HEY! YOU THERE! WANT TO PLAY A TABLETOP ADVENTURE WITH A PROFESSIONAL STORYTELLER?

I'M MISTER TORGUE, AND THE NERD WHO HELPS ME LOG INTO THIS ACCOUNT ASKED ME TO DO AN AD FOR HIS SERVICES. I TOLD HIM I WOULD, BUT ONLY IF I GOT TO WRITE IT MYSELF. SO STRAP IN, DUMPSUCKS. IT'S PRODUCT PLACEMENT TIME:

--

DO YOU WANT TO PLAY DUNGEONS & DRAGONS BUT YOU CAN'T FIND SOMEONE TO RUN YOUR GAMES?

ARE YOU FED UP WITH A GAME MASTER WHO WON'T LET YOU STRAIGHT-UP MAKE OUT WITH THE VILLAINS OF THEIR STORY?

DO YOU WANT WANT TO LEARN TABLETOP RPGS BUT EVERYONE WHO TRIES TO EXPLAIN IT USES THINGS LIKE MATH AND SPREADSHEETS AND YOU CAN'T STOP THEM BECAUSE FATAL SUPLEXES ARE ILLEGAL ON YOUR PLANET?

THEN YOU NEED BENCOMPETENCE, PROFESSIONAL STORYTELLER AND GAME MASTER.

BRAOOWWWWW-CHICKABRAOW EXPLOSION NOISE HEREEEEEEEE!

BENCOMPETENCE HAS RUN OVER 100 PROFESSIONAL GAMES OF TABLETOP GAMES, INCLUDING DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, CITY OF MIST AND MORE. HE HAS 100% POSITIVE REVIEWS FROM HIS CLIENTS, WHICH IS PROBABLY MORE THAN 34%.

NOT ONLY DOES BEN OWN A PAIR OF CAT-EAR HEADPHONES, HE EXCELS AT RIPPING YOUR HEART STRAIGHT OUT OF ITS RIBCAGE USING NOTHING BUT COMPELLING, ROMANCEABLE CHARACTERS AND BADASS EPIC ADVENTURES. IN FACT, EVEN HIS VILLAINS ARE SEXY AS F*CK. JUST CHECK OUT THIS VAMPIRE FROM ONE OF HIS CAMPAIGNS:

THIS DEATH DADDY IS ABSOLUTELY ABOUT TO KILL ME AND I DON'T GIVEN EVEN A SINGLE F*CK.

NOT YOUR STYLE? NO PROBLEM, PLAYER, HE ALSO OFFERS TERRIFYING MURDER MOMMIES!

THIS WOMAN COULD DRINK MY BLOOD AND I WOULD SAY "THANK YOU"

OR MAYBE IT'S TIME TO EMBRACE EVERYONE'S TRUE SECRET DESIRE:

BE A MAGICAL GIRL THAT'S BAD AT ROMANCE!!!

BENCOMPETENCE ALSO HAS THIRSTY SWORD LESBIANS, A GAME ABOUT BADASS SWORDFIGHTS AND WARFARE IN THE GREATEST BATTLEFIELD OF ALL: THE HEART

WHEN OH WHEN WILL THESE TWO INCREDIBLE WOMEN ADMIT THEIR FEELINGS FOR ONE ANOTHER!??!!?

OR MAYBE YOU WANT TO KICK ASS, PACIFIST STYLE, IN THE NEW BLUE BOX ADVENTURES?!

TIME TO GO HIGH FIVE A DINOSAUR AND MAKE OUT WITH ALIENS!!!

BENCOMPETENCE'S GAMES ARE INCLUSIVE AF AND BEGINNER-FRIENDLY, BECAUSE GATEKEEPING IS FOR SH*THEELS AND TRASHGUZZLERS. WHETHER YOU'RE BRAND NEW OR HAVE PLAYED A QUILLION SESSIONS, YOU WILL BE RIGHT AT HOME. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU GET IN THERE AND KICK THE NARRATIVE'S ASS RIGHT IN ITS D*CK.

HE EVEN HOSTS SEMINARS THAT TEACH YOU TO BE A BETTER ROLEPLAYER OR GAME MASTER!!

HE ALSO ASKED ME TO TELL YOU THAT SESSION 0'S ARE FREE, AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS!

WANT TO JOIN A TABLE? THEN LISTEN UP, F*CKTRUCKS, BECAUSE IT'S LIST TIME:

FIGHT OR MAYBE MAKE OUT WITH HOT EVIL VAMPIRES IN CURSE OF STRAHD (NOW AVAILABLE IN DEATH DADDY AND MURDER MOMMY)

I AM NOW STARING AT THE VAMPIRE AGAIN AND FORGOT THE NEXT BULLET POINT

JOIN THIRSTY SWORD LESBIANS AND BE AS BAD AT ROMANCE AS YOU ARE GOOD AT KICKING ASS

JUMP INTO THE BLUE BOX AND EXPLORE ALL OF TIME AND SPACE

SOMETHING ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO BE A BETTER ROLEPLAYER IN A PERSONALIZED LECTURE

THERE'S A LOT MORE TO SAY, BUT THE NERD WRITING THIS SCRIPT STARTED TALKING ABOUT CHARACTER SHEETS AND SOMETHING CALLED NARRATIVE AGENCY, SO I HAD TO BEAT HIM WITH A FOLDING CHAIR UNTIL HE STOPPED. YOU CAN HELP PAY FOR THE BODYCAST I PUT HIM IN BY SIGNING UP TODAY!

