Your post about Vecna looking like that fucking grape bitch made me go to youtube to confirm.

Honestly...

He pulls the gold off better than Thanos do. BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THEM FUCKING GOLDEN NOSE PLUGS? LIKE SIR??? WHAT DO YOU NEED THOSE FOR?!

I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THE NOSE PLUGS. YOU'RE SO RIGHT. LIKE WHAT IS THAT?

Tbh though, I'm glad it's dnd Vecna and not stranger things vecna. I love Stranger Things, but dnd is an og and has better potential in the dbd universe. Netflix are assholes with their licenses (as we've seen before with the removal of stranger things and then adding it back)

I just finished my Vecna: Eve of Ruin handout pack! I'm getting back into the swing of things, this one only took about a month...

This picture is from the new DnD book, and comes with the caption "A young Kas and Vecna muse about the destruction of Oerth". Just. Let Kas and Vecna be gay. Let them be the messy friends to lovers to enemies to lovers gay uncles of DnD. THEY'RE DOING EVIL PLANS OVER TEA AND PASTRIES. I'm not saying this is the gayest thing I've seen this week, a week wherein I do gay things myself all the time, but the Pope probably would.

I sketched a design for how Vecna looks in our homebrew supernatural western campaign 🦇🩸

DEAD BY DAYLIGHT: DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS ● June 3rd

I will draw out your ending as I see fit.

May I be the Kas of yours though we've only known each other for like...three or four minutes?

[onesinandahundredgooddeeds]

I usually don't read dndbeyond news articles but the one they had recently for becoming a lich in dnd had caught my attention (I already know a lot about this and wanted to read up on it)

it mostly brought up the various known ways in dnd of becoming a lich (all of which you should ask your dm about first ykno) but one of the well-known ways covered in the article is

is by asking Orcus, demon prince of undeath right? he likes making liches bc they'll help him get rid of all life anyways (since phylacteries need souls to refill and all)

but one of the ways of asking is just.. literally asking via Sending. 3rd level spell. completely unprompted. imagine you're in a dnd game and your fellow party member just fucking sends out "hey orcus can you make me a lich pretty please? thanks!" while you all are there

STRANGER THINGS and D&D

Time Magazine Special Edition: 50 years of D&D(2024)

I've highlighted the important details, skip the rest...

Who is Vecna?

So I googled each of them. since s4 pulled from DnD lore, I wouldn’t be shocked if Duffers have more cooked up for s5. (Chris Perkins, the game design architect of D&D, mentioned his favorite villains, which Stranger Things could borrow from)

Vecna – The Whispered One

A former mortal wizard-turned-lich-turned-god of secrets, undeath, and forbidden knowledge.

He ascended to godhood by betraying his own most loyal servant (Kas the Bloody-Handed) and embodies the danger of unchecked ambition and hoarding of knowledge.

Skeleton hand, glowing eye because that's all that's left of him in most stories (the Hand and Eye of Vecna are legendary artifacts).

Cold, calculating, god of necromancy and secrets.

Wants to become the sole deity, ruling over a world of silence, fear, and undeath.

Expect whispers, cults, undead legions, and paranoia-fueled puzzles.

Strahd von Zarovich – The Dark Lord of Barovia

The first vampire, and ruler of the misty, cursed realm of Barovia.

Brooding, elegant, tragic villain.

Obsessed with Tatyana, a woman who keeps being reborn and rejecting him.

He’s a master manipulator, necromancer, and a vampire overlord who controls an entire demiplane (Barovia)

Central villain of Curse of Strahd, one of D&D’s most famous adventures.

He plays with the party before he kills them and death is never the end in Barovia.

Lolth – The Spider Queen

The chaotic evil goddess of spiders, lies, betrayal, and drow (dark elves).

Once an elven goddess, she betrayed the elven pantheon and was cursed into her current form.

Rules over the Underdark from the Demonweb Pits.

She encourages her followers (mostly drow) to betray, backstab, and manipulate, leading to a culture of endless power struggles.

Drow clerics of Lolth are often key villains.

Her presence means webs, traps, illusions, and political sabotage.

Orcus – Demon Prince of Undeath

A demon lord of the Abyss and the patron of necromancers and undead.

Massive, bloated, goat-headed demon with bat wings, wielding the Wand of Orcus (a death-stick of god-tier power).

Wants to replace all life with undeath and conquer the multiverse.

He creates armies of undead, turns gods into 'zombies', and casually obliterates reality when he gets bored.

Even other demon lords hate him.

Epic-tier villain — usually shows up around level 20+

Themes of death cults, necromantic rituals, apocalyptic stakes.

It also features an article from the time of s2 shooting.
