What happens when grief, rage, fear, and joy become monsters?

We teamed up with Beyond the Screen for Lady of Lamentation, a dark fantasy 5e adventure from their Book of Spirits. Beyond the Screen wrote the adventure, while Mammoth Factory created the full 3D printable STL miniature collection to bring its spirit realm to life at the table.

In this adventure, the party follows the trail of a grief animar, a spirit born from grief, bound to Lady Lament. To save her, they will need more than damage rolls. They will need courage, compassion, and a willingness to understand what created the monster in the first place.

🔥 5 lucky adventurers will win the full PDF + STL bundle, including the complete Lady of Lamentation 5e adventure and the full Mammoth Factory miniature collection.

Use the towering Griever as a tragic final boss, bring Lady Lament to the table as a haunted warrior, fill your encounters with fear spirits like Flinch, and unleash emotion-born spirits of rage, loathing, disdain, ecstasy, exuberance, pensiveness, and magic.

Perfect for haunted villages, cursed ruins, spirit realm encounters, supernatural mysteries, and roleplay-heavy D&D sessions where the monster may be someone your party can still save.

If Lady Luck does not favor you this time, you can still grab the collection on Patreon or Tribes for 80% off (June only).

BONUS: Sign up for our Fateless Kickstarter newsletter and get the Miceketeers of Borrowtown 5e adventure PDF for free!

You’re getting the complete Lady of Lamentation adventure PDF, the full STL collection, unique monsters, NPCs, and everything needed to bring its spirit realm to your table.

The Party: 6 players, Sunday session, been planning this for a while.

The Crime: 90% of the party confirmed for 12pm Sunday. One player was non-committal all week, responding with “hmmm” and “ohh” when the time came up. Day before the session, they drop: “Sooo I’m sorry to be a pain, and if you guys want to kick me out of the group I get it, but is there any way we could do 5pm?? Sunday looks like it’s going to be beautiful and I really really want to go to the beach for a bit! But I also do want to play dnd.”
Here’s the problem: moving to 5pm kicks out two players who confirmed 12pm and cannot make it later.
One player is now advocating we move the session to include everyone. But moving it doesn’t include everyone. It just changes who gets excluded.
The beach will be there next week. The two confirmed players cannot make 5pm regardless of the weather.

The Verdict I’m Seeking: Are we wrong for keeping 12pm and telling Karissa to catch us next session?

This is their latest victim. She was supposed to be a ONE time encounter who is guarding the crime scene they have to investigate. Thought it would be nice to have a witness that they have to convince to give out correct information. Her name is Dolly and she only speaks in rhymes.

WELL. One of my players attempted to seduce her and when that did not work he gave her his name. No bargain, nothing. The other player attempted to hold him back by covering his mouth but this absolute.. talent somehow rolled a nat 20 on acrobatics and managed to SIGN his name to her. Now he got no name and I had to make an actual artpiece of her because she OWNS one of my players now. LOVELY.

Afterwards he attempted to drink poisonous water, ate a rock and almost killed his team member by pushing her INTO DOLLY.

What a great start to this campaign. This isn't the first campaign they have been doing this in and I am SLOWLY loosing my sanity.

Sylvi is a faun from a small northern village known for its blacksmiths. Her family had been forging weapons for generations, and she was raised around anvils, furnaces, and the sound of hammers long before she ever picked up a blade. Her father died when she was only a baby, leaving behind two things: his greataxe and a journal full of notes on smithing, travels, and the life he hoped to give his daughter.

She taught herself from both. Strong from years of forging and outdoor work, Sylvi eventually forged her own greatsword and left home to see the places her father wrote about. She grew up around nearby humans and elves, so practicality won over tradition when it came to clothing.

She's confident, loud, and always eager to prove herself, sometimes before thinking things through. She enjoys harmless pranks, rarely backs down from a challenge, and is the first to step between danger and her friends. If there's a fight to be had, she'll meet it with a grin and an axe over her shoulder.

I'm confused by the language of the "Parry" feat:

When you are hit with a melee attack, you may use your reaction to add +2 to your AC for the purposes of that attack, possibly causing it to miss. Regardless of weather the attack hits or misses, your AC returns to normal after you parry the attack. You may use this reaction after the DM announces the results of the attack roll, but before damage is rolled.

The thing I don't get is: since it costs nothing, why wouldn't you always Parry when attacked, thereby just having +2 to your AC? Unless, of course, you are incapacitated.

Or am I missing something?

EDIT: yeah I was missing something:

• the parry uses the reaction, a player has only one per turn, so you would use it strategically when a +2 AC avoids you getting hit, and afterwards you're more vulnerable.
• Also, it prevents using other reactions, e.g. opportunity attack

Thanks to everyone who answered 🙏

Hey, there! Not so experienced DM and this post is for learning how many different handles of this situation. So please be merciful for the comments so I can filter the responses into my mind.

I am asking what other DMs do when players roll 1 in the middle of fight. Almost all of my DMs were make that attack to hit other players so punish and make the fight harder. I saw rolling d4s to decide or just hit whoever in the line of attack. But when I do that into my group of course some people didn't like it so I want to learn different solutions to select in between depending on the situation. Hitting themselves is also makes sense but I don't know if it is ok always.

What is your opinion on this? Is there any other solution from hitting someone or themselves? I know it should be whatever is the more fun but if we say critical failure for rolling 1, it should happen something, right?

Thanks in advance for all the answers. I might not reply all but I will try to read all if I can
