#waffles the owlbear

[owlbear33]

the other thing I see frequently in TTRPG youtube is that any remotely crunchy system, from 5e up, is just too much for kids, or if you give the (5e) core-book to any working adult they'll just panic at how much rules there are, and as such you should play their choice of rules-lite system instead

and sure if you just hand someone the PHB they will panic, but since when has that been the way to introduce someone new to the hobby, like jusus fuck,

no, you sit them down with the PHB (or your choice of player-facing RPG core-book) and you walk them through genning their first character, you give a basic instruction of how stuff works, and you prepare to do a bit of handholding through the first session or so, or you let them pick from a handful of pregen characters, basic instructions, handholding through the first session or so

if your first introduction to ttrpgs was someone throwing a book at you with the suggestion you read it, they did you a disservice

... i missed getting the owlbear

twice ( ._.)

looking it up ppl are saying if you killed through the goblin camp before they capture them they'll just show up at your camp so that saves me from restarting 10 hours back.

#i need my owlbear bby. i need waffles!

Tonight’s DnD session went off the rails. The party was called in to deal with a black dragon masquerading as an orc. She’s warmongering and causing havoc, but we cannot out her as a dragon for political reasons. So we need to neutralize her. Our goal is to humiliate her and lose her following.

We challenge her to single combat. We waffle on whether the party half-elf fighter/cleric should face her or our bunnyfolk barbarian, but we know she’s an adult dragon so it’s dicey to face her one on one.

Then I say, “What if… I use Greater Invisibilty on the barbarian?”

This causes much hilarity. The dragon would have blindsight and know that he was there but would look insane shouting about invisible rabbits. We decide he should sit atop the half-elf’s shoulders.

“But what if she knocks him off?”

We consider this. Then the DM goes, “You guys have that saddle…”

And we do. We have a magic saddle that you cannot be unseated from. But then we’d need the half elf to wear the saddle on her shoulders which would give the game away unless we could disguise it. A conundrum. Except!

The DM gave our characters a magic bond. We can cast any spell on each other regardless of distance. So my bard used Disguise Self to make the saddle disappear, we put the barbarian on the cleric with Greater Invisibility and send them into battle.

Midway through the dragon just calls in an owlbear. Not to maul our cleric but to just indiscriminately attack all parties. So there’s a bunnyfolk riding around on a half elf fighting a dragon disguised as an orc while an owlbear ran around mauling people until our Druid made friends with it from the sidelines.

The barbarian took a feat to get some on brand spells and at about 1/3 of her health he used Command to get her to submit. It was really low odds she’d fail her save but she rolled a nat one.

She dropped her weapon and kneeled. The party started screeching victory and her horde promptly forsook her and we were all utterly delighted.

Some menu items:

Beast Burger: A monstrous patty made from the finest owlbear meat, topped with fire-roasted tomatoes and arcane-aged cheese.

Mage’s Meal: A magical combo that includes a crystal-breaded chicken sandwich, enchanted fries, and a potion of cola.

Rogue’s Wrap: A stealthy selection of thinly sliced griffon breast, wrapped in a secret-herb flatbread with a side of invisibility onion rings.

Cleric’s Comfort: Divine fish sticks served with a side of blessed tartar sauce and celestial coleslaw.

Wizard’s Waffle Fries: Crispy, golden fries dusted with a spellbinding seasoning that changes flavor with every bite.

Once Upon a Witchlight: Episode 47 (SPOILERS AHEAD)

We’re on a red and white checkerboard??

Blonde elven boy?? Is this the prince that Morgana likes?

Old lady with metal teeth??? Grandma??

Three pieces of a sword going into different time zones and cauldrons, the hags??

We’re alive!!! In a mushroom circle on a bed of roses in the shape of a heart?? THE KING OF HEARTS??

“Fellas? Gid?” The fact that he called for Gideon specifically makes me ship my dads so much!!

I would definitely be crying when I woke up, just happy to see my family again

I’m calling it, the white queen is either the Mama Hag or Zybilna and He’s not telling the party the whole truth

This is all so damn weird, like was all of the last few episodes a dream or was it real???

Alegeorgie and symbologie are my two favorite new words

JINGLE JANGLE?? NOOOOOO

Alegeorgeical lmao

EEEEWWWW, BITING INTO A ICE CREAM WITH METAL TEETH. WTF MIKEY???

YOOOOO, IS MY THEORY ABOUT THE KING BEING THE DUDE THAT HURT TORBEK GONNA BE CANON?

