So, I found out my grandparents were friends with Gary Gygax back in the 70s and were originally apart of his first Greyhawk group. We still have all the original books and box sets that were made from the 70s and 80s.

I'm so excited to learn this. Wondering if anyone else knows any parents or grandparents who were apart of the original party.

Changelings are shapeshifters, beings whose true appearance is often hidden behind countless identities and forms. While many choose forms that help them blend in, others embrace appearances that reflect different aspects of their nature.
This particular form feels almost ethereal—soft iridescent hair, glowing golden eyes, delicate elven features, and moon-like markings that hint at fey magic and ancient mysteries. Yet, like many changelings, this is only one face among many. Behind this elegant and luminous appearance may lie darker, more intimidating forms, each revealing a different side of the same soul.
I loved exploring the contrast between beauty, mystery, and the ever-changing nature that makes changelings such fascinating characters.

What could be more enjoyable than running butt-naked through the flowers?
The roller was 3D printed and applied to air-dry clay. I’m really happy with the result, even though I usually prefer grimdark! 😅
For those wondering, the clay I use is from the JOVI brand. No baking required.
And for those wondering why I don’t just 3D print the base directly: the clay costs €7 per kilo…

Stuff like, “My entire crew is dead” and the like. I’m trying to think of something that would shake a character. Not something horrific that killed everyone just… unnatural.

You all got ideas?

I designed this character with a lot of care, a Dark Queen, for my Fantasy World. I would love to give her a story that matches her design, imposing and majestic, with a golden crown and piercing eyes, where her silhouette stands out to the fullest, pure darkness

Also, its crown in the middle, where the light is absent, there are small orange lights, which shine and move slowly, perhaps they could be the door to a horrible darkness. I love the design

The hands on her body, you don't know if they are hers or they are from the infinite darkness that is in her, I love it, one of my favorite characters :3

Hello there, adventurers, here is one more sketchy character art. I have no backstory for this lady as she is commissioned, as you can see from the tag. Pretty wild looking lady tho with interesting tail, just my opinion. I bet you can find some information about tieflings in books or somewhere in net, if you are not familiar and interested to know more. As for drawing itself, as always your critics are welcomed, feel free to put some words if you have something to tell.
Soon I will have some more characters for posts, but, need to wait for cooldown of comm posts, you know.
This is all what I wanted to print here, stay safe and have a good day.
See you soon.

My friends and I have been playing a west-marches campaign for a year, and last night we fought the BBEG in a 9 hour session with 8 players. Three characters fell in battle, but after a full day of fighting we stopped Lord Abaddon, the DemoDragon from becoming a Chaos Lord, and bound his soul to guard the Black Blade of Agony for all eternity.

Our DM commissioned me to illustrate this piece for the finale, and I'm really proud how it came out, I love designing dragons and I think this one is my best work yet.

The first time this happened I introduced a chef to the party at a tavern, a woman who was known for making extremely spicy chilly. She sent the party on a quest to gather hot peppers, but when the party got back there had been an attack on the town. They saved the woman from a burning building and had her join their group as their cook. But I never had this woman make chilli again. Instead she was obsessed with crafting sweet decisions pies.

Everyone just accepted it and no one said a single word about the change, except for this Player X. Player X pointed out the odd change immediately and were ignored and even gaslit by the other players who insisted that they were pretty sure she had always made pies.

I let it go on for a month before finally the party walked into the kitchen of their base and found themselves treated to a full table of delicious pies. Everyone chowed down, except Player X. Then they all had to make saves as the pies stunned and debilitated them. The cook revealed herself as a Pie Demon (pie friend from 3.5) who had replaced the original chef during the attack on the village all that time ago. Player X was vindicated in front of everyone and all the players had to admit how foolish they had been and Player X saved them as the only member who had refused the suspicious pies.

You'd think after this the party would realize how observant Player X is, but skip a year later and a different campaign and they're at the end game puzzle. Only the true name of the main NPC will solve the puzzle. The party had learned at least 4 titles the NPC had gone by in the past, but none of them worked. One player holds the special item that must be used when calling out the name and became frustrated after their attempts failed. They insisted that the party needed to backtrack through the whole dungeon to find the answer. Player X says (out of character), "wouldn't BLANK be an appropriate alternative to the names we know?" Everyone ignored him, no one says the suggested name, instead saying that it would never be so simple and they all should backtrack the dungeon. 20 minutes later that find the answer in one of the rooms they had skipped only to discover it was the exact name Player X had suggested. Once again, everyone looks dumb as rocks and has to apologize to Player X.

Now for anyone who might think I played this wrong as a DM, I want to make clear that Player X never once tried to hold the item necessary for the true name ritual and also never said the true name in character, they simply made a suggestion OOC. I could have ruled that it worked in that moment regardless, but I tend to prefer letting the characters figure out puzzles, especially puzzles that end the campaign, on their own.

Would you have done the same? Have you ever had a player that was usually right but often overlooked? Or maybe a player that is so self confident that they ignore someone else's correct answer?

Finally got the art done for the final boss of Client last campaign — a rakshasa lord who ruled through fear, wealth, and just a little too much confidence.

Client brief was pretty specific: legs crossed on the throne, sipping from a skull goblet in one clawed hand, black fur with orange stripes, decked out in regal maroon robes. The artist absolutely nailed the "I could kill you right now but I'd rather finish my drink" energy — that tiger-skull shoulder piece is such a nice touch for a creature that's basically a predator playing dress-up as royalty.
