#dnd story

Ever wanted to know how we develop our characters? Take a look at these early drawings of Cordelia from Courting the Crown. Our original concept was to make her an old male wizard, but as the story developed, we decided that making her a young woman gave her more agency, and opened up more possibilities for her in both Courting the Crown and future stories. What do you think? Did we make the right choice?

Being a DM is so funny, especially one that improvs 90% of the campaign, because my players built a conspiracy wall surrounding the overarching plot, and I don’t even remember saying half the stuff they put up on this wall. But then they look at me like lost puppies and I just smile and throw my thumbs up like “hey yeah, good job sport!” then turn and rapidly wonder when I even unintentionally foreshadowed big bad evil guy in game. Like they were saying “this was a genius use a foreshadowing in the way of using the title of this loose book - of which I definitely made up on the spot - to hint at our future villains!” And I just have to sit there sweating bullets like “haha yeah, man that’s good. Yep. Totally meant that.”

Examples: I mentioned off hand that the god of the void/nothing in my world is like a black hole, as like a cool world building fact, and they connected this small cool fact to like half the campaign. Cool stuff, but like???? I just like blackholes????

Sometimes when I’m sad I remember that my Lizardfolk Fighter, Monk, had a meltdown while Victor Frankenstein and edgy!rogue^TM were being arrested by the police and after we defeated them, we stuffed their bodies in a hat, went to Arby’s, ate a sandwich, had another meltdown, and finally ended up at ripoff Chuck-E-Cheese where the mascot was one long furby.

I plan to clean this up but I’m so excited about how my last dnd game went down I really wanted to share! Things got a little spicy XD I guess Lucéena has a girlfriend now? More under the cut!

I’ll definitely share more once I finish the pic but, to summarize, recently my group went on a little break. Right before we left off tho, Blue, the beloved npc and childhood friend of Echo, had been abducted by her and Echo’s old slave master and we set out to get her back and kick the guy’s butt. We planned to split up to cause a distraction while some of our more quiet party members snuck around to find Blue but we ended up converging in the back of his home with no idea where she could be.

We ended up finding Blue tied up in the gardens w their old master and a fight broke out. It was rough, easily the most insane battle we’ve had this campaign. Echo went unconscious at the end and earlier Lucéena ended up dying before being revivified by our cleric. In the end we all made it out alive w some new scars (and withered hands, don’t know what’s up w that yet).

After the fight and making sure Blue was ok, Echo approached Lucéena for help cutting off her old master’s head, and while the rest took a break, the two went off to find a spike to stick it on (peak romantic activity I know lol).

They ended up talking about the fight and how Echo was feeling after it and standing there, under the spiked head of Echo’s master and his house in flame behind them, they ended up kissing. They’ve been having a lot of heart to heart convos after crazy terrible things happen but Lucéena still didn’t really expect it. She’s had a crush on Echo for a long time but I don’t think she thought her feelings might be reciprocated. All she’s ever wanted was to look after Echo and the other members of the party. If nothing ever happened she’d still have been happy knowing that she did her best to keep Echo safe, it’s the simplest way Lucéena can express her affections. But now they could be more, which is something Lucéena wasn’t fully prepared for.

They ended up spending the night together after that but they haven’t had the chance to talk about it or what that means they are. This is uncharted waters for Lucéena so I look forward to seeing how this goes!
