Wizard 101: Hey kid, you just got pulled into Wizard School, and it looks like you're ready to start. Go down that path and someone will teach you to fight. Oh shit, that's Malistare, uhhhh, *one minor battle later* Good job kid. Go and do some little quests and beat up some fairies, you're doing great! :)
Pirate 101: You're in jail. Pirates are breaking you out of jail! They're... asking about your trauma. You're a pirate, an orphan, the son of a whore and a scotsman, you were raised by another group of people, now you're pulling a jail break and helping other prisoners escape! A uhhh, a guy threatens to murder you. He's the one who locked you up. The pirate guy almost dies and you have to drive his ship??? *one stressful sail later* Hey kid, go beat up this guy who stole from me. I'm gonna cheat and scam you, btw, just so you know. :)
#light's spot#W101#P101#pirate101#wizard101#I'm biased because I'm a Wizard thru and thru#but I played Pirate yesterday and am losing my mind over the shift of tone#in w101 it's like sure I'm the hero of the spiral but it's a story of training and growth and friendship#in p101 it's like I'm a wanted criminal yet I don't have a ship or a name for myself nor a crew and this Armada guy really wants to murder#me specifically???#anyways#Silent Ryan Ironside is my mute pirate and Subodai will forever be my first mate because we're bound by mutual imprisonment and escape#<- She's a Swashbuckler and was raised in Grizzleheim btw. her parents were killed in a mutiny#pretty sure she became a mute after her parents were killed and the Grizzleheim bears gave her the name “Silent” and she took the lastname#of “Ironside” while she was in their care because she'd shoulder her way into battle#fun shift of pace from Natalie BlueFlower who was just like#huh I'm an ice wizard now- HOLY SHIT I'M GETTING MAGICKED AT-#and then never stopped being magicked at lmao

i kind of want to try writing a dnd inspired au
mostly because Great Old One Warlock Childe won't leave my brain
also Oath of Vengeance Paladins Diluc and Wriothesley (and probably Cyno, too)
Ranger Amber with an actual bunny as her animal companion
Artificer Yoimiya, Warlock Xiangling with Guoba acting as her patron, Artificer Kaveh, Cobalt Soul Monk Alhaitham (i know Wizard would be obvious but I love the punchy librarian subclass for him), Duelist Fighter Clorinde, Tempest Cleric Sigewinne (her deity is just Neuvillette), Wild Magic Sorcerer Klee, Oathbreaker Paladin Dainsleif
#genshin#i like making lists and smashing things i like together okay#i've been trying to figure out if i can come up with any druids#i think baizhu might work?#also there's just a lot of paladins in this gamr#i think because ambition is such an important theme and paladins are all about being devoted to their path#also childe multiclasses like hell. swashbuckler rogue champion fighter he'll make it all work#<- boy who has the haunted one background and wishes he'd gotten to pick folk hero instead

A small detail I enjoyed in The Sea Beast, which I'm rewatching this evening: when the hunters shoot at a beast with arrows, the order given is not "fire" but "loose." You hear "fire" a lot in movies with historical or old-fashioned fantasy settings when archery is used in battle, but it's anachronistic/inauthentic - "fire" should be used only with firearms. Pre-firearms the order would be "loose" (these days mostly used as an adjective for the opposite of tight but can also be a verb meaning release) or "shoot."
#the sea beast#archery#lingo#I would also like to thank them for making the swashbuckling young hero muscular WITH SUBCUTANEOUS FAT#he's beefy#he actually looks strong!#I know I may come off as a little obsessive about it but the shrink-wrapped muscle look bothers me#tisn't natural#I'd just rather see a fella who looks like he enjoys his food you know

tragic news: local woman already deeply in love with d&d character she hasn’t even gotten to play yet in a campaign that is very likely to fizzle out due to scheduling conflicts
#I doomed myself I made her too fucking cool#I feel like I already know her soul but I still wanna study her under a microscope#her name is Magdela Fenport former star of the stage current semi-recovering alcoholic busking for copper coins#soon to be begrudging hero of the realm#she’s going to be a swashbuckler rogue using her stage-fighting training she picked up from her breakout role#in a series of plays she did about the adventures of a dashing queer pirate heroine that they’d take town to town#in an amphitheater boat#her favorite hobby is self destruction#and she was left by her ex wife#she’s a fucking bitch and I like her so much#if I get my way she’s gonna get hit with the power of connection & service to others & a faith that better days will come one day SO HARD#i’m fucking obsessed#I based her on the absolute trainwreck stars of the Hollywood golden age she’s a CHARACTER#d&d#dnd#spilling the Tea

