My first essay of the year is on Connie Chang's "Godkiller!" It's an intimate duet game in a long line of media about putting Gods to the sword. I took a brief look at the history of deicide, and how Chang worked those ideas into the text!
Submitted for the approval of the Tumblr Review Board, I call this fever dream:
This idea's been percolating in my head since the end of Exandria Unlimited: Calamity--the desire to see Aabria, Matt, and Brennan playing together with not one of them as the Dungeon Master. And the idea pretty much got stuck there for a while.
And then Dropout TV's Adventuring Academy came back and I learned about Connie Chang, and I saw that they had unbelievable chemistry with Brennan, and it made me want to see them play together in a game too.
Murph came into this dream cast because he has such a different energy over at Naddpod that... it made me wonder how he'll play in a group where everyone's a DM.
Last but not the least, Jasmine Bhullar. I don't actually know how to explain why I want her in my dream cast. There's just something about her energy, her vibe, that tells me she's going to make this cast come together in a way that's totally unexpected.
I'm not going to say what my dream campaign would be like for these fine folks. I'm sure whatever I think of will not be as good as what they can come up with.
What I do want to share though is my choice for Dungeon Master... and it's the tandem of Zac Oyama and Lou Wilson. Initially, my idea was that there would be a rotating set of DMs, with Emily Axford, Amy Vorpahl, and Deborah Ann Woll joining these fine men. But it might just end up too chaotic. So, instead, I'm just going to manifest this duo who can pull themselves back when it becomes too chaotic, but would also nurture the chaos when it does arrive.
And so I hand this dream to you, Tumblr Review Board, for your feedback, your guidance, and your verdict. Is this a dream worth manifesting?
It’s time to meet the cast of Campaign II: The Chaos Protocol — starting, of course, with our STORYTELLER.
Let’s reintroduce your Weaver of Truth and Lies, your Fate, your Oblivion, your Salvation, and your Beloved Evil GM: Connie Chang. Connie is expanding the Transplanarverse past the limits of Everything it was before. Are you ready for CHAOS?
We’ll keep updating this account every few days of Pride month — so stay tuned. Our first player reveal is imminent.
i just started transplanar rpg and holy shit!! right out of the gate episode one this is some of the most creative and engaging combat Ive ever listened to, Connie is incredible!!!!
Something to post for the meantime that I can't draw anything new! This patreon request from 2022! They have a little more anime-ish facial features for some reason. (Must be my inspiration at the time.)
They're dressed up because of some important event. It was Connie's day, (a promotion? Idk what specifically tho.) but she just wanted a simple makeup so Steven toned down his own to hopefully not take the attention away from her.
Page 2 might be confusing. There's a headcanon that Steven can store a couple of things in his gem, and here he positioned their hands over his stomach to place the glow bracelet.
To disclose!! (if I'm using the word correctly?) , there's a NSFW continuation of this. So be warned.
