Alto's vampire love interest was kidnapped by Strahd last session and our party's paladin agreed to help rescue him because he's been "a boon" to us... Alto was not happy with the comment.

Botanic garden ghoul today 🌿 Lady on the bus said I looked like a fairy which is maybe the best compliment ever.

A little FUNERAL SONG snippet for Valentine's Day! It's a book about grief, which means it's really a book about love. 🖤 Hopefully I'll have more to share soon!
#horror #writingcommunity #FuneralSong
A snippet of Carly Racklin's forthcoming novella FUNERAL SONG, pasted over a black and white painting of a winter scene. The excerpt reads: "A slurry of dissonant emotions rioted in Friede's chest. At the center, a stone weight of truth: I loved you. I loved you. I love you, and you killed me, and look what's become of us."

A small happy moment from last session in Curse of Strahd: Alto giving his fellow party member Honey Bear a piggyback ride since she is a gnome and had trouble keeping up with the party as we scurried across town. #dnd

Some practice drawing Alto in a more realistic style! He almost got killed by a vampire last session in Curse of Strahd but he’s doing okay all things considered. Totally gonna draw him bloody and scared next though 😌✨ #art #illustration #dnd #curseofstrahd #dndcharacter

Time to christen this account with some #dnd posting... this is my trickery cleric Alto I'm currently playing in a Curse of Strahd campaign! He is so much fun. Recently he got to cast guiding bolt via finger guns and killed a demon ⚡️✨
Digital art of Alto, a dnd character, a bluish-skinned, heavyset masculine person doing finger guns, with bright light beaming from his hand. He wears a necklace of a coin that is also glowing. His hair is long and curly in shades of gray, billowing around his shoulders.
