I started this project in June of 2019, about 6 months after I got my cat Kaylee.

The only planning i did for this project was I knew where it wanted to go, and I knew that i wanted the top of the tree to match the height of the window sill it was going next to. So, using those measurement, I found out how big the d20 had to be if I wanted to use half inch plywood on top and bottom. It wasn't until I started cutting the 19 triangles that I realized what I was getting myself into, this thing was going to be large!

That first month or so I got quite a lot done, those will be the progress pics of the die being built. I just made a jig for my table saw to cut all of the angles as consistent as i could manage on each triangle. And then I used those little wood triangles support pieces (made from pressure treated 2x4 cause i had just built a fence and I don't like waste) on the inside to actually hold the pieces together, the large clamps weren't there to clamp, but to force the shape to not flatten out like a plastic d20 under a blow torch.

I knew that I wanted to have one face open to give my cat a place to jump into. Originally I wanted it to be like a blanket nest on the bottom that she could crawl down into, which is why you see the spray foam on the bottom. But, the more I thought about it, if she got into the bottom, and like I needed to get her to the vet or something, I would never be able to get her out of it lol. So I decided on a single shelf, but by that time, there were only 2 faces open, so i had to make it a folding design, so I could put it in, unfold it, and then screw in the last die face. The last step in this phase was finishing the inside, which was just pillow fluff and a DnD patterned fabric held in place by tacks.

I just realized that I don't have pics of the "supports" that go on the top and the bottom of the die. Since I wanted a flat plane for my cat to jump into, I had to tilt the die up on its edge. So I cut out several sets of triangles until I found the angle that worked out perfectly, and then I epoxied them in. I didn't want them to move EVER AGAIN(it was an annoy process if i'm being honest)! But yes, I had to get measurements of a die up on its edge in order to get the size to fit my window casement perfectly lol. I honestly don't know how I got it right lol.

And then...the moment I dreaded came to be...the great encarpeting. I ended up going to Home Depot and buying 2 rolls of short pile carpet, the gray and blue. I had to search for a printer in town that would be able to print the very large die face templates as I wanted them in 2 face segments in paper. I'll try and attach a pic of one of those. Then I had just had to start cutting, first all of the numbers out of the paper, and then all of the numbers out of the carpet. As I was cutting i realized that I had to cut the numbers twice each anyway, so i decided to pre-cut the large blue sections for the top and bottom, and then the blue number i cut out of there to go onto the die faces, and then the gray number cut out of the die faces went to the top and bottom! Least about of waste possible.

I ended up doing 2 faces at a time, putting it in position, making sure the numbers fit well inside the gray cutouts, and then I used carpet glue. Oh boy is that a pervasive substance. I had to sacrifice a pair of old socks that I only wore inside of the room I was working in.

Very very slowly it came together. It was actually pretty solid with just the connections between the die and the top and bottom plywood, but I decided to use 2x4s on the corners for additional support, I was originally going to just cardboard tubes, but the thing is a tank now with the additional support on the sides. There is no internal support inside the die, it was strong enough that I could put my weight on the stop of the die and it would hold its shape very well.

Last step was to put it all together, cover the 2x4s with sisal rope for the top and bottom, and then I used Furniture protector self-adhesive pads for in the middle part. She seems to really like it!

If I can, I'll post the video of her discovering it for the first time. She spent many hours watching me work on it from the door way, as I didn't let her in the room cause of the carpet glue lol. I think she knew it was for her. =D

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the insanity that is this project! =D

I'm also open for work, so feel free to DM me if you're interested! :)

Ghanor is a fantasy world from the NerdCast RPG series by Jovem Nerd, a Brazilian podcast and entertainment platform. The story follows a group of adventurers who get caught up in all sorts of trouble, facing monsters, exploring strange places, and going on some pretty wild adventures. It's a mix of fantasy, humor, and classic D&D.

