I miss playing these dorks lol

Yngve and Lamia art by @countslimeula

[cringefaecompilation]

okay since i have felt i've been really negative i am going to be positive and talk about something near and dear to my heart. fanart redesigns!

this design of braius by @phi-guy is delightful, including the mustache variant. i'm not a big fan of him as a character, but this is a great compromise with the holstein patterns on his humanoid face that previously left a few furries disappointed.

fcg is a very tough character to stylize, given the whole... aeormaton of it all and that they're so intricately designed that any attempts to move any part of their body around tend to make things they do in-game not make sense. the blades of grass emblem being revealed as bloody fingerstreaks, for one. but this design by hugo cardenas strikes a good balance between canon and fanon where you don't have to sacrifice accuracy for imagination or vice versa

imogen sadly doesn't receive a lot of redesigns in fandom and even got hate (?!) for people putting glasses on her. but for the people that do a little more than that, i would have to give my favorite design to @rokiie! it's subtle, but i love that she's musclechubby and mixed, and her curly hair and ponytail is adorable. @jadequarze also has a nice looking mog, though theirs is more angular than bulky.

ashton is another character hard to redesign... because his original design is so damned complex it feels like a downgrade to change it. so not a lot of people do and focus more on his outfit and body type. so that's why these two, by @magscherer and @ladysantos are so great! little tweaks that make him fat or simplify him are so nice

@lyadrielle has the most complex chet redesign i've ever seen. i love how in-depth it is, and even if full head of hair chet isn't canon, i still adore the fluffiness of it. also quick shout out to @colealexart giving chetney a mustache because i love it.

conversely from her girlfriend, people love to redesign laudna, if not just to pump up her creepy factor over her "bizzarely beautiful" factor. @astoriacolumnstaircase and @paragonraptors do this in a fun-scary way! i love how spindly they make her, like a praying mantis. for a more scary-scary way, @cpprcoyote's laudnas are stunningly creepy and lovely. @galacticjonah's take on her is also very cute with her billowing fabrics surrounding her like a security blanket. good stuff!

being the mixed orym truther guy, naturally i love art that makes him a man of color, and this art by @therosecleric hits the mark for how i see him in my head. i love his curls, his jaw, and his strong nose, and it's always good to give him muscles in a way that don't make him look like a tween who powerlifts. the previously mentioned @magscherer's art of him is a bit more hobbit-y but still scratches the same itch. love me a brown eyed orym. @jennydolfen also gets points for her terrific hobbit/halfling proportions

@jam-etc's critical role redesigns might not be for everyone, but i love 'em all. dorian here looks so friendly and seeing his native culture depicted so overtly in his outfit is awesome! no whitewashed dorians allowed. on the same token, here's a repeat of @therosecleric's dorian art because it also is great to see him with curly hair and a wide nose. this design by @caitmayart with dark cloudy speckles on his body is incredibly nice as well.

and of goddamn course fearne gets the most art. it's fearne! there are so many good pieces of her i could not choose one. i love ones that play up her goat-y nature, like @willowbirds, @rainbow-roll-art, and @phi-guy again. and i love fat fearnes, like these two by @marmadelin and @countslimeula. this one by @maluspumilaa is so beautiful, making her a little more fey and extremely animalistic. all fearnes is good fearnes

We just posted character profiles! Right now we only have images of two of our leads. Hopefully, we'll have the rest soon.

Lamia Ambler Age: 32 Race: Changling Pronouns: She/Her Gender: Female Height: 5'4" Occupation: Thief, Con Artist, and Escaped Convict Class: Rogue Voice Actor: Kat Walker Shea

Lamia doesn’t talk about her childhood. Her best friend, Allie, is the only person who knows what Lamia’s upbringing was like. She also doesn’t talk much about what crimes landed her in prison.

Lamia and Allie, the Dragonborn Barbarian, have recently escaped from prison. Lamia acts as the brains while Allie is the brawn. Lamia’s a con artist and thief, and she considers herself as more intelligent than most people. She’s smug and her ego is often her downfall. She likes to be perceived as tough as nails, but she’s a lot more sensitive than she lets on. It doesn’t take much to hurt her feelings.

Due to her ability to shape shift into any humanoid, Lamia is able to blend into any crowd. She has the skills and brains to take care of herself. It’s just that her bloated sense of self-importance always lands her in hot water.

While on the run from the law, Lamia and Allie accidentally get caught up in a rebel group looking to overthrow the corrupt monarchy.

Abilities Shapeshifting: Lamia can change her appearance and voice to any Medium sized, humanoid creature she has seen before. The biggest downside is that she will still need to find appropriate clothing and equipment if she plans to deceive others with her changed appearance.

