Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

I've seen dozens of tables where the DM will ask some variation of "how do you slay it?" when a PC drops a bad guy to 0hp. Those moments tend to be the ones where I see players get excited, because they get to express something about their character in a generally cool or fun way. So after 6 years of forever DMing for 3 different groups, I decided to test out some new ways to incorporate opportunities for players to express how their character does a thing.

My attempts have been pretty hit or miss, with the exception of asking characters how they dodge/block/or tank a hit. It has been a ton of fun as a DM listening to the players describe how their high AC paladin doesn't flinch after taking 6 hits to the plate, or how the monk effortlessly moves out of the way when the boss swings and misses with their club. I usually limit the question to when multiple attacks miss the character's AC (for expediency and novelty), and the feedback so far has been great.

Does anyone else have things you do at your tables to encourage character expression?

Having put a pause on painting warhammer Ive started painting up some more D&D minis and I thought id jump back into it with one of my favourite monsters, the Rhemorahz!

I love the changes they made to it in 5.5e, it feels significantly more deadly. Im really looking forward to using it at some point on the tabletop. Though my players are currently in the desert so it might take a while before they meet one of these, unless....

I wonder what a desert version of these would be like, anyone have ideas of how to make a desert Rhemorahz? I feel like it would fit in well as a smaller burrowing monster to a purple worm, something between a worm and a bulette.

First off, the winner of last week's giveaway: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/1wdelhm

Congratulations, u/LazyMax666! I'll be reaching out to you to get the necessary information to fulfill this giveaway.

A little while ago, I came out with the Magical Code of Regulations, 500 pages of law governing the use of magic. It started as a fun little project while I was working as an auditor at the IRS, and turned into a whole worldbuilding project I don't think I'll ever truly stop. It has laws governing everything ranging from necromancy, magical conservation easements, and familiars, to dragons, fireballs, and Chosen Ones. Great for D&D players and DMs, lawyers, accountants, worldbuilders, fantasy writers, and people that just want a really cool coffee table book. I promise it is the most in-depth magical law you've ever read.

Here's what some people have had to say about it:

"An unnecessarily comprehensive and deeply inconvenient framework. Several of my longstanding plans now require prior authorization." -Glorgon the Destroyer, Antagonistic Entity of Prophetic Significance #33

"Clear, thorough, and appropriately burdensome. I have no notes, though I will be requesting additional documentation." -Arthur B. Wexler, Senior Auditor, Department of Magical Affairs

Since release, I've made nearly 5k sales, this book is #1 on IngramSpark in fantasy over the last 90 days (for you booksellers looking for a cool book for your store), and will even have an officially licensed Chinese edition on the way (more details to come later)!

As a way to give back a bit, I will be giving away one signed copy of my book with a free digital version, a customizable authorized spellcaster license, a few stickers and a bookmark, and a no-change audit letter. All you have to do to enter is comment below! The winner will be selected randomly on 9/25 using redditraffler, with only caveat being that your account must be at least 3 months old.

I appreciate all the support I've gotten from this community and others over the past couple of years, and if you'd like to support this project independent of this giveaway, you can find the Code at the following links:

Amazon (preferred): https://www.amazon.com/Magical-Code-Regulations-Spellcasting-Regulation/dp/B0GZF9PVQL?maas=maas_adg_47FC0A8EE6B4473FD3BD31EA1AC9CE35_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas

NOTE: If the shipping seems extremely expensive, you may need to go to your country's storefront. If you live in the EU and your country doesn't have one, Germany (amazon.de) is usually best. I'll try my best to find options for anyone that has trouble getting it!

DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com//product/566282/the-magical-code-of-regulations?affiliate_id=5121378

Can also be found on TikTok, but I run out of stock often there (too expensive to always be ordering copies myself).

If you're still not convinced, and wanted a sneak-peek, Questing Beast made a great video on it!

If you're still not convinced, know that the second edition will make ownership of the MCOR compulsory, so you might as well give in now.

No other notes today other than to make good decisions and to remember your ABCs: Always. Be. Compliant.

Stitched together from vibrant threads, warm fabrics and boundless optimism, Happilee is a Threadborn Warlock bound to the Great Fool.

Can't wait for the start of our Crooked Moon campaign!

Hey everyone! I’m Alessandra, in the last 2 years my DnD group and I have been building a DnD tool called Dungeon’s Desk.

The idea is pretty simple and the website is easy to understand and navigate, so I won’t overdo presentations.
You can create and manage characters, campaigns, monsters, items, locations and DM tools in one place, with real-time features made to support your game at the table.
Players, on the other hand, can play in real time and manage their adventure, build, items, character’s sheet and anything else they need.

It’s completely free, and we’re continuously adding new features.

If anyone wants to give it a try, we’d really appreciate hearing what works, what doesn’t, or what you’d like to see added.

If you want some more info you can feel free to DM me to ask!

Here’s the link: www.dungeonsdesk.com

Hey, everyone!

Recently, Antonio Demico, the guy from the Pointy Hat YouTube channel, posted a video (well, a two hour and a half documentary) about the Satanic Panic. It was really interesting and I got curious about people's experiences during this period. How did y'all got into the game, or kept playing it, how it was like to get things for the game, if it made you question your hobby, or if it made you go looking for it later... anyways, whatever stories you have about that. I also wanted to know if it was a thing outside the USA, and if not, how was it like in the 80s (if it was popular, how did you learnt about it, yada yada), and maybe how we're you like as a person (if you were politically involved, or somewhat of a rebel, stuff like that)

I'm an IR major, studying how important is soft power, and I also think that insight on not mainstream nerd culture may be useful for a few analysis (but its mostly out of curiosity on the theme lol)

Anyways, thanks in advance for your help :)

I'm sharing this cuz I think it's funny. So we have a party with the druid, wizard, artificer, soulknife skill monkey, and Paladin/Bard. So we'll all fight something like a death tyrant and or purple worm and when it's the rogue's turn, he'll be like " all I have is daggers so I'll throw one" meaning that he's the only one that doesn't have spells. He even turned down a javelin of lightning cuz it just didn't feel Rogue enough for him.

And this complaining happens every session. Our DM lets us respec our characters at level up, if we feel that we need to. The wizard did it, so at 9th level, he switched to seven levels of wizard and two of warlock but it also had to do with the story.

So last time the Rogue complained about using daggers instead of spells, we asked him, why don't you just respec to arcane trickster? His response was that he just likes the idea of complaining about not being a spellcaster all the way to level 20. LOL. Ok, fine with us.

Hello! Please be nice as I know just about nothing about DnD. 🫣

My 11 year old niece was being bullied in school, but has found refuge in a DnD group and loves it. She's made some great friends and it is giving her confidence in school. She's still new to it, though she has said she is a dragon themed druid. As I don't know what is needed for the game, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for an age appropriate gift that is DnD related. It could be something she needs for the game or just something fun that's related. I don't think she has anything yet and everything belongs to the school group. Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated!
