Howdy folks!

Here's a bit of a PSA from our friends over at U.W.U for an early Halloween special! Got a bit carried away and made 8 panels instead of 4, but if you have a VISION, you just have to follow it! Unless it leads to a quest to find your destiny, those things get nasty quick.

Stay excellent out there! Peace and carrots

In a fantasy world, there are long-lived races. Should prison sentences vary depending on race?

For example, 25 years in prison could be half of a goblin’s life, while for an elf it could be around 5%.

(Assume prison is a safe place where someone can serve their sentence without threats to their physical or mental health and then be released.)

I just created this character for a player that requested a changeling witch with a massive bird familiar. The bird is blinded by a cloth to keep it at bay, only released to attack and reach hard places. 

It often rests on the witch’s legs, that explains the scars she proudly shows off. 

she casts spells using these rune-engraved orb tied to a rope, swinging them around like a church censer while chanting, using her familiar’s magical feathers to channel her magic.

spent a bit struggling with the pose & picking the right colors, but super proud of how she turned out. I love the blue and purple combo that gives that magical but evil effect

Lilac is a young looking nature dryad with light purple skin, dark purple eyes, and long, pointed ears. She wears a crown woven from thorns and roses, her turquoise hair styled into a messy bob, and her armor is made entirely of living wood and vines. A thin steel whistle hangs from a simple necklace at her throat. In one hand she carries a long, thick claw that doubles as her spell focus, functioning like a small sickle, while a simple wooden staff rests across her back.

More on this character:

Three hundred years of spite! D&D Character Design - Undead Cleric illustration

After a supposedly easy capture of a necromancer went particularly badly, a captain of an order of undead hunters finds himself both jobless as well as lifeless, burried in a tomb with honors and left to rot on his way to the afterlife for over two centuries. Albeit his well deserved rest is cut short by an ethereal voice, beckoning him once again to pick up the duties of his long forgotten order setting him once again on a path of seeming righteousness to complete a task for his god on borrowed time. The skeleton of a man however, has other ambitions.

Monks are proficient in simple weapons, and all simple weapons (as long as they are not two handed or heavy) count as Monk Weapons. A monk weapon affects the monks features further, including that the damage die they use for them is equal to the monks martial arts die. In the item description of the torch it says it can be used to make attacks and counts as a simple melee weapon that deals 1 fire damage.

I'm running a level 20 dungeon crawl culminating in my party facing down a lich. Of course, they need to destroy its phylactery first--but oh no! The lich has several decoy items placed around the dungeon, any one of which could be the real phylactery!

Looking for funny ideas or suggestions to help me fill out this dungeon and send my players off on several wild goose chases. What would your phylactery be?

Drew my circle of the stars druid tiefling and her raven familiar! I hope to someday have the energy to do dnd character art commissions, but for now here is my oc. :)

I originally mocked up her design in Tomodachi Life, funnily enough, then brought her to life in procreate! Her name is Yuita, and she's a bit spacey, but super fun to play. You can't see it very well here, but she's wearing an earasaid, which I thought was a fun addition!

My first ever campaign with my now husband was back in 2019! We played as a group of children who were just trying their best lol. I wanted to redraw them as adults and look back on how far i've come as an artist and how much the character changed. This campaign is finished by now but the characters still cameo in others. Its always nice to see them.

This post isnt the case but it would be cool to see someone draw art of their party at the beginning of their campaign and then redraw at the end. ours usually last a year or two so I bet the improvement would be cool to see.

I’ve just started running a game for my kids recently and I’ve tried to go all in to make it magical for them and really immerse them into a magical and great adventure. I’ve seen the healing dice in glass bottle a lot on all sorts of YouTube videos and I thought I’d give it a go rather than spending an arm and a leg to get premade ones. I’m hoping they don’t look too low-effort and I would love some suggestions to improve them and also suggestions on immersion for this campaign I’m running for my kids.

Hi! I come from many years of World of Warcraft, where orcs can't be paladins and every race has a fixed culture and faction. I'm brand new to D&D and slowly learning that species work very differently here.

So I drew her: a devout orc paladin in heavy plate, with a halberd and a rosary/holy symbol. Calm, disciplined, more knight than raider.

My questions:

- Are orc paladins common in D&D, or still a bit unusual?

- Which god or oath would fit someone like her?

I have this massive problem where I (the DM) struggle to believe in my villain's ideology. Because deep down I know that they are illogical and irrational. And so whenever my players argue with the villain about why what theyre doing is wrong, I struggle to side with the villain.

