This session, the group arrived in Candlenut town, a small country town that is home to old history and lots of Ghost Pokemon. We go shopping for Pokemon items and groceries (Cole being gifted peasant confectionaries) and then set ourselves in a booking in a themed inn for the night. We go explore in the woods nearby to hunt Pokemon, and then retire for the night.
Kendra chooses to stay in the special "Spooky Room", that leans into the town's haunted vibe. During the night, Kendra is wracked by unnerving sounds, penetrating gazes from frightful paintings, and even though they try to find some physical explanation for the phenomenon, logic elludes them, and they lose a lot of sleep.
Meanwhile, Darryl and Cole are awoken by a loud crash outside, and look out to see a fire on the street below. Assuming his Water type expertise might be helpful, Darryl leaves his room to go down and help, Cole following him. After his Piplup puts out the fire, Darryl and Cole ask around to find out what happened, learning about the possible involvement of a tech company called "Future Industries". It seems this bike might belong to the company, but the missing rider has stolen it.
In the morning, the group leave to do some training before leaving town, and Darryl explains what he found to the police who have now arrived on time. The police seem concerned by some details and ask us to forget everything we've seen, and go. After Kendra fails to get explanation out of the hotel as to what spookiness actually happened last night, we visit a souvineer shop, and hop on the bus to next town, Tamwah.

So I drew this to turn it into a real life animation cel style artwork which I did, but I decided the colors weren't correct so I want to do it again. Unfortunately, I've been fighting with my printer for the last 24 hours so will my dreams come true? Who knows. Sophie is still pretty though 💅

