Can't help but notice in every /r/lfg group I join and every podcast I've seen, they have the air of "We do things a little differently around here."

And I'm not saying it's bad, to be clear. Just that I am now genuinely surprised when I see someone say "Yeah these are just orcs who want to kill you so they can be rewarded in their afterlife by Gruumsh" "This church is actually just a group of nice people who worship a good god" etc etc

Idk, maybe I'm crazy, but I just feel like I'm seeing more people subverting tropes than I see the actual tropes in that now the subversion has become the trope.

Today, the workers behind Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Duel Masters, and more are coming together to unionize as part of United Wizards of the Coast - CWA!

This morning, the Dungeons & Dragons team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work.

We’re proud to follow in the footsteps of MTG Arena’s own union and have worked with them in preparation for today. Now, we get to share it with you all!

Curious how you can help? We ask that you sign our petition for Wizards to voluntarily recognize our union. The support for MTG Arena’s union was key to their victory, and we hope that you show the same support for us.

You can learn more about our mission on our website. Sign our petition, share it with your communities, and keep an eye on this account for future updates.

(while wis is not the most important stat for glooms, here its decent enough to get you 2 strikes per day - not great, not terrible...i think)

background: soldier

fighting style: defense

ability score improvements - focused on stealth

feats: GWM, Medium armor master

Multi-tactical character designed for skirmishing. Stealth and damage should be decent enough to take out high-priority targets in the first round. AC should be decent enough to survive, before escaping the target-rich environment.

Pass without trace is the go-for spell. Also jump for mobility, and fog for emergency evacuation.

Context - We're level 3 playing a homebrewed version of Dungeons of Drakkenheim and are all in agreement that punches arent being pulled in this campaign - The party is on our 4th encounter of the day (The encounter tables were not kind to us) and we opt to retreat as we are all low HP at this point.

Our barb goes down, holding the front line to allow the others to escape and begins to get wailed by these zombies / husks as he's the only one within range, I (Shadow Monk), realise he's going to die if no one goes back and I am the only one who has the movement to reach them and potentially get the two of us away.

I run in, manage to get our Barb free, and drag him away from the enemies, taking a couple attacks of opportunity in the process, into a side street. We turn a corner and get him through the nearest door of a ruined building and hide. The husks cant be more than 20ft from us when I turn the corner and get us through a door.

The DM asks for a stealth check with a disadvantage.

I roll and double nat 20! And the husks meander around alley for a while but ultimately do not find us. I tend to the barbarians wounds and we wait it out while the rest of the party has escaped and is hiding out in a nearby party of the town.

I've never rolled a double nat 20 and the feeling is absolutely wild, I spoke to the DM after on the drive home and he said that those husks were right on our tail and that he was fully expecting us to both be cornered in this building and be killed off as we had maybe 10 HP between us at this point in the day and everyone else had fled

Needless to say, the barb and I now best friends campaign and he can't believe I willingly ran back into the frying pan to drag him out and risk both our lives to try and save him from a desperately dire situation - I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Free mini by DKYN_Minis, direct source here.

I've been DMing Lost Mine of Phandelver for some friends recently and it's my first time running a campaign since I started 3d printing.

I'm a bit rusty on the printing, painting AND DMing fronts but it's all slowly coming back to me and I'm very much enjoying choosing models for each and every NPC they'll come across. Even if there's no need for them since they're not murder-hobos and it's unlikely that I'll need to throw Pip Alderleaf or Sister Garaele down on a battlemap, the look on their faces when I do so and the mini matches the description that they've been given for that NPC is incredibly satisfying when it pays off.

I’ve been working on the concept for this portrait for a while, and I’ve finally finished it! She is a Tiefling character with a dark past, but I haven't settled on a definitive name for her yet. I’d love to hear your suggestions and ideas in the comments.

She survived in the shadows as a ruthless thief. The tattoos on her neck and shoulders are marks of the underworld, earned through dangerous contracts with clandestine criminal guilds.

When a high-stakes heist went horribly wrong and a massive bounty was placed on her head, she devised a desperate cover story: infiltrating a secret order of holy knights while clad in heavy steel plate armor.

We just started a new campaign, and I rolled up a thief rogue. I saw that we were playing with gritty realism, and thought finally I could do a character idea I've been sitting on for long, mostly due to always being the DM: heavy hitter weapons expert. We had fun doing fluff for a few hours, character interactions, we pretended to be a couple and their kid to get a discount at the restaurant, it was all fun. Then a short combat, objective based, we kidnapped someone, then let them go after an interrogation.

