Reimagined my first dnd character! For reference, here's her original design. Cute, but that was the problem. It was cute :(

Grillo (cricket in spanish) is a neutral, sometimes chaotic evil-leaning character. She used to be a seamstress who was outcasted for stealing materials, and it's on community service to make up for it. She loves showing off her bounty as if they were the most interesting pieces you could lay your puny eyes on, without noticing nobody gives a shit.

She is vile, uninterested, lazy, loves pulling teeth and spines from her fallen foes, and has a small collection of gold trinkets. So to simplify, she's 20cm (I think that's 7.8 inches) of egocentrism.

...therefore, it made no sense that she looked like a cute bug girl, so I changed her design to be more like a green bug, swapped her colored beads to golden jewelry, removed her aviator hat, so now she looks less prepared and more "on the go" and slightly adjusted her face so it's easier to make her expressive. (You don't know how difficult it is to draw an expressive character when you choose not to give them eyebrows, so I gave her a pair)

"Kyju" is her real name which means cricket in guaraní (an indigenous dialect mainly from some South American countries) but since she's a pixie, she chose to give a fake name, wink wink.

So that's my little essay on my Kyju! I love this girl. Bad thing she's currently inactive lol

A female tiefling character art I did quite a while ago. She's a cocky yet confident red tiefling who, for better or worse, accidentally awakened her power due to a traumatic event.

One of her most striking features is a large, glowing golden spectral horn emerging from her broken right horn. Radiating from her heart are lines of glowing golden light that cover her body, almost like veins or circuitry, stopping just below her neck.

The character owner never told me what her class was supposed to be, but I was told that she's very athletic and shows signs of lots of physical activity. So, I imagine she's somewhere between a fighter and a sorcerer, given her physical build and visual traits.

Pretty much all off my campaign where pretty traditional:

clear villain

clear objective

lots of combat

players followed the story

This campaign turned into something completely different. There isn't really a BBEG. Instead, the world has multiple factions, each believing they are saving it.

One order believes an ancient red-haired boy will eventually reset the world and they want to stop it.

Another order believes that reset is actually necessary.

A hag doesn't care about either side and simply enjoys manipulating people.

Kings are busy fighting wars over land, resources and prejudice.

Ancient beings may or may not actually be responsible for any of this.

The strange thing is...

My players haven't picked a side.

Instead they basically said:

"We don't care who's right. Ronnie (the boy) is our priority."

That wasn't planned!

One player even told me after the session:

"If something happens to Ronnie, I honestly think my character would simply go home broken and I'd roll a new character."

As a DM that's probably the biggest compliment I've ever received.

But it's also terrifying.

Because I don't know if this campaign should even have a traditional final villain anymore.

It feels like the climax should come from the players deciding who to trust, rather than who to kill.

Has anyone here run a campaign without a true BBEG?

Did it work?

What made the ending satisfying?

So I'm designing the personal castle of a 1000 year old archmage that vanished, and the question arises. Where do the poops go?

Prestidigitation? Magical chamber pot? I feel like he would have evolved past pooping somehow, but how would you mechanically do that in 5e or some homebrew framework?

I know I'm overthinking it, but I'm genuinely curious now. Where should the poo go?

The castle is within his personal demiplane if that makes any difference.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my latest personal project—a Dragonborn Barbarian inspired by D&D.

This is a **3D fan recreation** based on an original 2D character design by **[tung-6458]**. I absolutely loved the concept and wanted to challenge myself by bringing it into a fully realized 3D character while staying as faithful to the original design as possible.

My main goal was to capture the rugged, battle-hardened feel through detailed armor, worn leather, realistic materials, and a strong silhouette.

I'd love to hear what you think! Feedback is always welcome.

I recently moved states and have been playing at a game shop to meet people out here. Now, the people there are great. The staff is friendly, the players and dms are generally fun to be around and we have a great time. It's usually non serious one shots full of laughter. But, they advertise on their website that game nights are 5.5e, RAW. They don't mention anything about there being house rules. One of them being, of course, critical fumbles.

I truly don't understand the appeal of critical fumbles. It simply punishes players for picking martials and achieves little else. As someone who prefers playing martials and the occasional warlock, I'm supposed to be fine with essentially being nerfed compared to spellcasters. I'm supposed to believe that my character, who has been training with weapons their entire lives and has seen many battles is somehow dropping his weapon mid combat, or stabbing himself, or accidentally slicing his ally open because I'm using a cleave weapon 5% of the time in every single encounter. I mean, come on man. We were just facing the BBEG in on of our one shots and the barbarian accidentally cleaved into me with his great axe, bringing me to 0 hp and barely scratching the enemy. Yeah, I'd totally party up with that guy in the future.

All this to say, I argued that I'm fine with the house rule as long as it's applied equally. Spellcasters also face critical fumbles when making a spell attack. Ok, that happens maybe once per round whereas it can happen to martials at least twice at the same level. There's already a higher chance to be affected by it. As a spellcaster, I'd simply only use save spells going forward, which some of them have began doing. I argued that then we should start critically fumbling when the enemy scores a nat 20 on their save. Then it'd start to be somewhat equal. Even though martials still have a higher chance of screwing up badly.

No one agreed to this, told me it was just a game and just for fun and don't take it too seriously and etc. I argued that yeah it's just a game, but I wouldn't play a game of monopoly if I started with $0 and in debt every single turn. Keep in mind this wasn't that big of an argument as we were all still laughing and joking in between, no one really got upset or anything. But, can someone please explain how critical fumbles are remotely fun, or balanced, or how everyone could possibly be playing by the same rules when we're literally just actually not?

I have half a mind just to bring in a halfling divination wizard with lucky and silvery barbs next time lol.

I’m DMing my second game for a group of real life friends, and I’m having a blast. I already feel more confident, quicker on my feet, and less hesitant than I did the first time.

I’m also deep in the D&D honeymoon phase and can’t stop thinking about it. Our game was postponed this week, so how do you scratch the DMing itch between sessions? Is there a good way to practice besides watching videos and reading?
