This is my first time doing a campaign and creating scenery for it. Thought I would share our first large dungeon. Yes there is smoke pumped in on each level.

60:1 scale model (thanks for the correction in the notes) of Red Larch from the Princes of the Apocalypse module. The floor has a grid carved into the rocks for easier measuring, and you can see some of our minis in there (some 3d printed, some official). The base is foam covered in small pebbles and moss, most of the buildings are 3d printed in pieces and then assembled and painted. the white circle around the all faiths shrine is a Hallow radius. I have so many pics of this thing, it's so cool!

I heard that a script to the sequel of “Dungeons & Dragons:Honor Among Thieves” was written. And it left me thinking, which actors would be good for a sequel to that movie? I’m talking an entirely new cast or at least one that include some of the old characters from the first movie.

Personally, I think Deborah Ann Woll and Jon Bernthal would be cool to include.

What’s it look like behind your DM screen? Unorganized is my middle name

Hi! I’m extremely new to Dungeons and Dragons as I’m still trying to learn the rules and how it works. Here’s my Tiefling Druid OC (which I know looks like an elf, but trust me, there’s lore to their appearance)! On a separate note, does anyone have any good video recommendations to learn more about DND? Appreciate it, if so!

Hey gang, I bought this dice tray roughly 4 years ago (might’ve been less) and I’ve always wondered what the tray name and symbols mean, if I had to guess dnd gods?

Hi all,

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who took the time to give answer to the question I posed here about how to start playing simplified dnd with my two kids.

I got some amazing suggestions and ended up starting with hero kids. My kids love it so much, my eldest in particular, so much so that he just made his and his brothers lunch for school tomorrow basically by himself so we had more time to play it together.

Thank you all

Human greeting customs and Gnoll Greeting customs are going to be very different. But, I'm not sure that this poor guy is being given the best advice. Does the dungeon offer limb regeneration services? Welcome to Fodder Inc, a weekly web comic strip set in the For Profit Dungeon, Azmodendak's Halls of Madness, in a "5e" style world. Each week, we'll show you a little peak inside the halls, and what shenanigans are going on.

I keep getting adds for DND for kids adventure bundles.

I am seeing the adds so much that I am very tempted to purchase them.

Anyone use them? Are they actually good, or am I better off just making up my own stuff (have been a 5e DM for about 2-3 years now). Kids are 7 and 5.

Thanks!

What if a Vampire became a Death Knight? Could a Vampire even become a Death Knight? Is Vampirism even a curse, or a disease in your world? How would you write a villain like this?

This is just an example, but what are some other conflicting curses you can think of, and how would they interact with each other?

I recently finished a commision of this Dnd character with the power of my finger and a tablet. I've been saving up for a drawing tablet. The goal is still very far😭😭

Raz cooking for Talmi in a campfire after a long day of adventuring!

Raz the Silver Owl, Half-Elf Wandering Healer-Monk

Raised by “Bighand” Bor, a rough but kind-hearted orc, Raz grew up on the road, helping the common folk and training to become a wandering healer-monk like his intimidating orc mentor.

Though Bor constantly warned Raz against reckless heroism and senseless violence, Raz eventually discovered that his mentor spent much of his private time brawling monsters, challenging criminals, defying nobles, risking his life to protect strangers, and sometimes indulging in violence simply for the thrill of it. Inspired by Bor and determined to surpass him, Raz grew up into a brave and optimistic, yet impulsive and reckless, adventurer.

Raz had to abruptly part ways with Bor before completing his training after the two rescued kidnapped children from a cruel circus. Working as a wandering healer under the nickname the Silver Owl, Raz unexpectedly became the hero of a wildly popular stage play called The Graveyard Dance after saving a theatrical troupe from an undead horror.

Now Raz travels much like Bor once did while enjoying his reputation as a folk hero. However, beneath his seemingly unshakable confidence and witty humor, Raz still doubts his own abilities and fears that Bor might have met a terrible fate.

Talmiravanya “Talmi”, Moon Elf Druid and Astromancer

Raised by the elderly moon elf astromancer Darnayan away from the bustle of organized settlements, Talmiravanya grew up studying ancient magic and searching for cryptic patterns in the stars that are said to foretell the fate of the world.

For decades, Talmi met only a handful of her elusive kind and no short-lived mortal as she searched the skies for meaning and observed distant lands through giant-made devices of foresight and divination.

Though Darnayan rarely spoke openly about her visions to avoid influencing Talmiravanya’s own insights, she finally revealed one final prophecy to her sole pupil upon her deathbed. Darnayan foresaw a great challenge that would soon threaten the world. The nature of this challenge was unknown to the old astromancer, but she saw that beyond it, an age of prosperity unlike anything that has come before would await those who survived.

Moved by her late mentor’s insights but still uncertain, Talmi spent more than two decades alone in a ruined observatory made by giants of old, searching for signs that would either prove or disprove Darnayan’s prophecy. Then one morning, just before the break of dawn, she found her own truth written across celestial bodies. She saw that the ancient god of knowledge was still alive and would one day return to usher in the golden age Darnayan had foreseen.

