I don't trust digital dice rollers. I can't see the RNG, so it always feels off. So I built a dumb little thing that rolls real dice in my garage and sends you back the photo and video as proof: https://icanroll.com

It's free. Solo project in my free time, so bear with me, only a d20 and a d6 are wired up right now, and I'm adding more dice as fast as I can build (and afford) the hardware.

If y'all actually care about it I'll keep posting updates here and on the site. Feedback welcome, would love to know what's broken or what would make this actually useful at your table.

GIVEAWAY: Voragheel, the Vampire Dragon

To enter the giveaway, leave one first-level comment on this post.

Help keep this comment visible so the giveaway rules and entry details are easy to find for everyone.

With Archvillain Encounters: Death & Beyond now live on Gamefound, we are giving away one huge Voragheel miniature, professionally painted by the Minis for War, ready to dominate the table or display shelf.

Here’s the link to our campaign: https://gamefound.com/projects/archvillain-games/archvillain-encounters-death--beyond?refcode=-92s1a9jd0G3DTQXCEkoYw

The raffle will take place after the Early Bird period has ended, on Saturday, May 16, at 7:00 PM EEST / 4:00 PM UTC.

A mausoleum was built to keep him buried.

It failed.

Voragheel is one of the dark-fantasy boss miniatures featured in the campaign. You can see him, along with more 5E boss encounters, miniatures, battlemaps, lore, adventures, and campaign content here.

Once a mighty shadow dragon, Voragheel was betrayed by the Shepherds, an ancient vampiric order that feared his rule over the night. They entombed him beneath a mausoleum soaked in blood rites and let his name fade into myth.

But the rituals never truly ended. Century after century, spilled blood seeped into the crypt below until death itself gave way. Voragheel rose again as a vampiric horror, crimson-scaled and ancient-eyed, no longer driven by hunger, but by vengeance.

The painted giveaway PVC miniature measures approximately:

Head to base: 6.8 inches / 17.3 cm
Base to top of wing: 10.2 inches / 25.9 cm
Wingspan: 13.5 inches / 34.3 cm

Unpainted versions of Voragheel are also available through the Archvillain Encounters: Death & Beyond Gamefound campaign, along with the material needed to bring him into your 5E games.

To enter the giveaway, leave one first-level comment on this post.

You can comment with anything, but if you want to make it thematic, tell us what kind of party you think would survive opening Voragheel’s tomb. That would be interesting!

“Oh, hi there, little buddy! You’re so cute! Let me just—AAAAAAAGGGGGHHH, NOOOOOOO!” These are the last words of the most recent person to die to the doom duck. Don’t let its cuteness fool you, this duck is actually a demon in disguise. Those downy feathers? Razor-sharp. That cute quack? An earthquake trigger. Those adorable eyes? Lasers. You see this monster, you run for your QUACKing life.

The doom duck was created by Felix Irnich and illustrated by Justin Chan for Fool's Gold: Into the Bellowing Wilds.

Meet Gabriella Sylpherena, my latest original character, a Half-Elf Bard. She represents a perfect blend of elven elegance and human energy, always ready to turn secrets and legends into captivating melodies for anyone willing to listen.

I’ve been truly enjoying spending my time creating these illustrations for my own characters lately. It is such a rewarding process to see each of them come to life with their own unique personality and style through my art. It gives me a chance to really dive deep into their stories and imagine how they would interact with the world.

What do you think of Gabriella’s design and concept? If you enjoy this type of post, I’d love to share the character sheets for the other party members I’m currently developing. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Vane was the prodigy of the Amethyst Order, a clan of hemomancers who used blood control exclusively for healing. During a devastating plague, while his masters sacrificed their own vitality to save the sick, Vane discovered a dark satisfaction in feeling the power flow through his hands. He realized that instead of giving his life away, he could accumulate the lives of others.

Betraying his oath, he stole and perverted the clan's medical instruments, creating a suction apparatus attached to a reservoir on his back. Armed with a pneumatic syringe, Vane began to forcibly extract blood from his victims, treating every life as a disposable resource to fuel his own arcane vigor. Today, he wanders the world as a predatory physician, collecting rare essences in pursuit of divine immortality, leaving behind only pale and empty husks.

What do you guys think?

Just a funny story about how giants in my game became unable to lie.

It all started when my party entered a castle built in giant proportions. They did some exploring and learned the castle was home to a giant, so naturally they wanted to do some nature checks to see what they knew about giants before they went in to negotiate.

They rolled pretty high, so I asked them what they wanted to know about giants. They asked what giants were into, what they liked and disliked. In my head I said "giants are big so they like big things". But what came out of my millennial mouth was "they like big butts, and they cannot lie". So there's two facts about giants I guess.

What sealed the deal was the players' reaction. The tiefling fighter immediately stood up and started doing lunges and squats to get that post workout booty pump. When I say she stood up and did this, I mean the player stood up and did lunges and squats in the middle of the living room. I had to give her advantage on the performance check plus inspiration of course.

Needless to say, the giant was impressed with the buns on the fighter and spoke only the truth during the negotiation.

Hello!! Recently i DM'd a pretty long combat, five players each of them level five. It was very fun despite the players having an easy time! But after deciding if i leveled them up or not, it left me wondering - how long do combats take when the party of four is level 20? This is just out of curiosity. Thanks!

I don’t play casters. I think spell lists are hard to manage, I’d like to play one, but I think I need more experience before I play any of them.
