hugs

thinking of the tightest hugs possible, ones that start so slow and hesitant with arms slowly circling around before they get tight, burying their head in the crook of the neck to hide the betraying emotions behind eyes screwed shut, perhaps flirting with the idea of a kiss on the cheek, fingers digging into the shoulders and where they meet the back to hold on as if it feels like the last time, a forlorn grimace when one pulls away because it wasn’t enough time to savor the feel/touch of another, interlocking fingers when you pull away as if it’s still enough (it’s not)

I wonder if Keyleth will involve the Arcana Pansophical. Ludinus is an arcane practitioner after all, and he is not respecting the three edicts... maybe he was a member and he is betraying them like that other demon summoner...

concept: the whole kira investigation is just a ttrpg light invented from scratch. it’s very cool in theory but there so many overlapping rules that it’s basically unplayable. misa and L are the only people who actually know what’s going on & that’s because they’re both head over heels for him and therefore spent a solid weekend highlighting the three hundred page PDF he sent everyone. L’s character dies in the first half but he creates a new one and comes back as mikami.

#death note #you use three dice & a deck of tarot cards & a set of tokens #there’s mechanic where players can share tokens amongst themselves but ONLY if they don’t get caught #if you get caught you need to draw three cards & make a saving throw with either your own d6 or the d6 of your partner depending on #whether you have an even or odd number of tokens and if you’ve drawn from the major arcana in the past thirteen turns #its partnered but the partners aren’t necessarily allied its more related to his Ethical Harmony mechanic #where Sacred actions (not synonymous with good) need to be balancd with Profane actions #matsuda and ide are partnered and constantly metagaming bc they genuinely do not understand how to not metagame if you’re actively trading #physical resources out of character #L and misa are partnered and they’re very good at it #light runs a little minigame for misa & L at some point thats a murder investigation in america #L makes a delightfully cringy character he loves & misa #reuses a beloved NPC from the main campaign #.txt

[we-are-a-dragon]

Tati (playing Seraph): Before I eat I want to make an Arcana check on the food. I pick up a macaron and surreptitiously sniff it.

Rach (playing Ashiok): Arcana check here too.

Hamish (playing Thaddeus): I want a Nature check for poisons.

DM: I want you each to make Bluff checks to be sneaky about this.

Tati: 40.

DM: Nice.

Hamish: ...22.

Rach: *winces* 18.

DM: So you two are just very obviously inspecting everything with big frowns on your faces. The Count watches you with narrowed eyes.

M (playing Kjell): I'm not making any checks, I trust they'll figure out if anything's wrong.

Adam (playing Billie): Yeah, I'm the empress, my stooges can poison check for me.

DM: There's nothing magical about the food. However, Thaddeus, as you peer blatantly into your goblet, you can see a smear of half-dissolved white powder in the cordial.

Hamish: *eyes widen* Oho! I manifest my wings and halo, shove the goblet toward him and thunder "What's this white powder in my cup?"

Tati: I drop the macaron I was sniffing.

DM: He recoils very slightly and laughs awkwardly. "White powder in your drink?? Well, I never..." He pulls up the arm of his chair-

Tati: I reach for my staff.

DM: And the chair tips him into a trapdoor underneath and pops back up without him.

Party: *erupts*

Debito: Yeah, okay. I’ll keep that in my mind

Debito: You heard him, Bambina. But if you ever want to make him jealous, I’m always here

Nova: I told you to stop that!

Debito: Can you not eat and talk at the same time?

Pace: But the food today is just the best!

Pace: Oh, Ojou, that wedding dress looks great on you. It must be hard to move in though

Pace: Here, I’ll share some caprese with you. Ahhh

Felicita: P-Pace…

~*Scene: Sera’s Room*~

Sera: “We’ll come to visit soon”, they say

Sera: It’s just like Nova to go out of his way to do that

Sera: Hm…is it because of the signorina next to you?

