My Favorite Go To TTRPG Character, I Play Him In Multiverse Conceps Too; His Name Is Always Valdo Udvardy

we are playing a homebrew one off ttrpg adventure this Saturday for one of our player's birthday. We combined the two most chaotic energy races that reminded us of them, goblins and kobolds and called the Koblins; and we determined a group of Koblins is called an Ope; so here is the Ope for the adventure, no names yet, but classes are: fighter, rogue, barbarian, sorcerer, bard, ranger, druid and warlock; no inteligence based classes lol just chaos monkies. we are all gonna roll randomly to see which character we get, so i tried to draw them as androgynous as possible because i don tknow whos getting whom. so i tried to draw extra wide hips or curves to give feminine but since they are also kobold dna in them they are reptile so no breasteses just smooth bois and the tails vary from short to long and horns vary, they kinda look like tiefling goblins but i tried to draw some reptilian features as well

I'd like alternative names for fantasy races. If you have any alternative names, especially for Dwarves, let me know. Original my handle/screen name was gonna be Hipster Dwarf but I felt it's not PC by today's standards and I didn't feel comfortable using it. So if you have some let me know by commenting below. The only one I came up with is Fjell or mountain and Kyn for kin combo lazily into Fjellkyn. Sláinte!

I decided to revisit a ttrpg character of mine, Quinoa, who is a firbolg barbarian, he's very chill until he is not. i originally went for a slim tall barbarian look but my brother said he should be bigger, so i decided to go with a slim thick look lol i like it, here is the progression and flat colors

take it.

found old art drawn on an ipad mini; i remember being so proud of this, took me a week to draw because the dang ipad was so slow with only 2 gigs of ram lol i had multiple tabs and that poor thing was struggling lol but stillr poud of it

new profile pic, rebranding under Hipster Gnome for 2024 and onward, this will be my year; this was drawn using Clip Studio Pro on an Asus Zenscreen Ink

This is a warlock and their patron concept for TTRPG story coming up. I could reveal more but we reads my posts and cares lol

this is my warlock character from a TTRPG adventure, he was pact with radiance and goodness, he was basically a good cop idea, lawful stupid warlock and also did not like fighting lol

lol mood

I needed this and I feel there are many I know that do as well 💜🫶🏻

Beat your imposter syndrome and self-doubt on your personal Hero’s Journey

You probably know the Hero’s Journey popularized by Joseph Campbell, the basic structure for many beloved stories. A hero gets called to action, enters an unknown world, faces challenges and temptations, fails, learns what they need to change, applies said new insights, et voilà: success.

I just realized you can apply this to your imposter syndrome and self-doubt. Many of you feel (or fear) you don’t have the skills to bring your big, new project to an end. I’m here to tell you: you don’t need to.

The hero at the beginning of the story doesn’t have what it takes to bring their journey to a successful end. It’s the journey itself that transforms the character into someone who has what it takes to finish it. The character at the end of the journey is not the same as the character at the beginning of the journey.

So start ambitious projects that you feel underqualified for. It’s not imposter syndrome or writer’s block. You're in the challenges and temptations phase of your journey. Don’t let them hold you back. Let them transform you. Identify the skills you need to acquire to make your journey into a success. Learn. Practise. You’re not “not good enough”—you’re on your Hero’s Journey and you’re on the threshold of your transformation phase.

(I told my husband about this idea and he played Don't stop believin' by Journey. Per-fection.)
