*context: Torbek’s nose has turned into a penis, and Frost believes he is a vampire*
Torbek: Ribble stepped on Ribble’s nose
Frost: Here, Ribble, going going to trip on that. Let me hold that for you
#DEREK#Derek what the fuck#I love this#this episode and the previous one has reminded me why I started rewatching the series#because I missed the physical comedy the first time#and well. Derek does a lot of physical comedy in this campaign lmao#derek when i catch you derek#also don’t think I’m just ignoring the fact that frost is technically carrying Torbek’s penis#legends of avantris#once upon a witchlight#ouaw#torbek#morning frost

Roshan walks with the two Potts, gazing around at the fields and forests painted in warm colors by the setting sun. He remarks, "It is a lovely view from here."
Gazing outward, past the broken walls he had put up 20 years ago, Arthund nods and says, "Forgot. Forgot how... how pretty it all is."
I recently finished running an original oneshot for some friends, The Reaching Woods. It was a story about a little village surrounded by a big wall and the nearby forest's sudden overgrowth threatening to crush it all. It was also a story about blame and guilt.
Arthund Potts, when we met him, could barely speak at all. Too many years spent drinking and weeping. If he was even conscious he was all grunts and sloppy gestures. The scene above was at the end of the oneshot (okay, eighteenshot), once the party returned from the dark, evil woods.
#dungeons and dragons#dnd#dnd art#dnd character#not my character#roshan#aasimar#oneshot#the reaching woods#my first time DMing!#i couldn't find anything i wanted to run so i just made something up#oneshot starting with the saddest little village with the three saddest old people (and an old dog) around#started with my love of the “little village with a big secret” setup#almost certain it started with the general Feeling of that little village in An American Werewolf in London#nothing else in common but i just love that vibe you know#anyway#the joke with this campaign was it was going to end with The Greatest Fire Known to Faerun#and if they DID burn the evil woods down that I would then make them play a party of fire investigators trying to find out what happened LO#and it did end with a fire#but fortunately it did not spread throughout the forest#oh yeah there was also a sacrifice-happy cannibalistic frog kingdom#ANYWAY...#good job party#roshan's an aasimar btw#he's got this aureola around his head#imagine your little village being saved by an angel...................#though there was a tiefling in the party too so they canceled each other out#anyway....#this scene felt so emotionally satisfying

You know, as excited as I am about Sam’s new Horny Minotaur, I think it actually made me realise that…. FCG really isn’t coming back. Like I knew what had happened but I think subconsciously I was still waiting for them to return when Sam did, and now I Know we really aren’t going to see that lil robit again, watch them eat random pieces of rare metals or hear them try to give marriage counselling to strangers… I don’t know, it’s just sad. Anyway, I hope everyone has a smiley day 💛
#critical role#FCG#critical role spoilers#cr3#also I think it hits harder bc this is my first campaign and first met Sam as FCG#of course I’ve now started mighty nein and seen him play other characters along the way but#Sam is just FCG to me at the heart of it and it’s weird to know he won’t play them again

updated book tally:
9 copy/paste rejections
1 extremely helpful and kind rejection
32 unknowns (either haven’t gotten to my query yet, or are too busy to even send a copy/paste rejection)
91 people left who haven’t been queried but match my specificaions because if there’s anything that autism is good for, it’s for obsessive research and list-making
#this is so funny bc it's exactly what I did when I first started illustration#I used to do yearly postcard campaigns where I'd send out HUNDREDS of hand-printed hand-written cards#and I guarantee the vast majority just ended up in trash bins#but it's how I got the field museum gig! and my childrens book jobs!