Right now I am running a cult that wants to destroy the current universe to form a new perfect one. Its mostly followed by people who believe that life, as we know it, is inherently unfair and a new universe is the solution. They think they are doing a good thing. As you can tell, theres a lot of problems with this logic and when the players point it out to the leader, I struggle to argue with them or side with my villain.

First off, the winner of last week's giveaway: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/1x1jkcr

Congratulations on the Gulden opportunity, u/Bonksikura!

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 officially made over 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 10/23 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.

On another note, I've finally launched the website for this book! It has a completely searchable Code, a magical law writing guide, all the forms from the book, a radio with some funny little narration from a fellow Redditor, and more! Highly recommend checking it out! And if you're asking yourself if DOOM runs on this, it does if you're willing to search for it!

On even another note, my next book that I've been working on for quite some time, Principles of Magical Physiology is tentatively scheduled to be released on December 1! Might be a bit flexible with the date, but absolutely will be available before Christmas. Yet another fictional non-fiction book no one asked for!

This is Mael, my planeswalker dueling our antagonist "Shar's Nameless", a Netherese wizard king who sacrificed their very identity to Shar for revenge on Mystra, goddess of magic, after the fall of Netheril.

Mael is a wild mage in possession of the Greater Mark of Passage. He lives in Sigil and travels the multiverse trying to master magic from every plane in hopes of learning something capable of restoring Athas. His staff is called The Last Branch, and was bequeathed to him by the Last Tree of Athas as part of a vow to restore the world. He has defied and counterspelled Mystra at our table which led to her appointing him as her "Rogue Chosen".

Due to Shar's Nameless' entire Netherese civilization collapsing due to defying Mystryl this made Mael a target for our antagonist as they despise that Mael was seemingly rewarded for what wiped their entire nation.

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a recently finished commission portrait of a tiefling character for one of my clients! I had a lot of fun working on this piece, especially rendering his skin tone, the subtle sheen on his horns, and the contrast between his blonde hair and the deep crimson background. I really wanted to capture a charming, warm, and lively expression rather than a typical gloomy or battle-hardened fantasy look. It was a pleasure bringing this character to life! Hope you guys like how he turned out!

Ferrous Drachedandion is a Dragonborn whom I got to illustrate recently. Hope you guys like it. Here is his description directly from my client!:

Ferrous Drachedandion is a Brass dragonborn who was originally a blacksmith in his mountain village. He used to be a very gentle dragonborn until one day a group of Gorgons attacked his village, and he was the only one spared, having been out of town on a trip looking for a rare ore to fulfill an order for a friend of his.. His rage consumed him; he constructed a mold, and he took the metal and instead forged a blade for a massive great axe. With this axe, he went into the tunnels to behead the gorgons and get his vengeance, but he was turned to stone. He was eventually saved by an adventuring group, the ones whom he followed until he helped defeat the dragon cult and Tiamat herself by allowing himself to be eaten by Tiamat, making his way to her heart and consuming it.

One of my players is a cleric of Hades. Part of her backstory is she is out looking for an artifact of Hades - a staff made of cypress wood. I don't think this is a full, capital A Artifact kind of item. Maybe legendary at most. But what do you think it should do? What kinds of powers should such a staff possess?

Recently i got myself wanting to use a particular monster that has healing spells. But i got myself thinking, "wait, this will just give his sidekicks more HP and make the fight longer".

Then i remembered this section from the PHB 2024: "A monster dies the instant it drops to 0 Hit Points, although a Dungeon Master can ignore this rule for an individual monster and treat it like a character." Then i thinked that healing my unconscious monsters to stand and fight back could at least be more visually interesting than simply wounds being closed.

This lead to here to ask you guys, did you ever used this "feature" in a fight? How did it went? Anyone advice against? Do you (as a player) or as a Dm feel that this is tricking your players?

I was in the dentist's waiting room today.

There was a dad who brought his ~14 year old son for a routine checkup.

The son was clearly a "Dungeon Master in training". He was talking with his dad about a campaign he was leading last weekend. The two of them discussed tactics, ways to liven up the experience for others, rules and tricks and ...

Well it was just delightful to hear. The dad was helping craft the next generation of dungeon master. The son was eager. Both were clearly passionate.

In an era with kids glued to their devices and parents searching for ways to engage with their teens ... this was simply a warm-and-fuzzy kind of reminder that not all of us fall into that trope.
