Delving into the deepest parts of the mysterious wizard dungeon, the party is faced with an... unexpected reunion. Story recap ⬢ https://wha
Oh hey! I can post about our show here now!
For those of you who don't know, I'm Jay! And I run a D&D 5e actual play show on YouTube called "What's Left of Us" with Zoe Bee, @thestarfishface, MegaRon, Wild Jinx, and Thought Slime! We run on the last Friday of every month, which means our next episode is tomorrow at 2pm EST! You wanna see what it's like? The villain they're about to fight has a fabled artifact called "The Butt Crown".
We're also continuing our donation drive for the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, so maybe help spread this around?
I think you're gonna like it, and I hope you all stop by!
I haven’t watched Severance yet, but friends have told me a little about the plot and the concept of “separating parts of your brain” is really interesting, I wonder if any other media has explored that-
OOPS I have accidentally dropped several pages of my webcomic Castoff on your dash OOPS MY BAD!!!
Can’t believe how clumsy I am today, sorry folks-
AW BEANS now I’ve also dropped the URL where you can read the entire comic FOR FREE on your dash too!!
I’m such a butterfingers today, man, this is a disaster
Rodin: Mira! I am so glad you're alive again! It's so good to see you!
Mira: Yeah good to see you too, hey remember that REALLY CRINGE THING you did like a month ago? WELL I saw it, as a ghost, while I was dead, and I need you to know that I thought it was cringe. So
Hello my friends I have been tired and stressed bc of work and moving and my computer exploding, and therefore have not drawn for funsies in a few weeks. I am attempting to remedy this. Behold: Thursday game doodles.
Context:
Pic 1: Parallels between Verity's old and current party, now that the squad is all together! Mira and Barbfin, Ani and Darius, Veil and Willow, and then Verity and Rodin being Awkward off to the side
Pic 2: Soooooo Verity and Rodin had a bit of a fight in the most recent session, that may or may not have ended with Verity literally destroying his paladin's oath with a hammer.
He's been a vengeance paladin since she died, and swore to kill the BBEG (who was responsible for her death and fucked over the old party and did a bunch of other Bad Shit), and in a recent session lured him (and his entire army) out so he could, and I quote, "Hit him in the face with a hammer".
Verity was v frustrated by this, saying it was reckless and stupid to put his life (and everyone else's) in danger by trying to lure him out with no kind of escape plan or backup (R: "I have my own armies and diplomatic connections and my entire spy network!" V: "Cool, WHERE WERE THEY TODAY???"), and he said he's been following the plan he "carved into stone" 150 years ago when he first took his vengeance oath. Conveniently, said stone was hanging on the wall of the room they were arguing in.
Verity says that plans can change, stone can be broken, and that just bc something is "carved into stone" doesn't mean it has to be permanent- especially since they have the entire old party back now and they have more hope now than they ever did. However, Rodin is stubborn that he's not going to change his entire game plan just bc there's slightly more hope than there was a few months ago- we found out during the same session he's only got a few months left to live, and if he's going to die he's going to take out the BBEG and fulfill his revenge as his final act.
Verity, though, is adamant that, with the combined help of both the old party and her new friends, they can make him young again and get a "second chance" at the adventures they wanted as kids- and grabs one of his blacksmithing hammers. She threatens to break the oath stone, but is hesitant at first bc it's obviously important to him. And then he says:
"Go on, break it then. Or admit that I'm right."
So she uses the hammer and divine smite on the giant slab of granite, carved with both his vengeance paladin oath and his plan to take out the BBEG, shatters it, and says he needs to "write his love on his heart and let THAT be the thing that drives him forward, not some stupid stone".
So Verity is now an oathbreaker but not in the way you'd expect lol.
Expect more doodles on this topic bc it was ONE HELL OF A SCENE and I am very sad we don't stream our Thursday game bc I would commit so many crimes to have a recording of it ;-;
Does Laz find Lapis cute in more of an “OMG BABY KITTY” way or in a “Kiss me now” way?
100% the first option, but it's more "I must protect this small baby with my life" type energy. Something between an overprotective older sibling and a parent.
Today's episode was wonderful!! :D (it's 1/31/2025 as of writing)
I love the interconnected worlds/timelines so much! they're so cool! especially learning TimTam is deeply connected to the universe, and learning Emery had this crystal in her that was completely opposite!
The "you can let go of your anger now" bit made me cry almost, i'll admit
very excited to see more of your universe!
have a nice day!! :>
I'm sorry I haven't checked my questions in a while, but thank you so much! I'm glad you like the show, and the work we all do to convey themes through the emergent play ❤️
The recent episode was wonderful! You're always really good at descriptions and setting the mood with music or tone. Also figuring out ways to make unexpected things (players not being there) smooth. You're a really good dm!! Take some time to rest, funny acorn man! Have a nice day :D
Oh this is so nice, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy the show 💖
You've been dead. Interesting. Yet it seems your programming has held up.
Finally finished this drawing of a scene from our D&D game in which the terrifying archfey that half the party is secretly (even from themselves) in service to shows up. Pictured here: Grandmother (aforementioned archfey) and Dagger (my character, undead sorcerer).
So sometime last year a friend of mine was complaining that dating apps in Texas where she lives were all "cowboys and fishmen" (fishmen in this instance referring to Dudes Holding Fish In Their Profile Pictures) and I was like hmm… cowboy fishmen… anyway here he is. The Cowboy Fishman.
You can get prints of him here if you like him. 😌
