Forgot to add yellow stripes to one of the snakes so I decided to make that canon

[noodles-and-tea]

Of the Arcane D&D group, does any of them enjoy making and painting figurines of their characters or the environment? Like I could see Ekko and Jinx having fun with the painting, but would Jayce ever make fancy sets for Viktor’s campaign?

Ekko and Jinx definitely make the most art out of the group, I think Ekko would make and paint figures and Jinx would doodle character art and comics of stuff that happens in sessions.

I think that maybe Jayce helps a bit with making figures - he usually puts together the big boss ones for Viktor since he gets special spoiler knowledge.

Viktor puts a lot of effort into curing playlists, ambients and backgrounds for immersion purposes. I think he also might draw his own characters for the party to reference.

i'm back!

ok so 2/3 days ago i found this youtube video where op turned Springtrap (or well, William Afton) into a fully build DnD character, and if i say so myself: things got out of hand fast

so here is my take on DnD Springtrap and specifically on that build (adding more infos under the cut for who is interested, i suggest to watch the video first)

starting with saying that unless you're playing in a scifi setting, this build is either not for you or to be modified, since in later levels spells are heavily centered around technomagic and electronic devices; personally when i will play him i will probably tinker around with the chosen spells and cantrips to make him less violently niche and/or more versatile

which kinda saddens me because it takes away not little of the characterization but, given most dnd stories take place in a medieval fantasy or high fantasy setting, a cantrip like On/Off or a spell like Remote Access are NOT particularly useful; so i will go for more psychic damage or necromancy oriented abilities, maybe i might take more than just 4 levels in artificier as well (especially given that again, all of those warlock spells at later levels are all technology oriented) but i need to see what those offer

however it is a kinda tank-y build given that with a shield on you can get up to a 27 of Ac, so even with low damage and not much hp you would not struggle too much to stay alive, and i like that!

as for the character himself, i put too much effort into my interpretation not to share it, so if anyone wants to play this guy as well, i fabricated a possible backstory that might come useful:

The character goes by the name "Dave Miller" (or whatever variant you want to use), and was originally a human artificier who created constructs for a living, mainly with the goal of offering aid to who needed it for whatever reason.

There however he ran into an issue, that being that a robot need a power source, and his own heart and lungs could not sustain a whole robot by themselves.

After losing part of his family to some kind of accident he became terrified of death, so with age he started replacing his own body parts with machinery to delay his last days (which made him a cyborg), until the point where he was very very close to become just a robot.

(This part may or may not involve a pact with a deity of death, this entirely depends on how you want to play him but it would make sense since the build is an artificier/warlock hybrid)

Through particular and very much not illegal experiments tied to necromancy he discovered that the life force of a living being could be shared, and used as a form of fuel. (possibly: age lived of the creature used= amount of extra months you get)

Here comes the second problem: this only worked with intelligent creatures, and more specifically, it worked best with creatures of your own race, which meant that he either went around murdering people or he found another solution. Non same-race creatures worked as well but not as good and there were not easy to find in the middle of a city and with a shop tied to your name.

And here is where and WHY he'd join a party of adventurers: after some time, his reserves or fuel were running VERY thin, and running into a group of adventurers was a god sent because by joining their party he essentially got a free pass to kill whoever he wanted, and reduce them to a dried raisin after sucking some life force out of them. Doing so you learn that the mowe powerful the creature is, the more energy it produces as well.

Your goal, that you as the player are following, when role-ing your character? essentially slay whatever powerful BBEG your Dm throws at you and suck all of that juicy fuel out of them, so that you can return to your little shop in the middle of the capital and return to create and sell whatever weird construct, doll, or robot comes to your mind for another few decades undisturbed.

And this is it. I think this might be a good backstory that could fit pretty much any setting you want to play this guy into, be it classic dnd or some scifi futuristic thing.

of course you don't NEED to use this one line per line, make up your own without looking back if you don't like it lol, dnd is the "make up shit and have fun" game after all!

Edit: also no his outfit makes no sense, i just went with vibes and decided a tanktop dress shirt, a twin tailed gilet and suspenders OVER said gilet was a good choice.

Fun Game: Make Yourself in 3-6 Eureka Traits!

There's a bit more to Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy character creation than just picking Traits, but this is a meme not a serious character creation session.

Make yourself in three to six Eureka Traits. Here's a big list of them. This isn't literally all the Traits, just the ones that have finished art. If you want to pick from all the Traits, feel free to download the free rulebook linked above! If you want to go a little further, you can explain your reasoning for why you picked each Trait and what they mean to you and about you.

Tag us, or just reblog your results onto this post! You don't have to make yourself either, it could be a character from pop culture, your friend, your OC, whatever! We wanna see what you do with it!

please share you D&D characters (if you’d like to)! I am intrigued

you can find a lot about them on my personal art blog @aldasart and my YouTube channel (link in pinned post) BUT HELL YEAH ILL TALK ABOUT THEM MORE i am ALWAYS ready to ramble about my babies

Vrey: (tifeling warlock)

the OG baby's-first-serious-character so she has so much angst. Stolen from her mommy, cult baby, horribly psychologically abused until she snaps and makes a pact with an eldritch god for revenge....against whom, who can say (it might be the God itself). She got indoctrinated to a team of other fucked up ppl and scored a villainous boyfriend for the ages. Also she's like the daughter of Satan and next in line to rule the underworld. She plays the violin badly.

Ca: (aaracokra ranger)

Just a simple bird from a non-serious campaign. They're an American crow with a southern accent that really loves their family (and cheetah sorta-boyfriend). They're aro-ace and an arrow-ace!

Dana: (shifter barbarian)

My current active baby that i love so so so much. They're pangender and can feel no physical pain, behind those empty dumb eyes is a lot of turmoil that neither I nor she understands. Has bad history with any kind of romantic/affectionate feelings. Dumb as hell. Also a demigod???

Cairn: (necromancer zenadrim/giant)

Sweet baby huge guy whom no one wants and he is so so afraid. He has a mechanism in his back that allows a wielder to control his body and senses, and they sure do! He has suffered a lot for it! Mental torture style! Nonetheless he somehow has a very close team and two potential love interests (basically confirmed they're all VERY close). Also he's gay.
