Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

We actually had our next session yesterday night, so here is what happened:

​As soon as the session started, my character immediately turned around and attacked the Wizard.

​The rest of the table completely froze. They had no idea whether to step in, help me beat him down, or just let it happen. The Wizard actually didn't fight back—he spent a few rounds just trying to dodge and practically begging the rest of the party to intervene and save him.

​While we were in the middle of this internal mess, the noise from the previous fight and our current brawl ended up pulling more enemies right on top of us.

​Total chaos broke out. In the middle of the scramble, the Wizard just casts Invisibility on himself and runs away, leaving the rest of us to deal with the ambush. We were already low on resources from the earlier fight, and we ended up losing another PC in the encounter. The rest of us managed to grab the body and barely escaped down into the sewers.

​Right now, only three of us are left alive. We managed to get Gentle Repose on the teammate who died during the escape, so we might actually be able to bring them back once we get our hands on some diamonds. The two who died from the fireball earlier are permanently dead, though.

​As for the Wizard, he’s just completely gone. We have no idea if the DM is going to turn him into an NPC villain and have the player roll a new PC, or what the plan is there. For now, we're just hiding out in the sewers trying to figure out what to do next.

​Thanks to everyone who gave advice and chimed in on the previous post! Despite all the character deaths and in-game drama, out of game the group is actually handling everything really well and having a great time with the chaos and the story unfolding from it.

Howdy folks!

Long time no see eh?

So, quick update in case you haven't kept up (how dare you not have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with your fave dnd webcomic creator, do you even love me?): I've been MIA from most of my platforms now for over 100 days due to my son being born on the 1st of May and I've been on holiday/parental leave since!

Now, I'm back!

Some stuff is happening now:

On Monday August 24th, the Grogna and Trevor plushies will have a joint drop over on Makeship, LINK HERE! I wanted to get both out this year (partly as there was no plushie last year) and I thought it would fit nicely for the party's power couple to go out swinging together, plus if you buy both you get 10% off :P Though I've not had that CONFIRMED confirmed, my Makeship contact has said it should work and she's REQUESTED it but I haven't gotten a solid confirmation, so lets see!

Also coming soon is the first ever Weekly Roll 75mm statue, both as a physical statue and as a STL file! So stay tuned for that!

Also, a new change is that should you wish to read ahead, you will still be able to do so by watching an ad on Webtoon BUT if you become a patron over on Patreon, you can read TWO weeks ahead! Crazy!

That's it for now!

Stay excellent out there! Peace and carrots

My D&D comics: Sellswords & Sorcery The Weekly Roll The Pos'Thal Chronicles

My 40k fancomic Rogue's Retinue: Rogue's Retinue

Notice I didn't say "fix." Also, I'm combining a few elements from different editions, but I think we should mostly be able to follow what I'm saying.

For those who never played 2nd ed, one thing it did get right was the idea that some spells took longer to cast than others. Each spell had a casting time that was basically an initiative modifier. For example fireball had a casting time of 3 meaning there was a short part of the round (a much larger time back then when a round was just 1-10) where an unarmored target was wildly gesticulating and loudly chanting in a weird language while unable to perform other actions without interrupting themselves. Give martials and baddies a chance to interrupt that casting by forcing a concentration check during the casting. Casters would have to be be more strategic and enemies would have a chance to prepare (dive for cover for example).

My first character was a Human Swashbuckling Rogue teaming up with an Orc Champion fighter, a Halfling Assassin and an Elven Wizard as my companions.

I've never used a Vampire so I imagined their Charm effect as something that could be used in combat to mess with a party of outside of combat to obtain disposable thralls. But after reading it I realised it's actually hugely powerful beyond that.

I notice that the Vampire's Charm effect lacks basically every restriction any other Charm effect would have. It does not have a limited number of uses, nor does it allow a creature to become immune if they succeed against it. It also doesn't limit the number of people who can be Charmed.

So once a target has been initially Charmed the Vampire can just lead them back to their base and keep using Charm on them before the duration of the previous effect wears off, if they succeed they just target them again, there is no time crunch at all and the vampire could basically staff an entire castle with thralls eventually with little chance of losing them outside of adventurous interference. And keeping them enslaved would only require a few minute long ritual each day.

>Charm. The vampire targets one humanoid it can see within 30 ft. of it. If the target can see the vampire, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or be charmed by the vampire. The charmed target regards the vampire as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected. Although the target isn't under the vampire's control, it takes the vampire's requests or actions in the most favorable way it can, and it is a willing target for the vampire's bit attack. Each time the vampire or the vampire's companions do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise, the effect lasts 24 hours or until the vampire is destroyed, is on a different plane of existence than the target, or takes a bonus action to end the effect.

My phantom rouge Tiefling from a campaign I'm currently playing in. Her family owns a morgue she'll eventually inherit and she is haunted by dead relatives who mostly show up at night or in dreams. The campaign she's in doesn't focus on or use the characters backstory. It was supposed to be a one shot originally, but I'd like to think that her family bloodline is cursed to remain in limbo if they die from a medically unnatural cause of death, hence why she can see dead family members. She tends to be impulsive, a little too over confident in her abilities, and likes playing the occasional prank on people. She loves collecting bones, padlocks, and likes to make both jewelry and coffins in her free time. The latter is to keep the skills fresh for when she inherits the morgue. Her shadow is also sentient, and is unfortunately, infinitely more mischievous than Dee.

It took so long to get to the rendering. Between juggling personal projects, class work, and Dee fatigue from working and looking at her too long, I finally finished her portrait not too long ago. I hope I can do a full body render and make a few more outfits for her in the near future too.

In a few days its my aunt birthday and because she is the one who originally showed/taught me this wonderful game and loves to paint I decided to make her a picture frame mimic because she is always short on picture frames anyways.

Dimensions of the frame: 20×25cm

Teeth were bought

Gum+Tounge are made with Plaster

I would like to here some suggestions what i could improve if I make another one sometime

In the video my player casts fireball on a wooded ship. You can see the outcome as I am using knock off camera glasses to record my perspective during the campaign. It’s something I’m going to do more of. Various role playing to battles and all the fun stuff in between. I’m working on my mic setup a bit better but so far it’s worked well. Hopefully you can see how easily I am able to see over the screen while manipulating the game props and playing the game with my friends. If you have any questions please ask.

The dnd group I play with is about to start a new campaign (dnd 2024) and I'm going with Wild Magic Sorcerer. Before session 0, I run my plan with my DM: human for the heroic inspiration so I can reroll once per long rest and avoid poisoning a teammate. Tough + Musician origin feats. Going with a chromatic theme - lots of chromatic orbs. No fireball: BORING. Planning to cast twice per round, once on my turn, once as a reaction whenever I can, in order to trigger as many wild magic surges as possible. He's fine with it.

Until he reads the wild magic surge table and tells me that he has to nerf it: it's too strong, too positively skewed. There is literally 0 chance to land on a bad effect. Some of these effects are as good as epic boons that other characters get at level 19. With the reroll, I can "remove the RNG aspect of it" and "aim for the crazy effects like resistance to all damage". All this on the core sorcerer subclass that is already too strong. And I will aim for the Bloodwell vial item, which will make my character too strong. And so, he offers to rewrite the wild magic surge table.

What do you guys think? Should the wild magic table be nerfed? In its current state, is wild magic sorcerer a god-tier supra S-tier subclass that breaks the game? Better than Aberrant Mind, or Draconic? Better than wizards, warlocks, druids? Please let us know!

This post is not aiming to embarrass him, please be nice, I think he's a great DM. Just trying to bring some perspective with this post.
