[embraceyourdestiny]

OH MY GOD BRENNAN YOU DIDNT!!! I FUCKING LOVED ALISTAIR AND WAS SO SAD FABIAN BETRAYED HIM AND HE DIED BUT YOU BROUGHT HIM BACK FUCK YEAH IM SO HAPPY OMG 😭😭😭😭❣️❣️❣️❣️

[pikmininaplane]

Honestly out of all D20 seasons so far I think Pirates of Leviathan is the one I most want a sequel to

Like. The finale directly sets a new adventure up for the crew, with them acquiring a ship and going to free Cheese’s brother and get rid of the storm druids, but if it isn’t enough they could just go on a completely new adventure! Sail the seas, find treasure, fight new foes!

Hell, they could jump to a few years later, show us an older crew, give us young adult Cheese having gotten some real pirating and wizarding experience, give us older Jack seriously thinking of retiring to the Gold Gardens and passing on his title to an adult and confident Sunny, give us siren shipwreckers Bob and Myrtle and Marcid! Hell, make it an opportunity to get some more Ayda and Alistair and pirate NPCs!

Also I feel like lockdown restrictions really put a strain on the season and the audience’s reception of it, and I’d love to give the cast a shot in the dome <3

Pirates of Leviathan was really just me being like this huh

Armor of Gluttony - Armor Carved of White Bone, armed with a massive spiked net. Chosen Armor of Gorthalax the Insatiable. 

Armor of Pride - Armor of Gleaming gold, armed with a Golden Halberd

Armor gifted from Ankarna to her follower Athenriel. After Athenriel took on the form of Bakur, the armor passed through his lineage patrilineally until it was gifted to Gorthalax the Insatiable. 

The curse of the armor transferred to the eldest male descendants of the lineage with the death of each previous holder of the curse. The most recent of these was Gilear Faeth. Upon reunification with the line of Athenriel, the curse was left in a flux state, until it was taken on by the Dark Mistress and Archdevil of the Bottomless Pit, Figueroth the Infaethable. 

The Curse was broken and sealed in the Sword of Sight, and later used to remove the containment of Bakur from the body of Lydia Barkrock

Armor of Lust - Armor of Jet Black Leather, stitched together with a zipper over the mouth.

Armor of Envy - Armor formed of Pure Mirror

Armor of Wrath - Armor of Bleeding Iron, armed with two double-sided flails/scourges.

Armor of Greed

Armor of Sloth

Owned by Gorthalax the Insatiable and kept in the Bottomless Pit until stolen by the Scourge of the Nine Hells, Bill Seacaster.

The Transubstantiations of the Nightmare King

Four symbols of the Unnamed Goddess’ power, converted into four curses which spread the power of the King of the Dark Dreaming

The Coin, a curse placed on the hoard of Kalvaxus that allowed the Nightmare King to possess those who had knowledge of their wealth’s origin (Dragon Madness). This curse came from the trans-substantiation of the spellbook of the Unnamed Goddess, now known as Cassandra. DIspelled by the Blessed Saint Kristen Applebees.

The Plague, a curse placed on the familiar of the Unnamed Goddess, Kalina the Shadow Cat. This curse converted Kalina into a plague that manifested as various illusionary powers, with additional strength within the borders of Sylvaire. Dispelled by Aelwyn Abernant.

The Curse, a curse that bound celestials who attempted to enter the Nightmare King’s Forest and utilized their energies to power the mycelium web of trans-substantiations. This curse originated from the cottage of the Unnamed Goddess. Dispelled by Tracker O’Shaughnessy.

The Tree, a curse on the arcane focus of the Unnamed Goddess, a broomstick which became the Tree at the center of Sylvaire. This curse altered the shape of the Forest to suit the fears of those who entered–the more confident a traveler was in their path, the further they traveled from the center of the Forest. Dispelled by Tracker O’Shaughnessy.

The Crown of the Nightmare King

The last remnant of the Nightmare King after the Fall of Kalvaxus

A talisman capable of anchoring an extraplanar being to a world as if they were native to that plane

The Source of a great deal of power for the other trans-substantiations

Powerfully Cursed for mortal beings. Singular Curse broken by Garthy O’Brien

Dispelled by the Blessed Saint Kristen Applebees, through her Honest Worship of Doubt and her Resurrection of the Goddess Cassandra

The Daughter of Storms

[maxx-the-queer]

The thing about the Intrepid Heroes looking at the anagram exam question and IMMEDIATELY thinking Garthy O'Brien is that I would do the exact same thing.

