Is it okay that when I imagine Rodney, I just imagine Danny Devito with feathers?

Not only is it okay, its perfect

[starlighttales]

Oh ALSO there's a fun uquiz you can take, which is arguably more important

Do you enjoy gothic horror, angsty crime families, and most importantly, crows?

Then do we have the AP for you!

Tales from Beyond: Crow Lane is a weekly gothic horror actual-play livestream following the Crowcolts, one of the most famed and feared criminal enterprises in the galaxy. For decades, they've built up their business to the point of becoming practically untouchable-- or so they thought. Now, an intruder on the grounds of their home and even in their very dreams has shaken them to their core, unearthing parts of their past better left forgotten.

Join us every Sunday at twitch.tv/starlighttales as this murder of misfits tries to survive what comes next...

Starlight Tales Campaign Timeline

We've got some new faces in the crowd who are journeying the Astral Sea with us for the first time, so here's a helpful campaign timeline so you know what happened and when! We try to keep our campaigns as beginner-friendly as possible so viewers can dive in to whatever game strikes their fancy!

Thoughts and ideas of crow lane:

So this is just all my ideas of all the shit that is happening in @starlighttales tales from beyond: crow lane.

So one dumb thought I had was that wallow was crow perched on the tree that the other birds are complementing.

Another thought (and one I have shared with starlight tales on here) is Wallow is either a owlbear, kenku, aarakocra or a changeling. While we currently don’t know, I am mainly thinking owlbear or changeling.

An idea I have yet to bring up is Wallow could possibly have different deceased family members memories implanted. I’m not saying all of them but for the 2nd dream it seems a bit too exact for it to not be a possible memory.

More will be added as I think of them but yeah.

49. For willow? Tree hair seems like it would be hard to maintain

49. how often do they cut their hair, if at all?

Willow's hair pretty much reaches their shins, so they only cut it when it starts dragging along the ground. Otherwise as long as they take enough time to stand in the rain and sunshine, his hair maintains itself for the most part! They often shed leaves wherever they go, especially if feeling particularly anxious 😭

dnd character questions

[starlighttales]

Ok, so, Imma need the story of Tennant deciding to grow a Dad 'Stache. Was it on a whim? Did someone else inspire him? Does it make him feel more mature?

honestly I think when the twins were born he didn't have time to shave for like three months, got experimental whilst doing a tidy-up and left the stache, and was bullied so severely by the rest of the fam that he didn't try again until the whole beard had grown back and it stuck!

[starlighttales]

Wallow is obviously goncharov

we wish dude, unfortunately snail is not martin scorsese

[starlighttales]

have u ever seen an owlbear w a gun strapped to it?? now that dog DO hunt!

We're sorry a WHAT--

[starlighttales]

Thanks for asking!

We're a queer-led TTRPG actual-play with three ongoing campaigns! We've got space pirates, magical mystery, and gothic horror sessions streaming every week, all set in a homebrew galaxy of the Astral Sea. All of them just started and are currently between 3 and 8 episodes, so it's not too late to dive in!

Tales from the Starlight Ocean is a space-pirate swashbuckle through the Castelien Expanse, following a crew of adventurers as they explore the furthest reaches of the space while finding family and comradery in one another.

Tales from the Hearth: Starfarers is a magical mystery following the fallout from a catastrophe atop a floating island, which has knocked them off course, and centering around themes of community and family.

Tales from Beyond: Crow Lane is a gothic horror story about a notorious crime family who suddenly find themselves haunted by the ghosts of their past, centering around themes of grief, loss, and decay.

What are you working on?

It is what it says on the tin! If you're working on an indie ttrpg project, idea, art, podcast, stream, whatever, drop links, wips, and talk about it in the comments!

I just finished the first draft of a playbook that's part of the Apocalypse Keys stretch goals, and am going to be working on some secret space pirate stuff very shortly 👀

I've also got a few other projects in some very early stages that I've talked about HERE and HERE.

It's been great seeing so many new and returning ttrpg people pop up on tumblr, and the best way to continue that momentum is to keep talking, posting, and reblogging all the cool stuff everyone is working on!

So, what're you working on??
