I wanted a character that became so powerful that their own body became pure energy, without the need to eat, sleep or any inconvenient human traits. But it was too much and now he cannot control it and devastation follows in his wake.

It originated from the desire to draw a cool character with a big wizard hat, and it snowballed from there.

For Renfaire last year (and a convention this year), I made a mimic inspired corset for my costume! This was made entirely from scratch out of worbla, some foam clay, and resin. It took maybe a little over a month to construct. I loved the idea of taking a classic DND monster and creating it into a piece of wearable art. I also thought this could be cool for an in-game character or NPC - something players would least expect! ;)

In my search for a digitally-fillable DnD 5.5e sheet, but in dark mode, I found this post, in which the OP was able to make a dark 5.5e sheet, but it was not digitally-fillable as a PDF. So, I decided to use the sheet as basis and make it to be. All credits for the actual dark mode sheet goes for the OP of said post.

If you use some browsers, like Firefox, to fill it, the check inside the checkboxes might be dark colored, making it hard to see, so I recommend trying other browsers or using a PDF reader tool of your choice.

Anyway, here's the sheet.

I’ve been playing in a campaign lately where it as agreed upon, by all participants, that PvP would not be allowed and that this would cast a wide net. We didn’t go into specifics, but generally - anything that would create lasting animosity between different members of the party was banned.

In our fourth session, a Rogue character was awake when the rest of the party was asleep and was snooping around camp. It didn’t take them long before they roleplayed getting into my part of the camp and declared their intention to try to “borrow” my Paladin’s holy symbol to “see what the fuss was about.”

The DM did not react to this at all. My Paladin was an Elf, and in their Trance - and therefore not actually asleep. Upon me asking the Rogue player if their little intention was a joke or not, they confirmed that it was not. I gestured to the DM, saying that this really shouldn’t fly and the DM just shrugged and smiled awkwardly.

I then proceeded to mention to the Rogue that my Paladin was not in fact asleep, and if their holy symbol was stolen, they would not hesitate to cleave the Rogue in two. Without skipping a beat, the DM asked the Rogue to make a Sleight of Hand check. I interrupted by saying that, again, unless the DM wanted a dead Rogue, no rolls should be made and that this was the exact kind of thing that we agreed should not be happening at the table. The DM proceeded to start saying that this would be within their realm of acceptable, and I cut them off by stating that it’s not within mine. The roll doesn’t happen. Or the Rogue is dead.

The rest of the party leans into my side, but I wanted a wider perspective since it seems insane that we’re even having that conversation.

Thanks.

So we're all level 5. Our party is a druid (me), an assassin, a paladin, a barbarian, a ranger and a wizard. To evacuate a city, we had to handle a group of 10 bandits (that the DM told us were pretty weak for level 5 adventurers) blocking the way to the last boats.

I was first in initiative, paladin second, so I play my turn and go to the bathroom figuring out there's no way I'll miss a lot considering there's 5 players and 10 NPCs left to play in that turn alone.

When I come back, it goes like this.

DM: Just in time for the new turn.
Me: So, what did I miss ?
DM: Paladin died and his body is drowning.
Me: HE WAS FULL HP. I LEFT FOR THREE MINUTES.

So if I gathered what happened correctly, while I was away, paladin thought it was a brilliant idea to block the way so him and only him could be targeted by the bandits, and eight of them rolled amazingly both attack and damage rolls, to the shocked eyes of everyone including DMs.

So here I am, the only character with revive potential in Revivify, my 13 strength ass having to figure out a way to revive the paladin by touch that wouldn't involve him drowning and dying again because he's in full plate armor, all in one minute while the group still has to contend with the enemies in limited numbers, just because he thought it was an amazing idea to tank 10 people at once. I'm starting to think I should charge them with for heals lol. So many times they'll jump in the dumbest situations reasoning "it's okay, druid will heal us !"

Alexi Jeratin, The Metal Transhumeral.

Wanted to share a full body art my DM commissioned me to make. Alexi is an NPC in our current campaign whose adventurer party is allied with our PC characters.

He’s been fun to make and it’s wonderful finally having an official reference point to visualise a constantly recurring NPC that we have fought with on numerous occasions.

Did take a while though, the design process was rough (especially the arm) but thankfully my DM worked with me throughout it all.

(This idea is stolen from Matt Colville)

Yesterday, my 9 year old son and I had just finished a session (just the two of us, Lost Mines, his first ever d&d game) and we were just chatting about abilities his character would get at higher levels. He was calculating his max sneak attack damage at 20th level and I added that he would have better magic items by that point. His face lit up and went to my bookshelf and asked if I had a book of the best magic items and *where they are found*.

My son has more experience with video games than ttrpgs and his question is par for the course regarding video games. Of course, in ttrpgs magic items are wherever the DM says they are and whatever the DM says they are. I kinda didn’t want to make this explicit to avoid him just asking for ‘the best magic items’ all the time but it did remind me of a point Matt Colville made in one of his YouTube videos: players love magic items, so why not use that enthusiasm to drive the story? If the Unbreakable Sword of Klavidar is in a mad necromancer’s tower why not make sure the players know this? (And put it in the hands of his favourite skeletal minion).

Now, I’ve done this before occasionally with BIG magic items but rarely. I know wonder if, instead of the magic item shop that players often request there might be a sage specialising in lost relics in the local big city, remote mystical cave, or soul-trapped in a magical gem. This way the DM can build excitement about items the players would have got anyway and also get ideas for what players want in-world rather than simply asking for a wish-list.

I told my son in ttrpgs there isn’t a book telling you where the best items are, you have to look for them, ask about them and, uh, be worthy of them. (He’s 9 though, I think he still just wanted the book…)

Somthing I like to do for funsies is make houses and sigils for my dnd campaign. Some of these are actually importent and others are probably never getting mentioned. (And yes I know house Cerwyn is from ASOIAF I had to make bio a house on the spot and I panicked, some are inspired by other ASOIAF houses but as far as I know the rest are all mostly original.

House Vaelor: the sun kings of Trahaus

House Cerwyn: lords of heartstone and protesters of the border.

House Tayne: militaristic, known for producing strong cavalrymen

House Oswell: once a proud house who ruled all of long lake

House Whent: best bakers in the land

House Marlyn: lords of the largest eastern port in the kingdom.

House Hare: founded by Harlen the Huntsman in the great age

House Coswell: split from house Oswell a long time ago, owns a strong castle on the riverbank

House Braxen: founded by the 4th son of a Coswell, legend says he founded the house after beating the king in a horse race.

House Midthrey: scholars of the arcane

House Mayfor: legendary falconers

House Sallas: owns no lands but serves as stewards to the king.

House Donnel: legend says Darrath Donne could cut a flea in half

House Faywen: protecters of a god long forgotten by most

House Buckthrone: the bull king of old rode into battle on a 14-foot beast, now the lord of the bulls rides a horse.
