I don't really know if this is the right place to ask, but I just need some advice. So, my cousin, completely unexpectedly committed suicide, he was a player at our DND table. As of now, only I and one more player know of this (of the group) as we were playing 40k when I got the message, but another player was a classmate of my cousin and he will most likely learn of it in like 7,5h. I don't think he'll be able to hold his tongue though, so everyone will know soon enough. Honestly I don't think I'm making any sense at the moment, just asking if others have similar experiences or advice.

Posting for my girlfriend; she is terrified of actually recieving feedback so thought I'd help her out a bit (with her reluctant permission). She's been creating some incredible artwork for DND including maps, tokens and soundscapes - so thought I'd share with you all so she can get some more feedback. Please see post below:

As I'm currently massively into halflings and that painterly oil style, here's another lovely token of a Bard.

In my game, he's the father of my OC Yablochka (aka. my profile pic). He's a loving dad and a typical halfling who enjoys the warm, homely customs of his village.

This painting is done by hand and on one layer in the free software Krita. I used a brushpack called "Impasto Brushes" by memileo, which I want to shout out for being the best oil paint simulation I've ever had.

I know, some of you are lazy lil goobers, so I've added a token version as well!

No need to thank me, anything for you guys 'n gals <3

There really isn't much more to say, except: stay tuned in, I'll post a couple more halfling-centered imagery in the next few days, including a little halfling-house.

As always feel free to comment! I'd love to know how you like it and what you'd like to see painted/drawn in my style next!

Love,

Ally~

So I’m going to be DMing for the fist time on Saturday and I am super excited! I decided to get the Heroes of the Borderlands starter set, but I felt it started weirdly if that makes sense?

I don’t want my newbie (brand newbie!) players to feel pushed into role playing with each other when they don’t actually know each others characters. So I have created a tavern that I have placed on the trail just before the woods.

The Hollow Lantern, your typical tavern. Serves food, drink and offers weary travellers a room for the night. I have created a physical menu for each of my players and I am planning on baking the items on the menu and making the drinks (which are cocktails)! I think this would be a great first experience with playing d&d and I hope it will help my friends fall in love with the game as much as me!

As it’s recommended to start with The Wilderness booklet I decided that a survivor of the looted wagon will stumble into the tavern, a bloodied, crumpled note in hand as he falls to the floor pointing the players in the right direction! I have also created a caravan ledger to literally fall onto the table so they can read it!

I don’t know if I am going too over the top for a first session, but I just want everything to be perfect for my players first ever time playing!

Does anyone have any first time DM advice?

Edit: I also made each of my players a customisable a5 binder, this has their character sheets, spells, items they have at the beginning of the game, loads of space for any session notes they want to take! I got them a set of dice each and a dice tray each! They are all super excited to get started!

We have;

A human ranger

A tiefling warlock

A tabaxi barbarian

And an elf Druid!

My human fighter named Bobbie who was adopted by the party, who started off as a wild human who operated on base instincts now free from the past that binded her looking towards the future that she has took upon the burdens of what she has become in the future.

Her armor and design choice in the present is something I created to include her new nature, her arm made of copper is mark of her divinity. The mask she uses to hide herself, thrown away to face troubles bare and her weapon, a gift from herself from the future to aid her in her combat

Another commissioned character the Minotaur Agnes!

It was a really fascinating experience: the original character was created in HeroForge, which made it very easy to examine all the details.

Although there are quite a few changes from the original model, next time I’ll show Agnes in her original outfit.

I really loved this character’s lore especially her beloved frying pan. In the morning, it’s a tool for cooking breakfast for the party; by day, it becomes an instrument of monster annihilation!

Like... you love the premise, the lore, the story, etc. But... somewhere in between, it just... fell apart. Players couldn't make it to the session, they made... questionable mistake, that turned the campaign upside down, they have a second thought on the class that they were playing, and they don't find that class or that character fun anymore, stuff like that. Have you ever tried to... reset the campaign? Picking players who can show up often, fully discussed your characters with the group, made... "better" decision. Have you ever done it? If yes, pls tell me your experience with it so that i could know wehether i should discuss it with my game group
