#personal campaign notes

[big-moon-little-moon]

a list of people (and non-people) who know Imogen and Laudna are dating as of episode 72 (two months after the kiss)

Chetney

Paté de Rolo, Laudna's dead rat familiar

Ulli, a skysailing instructor from Zephrah

Deanna, because she has absolutely scryed on them and put two and two together

F.R.I.D.A., because Deanna was very excited and told them

Zhudanna, because she thought they were a couple this whole time

Bruda, a cursed pirate skeleton lady with a gambling problem

#any day now the rest of bell's hells will find out #any day! #prism is not on the list because she probably also scryed on them but just thought #'hmm this doesn't look very sisterly to me. marquet's family relationships sure look different than where i'm from! interesting!' #the skeleton lady is the first person imogen told too #which is just peak imogen #10/10 no notes #bells hells #c3e72 #cr spoilers #critical role spoilers #imodna #southern gothic #cr campaign 3 #cr laudna #cr imogen #imogen temult #i know in game not much time has passed but it's still funny to me

Core memory

God I love my dad

#personal art #seriously though my dad is the best #we’ve been playing Halo together since the first game came out #granted I was like 3-4 years old when the series first came out #but we had fun #side note: HALO PLEASE BRING BACK CO-OP CAMPAIGN #I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY THROUGH IT BY MYSELF

why are ppl always so mean about taz :(

#every time theres a new arc everyone who only liked balance is like 'oh if u dropped off after balance u have to listen to THIS arc bc its #JUST LIKE BALANCE' #every damn time. #it happened with ethersea a bit but especially w steeplechase and vs dracula #and u get ppl in the notes of these posts saying 'oh yeah i fucking hated everything after balance sooo glad theyre finally doing exactly #what i want them to!!' #like. its ok to have personal preference but dont be mean about it :( #and comparing every campaign to balance is rlly annoying sry #let them be their own thing #stop being so blinded by nostalgia ig #like not to be rude but. i think ppl think balance is the most Perfect Thing Ever but its rlly...not #all the campaigns have flaws but i aint canceling them for that #like what happened with grad #idk its like if balance came later ppl would probably be much more mean about it #bc they wouldnt be blinded by nostalgia as much or smthn #anyways #at the end of the day the mcelroys shouldnt be expected to make a replica of balance every campaign #and thats not what theyre trying to do. theyre doing what THEY personally want to do. like they clearly dont care abt what others think lol #theyre experimenting and having fun #its like. a free podcast with a bunch of silly dudes playing for funsies. they shouldnt have such high expectations or be demonized #in any way #my point being. if i see anyone being mean abt taz u get blocked #>:( #coon speaks #not tagging taz. i dont wanna see nasty ppl in my notifs ty

FYI this "aesthetic blog" posts a ton of maschine generated pictures

im sure there are a ton of blogs like those around but i saw this one multiple times today alone; not every single post contains maschine generated stuff but i looked over a bunch and 90% was 100% made in one of those picture generators

not a single post containing clearly maschine generated stuff is tagged as such, but all posts have notes in the thousands

of course i cant tell if the person running the blog is aware or doing it on purpose but if you want to stay away from anything spit out by a plagiarism programm i thought id mention it

#ganondoodles talks #ai shit #fyi #not trying to send a harrassment campaign there #but i personally have a deep hatred for all maschine generated stuff #i dont even want to call it ai bc a plagiarism programm is not intelligent #only doing this bc im pretty sure i have seen posts from this blog alot and every post gets thousands of notes #tbh i have adopted the tactic of being inherently sus of any aesthetic tm account #more often then not its mostly generated stuff with no label that thats what it is

i really just do not trust makeship. i feel like people should think more about where their merch is physically being made before hopping on a bandwagon, ESPECIALLY for something as complex and labor-intensive as limited run plushies.

makeship talks a lot about how much they take care of their artists and design/logistics team, but has nothing about their manufacturers on their website. all of their employees are remote, which is something they brag about on their site, so i'm certain they outsource the actual plush creation. given their prices and what i know about plush manufacturing, i don't have much faith that the people actually making the plushies are paid/treated well.

#jabberwockies #makeship #...not sure if i should put this in the tag but. i rly think a lot of people just don't think about it #rather than ignore it out of malice #so maybe this will like. do something #i don't want to be a downer and i'm not judging anyone who's participated in their campaigns in the past #but as an artist and also an amateur plush maker i think the QOL of people is way more important than having a plushie #no matter how unique and personal #also if you have more info i'm happy to hear it. it's just a real hmmmm situation to me #bc even places like mysterious (plushie dreadfuls) make a vague note of where their plushies are made and how the workers are treated #idk man. i hate capitalism

[patricideawards]

round two: day seven

#patricide awards #patricideawards #goro akechi #jason todd #dc comics #persona 5 #okay as someone who knows and likes both these characters I want to say that I expect the campaigning for this poll to be INSANE #if nobody's being torn asunder in the notes I'll consider it a personal failure

[wayfinderships]

Good morning gamers!! Hope you're all doing well! As for me, I'm doing pretty well! :> Also I think I've said it before but y'all are totally fine to ask for my discord! I love getting to know y'all and joining servers!

