An elf, a dwarf, a tiefling and a half-goliath half-elven pseudodwarf walk into a tavern...? There's got to be a punchline in there somewhere. Socket's D&D tumblr, for adventure chronicling, player character art, and panicked screaming over the DM's newest reveal. (And D&D-related reblogs, probably.)

Portent's arcane focus and spellbook; a mysterious relic called a Horologue. It's a magic relic that can be used to divine time, tune into specific timelines and read time that has not happened yet.
Rather than record spells in a book, Portent recalls specific moments in time and turns the dials on her horologue to tune into specific timelines.
She's intrinsically bound to it and it ticks instead of her heart. Sometimes it ticks erratically, or backwards or not at all. She's not sure what it means.
Name is a WIP until my DM approves my proposed backstory.

Wanted to do a fun lil pop art inspired piece with my astral tiefling graviturgy wizard Phaethon, everything he knows about the world he learned watching 50s sitcoms and they’re poorly concealing the fact they’re an alien. His pronouns are whatever fits the situation the best or funniest

Silk & Dagger: A Sensible Drow RPG casts Drow (as they're portrayed in a lot of Forgotten Realms media) as a society of fucked up, comically over the top warrior women with deeply repressed insecurities and extreme superiority complexes. It is very good at portraying these types of women! One media example of this genre of woman is Queen, from Deltarune, and as an exercise to test the robustness of S&D's character creation, I tried to recreate her. It took me all of 15 minutes to create a very accurate and mechanically supported version of her, and most of that time was just me thinking about how to transplant her into S&D's setting.
In particular, the character creation process means that this Drow would be very likely to lounge around on her throne, laugh at people condescendingly, hang around with other people who she shows off to, unpredictably succeed or fail at certain tasks, and do silly bullshit that makes real-world audiences laugh. Any fan of Deltarune will tell you that that is a reasonably good description of how Queen acts throughout most of Chapter 2, and it was effortless to put together in S&D.
Character creation in this game is very easy, and on the Drow mistress side of things, it's very good at creating weird, domineering, hilariously over the top women. Check out the Traits I gave her (listed below the cut) to get a sense of what this game does!
Authoritative Idleness: This Drow gains a +1 Contextual Bonus to any Interpersonal Roll (besides Social Cues) if the Skill check is made while they are the only one in the chamber who is sitting or otherwise lounging casually, such as with her legs crossed, or laying on her side propped up at the hip. She gains an additional +1 Contextual bonus if she is on her throne, and/or an additional +1 bonus if whoever she is speaking to is at a lower elevation.
Laughtracker: This character gains 1 Favor Point every time their actions or dialogue result in at least one player laughing out loud,[1] to a maximum of 1 time per Scene. [1. Sidebar] Meaning players in the real world, not any of the characters in the game world. If any spectators who are not directly participating laugh, that counts too. [Favor, in Silk & Dagger, is a metacurrency that can be exchanged for Boons, which grant advantages on future rolls.]
Noblewoman's Laugh: Up to once per Scene, when this Drow gets a haughty laugh in,[1] partially covering her mouth with her hand, she gains a +1 Contextual bonus to all Interpersonal rolls until the next time she loses Reputation or the end of the Scene. [1. Sidebar] This has to be a situation where it makes any sense for her to be doing a haughty laugh. [Reputation, in Silk & Dagger, is a stat representing how much a Drow is respected, loved, and/or feared by her peers. A PC's Reputation reaching 0 is the main fail state of the game.]
Showboater: This Drow thrives on showing off. Add a +1 Contextual bonus to any Skill roll this Drow makes as long as two or more people are watching her. However, she takes a -1 penalty to all rolls when nobody is watching.
Unpredictable: All rolls for this Drow must be made with a 1D12 instead of the usual 2D6. If using a Boon, add an extra D12 instead of an extra D6 and only count the highest die. [If you're unfamiliar with how probability works with multiple dice, this essentially makes extreme results more likely. With 2d6, the range of roll values is from 2 to 12, but values closer to 6 and 7 are most likely, which in S&D means that Partial Successes are more common. Using 1d12 means that every value from 1 to 12 is equally likely, so the character is more likely to get unexpected full successes or failures.]

A shaded commission of Brida, the adopted goblin daughter of the client's player character! Brida has recently been having all sorts of grand adventures - becoming Keeper of a great witch god, becoming champion of another god, learning black magic, dual-wielding TWO different legendary weapons (those daggers she's about to jab into something) - exciting stuff! I tried to show that excitement and glee in her pose. Brida's living her best life! ^_^

I had posted some of these before but Ive gotten around to finally getting the new arc outfits for everyone done! (With the rest of their icons to be worked on- losing the working files before when my computer died really killed the drive to work on them)
Reminder of the party! Barrington - Reborn statue - Ranger Cylvara - Changeling - Grave Cleric Maeve - human - Necromancy Wizard Magpie - Hexblood Halfling - Warlock Rona - Dhampir - Sorcerer Sprout - Reborn (half elf) - Druid/Monk Veronique - Dhampir - Fighter

Nimue the druid satyr 🌿🍁🍄(she/they)
Nimue is a beloved form of Husk’s (though I love her as a character by herself) They usually use this form to travel the Chondalwood outside of their circle since word spreading of a living changeling out to the human world would jeopardise their schemes. However after leaving the forest and their xenophobic homeland they use this form as their travelling persona.
When adopting Nimue’s form, Husk acts sweet and naive to the ways of the outside world in order to mess with people, like sometimes giving out false fortunes as a Star Druid or lying about fey customs. Though because Nimue is similar to Husk in many ways, their temper is lurking closer beneath the surface than with other personas XD
