Okay so awesome news I will be running my first ever DnD session for Halloween. I am sooooo excited and scared and generally if anyone has any advice pls say because I’ll need it haha.
BUT main thing I wanted to ask was, I’m basing a puzzle in my game on the grave game from the Action Point Zero’s Halloween special The Lost City, and I need ideas for what tricks and treats can be on each grave. So if you have any fun ideas pls comment and/or reblog because I have 35 graves to fill and not enough time in my hand to think of them all.
This is all for fun please don't be a jerk if none of these things happen.
Liam plays an angsty character
Sam plays a Small character
Taliesin plays a character that is a complete antithesis to Caduceus in some way (like how asexual, aromantic Cad is pretty much the opposite of pansexual sex god Mollymauk)

Someone is going to be chaotic good and we know EXACTLY who it is
Marisha plays a paladin with mommy issues

They're at the table instead of socially distanced
Context: I'm creating an aarakocra ranger. Her name is Aur Ikki and she is a barn owl. She is a very social being, loves shiny objects, and doesn't understand the laws of the material plane. Her favored foe is beasts.
I just wrote her ideal: "It may be survival of the fittest, but if you don't have compassion then you are no better than a wild beast"
Things that have happened so far in my first attempt to play DnD
My character, a folk hero, introducing herself to everyone: "Hi, my name's Jazmin Riveroak, maybe you've heard of me?"
She has started a fight in a tavern by very loudly and off-key singing the ballad ABOUT HER and then spitting very bad ale in the face of the ruffian who asked her to stop.
Skeletons start coming to life. Jazmin: tears the head off a skeleton. Its eyes begin to glow. Jazmin: yeets the thing across the room while screaming.
Jazmin: You guys gotta admit, I'm pretty good at starting fights.
The elven wizard, giving her inspiration: You're so good at starting fights, now try ENDING one!
"Ignore me, will you?" - Jazmin, dealing the killing blow to an enemy that had leaped right over her head to attack someone else.
Alright, ya’ll: I know I have like 2 followers, but Imma post this anyway. I want to start sharing my characters to the ones who will read ‘em, because I like sharing. So, here’s my first character profile.
(Should I add a picture? Pictures are eye catching, right?)
Essence “Lightfoot” Prue
Female, Human Variant Monk: Way of the 4 Elements
5′5
Colors: Black hair, intense hazel eyes, darkly tanned skin
Current Level: 3
Weapon Of Choice: Her fists (of course) and a light crossbow
Current Campaign: A Hunt In Shadows
General Description: Ess normally stands up straight and holds herself with confidence. She has an undercut pulled back into a short and messy pony tail. She sometimes has strands of hair in her face as her eyes are in constant thought. Most are intimidated by her sharp features, chiseled jawline, a lithe, yet muscular body, and lightly scarred face, like someone who just got into a fight and won. Her blunt words, and curious glances through eyes that seem to see into you don’t exactly help either.
Her Story So Far:
Unbeknownst to the majority of her current party, Ess is the only child to a powerful land owners, who sought to have Ess want for nothing, and soon inherit the property of her own. Her parents thought to themselves: Here’s thier daughter who loves to spend far to much time in the sun, she will become a great heiress of many lands. However, as a girl with other plans, after getting to a fist fight with a boy, the young heiress decided to leave home and pursue her dream of becoming a champion fighter in the Rings of the Mighty. It may have been entertainment for the rich and those who could afford it, but it would be worth it getting to the top, At first, no one would endorse Essence, finding to be young and inexperienced. She found herself among the smaller underground fight clubs around the major city of Zerathus, losing, but always coming back. Broken bones, black eyes, bruised lungs. Every fight made Ess comeback stronger. Her fans called her an underdog in the making. Her opponents called her “one stubborn bitch”. For every fight she lost, she made another fighter run for his money.
Soon she was picked up by a sponsor, who introduced her to a combative master by the name of K’hiria Tielphae, a tall elf with silver hair and blue eyes. He taught her how to use her dexterity and motion to her advantage. However, unwilling to be simply spoon fed, she started additional training on her own, pushing herself to her limits. During her first fight in the middle class arena, she lost dramatically. Her master then taught her how to be patient and wait for strikes and openings.
“You’re a smart girl, Ms. Prue.” He’d say, as he leaned to one side of the wall and crossed his arms, elven body towering over hers. “But you must use your instincts. Stay on your toes, catch them when you’ve tired them out. Play your strengths. Don’t exploit your weaknesses.”
It wasn’t long before she won her first fight, circling her opponents and staying barely out their reach. People started calling her “Lightfoot.” Quick with a punch and even quicker on her feet, as she floated in the arena. Before her twentieth birthday, she had won the Tournaments of the Mighty twice, and became a finalist several times on and off season.
Soon, it came to her attention, that though she was doing what she loved, she still felt unfulfilled. She retired and contemplated traveling around the world. She was afraid her parents may not take her back, after avoiding communication with them for so long.
Before she could decide, a summons from the king of the region decided to recruit her as a splinter team to stop a mage from unleashing the horrors on the Material plane. Unwilling to pass up this opportunity, she agreed, only asking that she is brought to her parents and buried with her family if she passes.
Since then, she’s been traveling with a dwarven monk, who’s ginger beard and jolly face placed some distaste in her mouth because of his drinking habits, an old soldier who had been charged for treason after deserting the army, Ess’s bardic friend, a gnome with a love for jewelry and a knack for fitting into small places, and finally a peculiar tiefling with dark purple skin and horns that curled like rams. Upon her shoulder sat a small black rat that seemed to stare aimlessly forward and occasionally sniffle.
So far as a team they’ve encountered said evil mage, almost died, have been sent to an extradimensional plane full of undead, (where the old soldier decided to step on all the undead hands and subsequently piss off the other undead), and now are attempting to escape a dungeon under the guidance of a clinically insane sorcerer halfling. At one point, the old soldier slayed a dragon wyrmling, which hit Essence pretty hard. In her world, dragons created the planes of existance, making them gods. Only these gods all died on the Material Plane, making this beast part of an extinct species. The old soldier, Ess now called ‘Godslayer’, which is not a good thing in her book.
Along the way, under stress and duress, she unlocked her ki for the first time, leaping further than she ever thought she could. Though it isn’t explained to her, she feels like she’s doing something natural. Unsure of the extent of her new found abilities, she kept how she felt to herself.
Recent Achievements:
Shooting a crawling hand off the neck of her best friend with a crossbow with pinpoint accuracy

Developing a crush on the cute tiefling with the rat.
Hai, I'm Nocturne, one of the mods for a Persona 5 DnD campaign done both over Roll20 and VNO (Visual Novel Online)! My DM and I have decided to hit the hard reset button on our previous campaign and have decided to start over. Problem is, we need people. This campaign is set around an original cast and setting, and we want to make sure that every character is impactful and unique, so that nobody falls into the backlines of obscurity. Sorry guys, that means no Fool Arcana.
The group so far only has six members, and we're looking to expand, as our previous members lost interest too soon in, sadly. We're across different countries and timezones, so flexibilty is definitely not a problem.
Our VNO sequences will be centered more around Real World Events, as where Roll20 is where we'll be conducting our Palace and Mementos runs. Things such as our Discord Server and Documents will be made available upon request.
Thanks!
