You pry open the heavy earthen door that has been keeping you from the tomb's inner-most sanctum. You are buffeted by a thick cloud of dust that is almost as bad as the stench of fresh corpses that rushes out to greet you. Wait, why would the corpses be fresh? Supposedly none have entered the tomb of the praetors in generations. A shadow moves, defend yourself!

Greetings adventurers! We are excited to announce that the /r/DnD mod team is looking to expand. Moderating a community as robust and complex as ours takes a lot of work, and requires a diversity of thought in its management. Do you think you're up to the task?

We are looking to fill several key gaps in our mod team. We are interested in users who can help with the regex that governs automod, users who can moderate outside of US time zones, users with experience identifying AI content, and users who can advocate for communities that are under-represented on /r/DnD. That being said, ALL INTERESTED PARTIES are encouraged to apply! We need mods who are willing to just do the monotonous busy work of moderating, which is most of the work.

Do you think you would be a good fit for our mod team? Apply today! If you have any questions please let us know in the comments.

2026 /r/DnD Mod Recruitment Form

The application will stay open for at least 1 week, though we may keep it open longer. After applications close we will work to review and reach out to those selected within a week, and then make a public announcement after onboarding.

With the final nothic slain, you are finally able to take in your surroundings. Piles of bodies, some of whom you recognize as the missing clergy, are in various states of decay. You doubt the bishop of Tyr is going to be willing to hand over that bonus now...

Mr. Fool, whose real name is Isaac Wheeze, is a changeling bard of the College of Glamour who was working as a royal jester for the kingdom at the beginning of the story. The reason he left that life behind is because when he originally joined the campaign (session 3), the other players were framed for a terrorist attack that was definitely not their fault. Sadly for Isaac, because the plot demanded it and he was actually in the room where it happened, he got framed too.

One highlight of Mr. Fool's personality is that his emotions are tied to the mask he is currently wearing (I had a d3 I would roll for happy, sad, and angry), causing him to be disturbingly happy when encountering horrible stuff, a crybaby on supposedly happy stuff, and extremely angry at the simplest things. Of course, I could change the mask at will if the moment needed it, and the randomness was kept mostly for comedy.

Volketh Ulgardt

Solel. Necromancer

I wanted to write more on his story, but don't have the time at the moment, here's a blurb, outlining what I wanted the scene to be

The night before, Volketh had been dragged from his home for calling his parents back from the dead. He had just wished to see them again. Perhaps hear them. The mob beat him until a crude undead construct he had made saved him from certain death. He had no choice. He looked around him with a mix of fear and anguish which slowly turned to disdain. He then raised his attackers to fight once more, in his stead. Any who remained, now hunted him.

Hey all, I’m on Roll20’s Dungeon Scrawl team (our mapmaking software), and we just released a free tool that solves a problem for anyone looking to share maps to a screen (whether it’s on the wall or your table) without spending money on a projector.

It’s called Send to Tabletop, and it opens a clean, live view of your map in a new browser window and helps you cast to an external display. Here’s how it works:

• connect your external display via HDMI and set to Extended (not Mirrored)
• in Dungeon Scrawl, select your display from the dropdown and enter its dimensions
• click Send to Tabletop and drag the new window to your external display if it doesn’t appear there automatically
• click the center of the window to enter full screen

That’s it! Plus, you can control what your players see using the Fog of War layer to hide and reveal parts of the map.

If you want to see more, here’s a link to an article that has:

• demo videos
• additional instructions for wireless connection methods

Hope this helps bring maps to your games more easily!
Let us know if you have any questions or suggestions for future updates.

TLDR for those who don’t like walls of text: People use cellphones during games and activities and pay less attention. They say it’s for their own mental health. I can’t fathom that, and feel it may be more of a situation where a drug addict says they are better at doing things while High on drugs. Should I even be annoyed?

I am struggling with an interpersonal concern at my current D&D table.

