#wolf 359 ttrpg

[wwpbviiid]

Would anyone wanna hear about the wolf 359 ttrpg I’ve been playing lol

[mellifera38]

So this was a fun commission for @commsroom. It’s Doug Eiffel (Wolf 359) if he was a Bard (a la dnd or other rpgs), probably situated in a Spelljammer/ Wildspace type campaign. His design is based on a similar fanart I did of Mr. Eiffel here, except of course the pointed ears and clothing. He would be such a nightmare just imagine the shenanigans. This man would have a +5 charisma and still somehow have a -2 in deception checks.

Virtual Character Tourney Preliminaries!

While I get everything seeded, 5 preliminaries will take place, getting us the last 5 participants we need! Each contains 2 characters under the same IPs, with all fighting to secure spots representing them. Those preliminaries will all take place at 9/4/2023 (the laborest of days) starting at 10 EST, and will last a week.

As for the participants, they are...

Kaito vs. V Flower (Vocaloid)

SAYER vs. SPEAKER (SAYER)

Tentomon vs. Wizardmon (Digimon)

Eris vs. Enlil (Wolf 359)

Simulcast vs. Rhadamanthys (Reflection TTRPG)

So before we begin proper, let's get everything sorted out! Let's go!

[myxinidaes]

gnaws on wood thinking about wolf 359 hera. I love her so much did u know that. her character arc!! her growing autonomy and trust in her crew, her snarkiness, her relationships with Eiffel and Minkowski, her monologues, her glitchiness that's her!!!! she's a person and she fucking knows it! she teehee tries to kill her crew sometimes as a way of rebelling against her programming and exercising some modicum of control, she's an adult with four years of experience in this world, and two of them were a cube. and it shows! she's immature! she tries stopping the funerals of people she hates, she trusts anyone who seems to be an advocate for her (dont even get me STARTED on Maxwell and hera oh I get so sad!), she's petty and loves slacking off even when it puts her crew in danger

she *sobs* imagined herself sitting at her crew's table during thanksgiving.......

[transdimensional-haboob]

Wistfully thinks of Spellwind, I should make a headcanons up to ep 31 list its just my equivalent of like Skyrim or lotr where theres so much going on and so dense but god damn one of my favorite episodes was when two of my favorite characters became trees and the entire experience was like...they were tripping on shrooms but also one with the shrooms? Its like episode 8

and I love the dms orc captain that hates going on land and is there for the in between transportation from sea to sea land to land ferryman (not really I feel like its mostly hard to narrate and have a character at the same time) I just love captain buttocks' (yeah I'm pretty sure thats his name) humor and how him and djett ('jet') were closer in the beginning

I love ty and varsha together but I also ship smith with them as time went on, I can't tell who I want to joke as the third smith and varsha are friends to lovers, ty and varsha are irritated assholes to lovers, smith is just a jaded old fuck that loves his morons (he respects varsha a lot and thinks ty is an entertaining idiot)

Varsha and Djett are siblings they love each other like family and share different spells and potions and knowledge of interest notes

I feel like the only person really thinking too deeply about this tabletop story and wanted to drop a few lines of appreciation, I like listening to it to go to sleep since its so slow paced and gently spoken and the music and sound efx is so sweet

[dreamingdewdrops]

Yes, I know the last two are TECHNICALLY ttrpg, but I don't care 😁

[ashes-in-a-jar]

In my head, you’re a Magnus Archives blog. I mean, I know you obviously listen to other things, but In my mind it’s things like Welcome to Nightvale, Malevolent, Hello from the Hallowoods, The Sheridan Tapes, things like that, horror and supernatural.

So I had to do a double-take when I saw a Dungeons and Daddies post from you, I really didn’t know you listened to it. Then I see you reblog a Fawx and Stallion post, and now I’m just wondering how many podcasts you’ve listened to that I’ve also listened to.

Hahaha yes this blog has been mainly for tma stuff for years now, I still feel like I'm new to the fandom but honestly I've been here through a lot of it since the beginning of season 5

Buuuuut in the past few months I've stopped going into the tma tag regularly and been feeling a little detached from it, at least as opposed to before. My listen to tmagp has been way less interactive and I hardly reblog content anymore (which is something I like doing but because of various bad experiences on the internet recently I have yet to recover from I feel safer posting my own original posts rather than reblogging)

And that freed up a space in my mind to realize I've actually been listening to a lot of podcasts besides tma and it's honestly a shame not to talk about them more with others

I do listen to a lot of horror fantasy supernatural and science fiction podcasts! I also love a lot of dnd and ttrpg podcasts, I also love everything dropout and wish I could get into critical role but it's so big I don't think I'll manage it

I put under the cut a (quite long) list of the podcasts I have listened to and/or have notifications turned on

Anyone following me, you're welcome to send me an ask about one of them if you like them as well or want to hear about them!

