#THE WIZARD ZONE

[blujayonthewing]

it took a lot of keeping an eye out over months of thrift shopping but I finally found two pieces that work together perfectly as a small brazier-- the kind a wizard might have specifically for casting Find Familiar, for example 😌

Taako! (From TV)

{Image description: digital art of Magnus and Taako from The Adventure Zone.

The first image shows Magnus, a light-skinned and broad-shouldered human with reddish-brown sideburns. He's wearing a ripped red vest that looks like it came from an IPRE jacket, and holding a baby Voidfish, grinning towards the viewer. The background is blue, with white outlines of carved ducks.

The second image shows Taako, a skinny elf with light brown skin and straight, chin-length blond hair. He's wearing a purple wizard hat, lilac blouse, and long gray skirt with gold accents, clutching an umbrella with a frantic expression as sweat runs down his face.

The background is an orange sky, and a dialogue bubble reads: "These memories are fading, Taako, and they're nearly gone." End description.}

haven’t seen this posted here yet

the ‘dragons’ part of dnd got me interested originally, but it was the fan creations like taz and critical role that really drew me in and kept me around

what a god awful decision

[t0bey]

Shoutout to the middle aged man sitting next to me in coach that would occasionally look over my shoulder to see me redesigning my 2021 taako design for almost 2 hours

[thesteamhunk]

Playing around with brushes so here’s a very WIP Taako sketch!

My favorite part of the online DnD community is that it's pretty consistently ahead of WotC and does things with 5e that blows the official releases out of the water.

Take the magic school setting, as seen in 2021's Strixhaven expansion. The idea had already been done, and better, in the original TAZ campaign (2014), Campaign 2 of C.R. (2018, which was so good that WotC published it as its own setting), D20: Fantasy High (2018) and the Mage Madness Arc of NADDPOD (2019).

The big names also consistently do things with 5e it was never meant to do, especially D20, which pushed the system to its limits with Tiny Heist and Starstruck Odyssey.

The smaller indy creators are also doing things the system hadn't before, whether that's the afro-centric content of shows like Three Black Halflings, Jocat's wildly successful Crap Guide, the Arcane Arcade, Tulok the Barbarian's How to Play or any number of other series I doubt this site's character limit would let me heap praise upon.

TL;DR, WotC is far behind the stuff that online creators have made.