END OF ADVERTISEMENT.

It's been MONTHS since I figured out Strahd's outdoor wear, and I've finally figured out Rahadin's as well! The creeps can now be nice and warm when traveling the horrific countryside~

I actually started this back when I finished Strahd's look, but I think I bit off more than I could chew by trying to figure out both Rahadin's face and his clothing that I got overwhelmed and ran away from finishing the concept. I've really been into drawing CoS NPCs lately (which means hopefully I'll have more of those to show you guys) which brought me back to finally finishing this. Phew!

And to think: eventually I'll have to figure out and draw his and Strahd's canon fit eventually too! Sigh, it never stops... (but I love doing it <3)

(ALSO I STUPIDLY POSTED THIS WITHOUT THE IMAGES OOPS

#lucky art #curse of strahd #Ravenloft #Rahadin #dungeons and dragons #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg #Can't believe we met this man almost a year ago #I can't wait to see him again now that we know what he got up to oh so long ago #And may or may not have single handedly murdered one of our party member's family way back when 🙂#Kaz and Rahadin in the same room would be horrifying but I want it so bad

What hairstyles would look good on Strahd? 👀

oh god im so biased. but like. literally all of them but!! here are some of my FAVORITES

longer hair strahd. like on the floor levels of length. straight hair, nice silky black with some red or white accents/undertones

wavy/fluffy hair strahd. oh god. have you seen that one art of strahd with fluffy hair? oh god. yes, that one. oh god. oh. oh my.

white/grey streak strahd is basically water is wet. like it's perfect, it's stable. its honestly more canon than whatever 1e strahd hair is

blonde long hair strahd. ok hear me out. this one is so hard to get right and its so rare. but for those who know about blonde hair strahd, i love you. but anyways. this one is so rarely done cuz its like. 'how would blonde hair strahd even work'? not only is it such a crackpot theory thing but it's like 3+ tinfoil level hats of insane to even explain how canonically it can/may work. either way, oh god. i need him. blonde hair strahd with silky long hair (similar to the black hair counterpart), help me. help. help. im insane over this to severely unhealthy levels but i do not care!! i am a blonde long hair strahd piller!!

bald strahd. ive been saying this for years that bald strahd would be so hot but im glad dragon age has portrayed the beauty of baldness. the child in me who crushed for number 1 in KND can finally feel the validation they righteously deserved for decades

when DMs have a Black strahd, my heart flutters so hard for long locs hair. any color, but ombre hairs with this style just absolutely destroy me. dark to bright/vivid ombre please please please.

red hair strahd. this one is such a power move. and DMs who do this. you are so vile, evil, cruel, and beautifully sexy. please keep doing what youre doing. you beautiful bastard

#ty for asking!!#happy simping #i love hair #i was gonna literally list every single type of hair style and i had to stop myself when i started typing up 'brown hair strahd' and im lik #SYRIPS STOP LISTING THEM ALL!! NJKDABSKD #ok secret bonus hair style but DRAG HAIR STRAHD #PLEASE PLEASE HE ALREADY HAS THE NAILS AND BAD BITCH ENERGY FORI T

cos campaign but all the party is just commoners with 4hp and they aren't there to defeat strahd or anything they're a documentary crew for castle ravenloft. What We Do In Barovia.

#cos #curse of strahd #what we do in the shadows #wwdits #kinda #single with escher talking about how close he is to getting rahadin to crack and like him #immediate next shot is rahadin talking about his episode-long plan to kill him #teddie be quiet!#this also for sure has been thought of before

barovia's most eligible bachelors, according to my cos group:

1. dragon who has been dead for centuries

2. man who has Every Disease

3. ismark kolyanovich

#multiple characters have expressed attraction to argynvost in-character #and a friend was doing art for our campaign's version of kasimir and showed a bunch of her friends #who were inexplicably SUPER INTO HIM despite the fact that in our game he is horribly plague-ridden #and then ismark is literally the only normal single man in this entire country #fun fact he was originally at the top of the list but keeps getting bumped down. sorry ismark #i distinctly remember our dm describing him with something along the lines of #''he would be handsome if he didn't look like he was having the worst day of his life''#sammy speaks #dnd #curse of strahd #strahdposting

God that Ireena pic sent me fucking reeling back into a war flashback of the days I ran Curse of Strahd. My players put the poor girl through so much shit that by the end of the adventure she had paladin levels and had killed 5 direwolves alone

Ismark has left her alone for 1 day and she's already an accomplice to several felonies

