The TTRPG Tournament

The Ultimate Showdown between your TTRPG characters! Currently on Season 2.

[thettrpgtournament]

Here are the standings so far, going into Round 4.

The individual match ups are:

Halos Lightbringer vs Constance

Aurora Byford vs Lord Tye

[thettrpgtournament]

Will we get a third season? I haven't been able to partake yet D: (it's understandable if you'd rather wrap it up though!)

Not sure on season 3 just yet. We'll run another interest poll soon, but if there is season, it won't be for a little while. Mod Zack is running another poll tourney right now, and modding two of them got very confusing, and Mod Ellie is can't run the entire thing by themselves.

Thanks for the question!

[thettrpgtournament]

And here are the final standings!

Thank you all so much for participating!

[thettrpgtournament]

And the winner of Season 2 is...CONSTANCE (@ladyamirite)!

Aurora is 50's america's most normalest woman who's definitely not actually a changeling eating people in the woods.

Imagine the highest and mightiest elf royalty stereotype. Proud, haughty, obsessed with power and influence, attitude for days, bedecked in fine clothes and jewels. Now imagine all of that stuffed into an adorable three foot tall beanie-baby looking creature.

That's Lord Tye. An Aristocrat Guide of the Winter Court, they attend a fairy festival as an honored guest (according to them) to throw their power and influence around to try and stop a rival noble from laying claim to a small, insignificant territory for curious secret reasons. They will bribe, wheedle, and trade secrets and favors to get their way while being absolutely insufferably full of themself the entire time. Just don't ask them their true name!

Some more tidbits to hype up His Opulencecy!

Lord Tye was voted most likely to taste good if you ate him. On account of the fact that he looks like a fluffy prey animal.

He has Twinkle formally announce him whenever he enters any room. Any room.

And finally, here is my original sketch of him when I first designed him!

Halos Lightbringer vs Constance

Halos Lightbringer

Constance

Voting ended onJun 23, 2023

Why you should vote for each of them and full art below!

Halos Lightbringer (by @cl3ric for Dungeons & Dragons)

(art by @alanahsart-blog)

Halos is a Half Orc cleric of Light from the campaign Silverlinings! Hailing from a small island off the coast of Nicodranas and raised by two loving, still alive adoptive parents, she was driven to become a cleric of Pelor because of her cousin and role model Priya, a paladin of the same god. Halos strives to help others while maintaining a positive attitude-- this can be a little off putting to her coworkers in a "why are you so happy that we have to get mutant rats out of the sewer" way. She loves talking, cooking for her friends, and being a good cleric.

Her main arc so far is her struggle in balancing her faith and her friendship-- when her best friend (and pathetic little meow meow) Argos is revealed to have killed a lighthouse keeper due to something taking control of them in their sleep, Halos helps them and the rest of the party lie to the police when they're questioned. This leaves Halos questioning if she's still a good person, if she's still righteous, and a fear of losing her place as a cleric starts to grow. She resolves to make sure that Argos never hurts another person again if she can stop it. So far it's been successful! ‍‍ ‍‍ ‍‍

A vote for Halos is for religiously obsessed magical girls! ‍‍ ‍‍

Pickles is pitbull in a world where dogs can awaken and gain human like sentience. His goal in life is to travel around and try all the people food in the world! (And to find out why he’s awakened and his sister, Olive, is not.)

Amalthea (by @dt75artblog for The Dragon's Table)

(art by @dt75artblog)

Amalthea is a 15 year old pirate queen! Her armada is made of old sailboats, her ocean is a medium-sized lake, and her crewmates are all teens (or younger), but I assure you, the bloodshed is real. She values the little things in life, such as good food, riches beyond measure, and finding the guy who killed her parents when she was a baby (so she can rip him to shreds). She has a magic bracelet that turns people who wear it into sea slugs, so watch out competition!!!

Aurora Byford (by @scattereda for Monster of the Week)

(art by @rosenkranz-does-things)

Aurora is 50's america's most normalest woman who's definitely not actually a changeling eating people in the woods. She was having a great time amongus-ing the group of monster hunters she joined to stay under the radar until the world's worst man dragged her to the moon with him (which will hopefully be exploding very shortly)

[constancelyobsessed]

Aurora goes crazy but there's this one moment with John Doe (another changeling) where Aurora has to hand him a gun and goes:

Aurora: I'm going to hand you something and you have to promise to give it back to me.

John: Cross my heart and hope to die!

Aurora: I hope you die.

Then drops into the lab and like instakills a guy. I think about this all the time.

Anyway vote Aurora

Reasons you should vote for each of them and full art below!

