For a long time, I’ve wanted to try running a horny monsterfucker TTRPG campaign (in a “Trials in Tainted Space” or “Corruption of Champions” type of vein, but heavier on the story elements). I’ve just run into… a few problems. First among them is that my current TTRPG friends would not be down for a horny monsterfucker game (understandable and perfectly fine) but I don’t know where I would find horny monsterfuckers who want to play TTRPGs with me.
The second, and perhaps trickier, problem is that I haven’t vibed with any of the horny TTRPG systems I’ve looked into. I feel like a lot of the “classic” / more notorious ones fall into a “roll for orifice size” type of vibe that I’m not personally into. Or are just generally geared more towards horny gamers in general as opposed to monsterfuckers. With that said, I recognize there are probably dozens of monsterfucking TTRPGs that I haven’t yet found.
The obvious solution to this second problem (aside from continuing to scour for viable options) is to make a TTRPG. The good news is that I have lots of game design experience… but if I’m making something, then I have to really iron out exactly what I want out of this, and what the table/players would as well. Which is necessarily difficult to pin down, especially because it’s a hypothetical table that doesn’t exist yet. (And it’s a lot harder to get folks interested in a new system, even if they’d love the content— it’s a lot of effort to learn a new TTRPG! Even if said system is relatively “soft” or rules light). And of course there’s a risk (whether it’s published / posted somewhere or just kept in group) of being identified because of similarities to my other published TTRPG content.
Honestly, I might be better off just finding folks to do horny monster roleplay with and leaving the dice out of it.
But feel free to comment if you know of any relevant TTRPGs! There’s a good chance I’ve seen them but it’s always possible I haven’t. I’m also always happy to reskin things. It wouldn’t be Great mechanically but worst comes to worst I can always just try using D&D or Pathfinder since that’s what I’m most likely to be able to get a group together for.

hi d20/critical role/ttrpg friends 💜 i could really use your help.
i try to keep my work separate from my online/fandom life for the most part, but you know what they say about desperate times, lol. i’m a dice maker, and i’ve been running a small business for the past four years selling my handmade dice and other tabletop game accessories. i make stuff like this:


now, about my situation — my long term relationship ended last week and i’m currently preparing to move out of our shared apartment. i’ve had to step back from running the business full time this year to sort out some health issues, so my financial situation is not the best right now. i’ve just put up some new things in my shop to try and make a little bit of money to help finance the move. if you’re a fan of d&d or ttrpgs in general, i would love it if you could check out my work!! here are some of the things available in my shop right now:
this dice set inspired by kristen applebees’ junior year character art

other cool dice sets, like these


this adorable diorama d20 with a little frog inside 🐸

“Crit Catchers,” aka hanging dice mobiles that you can hang in your home for decoration/good dice luck


i also sell bags of “misfit” dice, which are unpolished/uninked dice that are great for making jewelry/keychains or learning how to finish your own dice. right now, misfit dice bags are buy 2 get 1 free, plus i’ll throw in a free set of polishing papers and instructions on how to finish them yourself.

it’s unfortunately quite likely that i’ll no longer be able to continue running the business after this, as i’m looking for another full-time job to support myself, so i’d love to get everything in the shop cleared out before i move at the end of the month. you can check it out here:
http://cosmicchaosdice.com
i know times are tough and money is tight for everyone right now, and handmade dice aren’t cheap, so if you’re not in the market for the stuff i make, it would mean the WORLD to me if you could reblog this or share it with someone who might be interested!!!
thanks for reading 💜 love, cass

Do you guys ever think about the fact, that everything written in Date-A-Dex is implied/outright shown to be written by Skylar herself, so there is a slight chance that the information given in it is not 100% truth but rather Skylar's own perception and judgement and possibly can be challenged in the future? Because I do (No, I am NOT deluding myself into thinking so because I want to believe that Lux isn't completely shallow like Date-A-Dex description is making them out to be and is actually capable of character development and atoning for being such a dick to anyone around them, why'd you ask-)
#eugenedathinker#date everything#de#team 17#look i am a fuck up#and i'm rarely right in my media analysis#but i do think it could've been an interesting concept to think about#we're still not exactly sure how do dateviator glasses work (even with an info about the suspension of disbelief)#so i'm making my own theories to fit my agenda while i can#also lux is my guilty pleasure character sorry#i just want to know where their story can go#i am literally broke rn so i won't be able to buy the full game#but still i would love to see people doing something with them#yeah i also may or may not ship them with chance for a little bit#or their whole gng gang as a big polycule lol#i just want this dice to call lux out on their bs

