Why couldn't we get a masculine body with a smaller frame for the Dragonborns in BG3? Like yeah, I wanna breathe fire, but I also want to be one of the most intimidating looking twinks in Faerûn.

Here are a few dragons I drew a couple of years back! The writing beneath is from a Draconic lettering that I found, each the name of the dragon.

Daily Doodle #253

GTI Partner doodle :D

I really don't draw my GTI Partner as much as I should, so here's a doodle that I got very carried away with ^^;;

Thank you everyone! Now behold! Dargon! >:D Can't wait to paint it on the next one. #ttrpgs #dungeonsanddragons #painting #miniatures #minipainting #minis #art #dragons

Catch y'all on the next one ❤️

Dusted off the ol' Tumblroni, and by that I mean delete the old one and make a new one because The Bird App may spontaneously combust & because there's so many folks who followed and were followed that aren't 'round these parts no more. Welcome back, me! I'll slowly start uploading my archive of stuff, so you best be ready!

Finally got around to watching Dungeons and Dargons: Honor Among Thieves

I haven't laughed that hard at anything in a good long while. like, they really understood the assignment.

This movie was so much fun, and it also had a huge heart.

Also I love that there is absolutely zero romance between Edgin and Holga. They are best fucking friends raising a kid together.

And the ending made me cry a little.

Castle Dargon

Pixel art for today based on videogame Gauntlet II for game console Sega MegaDrive. So, it is a point, that it was also a 16 bit version of this game. This is rather famous game. It is something like action rpg. I never played it for myself. I think that such games also should to be at the 8 bit computers. Like MSX 2.

I am sure that these little games are interesting adventures in dungeons. Ghosts. Team with a searchers for adventures. And this was very addictive in those times and this times it is interesting too.

And this is my drawing about the same theme. Explore of the dungeons – it is a whole set of computers games. A genre of games. Especially, in late 80s – first part of 90s. Top-down view. Something like isometric. And adventures – with style of fantasy. With dragons and skeletons. Search for treasures. Of course, it is a search for new armor, new spell, and new weapon. And walking the labyrinths. Level by level. Labyrinth after labyrinth. And it is all the gametime. And your characters are developing their skills.  Such process with progress and explore is very addictive.

You are exploring dungeon of Dargon. So here it is ruins of ancient castle. And a network of underground labyrinth. A many years ago this castle stands here, and more then a ten years, it defense land from a attack of sorcerers from south. And this castle defense land from  attack of dragons in different times. But it is ruined now. And land is wasteland now. But after some decades, some adventurers are start to visit this place.

By this moment, ruins of castle are already restored in some parts. But now it is place for ghosts and skeletons. And no one looks what is in the depth of network underground labyrinths. Nobody knows what is there. In one of old tower griffons are living now. And somewhere in a far there is a cave with a dragon. sorcerers from South have a trade route through this place and they have here a camp for restore powers during travels. Lizardoids also came to this place. And they lured with new spells. They are sometimes walking the lands, and search the spells. So now it is a new place. And it can be explored.

I’m getting back into the dungeon & dargon,,,,,,,, silly game,,,, if y’all have any asks about it or ttrpgs in general that’d be neat

@m1metic sent in: 🛡️ + f1sh..? i duno anything about dnd BUT ITS COOL TO READ ABOUT

dungeons & dargons // accepting

I think f1sh is a straight Whispers Bard. The theming of a Bard of the College of Whispers is that they’re described as thriving on secrets, and I’m reminded of the theory that Dedf1sh just. Lives in the vents of Kamabo Co. Plus, there’s a lot of really cool abilities later in this specialization, like the ability to steal someone’s appearance and use it as a disguise. Feels like something f1sh would enjoy the hell out of. 

#dragon is trending so here is a collection of my art that contains dragons to jump on the algorithm train!

Explore the Dungeon, Become a Hero by Kai Delmas

Explore the dungeon, they said. Slay the monster, they said. Become a hero, they said.

Published in our August 20, 2022 newsletter. Full story is under the cut.

Explore the dungeon, they said. Slay the monster, they said. Become a hero, they said.

And that’s exactly what I was going to do. I spent half my life training at the Academy for Potential Heroes of Dargon. I was fifth best in my class. All I needed was to slay my first monster to become a hero.

I thought I was ready for anything, but nothing could have prepared me for you.

The moment I saw those dazzling petals blooming from your head I knew that I had found something I hadn’t even known I was searching for. My soulmate.

I wondered what our future would bring. We wouldn’t have to move if you didn’t want to. This was your dungeon after all. I could learn to live with the slimy walls and sludge covered floors.

Maybe some scented candles would help against the smell and brighten up the place. Sunlight would be better, of course, but I wouldn’t want to harm your delicate, pale skin if you preferred the dark.

There were so many things I didn’t know about you. For example, why your beautiful flowers were wilting and why your tentacles were wrapped around me so tight.

I didn’t even know you had tentacles.

