#roleplaying game

Hey guys, sorry about the inactivity on this blog. Tales from the Tethys Sea is on an indefinite hiatus.

Lately D&D hasn’t really been providing what I want from a roleplaying game, but I have been diving deep into Legend of the Five Rings, or L5R. In fact, I started running an actual play podcast that I host and GM, called Shadow of the Cabal. If samurai conspiracies are your thing, feel free to check it out.

You can listen to all the episodes so far on our site and subscribe using the podcast application of your choice. Our twitter account is here.

Tethys Sea may return some day, but now my life is about pretending to be a samurai. Whatever game suits you, play on.

It’s “Glitter Hearts” but the battles are all inspired by this: (epilepsy warning)

DM- Player, have you ever hear the song “Two Knights and Maidens” by Crash Test Dummies?

Player- No?

DM- Great, so the lady offers you a drink.

Imagine not playing the “Muppetborn” homebrew race in 5e and going “YAAAAYYYY!” Or “COOOKIIEEESSS!” every two minutes.

In “Glitterhearts,” keep your party on their toes by having Sailor Moon-esque plotlines with Madoka Magica level stakes.

The party must travel to a long lost kingdom to recover 7 magical artifacts in the hopes they will be able to defeat a powerful soceress. She has returned from 1000 years imprisonment on the moon to overthrow her near omnipotent monarch sister who trapped her there in the first place.

It’s “The Wizard of Zo,” except…. actually it’s just the “Wizard of Zo.”

This is quality content. So great.

In a pinch, the party but with evil beards and moustaches is always effective.

It’s “Marvel Superheroes the RPG” but refuse to acknowledge anything that is t part of the MCU.

The Devil Wears Prada- The party is endebted and must work for a wealthy Teifling.

With the addition of Leonids and Warfordged as a playable races, we are now one sentient scarecrow race away from a perfect Wizard of Oz campaign.

It’s SLA industries but you are actually all different kinds of cells working inside a human body to protect it from infection.

*Plot-* A merchant has convinced the PCs to sign a magical contract that takes away a single day of all their childhoods in exchange for something that they have always desired. The merchant is a minion that served the BBEG from the last campaign who erases the birthdays of the heroes so they were never born in order for the BBEG to live. The players have to navigate a world where the BBEG succeeded in their goals and find a single minion in an army to destroy the contract before the time is up or they disappear forever.

Your “Little Fears” monster is.

*Spins “Wheel if Ghibli”*

The PCs are tasked to rescue a princess who’s life force has been drained by an evil sorceress and the only way to defeat her is to travel to her time period of 2075 to defeat her. Add some no stakes death mechanics, furries, and a secretary named Moony Moon and by Jove you’ve got a reference that not a lot of people will get.

Start your PCs off as commoners and then a friendly wizard transforms them into fish because of global warming or something and that’s the adventure.

the contrabass saxophone is such an absurd instrument

talk dirty to me

Have ya’ll seen the double contrabass flute before???

reblogging my own post because what in the fuck

i give you the contrabass tuba. Why is it real. I dont know.

Know what’s even better?

HYPERBASS FLUTE

my counter:

piccolo trombone 

I’m both glad and sad that string players are only limited to violin, viola, cello, and bass. Can you imagine a contrabass? Or a piccolo violin????

String players are not limited to just those.

I present, THE OCTOBASS

It’s so big that it needs keys to hit the strings.

And in the reverse direction there exists the Pochette. Translated from French, it means pocket, as it was a pocket sized violin like instrument.

This is amazing

someone post the archlute

This one?

Who ordered the Patently Absurd Bard DLC?

Fighter- You have my sword.

Ranger- And my bow.

Barbarian- and my Axe.

Bard- and my OCTOBASS!

Imagine how messed up your party is going to be when they hit Strad with a Sunlight Spell and he just starts sparkling like diamonds.

Remind your players that this gaming session is brought to you by Raid Shadow Legends!