Sera: And this time, I’ll actually get you to tell me how you two fell in love

Sera: Alright, I should go order some glasswork from Dino as a present…

[youngster-monster]

I spent april drawing my friends and i’s dnd characters as tarot cards and dare i say it? they fuck severely.

shout out to the mysterious sixth member who we know Nothing about beyond the fact that he’s represented by the fucking Tower

(check under the cut for character info and cards meaning)

Shardinë ‘Sardine’ / The Fool (new beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, free spirit)

She/her. A 19 year old fish person raised by an elderly fishmonger on an isolated island. This adventure is her first time leaving her grandmother, and somehow she’s the most competent of the five anyway.

Mercenaire / Seven of Wands (challenge, protection, perseverance)

He/him. A 38 year old one-armed mercenary with a protective streak a miles wide. Standing at 6′11 feet, he’s considered tiny for the clan of giant dragon worshipers from which he was banished. Believes himself to be cursed to bring bad luck and death to those who hear his name and see his face. Completely face blind. A dad and a friend!

Dukaan / The Tower (upheaval, chaos, disaster)

He/him, and that’s all we know

Ménéhyl of Stormwind / The Star (hope, faith, renewal)

She/her. 20 year old, yet the most naive of the group. Dreams of a fairy tale romance. The daughter of rich textile merchants from a hyper-religious queendom that abhors the very concept of death, she’s recently been revealed to have Death Magic, so you can imagine the kind of stress she’s under

Zarïa ‘Juvisy’ / Justice reversed (dishonesty, unaccountability, unfairness)

She/her. The 19 year old runaway princess of a recently overthrown kingdom. She’s vain, hates men, loves money, and is constantly running away from the consequences of her own actions, from lying about her real name to hiring Mercenaire to protect her and then sending guards after him when his price ended up too high and he took all her money. Currently spying on Oriû on behalf of people who would much rather see him dead.

Oriû, son of Galat / Judgement (judgement, rebirth, inner calling, absolution)

He/him. A 25 year old rebel from the people that Zarïa’s kind has been oppressing for over a century. A poet with a strong sense of right and wrong, he’d like to be nonviolent but will not stand idle in the face of injustice. The rebellion he’s a part of is directly responsible for the death of Zarïa’s family — but they’re not aware of that yet. Ménéhyl accidentally killed his brother with her newfound powers but he’s being a good sport about it.

#my art #dnd ocs #tarot cards #idk what to even tag this with #art school dnd #(campaign tag) #more thoughts: #you can't see it but there are little shark details on shardine's harpoon #mercenaire is literally named 'mercenary' yes #and he's the only minor arcana because he considers himself to be a secondary character in his own life #(also: it's somewhat of an in-joke that he looks like an interchangeable guard npc) #(he's my son and i love him so much) #the constellation above menehyl is the flying fish because that's our group's silly nickname #following a circus performance #but it's just a placeholder while our dm come up with the actual Holy Constellation at the center of her religion #and the flowers around her are an actual fixture of her country's landscape! #the flower in the cage zaria is holding is a sacred plant to oriu's people #the bird on oriu's card is based on a diving osprey and a golden saker falcon! #the tree on the card is one sacred to his people supposed to only grow at the peak of the tallest hills and protecting the bodies of the #dead #and the map underneath is that of his homeland #also the scar on his face is VERY recent (last session) #please ask me about our campaign i'm dying to talk about our campaign #i have doodles i have theories i have a WIKI (in french unfortunately)

An NPC for your AD&D games: Rocky Balboona

Not too long ago, a pudgy neckbearded youth wearing a weird hat stumbled upon the lost city of Xitaqa, while searching for herbs and rare toxins for his alchemical experiments. He was attacked by a group of rock baboons, and, finding himself unable to fight them off, escaped through the use of a smoke grenade he had created for such occasions. While making his escape, one of the rock baboons tore open the man's bag, causing a number of vials and flasks to fall to the ground. One of the rock baboons snatched the objects and greedily gulped down the liquids.

The young man whose potions were stolen, above

As time passed, the baboon found its understanding increasing, recognizing itself as a distinct being, grasping the rudiments of the languages spoken by the hairless baboons and the crooked smelly baboons.

