(Quote from Half-light: Collected Poems by Frank Bidart)

ive been in a sweet religion mood so i finally finished this comic ive had sketched for ages! i just think that belizabeth should’ve died in the finale and there is something so tragic about a person that is so kind despite themselves that in the face of the woman who killed you, you still reach out to wipe away her tears

For what moments these are:

Lou — “[Brennan:] Zerxus, you pull the true heart of the Lord of the Hells into Exandria.”

Marisha — “[Brennan:] This will be our final roll of this campaign.”

Luis — Sam begins to describe Loquatius cycling through the faces of those he wronged or failed as he loses consciousness.

Sam — Marisha rolls two 10s on her Counterspell against Power Word Kill.

Aabria — “[Aabria:] Is this a spell effect?” // “[Travis:] No, this is physics.”

Travis — “[Elias:] I don’t know why I didn’t send it. I don’t know why I didn't—” // [Zerxus:] You don’t need to explain yourself. I know why, and it’s okay.“

Bonuses:

Aabria — ”[Luis:] I pull him.“ // ”[Aabria:] Does the Time Stop stop?“

Marisha — ”[Asmodeus:] Let’s get ourselves cleaned up.“

Luis — ”[Cerrit:] I love the both of you so much. So much.“

paused Neverafter and got maybe the best face to represent a cat that a human is capable of making.

Arrogant and smug but somehow simultaneously bored. The whole face says "you can keep talking if you want but I need to make it very clear that I will not be paying attention".

Imogen: FINE. For the sake of saving the world, we can go kind of in the direction of my hometown where my dad still lives so the skyship will know where to find us.

"Do you enjoy doing math?"

"I do not."

"How about live improv?"

"Not at all."

"Okay... but what if there are dragons?"

"...keep talking."

heir to the devil's fortune — chapter 25

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Chapters: 25/25

Word Count: 348,340

Rating: M

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Summary: The Kryn Dynasty and the Cerberus Assembly both suspect there is information in the ruins of Aeor that could cause civil war among the dens. The Dynasty would like to make it disappear. The Assembly wants nothing more than to get their hands on it.

Vurmus Outpost researchers are slowly disappearing, and Essek Thelyss is not believed as dead as he would like.

He's already sacrificed everything else—all that's left to save his own skin is to shed it.

(Essek uses the Transmogrification spell to disappear, and finds a tentative home in hiding as the long lost son of the Ruby of the Sea.)

i think reframing 'writing a campaign' or 'writing a plot' as writing beats has dramatically changed the quality of my dming. for me personally, i work best when i have a world with pieces that would be moving (regardless of whether the players would be there but obviously, you put the players in the crosshairs to effect change) and plan each 2-4 sessions as its own small story and i've developed a method that really works for me that i use for oneshots, mini campaigns, and in arcs for longer games.

[ID: a screenshot of a bullet point list with template headers: Location, Framing Plot (subheaders Social, Exploration, and Combat), Key NPCS, World Plot Progression, Player Hooks (subheaders repeating Player to be replaced with a PC's name)]

to further explain:

Location(s) — where the sessions will likely take place, so I have a manageable list of places to develop further in terms of worldbuilding.

Framing Plot — What is happening, what is the inciting the incident and what are the things the players cannot control. Then the subheaders are the three tiers of play. I think it's important to have an idea to tap into all of them or lean heavier into what your party is interested in but consider all of them for fun and exciting Mechanical gameplay as well as story and roleplay.

Key NPCS — Who are the NPCS that are going to be important to the framing and to the players. This is usually just a handful.

World Plot Progression — How does / how will the events of this scenario push forward what your players are working towards?

Player Hooks — Specific thoughts for how to connect the framing plot to each player character and make each player feel invested and like their choices matter.

and that's what I do to plot out my games. It's never "this is how things will resolve" it is, "this is what the situation is and this is how i want to connect my players to it and see what they do"