Then came the post game talk. We always offer feedback on everything, so we can have more fun than before. A player tried to tell me about some shitty homebrew he came up with, I say that because his original goal was to "fix" the martial caster divide, which this failed to do completely. I won't go into details, it was all cool ideas, just not at all what he meant to do. I explain how this would buff casters equally compared to martials, I pull up one of my caster character sheets, tell him what changes this would warrant me to make, etc etc.

"Well you're an optimizer, of course you'd do that"

This was the general sentiment. I don't remember their exact words. They called me an optimizer, insinuating that wanting a capable character is bad. These are the same people that rolled their eyes when I told them I'm building into true strike on my rogue for a couple extra damage dice down the line, the same people that looked at me like I called them names when I explained that ideally a rogue can somewhat safely sneak attack twice per round to attempt to keep up with the damage of other martials. These people know fuck all about the game, one shows up to half the sessions late, unprepared and having to fix their spell list, called rogues "obviously broken" unironically when we played a high level oneshot and I was a rogue and dared deal more damage than the warlock who refused to do anything other than FUCKING eldritch blast because "heeheehoohoo warlock go pew pew" and now tell me that they don't want to play with an optimizer.

I'm not playing an optimized character right now. For one I'm a martial. They've never seen me play an armor dipped wizard with a magic initiate feat and a hyper optimized spell list so they have no frame of reference. What annoys me to no end is that they legitimately don't realise basic concepts like "hey if I have 3 5th level spell slots per short rest maybe I should use at least 1 per combat, most likely in the first turn I get instead of just spamming my basic attack" and call me an "optimizer" when I suggest splitting up and getting behind cover against a dragon.

For the next session, I'm bringing a new character. Hal Fling is a halfling with the tough feat, a 4th level champion fighter with a +2 to dex as their only ASI, who has a sword and shield, does 1 attack per round, never uses "stupid and broken" (actual quote) tools like the dreaded caltrops, and just like them, won't understand the point of surprising the enemy, getting behind cover, or daring to spend short rest resources on the only combat of the day. They will also spend all their downtime staring at the wall.

Thank you for reading, I've been needing to vent.

Edit: I'm fucking crying now I don't even know why, I genuinely have a problem I think I don't know what to do. I can't step away from the table, I live with some of these people, they're all my friends. Why can't this just fucking work? I can't do anything else in my freetime, I've been unable to for months now. Why can't this fixation just end already? Who do I even go to for help with this?

My friend asked me to draw her oc after she got bad mood on her journey, Meet Rinela nuri or (the shaded rose of the dunes ) people called her . There is a reason for the name
She is the one who left behind from her party during heavy sand storms because the wing made her pushed back for hours .
and now she is trying her best to escape the desert to find her party .
Hunting, follow the shade of ruins and seek supplies to survive terrain , Rinela only flight at night because it’s easier for her .
Right now she got cornered by some knights for unknown reason . That’s why my friend got bad mood .
To be honest I don’t know in details but here is the art I made

I was recently creating a level 20 Wizard for a one-shot, and I realized a fun usage of my Spell Mastery. The character is an Arcane Barrister, ie. magic lawyer of high standing, so I gave him Spell Mastery in Unseen Servant. I then thought “how many Unseen servants could you have at once?” followed by “what could they do?”.

The first question is quite easy. The first unseen servant lasts for 1 hour (600 rounds), so you can make 600 unseen servants. You can then maintain this swarm by expending an Action and Bonus Action on every turn, keeping it up forever. Or at least, you would think. Unfortunately the spell states that you can’t order an Unseen Servant to go 60 ft away from you; so presumably this combo is limited by this 60 ft radius. This would mean you could only summon 575. EXCEPT, that’s thinking in 2 dimensions. Have 24 servants piggy back ride, and suddenly you can have your full 600.

Now, the second question. Each Unseen Servant has 2 Strength, and thus a carrying capacity of 30 lbs and a max lift of 60 lbs. Not much, but that’s individually. Combined, on the other hand, it is 8.625-17.25 TONS! And that’s assuming your DM doesn’t let you have the full 600 (it’s their right). That’s as much rock as a large team of professionals can move in an entire day, and your crew is doing it EVERY 6 SECONDS.

Imagine setting yourself up for a siege without needing any manpower, blocking a passageway with a good chunk of prep time, or doing some wild out of combat service in your local community! Its just so fun to imagine what the power of a high level wizard can do in such a ground manner, without expending any resources!
