Hiiiiiiiii 👀 👉👈 thats SUCH a cool redesign for Zariel, it got me so excited to DM a DiA campaign. Any tips for running it? I LOVE YOUR ART ITS SO AMAZING AND THE COLORS ARE SO PRETTY, THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT OKBYEE
Aww thank you so much! ❤❤❤ I LOVE Descent into Avernus, but my love is a complicated one. I do think it is a really good, albeit difficult module, to learn how to become a better DM, though... I will explain.
Totally normal patron warlock relationship.
(Ferus belongs to @siobhanchiffon, Coin (scorpion dude) belongs to me)
Little moment from the Descent into Avernus campaign where my players somehow managed to persuade the duchess of Baldur's Gate to become a vampire so they could do an alliance between vampires and mortals vs devils. A sexy sexy moment that made me so friggin' proud as a DM,,,
Characters belong to @artbytesslyn, @annadeef, @siobhanchiffon and @endlessmidnightparade !!
They will wait for you in the deep...

Mild rant from me about Hans Zimmer's involvement in Dragon Age:
I just think it's such sellout behavior to hire expensive movie composers (Zimmer is also known to be a transphobic asshole lol) known for their blockbuster soundtracks for your game when you already had the most iconic soundtrack ever for the previous installment, except the composer was lesser known.
Most people hear the swell of violins and immediately think it must be the best soundtrack ever, but if I am really honest, the DATV soundtrack so far sounds like the most generic slopfest with the laziest leitmotif I had the misfortune to hear in a long while.
Hiring people for their name alone is something I find incredibly shameful. Like I cannot even put into words how nasty it is in my eyes, because it actively takes away from lesser known creatives in the industry who could have made a name for themselves. And it doesn't matter to me if Zimmer only did the Main Theme or whatever, because in that case, it shouldn't be his name that is plastered everywhere but Balfe's! But everyone is talking about Zimmer anyway for exactly the reasons I already mentioned.
Even just the thought of how expensive this endeavor must have been... That money could have gone to other, more important places, easily. It makes the layoffs also that much more bitter in my eyes. Idk. I adore Dragon Age and I am still a huge fan and I will play it, but stuff like that make me angry. I don't need some Zimmer who has been sitting his ass on his laurels from 10 years ago in my franchise. I'd rather have a no name person, or Trevor Morris, to get a chance again.
I am so thrilled to reveal that I had the opportunity to illustrate the cover of the first issue of HORIZONS by Wildmage Press!
Some Coin doodles, my wasp scorpion devil guy.
Faltrax from my Descent into Avernus campaign!
A concubus (variation of succubus/incubus) who was bullied by Zariel's goons and shoved into a cage because they put their nose where it didn't belong. After being discovered by the PCs they persuaded whined their way into making a contract and be freed in exchange. Now they can be summoned once a day for a little boon, as long as the request doesn't harm them 💜
that Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood fanart is so cool, but I find it hard to imagine how it plays out? Is it a long game? 🤔
You can get it on Steam! It's a small, pixel indie game with some great female characters (and even an optional queer romance). I played through it in a couple of hours, but it has nice replayability since you make choices.
You play Fortuna, a witch exiled by her coven and punished to stay in her flying asteroid home for hundreds of years. The game basically starts with her not being able to handle the loneliness anymore, so she summons a Behemoth (which is illegal), Ábramar, to help fix her predicament.
Ábramar teaches you to make your own tarot cards and after that a bunch of people end up visiting you and you give tarot readings! There are a couple of options of interpreting the readings, and those readings end up influencing the story.
The game is mostly just you talking to characters, making decisions and making cute tarot cards! I really enjoyed it and loved the art style.
Played The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood and had such a good time with it!! You play as a witch making a pact with a behemoth and end up creating your own tarot deck :>
