DMing for my family. Two players. I ran them at level 5 so they'd have enough toys to feel powerful: my wife rolled up a Trickery Cleric, and my 8-year-old daughter played a Wild Magic Sorcerer (she picked it entirely because "chaos sounds fun," which, correct).

I ran The Wild Sheep Chase because it opens with a talking sheep and I figured that was the right energy for my kid's game.

It started exactly as goofy as advertised. The half-orc enforcer cornered them for the sheep, and my daughter first tricked him with a Minor Illusion of the sheep running off — then, while he was distracted, she hit him with Suggestion. Her suggestion? That he was her best friend and they should go get lunch so he could tell her everything about the villain. He failed the save, and it turned out this guy had never had a best friend in his life. So she happily took him out for sausages and he spilled every secret his boss had. I was already having a blast.

So then they get down to business.

They snuck into the bad guy's compound and a fight broke out with the guards, who were secretly people polymorphed into apes. My daughter's Fire Bolt helped drop one, and when it died it turned back into a human man on the ground. She went quiet. Then she cried. Real tears. "Omg. I didnt want to kill him i didnt want to roll that good." I wasn't ready for that.

After a break for some hugs. As DM, I decided that the other GuardApe was molified by the real tears for his dead guardsmam. She rolled with advantage to persuade him to stop attacking. "Enough bloodshed" mom said and so did the best friend ex-enforcer.

Then, my wife, without missing a beat, cast Revivify on rhe killed guard. He gasped back to life. My daughter cried again, this time laughing with per joy. She was so happy she thanked her mom. She didnt know mom had that power.

And then the ending. They get to the villain. An apprentice who spent thirty years being bullied by the wizard that's now trapped as the sheep. My daughter rolled a nat 20 to intimidate him... and then immediately felt bad about it, because i pretended to shake and stutter in fear. So...what did she do?. She apologized to him, and offered to protect him from his old master (the sheep) if he'd just stop hurting people. She talked the big bad out of being the big bad. In exchange for an apology from the sheep, he handed over the polymorph wand and walked away. She cried a third time: relief. She said, that "he didn't have to be the bad guy anymore."

Eight years old. Her instinct wasn't to kill the villain. It was to save him. I had to look at my dice for a second so I wouldn't lose it at the table too.

No character died. Everyone got turned back into a person. The insufferable sheep got his thumbs back and turned out to be completely broke. Perfect one-shot.

I know these wholesome posts show up here a lot, but I get it now. Best game I've ever run.

Highly recommend Wild Sheep Chase for new players, and even higher recommend playing with your kid.

I'm working through a couple of designs for a tiefling performer NPC for our campaign!

Evie is a dancer who puts on various acts alongside her overprotective brother, Arson. She's charming, sweet, and personable, in contrast to her sibling, who tends to be moody, abrasive, and has a quick fuse.

The campaign is set in a city inspired by 1910s Paris, so I referenced performers active during this time. The middle outfit was strongly inspired by circus costumes!

Which one do you guys like best?

I'm sorry this one took so long. I had another painting completely finished and ready to go, but the longer I looked at it, I just wasn't happy with it. So I ended up starting over from scratch. And in the end, I'm much happier with how this one turned out.

Tressyms are believed to be the creation of wizard experimentation. They're described as more intelligent than the average house cat, but not quite human level intelligent. This one however, on account of being orange, only gets two brain cells. Still more intelligent than it's orange cat cousins.

If you're enjoying this series, consider following me on Instagram and Tumblr, @tomfoolerytotality. And let me know what monsters I should paint next! I've received a request for an elderly Kenku, and to that person I want you to know I'm working on it. And also I've learned quite a lot about how ravens age thanks to your very specific request.

So I've been at this table for about 6 months now, and I've been having fun and all, maybe a little unpredictable with how often the Deck of Many things comes into play. Just a little thing that bugs me is whenever a character dies, the DM has us make our new characters a level less then the current 'party level'. And I get how this is meant to add impact to character death, and stops people from just spamming random characters down with no regard for if they live or die, but if you die again, the -1 stacks. So if the party is level 5, and you're level 3 for example. It's his game, and he can run it however he wants, I'm fine with that, but in campaigns that are kind of more plot driven then character driven (as in, the characters are just their to do the plot), it's kind of maddening as the player across from me can just do more because of stuff that could be completely up to chance. Like if another player started a brawl and you died as a resault, that's not their fault. Would anyone have any alternative ideas i could possibly suggest so that death is still impactful to a player, but not to the but not to such a detriment to the player and the next characters?

I got body swapped or whatever it is permanently in OSE with a player that rarely shows up and had to swap character sheets with them. I’m the groups leader, 5th level cleric and was just about to get cool spells and now I’m playing a generic warrior with nothing of value except damage rolls. I feel like giving up or quitting, as I’ve been building this character for 7 months just to lose it to a trap. Asking if this has happened to anyone else, and what I should do, as this group will most likely fall apart as soon as I stop showing up but I really don’t have the heart to play anymore after this interaction.

This is Willow, an elven ranger. I drew her in a more cartoonish style because I thought it would be fun, especially since the story of this campaign is pretty comedic.

I’ll also be posting the other characters from the campaign later on, along with the occasional commissioned character whose final design I ended up really liking.

Backstory: A follower of the Green Path, she´s hunting an ancient evil that threatening the balance of the cycle of nature.

So yeah, I want to draw your characters. Just tell me about them and their appearance. If you want to include lore go ahead, I'll read it all (assuming there's not too many people).

I'll probably be drawing about three characters (not in the same day) but I will be following my whimsy so I may draw more.

The image is of a DnD character I've drawn in the past (character owner: Artgretsuko).

Ok now hand them over! (Also I did get mod approval)

I play dnd with a group of my close friends and we’ve been playing for probably close to 6 years now. The thing is we haven’t finished a single campaign and the main reason is the dm gets bored of a campaign or another player gets bored of their character and we restart with a new campaign. We usually end up playing for around 8-12 4-6 hour sessions before we quit which seems to be the time I’ve gotten invested in my character and their goals. I just want to see one of these characters that I care for and am so invested in finish their frickin story. I’ve thought about doing adventurers league just so I know I can play the character from 1 or 5 to 20. What should I do? I still love playing with my friends but I’d like to be able to finish a campaign. I have 6 characters saved on dnd beyond right now from old campaigns that to me were just getting going when their stories ended.
