Bg3 companions as Dungeon Masters xD

lae'zel is always good for a last joke

Every companion ship has potential, but most of them only fit in one way or another ending wise- like for example, your ship with Karlach is only not tragic if someone goes to hell with her, then there's Shadowhearts Shar Justiciar ending which complicates any relationship she's in, and ascended Astarion puts a certain spin on things, God Gale, etc etc

I love though, how many possibilities Wyll has with Astarion. Monster hunter Wyll with Spawn Astarion = A+

Ruler of Baldurs Gate Wyll with Spawn OR ascended Astarion: A+

Monster hunter Wyll and Ascended Astarion TRAGIC BUT DAMN ID READ THE WHOLE SERIES

I know I'm a Wyllstarion Nation-er so I'm biased but I am just DEEPLY into every damn version of those two there's so much story potential ahhhh

Hey everyone! I'm Jess (JJ) Laurier, and you're on the dev blog for Fields of Asphodel, an interactive fiction work-in-progress about the ancient Greek Underworld and its misfit residents. I'm excited to share this story with you all!

This blog will have the occasional update, the occasional bit of art, and reblogs of things people have made for the game. Asks are welcome, though I’m a little slow.

Summary, characters, and the like under the cut!

Fields of Asphodel is a game in which the player takes on the role of the Greek pantheon's deity of spring, on the eve of their (decidedly political) marriage to Hades, Lord of the Dead. After the constantly-simmering feud between Zeus and Demeter results in the rather unfortunate circumstance of a marriage neither party really consents to, the PC is whisked away to the Underworld, an unfamiliar realm that is all but the antithesis of fair Olympus.

There, they have the chance to make what they will of the lot they have drawn. The residents of the Underworld are an unusual, and unusually-accepting bunch, and there are friends or possible romantic connections to be made as well as a rather odd supporting cast to get to know, from the ever-bickering Moirae sisters to Hades's young adopted daughter Makaria to Kerberos, the gigantic, fire-breathing, three-headed dog.

But for all its charms—if indeed the PC should find any—the Underworld is not without its problems, and when a mysterious wasting disease afflicts Lethe, the river goddess of oblivion, the entire balance of life and death may be in jeopardy. It will take the PC, as well as the rest of the cast, to not only cure the affliction, but solve the mystery of what's causing it, and deal with the ever-spiraling fallout of the dead beginning to remember.

Of course, I shouldn't be misleading—the game is mostly about the relationships between its characters, and found family.

The PC, Deity of Spring (M/F/NB): Raised by their mother Demeter, in a rather confined situation that they can have resisted or cooperated with. Now, on the whim of Zeus, they’re Consort of the Underworld. Shape their skills and personality, deciding what and how they contribute to the problem before their new home!

Hades, God of Death (M): That guy you’re married to now. Also King of the Underworld, but mostly just tired and uncomfortable.

Hermes, God of Passage (M): And travelers, and thieves, and loads of other things. Energetic, boisterous, youthful psychopomp who doesn’t quite feel he fits in anywhere.

Charon, The Ferryman (NB, he/they): Patient, serene guide of the dead with more than one uncomfortable secret.

Pyriphlegethon, The River of Fire (NB, they/them): Better known as Pyri. A burst of energy in a gloomy Underworld, if maybe a tad dense.

Alekto, Minister of Punishments (F): Leader of the Erinyes, also known as the Furies. Suspicious of the PC’s presence, and a grump.

Hekate, Goddess of Witchcraft (F): One of Hades’s chief advisors. Confident, curious, and fighting off the last vestiges of a long millennium’s loneliness.

Hello again, everyone. FoA's writer here. (I'm also one of the two writers of Diaspora, but that's another can of worms.) :)

Thanks for reading this far!

My little single-person venture is, a tad presumptuously perhaps, called Chrysanthemum Games. Someday, I would like to be a full-time writer, but for now I do what I can to write like I already am and hope everything else falls into place eventually.

If you like Asphodel, and would like to offer some support, I do have both a Patreon and a Ko-Fi (see above for links). It might interest you to know that the Patreon features the Build-in-Progress (BIP), a feature by which I update monthly with whatever I've written that month, whereas most people only see complete chapter updates. There's also art and bonus content and previews and process notes, as well as more frequent progress updates than I do for tumblr.

I track the tags ‘asphodelgame,’ and 'chrysanthemumgames' but if you want me to see something it’s probably safer just to @ me.

I wanted to incorporate some of Gale's original design and lores. So, I added some infection to his skin and bandages. I wanted to show the netherese orb visibly rotting him from the inside.

Without your words, your touch... I fear I would have sought purpose and solace in that void.

[gamingtrashbasin]

So, we all love Gale’s mirror image/simulacrum, and how the ‘certain measure of Gale’s personality’ that he retains is Gale’s sweet, dorky charm…but is Gale himself aware of this?

I don’t believe we ever see Gale actually interact with his mirror image, as it always appears as a replacement when Gale is elsewhere.

It’s possible Gale has always just assumed he’s created this 100% straightforward, serious mirror image who radiates scholarly intelligence…because surely, that’s the aspect of his personality that it would pull from, right?

Imagine if one night, after Gale and Tav are married and living in Waterdeep, they start reminiscing about their romance. Tav brings up their first night together, and mentions how surprised they were to see Gale’s mirror image standing in his place at camp.

Gale is pleased, and says with a gentle laugh that he hopes Tav wasn’t too intimidated by his simulacrum’s stoic nature.

To which Tav responds oh no, not at all! They loved how adorable he was, and they still remember the cute pose he did to represent Gale’s personality!

Gale (perplexed): …darling, whatever do you mean? What pose…?

Cue Tav, perfectly miming this:

Gale:

HE DID WHAT

[gamingtrashbasin]

Gale: I want to be a God...

Tav/Me: We have God at home...

repost because the caption is silly

I want to take Gale to a Barnes and Noble. I think it would work as foreplay for him