Dungeons & Dragons 2022
Tumblr media
This year's D&D play was a bit sporadic and infrequent compared to previous years. My D&D 2020 post had 9 player characters compared to this year's 4, but to be fair, in 2020 we played Tomb of Annihilation and I don't think I'm ever gonna have such a quick player character turnover again. In 2022, a lot of adult life got in the way; schedule clashes meant games weren't happening or even just a lack of free time during the week meant DMs couldn't set aside time to plan.
But even after all that, we had some good D&D games this year. We finally reached the conclusion of two campaigns we've playing on and off since 2020. We started playing in a new system called Pokémon Tabletop United (so this isn't a celebration of just D&D anymore). I also had more of a go DMing myself, and even if that doesn't translate to another player character in this artwork, it was more Tabletop RPGing
Tumblr media
The Stats:
I played 22 sessions of TTRPGs in some form this year
(I'm counting 1 that was played after the D&D 2021 piece right at the end of December)
This translated into 21 Session artworks (one Everift Session had 2 artworks, three Ravnica sessions were condensed into one artwork).
I was a player character within 3 campaigns and a DM in 1 campaign and 1 One-Shot.
Everift concluded after 22 sessions. Sessions 1-10 were played in 2020, sessions 11-19 were played in 2021, and sessions 20-22 were played this year, 2022.
Ravnica concluded after 29 sessions. Sessions 1-2 were played in 2020, sessions 3-21 were played in 2021, and sessions 22-29 were played this year.
The Lich Queen saga, which I DM'd in two substories, is not concluded, but I've decided to put it on hiatus for now, hoping to DM a module campaign next year.
Veritas Stadium had sessions 1-3 last year, and session 4 this year. Rise of the Lich Queen had sessions 1-6 last year, and sessions 7-10 this year.
Pokémon Oster, our PTU campaign was started this year, and we've played 5 sessions, and it is highly likely to continue next year.
In Our Midst, my take on Among Us in D&D form, was the Halloween One-Shot for the year.
The Characters:
Tumblr media
Nevaeh Cadaver was one of my first two D&D characters I made. The other, Hawthorne, I made as a reflection of the sensible but crafty side of me. He was a thief, but one who made plans, considered all options, and was a bit nerdy. Nevaeh on the other hand was my chaotic side. Impulsive, acted without thinking, and often without the wellbeing of others in mind.
Last year when I discussed Nevaeh in my D&D 2021 characters, I said she did not outright seek the destruction of others, just was apathetic, and would work with others toward her goal. In the final few sessions of the campaign, I played more into the chaotic side of Nevaeh, and what began as a character prone to evil turned into an evil character. She betrayed her party of allies and sided with the BBEG to bring about the bad ending, and she succeeded. As such I think it only fitting that Nevaeh's alignment change again from Neutral Evil to Chaotic Evil.
It was a fun ending to a campaign but bitter sweet, and thankfully the other players don't resent me too much for it, since Nevaeh was only ever one decision away from becoming a villain.
Tumblr media
Sister Mira was one of my favourite character's I've ever made. Both in terms of gameplay and design. As discussed in another post, Mira's design came about by combining ideas from several priestly sort of characters, and her staff, which is mechanically a mace, is topped with the symbol reminiscent of the Selesnya sigil. Mira is also my first serious attempt at a support character, and I must say I really did enjoy the experience, and wanna play more more support characters in the future.
Mira met her end during a boss encounter toward the end of Ravnica. She had tried her best to make sure everyone else made it, and perished from a deadly poison. She was the only character to die during the encounter however, so even if I had to move on from her, she fulfilled her philosophy.
Tumblr media
Boltz was my fifth and final character for Ravnica. And although he looks over designed on the outset, I really approached Boltz with a couple simple ideas. I wanted to play an Armourer, so I could do a character from a shorter species but have them in a mech that made them regular person height. This idea was originally a Kobold, but since Ravnica doesn't have Kobolds, he became a Goblin. The other was the name Boltz was to be pronounced German, and he'd have a German accent in character.
This because 1. German accents can be funny, and 2. There's this board game our friend group plays called Secret Hitler, and I wanted Boltz to be secretly a spy, Dimir. My own little secret Hitler. An Artificer was interesting to play for the time I used him, but I really didn't get that much play time in for Boltz (5 short sessions, and only 2 combat encounters), so I'd like to play with a character like him again later.
Tumblr media
Darryl Fisher was my trainer character for Pokemon Tabletop United. PTU is a very different game, so instead of classes and races, your trainer character has stats to help them in and out of battle, and can take Features and Edges which function similarly to Feats and Class Features in D&D. Our PTU game is set in the fictional Pokémon Region of "Oster", an Australian based region, so when brainstorming a character I decided on the type of surfer/fisherman guy you'd see at Bondi Beach.
In Pokémon, my favourite type by far is the Water type, so when building Darryl, I picked the feature Type Ace, so I could focus on Water types. In fact, I have given myself the hard rule to only train Water type Pokémon. Since the Regional Dex will be 99% old Pokémon, our DM told us our starters could be anything we could reasonably argue as Australian, so I picked Piplup as a nod to Australian Fairy Penguins. When doing the trainer and session art for Pokémon Oster, I tried to replicate the style Artist Ken Sugimori did for Gen 1 and 2 Pokémon.
Going Forward
So, excluding Darryl, none of these characters will be present in next year's D&D 2023. We didn't play a lot of D&D towards the end of this year, but a lot of of the scheduling issues was to do with circumstances that hopefully will have gotten better by early next year.
I'm looking forward to starting new campaigns, both as DM and as player, and I definitely have ideas in spades for new characters. I'm also interested to see where PTU goes. And another friend has suggest yet another new system to play in called "Fate", so by next year, maybe it won't be D&D 2023. Maybe I'll have to call it TTRPGs 2023. Above all else, I hope I get see more of my friends.

