 Color changing dice [OC]

After 6 months of trial and error i finally managed to craft some pretty awesome color changing dice. This one is the big D20 version. Also made 3 normal size sets and 2 other Big D20s.

After 6 months you would be amazed on the amount of dice prototypes that i made but failed to create the color change i was looking for. They can be used just like normal dice. Hold them in your hand, shake them in your hand and then roll on the table or dice tray and watch how now you have a diffrent color dice on the table. After you rolled them they go back pretty fast to the original color. It takes about 10-15 seconds for them to go back to original color.

I am really curious what yall think about this ?

I also launched a kickstarter campaign if anyone is interested in having these in their collection ♥️

 One of my players is refusing to read the player's handbook

Author: /u/Numerous_Payment1713https://www.reddit.com/user/Numerous_Payment1713

I will be a first time DM in a week DM'ing a group of first time players(my cousins), but one of them refuses to read the player's handbook, I gave the job of making him read the handbook to his brother(another player) how can I make him learn the rules and create a character if he still refuses to read the book

update: I issued an ultimatum at him, he has until session 0 to read the book or he won't join, his brother says that he will make him read it, I guess only time will tell

 How often are your players leaving the table during a session?
Posted: 2026-06-20T13:25:10+00:00
Author: /u/Deadeye10000https://www.reddit.com/user/Deadeye10000

Hey, so this has never really happened when I played at other tables so I wasn't sure what the normal expectation is. And I don't want to say anything and be a dick if this is normal.

One of my players has expressed frustration towards me about players constantly getting up from the table and honestly it's very distracting as a dm. One player brings their kid (about 12 yrs old) which is absolutely fine. However he's constantly getting up during fights, npc dialog, and lore to get his kid snacks, ice cream, food, and drink for his kid. Then when he gets up some other players get up to stretch and grab snacks. We had a 2 hour session and about 30 minutes of it was snack time. I've asked my players if they are enjoying the campaign and how I'm running it and they always can't wait until the next game.

Author: /u/ThatQuietCrowhttps://www.reddit.com/user/ThatQuietCrow

Once upon a time, there was a girl who wished she could cast spells. She wanted to learn the ways of magic, and so she wished in a wishing well.

She endured a horrible transformation - dreams to be a human wizard were wrecked when she looked in the mirror and saw a tiefling sorcerer staring back. She was cast out of her family, and is constantly scared of the very magic she produces.

Now, as the token lawful good member of the team, she ventures the faewild to try and get her humanity back.

(I wanted to share my character and her artwork somewhere! Been playing as her for almost two years now :))

 The Eversmoking bottle has been one of the most inconvenient magic items I have ever chosen
Posted: 2026-06-20T03:44:46+00:00
Author: /u/realSpillerSodahttps://www.reddit.com/user/realSpillerSoda

So I genuinely don't know if I'm just an idiot but the Eversmoking bottle has been one of the most inconvenient magic items I have ever used. The DM allowed us to have one uncommon magic item or two common magic items of our choosing at the start of the campaign. I joined the campaign late at level 6 I believe and since the DM mentioned a tournament arc coming up and my kenku rogue couldn't take a hit for shit, I decided to give them the Eversmoking bottle for protection (I lost the first fight against another player but I actually managed to put up a good fight thanks to that bottle)

Ever since then though, my party has been a little too unwilling to let me use it again. So much so that it's become a bit of a running joke at the table. I genuinely don't know if I'm just stupid (please feel free to roast me in the replies) but from my understanding of the bottle and the weird rules surrounding it

  • Bottle creates a heavily obscured area in a 60ft radius that increases as the rounds go on (has a max but combat rarely ever gets to that point)
  • Inside the smoke
    • Characters are blinded (disadvantage on attack roles and advantage on roles against you)
    • If both characters are blinded they cancel each other out and you roll normally
    • Since the Ranger in our group took the blind fighting style, he has advantage against enemies in his radius
    • Melee and ranged weapon attacks roll normally
    • Spells that require you to see the target are neutralized
  • Outside the smoke
    • Area is heavily obscured (attempts to see within it automatically fail)
    • Ranged attacks into the smoke fail and spells that require you to see the target fail as well

From my understanding, the bottle doesn't affect melee or ranged weapon attack roles so long as both targets are within the smoke and thus blinded but will interfere with spells that require you to see the target whether you are in or out of the smoke. That has made it pretty inconvenient for a lot of spellcasters in the group to the point where they are unwilling to let me use it. Even if I just rushed into the crowd away from the party and popped out the 60ft radius of smoke that way, it will still force the spellcasters in my group to disregard a lot of their spells and what they want to do

AOE spells are also ironically interfered with because you still need to choose a point and since you can't see into the fog and are blinded within the fog, there's a chance you can choose wrong and cause collateral damage or miss your target

It's gotten so complicated that I straight up forgot how it works at one point leading to a situation where our Gunslinger left the smoke to shoot something in the smoke because he thought being in the smoke gave him the disadvantage and not the other way around

I chose the Eversmoking bottle by virtue that I figured it would be useful for an immediate need but outside of the Tournament arc and one other instance where we could use it to protect our party's ship from ballistas and cannons, I haven't gotten a lot of use out of it

Like you know you chose something fucked when even the amazing DM that I'm playing with straight up tells you "Yeah you're in charge of figuring out how this damn bottle works because I do not have the patience for this"

The Eversmoking Bottle is one of the most inconvenient magic items I have ever had the misfortune of giving myself, either by virtue of it being a massive inconvenience to the rest of the party or by virtue of it being so intricately complicated, it makes trying to understand it a massive headache and misusing it far too easy (especially for someone like me who has only played like three proper campaigns in his life with two of them being cut short and the third unfortunately about to soon follow due to a move)

It's a good thing I got a Flame Tongue Rapier, wand of paralysis and a single scroll and potion because good lord has that bottle become a meme

Edit: I don't think a lot of you understand the situation. You're making a lot of focus on what I can benefit from when the point is it is inconvenient TO EVERYONE ELSE AT THE TABLE. It doesn't matter if I can make it work for myself. If it interferes with how others want to play, it turns me into a selfish player. Jesus

 Sahira [OC] [art]

Author: /u/Artisticjadehttps://www.reddit.com/user/Artisticjade

A new character design I did for fun but haven’t finished yet

Sahira is impulsive, fiercely competitive, and has a terrible habit of accepting all kinds of dangerous dares. Tell her she can’t do something, and she’ll try it on the spot, even if it’s stupid.
she came across a fox mask that carried the spirit of a legendary performer known only as Vespera.
The moment she puts it on, The loud, reckless Sahira disappears, replaced by someone unrecognizable, a calm, graceful figure who speaks with purpose and always seems three steps ahead.
The Fox is everything Sahira isn’t: patient, intelligent, composed, and dangerously charismatic.
Most people who know the stories of Vespera believe it’s one immortal performer who has appeared throughout history, always hidden behind the same mask.
No one would ever guess that beneath it is just Sahira.
A girl who once jumped off a roof because someone bet her she wouldn’t.
The irony is that Sahira desperately wants to become as skilled and respected as the figure inside the mask, while Vespera envies her freedom
(I know the mask barely covers her face, but I imagine its magic alters how people perceive her when she puts it on)

 As a DM, what is the most fitting way to follow through with the classic deal of "You must complete one favor of my choosing at any point in the future, one that doesn't involve directly harming anyone"?
Posted: 2026-06-20T13:28:08+00:00

My party made a deal with a devil, and now carry on with the looming threat of this general favor. What are some good ideas for making it impactful/seemingly-unfair, but also beneficial to the devil himself?