I REALLY JUST SAT DOWN FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS TO MAKE REGRETEVATOR NPC DESIGNS AND FALL DEEPER DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE. WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING TO ME
Considering the goofy nature and the endless potential and possibilities that seem to come with Regretevator and its characters, I thought it would be really fun (and a good character design exercise) to make some NPC designs! I tried to remain as faithful as you can get to the Regretevator "standards" with these. Tried to be goofy. A few of them do have lore that goes a bit deeper in my head despite their goofy designs :)
#no time to make a just-in-case transcript for the first image right now i'm sorry :[#anyway I really like these guys#might draw more Regretevator#i don't know if anyone's interested LOL#feel free to send asks about these characters i have a lot of thoughts#sock art#regretevator#regretevator oc#regretevator lampert#regretevator infected#regretevator lampert jr#regretevator the destroyer#regretevator ella#regretevator geoff the harmer#regretevator the janitor#regretevator gus#regretevator dice#regretevator chlad

people dont draw kokichi wearing silly lil capes/cloaks more often and i think thats so tragic
#u have a grand total of THREE instances where he wears a cape i think that should be enough proof that this is integral to his character /j#might be more idk all i know is the splash art the dice cg and the halloween costume#this is ur sign to change that. put his ass in a cape do it do it NOWWW /j#kokichi ouma#kokichi oma#breeze art#no one will ever understand why the fucking sniper laser cracks me up the way it does . frankly i wont either#his ass is unaware..... goodnight sweet borreguito........#maybe im just tired. hello 3am#if u recognize the outfit in the top right doodle uhhhhhh u get a high five#i got lazy on the top left i couldnt be bothered to make it look interesting#its loosely inspired by a cape i have actually. mainly just the cottony border/underside#i wasnt about to replicate the design fffffuuuck that

I kind of worry daggerheart streamlined so many mechanics to make it "narrative focused" that what rules are there are a bit too loose for me. At that point just make a roleplay group.
#bean.txt#daggerheart#what makes a good rule is how interesting it is for players to either follow break or exploit them#and i dont believe those get in the way of narrative. rather they cause unforseen bumps in the road that texture that narrative#i think the bitd style of rolling multiple dice to influence the total is interesting. i think the stress system is an interesting idea.#but so much other stuff is simplified to the point it's kind of annoying#the combat system is really close to ones ive seen in warrior cats discord roleplay 😭#my parties arent even combat heavy tbh im way too permissive of a GM if they want to just avoid conflict#but it means when they DO might i want there to be tension. if they're not going to fight much then the battles they choose are high stakes#like im a rule-of-cool GM who rewrites a lot of stuff or makes exceptions to rules so we can do cool stuff but#i think ita fun for them to BE exceptions as special circumstances especially if my players earn it with rlly clever moves#which even my beginner players do and it's so rewarding to see that kind of thinking#i think maybe mercer and i have very different GM ethos

another Pippins related headcanon, or more like an expansion or explanation to that one doodle i posted recently
Pippinses wear a little pin on their shirts that look like dice, and the number on the pin represents their rank. the higher the number on the die, the higher the Pippins is ranked. at least that's how it used to be
i feel like the badge is mostly a remnant of an older time. when Pippinses used to live in Card Castle (before Spade King overthrew everyone), this system was still in use. since the badge is worn on the shirt, the uniform used to just be the shirt with a tie. of course, lower ranked Pippinses were treated way worse than the higher ranked ones. there are of course ones that were never in Card Castle, and thus never got a badge
nowadays the badges don't really mean anything. some Pippinses still choose to wear the badge either on the shirt like they used to, or on the poncho. i could see some of them trying to brag about which rank they used to have. some just like how the badge looks
i gave Battat a 4 point badge, mainly because i didn't really think much about it before. i think he might have had a lower rank before he came to TV World. maybe a 2. he still has the badge mainly cause he's too lazy to remove it. or maybe he found the one he has now and painted it green, just so he could cheat his way up. it didn't work out too much since being one of the few non-red Pippins around, the others immediately think it's suspicious he's suddenly two ranks higher
he's probably glad that this ranking system isn't in use anymore, but he does sometimes wish that his work was a bit more appreciated
#toast talk#deltarune#deltarune pippins#pippins#battat mike#deltarune battat#idk if any of this makes any sense#but oh well#this might be stupid but idk i liked the idea of the little dice badges#they could be enamel pins.. OR maybe like patches#not sure yet#i just call them pins cause uuuhhhhh idk thats the first word i thought of#but anyway im gonna stop rambling now#this is probably not interesting to anyone at all lmao#headcanons