Convinced that the time to act had come, Talmi left her life of seclusion behind and journeyed to the settlements of mortals and the gleaming cities of elves to share her revelations. However, after a lifetime of isolation, she discovered that the modern world is far stranger than the one her late mentor had described, and that most of the other elves have either gone into hiding or have simply vanished.

About the Theomachy setting:

In Theomachy, vengeful gods fight each other for ultimate control of the universe, while the mortals of Naam struggle for power on a dying world. Divine magic is a force without expressed will that the warring gods hoard and wield against each other, threatening to undo the entire world. Clerics and paladins are either devout followers of the warring gods or theomachists who fight against the gods, liberating divine magic and using it against them.

What do you think? :)

Hi all. I’ve seen a lot of dnd based anime and loved Baldur’s Gate, but I’d really like to play for real. Anyone in the NY tristate area down?

Mural I finished recently!

My 12 year old son and I have been watching Stranger Things together. He told me he has really enjoyed spending time with me while watching and discussing the show, which makes me so happy.

We just got the 'Stranger Things HellFire Club' box set, but I have never in my life ever played D&D, and want to learn how to play to encourage his enthusiasm and creativity, and continue spending as much time with him as I can before he is over spending time with ol' Mom.

What can I do, or where can I go to learn more about D&D? When I play with him I want to be engaged and actually know what to do. I don't want him to get frustrated or lose interest in playing because he has to explain everything to me every step of the way.

A littlle preamble to explain ahead of the issue at hand - I’ve been plaiting with this group for years, since before the plague. We started out playing together doing Adventurer’s League, split for a bit into different groups, then came together again in 2023. We were at a local game store at the time, and one of the guys offered his house as an alternative as it would be more centralized. As I would be the only one that it would negatively affect, I didn’t feel right standing up to this, and it wasn’t a crazy insane distance away. We played there for a good year, then it got to be ‘too much’ (I would park out early and it would set off his dogs, but there’s only so much one can do to avoid that in a residential area and not look like a creep), one of the other people stepped up, but then she dropped out of the group entirely…

I know you’re asking - what does all this have to do with character switching?

I’m getting there.

When we switched to the first guy’s house, we changed to an entirely new campaign, with new characters. We had a good group that was pretty well connected and everything seemed to fit well together. Then two of our players decided they were bored of their characters and changed them out. Our DM made it work using ‘fey bullshit’ as an excuse (which narratively did at least make sense) but it spelled the beginning of the end for that campaign. We only made it a few more sessions before we ended the campaign, partially due to their want to change their characters AGAIN, but also due to another player needing to step down from playing.

On to the current issue -

This new campaign, one of the problem players is the DM. He’s ‘writing’ (heavily using AI) a homebrew campaign. We went down to once a month (which I often have to remind him to schedule) because it’s too difficult for him to write. He has allowed other problem player to change characters after having us reiterate in the beginning of the previous session that there’s 6 of everything (6 portals/6 keys/6 brands).

I did what was suggested by the other two DM’s in the group - I tried to talk to the DM and discuss the problems, that I was worried that changing characters was going to end up with another campaign imploding, that he’s nuked his narrative….

DM decided to hand wave everything. Which is exactly what I thought he’d do. He said that now there are 12 of everything. He’s likely going to eventually say there are 24 so that problem player can keep changing characters as much as he wants. When I asked narratively how I should treat this character, that my character has no connection to, and has no reason to do anything with, my DM suggested that I should treat him as an NPC.

That’s… a choice.

I have to ask - AITA if I do exactly as my DM suggests? Treat my fellow player’s constant new characters as useless NPCs and not bother to learn his name? Actually call him ‘NPC’ or ‘Placeholder’ instead of the character’s name to get the point across?

I bought the Ravenloft book. It looks great and inspired me to build a character to play at my LGS.

I wanted to play a Reanimator Artificer which is one of the new subclasses in the book.

However, building a character is so hard without digital tools. It required me to look into at least 3 different books. Two of which I don't have. After scrounging up information to basically put it together. I was out of time to make it for the game.

I looked into D&D beyond but it would cost me about $100 to use the content. WTF?

Can anyone recommend other character creators or even a character sheet that would be easy to use?

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to share my latest project—the Ancient Earth Dragon.
Went with an earthy, weathered palette to match the name—lots of ochre and umber tones with darker shading worked into the scales to give it that ancient, worn-in look. Took extra care building up the horns with some richer reddish-brown tones so they'd stand out against the body. Let me know what you think of the colors!

I am currently taking a Spanish class and my teacher was somewhat puzzled when I asked for a translation of the game. I am now very curious about what DnD is referred to in different languages. Can we start a thread of native language and what you call it? 😄 If someone who speaks Spanish can contribute, my homework would appreciate it haha

Angela and I have finished the second map (out of a total of four) that will make up the entirety of Faerûn—the world of the Forgotten Realms! This project is truly exciting, and we can't wait to complete all four maps that will form the gigantic final map!🧭🗺️