I joined this group part way into their campaign and would say I am very good friends with 1 person at the table, the rest I know from playing D&D with them for over a year, they are all friends outside of D&D with each other.

One person is on their phone, constantly through the entire game, TikTok, endlessly scrolling nearly never taking a break, with a single earbud in. They are paying about 50% attention to the game, they don’t always need to be reminded it’s their turn, though probably 2-3 times a session they need a prod that they should be involved. They are a shy-er role-player so they don’t engage as much as others do at the table, but they seem to be fine with that. They don’t love the spotlight, and at times (1 time per 4 hour session), they will take it and put down the phone.

When I spoke to them about their phone usage, they informed me that it helps them concentrate, they have ADHD (or some other similar diagnosis), and this helps keep them at the table and focused. Without it they would be unable to even play a long game like D&D.

I feel that this is hard since with D&D and other games, people can have different goals while playing. Our DM’s goal is an excuse to see all of his friends at a single time, and D&D lets that happen. He puts in much less effort than I do when I DM, but I understand this is more of a social experience than a game with involved plots or stories. I can accept that we just play for different reasons, as I want more drama and action in my D&D and when I DM again in the future, I will foster that. Different strokes and DM styles are great. It hurts at times, but I understand this and think it’s good for the game.

But being inattentive as a player (the phone user) doesn’t feel like a different style to me. It feels selfish, and unrespectful. The rest of the group doesn’t seem to care, and are all younger then me by about 10 years or so, and are close friends to the person being referred to. So I have kind of sucked it up as OK D&D is better than NO D&D.

Surprisingly this exact same issue also occurs at my weekly board game night with another couple. During board games he needs prompting CONSTANTLY, so I did speak to him about it, as it was really bad some weeks. I’m not opposed to talking to your friends about stuff like this, as all advise I usually give for this subreadit breaks down to, just talk to them.

He explained to me his inability to focus on a board game, and truly doesn’t love board games much. He’s not against them, but he shows up because his wife loves them, and he loves his wife. He also reports he’s better with the music and TikToks playing as the extra stimulation keeps him in his chair, and without it he would be unable to even come to board game days, which he doesn’t want to occur as he likes participating in activities with his wife.
It feels bad because I commend this, and believe this to be a good thing for his relationship with her, but FUCK, am I the crazy one? Is this a new reality where people need to not focus on a single activity or hobby, cause that hurts me in ways I can’t 100% figure out yet. I just feel kinda sad for them, but I’m an adult and can suck it up, but it still feels really bad to me.

Am I just putting off too much Boomer energy (I am not actually old enough to be a boomer) into the situation?

Is this something that I need to just see as a cultural divide between us?

Is this truly a positive, as I am dealing with more mature people in the younger generation who are taking care of their own needs, and if they didn’t it would actually cause a larger issue?

Is this just Brain Rot? Are they a junkie unable to quit the dopamine rush even for their friends?

Is this just 2 people who have conflicting goals? I want attention and interaction, and they just want to relax after work with a beer.

TW: severed heads, blood!!

Grim (mot the real name of course), my human fighter, in his previous life - fisherman’s son, now a weapon in hands of a cult. He forgot what it means to be merciful, if he ever had known how. He was supposed to die in a battle that was choreographed to take him down, yet he survived by sheer miracle or stubbornness, snd his body was found by a member of a cult. Years after he sought out the cult, becoming a loyal asset and its righteous blade. He is very cool to play as, he has so much aura

I don’t play D&D (yet), but I love how creative the characters and worlds are, so I started illustrating them. This is a Kitsune Paladin I illustrated for someone else’s OC! I’m trying to get more into the D&D community because the worldbuilding and lore people come up with is genuinely inspiring . I especially like the anamorphic, humanoid type characters . Idk why, but I’m drawn to them lol .Do you ever illustrate the characters in your campaigns? How do you decide what oath, deity, or backstory you give them?
