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...

For use in your next campaign. A small comic I did inspired by a goofy oneshot session with some friends. A little warrior (named little kippy) approaches the classic two guard riddle. But instead of one being able to tell the truth and one only being able to lie. It’s only the former. And that’s kind of it haha. There was no need for the riddle actually, as Ronny and other the guard had a serious chat about their working relationship. You can find more of my comics over on Insta

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share this commission I had the pleasure of working on ✨ This piece features Roskva, a Stone Giant created for a client. Suffering from a condition known as gem sickness, her once-solid stone form has begun to show strange crystalline growths that glimmer across her body. It was a real pleasure to work on this piece and explore the contrast between rough stone and shining crystal.

Middle-aged drow necromancer commission I did a while ago. I don't know much about the story of the character the client didn't tell me much but she is supposed to be Asian looking and a spider themed necromancer, with a ribcage over the chest as a kind of accessory. I added the spider monkey skeleton as a fun familiar. The webs were inspired by random spider webs in my backyard XD. This was a fun design challenge to do. My commissions are OPENif anyone is interested, feel free to DM me!"

During a recent campaign, two people new to DnD became very close friends both in game and out of game. To commemorate the friendship the DM suggested I do an artwork for them, and it happened that one of the players (the Shifter) had a birthday coming up so this is an early gift to them.

The Shifter is Eloine Snowcoat and the Dragonborn is Lavender.

Eloine grew up in a community that prided on strength and combat prowess akin to Githyanki culture but without any 'higher power' to combat. Simply believing that constantly honing themselves is how they better themselves as a people against potential threats. 'Weakness' in its various forms are not tolerated which can be a taxing sentiment to live with.
Lavender came across Eloine after a particularly gruesome battle and with her caring nature made certain to heal Eloine. Eloine offered what was effectively a life debt to Lavender which Lavender accepted. Not in order to keep Eloine as a slave or bodyguard but instead to use this 'life debt' to give Eloine a new life away from the violence and intensity that she'd always known.

The scene above is after they'd been travelling together through the Tundrascape and were about to leave on a ship to a new Kingdom which they had business in. This was kinda the point where we as a group recognised the friendship that'd evolved in the game and between the players so we figured it was a good place for them! :D

Rekxis "Reks", 7th Heaven's Hellion

Rekxis is a lizardfolk Glamour Bard who usually melts hearts with his electric guitar. Taverns, festivals, crowded streets; that’s normally his stage. But today he’s taking a rare break, flexing after winning a volleyball match and pretending he doesn’t love the attention from curious beachgoers. My goal was to capture his essence even without his usual rockstar outfit, did i get it right?

If this was your character, what kind of backstory would he have?

I was once in a game where the DM tracked the players health, didn't tell you how much damage you'd taken, or what was left. If you wanted to find out you had to roll a medicine check on yourself and even then, depending on the pass it would be within a range. It just made making decisions in combat tricky, not knowing how much health I had left!

DM here. I have had PCs die before in other campaigns of mine but they were all planned or "scripted" so I don't really count it.

The other time a PC died this campaign, the player rolled terribly and failed his death saves but they were in a temple of a god with this powerful being, and was able to be resurrected. This was worrying me because I wanted it to be clear to the players that the world is dangerous. The stakes need to have meaning.

This time, however, felt pretty natural.

They were in an underground arena fighting Gor-Gor. (A giant red T-rex from the band Gwar and I played the song and everything, the reveal was so cool.) The PC, Stump (rogue tabaxi), ran up to Gor-Gor and tried climbing up his tail.

He rolled at Nat 1. He took a ton of damage from the tail attack, slammed into a fallen pillar, putting him down to 0 HP. Then his character fell into the elevator pit that Gor-Gor had come out of, instantly taking a failed death save. When I asked him to roll again for death saves, he rolled another Nat 1.

We mourned the loss of Stump.

But me, as the evil DM, was so happy someone truly died because it made it clear to the players that your character can die. There are stakes. The world is dangerous. It set the tone pretty well and I'm excited for future sessions. Plus the player gets to make a new character and he seems excited about that.

Anywho, yeah, it was great, just sharing my experiences. Do you have any similar stories or experiences?

To whoever is reading this I hope your day is going well.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share my latest isometric drawing. I know these aren't the best for actual gameplay but damn, do I love how they look.

I am aware of many other subs where people post their cartography pieces but they are 99% top-view maps (and I often post top-view maps there as well). But I sometimes feel my isometric babies do not get the love they deserve.

I think isometric maps are great to convey perspective, heights, and they help players visualize where they are in the dungeon in a better fashion, especially when verticality is involved.

What do you think?

Modeled in Blender, printed in resin, painted and sealed in epoxy by me. I recently made a mimic "Dice Friend" as a cutesy, happy alternative to dice jails, and it proved pretty popular. So I thought I'd turn a mindflayer and a gelatinous cube into Dice Friends, too!

I'm thinking about designing more, so let me know which D&D creature would be your #1 most desired Dice Friend!