I also put a list of podcasts on my to listen to list. Feel free to drop a recommendation for which them to listen to first!

Wolf 359 TTRPG session one recap! Putting under cut as it shall be long. A lot happened. (Includes spoilers for wolf 359)

(Context)

So season 1 is kinda difficult bc most of the situations Eiffel ends up in he puts himself in, so I have to move things around somewhat. I’ve decided to start on episode 3, giving Hart the goal of avoiding Hilbert’s physical exam.

First it said it was busy listening to static, and proceeded to ramble to Hilbert about how much it loved listening static— the different types of static, etc— until he went away.

When Hilbert came back, the player had the most Eiffel idea I’ve ever heard, and proceeded to tell Hilbert that “yeah I’m still busy, I know I should be done by now but I think I heard something? It was just for a second, I’m still trying to get back the signal, I don’t know.” He tried to get out of a medical exam by claiming he’d made first contact

This idea was so wonderful that I almost let it work, before I remembered that if Hilbert believed it he’d try to murder the entire crew, so I had Hilbert ask Hera and find out it was a lie.

(Between these interactions, Hart was having conversations with Minkowski that went basically the same way as in the episode, to the point where I managed to mostly just reuse her dialogue verbatim. This is the episode where the plant monster is introduced, if you don’t remember)

Then Hilbert came to the comms room and Hart said what he’d actually heard is the plant monster, and he needs to help Minkowski with that. Hilbert accepted this— Hart kept rolling super well, I don’t think it failed a single roll the entire session— and went away

Then on Minkowski’s insistence Hart went down to help her with the plant monster (unlike Eiffel, it listened to her and actually brought a flamethrower). She told it to help her kill it, the player reached for the dice and then went “wait what am I trying to do?”

To which I begrudgingly said “killing a plant monster?” Bc he had a flamethrower, he could do it. “I mean. If that’s what you’re trying to do. I don’t know, you tell me.”

It hesitated and then asked if it could try to talk to it first! Then after some very good dice rolls Hart befriended the plant monster, but convinced it to pretend to continue being aggressive to the crew so that the physical exams would be cancelled.

Blessie!!! He’s befriended Blessie! Blessie’s on their side now!!! (I’m not sure what this is gonna do to the significant amount of episodes in which the plant monster tries to kill them or whatnot)

So Hart succeeded in its goal. I had intended to also include the intro of the alien music, so I asked if Hart actually ended up listening to static today, but he said nah

“Haha, imagine if the one day I don’t is the day we would’ve made first contact,” he said, and I smiled knowingly, and proceeded to say the words “smiling knowingly” out loud bc he wasn’t picking up on my knowing smile.

[innbetween]

Welcome!

Inn Between is a fiction podcast! Also known as an audio drama! It’s a fantasy adventure between the adventures about five people who are varying degrees of terrible becoming:

Friends

Found family

Marginally-to-largely less terrible

Besties with a building.

Is Inn Between like the Magnus Archives or Wolf 359?

Insofar as it’s a full cast audio drama with no narrator, yes! In terms of subject matter or themes, not even a little!

I love D&D, Crit Role, and other ttrpg things, will I like Inn Between?

Friend, I made this show specifically for you!

Hey there are episodes missing! Stuff happens in the previously-on bit that doesn’t happen in the show!

Au contraire mon ami, the show only takes place in the confines of the inn—all the interstitial adventuring is subtext.

Do characters KISS

Nah, we’re more interested in found family and friendship than romance. Shipping is welcome (including queer-platonic headcanoning) but such things are not the point.

Where can I listen?

Anywhere you get your podcasts!

BRACKET REVEAL

Alright. At long last, I present to you the bracket...or should I say...*BRACKETS* for the Virtual Character Tournament!

Given the scale, the first round is going to be one bracket per week, 4 a day, with each lasting 24 hours. I know that this is still tight, but given how many contestants there are, along with the necessary inclusions of images and propaganda (oh and I guess also my job), it's what I can do to keep this semi-manageable. There's also no redemption round this time. It's gonna be a single elimination tournament. Be kind to your peers. This is not but a drop in the infinite ocean of the internet.

