#tabletoppin

[creekfiend]

my DND character just tried to solve a mystery by finding a spider and then asking her what happened. unfortunately she is a spider so she extorted an insect meal from us in exchange for this information but we weren't sure how to obtain one so I cast dancing lights to try and attract flies but then our tabaxi character failed to catch one even rolling with advantage AND with guidance cast so our bard had to make a lamp using minor illusion and our halfling took some sticky sugar candy out of her pocket and a fly got stuck to it.

and then the spider didn't know anything anyway

WINNING

#tabletoppin #i love. dungeon and dragon. #collaborative group stupidity #later we told a mime about this and he was like a regular spider or a giant spider #and my character WHO IS IN A GIANT SPIDER CULT was like hahah a regular one of course. #giant spider??? that woulD BE RIDICULOUS

miri @prometheusascendant tagged me to talk about my OCs ten million years ago and i’m finally doin it. i am physically incapable of shutting up about them once i get started so this is goin under a cut

1st is Victrola, my retired player character from The Veil, a campaign run by the lovely and talented @bisexual-mollymauk. she recently reached the conclusion of her story arc and i’m grieving never being able to play her again a little bit... she’s a teenage girl in a cyberpunk future version of detroit with a robotic service dog named Crosley. her parents are music professors and she likes drumming, playing bass guitar, running, and circuses/carnivals. as a child she was involved in an experimental trial without the informed consent of her or her parents, and had a device called a neurochip implanted in her brain. everyone in this futuristic society has one, which allows them to interact with an augmented reality, but hers contained experimental technology that went haywire when she was fourteen. for two years she was dying without knowing why; then when she was sixteen she got involved in Shenanigans and ended up learning the truth behind her illness. to make a very long story short, she teamed up with her new friends to expose the company that experimented on her and then was incorporated into the augmented reality as a sentient but inhuman and fundamentally incomprehensible immortal being. the campaign is a story about late capitalism and unlikely friendship and finding hope in the darkest situations. iirc lydia (our DM) wanted to make a story about what happens when you’re faced with institutional oppression and suffering that you can’t hope to change, and how you keep fighting when there’s no way you can truly solve any of the problems you’re facing. on a personal level, she’s an exploration of my feelings about my own chronic incurable illness, and about the death of my father from terminal illness, my anger and grief and pain and hope. though i’m sad her story is over, it ended in a really satisfying place and i’m just happy to have been able to help tell it. you can listen to her playlist here and view her pinterest aesthetic board here. (picrew credit here)

2nd is Val, my awful memelord child.... they were one of the first tabletop characters i ever played, from Angels of Detroit run by @silver-falling-star. they were pretty much just me but with superpowers, in terms of personality and aesthetics. i’ve grown and changed a lot since their creation (at least in terms of personality, i still dress like a Hot Topic threw up on me) but their game has been on indefinite hiatus for about a long time now so they’re sort of not me anymore, a past me trapped in amber. they’re emotionally volatile from unmanaged PTSD, but very silly. they communicate solely through memes, they use their superpowers to shoplift constantly, and they’re famous on twitch & tiktok along with their twin sibling Flare, played by @1890s-kid.  their backstory is pretty dark; they and their two triplets Flare and Owen started developing powers after a traumatic car crash in eighth grade, and eventually their religious fundamentalist parents found out and tried to burn the witchcraft out of them. flare and val managed to escape and spent the next several years living on the streets of new york city; owen died. they eventually reunited with her as a ghost, but for a long time they grieved her. they joined a superhero team once they hit eighteen, and are now caught up in a mystery involving a murdered teammate. they live off ramen and monster energy drinks, run away from all their problems, and projectile vomit on people who annoy them. i love them. you can listen to a playlist of songs that describe their character arc here and a playlist of songs they would listen to here, and view their pinterest aesthetic board here. 

3rd is Friendship, my baby child. he’s a humanoid voyager probe created by an unnamed spacefaring species of massive benevolent whale-like creatures. he were sent to Earth to explore and learn about the human race, and at first he loved his job. he loved snow and grass and dogs and clouds and people, he loved people most of all. everything he saw was brand new to him and he loved all of it with his entire being. then he learned about pain, and sadness, and death, and war. he’s becoming Disillusioned with the world, and he hangs out with the world’s most dysfunctional group of teenage superheros ever, who are for the most part not the best at helping him through it. he causes a lot of Problems by being naïve and clueless and pacifistic to the extreme. because of some time travel fuckery, he’s now good friends with a teenager that his future self helped raise, and she’s trying to teach him about life in a gentle way. he’s younger than he appears in the picrew; i picture him looking about eight years old. you can listen to his playlist here, and you can view his pinterest aesthetic board here. 

