Having doubts about how I run my game as a new dm. Help apprecieated! /u/Gajiba DnD: Roll for Initiative!

OK so as my first DMing experience I made a small world with 3 countries and a little bit of lore attached to it. There is a lot of politics. Segregation is everywhere in this world. (it’s not actually the whole world, countries outside this continent are hinted at but they are not a part of the story yet.) Orks live in their own country along with goblins. Humans, dwarves, elves, halflings have their own country. And there is a third island country off the coast where there are outcasts of all races. The party all work for the King of the human(+others) country and they are on a mission to kill an ork general. So there is a lot of travelling. They are trekking from the very north of the continent to almost the very south. During the travel I make the party encounter all sorts of things. And in my mind all of these things lead to side stories they can follow. They are not random encounters. For example, just outside the capital where they first met, there was a Kobold cave and in the end they found a dragon tooth. I plan to eventually have the owner of that tooth greet them (with fire) that might lead to more. I just have so many plans for side stories that they might explore during their travels. On our most recent session, the party found a cultist lair and I also plan on expanding that. A worlwide network of these cultist and this might lead them into the outer planes(?) Do you think having all these side stories they might follow and encounter during their travels detract from the experience? Should they follow a more linear story with their quest? Would it take too long for them to follow the main quest? I’d love your feedback on it. Thanks! (this is 5.5e if it matters)

[OC] My Archfey Warlock /u/UnicornWitch133 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

[OC] My Archfey Warlock /u/UnicornWitch133 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Say hello to Fiorella Thorne! She is an Archfey Warlock with a little bit of Druidic and Wizard flair. She loves herbs and nature, and one day while gathering plants for her herbal remedies, she discovered an injured fairy, named Glinda. She nursed her back to health, and as a thank you, Glunda gave her some of her magical power. Fiorella isn’t one for fighting, but she loves exploring. She would rather put all the enemies to sleep than fight them. Fiorella wants to discover every bit of nature she can. The only drawback is that she only has 80ish years to see it all. She has a cat as her familiar whose name is Loki, and he’s a lazy one, sleeping all day and lazing about on her potions’ shelf. Fiorella is lucky to go one day without him knocking over all the potions onto the floor. Good thing she has an Unseen Servant to help her pick up the mess!

Is it bad form to attack another player who antagonizes you and insists you are not teammates? /u/shadowsog95 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Is it bad form to attack another player who antagonizes you and insists you are not teammates? /u/shadowsog95 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I played a game with my brothers a while back and the scenario was we were all being human trafficked by a band of pirates and we fought through the ship and got to an island with a cave full of skeleton soldiers and I picked up a sword that started the encounter (I’d been a weaponless tabaxi barbarian up to that point) and one of my brothers kept being kind of an ass as a holding rouge just messing with everyone’s actions on purpose with the excuse of “we’re not a team yet and I don’t know you guys” but at the end of the encounter all the enemies and weapons besides my sword disintegrated and the first thing he did was “pickpocket” the sword that was in my hand that I was currently using then run down a dark pathway in the cave with no turns or exits. And my response was to chase after him and beat him up for the sword and everyone else thought I was taking it too far but 1. He shouldn’t be able to pickpocket a weapon I was actively using, 2. He shouldn’t be able to disappear into the darkness when I have night vision as a race ability. And 3. He’s being an antagonist to my character who would 100% kill a random theif they didn’t know for stealing from them according to their backstory. At this point we were all level 2~3 and he metagame joked about how his rouge could kill my barbarian easily.

I Printed My Girlfriend a Mech Dragon [OC] /u/Ender_Guardian DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I Printed My Girlfriend a Mech Dragon [OC] /u/Ender_Guardian DnD: Roll for Initiative!

So, my girlfriend finished GMing a D&D game for myself and some if my friends this year, and in it, my character got to pilot a mech dragon with some beautiful artwork that didn’t exist in 3D models.

So, I found a 3D model that she said was “100% accurate [to her imagination] except the head” which had a very special crown to it, and a decidedly non-mechanical look.

Here is a look at the reference art: https://imgur.com/a/ZND4CbN I’m not sure I agree that it’s 100% accurate, but she said it’s pretty much spot-on… minus the head, so who am I to argue?

This was the last thing I mentioned to her about it. That was back in July/August.

So, I went online and found another model, exclusively for its head (though the rest of the sculpt is great too) and then modeled the crest myself, and kitbashed it all together in Meshmixer.

Here are some pictures from that project: https://imgur.com/a/fz6rCR4

Here are a few renders of the whole piece: https://imgur.com/a/gHoNyzd

Well, I’ve finally printed the whole thing out – the base in PLA, and the dragon itself in resin… and it’s just beautiful

Here are some more shots of it: https://imgur.com/a/hxRTnPt

I can’t wait to give this to her on Christmas day. I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she receives it!

Now to figure out how to pack and wrap it…