#cos spoilers #curse of strahd spoilers #ismark leaves for 1 day and now shes involved in a plot to assassinate the burgomaster of vallaki. amazing. you know how it be #SHE HAS LITERALLY WENT “MORNINGLORD FORGIVE ME WHAT IM DOING” GIRL....keep hanging out with blythe and u are NOT seeing heaven #also not a single soul asked her to back blythe up on selling her bs to vasilli - YOU signed up for that babygirl #hsi singular braincell aside #she also boldly declared that she will protect blythe from rahadin. girl you have a anxiety attack from anything blythe does. relax.#shes a big girl she can handle him #blythe #cos

sat down to do something productive but all I have for you today is this doodle of 3 of my player's characters (Tom, Damascus, Lupin) on Ismark's doorstep with a recently orphaned baby

#curse of strahd #dnd 5e #long story short #Damascus and an unpictured character (viktur) saw morgantha receive a baby as payment for a dream pastry #shenanigans ensued and damascus did in fact make a very good slight pf hand roll to steal the baby back from morgantha #damascus didnt want to give the baby back to the mother bc she sold it for a meat pie (reasonable)#lupin and tom would NOT let him keep it #so all of 5 minutes after leaving with ireena they returned to ismark's doorstep with an infant #and thats how ismark became a single father

just ordered curse of strahd will i ever actually get to gm it probably not but let's goooooo

#my dm's sick of being a dm and asked me to dm instead of her #which is probably the reason we haven't played since august #she wanted me to continue her homebrewed campaign but i really don't feel like it and also don't wanna start gm ing by making shit up from #scratch #so curse of strahd it is #it's NOT bc it's apparently a horror ish campaign with vampires i wanted to dm this before i knew anything about curse of strahd bc the #gender ambiguous anarchists from the pension protests recommended it #can you believe i didn't find a single copy of curse of strahd in local shops? i even looked on their online shops to order it but nope i #had to go to vinted to find a single copy of it #to be fair i didnt look that many places just the one game shop i know. the one independent library i know and a few chains #but still

Next top loader decoration: Ismark! We haven't had him in the party long and we're still separated from him at the moment, so I don't have the knowledge to give him anything beyond 'tormented man in a spooky village/land' but I'm sure I'll make more in the future of him ;3

#lucky art #curse of strahd #ismark kolyanovich #ismark the lesser #ravenloft #dungeons and dragons #dnd #dnd5e #top loader #I was going to make a puppy based one for him #But these were for my friends/party and didn't want someone to get the single silly one out of the other two serious ones #I'll just make that one for me :3c Sad wet dog man...

literally what the fuck was wotc thinking letting twilight and peace domain cleric’s get released like that

#theres busted sublassed. AND THEN THERES BUSTED SUBCLASSES #cause other overpowered subclasses like totem barb moon druid and bladesinger Are very strong but most just benefit that single player #meanwhile the cleric ones make the entire party Extremely powerful at like. level 2 #tonight we played a curse of strahd fight that was described as difficult to deadly. and our dm expected us to get overwhelmed and have to #bail. but twilight cleric allows you to give temp hp to anyone in a certain aura at the end of their turn #and bc temp hp doesnt stack but the higher amout replaces the current #even if my party members had temp hp i could just reroll and if the amount was higher then they suddenly had more #so basically we were able to tank everything to the point that my dm started to make enemies run away from the fight cause it was not gonna #end 😭. there were a lot of factors that made us very strong (moonbeam vs werewolves. barb rage. grapples) but twilight domain mvp #our dm was like. well gotta adjust every fight now to be more difficult in notoriously difficult module curse of strahd

#dnd #curse of strahd #cos #cleric #druid #would prefer a full caster but i did consider alchemist artificer #so if someone makes a rlly good argument for a half caster i might consider it #not a paladin tho been there done that #and again i wanna do caster so ideally not like a life cleric or one of the ''martial lite'' clerics you feel me #i'm a cleric main and never played a druid for more than a single session!#also i'm not looking for like the best/optimal healer i just kinda wanna fuck around and try shit #grave cleric has been on my ''to play'' list since FOREVER #my previous paladin was multiclassed as arcane trickster so i could have a familiar to deliver touch spells (cure wounds)#and wildfire druid kind of has familiar vibes with also stronger heals while your ''familiar'' is out #and then hehe stars pretty and radiant damage go brr #but also it's curse of strahd so there's the spoiler item of spoilerkind to think about #which iirc only a cleric or paladin can use #and without my paladin we have none of those things #altho i think godfrey (our ally) is a paladin so maybe he can hold it?#WHO KNOWS not me i am just Vibin.#pls feel free to reblog or tag dnd blogs who wouldn't mind being tagged!#rey rambles #poll #also for reference current living party is a sorc and ranger and the other guy who died is making a barbarian

Lisa Strahd be like "Ew. I don't like feeding from people. It just feels so damn unethical. Anyway, if we get Clan Tzimisce on side, here's my highly unethical five step plan to transform a few hundred or so humans into brain-dead, self-replicating living cysts whose sole purpose in life is to produce blood in a factory farm setting."