the way members are stereotyped even in the year 2024 makes me INSANE. Minho homophobic jock. Kibum gayer than he actually is like they want him to be a white gay so bad and he really isn't like hes actually just normie gay. Taemin either uwu audhd quirkbean or gay as well meanwhile he's giving aggressively heterosexual. Jinki boring old chicken yoga. Jonghyun I don't even wanna speak on because the way he's talked about and stereotyped these days is a big fat MESS
no bcs you would think a group that has been around for 16 years wouldn't have to deal with something like this but WRONG and it's not only new fans that do it like old fans do nawt joke abt making up shit lol. 'I'm a debutwol so i know x and y 🤓' FAWK OFF bcs these are the same ppl who started labeling minho as violent bcs of some inside joke during that vlive with the other members and joked that he was the one who broke kibum's arm in hard era or are conviced that actually the reason jinki doesnt strip is bcs he likes to 'tease jjinggus'
and jjong being reduced to #taeminniesmom pisses me off so much im sorry
#its so funny when they try to make kb a white gay he just likes lady gaga AND THATS it. hes a jumping boa and loves namie amuro he doesnt#give af ABOUT whatever white gay music you're listening DAMN.....#and you can notice how this effects how their music is received by the fandom like even if jk released dice ppl were still flaggergasted#that he released beat drum like hes still a ballad singer to them just like tm is still just a dancer when yk hes a great vocalist#dont get me started on minho like i need several ppl to 🎲 call back era is like him trying to make ppl care abt his music but ppl make go#viral only some type of posts abt him like his the seasons segment was insane and the fact he said hes going with live band in his con IS SO#interesting but no one is talking abt it#asks#anon#answered#and yeah thinking abt how jjong gets treated these days makes so angry and sad like

the saves for persuasion rolls when you're trying to convince a companion to use the astral tadpole:
Astarion: 15*
Gale: 18
Karlach: 7, then 14**
Lae'zel: 18
Minthara: none lol
Shadowheart: 15
Wyll: 18
*Astarion doesn't require a persuasion roll. you have to talk him into it through multiple dialogue choices instead of a persuasion check, and then it requires either wisdom or intimidation at 15 for him to finally agree
**Karlach requires one persuasion roll at 7 and then a second persuasion or intimidation roll at 14
(note these are all from my games, not any meta data, so i don't know if there are conditions that may change the rolls, but the numbers have seemed consistent through multiple games)
#for reference#astarion#gale#karlach#lae'zel#minthara#shadowheart#wyll#astarion's and karlach's are both like 'hey i want to control my own body again'#so it's not so much about the dice roll for them and more about the player having to make shitty dialogue choices to convince them#which is an interesting mechanic against even lae'zel#who is so adamantly against mind flayers but can be convinced with one line if you pass her persuasion check#meanwhile minthara requires no convincing she's just down with the tadpole

