Khoratari degli Ulteriori (of Ulterior's monk), just Khora for her friends, grew up in a monastery and learned in the hard way how the world works outside. She has a kind and gentle heart, she is a bit naive and often level-headed even though she doesn't suppress her emotions, especially anger.

We are almost at the end of this campaign and I can't wait to see how it will turn out. 🦉🦉

Fun fact: when I sent this drawing to our campaign's DM and asked for his "blessing" to post it, he jokingly replied: "I almost feel bad about having to kill her off in the next session"...

I'm scared.

First thing, good morning/afternoon to all of you; i hope you're all doing well!

Now, a little bit of context: this friend of mine declared their love to me 2 years ago and got rejected, since i didn't return their feelings

However, since we still cared about each others a lot, we continued to stay friends despite the initial tension, and we started a dnd champaign togheter shortly after; we were four at the table: my best friend, me, them, and their roomate

Now, both me and their character are gay, so they could actually be in a romantic relationship, however, the problem lies in the fact that this friend of mine tends to play characters that are just like themselves (very kind, sweet, likes to read etc etc) and with this premise, i felt very uncomfortable during our sessions

They tried to start a romance with my character despite mine being clearly uninterested in a romance in the first place, they forced dialogues with my character ending up ignoring all the others (they never started a dialogue with them and have zero interest in a romance with them, despite them being gay too), and they tend to get jealous when i interact with other Npcs in a slightly flirty way (one day, after interacting with a mercenary, they came to me after the session telling me that the romance route with their character was still open to follow)

Now, this friend of mine si very sweet and kind, i mean this, but they have a tendency to not recognize boundaries properly, so i don't know how to approach this issue because on one side, i don't want to offend them, as they probably don't mean any harm, but on the other, my enjoyment of the sessions has been greatly decreased by their attitude, because i feel like i have to protect myself from making them think that i may have changed my mind about my feelings towards them

Do you have any suggestions on what is the best course of actions right now?

Shortly, i will be the DM of a new champaign, and i want to start it in better terms

Thank you in advance for listening, and sorry for my english: it's not my first language!

I’ve been running various TTRPG’s for about a decade give or take. Usually 5e, but I’ve also run Cyberpunk, Star Wars, and other bigger franchise games. But after looking at this sub, I’m certain that I’m not getting the right experience. Here’s what I mean.

- I have three players. They have the audacity to show up every single week on time. One of them even shows up 15 minutes early, the nerve. And get this. When they do (rarely) cancel, I almost always have at least two days notice. Awful!

- We talk socially for about an hour or so, and then they will lock in for the rest of the night? Like I don’t get it.

- Sometimes, they even chip in for pizza together and refuse to let me buy? Aren’t they supposed to suck away every resource I have as a DM?

-They constantly are making these beautiful but simple back stories, and always leave enough room in them for me to give them cool quests and stories. Ridiculous.

- None of them make awfully racist/sexist/homophobic jokes? I thought that D&D was a tale of being your worst self because it’s just a game?

- Last week I made the wrong call on a rule, and apologized to the player it affected after by text. Get this, he said “no problem, I know you have a lot to handle as a DM, but thanks for letting me know”. Like??? Where’s the drama???

Can someone help me figure this out? What can I do to find the ACTUAL D&D experience.

We have been playing together online for about 3 years. I am playing a paladin. PvP was discussed as loosely OK and we have had things like accidental damage happen from casting spells with allies in it with no problem etc.

Last session, we were fighting some devils when the Warlock cast Mass Suggestion on the party saying: “Let’s stop fighting, work together on this and allow them to take us to their leader so that we can survive.” My paladin was the only one who failed the save and was effectively mind controlled.

The Barbarian tried to free me by slapping me and I told him to go for it. The Warlock argued, the DM agreed, that the Barbarian did not count as an ally because their interests are not currently aligned so the 20 damage he dealt me couldn’t break me out of the spell. It felt completely ridiculous. The DM never explained his reasoning, but it seems like the logic was that if you don’t agree with everything someone does, they don't count as an ally?

Afterwards, the Warlock sent out a message saying: "Don’t hate me guys. DM made me do it... I was in for the ride though" but honestly that hasn't made the situation feel any better. My emotions are really raw atm but the ruling has really bothered me.

Am I overreacting?

Description:
High Elf (Elf) Warlock of the Archfey (Patron)
Distinctive feature: Her umbrella-spear, which can function as a Pact Weapon
A woman of aristocratic bearing. She comes from an ancient dynasty, a royal house fallen from grace but clinging to its titles.

Vespera was born into a noble family that, centuries ago, had forged a pact with an Archfey, a pact that brought misfortune upon her family. From a young age, she was trained in the arts of diplomacy, political intrigue, and combat. But unbeknownst to her, the pact was cursed: the firstborn of each generation would be born with the essence of the Archfey within. Her family, fearful and ashamed of their own blood, kept her hidden, and as she grew, her dreams were filled with frost, nightmares, and whispers of power.

Hey everyone, thought I’d share this group art I did for a client. Been really enjoying working on these types of shots lately!

Here’s some basic info about the characters in order from left to right, top to bottom:

Azaka Stormfang NPC - weretiger with a lycanthropy curse, holds a wooden mask that is revealed to be a mask of the beast.

Bugbear gloomstalker ranger, level 5 - If expecting combat, he’s embraced brutal intimidation as part of his strategy.

Wood elf druid, level 7 - heavily trained in medicine and healing.

Elf artificer, level 6 - has scars and burning from a canon ball explosion. In charge of a steel defender that resembles a wolf/husky.

Tiefling blood hunter, level 8 - somewhat of a royal ass, clashes with the party.

A graceful Moon Elf known for her quiet confidence, sharp intellect, and mysterious presence. She moves with an almost effortless elegance, carrying the traditions of her people while forging her own path through the world. Adorned with crescent moon jewelry and dressed in refined dark garments, she has an unmistakable connection to the night. Behind her calm expression lies a keen observer who notices far more than she reveals. Whether exploring ancient ruins, uncovering forgotten magic, or navigating dangerous encounters, she remains composed and deliberate. To strangers, she may seem distant and unreadable, but those who earn her trust discover a loyal and capable companion.

Basically the title speaks for itself. Planning to play as a dwarf, looking for a cool ideas
The only thing I came up with is
“Aye, we dwarfs are short ‘cause we have balls of steel that pull us down unlike you”

Share your wits and let them think twice before mocking the dwarfs