#pan rambles #I just have an easier there chatting there than in Tumblr DMs-afksnfn #And also I just like talk and getting to know y'all! :> #side note #I really need to check out the second campaign of C.ritical R.ole- #There's these two characters that seem cool but idk enough about them personally wise to know if they're my type or if I'll like them #Alas😔 No matter how attractive I think a character is. the number 1 thing that determines everything is personality #I must get to know them first

[disabilityshowdown]

oh i've never felt this post harder than looking at the results of the reds battle and the star trek battle

#people campaigned SO HARD in the notes for red transistor #not a single person mentioned red pokemon #and yet pokemon won by a handful of votes and this feels so unfair #same for star trek i thought for sure nog would win that #but apparently not #i didn't even have a preference for the star trek poll before everyone was just so passionate about nog in the notes #but god #i so don't want to have to eliminate transistor and nog after all that

[gaylorarchive]

#gaylor #gaylorarchive #forever winter #red #red tv #lyric analysis #closeting #twitter #on a personal note #i remember this campaign so clearly #and I remember holding onto that sentiment #hoping desperately that one day I could be out and open and safe #and i'm not even that old #like at all #i'm not even a millenial #but I remember the it gets better campaign so so clearly #it really helped

[iolypse]

#this is for a fic wip #I'm kind of leaning change back and keep the glass and gold but idk #and I can really see it going any way #critical role #critrole #critical role campaign three #bells hells #ashton greymoore #caleb widogast #widogast's transmogrification #critical role fic #TO CLARIFY for the person who just left a note #there will of course still be pain #just less of it since we're eliminating a lot of the bone-deep issues and instead making them painless and cosmetic #they look the same #they just don't hurt #obviously with the glass this gets tricky #but I imagine that widogast's transmogrification could probably do a bit of something to at least make it easier

[sangfielle]

the actual problem with running my blades game is i need to soft reset that campaign and then i also have literally 250 relatively actualized npcs and i need to work on their relationships chart and redo my npc quick info doc and the factions rundown doc and tweak everybodys tiers and statuses and i need new hooks for the player characters and i have like 15 pcs id need to do that for because my friends hate me

#i need to do the soft reset and new hooks bc its been forever since we played and everybody in that campaign apparently didnt take notes #personal

[knifefightandchill]

Okay so I’ve been biting my tongue but figured I might as well get it out already.

piers and chris vent under the cut

I feel like it’s important to point out that Piers was Chris’s lieutenant. He was directly under him. So yeah, he was a higher rank than the rest of the team, but not higher than Chris. And definitely not a high enough rank to have any sort of sway with the brass. If they want Chris back on the field, there’s absolutely nothing Piers can do to fight it.

But besides that;

Piers looks up to him, he cares about him. Hell, Chris scouted him, trained him. They were friends. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if he jumped at the chance to find him and bring him back.

He’s also a 26 year old soldier, I doubt he had any idea the extent of Chris’s mental issues. He’s drunk when Piers shows up after all. In fact, I doubt the BSAA cared or had the time to do a full psych work up on him before flinging him into Lanshiang.

Chris is unhinged, he’s reckless, he’s blinded by vengeance. But his actions are still his own fault. He shouldn’t be out in the field in any capacity. In fact, I feel like he shoulda been sedated and brought to a hospital. But he’s clear headed enough to know what he’s doing, he just doesn’t care about the consequences. He’s got tunnel vision. That’s not an excuse, that’s an explanation. He’s still responsible.

He tries to blame it all on Carla, but the blood of his own team in Lanshiang is also on his hands.

In fact, Piers points that out! “If you hadn’t been blinded by vengeance, we could have prevented some of those deaths.” Shit, they then get in a whole fight over it.

There’s another time I can think of off the top of my head where Piers points out he’s being reckless earlier on in the game. Chris shuts it down with the whole soldier thing.

So, if Piers knows something is wrong, why does he keep following him?

1; that’s his friend, 2; that’s his captain, and 3; if Chris goes out there on his own in the state that he’s in he will get himself killed.

I’m tired of this idea that Piers is some sort of powerful asshole that forces Chris into bad situations and is therefore responsible for all of Chris’s actions. It’s so dumb.

Piers isn’t some stupid manipulative person. From what we see he’s genuine, loyal, and even caring. He cared about continuing to fight the good fight, to help end bioterrorism. And he cared about Chris. He sacrificed himself for both. For the future.

