Hero Forge has a new head editor that I'm finally playing around with, and new hairstyles.
So I've changed Enil and Jalon a little.
#enilasor mistfield#jalon#campaign: no story here#campaign: the coming of the dark#enil has rounder cheeks#im happy for her#and jalon looks like the girl from labyrinth and that wasnt the intention

I might've added the BG3 Art Book to my dnd assets stash
It' 100% does not have things like the 5e players' handbook + 5eās character sheet, several gm guides, critical role's explorer's guide to wildmount, baldur's gate and waterdeep city encounters, 101 potions and their effects, volo's guide to monsters, both of xanathar's guides, a bunch of other encounters, one shots, and class builds
In no way are there any pdfās relating to any wizard who may or may not be residing on any coast
(Edit that Iāve moved the folder to the new link above! So if you catch a different version of this post that link wonāt work anymore!)

I will likely never use it but now I want to make a grief domain cleric that's primarily for a healer's build...and uses a nerfed version of the banshee wail spell from pathfinder at higher levels.
#excuse me but ive got nothing to do at work today so i think im going to do it...#campaign: no story here#s/o to that despair domain homebrew that's inspired it

It's looking like there's a growing divide between Campaign watchers and Tlovm watchers in terms of like. We're here for the characters. 12-episode seasons aren't. They can't be. I'm already making peace with everything we'll lose in the Mighty Nein show, and I know I will enjoy it for what it is but I also know that almost nothing that made the story so special will translate to the screen, because turning it into a show automatically means (in this day and age) that plot must be the number one priority. They've already come out and told us it's going to be different, the characters we know and love but new stories.
Because that's how this has to work. And I feel bad for campaign one lovers, because while it is certainly the easier of the two to translate to a big, overarching story, even though it's a more "traditional" high fantasy story with easier archetypal characters, the archetypes and the plot aren't what cemented most people's love for the campaign. So much of the love for critical role is stored in the interpersonal dynamics and the payoff that comes from hundreds of hours of tiny interactions that one day become cornerstones of development and even affect or dictate the plot.
There's no room for that. There's no room for Bard's Lament in a story that cannot afford to remove and replace a main character. A lot of tlovm is for people who have been here for all of campaign one. Most of it, however, isn't. It's for a new crowd. While CR may have creative control, you can bet your ass that there were months and years devoted to figuring out how to map a character-focused love of the show into a plot that hits the right beats to be viable in the show market.
And it worked. Tlovm has consistently high viewing numbers, and its popularity has brought and will continue to bring new people into the universe who have never interacted with CR previously. That's not a bad thing - imagine finishing your favorite show and discovering it has another FIVE HUNDRED HOURS of the equivalent of behind the scenes content. That's incredible for these newcomers. But man, it is in many ways a loss for us.
#Tlovm spoilers#In some ways it's like looking into a dark mirror#And this is again with a story that's relatively easy to plot with clear arcs and themes#The mighty Nein was a sandbox that was entirely character driven in terms of where they went and what they did#It has a few loose arcs but even the fact that molly died so early#The fact that he haunts the remainder of the show#That's going to be lost. Its impact on Yasha and on beau who spends the rest of the campaign looking for a chance to do what he did#The fact that his death tied narratively into Caleb getting the spell for their hut - their home - and nearly crying#Knowing he had a way to keep them safe after they lost one#None of that is plottable#I'm losing my thread of thought and I have to work but. I don't even know if sad is the right word#Because CR has gotten so far. So much further than anything of its kind.#There is much joy here and I will adore seeing the Nein#But it's okay to acknowledge that capitalism strips away the ability to focus on the heart of critical role#And that's why the live play media is so special#That's literally what makes it special and what makes the story so impactful#Critical role

Star of the Forest
#one of our campaign's players didn't have time & desire to continue with us anymore which is a shame#she was a good friend and we were a really tight knit group once. It has been a though year seeing her slowly go#but the DM @artist-rat decided that we will continue without her nevertheless so Rhiam's story doesn't end here <3#c: Rhiam#story: Heartland#dnd#ttrpg

So I had a bad feeling that our DM would make Knashthra a creation of a Black Book and last night confirmed it and I can't decide if I want to kill him or not.
#on the upside the ppl were real which was another concern of mine#what if they were all made up by the book too. you know?#cant decide if them being subtly influenced by the book is better or worse#anyway so i think im going to kill my dm#campaign: no story here#campaign: the coming of the dark

