Ya boi is now flying solo in the new job, no more supervision.

Scary but rewarding when I realise I can do something by myself:333

The team are all so nice as well I'm so happy

was working on my campaign setting's cosmology the other day and @ladyoflore.seeks.quest was helping me lay out and name the various planes of existence!

there's a lot of planescape and forgotten realms influence, but I feel like I've managed to put an interesting spin on the whole thing!

my whole campaign revolves around the fact that the planes of existence are collapsing in on themselves, so I'm working more on my "Planar Collapse" table that is rolled randomly during combat.

Sometimes creatures from other planes invade, or the environment shifts to that of another plane

currently going old-school with this session/ arc prep and it feels like a good ol' prewritten module hehe

definitely getting back in my vibe for prep, it's amazing what a bit of free time does for your DM brain!

my character in the saturday campaign is a prejudiced, alcoholic mess who has fallen in love with the princess he is sworn to protect

i love flawed characters sm

just finished murtagh!

what a story. murtagh is definitely one of (if not my absolute) fave characters in the whole series.

him and thorn dealing with their trauma and having to face and overcome their greatest fears was so emotional.

highly recommend the inheritence cycle for all fantasy fans!

what else is there to do when crying in the bathroom for hours except write some kind of dastardly scheme?

currently having a go at a reputation system for my party since they're becoming so politically influential!

it's got info on what each faction's opinion on the party is, as well as what they are willing to sell/ give to them.

it gives the players an idea of where they stand in the world!