Cleaned the bookshelves in my living room (3 of them) and have been unpacking some books, largely bc i wanna work on reading my volumes of trimax again. I also have the 5th trimax volume coming in today, so as I was unpacking the others I went 'man i hope that comes in before I finish this so I can take pics of them all together'
Then I checked my phone, and guess who has a package >:)
#speculation nation#i'll still probably wait until im done unpacking all of the books in these boxes b4 i take and post pics. but it's still exciting to see!!!#i was tempted to pull out my boxes of manga that have been in storage for fuckin Years. 4 Or More years.#some havent been out since like. man. 6 to 8 years ago??? something like that#theyve been in indefinite storage bc i just didnt have bookshelf space. but i Have It Now.#however im likely to wanna put a lot of it in the bookshelves in my bedroom. and i dont wanna clean Those off too#plus all the organizing when i have other things to do... eh#so im unpacking the boxes of books i had out on my shelves at my previous apartment. which includes all my favorite manga and such#and im putting them in the living room for now. remains to be seen where i put the rest of the manga#or whether i move this manga into my bedroom. to keep them all together.#a lot of it is like. how overt do i wanna be about my nerd interests in the main areas lol. i already have my itachi figurine out#and im gonna have my other figurines out. 2 of my 3 display cases are in the living areas. including the nice big one#but idk. idk! i'll have to make some decisions.#also like. organizing??? ive kept my manga organized by favorites primarily. top shelf being top favorites. 2nd shelf being other favorites.#and bottom shelf being the rest of them. for the 3 shelf bookshelf i had.#that bookshelf is currently in my bedroom again. but i have the BIG shelves in the living room#i could easily fit all my manga onto there. probably. unless i have more than i remember. plus the stuff ive gotten since#ive had. a lot of manga in the past. so i'll have to see.#if i do put all of them on the big shelves then itd make more sense to order them in some sort of alphabetical#or maybe by how they Look. rather than just which ones are my favorites. but idk.#again!! decisions!!! this is why i dont wanna break them out yet lol#bc id also like to go to the grocery today and do some dishes and put away some clothes boxes and also do some litter box stuff#and i dont wanna put ALL my energy into unpacking my books. u feel??#later. i'll do those later. itll be really fun when i do tho!! im gonna Love having a bunch of this stuff finally out in view#i finally have SPACE for things!!!#i was thinking too about where to display my dice. i have Three shelves for them. 2 of them were out on display. and all were full up#i got more dice boxes too and id Love to have all of my dice displayed together. but the only place that'd be good for that is out in the#dining area. and a part of me is like 'no this should be a bedroom thing' but like why should it? the whole apartment is mine.#ill have my nerd interests out on full display and itll be cool as fuck#and besides. if i ever do end up doing games at my place wouldnt it be nice to have all the dice Right There? makes ya think.

what do you do when you feel like being vulnerable with anyone in your life is an immediate turn off for them
#wordvomit#'i had a dream about my ex it feels like hes haunting me' to my closest friends and they all side eye each other and say nothing#i find myself in a situation where i feel unable to talk about myself or my interests or my feelings#moreso just responding to other people and trying to give them investment#it varies based on the person but it just always feels like they range from disinterested to annoyed#and no one really initiates conversations with me anymore?#i try to prompt things but no dice most of the time#only if its a shared interest/they have some investment#i find myself picking things to be interested because i think my friends might like talking abt it with me#who knows. sorry tumblr ur my diary#im gonna go do drugs abt this#also saying this here since it will never be read anywhere by anyone who its relevant to#yall ever feel so pressured to perform on smthn thats supposed to be your own creative for fun project#that it isnt fun anymore and you just hand the reigns over#idk i cant help but feel like its my fault somehow but also. my ideas will come to me when they come to me#now im sitting here focusing so hard on making good characters i dont feel like i can do anything organic#im sorry i have a different creative process and im sorry i cant force myself bc ur hyperfixated#wow im just yammering sorry#things that i have been pondering that arent worth actually saying bc nothing will happen besides drama#and then no real change

maan, I never would've thought criticism for *cr would ever breach tumblr walls...the last season really wasn't any good, was it -_-
#personally I hope they pivot back to more structured play#one may think that being lenient with the rules would make for more interesting stories#but not really#it just means nothing is important anymore if your dice get cocked until you just get the result you want :/#or you can use a successful divine intervention when there are no gods around anymore to answer#come on guys give me some spice in this meal

What's ttrpgs?

I just stared at my screen like this
#i. don't know how to explain them when people actually ask but they're basically pen and paper roleplaying games where you make up a#character and you write down their info on a sheet of paper and then (most of the time) you use dice to determine how their actions go but#that's just in most of the campaigns I have ever played in#oh yeah !!! so campaigns are like long running versions of the adventures you play in as these characters and one shots are one off#adventures !!! the most notable ones are in the fantasy genre (like D&D and Pathfinder) but they can exist for any genre (modern fantasy)#and sci fi#within existing fictional universes with examples such as the Star Wars TTRPGs and the Alien RPG which are#less known :( the actual acronym stands for Table-Top Roleplaying Games ! I probably should have told you that at the beginning hehehehhe#my personal favorites are D&D#you also use 6 polyhedral dice for the games#sorry i started yapping so much im autistic and this is one of my special interests so I'm really passionate about this#if this still doesn't make sense please tell me so i can explain it more cohesively

