Springmaker 2023

Time for KM! I haven't finished the last year's challenge (or even half done), but I have so many quick km illustrations that I love. Finally got a reason to draw my baroness - a half-elf druid Essa. When I made an oc for the game I honestly didn't know that (female) protagonist will be called baroness. Well... Pros: when someone on capital's square shouts 'Baroness-a!!' I can hear her name. That's a cool emersion, xD.

Funny story. When we made this challenge, we thought about our main platform, and it's vk. That is, a russian-speaking platform. And before choosing name, no one thought to check if tag used by someone else on other social media... OF COURSE there is people who make springs and find it important to share! With all respect to spring makers's craft. Lol. Here's a prompt list. (I was taking part in designing it of which I really proud) Sorry this happened to the tag, if someone wants to parcicipate now it's best to use anouther one, #pfspringmaker for instance/// P.S. As an insider I can share that this spring our guys from Ask will be making another challenge, all pathfinder related this time and, well, I'll of course post details later.

Thanks for the tag @hyenamiloska! I'M GOING TO DO IT!✨ Regongar/Mirabel(Baroness)/Octavia (Pathfinder: Kingmaker): ...Both? Both is good.

This came out by accident in the game. I still don't understand “HOW?!”... But I liked it 🤔 Mirabel is my aasimar priestess Iomedae (?) from Mendev (???). Quite a grouchy person, but she's Neutral-Good. Melissa/Woljif (Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous):

And of course I won't forget my favorite horny (I mean horns ОК???) children 💖 They don't know each other, but I have to somehow get Mirabel and Melissa to meet for fun. Melissa will be back in the River Kingdoms for a while anyway. The rest of the games like Dragon Age (1,2,3 parts), Mass Effect (1,2,3), Baldur's Gate 3 and the like, I need to replay on a fresh head and think hard. I tagged EVERYONE. Because I don't know who had time to do it and who didn't!

I'm actually thinking about trying Pathfinder Kingmaker at some point in the future and attempting to romance Tristian. Given that he's practically the definition of a pretty boy, I bet he copped the dudebros usual brand of dickery when the game came out initially.

hmmm... I dunno, I don't think that's true. I have not seen hate towards him on reddit. He is straight, so maybe that's why. He can't bother the gamerbros while they are playing with a self-insert male character. I've even seen a few of them say they've created a female character to romance Tristian because they thought his story was interesting. Tristian is a very good aligned character and I would say the "bad boy" types are more often hated. He is also extremely innocent and awkward during the romance so that probably only makes male gamers like him. Lol

Anyway imo he just doesn't match the type of character you are talking about.

If you are interested in a romance which actually bothered the straight male gamer community, I recommend Octavia-Regongar poly romance. Those two are a joined deal. They are a bisexual couple and while it's possible to break them up, that doesn't have the best result. Ofc that bothered some because they wanted to romance Octavia alone and they wanted to suffer no consequences for separating the couple. Octavia is more popular compared to the straight female option, Valerie, who is a lawful neutral fighter. Meanwhile Octavia is a fun loving chaotic good rogue-wizard. Valerie not having a huge appeal is also the reason many chose to play with a female character and romanced Tristian. That way it's still a straight romance but with a character they liked more.

Personally I like both the Reg-Octavia romance and the Tristian romance as well. It's also possible to start romancing Reg-O and Tris as well and they will only ask you to choose later.

I finally got polls and PFKM is sapphic bait for me so I need to know who everyone considers to be the most attractive PFKM lady.

(nobody mention my shitty editing pls)

to be fair she can't remember anyone's name.

*Octavia and Regongar skipping stones on a lake*

Octavia: It's such a beautiful evening.

Regongar, whispering: Take that you fucking lake.

Ah, yeah. Me, my moral dilemma related to the desire for revenge and the teachings of Sarenrae, which says that everyone should have a chance to redeem themselves, and the three worshippers of Calistria in my environment

I figured this out somewhere along the second-to-last act. Octavia, the Baroness / Pathfinder Kingmaker (c) Owlcat Games

1B on that pose meme (or whatever it's called) has real comedy potential. Not like that person is actually hurt or dying but something melodramatic, you know? I'm picturing Regongar holding Octavia and he's shouting MY GIRL NEEDS A MANICURE STAT! in response to her "I broke a nail!" bark

I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR VISION

edit. realizing that I read the dialogue provided wrong. forgive me. I got too excited about it.

this dialogue prompt by @lyralit really suited octavia and jubi! their banter in game is def my fav they’re so mean to eachother-

Happy Crystalhue, gamers! It's a little late, as usual, but I hope everyone spent the solstice well. I failed in my goal to keep this really small and simple so I could squeeze Candlemark in on the side, whoops

finally finished pathfinder kingmaker! feeling that crushing “just finished a massive game” ennui. i miss my silly little party and my silly little vivisectionist already.

"Dianthe, I wanted to say something... just don't be surprised. This might sound strange, especially coming from me, but... but..." Octavia looks away, bites her lip and finally blurts out, "LET'S GET MARRIED!"