Iām really really curious how Pikeās arc is going to go in the next couple of seasons.
By this point in the campaign she was rebuilding the Everlightās temple in Vasselhiem. Sheād reconciled, working along side her goddess to help bring some worship back.
In the show, shes rejected her. She doesnāt wear her symbol around her neck anymore. We already had the reconciliation, Pike wasnāt forced to choose anything, only to be true to herself. But, after the conversation with Zerxus, sheās rejected Sarenrae again.
Iām so so curious where this is going later. Pikeās relationship with the everlight is such an important piece of her character and has had a pretty significant impact as far as C3. Whatās the plan for the show now? Pike seems to be of special blood, something the Whispered One needs for some purpose (as teased by Zerxus). Is pike going to need to make up with her goddess? Have we abandon her completely? Pikeās powers donāt seem to have gone away?
Canāt wait for season 4.
#Iām not particularly pro or anti god in C3. Iām just here for the fantastic story#this has been such an interesting change in the show over the tabletop. HUGE implications for pickle later down the line#personally. i like the changes to the show. it would be a little boring if it was just the campaign again#thereās so many new characters and so much new lore from later games. itās fun to be kept guessing#lovm spoilers#lovm s3#lovm season 3#tlovm season 3#tlovm spoilers#critical role tlovm#critical role spoilers#critical role campaign 3#critical role#critical role downfall

is this overkill for a stupid silly iterator story? Yeah absolutely. But i meant to make a more simple map and got too into it... this isn't supposed to be 100% realistic but more give a general feel for the regions and Vibes
#rain world#rain world fanart#rainworld#rain world oc#i guess#?#story tag: bending horizons#i debated putting paths for the campaigns on here but i feel like that kind of defeats the purpose of it being a 'campaign'#the scugs take whatever path yaknow#esp ones that go really long distances like mercy

actually you know what
can we not tag Downfall as EXU: Downfall
this is a part of campaign three, not a separate series. this is critical to the storyline of this campaign. thereās a reason its episodes 99, 100, and 101.
itās not exandria unlimited.
itās campaign three.
edit: YES itās standalone, but it is inextricably linked into this campaign !! its still not exu ā both can exist!!!
#critical role#downfall#gripes that no one else gives a shit about#the bells are HERE they are watching WITH us#this story WILL impact the rest of the campaign to an unknown degree#its c3!!! this is what matt meant by all bets are off!!!#itās not exu

Character Sheets and character creation ā
When creating a character, thereās a lot of questions you ask yourself. Whether itās an original character or one youāve been playing for a long time, using a character sheet to get to know your character better can always be a nice idea. With itās help, youāll be able to think about things you didnāt necesarily thought about, and ask some important questions to yourself that might activate your characterās voice, or help you to get your muse back with them. Everyone has their favorite character sheets, some people prefer to have a lot of questions, some others like it a bit more vague, so hereās a masterlist of the character sheets I found on various websites and found quite interesting, plus some other things that could be used to help you see, for example, how other character view yours.Ā
Blank Character Sheet (+370 Questions)
Abridged Character Sheet (100 Questions)
Big-Ass Character Sheet
Character Creation Form
Character Sheet by Jody Hedlund
Creating a character Bio Sheet
Character Analysis Worksheet
100 Character Development questions for writers
Create a Character Profile
Character Development Worksheet
Original Character Bio-Sheet
Character Chart for Fiction Writers
A Character Chart By Charlotte Dillon
Fiction Writerās Character Chart
Detailed Character Sheet
Character Sheet Template
Character Twenty-Question Worksheet
In-Depth Character Sheet
Character Worksheet
Character Interview Sheet (First Person)
Background Questionnaire (First Person)
Characters Perceptions (How do other people perceive your character?)
With these sheets, you could also try to find your characterās Jung and Enneagram Type or use the Moral Alignment tool. All of these things can be really useful to get a better grip on a character.
Then, if youāre trying to create a character, and do not have many ideas, or get stuck, Iād suggest for you to roam around TVTropes, which gives you a lot of tropes used for character creation. Maybe you could try to mix a few of these and create an original character?
Or, if youāre a skillful writer and know how to make your character different from another, make a list of characters in fiction you happen to find interesting and why. Try to keep it short. Then, maybe, try to mix and match things from two or three characters, take a character and change their backstory, to see what would change. Play with them to inspire yourself and create something new, original and truly yours.
Oh, and hereās a little guide to Mary-Sues and OCs, just in case you want to make sure your character isnāt going to become a Mary-Sue or a Gary-Stu
And last but not least, this article about building fictional character definitely seemed interesting to me, and is full of many other links that could guide you during the creating of your character and help you file one of these sheets.

Favorite Horror Novels I Read in 2023:
#horror#horror novel#i need a reading tag#horror books#mister magic#dark harvest#the cabin at the end of the world#camp damascus#i think Brother was the most surprising for me in how much i loved its awful nastiness and gut punch ending#but props to Rachel Harrison for making a story about how your mother loves you enough to make you hate her#and never be nostalgic for a home that will gleefully kill you#two out of the three books here have terrible film adaptations#bones and all innocent#especially since Luca Guadagnino worked overtime to make the movie about queer life on the margins#john waters and i agree: timothee was doing his best impersonation of a butch lesbian#also loved that Mister Magic was basically IT fanfiction on a campaign against Mormonism
