I got to bring my character Barnabas into Candela Obscura this week and had so much fun!! He was The Face (Magician) as an upper class socialite who joined the circle to try and figure out how to exorcise a beautiful tea set he bought at auction that is too haunted to host with.
During the game he used a screaming sugar bowl to distract the monster we fought. I have a feeling he's the bait often in a mystery gang dynamic, which I love for him. He's very loud and sparkly.
NPC portraits from the birthday oneshot my fiancé ran for me this past weekend! It was a homebrewy ttrpg that combined elements of Werewolf and Ten Candles and centered around my character, Barnabas' 23rd birthday party mingling with high society. Drama and murder and dirigibles ensued!
A little pinup of @wendydoodles ‘s character, Aurelia and my character, Barnabas at one of Barney’s big fancy parties. We’re about to play a Blindsight spin-off one shot for my bday in July and I wanna draw Barney interacting with all of his friends, who my IRL friends will be playing as they attend his very special bday party! Hoho~
More TTRPG characters! Yep, another TTRPG to turn you onto- this one is called, “A Modern Prometheus” (I bought it for $10 on itch.io !) + It’s a two-player game where one of you plays a Scientist, the other plays the Scientist’s creation, and you take turns roleplaying NPCs as needed while working through story prompts together! My fiancé played Corvus Rally (the scientist), who I described to her upon waking as Ayla Rally (the creation), who she described to me as she laid eyes on me for the first time, stirring to life on the slab. Our story was pretty sad- Corvus was trying to bring his baby sister back from the dead after she accidentally got into some of his chemicals and tragically passed on. He’d stop at nothing, including the concern of his on-again-off-again boyfriend, Barnabas Darbas, who was our favorite NPC from the game and who just wanted to see Corvus forgive himself for what happened and stop insisting on blaming himself. And maybe show up to tea on time here and again. Ayla’s supernatural ability (or curse, depending on how you look at it, lol) was that her big emotions/ upset caused her to grow more monstrous and taller in height. She got AOT-sized by the end of it and terrorized the town, her restlessness spurned by her inability to recognize herself as the little girl she remembered being, once. When Corvus insisted that he could “still see Ayla” for who she was, Ayla took her brother’s eyes, thinking that might be the solution. She didn’t make it, in the end, and Corvus and Barnabas were certainly worse for ware...but at least they have a trauma-bond for life! We love them a lot. We called our playthrough “Blindsight.” Anyway, it’s great for Frankenstein lovers and a fun date night idea!! Highly recommend!
