Here is another commission I received for my drow OC Serelith, imagining a scene inspired by Jabba’s palace in Episode VI. Serelith wears an outfit reminiscent of Princess Leia, standing alongside her allies as they attempt a daring rescue. Their mission is to free a captured friend held prisoner by a ruthless goblin king, blending tension, courage, and style into the moment.

This one was originally requested by -MrJester. Hope they like it! :]

Kind of a late post! I was planning on releasing this earlier but it took me a while because... I MADE A PATREON! ✧｡٩(ˊᗜˋ)و✧*｡

https://www.patreon.com/cw/Poonyk [That's the link!! That's my thing!!]

People were asking me a while ago about tokens and where to find the rest of my SRD Bestiary, so I decided the best way to organize all of that was a patreon where anyone can support and check out this project!

Nothing is changing for these Reddit posts so don't worry, I won't charge people to let me share my art with them lol. But if you want to, you can follow me there and see all of my posts for free, or become a member and get every post in higher resolution, a custom journal entry with lore for each creature, a transparent PNG of every monster and early access for the next one!

In this case, the Werewolf is already done for next week, but if you decide to support me you can check it out right now :] I know its not much in return, but those things are my way of saying thank you for believing in this project.

Even if you're not planning on spending any money, you should check it out! I share a bit more of my process and opinion there, and you can still see every entry of the bestiary for free :]

Anyways, I really liked how this Kobold turned out! He looks so ready for adventure :]

All I have to say is no tf I can't..... they invited a seventh person to the DND group chat w/o my approval. We're all the same friend group so it's hard to say no.

This is only my second adventure DMing and fourth session DMing overall. Also, I'm new to the game, and so is every player. I just have the most proxy experience because I listen to CR and D20... 😭

It's hard for me to get 6 people to stop talking and listen. There are moments where I will end up waiting for the side conversations, players kind of think as soon as their PC is not actively doing something they can just tune out.....

I tried to say no, I can't handle seven people but they don't understand, they insist I can and it'll be fine. However ☝️ I Know the session will end in irritation and frustration for everyone because of how slow we'll be.

No matter what, if I say "you can't come" to any of them I'll be deemed an asshole, I don't know what to do. I suggested splitting us up into two groups, running two separate sessions, so everyone can play but they said no to that. I suggested switching the groups every adventure, meaning maybe 3 or 4 weeks with one group & then the next group, etc, but they said no to this too. I suggested that there be a first-come-first-serve rule, where the first six people to say "yes" on a poll in the group chat get to come but everyone just got mad at me so I didn't follow through with it.

I also kind of thought the weak links would be "weeded out" by now, the ones that don't really care ABT the game, just there for friends, but that hasn't happened.

This is really making me sound like a pushover but I don't want to be an asshole or for people to get mad at me for being exclusive or something.

Next session's tomorrow. How the hell do I keep seven teenager's attentions? 😭😭

EDIT: thank you for all the replies!!! u r all so right about me having to be firm and put my foot down. I think, I will try running the session tomorrow, & when it goes badly (as expected) it will be empirical evidence I can pull out any time someone tries to convince me to go over my limit. Maybe i'll cut the session short and explain that dnd is supposed to be fun, & no ones having fun. I'm gonna set a 6 person maximum after this 100% no exceptions. And also propose that another person DMs if they wanna have more ppl that badly (though, no one wants to DM but me)

maybe during the session i'll say like, the 1st person to interrupt me Leaves....... then they'll all Listen.............

The problem is i really have been loving prepping and making situations for the players to be in, and how I can connect their backstories to a larger campaign, and shaping towns and places for the PCs to use and playing the game & I know players feel the same way. I don't want to stop---but if it gets to a point after this I suppose I will. It feels a bit like giving up. The day when it was 5 people (som1 had a commitment) was incredibly fun, smooth, went rly well....

But yeah, I'll set a 6 person maximum, probably only give the option of PCs switching out between adventures and not worry too much about a larger campaign b/c groups will be alternating. It just seems like the most inclusive but manageable way.

Good lord… my brain is fried… my group of four players just finished a session where the rogue has snuck her way far beyond what I had prepared… the Paladin is soloing a bunch of undead at the city gate and the barbarian and bard are wondering the nearby underground tunnels, basically lost.

And I was stuck transitioning scenes like a movie producer so everyone felt that they got a fair amount of time all session. It was fun, but managing 3 scenes by cycling through them every 5 minutes for 3.5 hours was exhausting lol kudos to my players for finally grasping their autonomy but splitting the party is insane — I want them to get back together (though I’m loving the players agency for now because they were so shy about pushing boundaries)

No, this isn't a super serious discussion.

It's always struck me as a little funny how Sending is restricted by number of words. This inherently carries with it the effect that Sending is going to be better in some languages than others. Languages that use a lot of compound words, prefixes and suffixes are going to be able to convey a lot more info in a Sending.

Naturally this is more about real world languages, but arguably it should affect in-universe languages too. Maybe Elven can convey much more in fewer words than Orcish, or vice versa.

I'd hate to be the god of magic having to count the words of some joker sliding into someone's DMs in the middle of the night to cut them off at 25. Was that one or two words?

(The answer to the title is Finnish.)

This is a continuation of my post about Xxoreo from a few days ago. As said in that post, Xxoreo is a shapeshifter, an Anthereon specifically, where her true form is a dire wolf. Anthereon’s also have access to a hybrid form that looks similar to a werewolf or lycanthrope, but they don’t get lost in bloodlust and are able to control themselves just fine. This drawing is of her hybrid form, which is exclusively used for battle.

A bit of a continuation on the story posted last time:

After she killed him, after she consumed his heart she felt something was different. The magic and power held inside of him was trying to become one with her, but she felt as the magic shackles prevented it, restricted it. Time continued to pass like that as she felt her own steady heart beat begin to merge with another. Then, that day came. Her friends finally came for her, and she was finally freed of her shackles. When they fell to the ground she cried out in pain, she felt the change. Large dark antlers grew out of her head, looking strikingly similar to the antlers of that man. The antlers were like a reminder, she’s changed. And “she” might turn to “we” as she continues to learn more about the man she consumed, about the group he was apart of, and about how she should continue her life now that she was living for two.

So this is a snapshot from my client's nightmare of a session... Basically, the rest of the party is KO’d on the dungeon floor, probably stabilized but useless.

Now it's just this Dwarf Paladin Ekor, face-to-face with a Four-headed Hydra in some forgotten ruin. His only play is just to keep smashing. The hammer doesn't allow him to cut the heads, so his only option is to smash every single head before they regenerate. It's an all-or-nothing, last-stand moment.

I wanted to capture the rage of the character, he screams as he manages to hit the first head, but the fear is high as he still has three to go… Let me know if that emotion shows through!! :))

So i hadn’t slept in 2 days and my brain wasn’t in the game today, so i casted guidance on an attack once in a non combat situation where my party member needed to make an attack, and i accidentally casted bless on a skill check because I buffed two people and one used a skill check instead of an attack or saving throw and still counted it.

like my DM accepted it and didn’t call me out for anything, the other players didn’t mention anything, so did I fuck up? I apologized to my DM anyway because it’s my B as the cleric I should’ve just remembered my spells, but does this count as cheating if no one caught it including me??
