Drowned Maidens

The souls of those who have died at sea, particularly in shipwrecks, are occasionally returned to "life" as Drowned Maidens, who live on the shores of wrecking islands, hoping to cure the sadness in their own hearts with the warmth of another soul. When their efforts inevitably fail to sate their hunger for any kind of warmth, they unleash a horrific scream. Any soul has a chance of becoming one, but young people who had much waiting for them at the end of their journey are most likely to return as Maidens. Contrary to what the name implies, Maidens may be of any gender. Additionally, their "charm" is not necessarily romantic in nature. Maidens are desperate for warmth of any kind, be it joy, rage, or lust. They will play any angle they can to get an unassuming adventurer within reach of their grasping hair.

Made a monster that's somewhere between a siren and a banshee for one of my D&D campaigns, and I wanted to play around with how these girls would look in their illusory forms compared to their "true" forms.

I used the "drowned maiden" statblock from Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts as a base, but then changed it up and added a whole bunch of new abilities. :)

And yes, the more I think about it, the more the Maidens are just the crew of the Black Pearl.

(Please imagine the "You'd best start believing in ghost stories Miss Turner." gif here. I spent like 10 minutes trying to find it in tumblr's gif search and came up dry.)

oh, and thank you to @simandy for making 3/4 of these hairs. Ellen really is the goddess of super-long hair.

ok i didnt realise there was fantasy high webtoon discourse but i dont get it. this isnt a live action remake situation its just an extra little thing u can enjoy if u want. its a little experiment to see how this story would be written in a different format. of course the designs are simplified they have to be drawn a million times over. nobody is stopping you from watching regular fantasy high for FREE this is not a replacement

The cat stared / «You are the wolf, indeed. But is he the snake?» «Am I wrong, then?» howled the wolf / «Am I wrong?»

The snake did not reply / The snake wasn't there «Am I wrong?» howled the wolf / «Wrong, again?»

The Extra Ordinary Kickstarter is now live!!!

Have you ever wanted to play a story game about kids with powers on the run? Are you a fan of Maximum Ride, Percy Jackson, or Animorphs? Did you wish all the kids in Stranger Things had powers like Eleven? Does a mix between X Men and The Goonies sound like a good time to you?

If yes, check out my game! Extra Ordinary is a rules-light, narrative-driven storytelling TTRPG about kids with extraordinary powers on the run from danger in the ordinary world. It uses no dice and has no game master—instead, everyone has narrative control and responsibility, and you use tokens to determine story beats and action outcomes. Funding now on Kickstarter!

ialso love playign superhero ttrpgs can i ask what the Masks ttrpg is? i love finding neww hero themed ttrpgs ^-^ yay!

Ohhh!! Hey! i love getting to talk ttrpg stuff thanks for the question!

MASKS: A New Generation is a superhero ttrpg about teenagers all trying to figure out who they are in a world filled with people constantly telling them who they are and how the world works. It's less about the powers and the fights and more about the emotional journey of the PCs with mechanics that support that. It's a really narratively driven game!

tldr: try it out! it's fun! it's simple! and it's low-prep (apparently, just not for me, but i'm always just gonna do Too Much). you want a system with mechanics that revolve around telling a story? around your character's emotions and how they view themselves? this is the one for you! it's great and i've really been enjoying it!!

First of all, it's a fail-forward system, so the way your character levels (advanced) is by missing rolls. I like this a lot.

There are ten core playbooks that are essentially the classes you can choose from. They each come with their own powers, some intentionally more impressive than others, but it's not about the powers; it's about the core conflict that comes with each of the archetypes. Here are a few playbook examples:

The Delinquent: You've got these cool powers. But everyone keeps telling you how to use 'em. You know what they need? Someone to give them trouble, to make sure they don't always get their way. And hey! You're the perfect her to do it.

The Legacy: You're the latest in a storied heroic lineage, a family that shares a name and a cause. Now, everybody is watching and waiting to see if you've got what it takes to uphold that tradition. No Pressure, right?

The Nova: You're a font of power. Channel it, and you can remake the world into exactly what you want. Unleash it, and you can do miracles. It's wonderful... and terrifying. Lose control for even a second, and other people get hurt.

Your stats are your Labels. They're how you see yourself, and how others see you. The Labels are DANGER, FREAK, SAVIOR, SUPERIOR, and MUNDANE. Different stats help with different Moves/rolls, so for example a high DANGER stat helps you Directly Engage a Threat, while a low MUNDANE stat makes it harder for you to Comfort or Support Someone. Your Labels are constantly being shifted around throughout the game as your character's self-image changes (and that self-image changes a lot, basically the NPCs are just label shifting machines).

The mechanics are fun! Instead of traditional damage, the PCs have Conditions that they take on, and what conditions a character has affects their rolls. The Conditions are Afraid, Angry, Guilty, Hopeless, and Insecure. So if you're Angry you take -2 on your roll to do the move Comfort or Support Someone, if you're Afraid, it's -2 on Directly Engage a Threat, etc. There are multiple ways to clear your conditions but the most straightforward way is to take a particular action, so if you're Angry you have to hurt someone or break something important, and if you're Afraid you have to run from something difficult. These actions lead to some awesome and surprising story beats!

There's some other stuff as well, but that's the gist!

Coming from DND, it took me some time to adjust to something so wildly different in terms of the system, but I've been enjoying it! I haven't gotten to play it as a PC, but running it has been an interesting challenge. I think it's a pretty simple system to work with, and I at least hear it's low-prep (again not for me tho lol). It's mechanically looser than the only other ttrpg I've played (dnd) and requires a lot more decision making from the whole table, so I think in a way it asks more of its players in that way. And the GM role is constantly on in a specific way, because it's up to the GM to listen and call out when a Move is being triggered and a roll should be made based on what the characters are doing in any particular scene.

anyway I can always have more to say but MASKS has been fun. I recommend giving it a shot! And then you should tell me what you thought about it!!

Lockwood Manor - Second Floor Bedrooms

I'm back on my building bullshit, and this time it involved decorating some of the bedrooms on the second floor of Lockwood Manor. I didn't have anyone particular in mind when I started decorating these, although technically I suppose they would be for Rook's half-brothers. (None of these actually feel fitting to any of the brothers, though, so imagine they're just guest rooms or something.)

How is my best friend Arthur has he helped you baldur any gates

He’s been good! My washing machine broke last week and I hauled it out the other day in preparation for the new one and he’s been loving his new Top Secret Hiding Spot.

We are taking a little bit of a Baldur’s Gate break right now just because I was getting burnt out. We’re slowly making our way through Mass Effect Andromeda for the second time. I’m very excited to get back to BG3 tho.

I left off right at the start of Act 2. I’m playing a Githyanki monk named Ez’rai and spent way too much time coming up with a backstory for them. I’m going to be romancing Wyll this time. I think Ez’rai growing up in such a harsh culture that didn’t have room for soft romance will go together in such a fun and cute way with Wyll. A noble’s son who is just so sweet and romantic and good.
