You pry open the heavy earthen door that has been keeping you from the tomb's inner-most sanctum. You are buffeted by a thick cloud of dust that is almost as bad as the stench of fresh corpses that rushes out to greet you. Wait, why would the corpses be fresh? Supposedly none have entered the tomb of the praetors in generations. A shadow moves, defend yourself!

Greetings adventurers! We are excited to announce that the /r/DnD mod team is looking to expand. Moderating a community as robust and complex as ours takes a lot of work, and requires a diversity of thought in its management. Do you think you're up to the task?

We are looking to fill several key gaps in our mod team. We are interested in users who can help with the regex that governs automod, users who can moderate outside of US time zones, users with experience identifying AI content, and users who can advocate for communities that are under-represented on /r/DnD. That being said, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES are encouraged to apply! We need mods who are willing to just do the monotonous busy work of moderating, which is most of the work.

Do you think you would be a good fit for our mod team? Apply today! If you have any questions please let us know in the comments.

2026 /r/DnD Mod Recruitment Form

The application will stay open for at least 1 week, though we may keep it open longer. After applications close we will work to review and reach out to those selected within a week, and then make a public announcement after onboarding.

With the final nothic slain, you are finally able to take in your surroundings. Piles of bodies, some of whom you recognize as the missing clergy, are in various states of decay. You doubt the bishop of Tyr is going to be willing to hand over that bonus now...

Hey everyone! I've recently been invited to play DnD with friends and had to come up with my first ever DnD character.

I decided to go for a tiefling bard. Her name is Zeal and she's a happy-go-lucky kinda gal, a vagabond of sorts aftee fleeing her previous life in Baldur's Gate in search of purpose.

Ngl, DnD lore is just so extensive, I'm very new to this universe but I tried my best researching as much as possible in order to give Zeal a plausible, worthy backstory. I think I managed okay. I mostly find her absolutely adorable and I'm glad I managed to bring her to life with this drawing I made. Hope you like it! 💛

Many years ago I joined a campaign with a DM who was a massive JoJo's fan. So as a meme character I built this guy simply called 'Vainglorious'. The intention that his whole vibe was meant to be a JoJo character with lots of posing as his means of inspiring and all of his Bard magic would look like a Stand. I know Stands are all named after songs so I referred to it as 'Don't Stop Believin''.

All of this was short lived however as Vainglorious pretty much entered the dungeon and IMMEDIATELY died to a trap. The whole experience reminded us all of 'The Guy' from Spy Kids 3.

This is the first time I've attempted to draw the character in a JoJo's style but mixed with my own. I'm hoping to rebuild Vainglorious one of these days to make him a proper character while still keeping the tone and vibes the same. :P

What do people think? :D

The concept for Alkinimic Rex was created by Mike Hollik and illustrated by Mariya Sviridova for the Big Bads project.

Alkinimic Rex is a terrible facsimile of a red dragon approximated by a mimic. Its rows of red mimic eye spots and characteristic purple tongue belie its true nature. Its red scales are patchy, separated by sickeningly pale flesh, and adjoined by vestigial wings that could never lift the dragon's weight. Alkinimic Rex's minions are not kobolds, but "kopybolds," mimics that have taken on the appearance of kobolds. Combining the abilities of a mimic and a dragon, Alkiminic Rex has a unique pseudopod breath and a corrosive aura.

After doing this for a few years, I thought I'd get better at improv, but I'm not.

Party got some ponies from a treasure hunter (Jari) for free that would have normally cost them around 5 gold in total, and money is sparce in my campaign.

The treasure hunter bought them off the local (corrupt) horse trader with stolen jewellery, that the Bree town law enforcement repossessed from the horse trader, so said trader (John Ferny) decided that the best course of action, rather than confront Jari in jail or discuss thing with Bree town council, was to go to the party and take the ponies back himself.

The rogue threatened John with a dagger in his side; those ponies were like her babies. The Ranger in the party started demanding deeds for the ponies sold to Jari, I hadn't even considered he would ask that.

I froze. I had got to John trying to take the horses back, but had thought of nothing beyond that. My head started rushing with possible things to say;

"I'm the only trader in town, why would I need dee--" wait, no that sounds stupid.
"I'm not going to deal with the council after what they did to me---" wait, no, does that work
"You've just messed with the wrong guy in town--" no, why would a trader declare war on adventurers.

The rest of my roleplay just felt embarrassing to me, fumbling through hastily scribbled out deeds and John rounding up townsfolk against the party, when I just wanted to get the party out of the city and on to quests. I wasn't expecting Law and Order: Bree edition.

This is my PC for my weekly IRL game. I've been really into Warhammer Fantasy and wanted to play a version of a questing Knight of Bretonnia. I decided to go with a rune Knight instead of a paladin since we just had a paladin in the party last arc ( RIP Ascia the Defiler). We reflavored the runes to be "Saintly Artifacts" to keep the flavor.

Very fun design challenge. I wanted to keep it more grounded but also have the eccentrics of bretonnian knights design. I've actually started doing a series of knights like this to flesh out his backstory a tad more.

they’re back!!! im soooo happy and so glad that everyone liked them so much!!

they got their lore sheet figured out, their character sheet all filled, and they just had their first solo session :3

i’ve been busy with school and stuff but i still LOVE doodling them

first drawing is them with their weapon, a big ass sewing needle! the second one is a doodle i did of them in my own favorite pajamas!!

the third one is a drawing i did of a human(ish) version of them, sort of like of the opposite end of the bug/human hybrid spectrum.

andddd the fourth one is a doodle of them and two of my other dnd characters in a college/modern au i have! i think they’d all be friends cuz theyre all super sweet and cute and have different japanese fashion styles! Lulu has sort of a shoujo style, Deco has a decora style (teehee), and Mashiro has a lolita style!!

anyway yapping ALMOST over, i decided to do some more research into cockroaches and found out the bite force of cockroaches! then i scaled that up to see what Mashiro’s bite force would be and holy shitballs

they have a bite force of roughly 4,500 newtons, aka a similar bite force to that of a lion.

this 2 foot tall, 20 pound little bug who likes wearing pretty dresses, has the same bite force as a lion.

and i realized if i scaled them up to be human size, they would have a bite force almost twice as strong as a crocodile’s bite force, which has one of the strongest bite forces in the world

so, note to self, dont genetically modify cockroaches to be 5 feet tall

My death domain cleric that i posted once in here, finally got new illustrations with her diffrent typ of clothes thanks to her shiftewave. And luckily my DM was so kind to also allow that the Shiftewave item can also change her Hairstyle and some accessories.

Thank you Illuhsaya from Vgen and Twitter for making my ideas into reality <3

I still have a free spot for tthe shiftweave, if you have any suggestions, feel free to recomment something!

Most Merfolk stick to the reefs, but she always preferred the weird,corners of the abyss. She found this ancient Mola Mola fish drifting like a stone moon, frozen, ancient, and totally drained of magic..

Instead of just passing by, she reached out. That 'Michelangelo moment' wasn't planned; it was just a spark of recognition. The second her finger brushed its side, the starlight trapped in her veins jumped to the fish, lighting up its runes. Now, this big, floating space-pancake follows her everywhere, acting as a literal arcane shield..

DnD doesn't have one world, one set of rules, one magic system etc.

Each table is different, don't ask us how to kill a god, or if such and such an item is allowed or any of that stuff. That's for your DM to rule.
