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...

Deep within the dark cavernous water logged cenotes of the Feywild, exist populations of small xolotl creatures, most no bigger than a halfling, but sometimes, when conditions are just right, and chaotic magics permeate the waters, a much larger, more menacing create can form, a hydraxolotl, named by the Castillarian explorers who first encounted one and simply combined the native name of the creature with the multiheaded beast known to exist back on their own continent.

Recently I got two of my players upset about not showing "Critical success" over a Nat20. They were trying to get NPCs to drink a vial of "white male liquid". I let them play along with a 30DC that I knew they could not reach because they are too low level, but on their second try they ended up getting a Nat20 on persuasion. Other players were not amused by the joke in general, one of them even using a Control Water spell to spill one of the vials before the vial owner announced he had one more. In response to the Nat20 I just said the NPC accepts the vial and walks away with intentions of trying it off screen which got me some eye rolls from the players, fortunately we moved on and we're able to keep playing but after the session I did get asked by one of them why hadn't I "let them succeed"? At the time my response was "I am also a player in the game, and I don't want to roleplay that, it's disgusting" which was accepted as a valid reason but I'm not entirely convinced of my own answer.

I guess I'm just wondering:

What would another DM have done?

Has anyone had to say No to a Nat20 like that?

Should I have just forbid them from rolling/trying?

EDIT: Thank you for everyones input! I'm turning of notification now. Will definitely be more firm in-game and with my players with these things from now on.

so yeah, it’s a heavily home brewed campaign, of just me and my friends. if it looks crazy don’t worry, we have our own rules of balancing.

cool stuff happening all around. it’s extremely lore heavy too with guilds and laws of each guild. it’s been going on for three years now. still the same characters and parties. though, it is from different parties, just set in the same world. i handle four tables.

as for the characters, they’re just silly little guys. they’re based off of us ourselves or people we know.

i just love how they all look together like this, like dolls. my players love them, they all have such strong personalities.

Some background: I play in a group of 5 people (DM and 4 Players) and for the most part things have been good. I am admittedly a Min-Maxer and have built my PC as a Fighter 8/Barbarian 3 who's goal is to take hits since most everyone else is fairly squishy and focus heavily in one enemy, usually the biggest.

Recently whenever we go into combat, I'd do my thing of rush in and beatdown the biggest guy, but recently some of my table mates seem kind of... annoyed whenever I do this, usually saying something like "Oh wow, it sure would be nice to do something." or "Don't one-shot the monster to quickly, D3adSpac3." Etc.

We did have a little thing before where a PC was giving me advantage on initiative roles which helped get me into the fray faster, but this has stopped when another person jokingly brought up how the feel like they never go before me. This didn't bother me at first, but these other comments are starting to make me feel anxious I suppose.

I do plan on bringing this up with my group if it seems my actions are impacting everyone else's fun, but would also like to know if y'all have any advice or similar situations.

Thanks!

As well as my new page formats, I'm happy to introduce the next Subclass art that has been completed, say hello to the Way of Horn and Claw Monk! inspired by real life monks and certain superheroes, this monk channels their key into a myrad of Stances, that mimic the numerous creatures of the underground, each granting their own abilites and uses. a few of my favouites are the Wing Stance (as shown above) which mimics airborn predators, granting flight and dealing slashing damage to enemies they fly past, to the bomabdeer beetle inpired Scalding Stance, which grants area of effect attacks. The fellow in the art is also a Line-born, an antkin, which have multple subraces, based on their job within the nest, as they take the place of dwaves within this setting.

Reddit, dont smite me

They say speaking with spirits requires forbidden rituals and dark pacts.
She disagrees. According to her notes, it mostly requires curiosity, patience… and a few questionable bones.

During her studies she discovered a strange principle: fragments of a creature sometimes retain a faint echo of what they once were. With the right focus, that echo can be… encouraged to manifest.

The small relic she carries holds the remains of three such specimens. The masks help shape their forms when they appear, giving the spirits something familiar to inhabit.

Now the three entities follow her everywhere.
One offers thoughtful observations, another constantly questions her methods, and the third seems mostly interested in causing harmless chaos.

Technically speaking, she insists, they are not ghosts.

Im trying to get better at art, I still see a lot of errors in my art but I try to improve it everytime I draw again. This was an exercise into shading but I'm not very proud on it since it looks more like gold dragon instead of a yellow one. Maybe change the shading and the lighting in the future. I hope someday in the future I could draw monsters as part of my job for people and gain lots of commissions, but for today, I will try just to get better before gaining money.

But asides from that, the yellow dragon come to my attention from the dungeondad video. the lost chromatic dragon that is seen as a coward by other dragons. They are fast and have a salt breath, they will appear in the coast and hunt down outsiders, but if other dragons appear, they will flee.
