#Rebel Crown

[veunho]

Fellas, is it wrong to impersonate your dead husband to reclaim his throne and then make out with his former bestie —who is also a woman— in front of his secret grave in the forest?

[clarumsomnium]

I do play a lot of games, ok?

Since I’m back here, with more space for WORDS, I figured I’d write a separate ttrpg intro.

Currently playing

A very busy God of Fulfillment in Defiant. Poor lad is struggling to find enough time for his spouse, submissive, charge and others.

A lizardfolk rogue in a heavily house-ruled Spelljammer campaign (sidenote: house-ruled only because the Spelljammer setting from WotC failed to provide a ruleset that works)

A suave thief in Delta Green: Impossible Landscapes. His sanity has dropped so much he’s probably going to die soon.

A socially awkward but very meticulous replicant in Blade Runner.

Currently running

Odyssey of the Dragonlords from Arcanum Worlds - excellent campaign set in a fantasy world inspired by Ancient Greece, way better than anything I’ve read from WotC.

Completed this year

A two-year KURO Makkura and Tensei campaign where I played an ex-monk exorcist. He was the only player character to survive. Ended up becoming the Emperor’s onmyōji.

A four-year D&D 5e homebrew campaign where I played a Tiefling Bard. We saved our world from an Ilithid invasion, fought them on the moon and killed god. My boy survived till the end and married his genasi girlfriend. They’re now hopping across different worlds and collecting fun mementos.

A one-year Liminal campaign where the PCs stopped a cabal of Necromancers trying to attain immortality by harnessing life force from supernatural creatures. 

A three-year Changeling: the Lost campaign where the PCs went against a Fae who plotted to become a God of Death. They stopped the Fae’s rebirth cycle and trapped them in their pyramid in Arcadia.

Future plans

Hoping to play or run (or both) a Forged in the Dark game. Currently eyeing Rebel Crown.

Awaiting the arrival of my CY_BORG copy. Let’s hope it gets delivered this week.

Planning to run a choice of scenarios set in the Blue Rose setting on D&D 5e. I really adore Blue Rose but the AGE system does not agree with me or my group. 5e is hardly perfect but at least everyone at the table is familiar with it.

Revisiting Thirsty Sword Lesbians for a series of loosely connected one-shots.

Finding my perfect neo-noir ttrpg.

I'm rereading MILAOWM because of course I am, and I just.

Ep 27:

Ep 79:

we've come so incredibly far and I cannot deal with the amount of progress they’ve made; oh my heart

Seungu how DARE you call back so many chapters like this, to a completely different time when he couldn't trust her enough to even touch his hair

And now he's beaming at her because he knows exactly what she's doing

please be happy you two dorks

narinder as a kit, before his ascension to godhood.

he's a half-cat, half-jackal hybrid. his mother, a black cat, had to go on the run after she and his father were caught as conspirators against the crown. she had to abandon him in a remote village in shamura's territory for his safety, and because she couldn't care for him while fleeing from hunters.

narinder spent his summer months there being a nuisance to the villagers, forced to survive by stealing food and other necessities from homes. once the winter rolled around, he found himself homeless with no shelter from the snowstorms.

by the time shamura found him, curled up in snow underneath the shelter of an offering statue, he was almost frozen to death. it was a miracle he survived with no frostbite.

they took him in and raised him as part of their cult. narinder grew up to be their war advisor and confidante, and--when he eventually took on the red crown and gained his third eye--a fellow god of the old faith.

District 12 AU, one of Coriolanus' and Lucy Gray's daughters dates a Peacekeeper.

One of them would and I know exactly who XD

That sounds like a job for Clementine, who doesn’t like to follow the rules her father set her life after especially as a young adult. She wants to have free choices and make her own decisions that define the safety her parents laid out for her. Probably meet the young fella at the Hob during her families Show.

She’s almost a spitting image of her mother with her charms and looks. That fresh new peacekeeper never stood a chance and Coriolanus is going to make his life a living nightmare.

_______

Coriolanus: he’s touching her, I know it and he’ll pay for it-

Lucy Gray: don’t be so dramatic a little bit of hand holding or a kiss on the cheek never killed anyone, it’s not a felony-

Coriolanus: *side eye*

Lucy Gray: what…oh…OH!

Coriolanus: yeah, exactly-

Lucy Gray: hmmm *cough* hypocrite *cough*

"The division between the two families [the Woodvilles and the Nevilles] and their allies can be seen in the royal charters that they witnessed. Warwick, Rivers and Archbishop Neville of York, while serving as chancellor and afterwards, were fairly constant witnesses to royal charters and consequently often appeared together. This was not, however, the case for other family members and friends. From 1466 to 1469, if Scales or Woodville associates like Sir John Fogge, John Lord Audley or Humphrey Lord Stafford of Southwick witnessed royal charters, then members of the Neville group, such as John Neville, earl of Northumberland, or John Lord Wenlock would not, and vice versa. Discounting the ubiquitous Warwick, Rivers and Archbishop Neville, of the twenty-four charters issued between February 1466 and June 1469, twelve were witnessed by men associated with the Woodvilles, eight by men associated with the Nevilles and two were witnessed by no member of either group beyond the two earls at their heads and the archbishop; only two charters, both from 1466, featured associates of both families.

Such striking segregation of witnesses suggests that something more than simple convenience or availability was at play. [...] The evidence of these witness lists does show the extent of the split between the two groups from early in Edward's [first] reign and of the need for political society to work with that cleavage in the heart of the Yorkist regime."

-Theron Westervelt, "Royal charter witness lists and the politics of the reign of Edward IV"

*This is specifically applicable for Edward IV's first reign; in contrast, the charters in his second reign displayed a great deal of aristocratic and domestic unity and cohesion.

No. No, I don't think I'll let you play.

"1) hot 2) he can do anything he wants to me with those ears 3) hot 4) he deserves better. please."

"This woman broke a familial curse and the first thing she did was teleport, grab a mans ass like it was the last thing she would ever do, and say she was going to fuck him HARD. Esther is an alt academic who wields powerful reality bending magic using a baseball bat. You already know she's a winner."

[veunho]

Not me sending the girls to infiltrate a party when neither of them have any consort points 💀

[venusintheblindspots-blog]

Thinking about Theon’s mother. Imagine you marry some batshit crazy dude with even crazier brothers. That same dude starts a stupid rebellion that gets two of your sons killed and the other one taken as a hostage,leaving you with only your baby girl and very poor mental health.
