When Playing A Spellcaster

Personalize your spells! Each spellcaster has something that makes a spell uniquely theirs! The arcane gestures are not always the same, and CERTAINLY the effects of the spell (visually) are not always the same! A Fireball spell cast by one mage might be a roaring bead that explodes when it hits its mark. Another caster might lob a crackling ball of blue fire that explodes in glittery flames! When a cleric of life cures someone’s wounds, perhaps their hand glows and the skin is left perfect, the way it once was, but a cleric of war’s healing closes the wound, but leaves a scar, as though it at healed naturally over time. 

Be creative, and don’t be afraid to describe what your spells look like!

I still can’t believe that everyone survived the session last night, despite A LOT happening. Now I have a hate god in my brain so things could’ve gone better, but they could certainly have gone worse. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dandd #Vierguel #NaveenTurida #tree #dnddoodles #doodles #sketch #roughsketch #roughsketches #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #andyesvirgilsmindisinspiredbytheupsidedown #tiefling #tieflings

but seriously though i’m sick and tired of those masterposts that are like “here! A reference site on Greek mythology for all your needs! Look it has all fifteen Greek gods on it!” And I’m like. tHERE WERE LIKE HUNDREDS OF FIGURES IN MYTHOLOGY YOUR CRAPPY HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL BIBLIOGRAPHY SITE MEANS NOTHING TO ME 

if you want a basic outline of Greek mythology okay sure fine??? but like. if you want an extensive fucking reference site you are looking in the wrong goddamn places

as a self-declared greek mythology snob my reference site is fucking always this fucker right here. almost every single figure ever mentioned in a Greek text is on it, it has the most obscure gods, spirits, nymphs— it’s GREAT. You really wanna extend your mythological knowledge past the basic 12 and like four others? USE THEOI.  plus plus PLUS everything is cited so you can actually read the source material written about whoever it is you’re looking at.

fucking signal boost this. i’m so sick and tired of writer’s helpers blogs referring people to sites with as much information you would get from opening a third grade mythology book jesus chriiiiiist

More fun facts about ancient Celtic marriage laws: There were no laws against interclass or interracial marriage, no laws against open homosexual relationships (although they weren’t considered ‘marriages’ since the definition of a marriage was ‘couple with child’), no requirement for women to take their husband’s names or give up their property, but comedians couldn’t get married

“This was a terrible mistake!” “It was your idea to come out here on Halloween night to look for ghosts in the first place, Janet.” “I made a terrible mistake!”

We ended up leaving after five minutes and going home to watch tacky 60′s horror movies, still wearing our costumes. But for five minutes, we were not really heroes.

Back in middle school, my friends and I used a very simple coded language for writing secret messages. I saw some posts about needing to hide one’s beliefs from partners/bosses/parents so I wanted to share it with you! These would also be great to incorporate into sigils since they are simple lines and dots.

Look at all the stuff they’ve got! Long hair:

Short hair:

Straight hair:

Curly hair:

Afro hair:

Men’s hair:

Hair on older models:

Extra-fancy hair:

Even crazy avant-garde hair:

So if you need help with designing a character or you just want to practice drawing hair, this is a fantastic resource.
