POV: You are at a political event in Agranor, and between the keen-eyed new baroness and her eerily cheerful consort, you're getting the distinct sense that the new administration in Kernenvale is gonna be way harder to fuck with than the previous one.

(Here's to a hopefully near future in our D&D game, where my character has girlbossed her way into another local government)

You know what they say: "Wear the hat..."

Magret isn't entirely sure if Roseberry knows about that saying. But still, will this be the thing that makes her orc up and ask the pretty dwalfling to dance?

Well, considering that this is a scene from the slow-burn farm-life epilogue I'm writing for these girls, I'm afraid things won't be quite that simple :')

[makeanartsave]

we are deep in the bowels of kalheim, in search of a way to end the prophecy that drove magret from her life and home.

with an end to the prophecy in sight, magret is finally starting to feel hopeful that she can have a home again. and that maybe, just maybe, she can create a home for someone else as well.

Another new blorbo! This time brought to you by the exciting character creation mechanics of the Traveller TTRPG system!

Elio Dax was a smalltown, Earthborn boy with stars in his eyes and dreams of adventures with a trusty crew. As soon as he came of age, he enlisted with the intergalactic navy and worked his way up through the ranks of the command track. His time in the navy was filled with hard work, good friends, love and betrayal.

Inevitably, Elio's instinct-driven approach and his protective streak would prove incompatible with the strict procedures of the navy. He was honorably discharged and was almost immediately approached by the IIDA (Intergalactic Intelligence and Defense Agency) and was recruited as an intelligence officer.

Through charm, diplomacy and cunning, Elio spent several years spying, uncovering plots and protecting civilians. And while he enjoyed helping people, the subterfuge and solitude was a far cry from the adventures and camaraderie he'd dreamt of as a kid.

Elio eventually decided to leave the intelligence service to pursue his boyhood dream: to captain his very own crew on adventures though the stars. And with the help of an intrepid journalist he'd met on his final mission, he set out to find a ship and assemble a crew!

Another summer of trying new TTRPGs means another batch of new characters!

Our Monster of The Week adventure takes place in present day Copenhagen, where monstrous happenings are afoot at a semi regular basis. Here we meet Victoria Amalie Kierkegaard, a 23-year-old law student. She's popular, she's ambitious, she's fashionable, and she's very VERY normal!

... If you disregard her spooky premonitions, mind reading powers and fate-bending abilities... and her spreadsheet-ridden, 5D chess-esque battle to maintain the perfect, normal life for the perfect, normal, successful, non-mind-reading, heterosexual woman that she is. Totally. It's fine. IT'S. FINE.

i've had an itch to draw percy in a style inspired by alphonse mucha for a long time, and her officially becoming the archpriestess of hermes (and her first ever birthday celebration!) seemed like the perfect occasion.

originally i was going to just draw her in a classical greece inspired outfit like usual. but then i read a thing about how it makes more sense for us to depict greek mythical figures in the style of mycenaean greece, since that was the age in which the people of classical greece typically placed the age of heroes.

so, while obviously not entirely historically accurate, i've tried to incorporate some of the most prominent design features of mycenaean clothing, to dress her in something cool and grandiose.

this fucker really got away from me time and ambition wise, but i'm super pleased with the result and the honoured archpriestess deserves every single minute spent.

happy birthday to my best girl :')

born to be a romanceable npc in a farming sim, cursed to be a dnd character

Traveler Percy has appeared!

At first I wanted to make Percy's pokémon-sona a gym leader or part of the Elite 4. But that would restrict her to a single type and that's just not how she rolls. (She'd use Flying AND Poison AND Ghost etc.)

Instead, I imagine her as an NPC that the player can encounter out and about in the world, as she travels around to help trainers on their journey. She is not always easy to find though, as she sometimes travels in disguise - which incentivizes talking to every NPC you meet on the road, bc it might be Percy in disguise!

If you challenge her to a battle and win, she gives you healing items and points you towards hidden paths and areas on the map! And she will of course heal up your pokémon after the battle.

I imagine that she scales with the player - just like the rival typically does - where she gradually uses more pokémon on her team, and gives out stronger healing items.

The only thing that never changes, is that she is always accompanied by her two Dragonairs - one regular and one shiny. They are a bonded pair (ie. they're lesbians) and help Percy fly across the world.

Who would YOUR DnD character be in a pokémon game?

POV you are percy and your beautiful fiancée just offered to assassinate someone for you

[makeanartsave]

the funniest implication of the evil au is that these two used to be coworkers

[makeanartsave]

My D&D group have often talked about, what our characters would be like in an Evil AU. What would have to have happened in this characters life for them to become evil? What would that change do to the character? 

For Percy, the turning point has always been clear to me. When Hermes found her and made her a cleric, she was at her very lowest, in the darkest possible place. He picked her up, he saw the compassion and mischief and wisdom in her, and he showed her a path of light, purpose and shenanigans. But if anyone else - or anything else - had gotten to her first in that moment and shown her a different path, then she would have followed. 

The real conundrum has been: what other entity could have taken an interest in Percy (then simply a nameless halfling) in that moment? Of all the established antagonists in our game, who would be the most thematically interesting? Then a couple of days ago, our DM @ellatamara and I realised the answer:

Wenda the Wandering One - the night hag of The Sisters of Dread coven - was a cruel and powerful witch, who enjoyed creating and manipulating heartbreak.  She would see Percy in the throes of despair at the death of her true love Crocus, and would sense an opportunity to create a loyal warlock servant.  Would she lure her with the promise of reunion and of giving back what was lost? Would she nurture the feelings of guilt at Crocus’ death and promise redemption? Or would she sow thoughts of betrayal and abandonment, convincing Percy that Crocus betrayed her and left her for dead? 

Whatever the case, Wenda would make a pact boon out of an undelivered engagement ring and make a heartbroken halfling into a warlock of death, decay and misery. In this world, Percy would not be named after a goddess that she never got to know. Wenda would name her Desdemona, defining her by her ill-fate and misery.

Kallista Kreed the Spymaster is an NPC that I’ve had for YEARS. She has appeared in every campaign I’ve ever homebrewed, across universes, because I just love her so goddamn much. Somehow I’ve never drawn her before, and that just won’t do. So here she is, meeting you in the alley that she will stage your tragic murder in.