"How do you know Predathos will stop at the gods?" Thank you Fearne!! That's what I've been thinking this whole time, he's not gonna stop at the gods! Next is going to be the high priests, and then the regular priests, then the everyday followers. It's gonna go on and on and in until there's nobody and nothing left.
#i only really just started actively watching this campaign after they all got separated on the solstice#so maybe this is something theyve talked about before idk#it just feels like this is the first time somebody has actually said it#critical role#critical role spoilers#critical role campaign 3#bells hells#predathos

Now that I've caught up on Riptide I finally decided to watch the few other campaign episodes on YouTube
And I started with The Suckening
And I am already so unbelievably attached to these characters you have no idea
Like
I'm almost done with the fifth episode and I KNOW that I'm going to need to see the rest of this campaign
#First the pirates#And now I'm attached to the vampires#Surely I wouldn't get attached to any other characters/campaigns :)#(I say knowing that I was doomed from the start)#jrwi#jrwi show#jrwi podcast#just roll with it#jrwi the suckening#jrwi riptide

bashing my fucking adhd riddled head against the wall because i need to fuckin prep this character sheet for tomorrow but executive disfunction is leading into actual dissociation and i just wanna give up. like goddamn i dont wanna play 5e with this dm we're just NOT vibing as people. ugh. thank god for conflicting schedules. just gotta get through tomorrow
#our t#i just wanna focus on the campaigns that actually MATTER to me but this 5e one demands. so fuckin much#theres so much shit to keep track of and its really overwhelming#and the dm didnt lead us in properly at all#we're joining in on a campaign thats already been running for a while and they under the banner of 'being cautious of spoilers'#gave us ABSOLUTELY ZERO CONTEXT for their custom worldstate or their very involved custom lore#OR what happened in the campaign previously w/ the other characters WHICH IS YKNOW THE MOST IMPORTANT THING#so we are literally floundering and i simply dont care enough about this dm (who is virtually a stranger to me) to use my spoons on this#its distracting me from stuff i need and want and would rather otherwise be doing ttrpg ways. idk sorry im just#really fuckin disabled and feeling frustrated about it#'5e is beginner friendly!' liarrrr you are a liarrrr you lied to meee playing 5e for the first time as a pre-leveled LVL6 character#is ADVANCED SHIT and with my learning disability? very literally nearly impossible#if i end up crying at table then i end up crying at table idc idc it'll get me outta the situation#maybe i should just start screaming IM GOING INTO LABOUR#sometimes you gotta ask urself what would jake english do and then seriously consider doing it

god i finally watched new episodes my honest reaction is jgiwoaoKzmxmkwkakkak
#it kinda doesnt feel real for me idk why#like i do not actually process all of it??#tho I DO have ideas and thinking i did pay attention#maybe i've just had a wild day i guess#but also oh god vex'ahlia broke my heart#twice#first time were when scanlan was talking how he couldn't be at two places at the same time to help 'em and she said nobody gives a fuck#i feel so bad for scanlan rn i love him#haven't watched campaing to the bard's lament yet but oh fuck im too spoiled i do know what happens where (a little bit)#the second time was when she said she really cares for percy i started crying at that moment#also im a lil bit disappointed cuz i thought we would get percys death and vex's spech but we got “i open the door completly naked” scene ->#and im very happy we got it like oh wow i didn't expect that#but idk im just a girl and i love percahlia's slowburn#since i watched 64 eps of actual campaign it become hard for me to not compare campaign and tlovm cuz obviosly its very different#but with percahlia in tlovm we don't have hours and hours of campaign context#(we don't have percy making her arrows)#and i understand why cuz 100+ streams 3+ hours each is one thing and animated series with 12 eps of 25 minutes is another#but as i said previosly it is very hard for me to not compare it#by the way i do think changes in tlovm make sense#cuz like?? i think vex is more sharpy in tlovm than in campaign?? like#like she punced scanlan in first season and in campaign they are kinda good friends and i really love them??#*punched#and i think she's more ?? bossy i guess?? idk how to put it into words but in my head it makes sense “i open the door completly naked” ->#goes earlier than “i shouldve told you its yours” cuz shes playing pretend even more than in campaign???#acts like its casual when its actually isnt AT ALL#and im glad percy said “what is it i want” to vex cuz its kinda like that scene in campaign when percy talked to vax#when he called them all family for the first time and said he's trying to find what he wants in life#i love percy and vax dynamic btw#i wanted to write even more here but apparently i can do only 30 tags wtf#they want me to actually write posts oh no. hate to put it all in tags but im too nervous abt posting on the internet

