Fancy robes redesigns đź‘Ś
D&D
Art of my D&D character, it’s only the rough design though.
Campaign Idea
Knock Knock it’s COMMUNISM. BITCHES.
Description: You (players) sad (capitalism) so you (players) spread happiness (communism)
Tip: Make one character the DnD version of fucking Karl Marx, it doesn’t matter the class or the race but make them a philosopher/writer that’s working on writing a book about their ideals, and during the campaign they could cite some passages (the player has to read the book)
Functionality: If the player reading the book (so Karl Marx) bought the actual Das Kapital they have disadvantage on all rolls involving the book, if they have it by some “other” ways they add a d8 to the rolls.
If the player doesn’t have Das Kapital, but another player does and they give it to the player, they will have advantage on the rolls involving the book.
Tip2: You could make that, one time for long/short rest, if the DnD Marx’s player uses the book the player who gave it to them will receive either 1 inspiration point or 2d12 Temporary HitPoints, or other shiny looking stuff
Characters:
Karl Marx (Mage, y’know, using the book for two uses? Paladin, finally the communist one?)
an ex underpaid server of an inn that quit to join them (very nice if the race of the character is one of the hated ones, or even better if they’re a half tiefling half elf, doubling the racism, to add a little bit of flavour to their backstory and to the setting) (class? Either Monk or Rogue. I mean, someone who gets attacked everyday for their race? 99% of the time that shit results into being able to punch back)
An ex knight who saw how corrupted the monarchy is and it’s tired of it (additional points if it’s the big bear of the group, tall, muscled and hairy and always ready to take a hit for Karl Marx) they are the first two of the group and known each other for a long time (maybe Karl was the mage of the king?)
A Druid who was stuck in their dog-cat-animal form/someone who was cursed to be polymorphed into a dog for the last 15 years, now that the witch who cursed them has been killed they are free but unable to afford anything because for all this time they obviously didn’t had a job, and their family thinks that they died long ago so they would never believe them to be the same person (maybe also because mow they have some dog-cat-animal facial traits? Not too weird but enough to not recognise your own child) and so they have no money, and were forced to live on the streets begging for some food and money.
Tip3: Maybe now they are Shifters (the race), or Tabaxi or they still randomly transform into that animal (roll a d100 every turn of combat and after doing something that the DM or them thinks is important, on a 10 (up to 30) or lower they transform into the animal they were polymorphed for 3d8 minutes (the d100 still needs to be rolled while they’re an animal, and if they roll a “turning into the animal” number, they roll the 3d8 again and add that to the total). Also they should be able to know the language of the animal that they were since they spent 15 years as one.
An artificer who is a genius but since their inventions are not enough “profitable” or “gives too much to the poor” and “damage the economy” as some rich ass bastards always say before scrapping the idea of founding their creations. They are sick of this and just want to create things to make life better for everyone, who cares about economy and money? They sure don’t!
A warlock who once was a healer in a temple, Ka’rl revealed them (since they couldn’t leave the temple for religious purposes) that those who couldn’t afford to be healed were left to die and that they healed only those who paid an invent price before even simply entering the temple. Due to the shock, they not only lost any faith in their cause (their religion didn’t involve a God or at least not an existing one) but their anger caught the attention of a Celestial Being with whom they made a pact with to make this nonsense stop. (Maybe make that the Celestial Being proved to have the power to do so by healing everyone in the entire city, since the warlock from now on should be filled with trust issues)
An earth genasi/elf ranger, that witnessed the exploitation of natural resources by the ruling class, that hurt not only the lower class but also animals and other creatures. They now seeks to reclaim the land for the people and help Ka’rl establish a society where nature and its resources are shared equally.
A Robin Hood parody, but who steals stuff instead of money (like food and other goods) because they were the accountant of a Duke and now how to fuck up economy (double points if they become best friend with the artificer and use their inventions to steal more stuff)
Inspiration: this (sad) meme ⬇️
Thanks to @guerrillatech (and to @wizard-kisser that always reblog good materials that I feed my brain with and doesn’t even know)
This is a PERFECT way to introduce D&D to a party of newbies.
Maybe make the child mute (so that they cannot say their own name, escaping the oldest trick in the book) or simply make them very nice to the fairies and respectful of the nature thanks to, idk, a grandma Druid.
If you take the grandma Druid you can make that since she was very rich thanks to her adventures, some bandits kidnapped the child to have for ransom. Then the Grandma, knowing the relationship with the fairies that his grandson had, asked for their help.
For 10+ years a child goes to a forest to play/talk with the fairies there despite local legends of their sadism/cruelty, and afflicting fates worse than death. So when the now 16 y/o child is abducted, the traffickers find out not all local legends are BS when the fairies come for their “pet”.