...oh yeah the brackets themselves. We'll be going in order over the course of 4 weeks. I'll make proper announcements for them as they commence. Given how many there are and what I want to get done beforehand, Bracket 1 will likely begin some time this week. But for the matchups...

[mymaleficaria]

mthedm ---> mymaleficaria

Hi gang! I've had this blog since high school, but somewhere in college it fell into disuse and disrepair. I've been itching to get back on here, as a space on the internet that's not...ya know *gestures at the Twitter-sized elephant in the room*. But I also wanted to go in with a fresh coat of paint and reintroduce myself to y'all, maybe even make some new friends (or enemies. That could be hot.) A lot has changed!

Wait, why do I follow you?

Statistically, you followed me because of Wolf 359! I was big into podcasts back in the day, WTNV, Wolf 359, all those. I also wrote some Wolf 359 fics and was semi-active on the discord. Still fondly remember the show and might reblog fanart once in awhile, but it's not the direction this blog's going to go, so feel free to unfollow if what up I'm to now isn't your jam.

What's this blog about now?

Wouldn't you like to know, weatherboy? Frankly, I'm ADHD as fuck, so that'll vary by the day, but I have a few fandoms (do we still say fandoms in the year of our lord 2023???) that I've been into lately.

Dimension 20: I started watching D20 a little less than a year ago, and it entirely took over my life. It's just a series that's so robustly funny, wonderfully told, and never fails to make me smile. I'm especially fond of ACOC and Fantasy High.

Dracula Daily: I'm in this shit for the long haul! I think Lucy and Mina should kiss, but that's neither here nor there.

Game of Thrones/HotD: This show ended in a trash fire, but it literally lives in my head rent free. The political intrigue, the drama. Ugh. I'm a targ girlie through and through, so I've been eating up HotD, though it's nowhere near as good imo. Am also currently reading the 1st ASOIAF book.

YA lit/Whatever I'm reading/watching: I've read almost 50 books this year so far, and am frankly, insane. Bonus points for queer reads! Not many people to talk about books to irl, so might ramble about them on here instead. Also watch a lot of random TV drama and some anime.

Writing: I'm a fanfic writer, and a fiction writer in general, so I'll post stuff about writing--complaints, story snippets, link to my fics, etc! Headcanons and all will be found here. I've also copyedited before, which is like writing but if you get even more nitpicky about it.

Personal/Whatever the hell I feel like/My D&D Games: Life happens and sometimes you want to scream into the void. Ramblings, jokes, whatever. I transed my gender in the past few years and sometimes I'm mad about it! I also just graduated college! Madness! I play a lot of TTRPGs, and I'm usually on brainrot for one of my characters at any given time.

Why's your new username that?

One of my favorite book series is The Scholomance by Naomi Novik, and in the series, Maleficaria are the horrifying monsters that threaten to kill the students every day, and what is tumblr if not a place full of vile, evil beings? Plus, it means you all can call me Mal.

Anything else?

Nope! Other than to feel free to drop me a line and say hello, especially if you want to scream about D20. I'm p alone in this brainrot irl, so I'm pretty much always down to talk about the Bad Kids... especially Adaine and Fabian. I'm also always down to take fic suggestions in my asks! This show genuinely lifts me up when I'm down, so sharing it with people is one of my favorite things.

My fics (shortlist):

In Sweetness, There is Violence: Angsty ACOC one-shot about if Ruby had made a different choice in the finale. Obligatory Caramelinda Caramelinda-ing.

the words i speak are wildfires: A HOTD one-shot I intended to be smut, that ended up instead being more like a romantic sapphic moment of healing between Alicent and Rhaenyra. What can I say? I like childhood friends to enemies to lovers.

Stay Stellar: An unfinished (and, very likely, discontinued) 15-chapter high school AU for Wolf 359 that I wrote with an old friend. Featuring some truly crazy shenanigans, a lot of embarrassing Kepcobi moments, and a surprising amount of theatre.

Characters: Seven of Nine, Liam Shaw, OC (mentioned)

Pairing: Liam Shaw x OC (gn)

Transfer of Command

Captain Shaw, most recently of the USS Titan, sat up in the bio-bed of what had been his ship. He had no regrets giving Seven the field commission and transferring the ship to her. Not that he could have made the computer recognize the transfer at the time. Fucking Borg bullshit. But that, he realized when he thought he'd die, no longer meant *former* Borg. It certainly hadn't meant the literal (to him) children on his ship. Still. No regrets.

