I made this cursed little guy at like 3:30 AM while trying to come up with a mascot for a warband, and it kind of… just happened.

He doesn’t talk.

He doesn’t think.

He just balances on a barrel and plays.

No rhythm. No mercy. Just sound.

I imagine he’d be the kind of creature that shows up in a dungeon and completely ruins the party’s sanity rather than actually dealing damage.

If this was in your campaign, how would you run it? 😂

Dear Reddit, this is a serious post. One of my old friends who was a player in our d&d group passed away in a car crash today along with another friend. I need some advice on how to properly let her characters have a meaningful good bye...I've never dealt with death at the table before....I'm at a loss for words since I found out this morning

Edit: I appreciate all the support and kind messages from everyone on this subreddit....I lost another friend in the same car crash, but our group is going to focus on healing first before we jump back into those games

This is a commission I did for SentientBedsheets I really enjoyed drawing their character she’s beautiful 🩷

This is the description provided by my client of their OC

Her name is Malice Do’Vier. She’s a drow hexblade warlock. She is a banished former priestess of Lolth and due to a mistake she made she is being forced by Lolth to adventure with people she wouldn’t otherwise be with. It was this, or become a drider. (She’s Lawful Evil, but has to behave and cooperate as a condition of her eventual release from banishment as an ironic punishment.)

The sentient sword is her patron, taken from a dragon’s skull.

What I didn’t expect was how hard the journey would be.

We went in pretty unprepared. We had to learn everything from scratch. Writing is one thing, but publishing, production, layout, working with artists, printing, logistics… it’s basically a whole set of professions on their own. There were a lot of late nights, a lot of “why isn’t this working,” and a lot of figuring things out the hard way.

At the same time, there were these small moments that kept us going. Every time an illustrator sent over a new piece, it felt like opening a present. Seeing the world slowly come to life piece by piece was incredible.

We also spent years trying to weave everything together across chapters and books. Making it feel connected, but not repetitive. That part was probably one of the hardest, but also one of the most rewarding.

Now we’re working on the fourth book, and somehow that same excitement is still there. Sitting down, throwing around ideas, and turning them into something real never really gets old.

I guess the reason I’m posting this is just to say: if you’ve been thinking about creating something, do it.

Write, draw, build your world, whatever it is.

There’s something special about bringing something into existence that wasn’t there before.

Designed a new (expensive) adventuring outfit for Narcelia as this will probs be my last year-ish playing her as campaign is in its final season. Finally embodying the deep reds in her design, even though she’s very purple encoded! Will be playing her tomorrow and will be the first PROPER session where the party is whole again in the middle of war and have to strategize.

Edit. Just talked to the neighbor, the host. They hired him, as he does this for Cons and stuff so it’s kind of his thing. They were on a bit of a trial run so that’s why the fee didn’t start immediately. She loves him and says he’s a great DM. He doesn’t have all the bells and whistles like figurines and maps and stuff, but I trust her judgement. So, I’m gonna give it a go. Thanks to those who genuinely and graciously helped with the inquiry. GGz! ;)

backstory: Finn Briggs (62) was once a quiet priest of Selûne, faithfully tending to the needs of the High House of Stars in Waterdeep. For decades, he lived a life of gentle ritual and sacred duty—until the night a child was left upon the temple steps beneath a glowing full moon.

He named her Luna, believing she was touched by the Moonmaiden herself.

He raised her with compassion and reverence, nurturing her natural magical talent and deep faith. But Luna dreamed beyond the temple walls. She yearned to be a cleric of action—an adventurer who would shine Selûne’s light into the darkest places of the world.

Finn tried to hold her back, but he could not contain her fire.

She left with a fledgling band of adventurers, chasing justice and glory. She never returned.

Weeks later, Finn received word: her party was annihilated by a horde of orcs in the Ardeep Forest. No survivors. No remains.

Grief hollowed him. Faith faltered. He learned Orcish in secret, driven by a bitter hunger he dared not name. And in the silence of his despair, Shar, Selûne’s cruel sister, began to whisper.

The Lady of Loss offered him comfort. Oblivion. A way to forget.

But when he found Luna’s diary, her words rekindled the light within him. Her joy, her courage, her unwavering belief in good—it gave him purpose. Finn became a cleric, wielding divine magic in his daughter’s name. He set out to finish the work she began: to heal, to protect, and to carry Selûne’s light forward, even through his own heartbreak.

Now, fate calls him to the depths of the world.

Volothamp Geddarm, eccentric scholar and famed author, has petitioned the High House of Stars for aid in a perilous expedition. His goal: to locate a long-lost ancient elven throne, rumored to be hidden in a forgotten dwarven stronghold buried deep beneath Undermountain—a place where few return from and even fewer return whole.

The temple’s elders chose Finn.

Not just for his divine talents or his knowledge of ancient dialects, but because he has already walked through loss—and survived. Finn now travels with Volo’s expedition, Luna’s diary clutched close to his heart, his moonlit shield gleaming against the dark.

But in the deep places of the world, the line between hope and despair grows thin. As Finn descends into Undermountain—a labyrinth of madness, ruin, and forgotten empires—Shar’s whispers grow louder.

Will he uncover the lost throne and reclaim a relic of elven majesty?

Will he shine Selûne’s light in the blackest corners of the Undermountain?

Or will the sorrow in his heart become the chasm into which he finally falls?

This is Master Zhen, He lives in the citadel. He used to be a soldier in the army and became a travelling mercenary after the king's campaign ended. He's 5'9 and 271lbs and has a Huge sword he also uses as a cleaver sometimes. He has abnormally high muscle strength.

His father was a family yatai business owner and he'd seen that as a future for himself but he got drafted before he could pursue it.

Now that he's not a mercenary or a soldier anymore he set up his own Yatai in the citadel serving food unheard of in the city or even the country sometimes from all the recipes he's learnt during his time as a travelling mercenary.

And he soon attracted a lot of customers owing to his natural talent as a chef but longing to be original and create a recipe to leave as his legacy once he's gone he usually experiments a lot, most of which end up in disaster.

Once he fed such a recipe to a high ranking minister who'd stopped with an entourage and gave them all food poisoning for days after which the minister banned him from running a food business so now he just sets up his cart (yatai) anywhere he wants and packs up and leaves (sometimes even as his customers are eating) when the city guards find him.

He's pretty boisterous, laughs loudly and often clashes with city guards, dine and dashers, sometimes thieves etc. He usually dispatches of them pretty easily being careful enough not to hurt them too much.

His favourite catch phrase is "What's the matter? Can't handle a bit of heat?" As he's fighting these people.

He carries a bottle and pouch. The bottle carries a hot sauce that he used to pump his adrenaline up. It has very potent scorpion venom in it, a single drop can kill normal humans but to him it just feels super spicy (his own recipe, he loves spicy food)