Next, I noticed the stink of your breath as you opened your maw and showed me rows upon rows of razor-sharp teeth.

That’s when your charm upon me ended and I discovered being fifth best was not good enough to become a hero.

Crying, Taz:Balance and Critical Role

Content warning: Discussion of Death, both in fiction and in real life. 

Spoilers for both Critical role season 2 and The Balance arc of The Adventure Zone

Those who know me, know that I cry a lot. Like a lot a lot.  Sad, angry or happy, crying is usually my go to reaction.

And of course both the stories of Taz: balance and the story of Mighty Nein are both full of emotional moments, and I have cried a lot while listening to both stories.  So have my rambly, mini essay about how these stories make me cry.  These are just personal feelings, and the way you might feel while listening to these stories might differ from mine. And that is super valid. 

Note: I have not listened to the story of Vox Machina yet, so I have no idea how I would cry while listening to that story.  

While listening to The Adventure Zone, I usually cry warm tears. Those kinds that you can also feel in your gut. They hurt for a moment but also offer immense comfort in the end. The kind of tears you shed when you meet a long gone friend after a while and just know that they are here now.  Tears you shed when you... when you know that things are bad now, but things will get better.  The warm tears  fill the cold feeling of hopelessness. It's not the best way it can be filled, but it is not the worst way either. Someone promises that there is at least a small chance that things might get better. There is not a lot that needs to be done to get me crying over taz. Just a small musical cue can be enough. And usually it is. Heck i'm listening to the Story and Song ost right now and crying. Crying while listening to taz feels like you are part of the story, seeing it all happen as a bystander. And you just can't help but to let that warm tear roll down your cheek.

You cry when you feel happy, you cry when you are sad. You listen to a scene while holding your breath and crying tears of sorrow, when suddenly Justin says something funny. And suddenly you are in a way crying of both joy and sadness at the same time. And I mean, there are worse feelings in the world. Crying over a small moment because of a funny joke you hear at the funeral is sometimes okay.

There are so many tears to be cried over Taz Balance. And crying over taz has also helped me through a lot hardships through my life. I have had the chance to cry through taz, when I have not wanted to cry over sad things in my own life.   Last year, my grandmother died. And every time before we would visit her in the hospital, I would listen to the song “Chalice”. So that when seeing my grandmother lying in the bed, barely recognizing me anymore, I could bullshit myself by saying that I cried because the sad song I had listened to. And what scenes that song brought to my mind.  But you know that song in the end gets more powerful? That ending always gave me power to get through those hospital visits. It is the promise of hope. the someone saying “You are strong. You can survive it.”

After she died there has been two occasions I have listened to that song. Before the opening night of a play I was playing a role in. A play I would have wanted her to see. And now, while writing this essay. 

Critical Role is a story you hear. A story filled with many amazing scenes of comfort, love and friendship. But also heartbreak and death.  There is a lot of death. While listening to taz I shed most of my tears to the npcs and to their fates. In critical role, you get so invested in the main characters, sometimes npcs might not seem that important. But then something happens and you are just overcome with emotion, for a small halfling boy who sees that her mother is not dead. Emotion in Critical role is ... realistic. A story you listen to someone tell to you.  You pay attention to every word. And you are a bit afraid to cry when listening to it. But then the storyteller says something and you find that you can't focus your eyes on them anymore. They are misty and you feel a shiver running down your spine, as you can't no longer hold that emotion in. Like the moment you hear that a loved has passed, but you are at work and just possibly can’t cry right now. So you decide to “handle these emotions later”. You might have a chance to cry for a moment, but after that you have to endure rest of the day. It's a strong feeling but it doesn't set in immediately. Sometimes you realize to mourn even days or months later.

It's like this cold feeling of the emotion hitting. Kind of like your tears are an icicle. And it takes time for the icicle to melt and for the tears to come.It's a heavy feeling, until you can let it out. But kind of like Yasha, sometimes people want to keep that feeling there, cause at least that is a reminder of the one who passed and without that weight in your gut, you are afraid that you will forget them   You wipe your eyes and let the emotion come. Tears are cold, full of uncertainty. The tears you shed when you hear  a sad story, when you are part of a sad story.  And you don't know the ending yet. You are not sure if the tears shed right now are for comfort, to fill some space or just,, an reaction to everything that is going on. Unlike Taz tears, they don't overwhelm you at the moment, you can shrug them off for a moment. But you end up thinking back to that moment again sometime in the future. And maybe just then realizing the weight of the situation.

While you know that Taz has an happy ending, there is no way of knowing ho the story of the Mighty Nein is going to end. And that's why at least for me, I still find it hard to cry the warm tears while listening to the Critical role. But not one kind of cry is better than the other. Both are important and part of life. You need to cry. And there is no wrong way to cry while listening to these stories.

Thank you for reading.  Everyone sees these stories differently and reacts differently. While I might not cry over a scene you do, does not make your feelings any less valid.
