think i'm done with this one

I might've added the BG3 Art Book to my dnd assets stash

It' 100% does not have things like the 5e players' handbook + 5e’s character sheet, several gm guides, critical role's explorer's guide to wildmount, baldur's gate and waterdeep city encounters, 101 potions and their effects, volo's guide to monsters, both of xanathar's guides, a bunch of other encounters, one shots, and class builds

In no way are there any pdf’s relating to any wizard who may or may not be residing on any coast

(Edit that I’ve moved the folder to the new link above! So if you catch a different version of this post that link won’t work anymore!)

Eltar is so funny. Magic boy who lives in the woods is an aasimar so he has all of these gorgeous angelic/celestial themed spells right next to his more natural spells which are like “What if I summoned bugs and made the ground explode.”

Snippets from eltar’s adventuring journal. I have to do a lot of math for chaos bolt lol

figure this might be of interest to folks here, a mutual of mine who doesnt have tumblr (i believe) just released a super handy extension called Indie Wiki Buddy. does a lot more than just redirects, itll filter out search results and add a banner to fandom wikis youre viewing, and it goes hand-in-hand with Breezewiki if you're already using it :)

Drew a quick little thing up to help me visualize Eltar's adventuring supplies

[yawning-portals]

today was eltar's inaugural session! i think it went well. he's a bit more sprightly than i initially envisioned, but i'm slowly getting the feel for his character.

i reeeeeally want his wild magic to proc, but my dm says it's a bit too dangerous at these lower levels, which is fair. our party is pretty fun: two bunnies, a cassowary themed aarakocra, a half-elf, and i think the last guy is human. it's less goofy than i thought, but we're all trying to get used to how things are back in 5e versus pathfinder--me moreso than others. i think i'll have to take another spin through the player's handbook to make sure i understand all the concepts better.

funnily enough, i'm trying to determine what eltar's literacy levels are. i have to imagine he's literate, since most of what he knows about civil society is from books, but i think he probably takes notes by doing some insane shorthand that no one else can read, so his journals just look like chicken scratch. it's not like they have tons of writing implements out in the wilderness.

In addition to categorizing fanart/lore, also gonna be using this blog to categorize my thoughts/storycrafting/inspiration/journaling for my d&d chars:

nell, seer elf, abjuration wizard (originally a pf2e: abomination vaults character but, yeah)

yael taran, drow, paladin (my bg3 tav)

eltar ros, aasimar, wild magic sorcerer (for my current irl d&d campaign - phandelver and below: the shattered obelisk)
