New better education template just dropped. I can't imagine how much anxiety that must alleviate for so, so many. Kudos to the prof.
my prof just explained on the syllabus that he’s included more pionts in the class than we needed to pass, so we could skip up like?? 20 small assignments/quizzes/participation!! and still get a very high grade!!
the idea was that we could focus on assignments that played to our strengths - only do the participation stuff if we like to talk out loud - only do the quizzes/readings if we want to do the class remotely - only do online discussions if we like to talk and share opinions but struggle with anxiety in class ect.
and that’s cool enough but then he pulled up DnD character sheets with drawings he’d done of these hypothetical student player classes and how our various accessibility needs could be gamified to ‘max out’ different aspects of the class to get high grades and like!!!!!
hell yeah!!!! let’s treat accessibility in higher education not just as a necessity but as the fun, engaging, and creative aspect of learning that it is!!! I love this!!

started playing bg3. extremely funny listening to wyll talk about what an evil and ruthless killer who kicks puppies karlach is, when every piece of fanart i've seen of her so far has basically depicted her as the biggest golden retriever woman.

So when the party started I had to explain to the barbarian that no, being an edgelord did not in fact make their character immune to fear effects. It’s a status condition, if she’s never been scared before congrats she is now and that’s probably worse
We’ve had a couple more run ins of her deciding no, she’s a super tough barbarian, she’s not freaked out by my creepy changeling twins
(They said the words “she’s probably seen similar” and I have been bugging them to make more creepy background characters ever since we’re having a ball)
And yes, this is the same player who will not speak to Lord and Lady Nichmar unless they are safely hidden behind a pillow 😇
The party don’t even know what these two are yet and frankly all their guesses are much tamer than what I actually did but they have no way to know that
I found their missing ingredient and apparently it was top energy

My DnD/Pathfinder character Raphaël. Which was also my Tav in Baldur's Gate 3 minus the fur. And oh what a great moment to meet a Devil with his exact same name. I audibly gasped, it was a pure coincidence :')

My new DnD character!!!! I'm usually the forever DM so I'm excited to play this time hehe
His name is Finnegan Fletcher, he's a half-elf rogue with mysterious past. I wanted to try playing a very stereotypical gentleman thief archetype character

i love characters with prominent noses. the only reason i’ve ever given a character a small nose is to fulfill a diversity quota

Last time I played dnd we rolled d20 and d100 on the random encounter table and ended the session there, bc it was late already and our dm wanted to give us some time to think if we'd rather take the d99 encounter instead. Ngl I was scared, but also curious to see what the most extreme encounter would be, which we settled on, since it felt good to follow the dice rolls.
This coincided nicely with the holidays, since our dm came to Finland and we could have our first live session ever! (for this campaign, with everyone present, I was traveling last time he came to visit). I haven't seen him in over a year, and I've never met two of the other players so that was super fun!
As for the game, our dm gives us recap rewards and allowed me to decide or roll on a scale from 1-4 how difficult the encounters would be, with the rewards matching the difficulty level. I ended up rolling for it, and we got a 4, the highest possible outcome yet again!
In game, we weren't met with a sudden death, but terrifying situations that kept escalating. First we met a lich candidate with an air elemental and some zombies under his control. Instead of attacking, he wanted to bring us to his master, the King of Thunder, who needed us as "instruments". We followed, since we weren't sure "no" would be an option (and were curious to see what he wanted with us) and were asked to retrieve some of his students from one of the most dangerous places on the island we're stuck on due to a curse. We had to go through a portal to get there and weren't allowed to return without them.
The portal lead to the caldera (which we were traveling to anyway), where we first met some magma mephits and a molten magma roper. Although our dm kindly let us know it was a deadly encounter, we had good strats to deal with them and I wasn't too worried. Every time the roper grabbed one of us, our wildfire druid was able to use their wildfire spirit to teleport us back to safety. I dealt a good amount of damage with a bunch of fun extra dice and modifiers the warlock gets, while our sorcerer and artificer helped out here and there wherever necessary and did really well too. Another fun moment in the fight was when I addressed some pirates that attempted to sit out the fight, urging them to join and rolled a nat20 to actually make them do so. At this point in the session, I was mostly concerned over our resource management.
The druid used a bat to scout ahead and we spotted the students we came after down a chasm with lava all around. They let us know they couldn't move thanks to some monster keeping an eye on them, and while we were talking about what to do, we had to roll for another encounter. This time there was some illusion magic at play, that created a double of our sorcerer, and when I touched her, I was embraced by a sorrowsworn that started to drag me to throw us both down the cliff we were standing on. There was nothing I could do, I failed my throws, and our dm had me falling down with everyone being surprised and unable to do anything. That was until we realised the druid did get an attack of opportunity and backtracked a little. Luckily they had the warcaster feat, but even with that, the options weren't great. The only thing that seemed possible to use was thorn whip, but it has usually failed for them, so they assumed it wouldn't work yet again. The gods were on our side today though, because they rolled a nat20 and I was saved. Well, the sorrowsworn attacked me again and I fell unconscious without being able to do anything, but our druid was a real mvp in this fight and cast plant growth (on moss!) to slow them down and teleport me away once again. Our artificer got me up with a healing potion and I got my revenge by casting repelling blast and throwing the sorrowsworn off the cliff alone.
We skipped out on exploring and looting the place beyond what the bat did, to save the students before running out of all our resources to more encounters and possible traps, and had a great idea of using leomund's tiny hut as a safe base. It worked, but not as well as we thought it would. We were safe inside, and popped in and out to throw some ranged attacks against the monster that turned out to be a tlexolotl. Then we realised I couldn't do that as the caster or the spell would end. Meanwhile, the tlexolotl crushed the ground around us, so no one could get out anymore and if we'd try, we'd fall into lava and our instant death. Luckily our sorcerer could twin fly on her and the artificer and they got some attacks in, while retaining the hut as a safe base. The druid had summoned two eagles for transportation purposes, that they tried to keep away from the fight since we needed them to get back up again, but decided to let them attack and we saw how much damage the tlexolotl was able to do. It would've oneshotted me if I was in range and failed my throws.
In the end, I think our dm got soft on us/our druid specifically (or possibly worried about the fight dragging out too much and it getting late), bc she had some plans that seemed difficult to pull off that she was asking him about (and an early morning tomorrow), and he announced that the tlexolotl got annoyed at went away for a bit (instead of escaping due to how hurt it got which was our initial goal), which allowed us to escape.
The npc's were in a rush to go through the portal, and we didn't want to stay behind. On our way back we met the pirates again who looted the whole place we had cleared up, so we barely got any treasure ourselves, which this place apparently was full with :/
But we did survive. And we got tons of xp.
It was super fun, although last time we exited a deadly dungeon we were robbed right afterwards, so I'm still worried about what the King of Thunder will do next and how we'll get back on our mission to steal some logbooks from a black dragon we probably also gotta fight, which may or may not be that bad after all of this.

i'm a sucker for hellriders!

Cecil Steelhammer, on duty.
Cecil, being a Hellrider, used to patrol streets of Elturel on horseback together with a deputy partner. I imagine he was something like a second lieutenant, higher than a private, but not that higher.
Cecil became a Hellrider at the age of 18, and he was 29 in 1492 DR, when Elturel fell.
P.S. Cecil became a fan-favourite here! Many thanks to everyone reblogging! Why do you all like him so much though? :’D