So I think: Zybilna and the king are secretly evil/ were evil at one point and that they're not telling the group the whole truth

👉🏻👈🏻 Mace doing the finger touchys is so funny, Gideon WOULD seek out the monster that just killed em all for a rematch

“WOULD YA KINDLY SHUT THE FUCK UP?” Omfg Kremy is PISSED at Gricko for teasing Gideon

NAT 20 FROM GRICKO BUT NIKKIE DREADED IT

YAY WAFFLES!!! I LOVE WAFFLES!!!

JAKE LONG THE AMERICAN DRAGON REFERENCE YESSSS, I LOVED THAT SHOW

Gricko helping the adult owlbear is so cute, I hope they take it with them as Hootsie’s mum

Red panda hootsie uwu

Is the owlbear named Juniper? That's so cute!!

“JUNIPER BERRYDIS NUTS IN YOUR FACE!!!” *Gricko and I high-five*

Tallman

OH FUCK, A SYRINGE FULL OF WITCHLIGHT

Hootsie driving the caravan!!!

Please don't inject yourselves with the syringe

“I crush its mind” FROSTY WHAT THE FUCK

Torbek’s favorite movie is mean girls and I LOVE that about him

NATTY 20 FOR STEALING FROM AN OLD MAN FOR TORBEK, PROUD OF YOU BESTIE!!

“I'm starting to feel a little guilty” “What's that like?” GIDEON BURNS FROST /J

Kremy is getting greedy, they’re gonna get in a fight I swear

NATTY 20 FOR GRICKO!!!!

My S/I would probably want to stop after the initial 100,000,00 gold they got but wouldn't stop cause they want Kremy to be proud of them

I love Andy and his Torbek faces, they’re so silly fr fr

OH NOOOOOO, A FUCKING CLOWN EPISODE????

AND WE’RE ENCUMBERED???

Day 8 - Favourite Creature

Owlbears. Gotta be owlbears.

A goofy idea in your head. A bear with the head of an owl? Little do your players know that it can rend you limb from limb.

Here is Waffles with her favourite trash witch given her scritches

I hope Taliesin Jaffe knows that I would die for every single one of his characters and yes that list includes AND starts with The Owlbear.

With all this talk of pie... We hope you still have room for Waffles (in your heart)! BTW... Owlbear is Best bear in D&D and beyond.

Here, have another wafflecrew edit!

For those unfamiliar, that little jester-dude shoots tranquilizer darts sometimes, so I thought I’d turn it into a sleep-aid ad. Layout and tagline based on a ZzzQuil advert. Not spons. :p

(It’s hard to see, but they all have darts sticking out of their necks, haha.)

I kinda want more interesting fantasy in my ttrpgs, I've been running DnD 5e (as mentioned elsewhere), but specifically, I've been running the most handholdy adventure ever, Lost Mines of Phandelver, and like don't get me wrong it's a decent adventure,( it's a starter adventure, the handholdyness is a bonus, I wish other [official 5e] adventures were half as good at instructing you how to run them, I'm a long time player but really a novice GM) it's fine, but it's also very "standard" fantasy, it's centred around a village, with farms, and an inn, there's an old ruined manor up the hill, there are ruins about, it's not far from some more serious mountains, it's got a forest full of goblins, in a large part the plot centres around those goblins, and again this is all fine. but I kinda want something with more interesting world-building

I've played a lot (and run a bit) of exalted (mix of 2.5 and 3e) and I love it in part (and only in part) from its massive difference from your standard "Tolkienesque" fantasy, but really it just swaps that standard for a different one, inherited more from the classical myths of Asia than northern Europe (not just that mind it draws from world myth more generally, )

I've recently been looking at Wildsea, not too close a look, more of a glance really, but it looks so cool, not 100% sold on the system, but that's one setting with one system, I want more

#owlbear grumbling #ttrpg waffle #and this is just generalised grubling #I have only given wildsea a quick look #I don't want to sell the worldbuilding of exalted short #it's one of my fave RPGs and that's largely because of the setting #I want to clarify I'm not really after zany weirdness #I like coherent worldbuilding #unless you're doing something really cool with it no more elves #but don't be weird about your lack of elves #see my Talislanta snark

Inktober Day 7

Inktober has become an excuse for me to draw all the fanart I've been hoarding in my brain forever. Here's Diath, Strix and Waffles from that time they finally got Strix to sleep after days of being understandably paranoid about the evil people coming to get them! Also, the Death Curse! Fun times!!
