in loving memory of our dearly departed druid, here’s some of my favorite drawings of Fen

hi guys i'm posting again. as much as i love playing characters who have a self-preservation instinct it's so much EASIER to play characters who do not have one even at all especially in situations Like This

#cw:fire #c:megadungeon #cha:alessi #or really like alessi thinks they don't NEED a self-preservation instinct bc their saint and their holy purpose is preserving them #but it was so EASY to just be like 'yeah i charge into the burning building yeah i keep going deeper into the fire yeah i grab the searing- #hot door handle. there's a person in there who might possibly still be alive!' i didn't even have to THINK about it #and not even like. not even a person they KNEW especially well just A Person #and they still couldn't actually get her out alive :( but they still gave it all they had and still managed to get her body out #[i'm going to need to take this next two weeks (:() b4 we play to figure out how they feel about that. beyond 'angry at ragnarr'] #i was getting a little worried in there tbh! 14 hp is not very much to end up with! but i didn't have to even consider turning around #and alessi wasn't even a little bit worried about it they knew they'd be fine #that's clerics <3 kings of getting into situations and getting other people out of situations and NOT getting themselves out of situations #and it's such a fun contrast w my other active megadungeon guy being salvador who DOES have the hit-da-bricks instinct #was introduced as the sole survivor of a tpk! #and the fun tension that gives w him being a guy who Does walk the edge of death frequently #and who HAS that castillian bravado and that bravery sword and who IS a bit of a risk taker even just for the sake of taking risks #but who also knows when to get the hell out of dodge bc if you want to stay alive you have to keep yourself alive. and for now he'd really #rather like to be alive! #cha:salvador #okay NOW i'm going shopping #love when meg puts me in a situation <3

wow seeing nicki's art gave me that "haha what if i run another game" bug back again :')

#i was so so burnt out by the time we finished sof even tho i was happy with how it ended but now like eight months later...ahaha what if... #i just feel like such a scrub for the fact that the main thing i want to run is still dnd fifth edition but. unfortunately-- #but maybe i'll re-read blades. give it a shot.

realized i didn’t post art for like a year and a half so i’m finding old stuff to post now. my motw campaign has been over for ages now. but for a whole we were stuck in a time loop of the moments before the end of the world so that was awesome

#:D #one of my favorite scenes/sequences from that game for Sure. maybe my very favorite tbh #what can i say. as a dm i love a Cinematic Scene. #c:motw

Character optimization is in no way at odds with "roleplaying." For example, my character has picked the most effective character options available to him because I'm trying to embody his ideal of "doesn't want to die in a dungeon."

#AMEN BROTHER! #c:megadungeon #<-- and also every other character i've ever played but that's the one where we're In A Dungeon

i love monks in dnd because the guy on the battlefield armed with only his fists doesn't seem very threatening until he starts sprinting toward you at 69 miles per hour

Day three: a rogue’s sword.

A rare masterwork weapon, this is a compact sword with an ornate hilt featuring a six-winged barn owl. It’s enchanted so that anyone cut with it - even the tiniest nick - cannot utter a sound for about 20 seconds. It’s been used in a number of high-profile assassinations and passed from rogue to rogue over the centuries (sometimes with the death of the incumbent user…)

#wait. awesome item.

everyones got that homie who, within the depths of the dungeon, found a cruel facsimile of that which he desired most, and was corrupted absolutely

#MEGADUNGEON. THIS IS MEGADUNGEON #really elio and max should both be 'the man that god hates' but i think we can get away with max as terrible vampire to make it line up #as recent events have illustrated. terrible (refusing to be one) #c:megadungeon

the githyanki city our party went to was built in the body of a fourth dimensional creature that got compressed down into 3D 👀

#hey claire tell your dm that's sick as hell #others' ocs #that tag should really be 'others' games' at this point but oh well

overly specific dnd meme that could also be about godhood if you think about it
