How much BOTW have you played? Have you been playing it a lot recently?

the video game or our BOTW tabletop homebrew?

video game, idk! i feel like a lot and not at the same time. the person i bought our switch from put like 300 hrs or something into it (which now it shows his and my hours combined and makes it seem like a ridiculous amount) which is wild and we still have ganon and a couple dlc quests to go.

but i'm learning a lot of zelda lore and stuff i never got as a kid! (we were a strictly playstation and original gameboy house) we recently beat twilight princess which was really fun and cool even if i found the wii controls cumbersome. loved it! and we're working on link's awakening on switch.

for our botw campaign, we try to play once a week (though even if you all live in the same house it's still hard sometimes to make that happen). we've been going for a year and a half and have 50+ sessions recorded! @zenrawings is an amazing gm and i think it's funny that we didn't really enjoy dnd together until we learned that fjord prefers gming and i would much MUCH rather be playing a character.

i've done that all with my character, syxmet. a zora with a storied past that's a fighter class who recently multiclassed as a barbarian--a development that might have some ties with Demise, yuh-oh.

but this last weekend we went camping and played a lot of botw for a shorter campaign. i played the sheikah warforged, e.k.o., whom i can now talk about since secrets have been revealed in gameplay. her pronouns are she/her but she didn't know that at the start because she was literally made like a month ago. she's baby! her class is also druid, but with some techno warforged twists on them (i.e. the druid feat wild shape means she turns into a different animal, but like Transformers style and less magical and she weighs the same through transformations. also her connection to nature is actually a connection to the sheikah network and she was originally created to help uncover sheikah towers).

also sometime i'm gonna make a version of autumn as a gerudo, but officially roll her out.

it's been fun learning about this cultural icon of a franchise through the older games and through our tabletop. i really see why people love it and i enjoy the hell out of it.

ask @zenrawings about their campaigns or intensive lore/headcanons with loz, or @is-mise-ivory about their ocs burr or acanthis that have been my ocs' wonderfulpartners in crime throughout this, if you want to know more!