"Sir," Seven's voice yanked him out of contemplation. "I'm glad to see you're awake and doing," she hesitated, "Better."

He had a suspicion what she was here to do. "Don't "

"Sir?"

"The ship. You're her captain more than I ever was" he said matter of fact. "Don't you dare give her back Captain Seven of Nine." He used her name to her face for the second time in their years together on the Titan. "She was always yours."

"Sir I don't understand. Protocol-"

Raising a hand he stopped her, "Can't believe I'm about to say this but, fuck protocol." A long and strangely uncomfortable silence stretched between them. "Do you know how I met my spouse?"

Seven shook her head. It was clear from her furrowed brow and pinched lips she didn't understand the relevance. Every one knew that Captain Shaw was married even if he didn't wear a ring, his spouse hadn't believed in them he said. Wasn't a part of their culture.

Clearing his throat he explained, "I'll give you the short version since they're en route via shuttle with the kids, who I understand very much need hugs from their father. Anyway," he got on with it, "Commander Taris, then a freshly minted by all of an hour lieutenant, was on the ship that rescued my life pod at Wolf 359. I met them a handful of times when the fleet limped back to earth after that fight. Including when one of my Vulcan crew mates decided to pick a fight with Star Fleet's only Romulan crewman. They were nothing but polite and Vash didn't swing first but they sure as hell put Ensign An'ris on his ass and refused to press any of charges. Trauma, they said would do that. They understood. Turns out I'd developed an infatuation with a Junior Counselor as a result - and no, I wasn't one of her patients. Well, three duty stations, a lot of dating both in person and long distance and a couple promotions later and I proposed. We have three little pointy eared angels who every day I have to remind are loved and perfect as they are. Why? Because people still treat my spouse like they are the enemy despite the fact that they have literally bled for both the Federation and Earth. My kids see the toll it's taken on their parents. So what I'm saying, Seven, is that I should have carried forward what Vashti and those kids teach me every day in how I treated you and the other former Borg. I'm sorry and you deserved better," Begrudgingly he added, "Picard too; though my issues with him and Riker extend beyond the Borg shit."

The former Borg swallowed, blinking at him confused. "Sir? I...um...thank you," she arrived at those two words carefully.

He cleared his throat and spoke again, "So, let's make this official," he clapped his hands together, rubbing them, "Computer, transfer command to Captain Seven of Nine. Authorization Code Shaw 12-11- Bravo-Delta."

---

Notes: Commander Vashti "Vash" Taris is a Romulan defector who joined Starfleet before/early in TNG. They would be approximately the same age as Captain Shaw. The one in this story is based on my PC for the Star Trek TTRPG that made it exactly one session. (RIP) That story/game was meant to take place during the Dominion War; I figured they'd have had the personality that could handle Shaw's and having a Romulan partner plus some half-Romulan kiddos made sense. After all, I bet money a Romulan would be treated at least as strangely if not outright poorly compared to Worf during TNG/DS9/VOY.

[whales-are-gay]

Hello listeners

Good morning, i'm GrapeSoda but you can call me just Grape or Soda and welcome to my radio

This blog will be mostly reblogs of things i like and occasionally me talking about my life and project.

I'm a writer (or trying to be one), and the project i'm currently writing and worldbuilding is called The Rain Doesn't Cease (A Chuva Não Passa in pt-br) and is a queer horror podcast about death, identity and family. The project does not have a release date and because i'm a minor it will probably take 2-3 years for it to come to life, but i will keep working and posting about it.

I sometimes write poetry and some fanfics, but because of school i don't have time anymore so you will not see much of that in here.

Some of my interests are: queer podcasts/audio dramas, Will Wood, Fantasy High and TTRPG in general, queer books, greek mythology, Life is Strange, tf2, spiders and other things that i probably forgot

Podcasts i'm currently listening to: TMAGP, Camp Here & There (almost finished), Hello from the Hallowoods, Malevolent, Welcome to Night Vale

Podcasts i'm planning to listen to: Wolf 359, Old Gods of Appalachia, The Silt Verses, Spirit Box Radio, The Penumbra Podcast, Midnight Burger, Desert Skies, Red Valley

If you have some indications tell me and i add to the list
