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!

KINDLY REMINDER THAT THE MAKESHIP CAMPAIGN FOR THE GROGNA & TREVOR PLUSHIES ARE ONLY UP FOR ANOTHE 12 DAYS! GET THEM NOW BEFORE THEYRE GONE!

So I've been playing with a group for nearly three years now, and I'm encountering an interesting roleplaying challenge: almost nobody is left of the original party that set out on an adventure together.

Most of this isn't because of players leaving. We've had two instances of that, but mostly it's just people wanting to change characters. We were originally a party of five, soon after a party of six in Session Three, and only my character and that sixth member's character are still there.

Our mission remains the same, but the people on it have been shifting in and out. And with one of the two recent departures being my character's love interest, it's starting to occur to me just how much this should really be impacting him. The trouble is I don't quite know how specifically it should be affecting him, just that it should definitely be affecting him a lot.

"The way was not clear in the swamp, as other things one hope to never cross the path with".

Fellow adventurers: here another piece I recently worked on!

I wanted to draw a swamp-like place, where the ruins of the past silently lie and all hope of life is gone. But while going on, I felt something was a little off, because it felt empty, so here came the idea: what if a spirit, who still has not found peace on mortal lands, cross the path with this lonely and mysterious traveller? End of the story, now this drawing has something to tell! Hope you'll enjoy it, stay tuned for more.

Also, last but not last, I am open for commissions and projects, just DM or email me!

Some of D&D's biggest Devs talk about the future of Dungeons & Dragons, and just how "mature" Dark Sun will actually be. Plus what could Star Wars D&D look like...could Spelljammer and Planescape get new releases and much more !

I need help with a player problem.

So I'm looking for advice on what to do with a problem player. I will refer to him as player A. So Player A has become a problem he joined 4 months ago and hadn't played before. With him playing with us we have had several problems that I can narrow do to the following.

1. Attendance- he is constantly late or gone. He has missed entire months without warning or letting people know. And when we talk to him about it his simple reply is that it will happen again.

2. His personal beliefs differ for the tables and he is constantly making our sessions become political or religious. This may not be a big thing for all tables but dnd should be fun I don't want to worry about religion or politics while playing with friends in a fantasy world to escape the real one. And the table has a leave it at the door rule.

3. I as the dm believe he is impacting the party's roleplay in a negative way. He is super chaotic and has some pretty bad main character syndrome. This is the least of my problems with him because he's new to dnd and I think he's kinda testing the boundaries.

So with the above in mind I personally don't want him in the group. Here's the main problem with kicking out player A... There's another player, we'll refer to as player B. We all love playing with Player B. In the 4 months between now and when Player A joined. Player A and Player B have begun dating. I know due to me already trying to talk to them about unrelated dnd things but still serious things, like my personal health stuff, that I can't talk to either player about the other without them telling the other and both being hostile/upset with me. The rest of the party despite Player A's problems don't want to kick him because we may lose player B.

Player B is also a loyal girlfriend to a fault. She has torn apart friend groups and dnd parties before over her boyfriend troubles. So best case scenario I kick Player A and then Player B tries to take down the table.

I ,trying to not call anyone out, last session went out the table rules we all agreed on when joining again with all players only for player A to spend the session being super argumentative about everything and Player B not participating in the roleplay instead opting to text Player A while at the table.

And last session due to them not helping the party the PCs are in a really rough spot which isn't a bad thing but I have those voices in my head telling me the easiest thing to do would be to party wipe them. So I can avoid kicking them out and the potential fallout in my friend group that would be caused by player B if I kicked player A.

I just feel stuck. If I talk to player A or B they talk to each other and get into a fight with them. If I kick Player A, Player B destroys the party/group. If I kick both of them Player B will drag it into other facets of my life harming those. I feel like my best course is to just TPK. And start a new game without them. But I'm worried that would just kick the can down the road because if they find out they'll be mad then. I'm to the point where this has been eating at me for weeks now and it's taking away my enjoyment of dnd and my motivation to prepare sessions. I could really use some advice.

The thing that detracts from martials, to me, is that learning a weapon in D&D is way less interesting than learning one in real life. Real weapons combat involves so many skills and techniques that it's considered an art form. So giving each weapon a special property you can use if you master it is a good idea, but it needs to go way further.

Here's my idea:

First, rather than starting with Mastery, you start with Proficiency in just a select number of Martial Weapons.

Each weapon has a set of "Techniques" available to it, which you can learn as you level-up (the current Mastery Properties would be pretty low-level).

Each time, you can either advance a Technique you already know, or learn a new one for that weapon, or gain proficiency in a new weapon. The Mastery Property is then the capstone of this process.

And while I'm at it, there should be "Battle Formations" as an answer to Circle Casting, which can similarly enhance the effects of Techniques.

New school year's starting, the D&D club needs more people. What key words/short sentences would you write on the poster that would get the attention of the freshmen (and maybe older students too)?

This is one of the many characters I have andb someone for an upcoming campaign that I'm a part of. She's a fairy ranger. She's very in tune with nature and her weapon of choice is a bow and arrow. Her alignment is chaotic good. She's traveling to price to herself and her family that she can make something of herself and not be stuck in her community doing what she would consider biting work. She's extremely loyal to her party and all her friends in general. She's one to be in tune to nature even styling her armor to be more nature focused.

Hello there, adventurers! Here is one of the most unique characters that I drew last time. The task was to create mermaid, but make her available to go for land adventures. The player suggested the turtle as mount, and here what we figured out together. At start it was throne attached to turtle idea, but we skipped it, as , it would be too big for dungeons, and player wanted her to be able to taste all kind of quests.
And here we have this pair.
As for the drawing- as always your critics are welcomed, feel free to put some word if you have something to tell. And in total, what do you think of such character? Could it be interesting for you to play such kind?
This is all what I wanted to say here. Stay safe and have a good day!
See you soon on next arts !

I have created an original race. It is a Purgle Flaunt. It is virtually useless in combat, but is impossible to kill and incredibly charismatic. I have created him for no other reason than for him to be a creature every player immediately asks if they can cast speak animals on. Technically no, because it is a race and not an animal. Can he be befriended? Maybe. His wings are useless. They are technically antennae but because it is a fae-descent race (pig) it is technically fae.

Why did I make him? Because I have an unwavering vitriol towards the idea that dnd creatures have to be cool or useful. He is good for canon fodder. You can throw him. His rotund shape does not allow for easy handling. His skin is slick because he sleeps in mud or he dies. I will get him published in the next edition of 5e.