He snuck around, listened to their speech, stole from them. The one type were called "men" or "humans," the other were called "goblins."

When the humans saw him, they chased him away, calling him a "rock baboon." He heard their words, and at first misunderstood, thinking this was his name, which he heard as "Rocky Balboona."

When the goblins saw him, they tried to order him around, but he understood humor, laughing at them and playing pranks on them.

He stole clothing, in imitation of the humans he saw, and learned to use a sword, though he much preferred to use his fists, or even to bite. He found he could move faster, jump farther, and climb better than his rock baboon brethren. He could blend into surroundings like a ghost, ambushing enemies and catching them off-guard with ease.

For quite a while he has survived around the lost city, hunting and foraging, and stealing from the humans and goblins, and entertaining himself by playing tricks on them. He is currently enjoying one of the human's strong beverages in a room in the tall tower in the middle of the city.

Sample dialogue: "They can't beat me! I'll bite their faces off!" "Keep away from me, wizard. Use any of that magic on me and I'll rip your arm off and beat you with it!"

Rocky Balboona Natural AC: 4 With Dex: -10 Natural HD: 2 HP: 16(natural) + 1 lvl Barbarian = 33(I always max level 1 HP) Move 150' Bite 1d3+4 Alignment: CN Languages: Rock Baboon, Common, Goblinese

Str 18/77 +1/+2 Dex 22 +4 reaction/+4 missile/-5 AC(-16 as barbarian) Con 19 +5 HP/level, 1s are considered 2s Int 9 Wis 4 Cha 11

[image description: photos of The Disco Elysium Tarot, printed letterpress in an edition of one from handset lead type and linoleum blocks. It is a complete 78-card tarot deck printed primarily with white text and illustrations on medium grey cardstock, in a custom dark grey hardcase box with a hand-marbled orange and yellow endsheet. The backs of the deck are decorated with an illustration of a sprig of may bells, and a quote from Smallest Church in Saint-Saëns: "None of this matters at all." The interpretive meaning of each card is expressed on its face with a small excerpt of the game's text. The Minor Arcana are divided into four suits of Harry's Attributes—Motorics, Psyche, Physique, Intellect—and each card in that suit is a quote from a skill under that Attribute. The Major Arcana are assigned quotes from other sources like NPC dialogue or Thought Cabinet problems & solutions. Pips for the Minors are counted with diamonds like the game's skill points; each actor or title is printed with their in-game color, but made shiny & metallic with bronzing powder.

each piece of text was set in handset lead type, assembled from individual pieces for each letter and space, and printed relief on a chandler & price clamshell press. end description.]

🎊🎊 Desert Bus for Hope starts for 2023 on nov. 11th and i have made an item this year for the craftalong that will be up for giveaway between 6am-12pm on Monday the 13th! 🎊🎊 It is a full tarot deck based on Disco Elysium and it has several pieces of my heart & soul in it but NOT my blood because i put a bandaid right on that :) donations for this and any other auctions & giveaways for Desert Bus go to Child's Play Charity.

notes: i did not make a whole new interpretive model for this deck, apologies, that was outside of my scope. it's generally compatible with a Rider-Waite model, with Motorics for Wands, Psyche for Cups, Physique for Swords, and Intellect for Disks. (full distribution of text listed by card, linked below. any spelling or transcription errors you find there, i promise i fixed them in print—that's copied from my digital mockup which was copied hastily from screenshots.)

i also do not track hours on these kinds of projects because that way lies madness, but i will say: i knew how much time it would take to print it. it was a lot but i was not worried about it, i know how to print. i was very worried about how much time it would take to absorb the sheer amount of text, and distribute it across the cards, and really get an array i believe in. i was right to worry, and i have absolutely had a few anxious nightmares about discovering the Perfect excerpt that should've gone in and i missed it, and the suit of Intellect made me want to lay on the floor a few times, but still! i believe there's many versions of a deck you could make from this game and this one is a good one.