I’m sorry I’m only able to picture Jake Kiszka as a romantic hero (not in a Heathcliff way, but in a Mr. Darcy or Aragorn way)
#greta van fleet#gvf#jake kiszka#jake gvf#it’s because he’s so swashbuckling#they all have hero types but Jake is my favorite

The way the only time Ronald Colman and Basil Rathbone played opposite each other was like the one swashbuckler in which Basil doesn't fight, as if seeing the two of them in a homoerotic swordfight wouldn't have fixed me as a person
#in my ideal swashbuckler ronnie is the very sad hero and basil rathbone is like his frenemy or something#i also need to know how basil would rank his swordfighting on a scale of errol i could have killed him any time i wanted to flynn to#tyrone the most agile man with a sword ive ever faced before a camera power#also basil wasnt exactly at his most handsome in if i were king. i get why but yeah ssgdgdhd#ronald colman#basil rathbone#if i were king#fuck off me

Another picture of Reed.
Apparently people who have playtested my game in the past say he's their favorite. Which is great!
I should probably make a poll of some kind that's linked to that game.

My Hero Forge Color 3D Prints — Half-Elf Swashbuckler with Bonus Hood Raven Edition
I got another Color 3D Print of one of my Hero Forge creations. I'm very happy with how this one turned out. The color gradient on the blade is especially nice.
Inspired by Ember, a half-elf character I played back in D&D 3.5E in the early naughties. I don't remember the full details of her character build, but her main weapon was an Elven Thinblade from when it was first introduced in Dragon Magazine #275 in September of 2000.
Here's a closeup of her face, along with her raven, Xander, chilling in her hood. Even though it took some shenanigans to get Hero Forge to do this, it translated pretty well to print, even if my phone camera struggled to get a decent shot of that small of a detail. May need to touch up the eyes with yellow paint to make them stand out. No touch up is needed for that unruly mop of anime hair, which is partly due to me having no shame and partly due to the source material that was the original visual inspiration for the character.
Both of these pieces by Todd Lockwood were, I believe, candidates for D&D 3E's Sorcerer Iconic Character, losing out to I-have-so-many-belts-even-Final-Fantasy-told-me-it-was-excessive Hennet.
Both designs have "hip windows" where pockets should be, a feature I was able to implement in Hero Forge through a combination of Double Mini Stacking and leg decals.
The Double Mini Stacking also let me be more elaborate with the clothing layering and allowed for twice as many side items hanging from her belt.
The second Lockwood piece also ended up becoming concept art for WotC's D&D Mini #40090 Half Elf Sorceress. I had previously used this mini as a conversion base for the character. Lost that mini in a move, so it's nice to have an update version that's even better than that early attempt.

been thinking like..... if there's a pirate tribe in-game, why there isn't a pirate hero yet?? YEAH IM GONNA FIX IT
meet whatever his name gonna be, but yea. pirate hero. except he's a 19 year old trash of a man who doesn't know wtf he's doing and just swinging on a rope and plundering shit
#he's hero version of swashbuckler zombie#haven't got a hero name for him but his real name is james and he gets called swinging jamie#because of the fact he swings on a rope like a lot#he just started in pirating business and now he's a hero outta nowhere. wow.#glitz speaks

If Roxton, Marguerite, Veronica and Ned all ever get drunk and end up in bed together it's after the chaos of The Outlaw.
#mystuff#sir arthur Conan doyle's the lost world#the lost world#the episodes where it's all four of them being swashbuckling romantic heroes are so satisfying#the outlaw is such a great episode