SUPREMELY frustrating that we found something actually really cool and intriguing and plot relevant in tonight's session but I'm still so constantly preoccupied with whether the DM is going to 100% kill us with sheer poor game design that I barely have enough brainspace left over to even enjoy it
#the first half of the session was a random-off-a-rolltable encounter that had nothing to do with anything and gave us literally nothing#and used up all our resources and took a REALLY long time because it was-- you guessed it! another deadly encounter for some reason!!#that's 100% of the encounters we've had so far!#and EXPLICITLY not related to what we were trying to investigate AND creatures that drop neither loot NOR BODIES#(two wil o the wisps and a water wierd)#we did a lot better in this encounter but it WAS deadly going off CR#and the point is now we've done just a short rest and THEN found the Plot Thing-- which our bard used up a bunch of resources to access#SO NOW IT'S LIKE. OKAY LOOK. I WANNA PLAY IN THIS SPACE BUT YOU KEEP TRYING TO KILL US WITH THINGS THAT AREN'T EVEN IMPORTANT#ARE YOU ABOUT TO WHOOPSIE-DOODLE US INTO A TPK ON ACCIDENT HERE???#like... it FEELS dangerous and A Bad Idea to engage with in a way that paradoxically SHOULD mean it's safer in a game like this#like-- okay if this was ACTUALLY as dangerous as it feels we wouldn't BE here on session six. does that make sense?#like when justin had us encounter a lich at level two in session three and I was immediately like OH okay he must have a plan here.#clearly some Scripted Plot is going to happen because there's no other reason he would put us up against a lich three sessions in. you know?#we started dying immediately and I was not afraid at all as a player because I trust justin wouldn't do that for no reason#or be so stupid to have that happen accidentally#THIS CAMPAIGN HOWEVER.... I DON'T TRUST LIKE THAT!!!#ARE WE GONNA FOR REAL PERMADIE BECAUSE YOU WASTED ALL OF OUR RESOURCES ON A RANDOM ENCOUNTER FIRST AND YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT#ARE WE GONNA FOR REAL PERMADIE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T REALIZE WE COULD USE THE ITEM YOU GAVE US TO OPEN THIS DOOR WITH A 5TH LEVEL SPELL#I WANNA PLAY IN THE SPACE BUT IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THERE'S ROOM FOR RISKTAKING WHERE THE BAD OUTCOMES WOULDN'T BE UNFUN CATASTROPHIC#AAAAUUUUGHHH#[shaking him violently] what do you mean that random encounter was a deadly encounter again what do you MEEEAAN#'oh huh this fight's taking longer than I thought' THEIR AC IS 19 AND THEY'RE RESISTANT TO NONMAGIC DAMAGE??#THE WATER WIERD KEEPS DISAPPEARING BACK INTO THE POND WHERE IT'S INVISIBLE??? MY BROTHER IN CHRIST HOW DID YOU EXPECT US TO DO IT FAST#hhhhhHHHH!!!!#I SHOULD BE THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT HOW COOL THE SECOND HALF OF THE SESSION GENUINELY WAS BUT I'M TOO STRESSED TO HAVE FUN#cannot stress enough that I'm in a million campaigns and I never have this problem with other DMs or with Highly Dangerous DnD Situations#melliwyk's party are in mortal peril constantly and it's... reaching a point where it's tiresome for how badly it's wearing on the PCs#but it rarely feels unfun stressful as a player playing a game#I never feel like the DM is about to accidentally end the whole campaign by bumblefucking us into a TPK at random#you know? it's different. this just feels unmanageable

