Yesterday, the party travelled through some caves infested with monsters that hated light and attacked any source of light and those carrying them. So they had to snuff their torches - followed immediately by a chorus of "I have darkvision!"

The only character that didn't, a tortle wizard, agreed to be guided by one of the other characters - the person at the table nearest offered, and they were playing a gnome, and we were struck funny by the tortle holding the hand of the very short gnome. So I decided to make a super quick lightbox style silhouette.

(To make the encounter more interesting, they had to follow a trail of markings of a specific color - so darkvision was actually not enough on its own, and they had to come up with a creative solution or risk more monster attacks.)

What sorts of interesting challenges have you come up with / encountered that involved low light, where darkvision or the light cantrip wasn't enough?

For the last 2 years, I have been having a blast being a DM for a team of awesome adventures, and good friends. Over the last year and a half I'd say, they've been pulling "nice" pranks on me. One of them has been 3D printing awesome random things and hiding them in my dungeon without saying anything while others sneak food and snacks into my fridge and pantry without saying a word. One of them even came by and mowed my lawn and denied the whole thing even though I caught him on camera. It's a kind of chaotic good love that this whole group has, and I'm very blessed for it. Do any of you have any players/DMs who go above and beyond for you outside the game?

This is coming from a DM, I have a player that has informed me that they have a preference for not having their character killed in a campaign. This player is okay with doing combat but is largely interested in RP and said they have wanted to play D&D for awhile but we're scared because they get attached to their characters and believe that since death can happen in D&D they were worried seeing it happen to a character they got attached to could be very upsetting for them. They are slightly embarssed by this and asked me not to tell the other players who are okay with death happening to their characters.

Now I will tell you my thoughts but I wanted to see how other DMs feel. While I agree with other DMs that death adds stakes and permanence to a campaign and can often elevate the RP and drama to another level (I have had games as a player and a DM where a PC death really upped the scale and how locked in everyone is) I also recognize people play for different things. I thanked this player for being honest with me about what they want and told them not to worry about it, I will work around them not wanting their player to die but that doesn't mean they are immune in combat or that their decisions don't matter, they can still be knocked down and their actions will still have consequences in the future for their character as well as impacts the other players as well, I just won't be going for the throat on them, and they need to make sure the rest of the table is okay with it. They agreed and brought it up to the table and they were okay with it because they cared more about them playing with us than what their personal stakes were.

I wanted to get the opinions of other DMs though, what are you thoughts on if a player brought up to you that they don't want their character to die?

Some kind of guard-turned-sentient by whatever artifact it was guarding.

It's limbs are long and thin, while it's torso is broad and triangular with rib-shaped panels. most of it's body is a rough, geometric black stone, while the joints, hands, feet, head and neck are gold. It has a long face with a permanently calm, slightly distained expression, staring straight ahead.

Heyy. I asked for some character ideas on one of my previous posts and got this one, he was fun to draw and good practice.

If you’ve got a character or cool idea for a character that you’d want a quick sketch/drawing done lemme know by giving me a few details, like their class/subclass, race, gender, or any other identifying/ important characteristics. Thx

No promises I’ll get to everyone lol.

I am planning to throw a strong spellcaster at my lvl 11 Party and I was thinking about giving him a single use of disintegrade in case he realises that the Party goes for the kill and not just a capture.

With an average of 75dmg that would be absolutly lethal.

I mean its a 6th lvl spell and the sorcerer in the group also has one lvl 6 Spellslot.

Should I use that spell or do you guys have a different idea for a great last moment "Oh-Shit-Spell"?

Hello! I should probably give context to this so it would make sense.

To put it as simply as I can, my character (Asher) was a cleric to a being known as the "True God" in the campaign. Asher believed that his purpose was to use the powers gifted to him to help others around him. However, as the campaign continued he learned that the True God was actually a literal parasite eating the essence of dead gods (long story) and it was using Asher to gain more power in an attempt to break out of whatever dimension its in. More story stuff happens and the True God completely takes over Asher's body, steals the souls of thousands in an attempt to gain more power, and eventually gets stopped and destroyed by the party. Asher becomes the cleric of a party member (another long story), and now I'm stuck with a pretty big problem, hence the title of the post.

How in the world do I play this character now??? His entire purpose has been stripped away, the god he worshipped lied and used him, he believed that he was meant to help people and ended up hurting many instead, including his party members. I feel like I've been pigeon-holed into playing a super depressed, aimless, nothing but trauma character, and that's not a fun way to play.

edit: I’ve read all of the comments and I just wanted to say thank you so much for the advice, I genuinely appreciate it. I think I’ve finally got an idea that clicked and will be working with my DM to flesh it out.

I’ve been looking into Gnolls online and I love their concept but they’re confusing to me. Like, where did they come from? Why are they birthed from Hyenas? Why do they exist?

I'd like to invite everyone on the DnD sub to meaningfully contribute to my homebrew campaign!

My players have just finished a session where they robbed a noble's house, vandalised the home, stole state-secrets (unknowingly) and killed a guard... now they're about to be arrested and face a magistrate who will determine their punishment!

I've sent them a copy of the below survey where they will role-play pre-session as a magistrate presiding over a number of similar (and some non-similar) matters, and how they choose to punish the NPCs will actually set the precedent for how they are going to be punished! (I think this makes for a fun "reap what you sow" mechanic and something to keep them interested and thinking about the campaign between sessions)

We have three players, and I would love to get a "fourth" magistrate (ie, the wider DnD community) as a bit of a wild-card input.

The below link will take you to a 5 question Google survey form where you can role-play as the magistrate and determine the outcomes / punishments for each of the matters you are presiding over.

(There is a bit of backstory right at the start of the survey, it's not important but I've included it in case the flavor is interesting and helps you get into the role!)

Hope you have a bit of fun with it and enjoy the knowledge that it will have a real-world impact on my players!
