The moral of this thread is if you find yourself burnt out playing smart characters, take a break to play one who is just bonkers

@kingmerryweather.bsky.social helped me translate Foxglove's skillset and vibe to work within the world we play in, and in this iteration they're a Warlock

I'm super happy with the updates I've made to their lore (and their design) and even happier with how they fit into the current party

Which brings us to this Summer, where I started reimagining Foxglove yet again as a back-up for my Monday night D&D game.

When I realised I wasn't enjoying my current character as much anymore, my DM suggested we swap her out for Foxglove, even if just temporarily

And I'm so glad we did

I played this version of Foxglove once in a session of a friend's home game when I visited for a weekend. It was essentially a one shot for me, and I treated it as such!

I found the Wild Oracle class a tad too unpredictable for my tastes, but I loved using the cards in session

Then in March 2022 I discovered the Adventurer's Tarot deck by Weird Works and decided to reimagine Emery as the custom Wild Oracle Class. Foxglove got a slight name change, new pronouns, and a new vibe that came with additional lore

Foxglove is a character that has existed in some form or another for five years

Their first iteration was as "Emery 'Fox' Foxglove" in August 2020, a halfling druid concept who didn't have much to her character except a colour scheme and a vibe