Addy Goldman (by @ihaveapencilbehindmyear for Vampire: The Masquerade)

(art by @wyllora)

Meet Hollywood's newest darling, Adeline Lee Goldman! This sweet Southern Belle is the star of a popular supernatural drama; yes, she's a vampire who plays a vampire on TV! She'll stop at nothing for success, and she's going to need all her charm to navigate the world of vampire politics.

Marcy Valiente (by @confusedwithglitter for Vampire: The Masquerade)

(art by @confusedwithglitter)

Marcy is a century old vampire living in Birmingham. He plays peacemaker between the vampire and werewolf factions, the only one in the city who is able to do so, and was called out and wounded in court for defending the latter. A sweet young man with his fair share of past relationships, Marcy wears his heart on his sleeve and spends his time wandering around the city in dog form. Charming and endearing, Marcy maneuvers society by being unassuming and patient (though the jury's out on if that patience is based in wisdom or cowardice). He's also almost completely covered in tattoos!

Halos Lightbringer (by @cl3ric for Dungeons & Dragons)

(art by @alanahsart-blog)

Halos is a Half Orc cleric of Light from the campaign Silverlinings!

hey hi hello there!

Back again with more Marcy stuff!

unfinished but meant to be a power piece for Marcy. Often treated like the high humanity bleeding heart gangrel that he is, folks tend to forget Marcy is a brawler with feral weapons (an ability that ups his damage output and ignores some defenses for your average sturdy vampire).

Marcy lives under Camarilla dictatorship, with a Prince who's goal is to avoid the beckoning and remain in power as long as possible. After eradicating the Thinbloods, the Prince had his eyes on the Malkavians next.

Though his memory was erased for his own safety, it was Marcy who tore out his throat, preparing to strike the Prince with his own sword if he stood again. He did not, and Marcy was taken to a hound who covered up the memory.

In the interim before he got his memory back, Marcy stared down Lasombra agents who would see the werewolves hunted, and Archons seeking to hunt bounties in the city. He witnessed the remains of a werewolf massacre, and still seeks the keep safe the city that saw him beaten a d staked in Elysium.

That's Lord Tye. An Aristocrat Guide of the Winter Court, they attend a fairy festival as an honored guest (according to them) to throw their power and influence around to try and stop a rival noble from laying claim to a small, insignificant territory for curious secret reasons. They will bribe, wheedle, and trade secrets and favors to get their way while being absolutely insufferably full of themself the entire time. Just don't ask them their true name!

Zero (by @monoxical for Pathfinder)

(art by cy_bology)

Zero is a fetchling rogue with an affinity for the dark. Raised by orc farmers, she was always a small, strange presence in community gatherings - with eyes of pure white and standing barely three feet tall. They left their sleepy town along with the halfling Dorothy to embrace the roaring seas. Their crew of lawless pirates fought the corruption they crossed at every harbour, but it was only a few years before tragedy struck in the form of a deadly shipwreck. Zero was the only survivor. His sharp wit and skill with stealth has kept him alive thus far, but the observant would notice that the fetchling is paranoid at times, always looking behind like there might be something watching...

[pseudospectre]

[cracks knuckles] Ok time for some propaganda!

Lord Tye is the best and most important noble in all the fae courts! They are dashing, handsome, benevolent, and worth everyone's admiration! He thanks everyone for their kind support so far, it is much beloved and deserved! He looks forward to adding "ttrpg tournament champion" to his illustrious record of titles. :)

- important words from Lord Tye's right-hand guy. people. creature? Twinkle, who is technically a swarm of hundreds of tiny creatures working in tandem to support, serve, and hype up his illustrious patron. (Twinkle is an NPC)

Fun facts about Lord Tye:

-They collect titles and appointments the way some people collect Funko pops

-Their most important title to date is the *coveted* Emissary of Sealed Whispers, which is technically just ownership of about five square feet of territory but there's a very important [redacted] within the borders (immovable) that makes this a posting that is actually an important role to oversee as opposed to the equivalent of an honorary degree xD

-He once ordered Twinkle to execute an underling for the crime of wearing the incorrect hat in his presence. (Twinkle ushered the offender away, gave them five dollars, and sent them home. Lord Tye never noticed) (this process happens a lot)

-he has horrible little skinny jerboa-ish legs (because our group decided that would be super cursed and funny)

Bonus fact! He is choosing to spend one of his secrets to ensure a good outcome, as per Hollyhock festival rules!

He secretly is *excellent* with names and faces, and remembers everyone he meets. He just acts flighty and pompous about not paying attention or caring about them to keep up the ruse of extreme nobility :)

Please vote for Lord Tye!
