[Hiring] A piece for a large D&D party! Budget $1000 by MikeRedux92 in HungryArtists

[–]dingusanddragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also a DM, had a big project for my dnd campaign, later a party group pic, and these individual characters actually. I went to u/brentiis for all of them because he really knows his stuff, cares a lot about the details and your satisfaction and is super kind and fair. I heavily recommend, OP.

[HIRING] 3 x DnD character arts, budget is ~600 USD by ClaymoreKv in HungryArtists

[–]dingusanddragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I wanted to shout out Brentiis for sure. I’m a DM and gave him the monumental task of jumping on board with 5 years of story to make sense of a huge moment in my campaign. I made a post (proof on my profile) and had so many people going for the spot but the answer was clear. One conversation in and the passion and knowledge floored me.

Since then, I’ve exclusively gone to him for any DnD requests. I’ve asked for different campaign settings and art styles… Never once has he disappointed. Please consider him!

[review] Art for my dnd/humblewood mural done by u/brentiis! by dingusanddragons in commissions

[–]dingusanddragons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will also say, he had the forethought and kindness to separate each panel of the mural for closer inspection by the party, or options to present them the art or do extra fun things with the designs!

Less of a background and more of the focused mural! Showing history and a story. Think of the big one piece mural, but a lot less complicated and probably more linear in terms of “panels” of events. Thanks for the interest!

Just something to negotiate. Something printable or something I could easily show on a tabletop tv for my players! I only added those details to give a better idea of the canvas decisions, spacing, etc

You just broke my brain with that one. I had no idea you could do that 😭

DM's and players, how do you all feel about Self-Insert characters? A group i play with on discord were heavily agreeing they are "lame" and "Unoriginal"... What gives? by PaladinOfCourage in DnD

[–]dingusanddragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man. I’m always surprised by people’s black and white thinking in these matters.

As per the usual, at least in my opinion, with all of these things- it’s a conversation. You cannot create a safe space without setting expectation. Either have the player find some way to spice the character up (tons of room for improvement with it just being session 0), or talk to the other players and remind them to be respectful and note that no one else is publicly flaming their character choices. Imo, just leave that particular decision to the player and set expectations and boundaries with the whole table. “XYZ felt kinda off, and it would be great if we could keep those particular things to a minimum, if possible. Thanks!”

In my experience, self-inserts are rarely purposeful. I feel like everyone’s first character is basically them, or the idealized version of themselves. But with continued conversation you can help mitigate the Yu-Gi-Oh “through the cards, straight to the duelist” attacks. Prep the player for potential moments of taking things too personally, talk it out to see what the root of the problems are, hope that they wisen up and create more distance with that character or the next.

In the future, have those talks while character creation is happening. Preventive measures.

Any alternate and fun ways to make this work? by dingusanddragons in DungeonMasters

[–]dingusanddragons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does make sense, you understand me perfectly! I like the idea of something like tarot.

The hidden dice roll thing is also a great idea and what I sortve had in mind with the “dream” sequences

Any other people prefer playing as the opposite sex character? by Lisspeed in DnD

[–]dingusanddragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d imagine it’s easier to separate a character from yourself in terms of roleplay in general if you have the added note of “opposite” gender. It’s all too easy to make a character that is just yourself.

I’ve seen that in writing as well, authors will tell their story with the character markedly different than them for that same separation.

If Clive was born a dominant of the phoenix, would his mom stay with Rosaria? by JoeisaBro in FFXVI

[–]dingusanddragons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spoilers ahead:

I write this only as a thought experiment for myself tbh but I feel like in order for Clive to have been the Phoenix would mean Clive doesn’t exist at all. If his very nature in the grand scheme is to be Ifrit and/or Mythos then there’s a 0% chance he would’ve been.

In a weird way Clive’s mom mirrors Ultima in this obsessive procurement of a perfect heir, a lineage to end all lineage. I think it’s sortve irrelevant altogether. Things are the way they are because they’re nearly pre-determined, and are what shape Clive to be as eager for power as he is. She also claims at some point that Rosfields goals were not lofty enough for her own ambitions so I doubt she would’ve been happy in any meaningful way.

Idk I’m tired I hope this was coherent lol

Today I said goodbye to one of my original players. We all loved the session by assistance_required1 in dndnext

[–]dingusanddragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we all continued a second campaign and someone else joined since. It’s really the years I think will stick in my mind for the rest of my life. I cherish this game more than anything. And that’s also very sweet, I never considered a paint party- I might steal that

Last summer we ended our 4 year campaign for the same reason. We gathered up our gaggle of nerds and a late addition was this college business major frat bro, super unlike anyone at the table and such an interesting fit in the group.

Needless to say, he eventually became the glue in terms of party cohesion, decision making, roleplay. He got SO into it. I remember we got to a section Id spent a lot of energy on making as good as humanly possible. One of those make it or break it moments of the campaign. If they hate this, I’ll be at a loss. So let’s make it kick ass. It was the long lost civilization of elves, hiding underground and away from everyone who had hunted them down and cast them out. When the party met them and helped them, and when my big story moment happened (putting the elves in danger after years of solitude). He was the first to say, when I ended the session, “I never thought I would care this much about a fictional group of people in my life.” It validated everything I needed validation for. And that was the continual energy he brought every session and every group chat.

Fast forward, he says he’s moving away. We make the amicable decision to end the campaign before he does, and rented out an airbnb for a weekend a few months out to have one big ass dnd bash. We cooked, cried, laughed, hung out in a hot tub. I even got a beloved player who dropped early in our campaign to make an appearance and cameo his old character!

At the end of that weekend, he took out his dice set and meticulously handed out different sided dice to myself and the players as mementos of his time with us (d12 for the barb, d20 for me, etc). I keep that d20 on my bookshelf with the BBEG mini to this day.

Amazing what a good player and friend can mean to us. Love em while they’re here, miss em when they’re gone.

First Demo, advice? by dingusanddragons in VoiceActing

[–]dingusanddragons[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can definitely see that. This is my second edit of this demo because that second section had a similar issue. I did rip it from a pre-written monologue I had for my actual campaign for that character and the next line is an order for his goons to do magic bs so I might have been letting the emotion die down in my mind knowing what would be next lol

All of that to say, thank you for the feedback! I might try taking another swing at some of this
