i just killed little Timmy.

Little Timmy was a kid whom my party met at around level 4 (now level 15) and dreamed of being an adventurer like them. he looked up to them as heroes and even saved them from death a couple of times (even though the party doesn’t know)

the party absolutely LOVED Timmy to the point where they would spend entire sessions protecting him from anything.

Little Timmy was obsessed with birds and flying creatures to the point where he held the belief that if he proved himself to the gods as worthy they would give him wings to fly and be happy. Little Timmy would constantly tell the party how, when his wings grow, he will be strong enough to help them smile and fly with him too.

then an ambush happened and little Timmy got shot by an arrow straight to the heart, it was a crit and Timmy didn’t make it.

as my party absolutely annihilated all the enemies in a rage, little Timmy started to fade. then my group rushed to him and they tried everything they could to revive him. the cleric failed his throws and no one else knew healing or had any potions.

as little Timmy started to lose consciousness I started to play “Let Down” by Radiohead in the background and before Timmy fully died, he said his last words. “Guys… guys… cant you see them? my wings are starting to grow…” just when the chorus happened.

I think my friends hate me now.

Very key fact i forgot to mention that makes ts sadder: i asked the cleric to roll perception/ investigation and he got a 20. to that player… i told them they could actually see a small white glowing feather coming out of Timmys back (this player has met and actively talks with the gods of my campaign)

Excerpt from the article:

The workers behind Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering (Studio X) have announced they are unionizing as part of United Wizards of the Coast-CWA. According to the worker’s statement, “We have achieved a public supermajority of employees committed to our cause and are offering the opportunity for Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) and Hasbro to demonstrate their stated values by voluntarily recognizing our union.” They join the team on Magic the Gathering: Arena at the same union.

The teams have filed an election petition with the National Labor Relations Board to safeguard their right to vote on a union, but have said that if WotC agrees to voluntarily recognize the union by Tuesday, October 13 — one week from this announcement — they will withdraw the notice. Considering the past response and Wizards of the Coasts’ previous ties to anti-union companies, such as the legal firm of Fisher Phillips and the Pinkertons, it’s doubtful that they will choose to honor the requests of the workers.

Howdy friends, Ive returned once more with some more character art. This time its of Clover and her draconic family. On the left is her older brother Mordri, on the right is her sister Magni and in the center is her more Fallineir. I was so excited to get this peice done as its just one part of a larger set. (wasnt able to put all of them into this post). But yeah, id love to hear what everyone thinks. Im open to any and all questions.

Today, the workers behind Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Duel Masters, and more are coming together to unionize as part of United Wizards of the Coast - CWA!

This morning, the Dungeons & Dragons team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work.

We’re proud to follow in the footsteps of MTG Arena’s own union and have worked with them in preparation for today. Now, we get to share it with you all!

Curious how you can help? We ask that you sign our petition for Wizards to voluntarily recognize our union. The support for MTG Arena’s union was key to their victory, and we hope that you show the same support for us.

You can learn more about our mission on our website. Sign our petition, share it with your communities, and keep an eye on this account for future updates.

Note: So, I have reworked Voyage so many times in the last 5 years, it's almost funny how different she was when I first designed her. This re-design is just the latest and it will not be the last.
For this iteration, I took her out of the high fantasy environment and put her in some early 20th century fashion. I also reworked some flavor text with how her magic works so keep that in mind for the following blurb. (I'm a big fan of magic syntax 😄)

Voyage Hunt: A Tiefling residing in the city of Thorm. She is a somewhat notable thief who specializes in Rune Craft & illusion magic.
No one from The Order Directory knows how long Voyage has been an active player in the criminal underground but they gauge somewhere around 2 or 3 years. One of the reasons for this estimation is her very adept skill to assume new identities. Although being a Tiefling would raise more than a few eyebrows in certain areas of Throm, Voyage utilizes an ability to cast a near perfect glamour to disguise her presence. Only those trained in the art would be able to see through it, making it a very useful to fool the general masses.
At the same time, she shows an understanding of the magical art of Runecraft; A magical practice stringing carved runes made from Lumen Ore to achieve different effects.

When stealth and deception fail, Voyage has several prepped spells for either a fight or more subversion to make a quick escape. Very rarely does she end up fighting. However, when she does, the amount of property damage can make even a war mage blush.
Despite her skills, she was eventually captured by The Order and was sentenced to death by hanging. Vanar, a paladin of Mara, opted to give her a way to redeem herself in the eyes of the law by offering a contract, in service to The Order and their goddess. Voyage, perhaps on a whim, accepted and works closely with Vanar to solve cases ranging from magical mysteries to homicides. She considers herself more of a consultant, rather than a former criminal on a very short leash.