Campaign Idea:
God’s Plan
Plot: The party finds a quest to kill a God, that in the quest is described as useless and incapable, and as reward they could obtain the God’s powers and title (the quest is enchanted in a way that only those that have a non-Evil alignment can read it)
They found the God, VERY quickly and slowly realise that the deity is the one who wrote the quest, after falling in a deep depression due to the lack of followers. The party’s new objective will be to be the therapists of the God while spreading their name and doing good deeds in their honour, becoming the God’s first paladins after a long time of loneliness.
Inspiration: The meme above (thanks @jodetesuciaperra)
Campaign Idea
Lord of the Ribs
Plot: An Elven King calls the players to ask for their help. Their mission is to destroy the One Spice, a powerful magic object that made all the spices feel bland except for those that the owner of the One Spice, Sauronion, sold. This new group will start a journey trough Mordough fighting with Sauronion’s minions like the Nugzuls (or Wingwraiths) and Soyruman The Bland. When the Fellowship of the Rib finally finds itself in front of the Onion Ring, a powerful spell that Sauronion uses to look down on the Middle Eat, they’ll have to fight the army of Sauronion and then take the One Spice to Mount Nom and destroy it, to make the world spicy again.
Inspiration: I think it’s pretty obvious, but in case it wasn’t, I came up with this completely alone and without being inspired by any product of other people. Those who don’t believe me are French (fries)
Oneshot / Campaign idea:
Hydration
Plot: The players meet an Hydra in the middle of the desert, wounded and burned, she begs for help to return to a place with enough water for her to live peacefully. Your player can see that: some of her scales are missing and the skin is burning red due to the sun, the Hydra can’t move on it’s own because her legs were cut, then a metal disc was placed on the burnt meat and finally sealed with long nails into the legs of the Hydra, the number of her head is significantly higher than what expected because to survive the heads had to eat each other.
The Hydra tried to move with her heads but it’s simply too difficult and dangerous since the sand burns too.
Give to one of the player a magic compass to know where to find a large body of water or make that they just know that.
The Hydra can speak Common, because she learnt it when she was little.
The Hydra is now Neutral Good, because she was sent into the desert by a sorcerer who put her there for torture for what she did to his village, now she’s sorry and aims to become a better Hydra.
You can choose the name of the Hydra, make the players decide because she never had one or call her Varixia or Molly
If they help her the Hydra will give them:
Her blood (= health potions), All the scales that fall due to the sun (=armor material), the teeth of the heads that the others will eat (=arrow head or jewellery), the heads of the eaten parts (If kept like normally it can sell high because it’s a valuable trophy, but it can even be modified a bit with the help of the Hydra to make it a powerful shield that one time per round can use a bonus action of the holder to bite an enemy in a 5ft radius).
And the players will be able to eat with the Hydra (yes, eat the Hydra’s heads, but she’s cool with it)
Inspiration:
Hydras are described as reptiles, roam around places with water like swamps and have a swim speed of 30ft.
♡ Looking to join a fun LGBTQA+Freindly D&D (or other) group!
♡Name: Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andri Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III.
Oooorrrrr you can call me Sam ♡ pronouns: he/they
♡Age: 21
♡ About me: I was spawned and have lived my whole life in Kangaroo land (Aussie) I'm currently working full time as a nurse, my interests include: D&D, videogames, anime, movies/TV, [insert various degrees of nerd shit] if you hadn't noticed already I like to think myself to be a humorous individual, If I don't tell at least one joke a day I will probably die, but that doesn't mean I can't be serious! I love getting into a role from the most lawful of paladins to the edgeist of rogues. intresting facts about me...I can whistle almost any song, I will cry, a lot when a character dies (but feel free to kill them, its just me being an emotional idiot), I was once awarded by my school "most avid reader" which didn't exist before I was awarded it and I spent the award ceremony reading a book and almost missed my name (it was six of crows, im not putting that masterpiece of book down), I let my partner practice her make-up skills on me so I may come to a session looking like priscilla Queen of the desert. I once tried writing my own book when I was in highschool but after reading the first few chapters I picked it up, found a match and burnt it to cinders.
♡Preferred Game/Role: D&d but willing to learn any and all systems
♡ Availability: Wednesday and Thursdays
♡ Timezone: AEST - Queensland
Preferred Class: Any, seriously they're all fun!
♡ Preferred Gameplay: Role-playing for the win! Just ask my Partner AKA the cop pulling me over AAKA the pizza guy with a special delivery AAAKA teacher I'm asking for extra credit from
♡ Experience: a long time ago, in a galaxy pretty close by, I found something by the name of critical roll... so yeah much like most people I stumbled on a few podcasts and YouTube clips, I watched them for about a year before dipping my toes in myself, I have at this point played for 1 year and DMed several one-shots and short campaigns.
