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.

Wanted to share my low budget setup for in-person dnd. There's always paper lying around somewhere so why not recycle it into dnd pieces? Some coloured markers to personalise the player pieces and boom!

There are plenty of youtube tutorials for all sorts of things like dragons and animals but my go-to channel is Jo Nakashima (not promoting).

For maps I have paper that I drew a grid on and laminated so I can use dry erase markers (I made four so in case I need a bigger map). I used to have origami trees for the maps but I stopped using them because they kept falling over.

What is one thing you say no to?

We're not talking about saying no to unsolicited PVP, saying no to unwanted NSFW stuff, saying no to OP homebrew.

We're talking about the smaller nos, the ones that is less about rules or good player etiquette, but rather, lack of preference, lack of experience, or you don't just want it in your game.

This question came up in my mind when I joined a homebrew campaign a few weeks ago and the DM told me that he doesn't want to implement player character backstories, not because of animosity but because he struggles to do it. I respected his decision because he was willing to admit fault, he knows his comfort zone.

For myself, I personally don't do downtime activities, unless the party asks for it specifically but even then I'll keep it short and simple, I just don't find it that interesting and I see it as filler.

Hi, this is my first post in this subreddit and hopefully the first of many. This was a drawing I did on r/characterdrawing for a request. The style is heavily inspired by the art of @ artharakka namely the way she includes all the personal items into the character sheets as a subtle way of storytelling. I’m trying to spruce up my character art and I’m really proud how this turned out. One thing I’m considering is to add scribbles and text to certain items in the drawing like it’s someone writing in a journal observations about the character.

“Wither & Bloom”
Finally done with this piece. “D” a dullahan (fey subrace), and Sirona a satyr.
(Cavalier fighter and Divine Soul sorcerer)

Backstory:
Sirona chanced on a dying elven knight in the feywilds. Despite pulling Daegmund back from the brink of death with her healing powers, fey magic proved too unpredictable and changed him instead.

He is brought back as a dullahan going by the moniker “D”. Believing his death to be an atonement and redemption by Sirona’s hand, he pledged himself to her cause. In turn, Sirona bestows on him the title of champion and first faithful. He now fights by her side as she navigates the long path to ascension.

When I say this, I mean the actual logistics of getting them to stop coming. My party has this one guy who genuinely never stops ruining plans the players made, interrupting deep moments, breaking character, breaking rules, breaking meta, and he’s genuinely just here to screw around more than to play DND. I’ve sat him aside many a time to try and get things straight but never once have I seen a change. I set him three strikes and he practically speedran getting himself banned, but the next session he still showed up and will not leave if asked. I ignore him best I can, and the rest of the party try too, but this is honestly ruining the game for me and likely the players. I need some kind of way to actually have the ban work. Any ideas or things I might not have thought of?

This artwork was made for a commission, and I ended up loving the final result because I had so much fun throughout the entire process. During this piece, I experimented with a new rendering and finishing technique that I’ve been wanting to try for a while, and honestly, I’m really happy with how it turned out in the end.

Exploring new textures, lighting, and details during the painting process made this illustration feel very special to work on. It’s always exciting when a commission also becomes an opportunity to grow artistically and test new ideas.

What do you guys think about the final result?

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share this commission I had the pleasure of working on ✨ This character isn’t one of my original creations, but a commission for a client. Meet Rhythm, a Tiefling Bard Dancer! I had so much fun bringing their design to life and exploring their vibrant personality through this piece. I hope you love how they turned out, and thank you so much for all the support always 💜

Hello there, adventurers, here is another one sketchy character commission I drew recently. And as it was the comm, I have no backstory for her , but we can take a look to the character and see that she is not quite regular drow , I guess. But , what I love in dnd most- you can create, almost whatever you like, build your own story around it, even if you don’t p,at. Good brain exercises tbh.
Well, as for the drawing-your critics are welcomed, feel free to put some words if you have something to tell. As for Drow- pretty sure you know a lot already and you can find information in net or books, pretty sure they will tell you about drows much more better than I can.
This is all what I wanted to print here, stay safe and have a good day, see you next week with next sketch!
