Exiled from her homelands, Valera used her talents of the blade and magic to locate the lost twin swords Grief and Lament, once wielded by the cruel Empress of Roses. She pledged herself to the cursed blades to become a new Thorn Maiden to smite her enemies and reclaim her birthright.

This is just a small backstory for a hexblade warlock with a grudge. I do have a contrasting, spell-slinging, good two-shoes older sister for her as well who is a lore bard but I won't post her here. Some day I'll play them both as an NPC or as alternating characters in a campaign if I can ever find a decent group online.

EDIT: Thanks for all the praise. To quell some question, yes her stats are just the bare bones standard array. I left the options wide open for her but wanted to simply portray her strengths and weaknesses.

I’m playing an older human wizard (64M) who spent his younger years traveling from town to town dispensing wisdom and telling stories in taverns in exchange for free drinks and small donations. In his time hanging around taverns, he played A LOT of dragon chess. Despite never researching any openings or strategy, he developed a knack for the game through exposure.

The party fighter (human, late 20s) spent time actually studying the game with a wise man from his village. A wise man who, according to our DM, was a Dragon Chess Master. Mechanically, our fighter has a low INT score, but has proficiency in dragon chess. My wizard (we’ve decided) doesn’t know anything beyond the basics, but has a higher INT score.

Anytime our party has some down time, we get the board out and play best of 3 (INT check + mods, highest roll wins.) So far, my Wizard is undefeated. The fighter SWEARS that I’m just getting lucky (which is true) and that he WILL defeat me. We even RP little scenes where the fighter will be like “how did you know to counter my gambit by shutting out my rook?” And my wizard will say something like “Rook? Is that the little horsey? I like that one.”

What’s extra cool about this is that it wasn’t discussed at all before the game, it was completely serendipitous! Turns out, myself and this other player both play chess IRL, and now we’re bonding both IRL AND in the game!

Anyway, It’s a minor point in our campaign that’s brought me a lot of joy. I just thought I would share.

Thanks for reading!

A wide-format poster I collaged from pre-existing 2024 D&D dragon materials. I do not claim ownership of the original illustrations or body text.

I created the poster in Adobe Photoshop, positioning the chromatic and metallic dragons opposing each other. I included sketches around the main subject matter, turning some full-color illustrations into outlined sketches. I then wrote all this crap to achieve the absurd 400+ character minimum description required to post art.

Original illustrations are by Alexander Ostrowski and thank you to u/Xi_rho and their poster for inspiration.

It always bothered me a bit that during our (far too infrequent) DnD sessions, my players had various soda cans sitting on the table while I tried to create as much immersion as possible (lights, music)

But I recently got into CAD and 3D printing, so why not solve this problem?

Whats your solution to snacks and beverages on the DnD table?

Edit: Guys, issa joke, put down your pitch forks

So one of my players does not roleplay at all. He only cares about making his character stronger by gathering powerful items or magic scrolls.

Imagine this: the party goes to a city library searching for clues about what happened in the past that caused the current state of the world. They're investigating, interrogating civilians and criminals, you know, actually playing the game. Meanwhile, this guy wants to search every closet and bookshelf in order to find valuable loot, constantly interrupting other players while they’re roleplaying.

Whenever I make an NPC talk to him or interact with him, he either ignores them or tries to avoid them completely. Yes, I understand that his backstory explains why his character acts that way, but it was getting more annoying with every session.

One day, while they were in the city library, he snuck into the grand librarian’s room hoping to find some “OP items,” but instead he found an ominous-looking book. I described it like this:

“The very existence of the book disturbs you. The closer you get to it, the stronger the feeling becomes.”

Of course, he ignored the warning and opened the book.

He immediately teleported to another dimension where he was greeted by a giant spider almost as big as an adult dragon — except the spider was actually friendly. But he immediately decided the spider was dangerous and attacked it, thinking he could take it down. (He was a level 4 wizard, by the way.)

The spider absolutely obliterated him.

The thing is, he couldn’t die. That dimension simply did not allow death. As the spider filled his body with poison and melted his innards, he could feel everything, but he couldn’t move or speak because the spider had also eaten all four of his limbs. He was just lying there in endless agony while being consumed by a dragon-sized spider.

After a while, the spider left the area, and the rest of the party found a way into the dimension, healed him, and rescued him.

I told him that his character had suffered immense trauma and that he should roleplay accordingly afterward.

And surprisingly… it worked.

His character started bonding more with the rest of the party because they risked themselves to save him, and he actually started roleplaying more.

Am I weird for coming up with something like this?

Meet the mighty Wind Dragon!

The Wind Dragon is another one of the Twelve Elemental Dragons, is perfectly adapted for flight. Every aspect of its body is designed to enhance its mastery of the skies. It has developed feather along with it's scales that smooth airflow and increase speed, while its forelimbs and hind legs have shrunk to reduce drag as its wings have grown immense in size.

The dragon has also evolved a massive gular pouch capable of storing tremendous amounts of air. Using extraordinarily powerful neck muscles, it can inhale and compress air with immense pressure before unleashing it in violent bursts. This ability allows the Wind Dragon to disrupt the airflow around its prey, disorienting and destabilizing them before moving in for the kill.

I used an airbrush for the first time today and although I still have some learning to do, it made painting this guy so much easier and quicker! Still had to use a tiny brush to get the finer details. If anyone has any tips for using an airbrush, let me know. Here is a link to the model if anyone is

u/verraeteros_ asked what people do about sodas etc at the table. While I don't have any rules regarding snacks and immersion, we all had tankards from a renfaire, and I was looking for excuses to learn basic CAD software, so a while back I made this! I included both a hole in the bottom and a sunken ridge on the inside for easy removal.

I'm sure it's been done before, but I'm proud of it anyway, and I use it every session. Looks cool, works well, plus it keeps them from actually getting dirty, so it saves you from having to wash them! (It's just PLA though so if I were to actually pour a drink into the tankard, I'd wash it out first. Mmm microplastics)

Edit: Yes I know their post was tongue-in-cheek but since they got enough comments that they felt the need to clarify that, I guess I'd better do the same lol