♡ What I like about TTRPG's: Simply put I love stories! I've adored them since I was young and borrowed every book I could in the library, played videogames for hours on end (one time I played a game so long the disc overheated and snapped), movies, tv, anime, cartoons, anything that can be absorbed and enjoyed I've tried to take part in it, and I find TTRPG's are the best place to make my own story. Roleplaying in character is sooooo much fun, talking to npcs and players get me swept away in the story, plus TTRPG's are a great place to make friends and socialise.
And now, the guilt trip
So there were a few likes about my post on DnD... meaning you get to know about our dumb shenanigans and my weird children
Starting with... the current campaign and the band of misfits that make up our party !

Non-binary, They/She/He, 20 yo Human Ranger, Chaotic Neutral ESTP 7w8 8w9 4w5
Feral gremlin, bread-winner & problem child all at once
- Do whatever they want - Animals are better than humans - Left their village with absolutely no plan and have been fighting for 2 months with glorified gardening tools - Will try to punch you if you get in the way of their fun, but will also kill people who are being an ass to you - Knows nothing but constantly asking questions - Will take 98% of what you say literally - When people wallow & mope about not knowing what to do next, they scream until you get up and *try* something - Has known someone for 1 day and will decide that they're *theirs* now bc they're interesting - Main goal : catch them all (aka becoming friends with enough animals to create a travelling zoo) - Will die for you. Actually no, they have too much stuff to do & see to die so, will most likely kill for you
Lysora Dul'rik
Cis Man, He, ~28 yo Human Fighter/Warlock, Neutral Good ENFJ 3w2 7w6 1w2
Polite truth-seeker, smiling through the pain 7d/7
- Seems well-adjusted, actually dying inside - Constantly gets his worldview upturned by shocking revelations - Noble education & background, notably good at politics & social niceties - Great sense of responsabilities when it comes to protecting the party. TOO great, chill not everything is your fault - Likes to have some fun and get people together - Will die if you don't like him - Flirting is a great therapy method - Tendency to obsess over knowledge, not allowed to stay in a library unsupervised anymore - Very social, will ask for a random passerby name if he asked them a question. - Will die for you. But too busy to die for himself.
Ayla Jaym
Cis Woman, She, Lesbian, 25 yo Human-Werewolf Warlock/Barbarian, Loyal Good INFP 6w7 4w3 1w2
Lesbian disaster, social butterfly but having a hard time rn
- How nearly killing your gf affects your mental health : the story - "When I said I wanted a life like in the books I meant a fun heroic tale with a happy ending, not a 1000-pages tragedy." - Weapons nerd, yield a magic blue axe 3x her size - Any convo will end up with you questioning the meaning of your existence even though she just wanted to ask if you had a sister - Friends good and women pretty. - Born into the trading city of Offonsa where the only law is "don't steal" : somehow got out with a much more refined moral compass (to Rani's despair) - The plot can't catch up if I just avoid it - Will project her issues onto you so bad, you're gonna hope to never be on watch duty with her again - Will probably kill you on a full moon, but swears she didn't mean to
Balthazar Glowbrook
Cis Man, He, 38 yo Half-Orc Bloodhunter, True Neutral ISTP 9w1 5w6 4w3
The edgy grandpa, likely to explode at any given time bc of his experiments
- Thought that living alone in a cave for 10 years was a perfectly reasonable answer to being disappointed in humanity - And only left it when some random woman came find him only to get murdered during the night - Very knowledgeable, very smart but the party has only 1 braincell to share and it's usually Rani's - Awkwardness 100/10, will ramble and bury himself in the ground if left alone, do not trust with diplomatic lies - "Ayla is precious and I'd protect her with my life". Ayla transforms into a werewolf. Balthazar who's part of an organization tasked with killing werewolves : *surprised pikachu face* - Looks responsible. If left alone for more than 5 minutes, will create dubious alchemy potions and end up with chicken wings. - Looks like he could kill you but actually wouldn't. - B.O.O.K.S
Neldëaurë Ramëldis
Cis Man, He, 49 yo (16) Elf Wizard, Neutral Good INTP 6w5 9w1 2w1
The competent nerd, who feels the need to apologize for his very existence
- NEEEEERD - Nerd who collects the other nerds and gets shipped with all of them - "Hey you could pour soup in my lap and I'll probably apologize to you." - Constantly trying to make himself useful - Don't ever mention magical concepts if you're not ready to answer EVERY SINGLE ONE of his questions. He WILL ask you about the impact on portal on the links between plans. - Master at creating new ways to use his spells - The only one with a plan, takes everything in strides - "Okay give me 1 night and I'll uproot my entire life to join you and your dubious organization" - Even though he was part of a much more legal, legit & international organization - Will die if you so much as push him
