, best of 5, etc. There are two players.

There is a target goal of 18 that you want to get as close to, without going over (like blackjack).

You roll ANY three dice you want. Want to play it safe? Roll 3d6 to guarantee you don't go over 18. Need to play it riskier? Roll a d10 and 2d6. Just remember, if you go over 18, you lose that round.

Assuming neither player breaks 18, the higher number wins.

That's it! If this game exists already, PLEASE tell me. I seriously doubt I'm the first person to come up with this, but I've never seen it anywhere else before!

For whatever reason, one of the members of our group(we all rotate DM’s every now and then as it is an experienced group) has this really solid misconception of the Necrotic Damage Type. And that is that Necrotic Damage just outright stops and negates any sort of Hit Point recovery for one full turn. I immediately thought of this as fishy and just a head turner, but all the other members didn’t say anything or seem to have a problem with it, so I sat quiet and just accepted it thinking that they were right.

Well, curiosity got the better of me, and I can’t find anything 8th level character and lower that would just straight up negate hit point recovery via Necrotic Damage, is this misconception from a high level spell or an older version of D&D?

So this is the work-in progress for drawing my party of seven for the new Neon Odyssey settings.

There is T1N-C4N aka Tin Can, my anitron juggernaut (barbarian) he was originally a deposit security bot, but after getting severely damaged, he was dumped in a junkyard. One of the other players, an Oozoid Mechanist, eventually found him, pulled him out of the junkyard, and reprogrammed him.

We also have Mold the Oozoid mechanist my friend's character who created and reprogrammed Tin Can.

There will be five more characters added later, being: nematoan gridrunner, nilari disciple, zorbrak tracer, saurian oracle, and the amanite cryptist.
