Valour is a homebrew Tiefling mapped with glowing red circuitry and defined by a shredded, scarred physique. She dominates the battlefield with mechanical wings feathered in magenta energy and a distinctive tail that vents excess system heat as bursts of fire. Her gear tells a story of survival. Yet, amidst the chrome and grit, she maintains a quiet ritual. She meticulously styles her hair and applies improvised makeup, a desperate daily act to preserve her sense of self and remind her that a living soul still burns beneath the metal.

Hi there,

I'm here to present one of my favorite paper miniature sets from last year.

As you can see in the picture, it's a group of eight cute kobolds, including some adorable little dragon people armed with knives, a sling, a sword, a club, a spear, and a shield. There is also a mad inventor, a winged stabber, and a powerful sorcerer. Each mini also comes with a back view and is available in six color variations.

For this set and many more, please take a look at my Patreon.

My tiers range from $1 to $3, and you gain access to over 300 miniatures.
New ones are released in sets each month.

I wanna keep this story short as it's not really big, but I'm wondering how you guys would feel about this because I'm genuinely so disappointed I kinda lost the will to play.

We've spent the previous 3 session in a mage dungeon. We're a level 4 party. During our adventure we lost one character, burnt all consumables we had and basically found out some lore and had a few fun interactions but we didn't push the main story further in itself. When we were done and rescued a prisoner, he took us to his house and let us choose from a bunch of very cool and expensive stuff.

The paladin chose a plate armor set, as he was still in chain mail. It was a +2 set as well, so very expensive (although there really isn't anywhere to sell it, as a kind of a balancing act, which I understand and accept, even thinking that's a good idea) and gave the pally 20 AC.

The wizard got a ring allowing him to cast three useful 2nd level spells "at will" once each per Long Rest.

The bard got a homebrew 'evil eye' kind of an item allowing him to distract people he's talking to in order to gain +X (I don't remember how much, I think +5) on charisma-based rolls a few times per long rest.

And the barbarian got a +1 axe which also has a random chance to deal 1d8 force damage (basically roll a d20 every time you hit an enemy, 11+ = additional 1d8 force damage).

Very cool. For level 4 there are good and fun items which we loved and we even talked a bit after the session about how we're going to use them and have fun with trying them out. The paladin even drew their character in the new shining armor lol.

Fast forward to our current session. It's evening, we head to the city and the first thing the paladin does is go sell his chain mail for some additional cash. We go to get some long rest in a tavern. At that moment the DM wakes us up and tells us that the items are gone. They were just a mirage or whatever. So now not only do we not have our very cool stuff that we were super excited to don and play around with, we also have to scrap together all of our money to buy the paladin his chainmail back.

For God's sake man, why would you do that. I know it's just items and we probably will get some fun stuff, but this was such a mood killer, that was the most sour session I've ever participated in. I think most of us would rather not get anything at all than have to deal with this bollocks. We also (story-wise) ended up not benefitting at all from the whole 3-session long dungeon escapade. I guess I need someone to tell me if I'm overreacting or not because I genuinely kinda just want to throw in the towel

I have been playing tabletop RPGs all my life and i have come to understand that its a collabrative story telling game. Like i understand characters not knowing everything about other characters thats just part of the story. But i have seen a bunch of stories of people hiding their character sheets and just lying to the table (sometimes even the dm which is just straight up not allowed). Which would just annoy me given that if theres a secret about a character if all of the players know about it they can make it a much more exciting story and play into it.

So our 5e group finished our Tyranny of Dragons campaign last year, and our DM decided to make his own figurine for the epic final battle. Our group kind of messed up in our attempt to prevent her summoning so of course our level 13 group (kind of large group, not gonna lie) had the daunting prospect of facing Tiamat in battle.

As we started the epic final battle our DM drops this masterpiece right onto our battle map. We lost it.

At any rate, after a truly an epic battle, with the aid of a few allies, we successfully defeated her, with my Harengon Bladesinger landing the final blow. Of course, that meant I got to keep Tiamat, who now lives on my gaming shelf. I love her so much!

Quote: "My face is just a face. It does not mean I am angry. But if you kick that machine one more time... then I will be angry. Then you will cry."

Born among the volcanic highlands of Sanuntara, Gilang Palabatu was forged in the heat of the earth and the cold discipline of the ancient forges. A master craftsman of the Batak tradition, he views engineering not merely as a science, but as a spiritual duty to honor the materials of the world. His title, "Sing Kulite Gajah" (The Anvil of the Elephant), was earned not through sheer volume, but through his unyielding resolve, standing firm like a mountain when the world crumbles around him.

I made this for a friend of mine who played in a Westmarch Campaign. There's Like 30 players on it. It's very interesting fusing Indonesian Traditional design (specifically Batak culture) to the design.

Reposting cause I forgot the tag [comm] hope this is okay now 😭

This is a commission I did for zaddex12, featuring their OC of the Xio species. Xio are symbiotic beings that bond with a host, relying on them to interact with the world while offering protection, strength, or control in return. Some Xio coexist with willing hosts, while others are known to dominate or fully puppeteer them. Their oily, living flesh and insect-like carapace reflect this parasitic nature, allowing them to adapt easily to different environments. This character embodies the unsettling balance between elegance, dependency, and quiet control typical of her species.

What’s a decision you made when putting a campaign together that made you facepalm in hindsight? Or something you regret having to talk about over and over again? Maybe you gave your players too much leeway and they made you pay for it.

Let’s hear some horror stories!

ETA: I don’t work for buzzfeed and this post won’t end up on a compiled list. I’m getting ready to run my first homebrewed campaign after running a few modules and world building has me burnt out.

i've recently started sculpting modern D&D miniatures for a modern-setting campaign I'm doing, and... obviously, it's extremely homebrew. My friends and I like it a lot, and I like making the miniatures for it. It seems you guys like them a lot too... but some of you really, really don't. I've never had haters on my socials before, but now, for the first time, I get mean, weird, cringe comments saying D&D is exclusively high fantasy. It's to the point where I get people DMing me saying my stuff isn't D&D. And yeah, I guess, but I see D&D as more of a game system rather than an exclusive world. But at the same time, there's literally spaceships and aliens in D&D already, so these people confuse me a lot 😅