I can understand loving a character a lot, but you can still recognize their faults. I love Chris, I do, but he did stupid shit and that’s on him. And that’s okay! Because fave characters aren’t always pure and innocent. and that’s fine! 

If you don’t like piers, then don’t like him. but don’t mischaracterize him to make others look good.

don’t make up some long-winded reason as to why and put it in the character tag for fuck’s sake. also talking about people who write him is unnecessary.

Because it’s rude to those who actually like the character. I thought that was an old tumblr rule to keep discourse out of the tags??  It feels so inflammatory. Which I’m sure it is. But it irritated me to the point where I bit the bait. fandom is supposed to be fun, if you’re gonna be negative like that keep it to yourself. 

#sorry for any and all typos or grammar issues i've been up for 20 hours #i'd talk about claire's absence in re6 but that probably has to do with how big the story was in re6 #like that's 4 campaigns #also it's of note that you kinda get an idea of what she's up to in the epilogue of rev2 #i saw the post and wanted to chime in but i'm not putting this in any searchable tags #i'm just like w o w #are we really doing this? #in this house we love and respect piers nivans #and actually pay attention to more than chris redfield's trauma #like other characters and how everyone interacts #and you know how some things don't have to be stated outright #because it's not unusual to leave things out that may either be implied or considered common knowledge #like rank #personal #vent #and yes i know the bsaa isn't the military i'm used to but its a military organization so?

Can my dnd character PLEASE stop evading every attempt at me trying to either develop her backstory or just anything

#the duck quacks #primrose i love you but girlie. you have got so little going on for a 1 year character STOP REFUSING TO LET ME GIVE YOU ANY NEW INFO #i always get blocked when i want to do something with her kglfdkgfd. my DM is asking what direction i wanna take her and like! i want to do #something! its just idk anything. our campaign was built for a oneshot and this character was also very much built for that. like she just #had a couple notes for playing (like 1-3 personality traits) and thats it hhhh. as the campaign got longer i thought id try to figure it ou #but! brain said no sadge #mmmight ask my dm if i can switch characters but idk. its been a year jgfkdgfd. someone else switched a bit ago tho so i might do the same? #idk. ill probably end up with th e same problem of sketching out a very basic character and not developing them JGKLFDJG #and i dont wanna play most of my premade characters bc theyre like a tad too complicated to introduce? that might just me being nervous #about playing them idk. roleplaying is harddddd and our dnd sessions are like super late for me so i never have the energy to focus on stay #ing in character #idk im jsut screaming into the void aaaaaaaa

A short list of shit the local murder hobo got up to before the campaign died (incomplete)

-started a fight in a tavern forcing us all to start wearing disguises

-left the rest of the party down and making death saves so he could spend a turn looting

-broke into an old woman’s shack and tried to guilt trip my character into saving his ass when she turned out to be stronger than him

-so many “threaten an npc for no reason” interactions

-spent the last session plotting how we should just start killing all of the towns guards video game style so they wouldn’t bother us any more

-loves to split the party. Constantly

-likes to let my friend and I roll play and move the plot and then reinsert himself in ways that, if left unchecked, end with him getting the lions share of loot or credit

-for example: our best session involved going to a fancy theater for info and realizing that we could also pickpocket (broke-ass bitches that we are). This was great fun until my friend and I decided to work together (guess who split off from us, again) to steal a chest right off one of the coaches. This went amazingly and our rolls and ideas worked to perfection. However, once murderhobo finally realized that we were going to succeed, he tried to interject with “well I suddenly see what they’re doing and I sneak behind everyone and grab the chest.” Bro. Not only did you split off from us because you got bored with the RP. You also checked out of the game entirely to play on your phone until you realized what we set up was actually cool and paid off. Needless to say, the DM shut that shut down and reminded him that it was his choice to go do something else instead of work with us

-also just a lot of gross “I’m doing this and the girls should go over there and do that” type of statements

This isn’t everything but it’s a little glimpse into ways that one asshole can suck the joy out of an otherwise fun campaign!!

#it doesn’t help that this is a person that I would avoid spending time with if he weren’t dating my best friend #so also worth noting!! is he’s doing all this and impeding his partners ability to enjoy a dnd campaign with friends

[thefaultinourchickennuggets]

going to be using a new app for note taking for tonight's dnd session. surely this will turn it all around for me <3

#mbop #personal #i am bad at taking notes fam #but i'm trying to be better! #i've been fairly consistent in 2 of my campaigns #i need to start doing it for the other

[warlordfelwinter]

where are all those oc ask games when you need them

#meaning when all i can or want to think about is an oc #maybe I'll just go through my ask game tag and take all the questions #and just put them in a doc and answer for celeste for my own entertainment #the other only thing i want to do is make his character sheet but i need to be back at my computer with all my books #and also go journal shopping for a campaign notes book #personal
