I want to draw some characters for internet strangers. The picture is some of my art. Mod approved.

Just post a comment telling me about their appearance, personality and if you want please tell me the general vibe you'd want the piece to have. You don't have to write an essay but if you don't tell me a bit about their personality my drawing WILL SUCK.

My last post got absolutely flooded (which is why I'm making a new one) and while I will try to draw as many characters as possible, please understand that I will be following my whimsy and if there's 100 people here you may not be chosen.

Also if you have a character who's an aasimar, star related, has colorful hair or has an animal companion (I like cute animals, cool animals and skanky manky animals) PLEASE GIVE THEM TO ME

So I DM for a group of mostly new players, except for 1 who is an experienced player, who is also the reason I am making this post.

So obviously with new players, they can have a hard time roleplaying, which is totally fair and I try my best to make it fun to try and get them to engage.

With both new players, I’ve noticed banter with NPCs has been getting them into it a bit so I’ve been leaning into that for them, and making it a bit silly and fun so that they can laugh and loosen up a bit to get into the roleplay of the game.

The problem is, the experienced player does not like the silliness of this and has constantly complained and groaned each time I do it, which embarrasses the new players and causes them to back down a bit from roleplaying, along with she’s actively shut down roleplay sections with stuff like “can you not do that, that’s annoying?” Or “god I wanna leave this campaign” or “uugggghhhhhh” and it’s just been a constant thing.

I talked with her about it once, and she said she’d try to do better, but the very next session, she groaned and complained that the new players were exploring the world and roleplaying rather than going into combat immediately and just stopped talking and pouted when I called her out on it in DMs

She said she’ll try to work on it next campaign as the next campaign will be “serious horror so silliness won’t be an issue” (our next campaign is Curse of Strahd)

I’ve yet to tell her that both times I’ve run this campaign it’s been hilarious cause each players kinda baffle me with how they deal with situations and how could you not mess around a bit with a vampire world (I can recall one time a player bashed his head into a mirror to see if there was anything behind it). I also like to put on an accent for this campaign which she has also shown dislike towards.

I am afraid of her doing this again, but I don’t want to hurt her feelings and I’m unsure of how to handle this. I have brought up the idea that maybe this just isn’t the table for her and she might benefit from finding a more serious and more combat focused group, and that’s completely fair! Not every playstyle will work with each group, I’ve just found the group as a whole enjoys messing around a bit, she’s the only outlier, and while she agreed, she has committed to staying and hasn’t changed her behaviour.

EDIT: Okay I did something wrong and tried to make like a little other post to let people know that I kicked her out and was told not to, that's my bad I don't really post on reddit too much lol. But as a little update, she is now gone. I messaged her that her behaviour will no longer be tolerated in my group and she should find another. Thank you to the comments for opening my eyes about how I was letting her walk all over me. I needed to step up for my players, and I plan to do better :)

I'll start:

We were playing an adventure, where we all were cursed with a curse of fate. Whatever we did, we were destined to get into very ugly situations all the time, as long as we bear the cursed mark. So of course it was our goal to find out why we are cursed, who cursed us and how to break the curse. We adventured a long time (1,5 years realtime, about 50 sessions) until we found the coven of nighthags, that cursed us and an encounter broke out.
Now onto the surprise mechanic:
Our DM tracked EVERY SINGLE Heroic Inspiration we used throughout the adventure and what we used it for and used "the fate we tricked" as a roll-table for his legendary actions.
Worst situation in this fight was propably the Inspiration used in the past by our bard to not fail her last death-save. So when that Inspiration as rolled, our fighter just straight up dropped to 0 HP.

Now onto your stories

Pretty much title. I've been playing a lot of Baldur's Gate 3 again and find myself using guidance on every single non-combat check. I know that BG3 isn't DnD, but even in DnD proper I don't see a reaason not to use it all the time, maybe if you want to be stealthy? I'm just curious because it seems wild to have pretty much no limitations.

Hey folks,

I’ve created something a little different this time. I wanted to design a dungeon that was heavily inspired by old-school board games. In my own mind, it worked just fine, but then I thought it may not be so obvious to everyone else, so I set to work creating a comprehensive guide that details how the dungeon works and gives some advice as to how to run it. Your players will have to work together to flip levers, smash buttons, turn wheels, to crack the door combination and avoid the trap to reach their goal.

