When Anaspieoa took her tribe-sister, it did not strike all at once. It crept through her blood, draining her strength and leaving the tribe helpless to watch as a magical infliction slowly claimed someone they loved. For Eponine, a sister beyond more than blood. This event haunted Eninope for all her days, until the disease gripped someone else in her tribe.

Grief has now become a fierce, urgent purpose. She has left the only home she has ever known to seek healers, scholars, and anyone who might understand the disorder. She will uncover its secrets, however far she must travel or whatever dangers she must face. She could not save her tribe-sister—but she refuses to let the illness take another without a fight.

This is Striga. Striga is usually a half-elven graceful Battlemaster (at a reasonable 14 Str). Striga, however, has made some bad decisions in life. And we don't mean only trying to take on three vampires (in Xanathar's lair) . We don't even mean going toe to toe with a weird brain with a beak (in Xanathar's lair) . We aren't even referring to the whole "turned into a rat while everyone else is fighting for their life" bit, even if it's a strong contender.

Some of her past bad decisions also include making sure she fucks up every single close person to her, or forsaking her past good ideals to serve the Cassalanters for coin and pride, or breaking a weird evil gem containing ten horsemen, including Zariel's lover and first general, and then letting *that* run free and get in her head right until the whole "possessed-by-a-devil-who-then-stole-her-body-leaving-only-a-soul-gem"... Wait, no, I think we might be referring to that. That's a pretty good contender in the list of fuck-ups. Because what else would then lead to having no body, having your emotional support friend (a sixteen year old orphan) call up their rakshasa adoptive dad to "I know a guy" the situation by calling up a strange witch and throwing the soul gem into a weird flesh soup? Yeah, not a lot of situations. Well. She now has the Warfiend's horns as a reminder, not to mention the bloodthirst of someone who has felt the rush of being truly unstoppable (even if we ignore the mildly possessed part). And then, well , now, being in the middle of Xanathar's lair, seven potions in, including one of Giant Strength, just to feel a fraction as strong as she did when the Warfiend possessed her body?

Surely she knows nothing can go wrong.

Why you go on Striga. As if you aren't desperate to prove yourself, as if you can ever forget all her power that you no longer have. As if just pushing it down, or shoving it aside, will make you feel less like you're always gonna end up down there. As if you can stop her voice from ringing in your head...

Surely, it's gonna all be fine?

Cheers everyone!

This is currently my slightly homebrewed Battle master, Striga, who used to be a half elf and then through witch shenanigans got turned into soup and then a strange mix of many races, still carrying some of the features of the devil who possessed her for more than a year. It's been so much fun, playing her through all of that, and I've been surprised and read more than once by our DM. Recently the campaign has slowed down, but it's moments and drawings like these that bring me back to my hype.

If you stuck this long - thanks for reading and have a good one!

More art, if you feel like it:

Cheers!

Basically as the title says, in 10 days my players will fight the BBEG in (one of the) final session of the campaign. A campaign that started out when we where all still in highschool, continued on throughout college and will now come to an end with most of us having jobs.

AMA.

This is a piece I was commissioned to make recently.

"Once thought to only be the unassuming driver of the Tormentor in the wastes of Avernus. Ferrying heros about as they fought Zariel. It was revealed this bone devil was Asmodeus, Lord of the Hells, in disguise, keeping an eye on things.

From time to time he'd keep tabs on other heros as they battled against Acererak, the Frostmaiden and many others. All the whole laying seeds of his plot against the gods and mortals.

Now ten years of connected campaigns comes to a close as the last group of heros turn to face the final villain that has been working in the shadows on a grand chessboard."

I'm currently open for commissions in case anyone is interested! you can see prices and stuff here:

I got the offer to join my first campaign.

And I'm so so excited!

I don't know any of the players. I contacted the DM on Reddit after he posted in a sub from my area that his group was still looking for players.

He seems really considerate, like a nice and like it's very important to him that everyone at the table feels comfortable.

We were brainstorming about how my character could join the group mid-campaign and then he said. Hm, yeah I had this encounter planned. We could introduce your character there.

But maybe your character meeting the group that way is to damsel in distress-y.

And I realised we hadn't talked about the fact that I'll be the only woman among 4 men.

And I don't know how common it is to address things like stuff around how you don't want yourself or your character be treated beforehand.

There's a bit of a background to it as well, I think.

I switched careers into a male-dominated field a couple of years ago via an apprenticeship. I was one of two women in our class.

And the daily conversations were unfortunarely drenched with either constant sexist remarks towards us or about women. Including jokes about SA. And just basically the whole MAGA talking points.

Which was so draining and on a level a bit soulcrushing tbh. Which is how I don't want to feel ever again. And definitely not in my spare time.

I noticed I still feel immediately uncomfortable and exhausted afterwards, when a conversation takes an ever so slight turn into sexual, offensively flirty or whatever territory where I feel singled out and have to react somehow to such behaviour.

It's just additional stuff I have to think about how to navigate and how to separate meta from in-game level which I don't want to have to think about.

Especially when I'm new and the only woman with a bunch of men.

And I don't want to default to a position where I don't want to feel like a bother or like I shouldn't cause a stirr before even joining the group by talking about .. I guess it's boundaries in the end?

I hadn't really thought about that though before the conversation with the DM turned toward how to avoid a damsel in distress scenario (which does definitely seem like a good sign).

From posts I've read in DnD I got the feeling that most DnD groups seem very accommodating and respecting of each member's boundaries.

But I also saw posts that it can also sometimes be an issue that a male player is being a d*** under the guise of his Durance from PoE kind of character being sexist or constantly pushing a romance.

So I thought I'd ask my fellow female players how you handle something like this beforehand.

And maybe for a bit of confirmation that my assumption that those kinds of rounds are definitely the exception rather than the rule?

Quick question: as a DM, does this count as vent art? 🙃

I love my players dearly but boy, they do test me with their ability to come up with the most bonkers ideas that sends them in the complete opposite direction of what I had planned for them.

Forever thankful for mid-session bathroom breaks and random encounter rolling tables. 😭 And honestly, very interested to hear of what wild tangents other tables have put their DMs through lmao

So, this is mostly a question for DMs but if other players have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Recently I've started to notice our DM feels tired or frustrated in session, for moments. Maybe even bored, if we get stuck doing something meaningless for too long.

(Sometimes I pull dumb shit, sometimes my friends pull dumb shit, etc).

(Sometimes we make him laugh, too, fortunately).

I realized most of the fun in roleplaying and character relationships goes to us, while he's like a designated driver for our chaos.

I think he does have fun DMing, but it's evident he misses playing his own characters and being part of the action, too.

I'm new to this, so I don't think I could offer to run a campaign for him anytime soon and, anyway, the current one is far from being over, but...

How could I, as a player, help to make his efforts as rewarding as possible?

If you are a DM: What kind of stuff makes you feel happy to dm for others and have fun with everyone else at the table?

If you are a player: What would you do to contribute to that?