There are pokemon ttrpgs?
yes! the two ive been looking into are pokemon tabletop united which is very rules- and mechanics-heavy, in a way that seasoned competitive players might like, and pokeymanz, which is much more lighthearted, simple, and focused on narrative building.
ive also created a few of my own systems, but I'm not a game designer and some are outdated. these include monsters and magikarp, a ttrpg focused on playing as pokemon ala pokemon mystery dungeon, and a more recent game with the temp name ptu lite, based on pokemon tabletop united, but cutting out a lot of complicated mechanics and including a few additional gimmicks.
rn I'm trying to take PTU lite into a genuinely playable version, and that includes synthesizing some information from pokeymanz! it has a really fun battle system where pokemon don't lose HP, but instead accrue Wounds, and are KOed when they hit 3 Wounds instead of reaching 0 HP. the flipside of pokeymanz's system is that a lot of standard pokemon moves don't translate well into this format; a move whose whole gimmick is "does a lot of damage" doesn't really work when you can only do 3 damage to start, and a move like Endeavor or Pain Split has to be rewritten entirely to function with the mechanics.
I have tables and indices for PTU lite, and I'm trying to keep them operative; I think one of my bigger mistakes for Monsters and Magikarp was assuming the players would look up canon information, and I think one of the biggest downsides of Tabletop United is that there are so many indices and tables. I don't want to include too many moves or options, but I do want the ones included to be varied and narratively interesting; I end up combining a lot of functionally similar moves because of this, like Explosion and Self-Destruct.
I'd really like for pokemon and character creation to be entirely self-contained within the rulebook creation, too, so allowing much freer selection of moves based on things like class and typing rather than canonical game level-up set feels important. this is, of course, much more similar to PTU's system than Pokeymanz's system; Pokeymanz moves have "levels" that can be used to make them more powerful, but also allows access to every possible move. Pokeymanz's move system requires the player to refer to official sources and synthesize game mechanics off of that, but I wouldn't want any of my players to feel pressured to make up mechanics for the sake of the game.
anyway thos r my 2 major struggles in trying to develop a game vers thats fun for me!

Hello! I was wondering if I can use your CC listed Pokemon in my Pokemon Tabletop United campaign that I do on my Twitch live streams? My Twitch is "FedorableWill" and I am a family friendly streamer. Your username would be listed in a scrolling credits box at the top right of my overlay, and a link would be present in a Google Doc that is accessible when a viewer does "!campaign" in chat, which I call out at the beginning.
Yeah, that'd be fine! I've never really been able to get into PTU myself but I think it'd be awesome to see my fakemon in a tabletop game. Go right ahead, and I hope you and your players have fun with them!

The group leave Candlenut for Tamwah by bus. Tamwah is a small town that has a museumand not much else. A couple of the trainers stop in for a tour, learning about an ancient event called the Expansion Explosion, which caused mass deaths, but also a revitalisation of the landscape in the inner parts of Oster. Since Tamwah doesn't have any significant lodging, they catch the next bus out of town to find a hotel in Kaeraumu, the second biggest town in the state.
Kaeraumu is the northern most waterside city this side of Oster, so the party use this as an excuse for unique pokemon hunting, Stucko catches a Skiddo, Skarmory and Lucario, and evolves his Chikorita. Cole catches a Skarmory and an Oster Tarountula. Morris catches a Karrablast. Kendra catches a Popplio and an Emolga. Darryl catches an Oster Psyduck.
Tumblr media
After making the most of our day, we find a place to stay, and at the bar we run into Jane, the daughter of Professor Wattle, getting very drunk (featured in the session art). They update her with their findings in Candlenut, and their findings with the different typed Pokémon (Typos). Kendra gets a room to themselves in order to try and promote some breeding between two of her Pokémon.
Early in the morning, Stucko wakes to find one of his Pokeballs shuddering, and releases his Poison type Grovyle. It is shaking and curled up sick on the floor. He gets Darryl, who has the Ice type Seedot, and they go call Professor Wattle. She assumes this must be a side effect of their types being changed, but would need a better look. They send over the Grovyle-P, the Seedot-I, and the Roggenrola-D, and hope that the professor knows what to do.

After sending the Typos through, they meet up with Jane Wattle for brunch and catch her up with all the recent drama. They decide their next course of action is to head north to the closest capital, Mandura City, where there is both a Tech Industries buidling (Tech Industries were related to the car crash in Candlenut), and a Galactic Corp. HQ (related to the initial Typo findings). They prepare for travel andd go to catch a train to Gawlong City.