You can use the map as it is here, or you can grab the 30 page Master’s Guide and simplified map [completely FREE] here: https://ko-fi.com/zatnikotel

Enjoy!

I’ve decided to host friends to watch the Rings of Power on the three Wednesdays that it comes out. The idea is for each day to have decorations and clothes inspired by a different race. First Wednesday is Elves, second of Dwarves and lastly but not least Hobbits.

I’ve selected 26 recipes from Heroes Feast and Flavors of the Multiverse. 8 options to test for the elves, another 8 for the Dwarves and 10 for the Hobbits. On the actual day I imagine I’ll end up making 4-5 for each day.

I started trying them out this weekend with two recipes I’ve selected for the Dwarven day. The Dwarven Flatbread and the Delzoun Tide-Me-Overs.

I’m actually surprised, they were both really easy to make and turned out great! The bread is lighter than I expected, probably because of the yogurt, and the herbs really add a herbal taste.

The Tide Me Overs might just be the best meatballs I’ve ever had. Very moist, well flavored and it matches its sauce really well.

Don’t know if anyone likes the recipes in the book but I might keep posting them as I go.

This wooden plank texture roller was 3D printed and applied to air-dry clay. Really happy with how crisp the wood grain and gaps between the boards came out!
For those wondering, the clay I use is from JOVI. No baking required — just roll, texture and let it dry.
And if you’re wondering why I don’t just 3D print the bases directly: this clay costs around €7 per kilo… so I can make a LOT of bases for next to nothing. 😅

Question of course applies to everybody else who enjoys a good old dungeon crawl.

I'm by no means trying to start a fight. In our sessions, dungeons are usually a target that needs to be cleared to get something specific and then get the hell out if there again.

I'm genuinely curious about what makes a ongoing dungeon crawl fun? Is it even comparable to story driven DnD? Are characters more disposable and you were able to try different character concepts? What was the motivation? Better loot? Trying to beat the DMs challenges? How long did you crawl? One session? A few? All of them?

Let me hear your stories!

My character (the one being robbed lol) is a human dungeoneer fighter who hails from a small coastal town in Greyhawk.

Born in a smaller village by the name "Roaringshore" located on the western edge of the sword coast, Euron Drumwind's parents were killed when Euron was very young during a pirate raid. The man who killed Euron's parents took pity on him and decided to take him as one of his own. Living on a ship and sailing the seven seas, Euron grew fond of his crew and learned to call them his family, and even finding a "brother" he personally bonded with.

Throughout the years Euron began to make a name for himself, quickly becoming the captain of a crew of his own. However, at the age of 27, Euron's bond-brother "Theon" killed a magistrate from Baldur's Gate that was forcing himself onto a young girl. Being almost 5 years younger and much more inexperienced than Euron, he knew what he had to do. Taking the prison sentence that came along with covering for his brother, Euron spent almost the entirety of his 30's rotting in the cells under Wyrm's Rock. Finally escaping around the age of 37, Euron instantly set out to find his bond-brother. After half a year of searching Euron finally discovered Theon's whereabouts and set sail to reconcile with him. Unfortunately for Euron, he was met with hostility and a near death experience from Theon and his new crew. During the decade Euron was in prison, Theon slowly began to spiral out of control hearing his and Euron's crew blame him for Euron's incarceration and possible death. Theon began to form an inferiority complex towards Euron which caused the bond-brother to begin resenting and later on even hating Euron, going so far as to carve out their "Brother's" tattoo they got matching on their right forearms. Wanting to accept his fate, Euron chose to set sale for Kara-Tur but was ambushed by Theon and his crew. Having no choice other than to defend himself, Euron mostly wiped out Theon's crew before meeting Theon himself in the captain's chambers where they realized it was time to settle things permanently. Starting off as a fist fight, Euron easily gained the upper hand on Theon. Mid-way through the fight, Theon pulled out a scabbard and knocked Euron to the ground causing Euron to pleade "Brother please.." in which Theon responded with "YOU ARE NOT MY BROTHER". Theon lopped Euron's right forearm off to remove the tattoo permanently and in a fit of rage began to try hacking at Euron himself but missed badly. Tumbling down onto the ground, Euron rolled on top of his once beloved brother and began to pummel his head in with his leftover arm and even headbutting him towards the end. It's been 4 years since the battle and Euron has taken up work as a mercenary to pay the bills and have a bit of fun in the meantime. However, our crew seems to have plans for him...
