dramatic ramblings of a theatrical designer

Temptation

I think one of the starkest illustrations of how incoherent Hasbro's goals for Dungeons & Dragons are is that they made the writers take out all the direct references to dragon-fucking in an effort to render the game more advertiser-friendly, but still insisted upon keeping a bunch of stuff whose narrative context strongly implies dragon-fucking front and centre in the brand identity, so now the Player's Handbook has gotta play coy about where dragon-blooded sorcerers come from.

bits from ep. 9 but make it Calvin and Hobbes

Other DMs making a GMPC: "This is the coolest guy and he's way more competent than anyone else and he's gonna babysit the party and keep them on the rails."

Brennan Lee Mulligan making a GMPC: I mixed Sam the Eagle with Inspector Javert and gave him a grudge against a specific PC who constantly outwits him with ease.

Little Cal sketch with a cheerleading outfit... he's been living in my mind rent free for the past two weeks 🥺 Maybe I'll add some colors with markers but I'm afraid to ruin it

THIS is how you play dnd

the problem with fairy portals is they were designed in the 1970s as a stopgap, under the assumption that they would be replaced after the first 10 years, when the Duchess of Loathesome Satin and Splendid Offal's cycle of death and rebirth was due to roll over. The thinking was, her shed carapace would be such an ample source of fine allegorical essence that waiting until then to enact a more durable, long-term infrastructure plan would be worth it, because the next-gen ley ways woulda barely needed servicing and could have run smoothly for the next 1,000 years and 1,000 days, when her vileness's Moribund Arousal would recur and provide a new batch of raw material. But then in '82 when Wee William Prickertoe tricked his mother the duchess into severing her connection to flow of time and subsequently took the throne for himself, he slashed the TransVeil department's budget and funneled all of those resources into "elixir development" (don't get me started). So basically we're still using portals that are half a century old and weren't mean't to last for more than a decade at most. It's really no wonder they're so unreliable these days, the hardware just gets repainted and retrofitted every couple years when some petty aphid-king or other seizes power and invents a new season or wants to give the Old Passages a new look

been completely drained of artistic and emotional energy for a while now, but nothing gets me drawing like my emotional support tiefling, Belladonna <3

it's funny how she's the one ive drawn the most out of my trans characters, considering she has zero character or backstory whatsoever, but we love her anyways

as always, timelapse under the cut (as well as a little bonus without the transparent covering :3), warning for flashing lights with the timelapse!