Hi! 👋 Do you have any lgbt+ hcs for asoue or atwq? 🌈 :)
Hi! 👋
Thanks for the ask!! Here's some of my headcanons:
ASOUE:
Violet - bi. also i think it'd be funny if she had crushes on both Isadora and Quigley, and made some comment about "hey, maybe i have a type. or something." meanwhile her siblings are like. violet. they are identical.
Carmelita - aro. doesn't realize this until way after canon (assuming the entire unfortunate gen survives for the sake of both the post and my feelings) because she genuinely never considers that romantic attraction is like. a real thing. she thinks everyone's just being weird about dating because they're just weird like that. and she's totally better than them anyways, so she doesn't really give it any more thought for a while. she basically avoids the entire self-questioning stage like that, and it isn't until a while after canon, once she's kind of had a redemption arc and kind of formed some kind of connection with other characters, that she's just arguing with someone one day about something to do with romance, and the other character is like. uh. actually that's not universal and i think you might be aro. and she kind of has to process that for a few minutes. but she ends up basically going "oh, so it's not everyone? it's just me? that's awesome." also modern AU Carmelita would make those posts that are like, pink hearts and sparkly, elegant cursive saying stuff like "romance is dead and i killed it." (i just googled it, it's called aro lovecore.) anyways, post-canon aro Carmelita. :)
Isadora - trans girl. and she's unsure of her specific orientation, but knows she definitely likes girls.
Quigley - ace. questioning both gender and romantic orientation, but probably somewhere under the nonbinary umbrella. and possibly bi. listen just let the kid figure stuff out post-canon. where's that post that goes "i'm probably nonbinary but i have a job so idc about that right now". that's Quigley but the job is not dying and processing childhood trauma.
Sunny - post-canon, older Sunny also gets hit by the aro headcanon beam. i just think it'd be really neat.
not a lot of thoughts on the sugarbowl gen, except possibly pan Beatrice Baudelaire and aro Sally Sebald? idk, I think about the unfortunate gen a lot more, ha.
ATWQ:
Moxie - possibly arospec? okay, admittedly i just thought of this headcanon now. but arospec Moxie would add an interesting layer to her dynamic with Ellington and Lemony. especially if you interpret the Lemony/Ellington as onesided, with Lemony being the one with the romantic feelings. because like. platonic jealousy over your best friend's crush (who doesn't reciprocate, but maybe she does, but who even cares? not Moxie.) is an interesting dynamic. because Ellington Feint contrasts her in a thousand narrative, thematical ways that other people could write about better than me. but Lemony's also kind of infatuated with her, and she gets that slightly romanticized place in his narrative that Moxie doesn't. and of course that could lead to additional resentment. and some of it's jealousy, some of it's anxiety, some of it's frustration, but the whole thing could lead to really interesting internal conflict. especially after Lemony leaves, and the other kids have to figure out a new sense of normal after all that. idk. interesting thought.
Ellington - lesbian. also just thought of that one now, so idk. but i've been kind of on the fence for a while about the Lemony/Ellington thing and all it's ambiguity. my current headcanon is that it was onesided on Lemony's side, and that Ellington didn't have any romantic feelings for him. and i need to reread the books, i love them so much and it's been a little while, but yeah, Ellington being gay is a neat concept, i think.
in conclusion, i think basically all of these characters are Very Much Not Straight, but the ones listed were just the first ones i could think of!
thanks again for the ask!! have a great day, and happy pride month!! :)
#i have so many aro headcanons i didn't even realize i had. self-projection is a wonderful thing. :)#asoue#atwq#oh also i forgot to mention but lemony & moxie is an entirely platonic dynamic to me.#like maybe there was subtext there but i am looking away. i do not see it. i just like seeing it as platonic jealousy on moxie's part.#it just makes their dynamic more interesting and fun to me. they were best friends and they probably changed each other forever.#and they played dice games together. and maybe they never saw each other again. who knows. idk. they give me a lot of emotions. :(#i NEED to reread atwq though. it has been TOO LONG.