i think the Minors fit really well with the double-edged sword of Harry's skills, their advice, their priorities. the circular way the Fool-World assignment works out makes me smile every time. The colors on The Star came out so nice. i think Justice fulfills some of my favorite things about Kim's character & purpose in the story. i worried sometimes that editing to such short clips would lose too much of the politics of the game, but of course you can't really take them out and they're especially present in the Majors—the Devil and the Hierophant, The Star and The Sun. i've wanted to design a tarot deck for years and i love this game deeply and i let this idea percolate for a few months and it never stopped making me laugh so here it is, & given a beautiful purpose :)

i also literally could not have done this without xyrilin's Disco Reader and the FAYDE On-Air Playback Experiment to navigate the dialogue and skill checks. Really couldn’t have tied the whole concept & colophon in its final bow without the Disco Reader :)) thank thank thank, they're so fun to investigate that it was honestly very difficult to focus on my task instead of veering off and exploring every branch in an extremely disorganized way.

actual printing went well honestly, very few problems! i think that means i'm getting pretty good at planning one of these monstrosities, although perhaps it also means i'm not challenging myself enough. hmm. no that's silly there's 78 ding dang cards in this thing. anyway the drop & replace formes worked well, no registration issues. mum convinced me to overprint another half a deck's worth of cards when I was printing backs & borders and of course she was right :/ there were a handful of cards that actually had better line breaks and fewer lines total in true type than in the digital mockup, so i needed all the spares I had to put those new short quotes into the appropriate border breakage. next time i will not question her.

handset in Garamond, Eden Bold, and secret Neuland.

WIP : full text card assignments

bonus photo of the kind of trash notes i always take to plan things like how many borders were printed with space for short excerpts vs long excerpts, and how many of those are majors vs. minors, because they have a slightly different frame at the bottom edge, etc.

[image description: they are truly garbage notes, i tell you. half of it is written at angles to the other half, many numbers in the math problems are not labeled, mistakes are scribbled over. it gets me there but it doesn't look pretty. end description.]

[blood-orange-juice]

A friend of mine recently stumbled upon a few genshin-based Tarot decks and the choices people make are so random. For example, one has Tartaglia as Hierophant, the other one drew him as a Page of Pentacles. Really?

I mean, I could make a deck with this guy alone, no other characters (except for NPC roles) but that's a different case.

If I had to pick him for any major arcana it would probably be The Moon. Illusions, irreality, nothing being what it seems, the need to pass between extreme choices because the real goal lies further ahead.

(but also literally anything else. The Fool, The Magician, The Chariot, The Wheel of Fortune, The Star even)

I'm also having fun choosing the best pair for The Lovers. Ideally it's not about romantic love, it's about difficult choices. Also the connections to other cards make someone Khaenriah-related preferable.

This means the best fitting pair of characters would be Kaleluc. Which... you know. I don't even ship these two.

(I pondered about Chilumi for a while, they'd look perfect aesthetically, but there's in fact no choice in that story. the illusion of choice only exists in fanon)

(if I could draw, I'd probably draw a Problematic Genshin Tarot

mpreg for The Empress. don't thank me)

#*vibrating* #I want to talk about it #please talk to me about it #I love tarot symbolism #a good tarot deck is a way of telling a story #trying to fit an existing setting into one always highlights so many hidden connections if done thoughtfully #childe #tartaglia #hmm #do I want to order tartaglia tarot from some artist #it would cost a fortune but also I really want a good genshin deck #at least the major arcana

DM: You have the BBEG tied up on the stage.

Hamish (playing Hunter): I don't trust him. I want to non-lethally knock him out.

DM: Alright, you dash his head against the stage and his eyes roll back.

Lyra (playing Hesty): I want to search his pockets.

DM: You find a handful of gold, a journal, and a blue jewel lined with red cracks.

Lyra: Is this the missing Keystone??

DM: It fits the description you had, except for the glowing blood-red material within the cracks all over its surface.

Rach (playing Gregor): Can I do an Arcana check?

DM: The jewel is extremely magical, but you also sense a demonic presence.

Rach: Ah. That explains a lot.
