So my party just reached level 19 last session and the party’s Druid pulled me aside to ask if his character could wish to make the effects of his current casting of Regeneration permanent and I told him I’d think about it, should I allow this?, what do you think?

Our campaign takes place in an East Asian homebrew setting set in about the equivalent to the 1940’s. The party just purchased an old run down and abandoned samurai castle to use as their new bastion but have to go through and clear it out first of whatever Yokai and other denizens have taken up residence there in the last 40 years since it was abandoned.

All the terrain is 3d printed and hand painted. Most of it came from 3dalienworlds who do amazing Japanese terrain.

Shout out to my awesome wife for the hours she spent helping me paint it all!

Hello everyone, I am a relatively new DM as I have only paid to play at the local store for about 3 months but noticed people in my area posting wanting a DM so i decided to step up to the plate.

I have been hosting games every Friday night for about 2 months now and would like your feedback about dealing with a certain player and seeing if this is a normal behavior in the DND world.

One of our players who is a perfectly cool guy in all other aspects of the game is playing a Barbarian and every single time he uses the rage ability he screams at the top of his lungs for a solid 4 seconds.

Now I enjoy getting into the role playing aspect of the game but this has come by surprise a few times as he doesn't provide any warning ahead of time and will do it literally every single time he uses the rage ability.

I notice some of the players getting alarmed and making eyes when he does this so I was wondering how would one respond to this or if I should say anything at all as it could just be someone really enjoying the game.

Any feedback at all would be great thanks.

The main issues

1. Why exactly am I the one dealing with the world ending threat at lvl 14 instead of the level 20 guys of the world?
2. We were on good terms with Melf (THE Melf) in our campaign. More often than not when something came up our group went "Let's contact Melf" (Or other powerful npc)

Of course when you start campaign you get tasks that those who give them to you could do easily them selves but simply couldn't be bothered. But when you get into that world ending campaign end territory It just broke any immersion for me why our lvl 14 group was dealing with it instaed of those powerhouses

EDIT: Since all the answers are pretty much the same "The level 20 characters have more important things to do"
We TPKd, world ended, they all died as a direct result of us dying/failing

I've been DMing for about 18 years, and I can honestly say I've never had a campaign end quite like this.
For context, we were playing Curse of Strahd (2014, 5e). One of my players was running a warlock who, over the course of the campaign, became one of the greatest agents of pure chaos I've ever seen.
This character started the campaign by adopting an altar boy.
They somehow negotiated ownership of one of the Vistani horses.
They became the party's primary diplomat, regularly talking enemies down and making deals I never expected.
Then came the Blue Water Inn.
Through a spectacular combination of a backfired love potion, several absurdly high Persuasion rolls, and everyone leaning into the chaos, the session somehow devolved into a mass wedding ceremony. Random NPCs were marrying other NPCs, party members were accidentally getting married, enemies become lovers, everyone was jealous and the barbarian married a dragon. By the end of it our cleric had basically officiated the most dysfunctional wedding Barovia had ever seen.
It was glorious.
One of my favorite running jokes was that the warlock kept making little friendship bracelets and handing them out to NPCs and party members. Secretly, I planned to reward everyone still wearing one at the end of the campaign with a special boon.
Then the Amber Temple happened.
One of the party members fell through a collapsing floor, so everyone climbed down to rescue them.
That was when the warlock encountered one of the Dark Gifts.
They failed the saving throw.
Normally this wouldn't have been a problem. This player practically lived off Inspiration because they constantly elevated the table and deserved every point they earned.
Except...
Earlier that same session, they'd burned every last point of Inspiration trying to Counterspell a Fireball which they were successful at.
So this time there was no safety net.
The Dark Gift took hold.
The warlock became evil.
Chaos ensued.
Instead of taking control of the character myself, I let the player roleplay the corruption.
The table immediately realized what was happening and Initiative was rolled.
Now here's where everything fell apart.
The party consisted of:
A Light Cleric
A Bard
A Fighter
A Barbarian
And of course The Warlock
The warlock also happened to be the only party member with Counterspell.
On their first turn they teleported to the perfect position.
Then they cast darkness.
Then Silence.
Suddenly both spellcasters were blinded, unable to speak, and completely shut down.
No verbal components.
No Counterspell.
No healing.
No control spells.
Meanwhile the fighter and barbarian were left blindly swinging into magical darkness with disadvantage.
It was a complete tactical nightmare.
At this point Strahd himself arrived.
The players immediately panicked.
"Great... now Strahd is here."
Nope.
He didn't attack.
He didn't interfere.
He simply stood there watching.
Honestly, after everything this warlock had put him through over the campaign, I figured Strahd would absolutely enjoy watching his greatest nuisance destroy the party for him.
So he just... watched.
I like to imagine Rahadin asking if they should intervene.
Strahd simply replying:
"Absolutely not."
Several brutal rounds later...
Everyone was dead.
The campaign ended not with Strahd defeating the heroes...
...but with the party's lovable friendship bracelet making diplomat accidentally becoming the final boss because of one failed saving throw! After 18 years of DMing, I don't think I'll ever top that ending.
Sometimes the dice write a better story than any DM ever could.

Edit: Since a few people have asked, the player behind the warlock gave me permission to share their Twitch.
If you have questions about what was going through their mind during the Amber Temple, how they played the character throughout the campaign, or you just want to support an incredibly entertaining roleplayer, feel free to check them out on Twitch:

They had no idea the campaign was going to end this way, and honestly, neither did I. The dice told the story, and they leaned into it perfectly. It ended up becoming one of the most memorable campaigns I've ever run.

me personally I love DMs that are good with descriptions and encourage role playing :D

I drew the map over a half hour while one player threw a character together. Didn't mess up the counting once. It was a pretty basic thing. I grabbed a map from my random encounter book and but some goblins hob goblins and bug bears with the goal to clear it out for the local army who can't be bothered. They just barely survived and had a great time. He normally plays with us online but got to do this in person. He very much enjoyed it as well as my other player. We ate some sushi at a place then played this for about 3 hours if you include me drawing this map. It was probably the best stealth I've seen managed in dnd. Didn't get caught till they stealth killed half they guys

I got a LOT of requests to paint a Flumph in my style, so here he is. I went very far outside my comfort zone with this one, but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I actually didn’t know a lot about Flumphs before I did this, I never used them in a campaign before. I just knew them from their art in the 5e monster manual. But having done a ton of research for this painting, I see why people love them so much now. A really leaned into the jellyfish inspiration, reimagining their spikes as stingers. I also gave them a more alien, snail-like eye stalks. I always felt the 5e ones were a bit cartoon-y for my liking.

Originally I had painted him pink because Flumphs change colors based on their emotion, pink being joy and excitement. But literally every official piece of art of them is yellow and it just didn’t look like a Flumph when he was pink.

What monster should I paint next?
