So in my campaign, my son created his own weapon he calls the Titan. In game it’s a combination punching weapon and buckler. (Not a full glove, more like an oblong shield bent at a right angle and added ‘knuckles’).

1d8 bludgeon damage, chance to knock an enemy prone and +1 AC.

The full size version is cardboard, hot glue and paint. It’s his first cardboard project and he knocked (pun intended) out of the park.

Do you think the stats are fair?

Thanks for looking

For several years I chickened out of DMing. I was scared of messing up, not being good at it, not knowing enough, etc. Well, I took the plunge a few months ago and it's been going really well. For context, my group is online and we have camera-on sessions for maximum roleplaying and interaction. Well, as I began to close out the session last night, I looked at the cameras in Discord. To my absolute HORROR, my boyfriend was standing around in the hallway completely naked, fully facing the camera as he closed the linen closet. It apparently never occurred to him that anyone would be able to see him in the hallway. By some miracle I noticed before anyone else and shouted at him to move. My friends' eyes were saved.

The lesson is this: things will inevitably go wrong. But you'll probably be the only one to notice, and you can all have a good laugh about it later!

On The Cover…

In this piece by Nacho Lazaro, the influential devil Hasphermet scries the many layers of Pandemonium, from the Dragon Steppe to the Stygian Sea. Her command over the realm of Dead Tiamat is greater than many, even within the shattered hells themselves, suspect. After all, in a plane of mighty demons and ancient dragons, what can a lowly reborn mortal do? Many things, as it turns out.

The Giveaway!

We've recently released a 90-page sourcebook all about our take on the infernal plane of Pandemonium. This is our take on the realm of chaos, unrelated to that of the Forgotten Realms, but with plenty of fiendish goodness that you can drag-and-drop into *any* hellish setting you fancy.

As is tradition for us at the Codex of Strings, we're doing a giveaway for this amazing community that propelled us from a brutally anonymous writing duo into a small studio full of talented and passionate creatives <3

I started a new campaign with a great DM looking for a classic DnD campaign. The world he has is very deep and interesting with a really interesting map to explore. It was going to be a 1 on 1 game, but we decided to seek out another player to make it a duo. This was a paid game so I am in no real place to dictate terms of the game and I generally get along with any player so I didn’t expect any problems.

Anyways, the player that chose to join the game wants to play a Tiefling from a different campaign. It’s inspired by some anime and definitely does not fit the setting. He plays a child version of this same character in a separate campaign and want to try an adult version in this one. They describe her as a party girl type, she wears sweatpants and sneakers with an oversized sword. The description totally took me out of the game, as it does not match the serious fantasy tone of the world. Also I’m open minded, but something about an adult male playing a female child (even if it is in a different game) gives me a weird feeling.

In fairness to them I did mentioned how I felt to the DM and they said they would not have them be from an alternative universe as initially planned, but I think for me the issue is just that this kind of character is going to ruin the experience for me. I feel bad because the DM and I set up the game and the story behind it and I don’t want that to go to waste. I agreed to let another player join in but I feel I have lost my excitement knowing the only other PC is going for a completely different tone of a game. I will also add that this player has not put much time into the game, and doesn’t feel invested, so i don’t know if they are truly interested in staying for the long haul. I would like to stick it out and see how it goes, but ultimately in a paid game I don’t want to waste anyone’s time, including the other player and the DM who sets everything up for a reasonable price.

Is it fair for me to ask the DM or other player directly to step away or should I be the one to just respectfully leave (which would probably cancel the game anyways as a result)?

Why are little pieces of plastic so expensive? Even the “cheap” knockoffs seem a little ridiculous. Am I the only one thinking this? I’m new to this and looking for some monsters for my kids.

What happens when a ruler’s buried pain becomes a monster her whole island must survive?

We teamed up with Beyond the Screen for The Beast and the Baroness, a dark fantasy 5e adventure from their Book of Spirits. Beyond the Screen wrote the adventure, while Mammoth Factory created the full 3D printable STL miniature collection to bring its spirit realm encounters to life at the table.

In this adventure, the island barony of Arnevoux is under attack by the Beast of Arnevoux. The party is sent to face the threat, uncover the Coray family curse, and travel into the Everlast, the spirit realm of emotions and memories, to discover why Baroness Enora’s suffering has taken monstrous form.

🔥 5 lucky adventurers will win the full PDF + STL bundle, including the complete The Beast and the Baroness 5e adventure and the full Mammoth Factory miniature collection.

Use the Beast of Arnevoux as a massive boss monster on a 75mm base, bring Baroness Enora to the table as a haunted ruler under impossible pressure, and fill your encounters with animar, emotion spirits born from fear, rage, loathing, homesickness, irritation, doubt, and more.

Perfect for haunted islands, cursed castles, spirit realm encounters, supernatural mysteries, tragic boss fights, dark fantasy campaigns, and roleplay-heavy D&D sessions where the monster may be tied to the person your party is trying to save.

If Lady Luck does not favor you this time, you can still grab the collection on Patreon or Tribes for 80% off (July only).

You’re getting the complete The Beast and the Baroness adventure PDF, the full STL collection, unique monsters, NPCs, and everything needed to bring its spirit realm horror to your table.

So, it was our first time actually playing dnd and it was my first time DMing. Essentially, they didn’t like the way I DMed so instead of telling me what’s wrong and having me correct it, they planned to have one of them DM. Which I have zero issue with. Basically, they expected me to flip my lid when they brought it up but I told them it’s ok and that he could DM. After ALL OF THAT. He gave up on DMing because he was “worried what everyone would think” how do you think I felt the entire time!?

Some of the pages on my 5.5e players handbook (specifically 355 and 358) have this weird separation of red and black writing when on other pages the writing doesn't have this 'affect' and it doesn't appear to interact with the black writing. Is this normal?

I don't know how to write four hundred characters worth of description... Sooo because of this colour separation thing it's kinda giving the sprite a chromatic aberration effect that looks cool, the quasit not so much the colour separation is happening to all brown text so the name stats even the size is being seperated from different grays and the box's that house their stats is also being seperated. Not even the page number is safe! It happens in those two pages though and I don't think they have any relation other than they're both stat blocks.

Hey, the changeling is still here! It's her wedding! Don't let the other characters' shenanigans distract you from her story. (This is more a message to myself than to you.)

What's going on here?

• This girl is "Kayra", a changeling made of mud and sticks enchanted to look like the human she had replaced as a baby.
• Changelings are supposed to fade and die after a few weeks, but this one did not, and has been living the real Kayra's human life, and grew up hiding her true nature - even from her own parents.
• Now she's an adult, getting married, and has a complicated relationship with her mother.
• She still hasn't told her fiancé the truth about herself, though not for lack of trying.
• Now there are only a few minutes till she's supposed to walk down the aisle.

Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/existential horror story. It's on Webtoon or https://crookedgoat.ca.