There is not a moment in my life that goes by where I don't think about Garthy, they are my roman empire.

[wlwinry]

genuinely i do not know how to put this but the constant "making a bit out of traumatic experiences for fabian" is grating on my nerves. haha isn't it soooo funny that fig keeps minor illusioning the creature that chased him and wanted to bodily violate him in the nightmare king's forest. isnt it so funny that his gift was related to that. ik his fear is more related to the sexy rat than regular rats and it was meant to be funny but come the fuck on. are you kidding me. at what point do we maybe think hey this actually fucking sucks and fig isnt minor illusioning baron to fuck with riz or sphynxes to fuck with gorgug so why is this a bit. i don't. know.

and the response is ofc gonna be haha rat flute isnt it funny. yeah get a rat flute for the guy who got everyone thoughtful and personalized gifts in freshman year. that seems fucking nice and fair.

[song-of-baldy-ron]

Marisha should just play a full-on Pirate character for a one shot or game; Keyleth, Beau, and Laudna all had their boat/pirate moments (not to mention her D20 Leviathan character)

[gildedoak]

Excited for Fantasy High: Junior Year! Would LOVE to see more Ayda. Maaaaybe a visit down to Leviathan again? (Description below the cut!)

(DESCRIPTION: A young black woman with fiery hair and phoenix wings floats threateningly before a 6ft tall rat man wearing a captain’s coat and a sword. He’s backing up, sweating bullets as the fire from her hair and wings roars. Flames fill her eyes.

Garthy O’Brien: (offscreen) Jack, this is my daughter Ayda Aguefort, Master of Compass Points Library! Ayda darling, meet Captain Jack Brakkow ❤️

(Ayda jabs a finger into Jack’s chest.)

Ayda: Break their heart, and I’ll break your SPINE.

Jack: Yes m-ma’am.

END DESCRIPTION)

If I had a nickel for every time lou wilson brought to the dnd table a floating island of materials tied together by a culture of isolated sea chaos I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

[autistic-yuri]

Not another artificial island with deep connections to Lou’s character!

Sunday Cosplay for the Kenku kids 👀

[embraceyourdestiny]

Ooh. Carlos and Brennan’s comparison of the young male gifted gnomes (“boys about to become men”) being lied to about their sacred land and taken from their homes to be used to abuse their natural gifts to help some fucking capitalist dipshits fuel their evil bidding rings so true and poignant to colonialism and indigenous peoples’ struggles against it and the lack of humanity for the men of brown communities that these evil bastards subject them to in real life. God pirates of leviathan is so good.

[dimension20npcofalltime]

Round One - Bracket Eleven [Dimension 20 NPC of All Time]

Mira vs Garthy O'Brien

Descriptions under the cut

Mira - She/Her

Campaign: Neverafter

Who is she?

Mira is a daughter of the Mer-King who wished to be a human. In exchange for her legs, Mira gave up her voice, and endures terrible pain with each step. Despite being born a mermaid princess, Mira is transformed into a human woman. However, walking is incredibly difficult as each step feels like she's walking on knives. Initially mute, the Sea Witch, Alba Mac Lir ultimately gives Mira back her voice. However, being human, she can no longer breathe underwater.

Why is she the NPC of All Time?

Queen of free will and agency over herself and her story. She choses to continue to be in pain rather than kill the man she loves even though he doesn't love her. She choses to fight her father instead of going back with him because it's not what she wants and she choses ultimately to fight the princesses because she doesn't want her story to end there.

Submitted by: @1randomperson15

Who are they?

Why are they the NPC of All Time?

"They are iconic, they are amazing, they are (by d20 most-fuckability poll) the most fuckable NPC. How can they not win??"

"FUCKED THAT RAT MAN. SEND POST, IF YOU'RE GOING TO INCLUDE MULTIPLE PROPAGANDA SUBMISSIONS PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CAN YOU INCLUDE A GARTHY ONE THAT MENTIONS JACK BRAKKOW I WILL GIVE YOU MY MY LIFE. DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MINE BUT I NEED MORE PIRATES OF LEVIATHAN LOVE"
