Heheheheh they're gettin suspicious of Arrigal. Very exciting. Love having players with good insight rolls.

*Sighs wistfully* I'm so torn about Vasilika.

At first I was going to change her around and make her a big sad amalgam of limbs and body horror -- the Abbot's attempt to create a "perfect being" that could succeed where he failed. It was gonna be a creepy thing where he's always looking for new parts because he's never satisfied and never gonna stop building.

I did this in part because I'm downplaying the "romantic" aspects of Strahd's pursuit of Ireena, and I wanted to steer away from the theme of the Abbot making Strahd a wife.

But the more I think about it, the more I think Vasilika could be good as is... and like, it is kind of a funny thing if this angel is just so heteronormative that he's like "yes, the love of a good woman will cure Strahd of his evil! That'll fix him!" (Also I'm worrying my original idea may be too much body horror for one of my players.)

I keep flipping back and forth the longer they put off going to Krezk!! I don't know which direction to go! Maybe split the difference somehow?

When I talk about DMs who simp for Strahd, I don't mean the ones making thirsty fanart and calling him their cringefail husband/son (even if they might be self-described Strahd simps.) I have nothing but respect for those people.

No, no. The DMs I'm talking about are the ones who treat Strahd like their super cool omnipotent OC, who's all-powerful (regardless of what his statblock says) and going to kick the player's asses all the time, just to show he can. Those are the ones to watch out for.

I was rewaching some clips from Galavant and hear me out:

Vargas and Izek.

It's them. I stg this is them.

For the ones that need it today

went to my best friend’s house last night and saw a little plushie dog and plushie cat that had been sewn together down the middle into a two-headed chimera. I said, “did you do that?” she said, “yes, I saved them.”

turns out at her old job when the last two plushies hadn’t sold and became deadstock, her boss told her to cut them up and throw them out. so she cut them each in half, preserved their heads, and then rebuilt them together.

cannot stop thinking about the way these little plushies were approached with the instinct of a Vampire or some sort of ancient god. “Let me save you [turn you into a monster].”

Okay so there was a reason for all of that, I take back exactly 20% of my bullying.

[thefruitypebblescastleoftorment]

A kenku asked him if magic could make her fly, and he was like "hmm, possible, but that is very high level and advanced magic" my guy Fly is a level 3 spell what are we doing here.

My guy is so full of himself for being a brilliant and powerful wizard and he is definitely levels 1-3. If they'd started in Death House he'd be a goner.

This fellah saw a spellbook with a ritual that involved infant sacrifice and was like 'oh fucked up, but still, might come in handy.' Which I wouldn't even drag him for (wizards are like that) but the spell was fucking Ray of Sickness. Dude's gonna kill a baby for a level 1 spell slot.