[Saint Barbarian Rollo Enters The Fight]
oh yeah normal church occurance dw about it
#my art#pirate campaign#Ulysees (OC)#Abaddon Diallos#Enososin Folook#Saint Rollo#pov I walk into my dad’s room and am basically watching him transform from a Level 20 Paladin/Cleric to a Level 20 Barbarian#and then he breaks the fucking church’s ceiling like he’s the kool-aid man about 10 minutes later#(sorry to Saint Celestine for causing him to start spam clicking skip dialogue options to get from up in the astronomy tower to Eno ahshd)#I’m still calling him Saint Rollo bc that’s who he is at heart; no matter the transformation. It's just being expressed rather differently#like how Michael from The Dresden Files is called "The Fist of God''? yeah. Rollo.#I love him. So utterly. I’m going to make our DM rue the day they gave me a fictional father figure who didn’t die/disappear#also; we haven't met Ares in this campaign yet but in that moment..... hi. I Felt like I was seeing him#edit; WHICH IS REAL FUNNY CONSIDERING I WROTE THAT TAG WHEN I FIRST STARTED THIS POST AS A DRAFT AND NOW ARES IS IN THE LORE CHANNEL HEEYYY#Soleil (OC)#Pepper Kochavi#Janglin (OC)#rea rambles in the tags#rea’s trash

i know that when carlo suddenly decided that he needs to marry guy made a whole list in his head n like had a deadlines n shit. like it was some kind of a task he needed to do
#whole fkin campaign. idk still not sure how it was but man was in his peacock era for sure#n it's like i need to find a wife i need to make it in 2 (or whatever) months etc etc#but its like a bg task n he didn't speak bout it w others. like he just said that he needs to marry#also idk if i mentioned this but i wrote lauretta/carlo first meet long ago n she was w her fiance#i just listened to “pretty music” again sorry. i like that uh governor or tf this character is#changes his behaviour from one woman to another so real. n that fkin “but im a lucky guy who gets to dance w u”#and “since u know what i need i'll even take your lead” <- fr like im sure lauretta screwed him for several times#just to see if he's really serious good old manipulations w men nothing new nothing superstitious#upd. he probably made a mind budget for this (i mean finding a wife)#n bout lauretta screwing carlo its like in this ukranian song Ти ж мене пiдманула ти ж мене пiдвела#but since he's a strategist he's patient (like i wanted to accent this quality sm i wrote#that carlo started thinkin bout taking moretti's place back in 1932)#anyway. “Challenge accepted” situation and idk fr for some reason when it's carlo eddie lauretta it's always bout playing#so lauretta started playing n he entered this play too. i don't even think he was exactly mad (maybe only for the 1st time)#at this point i have a clear image of how they met n their first dates (cringe word) n how he proposed#ie how it started how it ended. ending was fast i believe (deadline is approaching 🤯)#what was in between i don't exactly know but i wondered just now if he also screwed lauretta (i think yes)#bc i don't knooowwww frrr all this is so bout playing to me#but bout ending its like. boss fight (<- sex) game credits (<- marriage) ((speedrun))#also i was thinkin if he even ever met lauretta's parents (i always thought that no but idk)#can imagine lauretta calling carlo a good friend. i also hm ok#i started to write a comic like a month ago just bout falcone polycule n it starts w#carlo who says that he finally needs to get married n lauretta's mother askin (in a pushing way) why#her n her fiance still aren't married like girl tf. she jinxed it i guess#upd. carlo/lauretta is funny in my head bc right before marriage he did fell in love lauretta didn't but guy's profitable we'll take him👍#she did only after marriage i think bc it was the time when u can finally relief bc it's over#u don't need to think bout no yes no no yes yes will it work or won't etc#woman was able to fucking chill at last. she got the money sorry i mean the man#he's not runnin away let's finally look who the fuck is even this man. why he won't shut up bout astronomy can i get a divorce <- jk#but yeah “я тобi брехала” is so lauretta right after marriage to me (“i dont even know the color of ur hair”)
