Crypts And Critters

A blog for my D&D/Pathfinder stuff

[podcastwizard]

dnd jokes that will always be funny no matter what your dm tells you

"jesus christ" "who's that"

"this is just like (tv show/movie)" "that's my favorite play"

referring to famous musicians or actors from the real world as "bards"

adding the word "fantasy" in front of modern things (i pull out my Fantasy iPhone and open Fantasy Tinder)

"how hurt are you" "on a scale of one to twenty-eight i'd say i'm at about a nine."

feel free to add more

Your story that you told is full of huge moments, epic moments, set peace moments that everyone grabs onto and remembers. From a personal standpoint, as a player, what are some of those small little micro moments that have stuck with you the most over the years?

Brennan, about to make the players experience the longest second in the history of dnd:

[stickandthorn]

Our party is: two mean powerful wizard women who could step on absolutely anyone and they’d thank them, a bardlock and a bardsorer who are absolutely faking it till they make it, a sad dilf paladin who has just stepped out of the highest of fantasy books and is just Trying His Best, and a bird man rouge who is the most old school Hollywood noir detective to ever live, breath, and dramatically smoke a cigarette. I am SO excited.

watch Critical Role Unlimited: Calamity for the emotional sensation of being thrown down several flights of stairs.

brennan, bringing an absolutely masterful, tense, cinematic, beginning rp-sequence to an end: -and you wake up.

I love how Marisha categorically rejects the whole “What doesn’t kills you, makes you stronger” type of stories with her characters. I mean, she directly said that in talks, but is also nice to see how her work shows it.

For Keyleth, “What doesn’t kills you…” stays with you your whole life, in form of anxiety and self consciousness. Stays with you in form of mourning and the truth of watching you family go away in the thousand years+ that you’re going to live. You have to work through it, help those you can help, learn how your voice carries power, and learn what being a leader means. 

For Beau, “What doesn’t kills you…” Fucks you up beyond belief. Distorts your value as a person and how you approach your relationship with the world. Damages how you treat yourself. You’ll have to re-learn, with the help of friends and those painfully new formed relationships, how to heal, and how to let people in. You forge yourself a new and shinny found family and start working in the true meaning of yourself. 

For Laudna, “What doesn’t kills you…” well, it actually did kill you, but then it didn’t. It robbed you of years, it isolated you for decades. Your killer is now trapped inside your head, making you uneasy, haunted. But you wanted new friends and ways to help them, so in spite of all that, you go out, being unapologetically yourself, and offer that eagerness to the world. Facing some rejections sure, but not letting those bringing you down, you already went trough worse.    

Her works will NEVER say “I’m better because x happened to me”. 

Her works DO say loudly “I was dealt a bad thing, but in spite of that, i’ll do my best to move forward. Its going to be awkward, painful and hard. Its going to be messy and sometimes not only upwards. But i’m working through it with everything i have” and i love her for it.

[ID: A tweet from Marisha Ray @.Marisha_Ray which reads: “Fantasy come to life. Dream realized on so many levels. FOR WHITESTONE! FOR MY NERDY FAM! #TheLegendofVoxMachina #Skywrite” There are two picture attached of Marisha standing outside under a clear sky where a rough approximation of the crest of Whitestone is written overhead. In the first she’s facing away from the camera, a hand raised as if she’s casting the Skywrite spell to put the image there, and in the second she’s cheering her success. /end ID]