This piece is based on the third adventure, "The Raven, the Harlot and the Bucentaur" (NerdCast RPG #341), which wraps up the original trilogy. It shows the battle against the Tarrasque, the Devourer of Worlds, with three adventurers riding a black phoenix beneath a solar eclipse. I had a lot of fun working on this scene and trying to bring one of the campaign's most memorable moments to life.

I think this is just a cultural difference in how folks engage with the hobby, but sheesh! Two players that are friends of different friends, both who "have played a lot of D&D", both who showed up with character sheets they had almost no knowledge of, both of whom treated Mage Hand like it was the tool for any and every situation.

I'll say here at the start, some of the uses aren't necessarily against the rules. However, in a campaign at this level, going against significant enemies and complicated encounters, wasting an action mid-combat to cast Mage Hand instead of using (or even knowing about) any of one's many, many other abilities feels unwise! If this was a low-level campaign, I'd totally appreciate the ingenuity more.

But anyways, yes, I'm talking about trying to use it to: disarm an enemy, pull a carriage door off its hinges or break a window on it, give another player a boost (advantage on climbing), yank on a vehicles handlebars to throw an enemy off, distract an enemy by "waving it in their face", "scare" or intimidate another enemy with it (like Mage Hand is uncommon in this world), climb a rope and keep both hands free, manipulate an object 120 ft. away, or extend the range of a weapon attack.

This isn't a complete list of examples, but dealing with them was just...a little exhausting, particularly because each of them had access to things so much more powerful and explicitly allowed in the game! I came to find out one of them didn't even have access to the spell after our first session where it came up (my fault for not thoroughly checking their character sheet I suppose). They just assumed Mage Hand was sort of free thing that anyone had.

This is certainly half just a vent post, but that last point really had me thinking about the way other tables play, and if it really is just Calvinball or "copy what I see in AP shows without reading the rules" out there. This is my first experience with this, and people really really seem to love Mage Hand!

Below is the description that the player provided:

Vesper's appearance has changed drastically over the course of the campaign, but a few key things remain the same. She stands as a tall Fire Genasi woman, 5'10, with bright orange skin, and her Efreeti heritage evident in her high cheekbones, sharp features, and thin, arched eyebrows. Her hair is shorn on the left side, the right a long cascade of wavy, charcoal black hair that end in burnt tips that flare with strong emotions like blowing air through dying cinders that lays just past her shoulders. Her eyes are piercing, the whites of her eyes a dull grey and the irises glowing bright orange.
Her skin is marred with long cracks that seep with glowing divine light, extending across her torso, arms, and legs, ending just below her chin. Most of the light has been replaced with a deep black, almost like liquid obsidian had poured into the cracks, but a bit of light still remains, mostly towards the end of her arms and neck. Her hands and forearms are the same charcoal black as her hair, almost like she had rubbed them in soot, fading into orange near her elbows. She wears a simple sleeveless off white tunic with a sturdy breastplate over the top that has been fitted to her torso, ending at her waist, with a heavy grey cloak fastened over the top of everything, the ends singed like a burnt piece of parchment that occasionally sends burning ashes scattering into the wind. She wears simple baggy canvas pants to allow a wide range of motion, fastened with a heavy leather utility belt adorned with spell components and druidic trinkets, ended in sturdy leather boots. She carries a polished club made of dark wood, the end carved into the shape of a heavy wooden knob that hangs from her belt, along with a finely made greatsword of elven make, with a slight curve along the blades outer edge, with a small carved ivory statue of a phoenix tied hastily to the swords pommel with leather straps that acts as her druidic focus, allowing her to cast spells : wield the sword at the same time.

hi everyone! small holiday giveaway from GameFancy, the studio where I sew dice bags since 2020.

The prize is the bag in the photo, it has 6 rainbow pockets inside.

