I was recently requested to paint this character for a player. I was given thorough descriptions for his traits and appearance, but with some room for interpretation when it comes to the look of his outfit. There were plenty of references and examples provided for his attire, however it was up to me to use what I thought would work best in order to really suggest his overall personality and vibe. Below is a brief synopsis of his backstory:

Steele Woods is a Warforged crafted by his two high elf mothers who lead a massive mega corporation, Crystal Woods MegaCorp. Their product and influence are EVERYWHERE. He was made to be the perfect heir and was raised as such. This made him extremely arrogant and haughty. He genuinely views himself as perfect and has never felt failure. When he is not bragging about how much better he is than you, he is looking down his nose at you with very thinly veiled disgust.

All the firstborn sons of House Valinor have inherited the complaining Hamarahain. Hamarahain acts as a simple sword. However, it contains within it, imprisoned by August Valinor, an ancient entity that grants visions and precise advice for every situation to its wielder.

Its current wielder, Tabor Valinor, hasn't been as lucky as his predecessors. All he receives are countless complaints about how he squanders the family fortune, his decisions, and the outfits of his companions.

Although Hamarahain can be a real pain, over the years Tabor has come to find a true friend in his sword. At least it lets him sleep peacefully at night.

What do you think of its design, and what fashion advice would you ask the fabulous Hamarahain for?

Meet Jimothy. He’s a Seattle cryptid, a local legend, and he’s currently hoarding a very specific, iconic bag of late-night burgers. I put this together using the D&D 2024 rules layout, using the giant weasel as a starting point. I gave him a ridiculous 30 Charisma and some legendary actions to keep combat suitably chaotic. Perfect if your party needs a whimsical, mildly aggressive trash gremlin to befriend, defend, or attempt to apprehend.

Drew an aboleth NPC that exists in my ongoing DnD campaign. Their name is Vooltaun and they're actually an ally to the party.

While Vooltaun isn't exactly kind, they see usefulness in the party. They also know that they couldn't beat the party in a fight and that attempting to psionically enthrall any of them would anger them. So since they all hate the BBEG, Vooltaun has decided to simply aid them where they can.

They can be distinguished from other aboleths by the broken spines on their face and the giant electrical scar on their side.

I referenced a spectacular aboleth redesign done by rema-rin on Tumblr. I absolutely ADORE the redesign to the point that it's what my brain defaults to when I think of aboleths now! Highly recommend looking it up!

A castle serves as a place of refuge, a silent guardian that protects those within.

Unfortunately, this castle is neither silent nor safe. It is secretly a beast that lures wanderers closer towards it. The travelers find that the castle is open and there is no one in sight. As they cross the bridge and make it inside, the gates slam shut and the creature transforms into its grotesque form. Behold, the Castle Mimic!

Welcome to yet another map in my Mimic series. So far, I've made a Mimic Ship, Mimic Mansion, and Mimic Cathedral. This fifth map, the Castle Mimic, is another nightmare that will give your players trust issues.

This map pack features Transformed, Summer, Winter, Fog, Haunted, and Night variants. Foundry VTT modules with pre-built walls and lighting are available to patrons.

Download the map for free here.

This is my character her name is Ingrid Briarheart, she's an Elven Barbarian coming from a far northern village. She follows the Path of the Ancestral Guardian. Some backstory on her culture goes:

The life of any young elf from up in the north stands before a challenge at their 26th birthday.

- The blood voyage

Or

- The lonely night

Either the young elf ventures out to the world and does not come home without memoralia of six truly worthy foes slain and carved-in-hide stories to tell and show (from this hide with the stories of your victories will once be made the door to your cottage)

Or they venture into the Arctic night and only come back once the Arctic lights burn in their eyes (full casters of your community do that).

You have decided the blood voyage and so you have sworn an oath to slay the most worthy to fall through your blade.

But this is not a venture alone. It is the priests and images and wizards and druids that have to see the darkness one on one. The blood voyage is as much a test of strength, as it is a test of your ability to make friends and fight together. Only a fool would spend time with one whoms hide shows only them - for they are not to be trusted. So, your first challenge will be to make friends. To be a hero with the, will be your second challenge.

Ingrid carves the stories into the handle of her great axe, allowing her to prove and remember the greatest moments of both strength and even defeat.

I feel like I criticize myself too much, but I made combat easier than I wanted to for you my players and it was too easy for them. They barely got touched. My players seemed to enjoy the session and I try to convince myself that that’s the only thing that matters, but I can only focus on what I’m doing wrong

So there's this player in our campaign who roleplayed sexual harassment on a NPC for no reason. It's the start of our campaign and all of us are pretty new. Some players only played 1-2 campaigns and 2 of us including me have played none and this was our first experience our DM was leading his first campaign too. Right off the bat we started in a tavern where all of us were drinking and some were flat out drunk. When it was his turn to get some lines in he immediately went to the table of npcs full of women and went

"hey can we fight if I win you give me a blowjob" he said more but it was similar to that

and the dm was obviously uncomfortable with what he said so he described the npcs bestfriend being mad and trying to get him away from the table but he doubled down and said "you're not part of this conversation if you want a blowjob beat me in a fight" to the best friend. The dm had to get another npc who worked at the tavern to kick him out but he once again doubled down and said "I'm a paying customer and I am not leaving until someone beats me in a fight" the dm had to roll charisma which thankfully landed low enough that he was kicked out

I'm pretty new to dnd and this was my first campaign we're all just a gaggle of teens trying to have fun. I was wondering if that's an okay thing to roleplay? No one really said anything against him. It weirded me out a little because it added nothing to the story except make a few people weirded out and if he was trying to make a comedic scene theres other ways to do it 🤷‍♀️

I had the group (all lvl 2) rescuing people from a damaged tavern that was close to collapsing.
Each 'turn' they did one action and rolled a skill check to affect the situation in someway; e.g. locating or rescuing patrons, after which they each rolled a D12 and if any rolled a 1 they had to immediately roll a D10.
And this continued, going down a die 'peg' on each '1' until they got to a D4; where a 1 on the D4 would mean the building collapses.
Describing how the damage worsens and the they went down the dice really got them worried by the end!
So, if you want to impose a time limit but don't want to use a real-time timer or 'Shit happens in X turns' - I highly recommend that

I don’t usually do character art, which probably shows, but he’s important enough that I feel the players should know fully how he looks. An evil king for the tyrannical government the setting is under. The eel familiar beside him is his patron, granting him and those under him in power, electricity magic in order to bolster her strength as a fledgling god of ambition and electricity, as the world progresses forward in its use of it. The king is named Larir II, and the eel goddess is Gullifor, named after eel’s scientific order.
