I've been trying to write up stories from my Friday night D&D game because I love them so much and we've had so much fun over the past year and our characters are darling
I play a human monk inspired by Jade from Beyond Good and Evil because I'm still trash for my daughter, though she's seriously turned into her own character over time, and some of her most interesting development has actually been from the aftermath of her death in our second session ever; the fact that the party went out of their way to save her when they-
barely knew each other was a really big important point, and upon coming back to life she made a deal with the Traveler to do a favor for him in exchange for resurrection, which has created a lot of drama just figuring out how she feels about making that deal and what he's asked of her
our water genasi ranger is a bit of a ditz but an absolute sweetheart, and has a magpie-like obsession with gems and shiny things that she can use to make jewelry. She had a traumatic event in her past where sahuagin raided her village and destroyed everything, including killing a runaway sahuagin whom she and her dad had befriended.
her mother was a terrible person who used her as a guinea pig for experiments and calling on the Deep Old One who's now her patron - her Seeing Eye Patron now, since looking into the face of eldritch horror made her go blind. she's trying to get out of the pact which is causing some fuckery with her pact abilities, but she's trying to make up for it by-
she has a crush on the ranger and has no idea how to people and we love her and try to support her through the trauma. also, she talks in deep speech in her sleep which tends to give the rest of us weird tentacle nightmares. so that's Fun
our halfling rogue recently went into retirement because the player had burnout, but we hope he comes back someday; his family was in debt with the local mob who found out that his alter ego that he assumed for gambling was traced back to the tavern his family runs, so he ran from his shame under the pretense of finding this masked gambler who got them in-
trouble, while also sending them money whenever we hit a pitstop. he retired after we actually went into town to take down that very mob and basically obliterated their leader. while he was with us he made some....Interesting choices. We like to say he had murderhobo energy without actually being a murderhobo XD but he was also the Team Mom despite his-
the elf cleric-druid is tragically the character I know the least about because her player is out a lot of the time and when she's in the game, she doesn't talk about herself much. But she's a cleric of Haela, is a little bit of a sadist in combat, and I think she was raised by dwarves? She definitely drinks like a dwarf. All she's really said is-
admitting to acting out on account of some personal trauma/inner demons - this behavior got her and my monk on bad grounds for a little while, but we're trying to even them out and mostly it's turned into them occasionally being little shits to each other
also: she wields a special hammer that belonged to a dwarf who died in some catacombs we explored who wanted her hammer taken back to her family, and I think the implication is they might be blood related? the hammer is certainly awesome either way
Thx everybody!
: that sounds like really good character too. I love when rp of any kind gives you those interactions where things really mean something, if that makes sense
I've been working on writing up a log of our adventures to post to DW, and I'm hoping to commission someone long-term for some art to supplement it too because so many moments need to be immortalized in images namely all the hugs
Tes brought Midna to Abaddonia as her first character a while ago and I finally had to admit that I had a Twi Link that I hadn't played since like 2016
god...I used to play Midna back in like. 2007. I was terrible at her and made a lot of terrible decisions but I've considered trying to wake her up if I ever get around to replaying Twilight Princess
I feel like in a lot of ways I had more fun back then, cause I just. Wrote. I was young enough that I didn’t care quite as much about being perfectly in character. I was just having fun
Yeah that's the one thing i can't wholly justify in my game because it really would not fit the tone at all. but Prisma was pretty good for some crazy shit while it lasted.
Man. I’m really sad again. This man has never dressed up for anything that didn’t require him to be in uniform. Certainly not since becoming a Glaive. /face pulls
Link me, because I’ve definitely been feeling a writing mood coming on. Been thinking a lot about my novel recently and words have been positively itching under my fingers
No actual venting within. This plurk is my safe space today. Distractions welcome.
namely all the hugsnot enough bastardnot enough aegis eitherbut it was beautiful yes