Second Note: This brief character description was for the comic I was working on for personal reasons. Currently the only audience for it are the players in the campaign + a few friends. Not sure if I will ever post it online for people to read but maybe I will once it's out of the cruddy sketch phase.

We just started a new campaign, and I rolled up a thief rogue. I saw that we were playing with gritty realism, and thought finally I could do a character idea I've been sitting on for long, mostly due to always being the DM: heavy hitter weapons expert. We had fun doing fluff for a few hours, character interactions, we pretended to be a couple and their kid to get a discount at the restaurant, it was all fun. Then a short combat, objective based, we kidnapped someone, then let them go after an interrogation.

Then came the post game talk. We always offer feedback on everything, so we can have more fun than before. A player tried to tell me about some shitty homebrew he came up with, I say that because his original goal was to "fix" the martial caster divide, which this failed to do completely. I won't go into details, it was all cool ideas, just not at all what he meant to do. I explain how this would buff casters equally compared to martials, I pull up one of my caster character sheets, tell him what changes this would warrant me to make, etc etc.

"Well you're an optimizer, of course you'd do that"

This was the general sentiment. I don't remember their exact words. They called me an optimizer, insinuating that wanting a capable character is bad. These are the same people that rolled their eyes when I told them I'm building into true strike on my rogue for a couple extra damage dice down the line, the same people that looked at me like I called them names when I explained that ideally a rogue can somewhat safely sneak attack twice per round to attempt to keep up with the damage of other martials. These people know fuck all about the game, one shows up to half the sessions late, unprepared and having to fix their spell list, called rogues "obviously broken" unironically when we played a high level oneshot and I was a rogue and dared deal more damage than the warlock who refused to do anything other than FUCKING eldritch blast because "heeheehoohoo warlock go pew pew" and now tell me that they don't want to play with an optimizer.

I'm not playing an optimized character right now. For one I'm a martial. They've never seen me play an armor dipped wizard with a magic initiate feat and a hyper optimized spell list so they have no frame of reference. What annoys me to no end is that they legitimately don't realise basic concepts like "hey if I have 3 5th level spell slots per short rest maybe I should use at least 1 per combat, most likely in the first turn I get instead of just spamming my basic attack" and call me an "optimizer" when I suggest splitting up and getting behind cover against a dragon.

For the next session, I'm bringing a new character. Hal Fling is a halfling with the tough feat, a 4th level champion fighter with a +2 to dex as their only ASI, who has a sword and shield, does 1 attack per round, never uses "stupid and broken" (actual quote) tools like the dreaded caltrops, and just like them, won't understand the point of surprising the enemy, getting behind cover, or daring to spend short rest resources on the only combat of the day. They will also spend all their downtime staring at the wall.

Thank you for reading, I've been needing to vent.

Edit: I'm fucking crying now I don't even know why, I genuinely have a problem I think I don't know what to do. I can't step away from the table, I live with some of these people, they're all my friends. Why can't this just fucking work? I can't do anything else in my freetime, I've been unable to for months now. Why can't this fixation just end already? Who do I even go to for help with this?

After making so many DnD characters for clients she is the first one I ever actually made for myself~

I rarely see Harengons and I liked to have a bunny persona so I'm loving the race.

She is a bard, carrying around a cello as her main weapon which she had customized with neon and punk colors.

She has a laid back personality, has two tattoos that she first got as her coming of age prize, 21 year old and hates it when the party gets horny over dungeon DILFs but she secretly likes it.

Can't help but notice in every /r/lfg group I join and every podcast I've seen, they have the air of "We do things a little differently around here."

And I'm not saying it's bad, to be clear. Just that I am now genuinely surprised when I see someone say "Yeah these are just orcs who want to kill you so they can be rewarded in their afterlife by Gruumsh" "This church is actually just a group of nice people who worship a good god" etc etc

Idk, maybe I'm crazy, but I just feel like I'm seeing more people subverting tropes than I see the actual tropes in that now the subversion has become the trope.

I’ve been working on the concept for this portrait for a while, and I’ve finally finished it! She is a Tiefling character with a dark past, but I haven't settled on a definitive name for her yet. I’d love to hear your suggestions and ideas in the comments.

She survived in the shadows as a ruthless thief. The tattoos on her neck and shoulders are marks of the underworld, earned through dangerous contracts with clandestine criminal guilds.

When a high-stakes heist went horribly wrong and a massive bounty was placed on her head, she devised a desperate cover story: infiltrating a secret order of holy knights while clad in heavy steel plate armor.
