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.

A portrait study I made recently.
Seraphine. A light-purple-skinned tiefling woman born into nobility, she was raised among wealth, etiquette, and expectations, yet chose a path entirely her own. With long, light hair, elegant horns, and an inquisitive nature, she is endlessly drawn to secrets and forbidden knowledge. Her warlock powers stem from a strong bond with something alluringly dark—an enigmatic presence that fascinates her as much as it unsettles her. She seeks to understand it, even at the risk of losing herself.

I have been playing for 8 years at conventions and stuff. Heard and seen a lot over the years.

I think the most incredulous thing I heard was a player say "DM, I want to make a dungeon and run it" and I said "yeah sure let me know when you’re ready and we'll make a day for it. What level were you thinking?"

And he said "oh, I meant I wanted to make one in-game. I'm a level 10 Wizard and I want to use my downtime to make a dungeon, and traps, and buy monsters, and watch the other players go through it."

I told him "I'm not gonna make a dungeon for your character where I build a one-shot for your Wizard and then let him pull all the levers behind the curtian. You are describing being a DM for a one-shot. If you want, we can make it in-universe, but it is something you are going to do, not me."

He never ran the dungeon.

Stopped playing with him a few months later lol.

This is Koko my latest derpy character this is an old concept that i developed 1 year ago after dealing with a lot of struggles i decided to gave him a rework and finally finish this , he is a merchant and also an albino Kobold .

i imagine him beign a potential party member trying always to sell something to one of his companion and bringing them cool items . he may look silly but he is very smart

Hi All,

The characters are in a chamber full of devils and fiends and everyone is taking heavy damage. The sorcerer casts a wish:

"I wish: for everyone in this room, who is not in my party, to fall into a deep and uninterruptible sleep for an hour"

If you were DM'ing, how would you interpret this Wish?

Edit 1:

Thank you all for your input, it's been much appreciated. Now that I have people's opinions, here's what happened.

So... our DM decided that the spell wasn't specific enough. Since everyone in this chamber had to be admitted first and given a stamp on their hand to show valid entry, he decided that: "my party" could mean anyone in this room with that stamp. Therefore, he fizzled the spell.

I know this is a small amount of additional information, but was it really relevant? 🤷‍♂️

Edit 2:

A lot of people are saying that this was possibly to allow for an easy kill of the enemies. I can see how that could be interpreted that way. The uninterruptible was so we could escape and if anyone came into the room and tried to kick awake the sleeping devils/fiends, they couldn't immediately wake up and chase us. I certainly like some of the interpretations of how to make it an uninterruptible sleep.

Edit 3:

One of the other player's wanted their opinion on this to be stated:

So! Ive started a new campaign that i cant attend all the time due to university starting 😭

Shes a half tiefling and half high elf eloquence bard! She is a fire dancer and has burns from accidentally messing up from time to time! She comes from quite a noble family in the region where she is from but she knows more of her elven heritage than her infernal heritage.

Her style consists of alot of gold including jewels wrapped around her horns and golden rings on her fingers. Her clothes are light and moveable!

Well after my last post blew up over night (thank you so much for that?!)😭🫶🏻🫣

I decided to share where her main design came from!

This is from a custom dnd Conan exiles server I played her on a year or two ago! They had a lot of amazing mods, including a custom combat system for spells and special weapons for all the classes!

It was here that I learned about the Circle of Stars druid class, and changed her from a Life cleric/Druid multi-class, to a full class druid!

She originally was a multi-class of druid and a Life domain cleric, wanting to tap into the part of her backstory of being a follower of Dionysus. However, after character growth through a game or two (before trying the Conan server) it just felt like I was juggling too much trying to keep the “flare” of having a multi-classed character.

So I just simplified her now, and honestly circle of stars druid fits her SO well with the tie in to her following of Dionysus too! 🫶🏻

(There are more details obviously to see here, that were not on the previous art I shared, due to the artist simplifying her design a touch 😅)

To clarify from my last post:

~she is NOT packing (lmaoooo)😂
~the metal piece at her front lower was supposed to be a cute metal flower on her loincloth/belt thingy as you see here in these photos
~yes I named her after the movie because it carries a special place in my heart, and it’s fun to remind people of it when they hear her name 🫶🏻
~And yeah I see the resemblance to Faerne from Critical Role after looking her up, she’s so pretty and honestly kinda honored to be associated with her design! Haha 🥰🙏🏻

Hello! Today I'm posting a NPC I made for my campaign! Eldreith here is a warforged made within a family of dwarves/tieflings, who uh, ended up with quite the demonic appearance herself over time as she tried to kind of tap into the devil heritage, re-building her body over the years for that purpose. It's kind of weird to explain without context but let's just say she's been through a lot (and dwarven lore in my campaign is kind of wacky)

She was actually made as an antagonist within one of the PC's backstories, but not exactly a... Villain, as the PC was probably far more morally questionable than her. It isn't all that clear whether she's actually alive or not, as the PC did try to murder her, but suffice to say, if she's alive that Oath of Vengeance is aimed towards the PC! Who may have killed her de-facto sibling! Fun times all around!

My party is soon going to arrive in a city that has been infiltrated by a sinister force that demands their prisoners at such a high rate that the normal crime rate can’t even keep up. So this city has a large amount of laws that are designed to be complicated, stupid, and easy to trap people with.

So if anyone would want to help come up with a series of laws with me that would be super helpful.