4th and 5th are Sam/Beastie. she’s a murdered middle schooler who spontaneously resurrected into a huge horrible bird monster. when she was alive, she was a popular and athletic middle schooler who ran track and played pranks on her classmates with the help of her genius best friend, Sasha, created by @b-oredzoi. then one night she snuck out to walk to Sasha’s house, and along the way was kidnapped and brutally murdered. her corpse was dumped in a shallow grave in the woods, and after a few hours it shuddered and gasped and transformed into an alive but monstrous and memoryless creature that would come to be known as Beastie. she eventually reunited with Sasha a few years later, but Sasha didn’t recognize her and she didn’t remember Sasha. they ended up fighting crime together, and at some point Sasha realized who Beastie used to be, but doesn’t know how to change her back or if her former best friend is even still in there. (picrew credit here)

i have more OCs but these are my favorites... if you have read this far congratulations, you are a brave soul. i tag @rotwhyler @b-oredzoi @bisexual-mollymauk @silver-falling-star @1890s-kid and anyone else who wants to do it

i love my LARPing character so much she's literally just a regular human medical examiner who finds out about the existence of fantasy creatures and immediately starts asking them for blood and saliva samples. she's Good

6, 10, 19

6. Favorite death (monster, player character, NPC, etc)

one time my players were tasked with finding a powerful merchant’s missing daughter and when they discovered her corpse in a closet, instead of respectfully bringing her back to her father for burial, they cut off her hands and made soup out of them

there were no in-game benefits for doing this, all of my players were just chaotic evil IRL

10. Your favorite enemy and the enemy you hate the most.

i already talked about That Bitch Stacey here, she’s deffo my favorite. as for enemies i hate the most, i haven’t really created any that i hate that much, and we haven’t gotten far enough in any of the campaigns where i’m not DMing to really meet any Big Bads :0

19. Do you or your party have any dice superstitions?

look me in the eye and ask me that again, lee

i don’t care. i don’t give a damn about any of it.

“Really? Are you sure about that?” Bellamy is very casual, his tone light and his posture relaxed. His hands are stuck in the pocket of his inner hoodie, so it doesn’t look like he has arms, as per usual. “Usually, when someone feels the need to emphasize that they don’t care, they really do. Just, y’know. Sayin’.”

So on the side, I make stuff for some of the D&D games I DM. 

In honor of International Tabletop Day coming up on April 28th, I figured I’d give out some cool stuff.

Here is a Gorblin stat sheet to have some random fun, a slew of Groblins with names and a unique characteristic, and also just a place to draw stuff you collect on adventures! 

For anyone interested in how I used the Gorblins within the campaign, message me and I can give you some easy plug-n-play ideas. Always happy to talk about dungeonin’.

Happy tabletoppin’

very often when I see a d&d monster I'm hit by the irresistible urge to put a big cup over it and carry it outside

fulfilling the dream I never knew I had, which is getting to play the character in a tournament arc who goes darkmode and defects from the main character's team to join the rival team

We're just 5 days away from the Kickstarter launching, and I'm so excited and nervous for it!  . . Today, we get to introduce MY favorite class: the WARLOCK~ 😈 . . It's something about the class that is so perfect for introducing a weird mix of spook and magic and makes it so perfect for me!  . . These two classes were a challenge for me to draw, because they're both so heavily reliant on their gods and patrons, that I NEEDED to have some representative of that in there. The wings on the Paladain, I felt like were symbolic enough for a general deity. And I had the tentacles in there because my warlock's patron is the Kraken~ so you know, this design is totally catered towards me. 😂 . . #enamelpin #enamelpins #enamelpingame #enamelpindesign  #pins #pincollector #pinaddict #pincommunity #pinstagram #pinsofinstagram #pinsofig #pingame #pingamestrong #pinlover #pinmaker #pinspinspins #pindesign #pinflair #pingameproper #sugarcubedstudios #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dndpins #warlock #paladin #tabletoppins  https://www.instagram.com/p/CAS7FizFYMa/?igshid=9gmsegwaita0

4, 7, and 17 for nestfell!

4: what were the conditions surrounding their formative years?

nestfell grew up in a temple that was half-library, half-ossuary, in a culture that valued knowledge and history above all else. her species doesn’t really have family units, so she was raised communally by several dozen scholar-priests. the question of who her “real” family was is irrelevant; she doesn’t even have a concept of family. 

as a result of this upbringing, she has an underdeveloped sense of social relationships, a comfortable familiarity with death, and an appreciation for quiet spaces with lots of history.

7. is there anyone they’d die for? kill for?

not really! she’s a loner.

17. if they were in possession of a trio of wishes, what would their three wishes be?

to go back in time and prevent the fire that destroyed her temple, the fire which forced her to choose between saving a shelf of sacred texts or a child (she chose the texts)

to have access to every book ever written and the time to read them

to find some GODDAMN armor that fits her bizarre dinosaur-esque body

(confidently) they got fracking in the underdark

#in my dnd game i am a drow and so i get to decide what is normal in the underdark #so. fracking #tabletoppin

several of us have had to make secondary characters in one of my Exalted games, bc our main ones are kind of out away from the rest of the party for most scenes, so i finally get to take my most fucked up Abyssal yet out for a spin; guy who dresses in gaudy rotten corpse colors, rides a giant undead mandrill, plays the hurdy gurdy and does Green Knight shit to people

#the hurdy gurdy playing hasn't come up yet in game. but it will #tabletoppin