• holds about 300 dice. each pocket takes 6-7 full sets and there is a center section too, so 7 sections in total
• rigid square bottom, it stands open on the table and you can see all your dice
• gabardine outside, 100% cotton lining

people sometimes ask for 8 or 10 pockets. we can’t do it, that many layers of fabric don’t sew well, so 6 pockets plus the center is our max.

How to enter: leave any comment, that’s it.

• I will pick 1 winner on November 13 with RedditRaffler
• open to the US, Canada, Australia and the UK. it ships from our warehouse in Miami right after the draw, shipping is on me
• your account has to be at least 3 months old
• nothing to buy or follow. I will only ask the winner for a name and shipping address

Some numbers from our reviews, since the most common question is how big a bag you need:

• 44 reviews say how many dice they carry. the median is 9-10 sets, about 65-70 dice
• 19 of those 44 say there is still room left in a 300 dice bag, only 2 say it’s tight
• in 227 reviews where the bag was a gift, 27% were for a friend and 18% for a partner. for the DM only 5 tho

good luck everyone 🎲

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share this commission I had the pleasure of working on ✨ Meet Colette, Inspired Cleric! While she isn’t one of my original characters, I had a wonderful time bringing her to life through this piece. I hope you love how she turned out as much as I enjoyed creating her. Thank you so much for your support, kindness, and for taking the time to check out my work. I truly appreciate every bit of encouragement and support! 💜✨

This piece is more symbolic than literal of any one place in our campaign. Depicting our characters in ways that speak to their relationships to echother and the world. All while being encompassed by a blue rose motif which crops up throughout our campaign. I got this printed and framed for my DM's birthday.

From left to right we have Anthem the Artificer then Tholdach the fighter. Their relationship is quite contentious. Then Odren the rogue and finally Gargnog the wizard. A character which seems to be on the main story but also seems to be off on his own quest with the fairies most of the time haha.

I wanted this piece to be kinda reflective introspective and peacful. You can view it framed and more of my work here: https://www.artstation.com/blakerottinger

Thanks for looking!

Saw a post about what to say instead of “you miss” when someone rolls too low on an attack roll. Feel free to add more in the comments.

-the enemy parries your attack
-your blow glances off their armor/thick hide
-the enemy is deft and dodges your attack at the last minute
-you swing wide.
-you weapons glance off each other
-you trade blows but cannot seem to get past their defenses
-the enemy dances around your weapon. They’re playing with you.
-they bring up their weapon just in time to fend off your attack
-you strike a glancing blow but the enemy shrugs it off, smiling grimly.
-your arrow/spell goes wide.
-you watch your arrow skim your enemy’s ear
-you heard steel resound on steel as the enemy catches your blow.
-your opponent knocks your attack away with a contemptuous slap
-the enemy catches your weapon with their own, bringing your faces almost close enough to brush noses before pushing apart.
-you see spellwork spark harmlessly and fizzle out in the air near them
-the {scenery, trees, dirt, brickwork etc.} behind your target is scorched by your spell but they are unharmed
-you see your {ranged weapon} bury itself next to your target
-you see your {ranged weapon} tossle their hair as their eyes sweep frantically in your direction
-you rattle their helmet but they are unharmed
-you hit nothing but air
-the enemy scoffs at your attempts to hit them

According to the PHB:
---
Food

A character needs one pound of food per day and can make food last longer by subsisting on half rations. Eating half a pound of food in a day counts as half a day without food.

A character can go without food for a number of days equal to 3 + his or her Constitution modifier (minimum 1). At the end of each day beyond that limit, a character automatically suffers one level of exhaustion.

A normal day of eating resets the count of days without food to zero.

Water

A character needs one gallon of water per day, or two gallons per day if the weather is hot. A character who drinks only half that much water must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer one level of exhaustion at the end of the day. A character with access to even less water automatically suffers one level of exhaustion at the end of the day.

If the character already has one or more levels of exhaustion, the character takes two levels in either case.
---

My players would find this far too tedious, and have opted out of systems that track individual food, water, and tiredness, and just rolled it into their lifestyle allowance.