As a rogue, she’s good at stealth and sneak attacks. She’s highly skilled at melee combat, but she often can slip right by people without being noticed.

Languages Spoken: Common, Draconic, and Thieves’ Cant

Weapons: Crossbow, Dagger, and Crescent Moon Knife

Favorite Foods: Apples, Cakes, Sweet Apple Tart with a Caramel Drizzle, and Beef Stew with Sourdough

Yngve Omdahl  Age: 134 Race: Half-Elf Pronouns: He/Him Gender: Male Height: 5'8" Occupation: Adventurer Class: Bard Voice Actor: Caleb Fietsam

Nobody knows Yngve’s real backstory because he tells everyone something different. He goes with the flow, or he’ll say whatever he needs to in order to get what he wants.

Yngve is a bullshitter. He often tells tall tales about himself at bars and rumors about him spread like wildfire. Whenever a story gets back to him, people have usually added more to it. If questioned about it, he just confirms the new additions are true. He will “yes, and…” anything you throw at him.

While he can hold his own in a fight, he’s not nearly as tough as he paints himself to be. He prefers to talk his way out of situations. His charisma allows him to get away with it… most of the time. He also likes to surround himself with people stronger than him for protection.

Yngve is blind in his right eye. This is due to optic nerve damage after an episode of optic neuritis. The eye functions, it just doesn’t relay information back to his brain. When asked, however, he always tells a different story as to how he lost his eyesight. It takes a long time before he trusts people with the truth about himself and, by then, it’s hard to convince people he is telling the truth.

Lamia and Allie meet him in a bar and he tells them about the underwater city, promising to guide them there for a fee.

He has a debilitating fear of bugs.

Abilities Darkvision: He can see in darkness for at least 60 feet.

Fey Ancestry: He’s less likely to be charmed, and magic can’t put him to sleep.

He is a musician and comedian. His instruments of choice are violin, harp, and lute. He also plays bagpipes and he’ll happily play them to torment people around him. He’s a big fan of terrible jokes, dad puns, and anti-humor.

Languages Spoken: Common, Elvish, and Abyssal

Weapons: Crossbow, Rapier, Shortsword

Favorite Foods: Cheese and Hot Beet Soup with Fresh Bread

[Image: a tweet by E-Log Musk @/MechaDenny reading, "Yu-Gi-Oh was so ahead of its time for including a relationship between people dressed like this."

The tweet has an image attached of of Yugi and Anzu from the Yu-Gi-Oh anime. He has spiky gravity-defying hair and all-black clothing. Two blue belts, multiple gold and silver bangles on his wrists, a leather collar, and a chain necklace holding the Millennium Puzzle, which looks like a gold pyramid with an eye design on it. She has chin length brown hair, a yellow crop top, pink shorts, a lighter pink unbuttoned shirt, and an orange bag over her shoulder.

Twitter user Aries Jimenez @CountSlimeula responds, "trans mascs dating t-girls be like"

Both tweets are dated to November, 2022. End description.]

I've been wishing I could join a TTRPG with one of my dorks, like one of these three! It doesn't have to be DnD by any means, just some kind of game that would welcome my brand of goofball.

Which of these 3 would you wanna see in YOUR game?

Lamia Ambler (she/her), Changeling Rogue. She acts tough, but is more sensitive than she lets on. It's very, very easy to hurt her feelings and she'll pretend she's not bothered. (You will see through her like cellophane.) She's a bit of a clown without knowing it. If she's in your party, she will act as an intentional and unintentional comedic relief. In the past, she used to travel with a giant Dragonborn barbarian who helped her steal and beat people up.

She will also steal anything not bolted down.

Paloma Silkflower (she/her), Drow Monk. She is sarcastic and overworked. She's a single mom to 3 kids and she's doing her best. Her youngest is deaf so she's adept at sign language. (As the kid's aunt, Lamia is also able to speak it.) She also has what is maybe the world's most understanding babysitter.

She's from the same orphanage as Lamia and she acted as a big sister to the other kids while growing up. Old habits die hard so she will be everyone's mom/big sister, albeit a very tired one. She'll lovingly bust your chops and tell you some great dad jokes. Or would they officially be mom jokes?

Tessa Chastain (she/her), Human Rogue Monk. She's upbeat, friendly, and good humored. I originally created her for BG3 to romance Gale and nothing more, but I'm fond of her now. She was born into a Zhentarim family which is why she's a thief, but doesn't really fit the usual vibe of one. It was a life she was born into, she didn't pick it. She's seen a lot of ugliness but refuses to become jaded.

She has an affinity for wizards, obviously.

