Sweet Pea’s goblin friend has a name now! It’s Nettle. Nettle usually has the brain cell between the both of them, but it’s still just the one brain cell.
[ID: drawing of Nettle, a goblin, sitting o n the head of Sweet Pea, a gnoll. Nettle says, “I don’t think we can girlboss our way out of this one.” End ID]

Oh rylan,,,, you’re 14 and your big brother is taken away and you don’t really know why but he never comes back, and then he’s dead, and then you can’t talk about him because he’s a traitor. The rest of your siblings go their own way, and you take up the mantle for Darian because you’ll never admit it but he was always your favorite. The prodigal son is gone and you’re all that’s left when your mom gets too old and your dad gets too sick, so you do what you’ve always done and you follow in Darian’s footsteps. You were never a prodigy like he was, but he always said you were smart, and you work hard, so you make it work.
(Somewhere on the road, hundreds of miles away and decades later, Darian’s never been prouder of you, and he wishes he could tell you that)
In honor of our D&D party finally choosing a team name after [checks notes] 10 months of playing, here is some spotify album art for the shared party playlist. Here they are, the Gold Standard!
[ID: A drawing showing the silhouettes of a group of five people in gold against a black background. From left to right, there is a tall man with long hair holding a trident, a short and stocky woman with fur over her shoulders, a slightly taller woman with an afro and a star near her head, a tall man with a single dangling earring and a spear at his back, and a tiefling woman in profile with her hand on her hip. Above each of their heads is a different symbol, outlined in gold: a trident with rays coming from the tips, an abstracted wave, a crescent moon next to a star, a pomegranate with leaves beneath it, and a feather, respectively. End ID.]
[Image description: a digital drawing of a group photo of SICL. From left to right it shows: Kempa, Suri, Whitlock, Mahety, Saube, Rae, Vere, Z'ress, and Ingot. Kempa and Whitlock are sitting together on the ground, leaning against each other. Everyone else is standing. Suri is smiling confidently at the viewer, Mahety and Saube are leaning against each other, and Rae and Vere are also close. Z'ress is smiling softly at Ingot, who is posing somewhat formally. They’re all inside a thieves’ guild built on a series of hanging platforms, with more walkways and people silhouetted in the background. The drawing is bordered by an elegant, grey picture frame that has been spray painted with rainbow colors. A more detailed description of each person’s outfit is below the cut. End description.]
Playing different campaigns of ttrpg with the same group of people is just the found family version of “in every lifetime, in every universe, I’d find you and I’d choose you”
Castor doesn’t have a sorcerer tattoo but he does have a secret tattoo in the same place. I think the party has at least seen it now so I am posting it.
[ID: a digital drawing of a bouquet of flowers on a purple background. It contains forget-me-nots, edelweiss, daisies, heliotrope, and irises.]
We know about castors family now so:
Forget-me-nots: Darian. Basically just don’t forget me.
Edelweiss: Rodan. Means courage/devotion.
Daisies: Rylan. Means innocence/hope.
Heliotrope: Vira and Alben. Means eternal love/devotion.
[Image Description: A digital painting of a gnome woman from the waist up in front of a dark blue background. She has brown skin, golden eyes, and violet hair in braids pulled back into a bun. She wears ornate white, red, and gold clothing, and a red cloth headband. She looks towards the viewer with a slight smile. End ID.]
