one problem with DnD is that I'll often say things like 'this tavern has a clockwork cricket that actually chirps' specifically because I want that in real life, but when it's something like that that doesn't actually exist but COULD and DEFINITELY SHOULD it starts to make me go 'how hard could metalworking be'

#hard!! you can't just do this!!!#it's bad enough when I put cool stuff into my dnd characters/ backstory worldbuilding that I can buy in real life #because I trick myself into spending money jhfkjhgd #when it's something I could theoretically MAKE... if I only had the SKILLS......#sigh #mel has also done little clockwork creatures that can make lifelike little noises because I just think the concept is good #but the cricket is part of a clock commissioned for The Copper Cricket-- a tavern and inn in Aubree's hometown #and there are in-world reasons it's called that and has that and soforth but ALSO I JUST. WANT IT TO BE REAL SO BAD!!!#anyway I was thinking about it again just now because we wanna build a basement bar and of course it's gonna have a sign for the cricket #but FUCK I'd love to have the chirping figurine as part of the decor too :') but it doesn't EXISSSST #about me