I didn't mean to accidentally make Tessa a mix of Paloma and Lamia's classes. Lamia is one of my oldest DnD characters and I've been reimagining Paloma based on falling in love with the monk class.

[ghoulpepperv]

I got some art of my DnD/BG3 characters, Lamia, Paloma, and Tessa! All thanks to yourdndstories!

This goes great with my Yngve and Lamia art from @countslimeula!

[ghoulpepperv]

You can tell I'm getting back to scriptwriting because I'm obsessed with my own characters again. Someone has to be.

Thank you @countslimeula for this art!

NAME: Beryl Timbergrove

NICKNAME: Bear

GENDER: Female (She/Her, but she doesn't care if you use They/Them either)

STAR SIGN: I don't know, but going off this, she was born in Mirtul and she's 40-years-old

HEIGHT: 5'7"

ORIENTATION: Pansexual

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Wood Elf (Warlock Bard) from Friendly Arm

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: 4 hours of trance

DOGS OR CATS: Cats

DREAM TRIP: She would love to visit Neverwinter.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: She likes to have at least two. She gets cold easily.

RANDOM FACT: Beryl has no idea where she was actually born. She has mommy issues and they don't talk. Not very often, anyway, and it's never heartfelt. Her mother was an adventurer who didn't stop adventuring even while pregnant. It's anyone's guess where she's actually from. Her earliest memories are being raised by a halfling woman (who was not her mother) in Friendly Arm. Her mother isn't dead, just disinterested.

NAME: Theresa Siân Chastain

NICKNAME: Tessa and Tess

GENDER: Female (She/Her)

STAR SIGN: She wouldn't even know what to tell you. She was born in Eleint and she's 34-years-old though

FAVORITE FLOWER: Frostrose and Crocus

FAVORITE SCENT: Apple Cinnamon, Pears, Elderberry, Lingonberry, Lilacs, Roses, and Fresh Snow

COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE: Tea

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: About 6 hours.

DOGS OR CATS: Dogs, technically? She's all about wolves and foxes. She's the maniac who has a winter wolf as a pet.

DREAM TRIP: She'd love to visit home again, but Gale has gotten her curious about Waterdeep. She'd probably visit Waterdeep first.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: One. Most places outside of the Cold Lands are too warm for more than one. She only has the one because it feels weird to not have any blankets.

RANDOM FACT: Tessa comes from a family of thieves that's headed by her father. She has four older brothers and a twin brother. She and her brothers were raised to be criminals so they don't know any other lifestyle. Her parents are no longer together due to her dad's infidelity.

Like Yngve, I want more art of Lamia in the near future from the fabulous @countslimeula. Today I just want to gush about my characters AND encourage you to get some RPG art yourselves! @countslimeula has commissions! I'd one day love to get art of Lamia's sidekick, Allie the Dragonborn, too.

I keep going back and forth on writing stories for Lamia and Yngve. Or, perhaps, one day they'll get to be part of a D&D podcast. (It doesn't HAVE to be D&D. I'm open to other types of RPGs.)

If I'm ever in a position to just organize something myself, I will. I just do not have the time right now.

Lamia Ambler

Pronounced: LAH-mee-uh ahm-blur Race: Changeling Class: Rogue Age: Mid-20s to Early 30s Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Lamia and her sidekick, Allie the Dragonborn, recently escaped from prison. Lamia acts as the brains while Allie is the brawn. Lamia's a con artist and thief. She considers herself more intelligent than most people, even in situations where that isn't true. She's smug and her ego is often her downfall. She likes to be perceived as tough as nails, but she's a lot more sensitive than she lets on. It doesn't take much to hurt her feelings.

On the run from the law, she and her accomplice, Allie, are constantly on the move. They steal and con to make ends meet. Due to her ability to shapeshift into any humanoid, Lamia is able to blend into any crowd. She has the skills and brains to take care of herself. It's just that her bloated sense of self-importance always lands her in hot water.

Lamia is loyal to her closest friends, especially Allie.

[Reworking her stats now I know more D&D knowledge]

Abilities:

Shapechanger: Lamia can change her appearance and voice to any Medium sized, humanoid creature she has seen before. The biggest downside is that she will still need to find appropriate clothing and equipment if she plans to deceive others with her changed appearance, and she will still need to act appropriately.

Unsettling Visage. When a creature she can see makes an attack roll against her, she can use her reaction to impose disadvantage on the roll. She must use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses. Using this trait reveals her shapeshifting nature to any creature within 30 feet that can see her. Once she use this trait, she can’t use it again until she finishes a short or long rest.

Languages Spoken: Common, Draconic, and Thieves’ Cant Weapons: Crossbow, Rapier, Shortsword.
