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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

What happens when the most wanted pirate in her dimension and the man who is trying to save the multiverse meet?

...

They end up together, obviously.

Anya and Drix met long before they became a couple, but 'the right people at the wrong time' are destined to cross paths again. Their reunion certainly didn't happen during quiet times, but in the vastness of the multiverse, what are the odds of running into the same person by chance?

A bit about them...

Drix is one of the recurring NPCs in our group's campaigns (all united in a single multiverse) and one of our longest-standing characters. His true form is that of a dragonborn, a form he must hides while in Anya's dimension, and he has the ability to transform into a dragon thanks to what we call "draconic energy", in our campaigns. It’s hard to briefly explain exactly what he is or what he does, but he's the guardian of the multiverse's balance, essentially a man bearing a heavy burden, trying to prevent the various dimensions from being consumed by corruption.

Anya, on the other hand, is one of my earliest characters. I love playing her and adore the homebrew setting that the master created for the campaign. She's an eccentric character who easily stirs up chaos wherever she goes. She's fearless, though she can, on rare occasions, be very serious. She started out as a simple pirate, but by the end of the campaign, she had become the captain of the most feared pirate ship in her seas, as well as the most wanted person across all the kingdoms.

All in all, getting to know them reveals an eccentric couple:

- the dragon and the pirate

- the criminal and the guardian

- the sunshine and the grumpy character

My DM runs a homebrew campaign. I joined the group for this campaign but the nat 1 system he uses makes me dislike my character.

Here are some examples:

Roll nat 1 in combat - you automatically hit an ally instead.

Roll nat 1 on intimidation - you scare yourself instead so much so that you pee yourself and slip in your own urine hit your head and take 6 damage.

Roll nat 1 on perception - you get dust in your eyes take 4 damage and have disadvantage on all perception checks until rest.

Roll nat 1 on a save - you take double the damage.

I really like the other players and love to play with them, they were very welcoming even when i was new to the group. But the DM is rubbing me a bit the wrong way. I can handle the scarcity of magic items and the underwhelming power of our characters compared to the monsters. But it seems like it is the DM versus the players and all about making the player characters the butt of the joke, where i was hoping for a heroic adventure. Would it be unreasonable to quit over this? The others seems fine with it, at least they dont say anything. I'm just the new person.

Edit: After reading your replies i decided to quit effective immediately as most confirmed that i was not just imagining that these were dumb rules. Since my DM is a man and significantly older than me and don't have a decent view on womens opinions i decided to do so as quietly as possible.

I sent him a message explaining that i did not find myself right for his campaign. Wished him luck and texted the other members saying that i quit and would love to hang out and just chat or play some board games if any of them wanted.

I will be looking for another group, and do more research on what rules they use before joining.

Thank you for the replies, some of you at lightning speed.

Me and my wife completed on our home in January. A charming four bed terrace in Manchester. There were many things that attracted us, but for me it was the cellar. It wasn’t in the best condition. It needed more work to waterproof, painting, subfloor and flooring put down. It’s now finished 7 months after moving in. I wanted to share the space with you all for what is now somewhere for me to play D&D not just online, but physically around a table. What you don’t see is the wall to the left with the floating shelves with my collection of books. Still a few things to do but I’m really happy with this space that I can now utilise to play around a table with friends.
